Chapter 4, Lullaby
Before I knew it, an afternoon had passed, and no more guests had come to the door after getting rid of Wang Gongzi, and the business was bad.
In the evening, the red glow reflects the sky, the birds return to their nests, and there is the creaking sound of insects in the corners of the walls. The streets were also empty, with the occasional sporadic pedestrian walking silently.
"Gongzi Zhang, it's time to eat!" Li Qingya's gentle voice came from the inner courtyard.
Zhang Mingxuan, who had nothing to do, perked up and said happily: "Here!" trotted towards the inner courtyard.
Before he had run two steps, Li Qingya's voice came out again: "Close the door of the store! ”
Zhang Mingxuan immediately stopped, turned around and ran back, came to the door and closed the door, inserted it from the inside, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. Zhang Mingxuan had to carefully grope his way towards the backyard, a table had been set up in the small courtyard at this time, on which were placed two bowls of rice and a few plates of side dishes, Li Qingya was sitting on the side with the baby, and the baby was babbling in an incomprehensible language.
Zhang Mingxuan sat down opposite Li Qingya and asked suspiciously, "Is it just the two of us?"
Li Qingya's smiling face suddenly froze, and she bowed her head and was silent.
Zhang Mingxuan immediately knew that he might have said the wrong thing! Immediately laughed, picked up the bowl and took a bite of rice into his mouth, squirmed and said, "Resignation, resignation!"
Li Qingya listened to his strange pronunciation, ridiculous appearance, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and then said lightly: "You will also know in the future, my father and husband have passed away due to an accident, and my orphan and widow run the bookstore left by my husband, barely making ends meet." ”
Zhang Mingxuan nodded, and didn't answer at all, obviously this is her sad past, it's better not to mention it, don't lose the job you finally found because of too much talk. The two were silent for a while, Zhang Mingxuan quickly picked up the food in his mouth, and Li Qingya chewed slowly and gracefully, while taking care of the child.
After a while, Zhang Mingxuan's bowl had finished eating, and he burped with satisfaction. looked at Li Qingya and said, "Sister Qingya, I'll help you hold the child!
Li Qingya looked at Zhang Mingxuan suspiciously, Zhang Mingxuan patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry! ”
Zhang Mingxuan stretched out his hand in front of Li Qingya, looking at Li Qingya with sincere eyes, Li Qingya hesitated for a moment and put the baby in his arms into the crook of Zhang Mingxuan's arm and instructed: "Be careful!"
Zhang Mingxuan promised: "Don't worry!"
As soon as the baby arrived in Zhang Mingxuan's arms, he cried. Zhang Mingxuan immediately twisted and shook and said: "The baby is good, the baby is good, the baby is not crying, I'll sing you a song!"
Zhang Mingxuan cleared his throat and sang: "Little baby go to sleep quickly, I will accompany you in your dreams, laugh with you and accompany you to be tired, I will snuggle up to each other, little baby sleep quickly, you will dream of me a few times, I am the most beautiful in my dream, I am also comforted when I wake up, the flowers follow the flowing water, the sun hugs the spring return, the powder face is smiling slightly, the corners of the mouth are lovesick tears, the birds wander in the mountains, and the colorful glow is accompanied by double flying ......"
Don't say it, Zhang Mingxuan sings well. When the song sounded, the baby stopped crying after a while, and looked at Zhang Mingxuan with big eyes, and when Zhang Mingxuan finished singing, the baby even let out a giggle laugh. Li Qingya next to her was worried at first, especially when the child was crying, and she almost wanted to get the child back. But when Zhang Mingxuan's singing sounded, the child stopped crying, and finally burst into laughter.
Li Qingya looked at Zhang Mingxuan in surprise and asked, "This... Why haven't I heard this little key?"
Zhang Mingxuan's eyes rolled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I don't take care of the children at home? This is what I made up when I took care of the children." Zhang Mingxuan was very cheeky and took the lullaby as his own.
Li Qingya nodded and said, "Can you teach me?" ”
Zhang Mingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's very simple, it's called lullaby, I'll sing it a few times and you can listen to it." ”
Zhang Mingxuan began to hold Yaya and twist and sing, Yaya giggled in response, Li Qingya ate slowly, and looked at the two of them with a knowing smile on the corner of their mouths.
After a while, Li Qingya also finished eating, began to clean up the dishes, put all the dishes into the wooden basin, moved to the well and began to draw water.
Zhang Mingxuan hurriedly said: "Sister Qingya, you hold Yaya, or I'll fetch water!"
Li Qingya shook her head and said, "It's better for me to come!"
The next moment, Zhang Mingxuan knew what Li Qingya meant, and a bucket full of water was quickly lifted up very easily, Zhang Mingxuan was speechless for a moment, and could only sigh secretly in his heart: "It's really worthy of being a mythical world! ”
While Li Qingya was washing the dishes, Zhang Mingxuan asked, "Sister Qingya, do you know how to write?"
"Some. ”
Zhang Mingxuan said happily: "Great, Sister Qingya, I plan to write a novel and sell it in the bookstore, do you think it's okay?"
Li Qingya didn't raise her head and said: "Novels, notebooks, novels, are they legends." ”
Zhang Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, the legend of the notebook novel? Probably yes! Zhang Mingxuan said uncertainly: "It should be!"
"Legendary books are also available in bookstores, but they don't sell well. ”
"Can you tell me more about that?"
"Mr. Caotang's Study Road" is about Mr. Caotang's study since he was a child, which shows the warmth and warmth of people, the demeanor of the college, and the hardships of studying all the way, which is very inspirational. "The Travels of the Daojun" tells the story of a monk who has achieved the Tao and walks the world, subduing demons and eliminating demons along the way, exorcising evil spirits and eliminating delusions. "Stories on the Ancient Battlefield" tells the story of a great Confucian who entered the ancient battlefield and saw dry bones everywhere and obsessed with unjust souls, and finally the great Confucian completed the obsession of unjust souls and purified the battlefield. "Hero Gu Nantian" is a story about a generation of heroes Gu Nantian, who crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, killed thieves, and eliminated corrupt officials. This is the best selling saga in recent times. ”
Zhang Mingxuan secretly said in his heart, what a mess of things! This can still sell well, just pick a best-selling novel on the earth and you can blow them up! I feel like I'm going to be hot! Just when Zhang Mingxuan was thinking, Li Qingya stood up, hooked a strand of hair on his forehead with his jade fingers, and put it behind his ear, at that moment, Zhang Mingxuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated by two beats, and he admitted that he had been provoked. Li Qingya didn't seem to realize how tempting she was at that moment, bent down and stacked the washed dishes together, and walked towards the kitchen.
When Li Qingya walked into the kitchen, Zhang Mingxuan looked down at Yaya and said, "Yaya, I'll be your father!"
Yaya smiled and shouted, "Eighty-eight, eighty-eight." ”
Zhang Mingxuan smiled: "That's good!"
