Qu Qing planned to put the fields except the grass for two days before
planting corn, so after today, there is generally nothing to do. After getting
up in the morning and having breakfast together, when Hua Zizhou finished
drinking the medicine, he called him and Go to the paddy field together to see
if the seeds in the field have sprouted, whether you need to release water or
store water to soak the seeds and take care of the crops.\nAlthough he had heard the theory of these things and kept them in mind, but if
he was allowed to operate it himself, he was still not 100% sure, and he was
worried that he would not take good care of the crops, so he pulled Hanako up.
With Zhou watching by his side, he will feel more at ease.\nHua Zizhou only regarded him as unfamiliar with farming, and never thought
that he was from another world. He felt very happy about Qu Qing's trust and
attention to him. But now, he is very grateful to himself who has learned all
the farm work well.\nKitten went to play with Jiang Zhu by himself, but didn't follow, so for Hua
Zizhou, it was a rare opportunity for him and Qu Qing to be alone.\nHe was still very excited about this, and quietly glanced at Qu Qing's normal
face, and immediately moved away nervously, he didn't even know where to put
his hands and feet.\nWhen he went to the field, Qu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that the
seeds sown a few days ago had begun to germinate, and the tender green leaves
grew very gratifyingly. In particular, he hadn't even seen a ** not long
ago, and he didn't expect that he would now become a farmer who makes a living
by farming.\nAccording to the sequence Hua Zizhou once said, he took a ** to dig up the
mud that blocked the water on the ridge, let the water out, then squatted down
and looked at the seeds in the field that were sprouting a little bit and
said: "Zizhou, look Look, isn't this seedling growing well?"\nIn this quiet atmosphere, there was no one around, Hua Zizhou suddenly heard
him call his name, his heart jumped, and he turned to look at the seedlings in
the field, and he didn't recover for a long time.\nQu Qing didn't hear a response, so he called out a few more times and repeated
what he just said before Hua Zizhou came back to his senses, stood beside Qu
Qing, bent down slightly, looked at the tender seedlings in the field and
said, "Yes, long It's so good, I believe that after a few months, you will be
able to harvest full rice grains."\n"If you are planting rice seedlings, it is estimated that you will be busy for
a few more days." Qu Qing stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched the
tender seedlings under his feet, stood up and said to Hua Zizhou: "Let's go,
Jiang Orion said today that he is going to build a house. materials, we also
went to help, he has really helped us a lot recently, we should help him
more."\n"Okay." Hua Zizhou hurriedly followed half a step behind him, his head was
slightly lowered, his eyes looked at Qu Qing's waving hand in front of him,
and he suddenly imagined in his mind what it would be like for Qu Qing to hold
his hand, his heart He started jumping wildly.\nHe wanted to hold Qu Qing's hand, so he couldn't help reaching out, but he
raised his hand in the air, wondering if it would be too abrupt, and worried
that he would be thrown away by Qu Qing, besides, he is still ugly now ,
although he thought that since Qu Qing was willing to let him stay and tacitly
slept with him, then he must be willing to take his own, but he was still
worried in his heart...\nAfter a few months, he has already started taking medicine, and his face will
be fine by then. When he is normal, even if he is not beautiful, at least he
can be like an ordinary person and have the courage to stand by his side.
Maybe at that time, if you go to hold his hand yourself, you don't have to
worry about being rejected.\nThinking of this, the hand he stretched out turned around again, and he tried
to touch his face, but before he touched it, he remembered what Qu Qing had
said that there were "bacteria" on his hand, so he quickly stopped.\nIt was not far on the way back, but there seemed to be some silence between
the two. Perhaps Qu Qing also realized it, so he found a topic to talk about.
