Qin Li chuckled a few times and didn't refute.
When he finished chopping wood, Qin Qiuniang prepared dinner and said, "Call Tan Nier to eat."
"Okay."
Qin Li wiped his hands, knocked on the bedroom door and went in.
The little girl in a blue cotton-padded jacket was writing calligraphy very attentively.
The room was dim, so he lit an oil lamp for her.
The orange light enveloped her, making her look so elegant and peaceful.
That half of the scar doesn't look ugly against the snow-white skin.
Alas, I should have stopped saying that.
"Have you finished writing?"
"There's one more," Chen Tan raised the brush in his hand and smiled, "I still prefer to use a pencil."
Writing calligraphy is really tiring.
"When you develop your own writing style, you won't dislike it anymore." Qin Li walked over to Chen Tan, picked up a piece of calligraphy she had written, and shook his head in disdain, "The downward stroke is not written correctly."
After saying that, he stood behind her, bent over and hugged her from behind, held her right hand, and began to slowly write the word "Forever" on the paper.
Chen Tan shuddered. In order to reduce such intimate contact, she was "forced" to write with a pencil and a pen, and she learned how to write after just one day.
But this calligraphy is so bad and too difficult to write.
Only when Qin Li held her hand could she write a decent word.
She felt the heat rushing into her earlobe and neck just below her ear.
Her body suddenly became hot for no reason.
The hand holding the pen became even more disobedient, and the writing became uglier and uglier the more it wrote.
But he was not angry at all. He held her and taught her over and over again.
As an adult soul, she is not stupid. This man is deliberately teasing her.
After being together for so long, she could feel that Qin Li was a good person.
But she didn't want to be tied down to a man. She was an orphan in her previous life, and the suffering she endured along the way was unimaginable for ordinary people.
She knew exactly what she wanted.
When Chen Tan thought of this, his eyes suddenly turned as cold as frost. He turned his head and met Qin Li's eyes. "Brother, you said a gentleman's promise is his bond. I am just your sister."
The two of them were very close, and if Qin Li moved forward an inch, he could kiss those beautiful red lips.
However, her eyes were cold and composed, without a trace of emotion, like a heartless cube of ice.
Qin Li squeezed her hand hard and then quickly let go.
He glared at her with contempt, "Why, with your appearance, you still want to be my wife? You are so ugly, are you worthy?"
"Of course not," Chen Tan smiled, "I misunderstood big brother."
"It's time to eat."
Qin Li stared at her smiling face, which was both beautiful and ugly. At first glance, it looked very strange, but her smile was so attractive.
He took the brush from her hand, put it on the pen holder, and left with some anger.
Chen Tan stared at his back and took a deep breath.
When Grandma Qin's health improves next spring, she can simply move in with Grandpa Xie.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Qin Li had returned to normal. He said something to Qin Qiuniang, but both of them had smiles on their faces.
"Tan Nier, come and sit down. Let Qin Li take you to the county town tomorrow."
Chen Tan sat down obediently, "Okay, if grandma needs anything, I have money and can bring it back for you."
"I don't need anything. Your Aunt Wu will accompany me tomorrow, and you two can go shopping in the county town."
Qin Qiuniang is now determined to bring the two together.
Chen Tan needed this opportunity to go into the city, so he smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
The next day, Chen Tan got up before dawn, made hand-rolled noodles, and roasted six sweet potatoes to take with him as dry food.
Seeing the sweet potatoes she had packed, Qin Li grabbed them and said, "I still have money to treat you to a meal in the county town."
When he talked about his elder brother, he gritted his teeth a little.
"Pfft," Chen Tan thought he was still angry, and quickly stopped laughing, "Well, I'm sorry to have cost you big brother so much. I've already prepared it, so you should take it with you."
Her skin was so white that even snow looked pale. She was completely different from who she was more than a month ago, and even more different from the dull and timid person she used to be.
The half-burned face added a touch of coldness and arrogance to her beautiful appearance.
Qin Li stared at her dimly, feeling increasingly unhappy.
He put the sweet potatoes in the pot to warm them, went into the house and took out a blue coat, a blue wool hat with ear protection, and a gray scarf, and asked Chen Tan to put them on.
The clothes and hat were both Qin Li's. They were very big and clean, with a faint scent of tea.
She put on her coat, hat and scarf, and looked fat, with only her eyes exposed.
After saying goodbye to Qin Qiuniang, the two men took their two baskets and went out.
Yesterday's muddy downhill dirt road froze overnight, and even though it was hard and no longer sticky, it was still very slippery to walk on.
Chen Tan followed Qin Li and moved down carefully.
He would squat down and slide a little from time to time.
Qin Li in front was wearing the same brown round-toed cotton shoes as her. He walked very steadily, like Mount Tai, and the mud and ice he stepped on broke and creaked.
Chen Tan really wanted to reach out and put his hand on his arm, but his pride wouldn't allow it.
In fact, what she didn't know was that Qin Li's arms were always tense, expecting her to open her mouth and ask him to hold her hand.
He was also ready to support her at any time in case she accidentally fell.
However, he waited for a long time, and even though Chen Tan had difficulty walking, he did not ask him for help.
He was finally defeated and turned around suddenly, just in time to see Chen Tan slipping and rushing forward.
Seeing this, he opened his arms and welcomed the person into his arms. The two baskets in his hands fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside.
