Chapter 233
"What is a school?" Hu Zi asked with his eyes wide open. His father was not at home on weekdays. He learned how to chop firewood, make a fire, cook and wash clothes at a young age, and there were very few friends of the same age around him. He didn't even have the word "school" heard about it.

"A school is a place where you can learn new knowledge and change your destiny. If you study hard, you may never have to live like this again, understand?" Qin Mengyao said carefully, Hu The son also listened carefully.

Huzi nodded, a pair of big watery eyes flickered with light, "Well, I see, then, if I go to the school, will my mother come back?"

Following these words, the atmosphere in the store suddenly became silent.

"Hehe, this kid, he's so happy, he's talking nonsense!" Li Da smiled awkwardly, trying to break the deadlock.

"I'm not talking nonsense, grandma said that mother ran away because she thought you were worthless, grandma also said..." Hu Zi stuck his neck, his nose was red with acid.

"Shut up!" Li Da frowned like a tiger whose tail had been plucked.

Qin Mengyao was so frightened that he pulled the tiger into his arms, for fear that Li Da would become angry and beat the child.Huzi didn't know whether it was wronged or sad, tears fell down in clusters.

"Uncle Li, let's talk slowly when we have something to say, don't get angry, besides he is still a child, don't get angry if he doesn't care about what he says," You Ziqi deliberately eased the atmosphere, but obviously in this situation, no matter what he said, It seems a little awkward.

Qin Mengyao stroked Huzi's head, and suddenly remembered the person hiding behind the screen. He had to find something to set off the atmosphere, and that person seemed to happen to have this kind of temperament.

"Huzi, my sister has something nice for you, go look for it behind here," Qin Mengyao whispered to Huzi, and pushed Huzi to the screen behind him.

You Ziqi's face turned pale all of a sudden, he coughed again and again, picked up the teacup to pretend to drink water, but accidentally dropped the teacup on the ground.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll just clean it up," You Ziqi got up, pushed Li Da to sit in his original position, smiled unnaturally and walked behind the screen.Hu Zi heard the sound of the teacup being broken, and just stopped at the corner of the screen, looking in Li Da's direction.

"Huzi, where are you going?" You Ziqi stopped beside Huzi, half of his face stretched out to the other side of the screen, and he kept winking at Xiao Qian, but the space behind the screen was small, Xiao Qian Even if you want to hide, there is nowhere to hide.

"My sister said there is something good behind here, let me go and have a look." Huzi told the truth, after You Ziqi heard it, he looked at Qin Mengyao speechlessly, what did she mean?It's not like she didn't know that behind the screen was just an ultra-small single bed and some odds and ends.

Xiao Qian looked at You Ziqi speechlessly and helplessly. It was obvious that he had already discovered him. If he didn't go out again, it would seem that he had done something shameful...

Suddenly there was the sound of shuffling shoes from behind the screen, and soon a man with a slightly messy coat appeared in front of the crowd, and he was obviously taken aback when he saw the expressions of the crowd, "Oh, so there are guests here, so I'll go back and sleep for a while. Will it..." After finishing speaking, he stretched long, yawned, then turned and walked back.

"Mr. Xiao, don't sleep. If you sleep again, be careful to grow sleepy bugs." After Qin Mengyao finished speaking, he giggled, "I said why are you so nervous, the shopkeeper? It turns out that you are the treasure of the golden house, don't hide it. It's on, quickly pull it out and let us all take a look!"

You Ziqi cast a blank stare at Qin Mengyao, "It's just this shabby house, and it's not bad to hide garbage!"

"Haha, it turns out that the shopkeeper has always treated Mr. Xiao as rubbish, shopkeeper, you have really good eyes!" Qin Mengyao laughed, which made Li Da laugh too.

"Damn it, you're trash, your whole family is trash!" Xiao Qian couldn't hold back and ran out from behind the screen. Originally he was said to be a treasure in the golden house, but it was good enough anyway, but when You Ziqi said it, what did he say? The taste has completely changed.

Xiao Qian flicked the long lapel of the red dress, and pointed at You Ziqi with his slender fingers, "You white-eyed wolf, it was my young master who saved you just now, or you would have closed the shop early, if it wasn't for me, those who took The swordsman rushed in a long time ago, instead of thanking me, you still said that I am rubbish, you ungrateful thing, I, I, I will break up with you!"