He asked Hua Zizhou: "The person who came that day was your brother?"\n"Yeah." Hua Zizhou was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he would
suddenly mention this topic.\nQu Qing pondered the language and said, "He doesn't look like he has no
feelings for you. It sounds like your relationship isn't too bad. How was your
life when you were at home?"\n"Although there have been many conflicts, which brothers and sisters will not
have conflicts, my second brother, except for throwing away the cat, I
remember that it is not particularly bad, and my mother, In fact, if I were
really ruthless, I would have been kicked out of the house long ago. Where can
I pick up another child and bring it back? My mother is also very hard, and
the family is also very hard. Everyone worked hard, but I still can’t get
enough to eat, and my mother is already very tired in order to marry the
second brother and save the dowry for the younger sisters.”\nHe had some resentment in his heart, but for some reason, as he spoke, he
incoherently turned into saying good things about his family.\n"Your mother...have you saved a dowry for you?" Qu Qing thought, since my
brother is also going to marry, he should pretend like a woman.\nAfter saying this, Hua Zizhou's face suddenly darkened: "Unless it is a very
rich family, my brother will rarely have a dowry, because everyone thinks that
it is better to marry a brother than a woman, and I... It's good-looking,
that's why my mother wants to find someone so urgently."\n"Actually, you also care about your mother very much."\n"Of course, who doesn't care about his own mother, it's just..." On that day,
if Qu Qing didn't know why he suddenly changed and let him in, he thought that
he and the cat might really die in the barren mountains. Thinking of this, he
felt a little chilled.\nQu Qing said: "You also said that your mother is not that cruel, so if you
have a chance, you should go back and have a look. Even if she is really
cruel, it will not change the fact that he has raised you for more than ten
years. If you are stubborn now, and if you regret it one day, you may not have
a chance. Isn't there a saying like this, a tree wants to be quiet but the
wind doesn't stop, a child wants to be raised but a kiss doesn't wait...\nAfter listening to the village chief's words that day, Qu Qing pondered over
the seemingly vicious woman that day. In the end, no matter from any point of
view, he couldn't think of her as a person who was so heartless that he could
kill his own child. After persuading Hua Zizhou like this, maybe there really
was a misunderstanding that he didn't see during the period.\nWhen Hua Zizhou was told this, the charming thoughts in his heart suddenly
disappeared. He responded sullenly. After a while, he realized that when Qu
Qing said that sentence just now, there was a strong voice in his voice. of
sadness.\nLater, he remembered that Qu Qing's parents had already died, so he was so
sad.\nThinking of this, he comforted Qu Qing and said, "Don't be sad, if your
parents see your current state, they will be very pleased."\nQu Qing wanted to say that he didn't have a father, but when the words came to
his lips, he thought that he was not the original owner, so forget it, and in
the end he just answered.\nAs soon as Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou got home, they saw Jiang Orion carrying a
hoe, digging mud and moving soil five or six meters away from Pangban outside
their house. It seemed that the foundation of the house had been planned. ,
found that it was about the same size as his current home, with a few rooms
and a yard.\nIt looks like he is really going to have a neighbor soon.\nQu Qing went up to help, but Jiang Orion hurriedly told him to stay still:
"Hey, you are a student, don't do these hard work, I can handle it myself."\nQu Qing suddenly felt dumbfounded. Since he said he knew how to read, he found
that the people here spoke to him with a three-pointed politeness and respect,
which made people feel uncomfortable. He didn't listen. , while saying: "What
are you studying? I'm not a farmer now. What's wrong with doing some work? Do
you dislike me for doing a good job?"\nJiang Orion repeatedly refused, but Qu Qing didn't listen, so he had to follow
him in the end. A few people worked together to quickly deal with the
foundation, and then went to start preparing materials, bamboo, thatch, and
tree cutting. I found that here, every day is full of fulfillment.\nWhile they were busy, on the side of the village,\nAfter the village chief asked Qu Qing to read the letter that day, the family
began to happily invite their eldest son back, and their views on Qu Qing
changed completely.\nToday, Dahu Zhao just happened to come to the village head to ask a question.
