Pastoral little master

Chapter 261 Rejection
Qi Duo admitted that Wen Xiuyi's words had some truth.

If a person has been ranked among the best since he was a child and has never lost, then he will be surrounded by praise and praise. Once he loses one day and falls from the sky to the ground, then he will most likely never climb up again. Woke up, became depressed, and languished ever since.

The root cause is that in the process of growing up, there is a direct relationship between not acquiring the ability to adapt to setbacks.

She had seen such cases before.

But if Qiduo was to thank Wen Xiuyi, she couldn't do it.

There are disadvantages to growing up in good times, but it does not mean that growing up in adversity is absolutely correct.

People who have been living in adversity are likely to feel world-weary because they have experienced too much pain, and their personalities will become extremely weird.

Qiduo said to Wen Xiuyi, "Mr. Wen, thank you brother Donan for your concern. What you said is reasonable, but I have learned it before. Now is the critical period for brother Nan. I don't want to see him being treated like this. Frustrated and sad.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that Mr. Wen can cancel this competition, thank you very much. "

Wen Xiuyi watched Qiduo humbly begging him for Shen Nan, feeling very uncomfortable.

"You seem to care about Shen Nan?" He asked in a low voice.

"I have known him for 11 years. Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, and Brother Nan treat me like family members. Of course I have to care about him." Qi Duo generously admitted that she cares about Shen Nan, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

"Hehe, we've known each other for 11 years! My childhood sweetheart!" Wen Xiuyi smiled.

But laugh bitterly!
Qiduo didn't make a sound. To be honest, she only knew Shen Nan for a few months.

But the original owner and Shen Nan are really childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

The reason why she is so worried about Shen Nan right now is largely because of the original owner's deep affection for him. This emotion is so strong that it infected her emotions, and she rushed to find Wen Xiuyi in a hurry.

After a while, Wen Xiuyi said, "Xiao Qi, I'm afraid that even if I agree to cancel the competition, Shen Nan will not agree."

Qiduo's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, as long as Mr. Wen agrees to cancel, I will try to persuade him."

"However, the words have already been spoken, how can you take them back easily, Xiao Qi, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request." Wen Xiuyi shook his head and refused.

After going around such a big circle, he still refused, and Qiduo was a little unhappy.

The words have reached this point, and it is meaningless to continue, she stood up, "Mr. Wen, I'm sorry for delaying your work, just wait until I don't come. Farewell."

Then, she walked to the door.

When she was about to push the door open, she turned her head again and looked at Wen Xiuyi, "Mr. Wen, I beg you one more thing. I hope you don't tell Brother Nan that I came to look for you today."

"I can agree to this." Wen Xiuyi readily agreed.

"Thank you very much." Qiduo blessed him, turned around and opened the door.

"Xiaoqi, in a few months, I will give you a big gift." Wen Xiuyi said again suddenly.

"Mr. Wen, you are our family's great benefactor. It should be us who gave you a gift, but I dare not accept your gift. Thank you for your kindness. Let me leave." Qiduo turned her head and spoke very politely.

The sound of the word "you" distanced the distance between him and Wen Xiuyi, and lost the kindness he used to have.

"You will know when the time comes." Wen Xiuyi added lightly, with pain in the bottom of his eyes.

Only because of Qiduo's alienation.

Qiduo didn't say any more, just pushed the door and went out.

After leaving the study, she was inexplicably relieved, the air outside was better.

Go downstairs to see Xu Youxuan.

"Xiao Qi, how did you talk with Xiu Yi?" Xu Youxuan asked with concern.

"It's not good, Brother Xu, I'm going back first." Qiduo looked a little tired, and she was not willing to speak.

Seeing that Qiduo was in a bad mood, Xu Youxuan lightly patted her on the shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry, it's just a competition archery target, not shooting people, it will be fine."

"En." Qiduo responded softly.

Then he waved his hands at him and left the restaurant with his head down.

Tan Dejin is anxiously waiting for the result.

Seeing Qiduo's unhappy face, he knew that Wen Xiuyi did not agree, and when he asked, it was indeed so.

"Oh, how could Mr. Wen be like this? He's not human at all." Tan Dejin muttered with some dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, a simple verbal agreement is not so difficult to cancel.

"Father, forget it, let's go home." Qiduo comforted.

Alas, I think too highly of myself, thinking that if I ask him, he will agree.

But the result was cruel.

She really didn't understand why Wen Xiuyi had to compete with Shen Nan in this match.

As for what he said to help Shen Nan grow up, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed. He wouldn't care about Shen Nan so much.

He and Shen Nan are neither relatives nor close friends, they just nodded and greeted each other.

Even if he knew Shen Huairen, the relationship between the two was mediocre, far from the level that would make him worry about Shen Nan's future.

If it is said that his purpose is contrary to what he said, she does not believe it either, after all he has no grievances with Shen Nan, there is no need to harm Shen Nan like this.

Intuitively, he's not that mean.

So what is his purpose?

Qiduo couldn't understand it.

The competition is inevitable now, so we can only think about how to comfort Shen Nan after losing. Maybe, after this setback, he will really grow up and become more mature, which is not a bad thing.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Shen Nan is not as weak in his heart as he thinks, maybe he doesn't think the outcome is important.

