Childhood sweetheart if3
Not only the boy who stretched out his hand, even Gu Shaozhen next to him looked stunned.
Seeing that Lin Qiao had a conflict with the other party, she mustered up her courage and wanted to stand in front of Lin Qiao, but when she raised her leg, Lin Qiao had already fallen down.
This made her feel like she was in a dilemma as to whether to put her feet down or not. She even wondered if she had seen it wrong.
But there is clearly a smaller half-inch one, so I shouldn’t be able to touch it…
The boy who pushed the person was even more confused, and Lin Qiao's crying was so shocking that many people who were leaving get off work or school nearby came over to look.
He subconsciously put his hands behind his back, "Stop being such a scoundrel..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed hard from behind. "How old is she? Are you bullying her?"
The young boy Ji Duo's face was as cold as ice. He never expected that he would see such a scene when he came back from just going to school.
Ji Duo was tall and strong. The boy didn't have time to react before he fell to the ground. Then he opened his mouth and a bloody front tooth fell out. It was the same one that Lin Qiao had hit him with a spinning top just now. The pain made him cry, "I, I didn't touch her at all!"
With him was his brother, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. When they saw him, they immediately surrounded Ji Duo, "What are you doing? Did you hit someone because you saw clearly?"
"He didn't touch it. Could it be that Qiaoqiao fell by herself?" Ji Duo didn't believe it and was not afraid of these teenagers who were not even as tall as him.
Then Gu Shaozhen watched helplessly as Ji Duo chased and beat several people, and beat them all away...
Especially the boy, who was still crying when he ran back, "I'm going to tell my parents, you, you bully me!"
"Next time you dare to bully her, I will beat you again." Ji Duo said coldly, then squatted down to check the little one on the ground, "Qiao Qiao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lin Qiao had stopped crying a long time ago. Hearing this, she sat up and took away the little hands that had been covering her face.
Ji Duo wanted to comfort her, but he was stunned when he saw that the little girl's face was clean, not to mention tears, even her eye circles were not red at all.
This...was she not howling all the time just now?
Ji Duo's emotions were inconsistent. He paused for a long time before lowering his voice, "Are you okay?"
Lin Qiao nodded, and her big eyes blinked twice innocently.
This made Ji Duo's expression even weirder. "Did he hit you just now?"
Lin Qiao didn't say anything, just looked up at him, a little curious about how he would react.
So the two of them looked at each other, and finally Ji Duo picked her up and pressed her little face directly into his arms, "Qiao Qiao, don't be afraid, your brother has beaten you away."
As he spoke, he brushed the dust off her body and raised his voice deliberately, "Let's see who dares to bully you in the future!"
Very good, it turns out that the old cadre was not a very honest person when he was young. Not only did he accept it quickly, he also acted with her.
Lin Qiao smiled, but her little hands tightly wrapped around the boy's neck, and she buried her head in his neck and nodded vigorously as if she was very scared.
Gu Shaozhen witnessed the whole process and could hardly close her mouth.
She didn't expect that what shocked her even more was what happened next: the big one and the small one, one committed fraud and the other hit someone, and then they went back and complained.
As soon as Ji Duo entered the room, he held Lin Qiao and stood at the place where he usually stood as a punishment, with a cold and sour face.
Don't ask. If you ask, someone might come to your house to complain. He punished himself first, but there's no way you can expect him to apologize!
As for Lin Qiao, she kept her arms around his neck and wouldn't come down no matter who tried to coax her. Her cry just now was so shocking that even if you didn't hear it, you could tell by asking around.
There was no other way, Xu Li could only lower her voice and ask Gu Shaozhen if Lin Qiao had been bullied just now.
Gu Shaozhen subconsciously looked at the two people. Ji Duo and Lin Qiao, one with dark eyes and one with bright eyes, were also looking at her.
She tugged at the corner of her clothes, but finally, fearing that the two of them would be punished, she lowered her head and nodded.
