Phi-Fic Chapter 256 The Girl Blushes
Chapter 256 The Girl Blushes
Ye Dingzhi stopped what he was doing, turned around and said with a hint of embarrassment:
"Your elder sister..."
Ye Xiaofan sat cross-legged and straight, looking up and smiling:
"What happened to my sister? Didn't you praise her as a beauty before?"
"It's settled. Ye Dingzhi, hurry up and save up some betrothal gifts. It's time for me to go to private school!"
As he said that, Ye Xiaofan stood up, carefully wrapped his wooden sword with rags, put it on his back, and prepared to go to the private school.
After turning around and taking a few steps, he turned back as if he remembered something:
"Ye Dingzhi, don't bring anything too expensive. My sister doesn't have much dowry. Remember to come before the New Year!"
Ye Dingzhi was a little confused for a moment: "Why does it have to be before the Chinese New Year?"
Ye Xiaofan scratched his head and said with a clever smile:
"Because then I can have two good meals!"
After saying that, Ye Xiaofan left Ye Dingzhi beside the tombstone and skipped towards the village.
Although Ye Xiaofan is only in his early ten years old, he is still a child.
However, Ye Dingzhi felt a little shy after hearing what he just said. After all, he had lived in Sanqipu for a period of time and had contact with his elder sister Shen Qiqi.
In his eyes, Shen Qiqi was a very good girl, kind and gentle, thrifty and housekeeping-friendly. Most importantly, even when facing thieves and bandits, she did not back down, but decisively stood behind Ye Xiaofan and her parents!
Of course, the final result was that Ye Dingzhi took action and took care of this group of thieves in just a few moves.
Otherwise, Miss Shen Qiqi would be in trouble.
It was because of this incident that Ye Dingzhi admired this girl from the bottom of his heart from the very beginning.
Even though she is not as beautiful as Yi Wenjun, and even though she is just a little girl from an ordinary mountain village on the border of Yunzhou, these do not affect her at all. Shen Qiqi is definitely a good girl!
"If I had been seriously injured, she would have shielded me from behind, right?"
Ye Dingzhi thought so, then picked up the chisel and continued the work in his hands.
Amidst the flying stone chips, a figure gradually emerged from behind Ye Dingzhi, holding what seemed to be a bamboo basket in his hand.
Ye Dingzhi clearly heard the footsteps, light and firm.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Shen Qiqi almost in front of him.
"You must be hungry... I saw you carrying this slab out early in the morning and didn't have breakfast, so I made some food."
"It's almost noon, and I thought you'd be hungry, so I brought it to you."
As Shen Qiqi spoke, she removed the towel covering the bamboo basket in her hand, and the aroma of taro and red beans entered Ye Dingzhi's nostrils.
"It smells so good!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Qiqi. Did you steam the taro today?"
Ye Dingzhi responded with a grateful smile, threw down the iron chisel and walked over.
Ye Dingzhi pulled out a few banana leaves and placed them under the banyan tree, and the two of them sat facing each other.
However, Shen Qiqi kept kneeling and carefully placed the food in the bamboo basket in front of Ye Dingzhi.
Fragrant taro braised pork belly, crispy and refreshing stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, red bean rice with blooming grains, and even a pot of chicken soup with golden butter floating on it...
It would be foolish to say that he was not hungry. After all, Ye Dingzhi went to the stone workshop in the town early in the morning to buy a tombstone.
He carried it all the way back to the village from the town and placed it under the big banyan tree, carving the words on it for two or three hours.
Although the food on the banana leaves was plain, in Ye Dingzhi's eyes it was comparable to delicacies that were worth a fortune.
"Why are you standing there? Are you starving? Eat quickly!"
"I really should thank you very much for leaving us so much money last time!"
"Dad's legs were treated with medicine from a doctor, and now he can walk again... My brother can go to private school without any worries..."
As Shen Qiqi spoke, she handed the bamboo chopsticks to Ye Dingzhi and pushed the taro braised pork and red bean rice in front of him.
Ye Dingzhi was not polite either. He picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a bowl of red bean rice and started eating.
There were still crystal beads of sweat hanging on Shen Qiqi's hair. When she saw Ye Dingzhi wolfing down the food, her face flushed a few times, and then she lowered her head and smiled.
"Qiqi, the taro smells so good! Hey? Why don't you eat it?"
Ye Dingzhi took a moment to speak and looked at Shen Qiqi who had been keeping her head down and silent, and asked.
"I've already eaten at home, don't worry about me..."
Shen Qiqi's voice was very low, which made Ye Dingzhi a little strange.
"Qiqi, why do you keep your head down?"
Ye Dingzhi picked up a piece of taro from the boss and stuffed it into his mouth, then asked vaguely.
Shen Qiqi was suddenly asked by him, and before she could react, she raised her head and said:
"fine……"
But she didn't know that her whole face was bright red, and Ye Dingzhi saw it all.
There are not many truths in this world. A girl's blush is better than a long dialogue.
When Shen Qiqi saw Ye Dingzhi staring at her, she immediately realized that she had lost her composure, lowered her head, stood up and ran away.
She pinched the edge of her skirt and it took her a long time to recover.
Ye Dingzhi had to admit that Shen Qiqi was a pretty and smart girl, and anyone who saw her would say so.
But now his heart is filled with Yi Wenjun, leaving no room to accept a new person!
"Qiqi, I'm done! Also, the taro braised pork belly you made is really delicious, and tastes exactly the same as the first time I ate it."
Ye Dingzhi put down his bowl and chopsticks, grabbed the chisel and prepared to complete the three words "Jun Zhi Mu".
Shen Qiqi then turned around and quickly put the dishes and chopsticks on the banana leaves into the bamboo basket.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The tombstone was stirred up by clouds of dust, and through the dust Shen Qiqi secretly glanced at Ye Dingzhi's face.
Apart from the hint of sadness between his brows, he looked no different from the first time I saw him. He was still as pleasing and rare as ever.
After all, in a remote mountain village like Sanqipu, it is rare to see a man with regular facial features.
Shen Qiqi finished tidying up and said softly:
"Go back early! It's cold here. Don't catch a cold if the mountain wind picks up later this afternoon!"
Ye Dingzhi raised his head and smiled slightly: "Okay!"
The blush on Shen Qiqi's face finally faded away, and she fled from the big banyan tree with the bamboo basket in her hand.
Ye Dingzhi looked at Shen Qiqi's receding back, feeling a little melancholy. He shook his sore wrist, then took a deep breath and blew away the stone chips and dust on the tombstone.
"The tomb of my late wife Yi Wenjun."
Ye Dingzhi stared blankly at the large, unstructured characters on the tombstone, his eyes reddening.
"Wenjun, I will definitely avenge you!"