Originally, Xiao Qian's figure was very good, and it is not an exaggeration to call it enchanting, especially today he is wearing a big red gown, which makes him even more swaying, especially when he has one hand on his hip and one hand is touching You Ziqi. Absolutely nothing!As a woman, Qin Mengyao couldn't help being secretly jealous.

"If you break the relationship, you break it. You think I'm afraid of you!" You Ziqi waved his hands repeatedly, and he didn't even mean to keep him. This guy asked Qin Mengyao when he would come back every day, thinking about how to play tricks on Qin Mengyao all day long. Well, the point is that he still regards himself as an ally and insists on giving him advice. If it wasn't for destroying his plan, You Ziqi would not want to join forces with this guy.

Xiao Qian glanced at You Ziqi silently, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Are you not afraid that I will tell this woman what you said?"

You Ziqi was taken aback, what he said was really inexplicable, he seemed to have never mentioned Qin Mengyao in front of him, what is there to say?

But with this dazed effort, Xiao Qian smiled sinisterly, this guy is actually not as shrewd as he looks, one sentence scares him.

Qin Mengyao was so close that she could hear Xiao Qian's words clearly. She patted the empty chair beside her, and greeted Xiao Qian with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, it looks like you haven't woken up yet. , I'm really sorry to interrupt your rest, but since we've met, let's talk together, let me introduce you, this is my savior, Uncle Li, there is someone with a knife on the street today, really It's terrible, if it wasn't for Uncle Li to save me, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

"Uncle Li, this is Third Master Xiao, the younger brother of the shopkeeper of Yunyifang across the street." After Qin Mengyao finished speaking, Xiao Qian glanced at her quietly, if it wasn't because his family's dog had a slightly higher status than him , he will not become the third master, he should be the dignified second master!The point is that after Qin Mengyao found out about this, she evilly called Xiao Qian the third master Xiao every time, which made him extremely upset.

Xiao Qian greeted Li Da enthusiastically, his demeanor was simply that of a typical modest and gentle gentleman, but only Qin Mengyao knew what a wonderful soul was hidden under this beautiful skin.

Obviously Xiao Qian's appearance completely broke the unhappiness just now, and Huzi sat quietly aside with a piece of brown candy.

Li Da hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to talk about the topic Huzi brought up just now.

In fact, Huzi's mother left when Huzi was only two years old.At that time, Li Da drank all day long and had nothing to do. The family mainly relied on Huzi's mother to do some needlework to make ends meet.After she had a tiger child, the mother of the tiger child still did needlework all day long. During the confinement period, her eyes were blurred and she couldn't see clearly.

Since then, the family has lost their source of income. Li Da had no money to buy wine, so he tried to exchange it for wine, until one day, he secretly took a jade ring handed down from Hu Ziniang's ancestors to a pawn shop for money.

Hu Ziniang seemed crazy and insisted on Li Da redeeming the ring finger, but Li Da signed a dead pawn, and the money had already been spent. The weather is still difficult, and Hu Ziniang has been a different person since then. She took Hu Zi to her mother's house for two months.Two months later, Li Da's brother-in-law sent Hu Zi back and forced Li Da to write a letter of reconciliation. Since then, Hu Ziniang has never returned.

Huzi sat crying in his bare house, and Li Da realized what he had done. He started looking for work everywhere, and was finally assigned to carry flour.The conditions at home gradually improved, but when he wanted to take Hu Ziniang home again, Hu Ziniang had already remarried. This incident hit him like a thunderbolt. After that, he Working hard all day, being both a father and a mother by myself, I finally dragged the tiger to the present.

So whenever Huzi mentions his mother, he can't help feeling sad and angry...

After Li Da finished speaking, he looked at You Ziqi and asked weakly, "Shopkeeper, you know that I am such a person, do you still plan to keep me in the shop?"

You Ziqi blinked and turned his head to Qin Mengyao.

"Are you still drinking?" Qin Mengyao applauded Hu Ziniang's actions in his heart, but on the other hand he felt sorry for Li Da. He did do something wrong, but he has already been punished.

"No more," Li Da replied without hesitation.

"Then do you gamble or not?"

"No gambling. Except for today, I want to give Huzi a taste of grapes, so I made a pounce once."

