Chapter 47
"Tell me, what good things have you done?" Li Qingyou had a sullen face. She had been thinking about this matter all afternoon, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She thought of the few cereal dumplings she had lost two days ago, and of her brother's inexplicably sprained foot last night. Perhaps Zhang Carpenter's statement that he saw that person with his own eyes was not unfounded?
She even remembered the day when Feng Wenru's painting was damaged by a mouse. The Eight Immortals table under the painting seemed to be a little suspicious in the morning, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now that she thinks about it, it might be the same.
Is it related to Adi?
Adi felt something in his heart, and tightened his hands behind his back. What was Sister Qingyou referring to?
"What sister is talking about, I don't understand." Adi pouted his mouth aggrievedly and looked at Li Qingyou, his big eyes filled with mist, as if he would shed tears at any time.
Li Qingyou's aggrieved and hurt eyes made her feel full of guilt. Looking at the fair and well-behaved child in front of her, maybe she had been wronged?
But those doubts still lingered in her heart. She suppressed her softness and looked away, "Why are you pretending? Where were you last night?"
It turned out to be this.
Adi breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He would never admit it anyway. In the eyes of Sister Qingyou, he has always been a well-behaved and sensible child. He didn't want to see her disappointed eyes.
As for Zhang Carpenter, he deserves it, and everyone who bullies sister Qingyou deserves to die.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Li Qingyou suddenly felt a little unsure. Could it be that he really did it?
He slammed the table hard and said, "Say."
Adi was startled, pouted and lowered his head with an aggrieved look on his face, "Adi was sleeping next to my sister last night. Didn't my sister know that?"
Li Qingyou thought about it, but that was the case.
Adi is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing Li Qingyou's expression slightly relaxed, he immediately rushed over and hugged her waist, burying his head on her shoulder and rubbing her, "Sister doesn't believe Adi."
Li Qingyou was filled with guilt. She raised her hand and gently rubbed Adi's furry head, and her voice softened, "Sister does not believe Adi, but Adi must remember that you are not allowed to lie to Sister, you know?"
Adi's body froze, but he quickly nodded vigorously, with a guilty conscience in his voice, "I understand."
Li Qingyou thought he had been wronged, and felt extremely distressed, so she didn't think about it any more, not to mention that Adi quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a song suddenly spread on the street: Zhao Xiaoshan, a filial son, has trouble repaying his teacher's debt. He has a sick and old mother at home, and good people are merciful.
While pressing the mold on the tofu, Li Qingyou looked at Adi next to him with a smile, "The compilation was pretty smooth, well done."
This idea was come up by Adi, "Everyone in the world strives for a good reputation, and the richer they are, the more so. Outsiders of the family that made the mahogany cabinets call him Zhang Dashan. With such a good reputation, he will not embarrass Zhao Xiaoshan too much."
"
Speaking of which, Zhao Xiaoshan's incident was also caused by him. Sister Qingyou was so concerned about her, so naturally he would do his best to help.
Yesterday, he went out to find a few children and taught them songs to sing. He especially wanted to sing at the door of Zhang Dashan's house. As long as the songs reached Zhang Dashan's ears, they would have won half the battle.
"I will go with Zhao Xiaoshan later and invite a few people to sing ballads in front of Zhang's house. Mr. Zhang Dashan will definitely not embarrass him." Adi said confidently.
Li Qingyou tapped the tip of his nose and said, "Little clever guy, you are the only one with more clever ideas."
Not long after, Zhao Xiaoshan came. Li Qingyou asked him to bring a plate of tofu, met his embarrassed eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this plate of tofu is for you. Your calligraphy is very good, this is for you."
award."
This kid has a lot of energy, but sometimes he looks quite cute. Li Qingyou raised her hand to rub his head, but Adi hugged her arm next to her, "Adi also wants a reward."
He wouldn't let Sister Qingyou touch other people's heads.
"Okay, I'll give you a reward too. I'll buy you osmanthus candies later." Li Qingyou pinched the tip of his nose and told Zhao Xiaoshan not to be afraid, "Brother, I'll go with you, and there are a few kids."
Boy, there are so many of you, Zhang Dashan shouldn’t be able to do anything bad.”
After saying that, I turned around to uncover the mold on the tofu. I was stunned when I saw the words on it.
"Sister Li, are you going?" Zhao Xiaoshan looked at Li Qingyou anxiously, wanting her to go but fearing her to go. He was confident that she would go, but he was also afraid of being embarrassed in front of her, and he was very torn.
"Ah?" Li Qingyou came back to her senses, thought for a while and shook her head, "I won't go."
Her reputation is really not that good, and it will be troublesome if she fails again.
Zhao Xiaoshan said, he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved, and then he heard Li Qingyou ask him what the words on it were about?
Originally, she planned to engrave the word "Zhen" on the mold, which is consistent with the word "Zhenyao Tofu", but now the words on it have changed to: "Happiness, Wealth, Fortune, Luxury, Longevity", one word on each piece of tofu.
Zhao Xiaoshan looked confused and turned to his brother.
Li Qingyou understood, "Brother, did you make him feel like this?"
Adi admitted frankly this time, "I think these words have a better meaning. My sister is not a monster in the first place, why should she be suppressed?"
He felt very unhappy when he mentioned this matter. Fortunately, the sour scholar was still a scholar. He kept saying that he wanted to repay his sister for saving her life. Is this how he repaid her?
I don’t know how to persuade my sister to order it.
Zhao Xiaoshan didn't know what happened at first. He couldn't read, so his brother asked him to carve the words on the ground into a mold, so he did so.
It wasn't until this moment that I understood the reason, and I immediately stood on the same side as Adi, "I, I also think that Adi is right."
"What sister? My name is Adi." Adi glared at him, and Zhao Xiaoshan was so frightened that he quickly changed his words.
Li Qingyou thought about it and found it quite good, so she didn't say anything more and sent the two of them out quickly, "Remember not to be stubborn, say more nice things, don't reach out to hit the smiling person, it's okay to smile more."
The two agreed and pushed the tofu in a wheelbarrow and went out.
Li Qingyou looked at the backs of the two of them. While she was worried about them, she was also thinking about her "new variety of tofu". She was also a little unsure about the price increase.
The results soon proved that Li Qingyou's worries were right.
Although the engravings on tofu are quite unusual and have good meanings, the people living around them are generally ordinary people who are willing to spend half of every penny. For them to spend an extra penny to buy tofu is like killing them.
"It doesn't make any difference if there are words or not. If you eat it, it will turn into feces in your stomach?" A woman started to laugh, and then everyone agreed.
"That's right, your tofu doesn't taste meaty, so why should the price increase?"