After all, if it weren't for her, this would never have happened today.
So not long after, the parents of the boy with the leaky front tooth came to Xu Li and asked her to give them an explanation. Xu Li, a very reasonable person, was very firm in her attitude and asked the other party why they beat a three-year-old child.
Three year old?
The other parent looked suspiciously at Lin Qiao in Ji Duo's arms. The little girl pouted her lips timidly, turned her head and hugged the boy tightly.
One is a well-behaved three-year-old kid, and the other is a naughty brat. When the other parent gets into trouble, he pokes his son on the head with his finger and says, "Look at your incompetence. You have the guts to bully other people's children. If you have the guts, don't go home and cry."
"I really didn't hit her!" The boy felt so wronged, but no one believed him. "If you didn't hit her, why did she cry like that?"
He was scolded all the way back. Thinking about the injuries on his body and his lost front tooth, he couldn't help crying again.
As for Ji Duo, since he had a legitimate reason this time, he didn't even have to stand in punishment.
Xu Li felt sorry for Lin Qiao so she picked her up, patted her, then put her on her lap and peeled chestnuts for her to eat.
The little girl sat there obediently, and even said thank you sweetly when the chestnut kernels were fed into her mouth. She didn't show at all how hard she had pretended to cry just now.
Ji Duo was drinking water from an enamel pot and couldn't help but hum when he saw this.
Lin Qiao raised her head and met his gaze that showed she knew everything but said nothing. After thinking for a moment, she slid down from Xu Li's lap and also picked up a chestnut in her hand.
Seeing her chewing on her baby teeth, Xu Li laughed, "Qiao Qiao, haven't you eaten enough? If not, grandma will peel it for you."
Lin Qiao said nothing as he bit open the chestnut shell with great effort, then used his little finger to pick out the red coating on top.
After Xu Li fed her several more times and stopped feeding her for fear that it would affect her lunch, she finally peeled it off and ran to find Ji Duo with it.
Xu Li looked over and saw the little girl had already spread out her hands in front of the boy, "Give it to brother."
"It turned out to be peeled for the second son." She couldn't help but smile and look at her son.
Ji Duo felt a little uncomfortable at the time, and when he took a look at the chestnut kernels in Lin Qiao's hand, he was even more disgusted, "Are you chewing these with your mouth?"
Lin Qiao peeled it into too many pieces, and the surface was uneven, with pieces missing here and there.
But she was weak now, and her fingers were not flexible enough, so she could only peel it like this. Lin Qiao took it back and looked at it. She felt that it was a bit embarrassing. She was thinking about eating it herself, but the boy reached out and took the chestnut kernel from her hand, "Just this once."
This was the only time something fishy happened. The next day, Lin Qiao brought the candied haws that her grandfather had bought and asked him to help her taste them. His face remained cold the whole time, but he finally took a bite.
However, because of this crying, Lin Qiao was really nicknamed "the scoundrel" by those naughty kids.
Originally, she lived in Ji's house and only played with Ji Duo and his friends. Now many people knew about it and also knew that she was Ji Duo's child bride.
Lin Qiao didn’t know what was going on with Ji Duo, but he estimated that anyone who dared to tell Ji Duo about it would be beaten.
As for her, when Ji Duo went to school, she would usually play with Gu Shaozhen, and she had run into the group of kids that day several times.
The children may not understand what a child bride is, but that doesn't stop them from using it to make fun of Lin Qiao. Especially the boy that day, who was so careless that he kept calling her a child bride and a smuggler.
Lin Qiao thought that he might not have been beaten enough and didn't learn his lesson.
This time she didn't even wait for the other person to rush over. She ran over and laid down on the ground when the time was right. "Brother Ji Duo hit me again!"
Really, no matter how naughty these kids were, they probably never thought that she would come to their house to commit fraud.
As expected, they were beaten up badly by Ji Duo again...
When they met for the third time on a narrow road, before the other party even opened his mouth, Lin Qiao made a move to rush over, and the naughty kids immediately scattered.