After the village head answered, Dahu Zhao was about to leave, and the village
head suddenly remembered Qu Qing, so he immediately stopped him and asked him
to sit down again:\n"Brother Zhao, let me ask you something. You originally planned to set up a
school for us in a few villages. What else do you plan to do?"\nWhen Zhao Dahu heard about this, he sighed and said, "Hey, the village chief,
I really want to do a good thing for the village. The address of the original
school has been selected, and I will wait for the construction to start, but I
can't help it, the only literate scholar in the 10 miles and 8 townships costs
50 taels of silver a month. Do you think I'll give him my life? Even if I make
some money outside, this month, I also earn Not so much money, it only takes a
hundred or so taels to build a school, and he doesn’t want to lose one, so
what else can I do, I can only say forget it.”\nThe village chief also bought a pass: "Then let me ask you, if I can find you
a cheap gentleman, would you still be willing to build a school? You have to
answer me solemnly, after all, if you build a free school, but Great things
that benefit the five or six villages nearby."\n"Really?" Zhao Dahu's eyes lit up and he asked with great interest, "Can you
really find something that is not expensive? Who is willing to continue
teaching? Who is it? How much does he cost a month? To be honest, building a
school and what you need I have all the books, so I really don’t have much to
pay for tuition fees. You know, the village chief, how expensive books are,
and my money is not from the wind. Whoever goes to school will prepare it by
himself."\nAfter going out for many years, Zhao Dahu made money and came back. When he
came back, he still felt that scholars were more respected. He hoped that the
people in his family could be promising and respected. He wanted to send his
son to the school in the county. Said he was in business, but he didn't even
let him in.\nAngrily, Zhao Dahu decided to raise funds to build a school when he came back,
so that not only his son could study, but also the children in several nearby
villages could study. Looking forward to who will mention him in the future,
not sourly saying that he is a nouveau riche, but giving him a thumbs up to
praise him.\nAlthough the idea is good, but the material things are easy to handle, but the
husband is hard to find. As soon as most scholars hear that he is in business,
they will look down on others and look down on others. Fifty taels of silver a
month, you must know that in this era, ordinary people only need seven or
eight taels of silver a year. If he wants to give it like this, one day he
will go bankrupt.\nZhao Dahu, who was running into walls everywhere, had no choice but to give up
his plan.\nI didn't expect to come to the village chief today, but when I heard the
village chief say this, there was a glimmer of light in my heart, but I
suddenly thought of the arrogant faces of those scholars, and I suddenly gave
up hope.\nThe village chief said confidently: "You don't have to worry about money, you
just say how much you are willing to pay for a month, and then I will help you
as a lobbyist and keep him willing."\nZhao Dahu didn’t quite believe it. After all, he had searched all the scholars
he could find in Shili Baxiang, and none of them agreed. The village chief was
just a peasant. He really couldn’t imagine who the village chief could find a
scholar.\nHe was heartbroken by those scholars, so he deliberately said a very low
number: "One tael, at most one tael a month, I won't go out again."\nWhen the village chief heard this, he slapped his thigh: "It's okay, you can't
go back on it. I'll go and tell someone today, you can go back and wait for my
good news."\nThe excited look of the village chief made Zhao Dahu not convinced. He
wondered, could he really find a teacher who is willing to pay such a low
price?\nThe village chief was so happy that he couldn't sit still. His wife asked him
if he had found a lot of money on the road, and he said, "That's better than
picking up a lot of money. You said, if our village can build a school, What a
good thing that would be,\nMaybe we will get a champion from our village in the future. That's really
amazing. Even if we don't get the champion, but those from ten miles and eight
townships can put together money to build a school, it will definitely be the
only one. If the village is good, Do you think I will have a credit when that
time comes? Maybe the county magistrate will reward us at that time! "\nThe village chief's daughter-in-law was inexplicable, but the youngest next to
him understood at once: "Father, you are not planning to ask Brother Qu Qing