If that's the case, that's the best outcome.

Thinking of this, she felt a little better again, and she was no longer as entangled and uncomfortable as before.

After Qiduo's carriage left the restaurant, Xu Youxuan immediately walked up to the second floor.

As soon as he opened the study door, Xu Youxuan shouted at Wen Xiuyi, "Xiu Yi, why are you so stubborn, isn't it just a small competition, you agreed to Xiao Qi's request, just cancel it."

After knowing Qiduo's reason for seeking Wen Xiuyi, he guessed that it was to ask Wen Xiuyi to cancel the match.

On the way back last night, he said that it was too abrupt for Wen Xiuyi to propose the competition, and it would make people think that he had ulterior motives.

Thinking that Shen Nan and Wen Xiuyi were not very familiar, it was really inappropriate to suddenly bring up such a thing as a competition.

Wen Xiuyi just laughed but didn't speak at that time.

Now he is still smiling without saying a word.

"Xiu Yi, do you know that Xiao Qi is very unhappy, I really feel uncomfortable seeing her unhappy. I have known her for so long, this is the first time I see her unhappy." Xu Youxuan's tone was filled with anger.

Mentioning that Qiduo was unhappy, Wen Xiuyi really changed his face.

He suppressed his smile, "I just want Shen Nan to be my apprentice, so the competition cannot be cancelled."

"What? Xiu Yi, why do you have such an idea when you are serious, what difference does it make if Shen Nan is your apprentice or not?" Xu Youxuan asked inexplicably.

"This, you don't understand." Wen Xiuyi's eyes became a little erratic.

Then he got up, walked to Xu Youxuan's side, patted his shoulder, and left the study.

Only Xu Youxuan was left with a dazed face.

He still couldn't figure out why Wen Xiuyi insisted on making Shen Nan his apprentice, could it be that he liked Shen Nan's intelligence?
However, Xiu Yi seems to be a little bit towards Xiao Qi... Then what, Shen Nan is sincere to Xiao Qi. It stands to reason that Xiu Yi doesn't like Shen Nan and doesn't want to see Shen Nan, so why accept him as a Disciple, isn't this embarrassing yourself?
Ugh!
Xu Youxuan waved his hand, he really didn't understand what Wen Xiuyi wanted to do.

However, deep down in his heart, he was also inexplicably unhappy.

He sat down at the desk sullenly, opened the ledger and read it.

When Qiduo's father and daughter returned home, they temporarily put aside Shen Nan's matter and discussed the matter of building a sauce shop.

After buying the land on the other side of the sauce shop, Qiduo suggested to build a wall around the homestead that belongs to her first, and then hire someone to eradicate the weeds and shrubs on the ground.

Because the land is so large, the land will definitely not be used for building a house now, and the surplus land should be planted with crops or trees first, and they cannot be wasted anyway.

Xu and Tan Dejin both agree with this suggestion.

The house on the other side of the sauce shop needs to be built quickly, and they feel more and more that this side is too narrow, and the three sisters of Qiduo are squeezed into one room.

Liu Lang originally lived in their husband and wife's house. After buying Changsheng, in order for Changsheng to take care of Liu Lang, Tan Debao vacated another room for Liu Lang and Changsheng to live in.

Fortunately, Tan Debao has not married yet, otherwise, Qiduo's family would not only have a big problem with where they live, but also have no place to grow bean sprouts, no place to put the lotus root from last time, and no place to put food.

"Sure, I'm going to find some people right now. The construction will start tomorrow. A group of people will build the fence and a group of people will weed." Tan Dejin said.

"Well, okay, dad, do you want to take a look at the blue bricks and tiles at the kiln to see if they are all finished, but they can't wait for us to use them, they haven't finished yet." Qiduo said.

"Duo, don't worry about this. I took the time to look at it two days ago. It's almost finished. When we build the house, the kiln owner will send someone over." Tan Dejin nodded with a smile.

"That's good. I really hope that our new house will be built soon, and we will have a new house to live in." Qiduo smiled with narrowed eyes.

Mrs. Xu and Tan Dejin also showed yearning, the new house is the fruit of hard work these days.

The family discussed other details of building the house.

After finishing the matter, Tan Dejin went out to find someone to discuss the start of work tomorrow.

"Mother, where is Liulang?" Only then did Qiduo realize that he hadn't seen Liulang.

"Brother Nan told him to go fishing in the Shixi River. Liu Lang was studying. Brother Nan said that studying should combine work and rest, and you should not just study blindly. Since it is a holiday, then take a good rest." Xu responded with a smile. .

"Mom, then I'll go and see them."

Qi Duo laughed, Shen Nan made a lot of sense.

"Go." Xu nodded with a smile.

Qiduo went out of the yard alone, and walked towards Shixi River.

When he ran past the gate of the Tan family compound, he happened to see Si Zao leaving the yard carrying a small wooden bucket.

However, her whereabouts were a bit suspicious. After leaving the yard, she didn't go in one direction, but looked around, and happened to see Qiduo too.

"Fourth sister, what are you doing?" Qiduo called out to Sizao who was about to enter the yard.

It's strange, Si Zao had just left the yard, why did he enter the yard when he saw him?
