Chapter 223: Elm Pimples
Of course, it was the best thing for Gu Feiyan to be Li Huawen's master. As the saying goes, "knowing many skills is always a burden", Li Xiaoxiao agreed on his behalf without even asking Li Huawen's opinion.
There is another reason. Gu Feiyan is not only good at chess, but also better at studying. With such a master, he will avoid many detours if he chooses to pursue a career in politics in the future.
When Si Chengxu found out about this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but he didn't know why.
His face looked very grim for several days in a row, and Si Yi and Si Er were so scared that they were very cautious, fearing that they might accidentally offend him.
"What's wrong with me? It seems nothing has happened recently?" Si Er said with a sad face, leaning against the pillar at the door.
"What can happen to me?" Si Yi replied.
"Can't you tell that I've been in a bad mood these days?" Si Er asked again.
"You go ask." Si Yi continued.
"Why am I asking? I'm just curious and want to tell you. Besides, if I ask, will I definitely tell you?" Si Er rolled his eyes at him.
"I'm glad to know." Si replied expressionlessly.
"How boring. Let me tell you, if you notice that kid Gu Feiyan is being so attentive to a young girl, there must be something bad going on." Si Er, with a gossipy look on his face, approached Si Yi and whispered.
Si glanced at him and ignored him.
Si Er was used to his thriftiness with words, so he didn't care and said to himself, "I think he is probably interested in the little girl. Tsk tsk, I just don't know what the little girl thinks."
"Hey, if the little girl is really interested in Gu Feiyan, what should our master do? Our master likes the little girl. If we let her become our young lady, I think it will be a good idea." Si Er held his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
"And the most important point is that I feel like he may not even know that he likes little girls. He's a blockhead and doesn't even know how to pursue a girl he likes. He has no idea about the relationship between men and women. I guess he hasn't even read the picture books given to him." At this point, Si Er frowned.
"To be honest, I think Gu Feiyan and the little girl are a good match. They are talented and beautiful, and I'm sure the child they will have in the future will be very beautiful. Hey, where are you going?" Before Si Er finished speaking, he saw Si Yi turn around and leave.
"Go drink some water." Si said without even turning his head.
"Please wait for me." Si Er trotted a few steps to catch up.
After they walked away, Si Chengxu, who was separated from them by a door, fell into deep thought and heard their conversation clearly.
Si Er said he liked Li Xiaoxiao. When did it start and why didn’t he know?
He has been very interested in military books since he was a child and is determined to become a person who can contribute to the country when he grows up.
The young man had never thought about the point of those women. They could only cry and throw tantrums. His parents were more like partners living together than husband and wife. They didn't say a word to each other for days and there was no love between them at all.
Maybe it was influenced by his original family, so he was averse to women in his heart. People of his age already had children, but he was still single and had never thought about finding a woman to marry. But the appearance of Li Xiaoxiao did seem a little different.
When he first met her, she was just an ordinary country girl, and her appearance was very pleasing to his eyes, especially her pair of wise and calm starry eyes, which always exuded a different kind of brilliance.
Those were a pair of eyes that did not belong to a country girl. Later events confirmed his thoughts. He began to doubt her true identity, but later he was relieved. She was Li Dahai's biological daughter. The reason why she had so many eyes might be because of some adventure or something else.
Everyone has their own secrets. If she doesn't tell anyone, she must have her reasons.
After so many days of getting along, he now thinks back that he does have different feelings for Li Xiaoxiao than for others.
Every time I see her, I feel much better and I pay extra attention to her affairs. I always respond to her small requests. The most memorable time was in Jiunei County.
When he heard the news about his aunt, he rushed there as fast as he could. But when he got there, he found that her wasn't there. His grandmother happened to be sick, so he returned to the capital to deal with some important matters. The trip was delayed for a month.
Recalling his feelings at that time, he could really be described as being eager to go home. Perhaps he had fallen in love with Li Xiaoxiao at that time, or perhaps even earlier.
Thinking of this, Si Chengxu's usually calm heart became a little confused. He could march and fight, but he couldn't do this kind of thing. Also, he liked Xiaoxiao, and he wondered if Xiaoxiao would like him the same way.
He thought again of the picture book that Si Er mentioned, which Si Er had secretly stuffed into his hands a few days ago. He read one chapter and couldn't read any further, as if it was under his pillow.
He came to the bed and lifted the pillow. Sure enough, the picture book was still there. Si Chengxu picked up the picture book, sat on the bed, and began to read it seriously. The more he read, the redder his face became. Finally, he couldn't bear to read it anymore, so he closed the book and wanted to throw it away.
He raised his hand, paused in the air for a moment, then retracted it and put it back under the pillow. Ahem, I'll look at it when I have time.
Si Yi stopped only after they had walked far away. He didn't need to look back to know that Si Er was following him.
"Are you sure this will work."
"I am a blockhead. If I don't remind him, I will regret it for the rest of my life when the little girl is snatched away by someone else. Then life will be hard for you and me too. So just wait for the wedding." Si Er said affirmatively.
As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. He has followed Si Chengxu since he was a child and can be said to know Si Chengxu very well. Besides, Li Xiaoxiao is indeed a very nice person.
Of course, he didn't want Si Chengxu to lose this relationship just because he didn't understand his feelings.
Far away in the Li family's old house in Qinghe Village, although Li Chengcai's words about Li Jiaojiao's marriage made sense, Liu still couldn't stand Jiang. She was always angry and quarreled with Jiang for no reason.
After a lot of quarrels, they also split up. After Lanlan left, Old Man Li became increasingly haggard. He was originally in his fifties, but now he looked like a man in his seventies.
A lot of things happened this year. His two sons were separated one after another, and now his two favorite sons are also going to be separated. So let them be separated.
Now the family still has 14 acres of fertile land. Old Man Li means that each family will get 7 acres. He and Old Lady Li are old, so the extra 3 acres can be considered as food expenses for the two families to eat together.
Each family takes turns to provide meals, every ten days. Since the Li family has no house elsewhere, they still live in the same yard and cook separately. Old man Li thinks this is a fair distribution.