to be the teacher of the school, will it be a little unreliable? He has a bad
reputation. Do you think Zhao Dahu would agree?"\n"You don't know, how much effort Zhao Dahu has spent in order to get his
children to study, and how many people have looked down upon him, do you think
he will not? But I'm going to talk about Qu Qing, wait for me. Change clothes
and go now, I don't know if he is at home or in the field today."\nThe youngest said, "It should be at home. We only removed the grass yesterday,
and said that we will wait two days before planting corn."\nThe village chief immediately changed into new clothes that he would only wear
during the Chinese New Year.\nQu Qing was at home and Jiang Hunter was cutting bamboo and moving back when
he saw the village chief walking towards his house. Several people quickly
stopped to entertain him. The village chief waved his hand and said, "This is
going to build a house, Jiang Hunter. , you're busy first, I'm here to talk to
Qu Qing about something important."\nSo Qu Qing asked him to go in and sit down. Although Jiang Liehu was a little
curious, he continued to do his own work. Hua Zizhou poured them two bowls of
hot white water. Qu Qing glanced at him and said to the village chief: " The
family is poor and there is nothing to entertain, I hope you don't mind."\nHua Zizhou went out quietly, Qu Qing glanced at his back again, thinking a
little strangely in his heart, at that moment, it was too similar, his
cooperation with Hua Zizhou looked like a real couple .\nSeeing his appearance, the village chief also said: "This brother of the Hua
family is really sensible now, although he doesn't look good, but he works
neatly, is sensible and obedient, and takes care of the inside and outside of
the family. Not bad, so I think Qu Qing, you still made money, picking up a
daughter-in-law for nothing, and your mother-in-law hasn't asked you for a
betrothal gift."\nQu Qing smiled and didn't answer, and directly asked the village chief what
was going on here.\nAs soon as this was mentioned, the village chief's face became serious, and he
approached Qu Qing mysteriously: "I found you a job for a minute and a month
and a tael of silver, and you can say whether you are willing to take it. "\nQu Qing was a little surprised: "Village chief, don't be joking, you know how
much money my family is short of right now, but even if it is short of money,
I won't do anything illegal or criminal."\nThe village chief's teeth almost didn't fall out of laughter: "Why do you
think so, can I be the kind of person who asks you to do illegal and criminal
things? It's a good thing, not only is it not illegal, but it can also make
you famous for generations, but only if you Willing to do it, of course, you
can do this alone."\nQu Qing didn't quite understand: "What is the good thing?"\nThe village chief deliberately made a fool of himself, stood up, walked to the
shredded paper where Qu Qingfang had written the list of meat swaps that day,
picked up the piece of paper, and kept complimenting: "Qu Qing, what you wrote
It's really good, even if I'm illiterate, I think he writes well."\nQu Qing stood beside him and looked at his charcoal pen, which was really not
good-looking. There were also reasons for the pen, and it was also because he
hadn't written well for many years.\n"The village chief has won the prize, that is, I learned calligraphy for two
years when I was a child, but now I am a lot unfamiliar, and I can barely
understand what I have learned."\n"I have also learned calligraphy, which is really amazing." The village chief
became more and more satisfied with Qu Qing's current appearance. He asked Qu
Qing, "Would you like to let you be the teacher of our Huajia Village School?"\nAfter speaking, he was afraid that Qu Qing would be under pressure, so he said
again: "Actually, you don't need how much real talent you need to learn, it is
enough to be able to teach children to read. In this day and age, being able
to read is a great thing, and this is also a matter of fact. It's not
difficult, the book will be prepared for you when the time comes. You can
teach the children whatever is on it. Don't be afraid that you can't do it
yourself. It's not asking you to teach a champion. Of course, if you can teach
one or two It would be better to be the champion."\nAfter the village chief finished speaking, Qu Qing laughed together.\nQu Qing didn't expect that someone would hand him a pillow when he wanted to
fall asleep. He took a sip of boiled water and asked, "Is it the school that
Zhao Dahu wants to set up to find a teacher?"\n"Yes, so you know?" The village chief was a little surprised.\nHua Zizhou put the bowl of boiled water on the table, touched the edge of the