Gu Shaozhen was completely stunned. She had always avoided them in the past, but now she had never seen them avoiding others.
Seeing the little girl's eyes widen, Lin Qiao deliberately put on a stern face, "If the child is disobedient, just spank him once. If one spanking doesn't work, then spank him twice."
She probably doesn't know how cute she looks when she says this. Speaking of children, who can be more childish than her?
Gu Shaozhen couldn't help but smiled, but then she became a little worried, "Will you cause trouble for Brother Ji Duo by doing this?"
Sometimes she is just too sensible, timid and self-deprecating, so she won't say anything when she is wronged.
But when it comes to being wronged, the more you swallow your anger, the more people will think you are a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch. On the contrary, you are a thorny thing that can prick your hands, and no one wants to be pricked again and again.
Lin Qiao said shamelessly: "But if I were bullied, Brother Ji Duo would also feel bad."
This was an angle that Gu Shaozhen had never thought of, and he was obviously stunned when he heard it.
Lin Qiao raised her little finger and said, "Not only Brother Ji Duo, but also Grandpa, Grandma, and Brother Dawei will feel bad."
The number she counted was actually very messy, but she was counting for Gu Shaozhen to hear. "It's all right now. They won't dare to do it again. From now on, Brother Jiduo, Grandpa and Grandma, and Brother Dawei don't have to feel sorry for me anymore."
Next year will be the beginning of that decade, and to be honest, Lin Qiao is a little scared.
She didn't know how long she could stay here, or what she could do to change the fate of Shao Ping and Shao Zhen. She could only try to teach Shao Zhen not to remain silent.
Don't be silent. Don't let people think of you as a soft persimmon that they can squeeze however they want.
Don't remain silent, Gu Shaoping is willing to stand up for her, Ji Duo and Su Zheng are also willing to stand up for her.
Whoever dares to reach out her hand, she will stab him first and see if he dares to pinch her again.
Lin Qiao didn't know whether Shaozhen could understand, but at least as long as she was around, no one could bully her or take advantage of them.
She shook the whip and said, "Next time if Brother Ji Duo is not here and they come again, sister, help me whip them!"
The little girl's eyes were big and bright, full of trust. Gu Shaozhen felt a sense of responsibility when he was being watched, "Okay, okay."
It turned out that maybe it was Lin Qiao's fault, but Ji Duo fell ill just a few days after he said this.
It had just snowed that day, and the roofs and treetops were covered with a layer of white. Lin Qiao had to wear a thick cotton hand muff, which was hung around her neck with a rope, and a cotton coat, scarf and hat. When she followed Ji Duo out, she almost failed to climb up.
"Can you do it?" Seeing that she had jumped twice but couldn't be held, Ji Duo simply turned around and picked her up.
It was really clamped, clamped under the armpit. Lin Qiaoren was stunned for several seconds before he remembered to kick his legs, "Put me down!"
When Xu Li saw this, she couldn't help but say to her son, "Don't drop Qiao Qiao."
"I know." Ji Duo changed from holding to hugging, and when he walked out of the yard, he still accidentally slipped.
At that time, Lin Qiao didn't realize anything was wrong, but not long after she walked away, Ji Duo's hand holding her began to slip.
Feeling that she was falling, Lin Qiao subconsciously hugged his neck and put her little face against his, only to find that his face was a little hot.
Afraid that she was wrong, she pulled off her cotton gloves and stuffed her small hands directly into Ji Duo's neck.
The boy's reaction was even slower than usual, "What are you doing?"
"Brother, you are sick," Lin Qiao said, "You have a fever."
"Your hands are cold." Ji Duo still didn't believe it, so Lin Qiao turned around and called Shao Ping, "Brother Shao Ping, come and take a look. Is my brother sick?"
Gu Shaoping came over to check and found that Ji Duo was indeed running a fever. Moreover, with his good vision, he also saw the new herpes on Ji Duo's neck.
