"Sister, aren't you afraid that he will break his promise after taking the money?" On the way back, Adi asked Li Qingyou while eating osmanthus candy and raising his head.

He felt that Sister Qingyou was too kind, as people's hearts are unpredictable.

Li Qingyou smiled and said: "He cried so sadly, it doesn't seem to be fake. If fifty cents can save his mother's life, isn't it considered a merit?"

At any rate, she lived to be twenty-eight years old in her previous life, so she was confident that she still had a certain discernment in looking at people. Besides, the other person was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, so even if she had some little thoughts, she could clearly see through them.

Facts have proved that Li Qingyou has a good vision. The next day, his young apprentice came to visit. His name is Zhao Xiaoshan. He is thirteen years old like Li Qingyou and lives in the south of the city.

"My master has to take an hour's nap at noon every day and serve my mother's soup in the morning and evening. I will go at this time." This is the time he agreed on yesterday.

At this time, he brought his own plane and tools, and he was gesturing on the mold that Li Qingyou had prepared. It looked like that was really what happened.

This was probably the first time he had taken on a job alone. Zhao Xiaoshan was very serious about every step. He had to hang the wire at least three times just to hang it.

Adi looked at it and curled his lips, "Can you do it?"

This board is not cheap.

Zhao Xiaoshan said seriously: "I can't make any mistakes."

After saying that, he started gesturing seriously on the wooden board.

Although I don't know if he is really good at it, this attitude is worthy of praise. At most, it will only waste a piece of wood. After looking at it for a while, Li Qingyou felt relieved and turned around to continue doing other things.

On the other hand, Adi seemed to be very interested in carpentry work. He spent the whole afternoon hanging out with Zhao Xiaoshan, and did not enter the house until Li Qingyou asked them to eat.

At first, Zhao Xiaoshan was embarrassed to eat. It was not until Li Qingyou stuffed a multi-grain pastry into his hand that he ate it. He looked like he hadn't eaten in three days.

"Your master doesn't care?" After Li Qingyou said this, she felt that this was nonsense.

Teenagers are just about the time when they can eat, and even she has a big appetite, especially her brother, who has a bigger appetite and can eat three cereal cakes in one meal. Several times she was afraid that he would not be able to digest it after eating too much.

He eats less.

However, he has grown taller recently and looks good.

"Master doesn't care about food." Zhao Xiaoshan said seriously: "Only live-in apprentices care about food and housing. I am a walker. I have to go home morning and night and only go to apprentice during the day."

Even if you only have lunch during the day, you should still have lunch.

"Your master is really stingy." Li Qingyou pouted, this is really free labor, and even food is saved.

Zhao Xiaoshan pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually... the master treats me quite well, very well."

How about beating him to death and not caring about his food?

Adi snorted, "Elm head."

Li Qingyou poked his forehead and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I respect my teachers."

Well, although she also felt a bit stupid.

Although Adi was disdainful, he still smiled obediently when facing Li Qingyou, "Sister is right."

Li Qingyou lost his temper when he was like this, and gave him a chopstick of food, smiling and asking him to eat more.

Zhao Xiaoshan watched the interaction between the two with eyes full of envy.

He also wanted a sister like this, and wanted to call Li Qingyou sister, but he didn't dare. Just now, his younger sister threatened not to let him call the Li sister sister, saying that it was something only she could call.

"I'm full. You guys eat slowly while I go to work first." Zhao Xiaoshan put down his chopsticks.

Li Qingyou saw that he only ate one piece of cereal cake, and wondered that the child wolfed it down but didn't eat much.

In fact, he wasn't full, he just didn't dare to eat anymore for fear of making others dislike him.

After dinner, when Li Qingyou went to feed the pigs, she heard Zhao Xiaoshan talking to his brother, "I don't know why I attracted so many rats at my master's house last night. They knocked down a cabinet that my master had packed before.

, my master has been scolding me all morning..."

"Then you still have time?" Li Qingyou put down the spoon for mixing the pig food and turned back to look at Zhao Xiaoshan.

According to what he said before, most of his master's work was left to him. How could he still be here after such a big mistake?

"Oh, my master was very angry. As a result, he drank too much and forgot about the cabinet. He forgot..." Zhao Xiaoshan lowered his head and said calmly. In fact, he didn't tell the truth. The master was drunk.

I had previously asked him to repair the cabinet again.

But he still ran out secretly.

Sister Li's sister thought so highly of him that she even gave him money to buy medicine for his mother. He couldn't let her down.

"Your master is really..." Li Qingyou wanted to say that his master was an alcoholic, but thinking that this child was very protective of his master, he changed his words and said, "He quite likes drinking."

Zhao Xiaoshan nodded seriously, "Well, the master drinks every meal every day. He said that if you don't drink, your hanging thread will be crooked..."

Li Qingyou chuckled. She felt that Zhang Carpenter's hanging thread became more crooked after drinking.

The two of them were chatting about Carpenter Zhang, but no one noticed Adi's silence. He lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. At this time, he was no longer a cute little puppy, but a cunning little fox.

In the dead of night, Adi, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at Li Qingyou who was sleeping soundly next to her, she quietly lifted the quilt and went to the floor, changed her clothes and went to the kitchen. She took out the cereal cakes left over from the night, tiptoed out of the house and went straight to South Street.

At the gate of Carpenter Zhang's house, the crumbs of cereal cakes were scattered all over the floor. Looking at the mice swarming around, Adi's mouth curved up, and he pushed hard towards the cabinet where he had put it through the courtyard wall.

Lost a handful.

Seeing the rats rushing over and patting the residue on his hands, Adi stood up, turned around, and disappeared into the night...

Then the next day, when Li Qingyou was cooking in the morning, he found that there were a few grain pastries missing.

"Maybe my sister has a bad memory?" Adi frowned and said as if he didn't care, but he secretly glanced in the direction of Li Qingyou from the corner of his eye.

Li Qingyou firmly denied, "It's impossible, I clearly counted them last night."

Science students are the most sensitive to numbers, and it is impossible for her to remember them wrong.

"Then...could it be that it was eaten by rats?" Adi tried his best to hide his guilty conscience and did not forget to give an example, "Didn't the painting also get eaten by rats when it was hung on the wall that day?"

This makes sense. Li Qingyou touched her chin and wondered if it was time to buy some rat medicine tomorrow?

But I was afraid of being accidentally eaten by the chickens at home, so it would be better to catch a cat and bring it back.

My brother thought that he could not get any more cereal cakes tonight. There were soybeans and other grains at home. These are from the same origin as the cereal cakes, and they are probably also loved by rats.

Ok, deal.