bowl with his fingertips, and vaccinated the village chief in advance: "I
heard Zizhou say before that this opportunity can really fall on my head, of
course I Yes, it's just my ability. I can only teach children reading,
literacy, arithmetic, etc. It's really not good to take the top-ranking
imperial examinations. I don't have such a great ability. of."\nHe still has a very clear understanding of the difference between his
knowledge and the ancient Eastern Imperial Examination.\n"Don't worry about this, as long as you can teach reading and literacy, it
will be enough, then you agree, this matter is settled, when the school is
completed, you will be the only gentleman in our ten miles and eight
townships. , a tael of silver a month, you also accept it, right?"\n"Of course I accept it. It's already very good." A tael of silver is really a
lot. In this era, he can earn a calf's money in three months. He can't think
of any reason for him to refuse. Make money and do good deeds to literate
people here.\nThe village chief just left happily. Before leaving, he borrowed a few pieces
of paper that Qu Qing had written on, saying that he would show it to Dahu
Zhao and return it to him tomorrow.\nOf course Qu Qing agreed.\nHe originally thought that he would go to Zhao Dahu to recommend himself after
the farming work was over, but he did not expect the village chief to help him
and take the initiative to help him match up.\nQu Qing sent the village chief away, and the others looked at him with joy and
asked curiously. After Qu Qing said that he might want to be a husband, both
Hua Zizhou and Jiang Orion were shocked for a moment.\nThe last group of people were very happy for him. Jiang Hunter was so happy as
if someone in his family had been admitted to the top spot. That night, he
went to the wine seller in the village to make a pound of bayberry wine and
kill the chicken. To celebrate, Qu Qing disagreed. Jiang Hunter took advantage
of Qu Qing’s time to go out to fetch water. He killed the chickens and plucked
them. Qu Qing couldn’t help laughing and crying, but all the chickens were
killed, so he had no choice but to ate.\nThat night, we ate like a New Year's Eve, and we were about to set off a
cannonball battle to celebrate. Except for the two little ones who ate
vegetables, the three adults drank half a bowl of wine each.\nEven Qu Qing, a modern person, felt that this was a bit extravagant, but
seeing that everyone was sincerely happy for him, he felt happy from the
bottom of his heart.\nJiang Orion slapped his forehead when he heard the mention of the gun battle:
"Hey, why did I forget, I'll go buy it now."\nQu Qing quickly grabbed the man and pressed him down and sat down: "This
matter has not been settled yet, let's see first, you really don't know what
to say about you, come here, have a toast, whether it's successful or not. If
it doesn’t work, I’m happy today, if it doesn’t work, then I’ll still be a
teacher, and Jiang Zhu and Mao’er will learn something no matter what, right?
I’ll teach them everything I know.”\nJiang Orion hugged him hard, almost not squeezing Qu Qing's lungs out, Jiang
Orion quickly let go and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my ancestors
counted eighteen generations, and there is no such thing as Literacy, now you
say you want to teach my son to read and write, I'm so excited..."\nQu Qing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and continued to eat meat.
Seeing how the people here knew that knowledge was important, but had no way
to get in touch with it, he had a vague idea in his heart that maybe he could
try it. Do you want to engage in basic education here and pass on knowledge to
the villagers here?\nIt was only ten years anyway, and then he went home by himself, which was
considered a good deed that was beneficial to the people.\nSuddenly, pieces of chicken legs were placed in front of him and placed in his
bowl. Qu Qing raised his head and saw that the person who put the chicken legs
had buried his head and whispered to him to eat more.\nSeeing this, the kitten on the side also imitated his father, put a piece of
meat in his bowl, ran to him suddenly, and then pulled the meat chop into Qu
Qing's bowl with difficulty, and at the end still seriously. He instructed:
"Father, you are the backbone of our family, so you have to eat more, you
can't go hungry, our family depends on you."\nQu Qing didn't know where he learned it from, but at the same time he was
moved, he realized an extremely important issue for the first time in his
heart.\nWhat is the relationship between him and Hua Zizhou, and what will happen to
the two of them after he leaves.