"In this case, why should we dwell on the past? You are no longer the Uncle Li of the past. We believe in you." Qin Mengyao nodded and turned to look at Hu Zi. Sometimes it is only the parents' fault, and finally punished But it will fall on the children. They can't get the father's love and mother's love they deserve, and they have to bear the white eyes and prejudice given to them by the outside world from time to time.

Li Da turned his head away and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. This was the first time that when others knew the truth, he didn't look at him with blank eyes. Because of this, he wanted to work harder to become a better person.

"Uncle Li, we are all mortals. As mortals, we will make mistakes sometimes, but knowing our mistakes can make a big difference. I don't think everyone can always do the right thing. No one is perfect, but if we can learn from mistakes Learn from experience and make corrections. Those mistakes will not prevent us from becoming a good person, but will become the driving force for us to move forward. What's more, you are no longer what you used to be. You have experienced so much, and you have not been frustrated. Down, you are the hero in our hearts." Qin Mengyao finished speaking emotionally, Li Da, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally collapsed, he turned around, covered his eyes with his sleeve, a big man cried and shrugged his shoulders ,like a child.

You Ziqi looked at her thoughtfully. He had so much to say to her, but he was afraid that one day he would return to that period of indifference. He thought that the relationship between the two would be broken, but when he saw her With a smiling face, he still held back those thoughts that were about to come out, and chose to forget the unhappiness and start over.

Sending off Li Da and his son, Qin Mengyao was stunned on the chair again, Xiao Qian looked left and right, extremely bored, Qin Mengyao suddenly leaned in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, What do you mean then?"

"What? No, wait a minute, how many times have I told you that if you call me a girl again, I will break up with you!" Xiao Qian's face was dark, since he was almost eaten by someone when he disguised himself as a woman last time. After eating tofu, Qin Mengyao decided on the title of Niu'er, and she would not change it no matter what!
"Don't make trouble, girl, I'm telling you something serious." Qin Mengyao smiled narrowly, and squeezed his eyes in You Ziqi's direction, "Tell me honestly, what did that guy tell you, what did you just say?" Didn't you mean to tell sister, come on, sister listen carefully."

"Well, you go and ask him yourself," Xiao Qian blinked, since Lang is affectionate, he always wants to create some opportunities for the ruthless concubine to create ambiguity...

Qin Mengyao narrowed his eyes, with a smile that was not a smile, "Since you are not willing to cooperate, then I can't help it. Anyway, I have to go to Yunyifang later. I will discuss with Brother Xiao about the model... "

"Are you threatening me again?"

"What do you think?"

"Fuck you! What reward do I get?"

Qin Mengyao smiled coldly, "How much is your secret worth? Is it enough to keep it secret for you?"

"Hmph, I'm telling you, I'm not afraid, my brother, at worst, I'll be beaten up by my brother!" Xiao Qian was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and he was always threatened by her anyway, so he went all out.

"It's up to you, it's not my monthly payment anyway. Oh yes, you can also make money as a model, which is a good job."

"Don't be like this, let's talk about it, it's not a big deal anyway," Xiao Qian softened after hearing it, and posted it in a whisper, which made Qin Mengyao get goosebumps, "Actually, it's not a big deal, Even when I saw the man slashing out with a knife just now, I also saw you."

Qin Mengyao's face was full of black lines, he actually refused to save her, causing her to run so hard all the way!
"At first I rushed in to remind everyone, but I didn't expect to see him... um, Brother You, you're here," Xiao Qian smiled shyly. Qin Mengyao turned around when he heard the words, but when he turned his head, Xiao Qian After doing a coherent bounce run, he rushed directly to the door and disappeared.

"What are you talking about, this kid is so frightened as if he saw a ghost."

"Of course it's because I met you!" Qin Mengyao looked You Ziqi up and down, it's really hard to imagine what he did to make Xiao Qian forget about saving people.

"Let's have dinner together tonight, I'll treat you," You Ziqi had long been used to Qin Mengyao's word games, so he just smiled.

"Hey, Shopkeeper You, you don't have a fever, why are you asking me all of a sudden?"

"Of course it's to celebrate the emergence of your underground boss. Do you think it's easy for me to be your shopkeeper? You've been beaten and chopped off. It's time to have a good meal and celebrate."

You Ziqi looked at Qin Mengyao pitifully, it's not easy to invite someone to dinner these days...

But this time Qin Mengyao readily agreed, the facts that have happened in the past few days are really unacceptable, and she urgently needs to drink two cups of bitter water.