There was no need to play anymore. They turned back the way they came. Xu Li frowned as soon as she saw him. "He has chickenpox."
These days are different from a few decades later. There is no good treatment for chickenpox and you can only wait for it to heal on its own.
Because Lin Qiao was young and most susceptible to infection, and had not yet had chickenpox, he was isolated from Ji Duo.
Ji Duo was lying alone on the bed in his room, and suddenly he felt that the room was a little empty.
It wasn't that Lin Qiao was noisy. The little girl was very quiet most of the time. She ate snacks quietly, slept quietly, and played marbles quietly beside him. He could go to his room to do his homework, and as long as he raised his head, he would always see her sitting there obediently.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he took the comic book and read it under the quilt. After a while, he couldn't help but look up to look for the little figure.
As a result, when I looked up, I saw half of a familiar little face appearing at the window sill.
He couldn't help but glare at her. "Isn't it cold outside? You're just lying on the window."
Of course it was cold outside. Lin Qiao was small and had to stand on tiptoe to see what was going on inside the house.
But she was a little worried about him. After all, when she met Ji Duo, Ji Duo was already very strong and seemed to never get sick. But now Ji Duo is just a teenager who gets chickenpox.
But she had to be isolated, and even if she stood by the window for a while, she couldn't stand on tiptoe and fell down.
Lin Qiao took a break and stood on tiptoe to take another look when the boy knocked on the window glass and said, "Go back quickly."
The knocking was so loud, it looked like there shouldn't be any problem, so Lin Qiao left with peace of mind.
Then within two days, she was also infected.
When I woke up in the morning, I felt dizzy and my body was itchy. I couldn't get rid of the itchiness even inside my clothes.
Lin Qiao had the soul of an adult, and she immediately realized that she was probably suffering from chickenpox.
Then she thought about it, and when Ji Duo came over for breakfast, she pulled Ji Duo aside and said, "I have good news for you. We don't need to be quarantined anymore."
Lin Qiao can guarantee that the boy was absolutely stunned for a moment, and then his face turned completely black.
Lin Qiao also got chickenpox, and the problem became how to take care of her at night.
Because she felt that she was an adult soul, she was afraid of inconvenience, so she insisted on having her own room from the moment she moved in, and did not sleep with Xu Li and her grandfather.
Now that he was sick, if he slept alone at night, Xu Li and his father would definitely be worried. Lin Qiao was unwilling to sleep with her parents-in-law.
"Let her sleep at my place. I'm almost well anyway." Ji Duo said finally.
Xu Li and the old man were still about to object, but the boy had already taken Lin Qiao's small pillow and quilt to his own room.
Before going to bed at night, he even filled a basin with warm water, held the little girl by the bed, and washed her feet.
That was the first time that Lin Qiao had her ankle held by him outside of love affairs.
Although her feet were small and her calves were short, she subconsciously shrank when she felt the boy pulling her socks.
Ji Duo's hands were still slender at this moment, not as strong as they were later, but it was enough to hold her. He even looked at her impatiently and said, "Don't move."
It's not like he treated Nian Nian at all. Even after being kicked, he was still very patient and kissed Nian Nian's feet.
But by doing this, isn't he fulfilling his own words and raising her as his concubine?
Lin Qiao didn't move, and let the boy put his feet into the basin, looking disgusted, "Why do they stink so badly?"
Lin Qiao was not happy about this. "Don't your feet stink?"
How come she is so bad at talking? Even the old cadre at the beginning only said that she is not ugly.
Ji Duo thought about it and felt too embarrassed to say that his feet didn't stink.
He simply stopped talking, washed Lin Qiao's feet in a few seconds, and tucked himself into the quilt.
The way he stuffed her was not very gentle, but Lin Qiao started to have a fever in the middle of the night and subconsciously looked for the source of heat. He said it was really troublesome, but without any hesitation, he held Lin Qiao in his arms.
