The next day, the village chief went to Zhao Dahu, mysteriously took out the
name that Qu Qing had written from his pocket, and showed it to Zhao Dahu, so
that he could judge how it was.\nZhao Dahu glanced at it and said, "Village chief, I don't know how to read.
Why do you show me this? Let's be honest. Was this written by the gentleman
you asked for? Why, they really agreed?"\n"Of course, it doesn't matter who is going out, he agrees as soon as I say it,
so I'll come over to discuss it with you now, but he also said it in advance,
at most it is to teach children to read You can read, but if you want to take
the imperial examinations, you can’t say it.”\nZhao Dahu said with a smile on his face: "It's good to be able to read and
write. He really agrees to one or two silver a month? Isn't it too little?"\n"Not too little."\n"Who is that person, I'm very curious now, village chief, please tell me
quickly, don't give a shit." Zhao Dahu was completely excited at this time,
and he seemed to have seen in his mind that his school was established and his
son was studying in it. Scenes.\nThe village chief smiled and said: "You actually know that person, it's Qu
Qing, hey hey, don't roll your eyes in a hurry, although Qu Qing is a
prodigal, but his ancestors were rich and rich, before he came, I heard that
his family specially hired a teacher for him. He not only learned to read and
read, but also learned calligraphy. Do you think that based on these, he is
not enough to be a teacher?"\nAt first, Dahu Zhao felt that the village chief was fooling him, but after
listening carefully to what the village chief said, he hesitated again.
Obviously, he was not willing to believe that a person who was famous for his
prodigal family could have any real talents and practical knowledge, but The
village chief said it again and again.\nSeeing his appearance, the village chief put all the notes he brought in front
of Zhao Dahu and showed him: "Look at these words, if they are well written,
they are just written with charcoal and Spring Festival couplet paper. Yes,
they can write so beautifully, you said that if you get him a real pen, ink,
paper and inkstone for writing, his writing will definitely look a thousand
times better than this!"\nDahu Zhao also stared at the papers carefully. Although he was illiterate, he
could tell how well people wrote. After reading it, he said, "It's alright."\nThe village chief felt a bit of disgust in his tone, and pouted, "Then do you
want this gentleman or not? After this village, there will be no such shop."\nReading is about to become Zhao Dahu's inner demon, and he immediately said:
"Yes, but I have to test him first to see if he really has real talents and
real learning."\nQu Qing looked at the village chief and the strange middle-aged man next to
him.\nThe other party is also looking at Qu Qing, especially his weird hair.\nAfter introducing each other, Qu Qing, who understood the situation, invited
them to sit down and asked, "Then, I don't know what aspects of Uncle Zhao you
want to assess me?"\nDahu Zhao glanced at the village chief, then stretched out his hand and took
out a book from his jacket.\nQu Qing took a closer look, isn't it a coincidence, the other party took out a
book that even he was very familiar with \- "Three Character Classic".\n"If you can read the above, I will hire you as a gentleman." Zhao Dahu said.\nThis was not difficult for Qu Qing. He took the book, glanced at the two, and
began to read it from the beginning.\nZhao Dahu is actually illiterate. He specially bought this book to make
decorations in his home, but even so, he has heard the first few sentences of
this book and memorized a few sentences, so he wanted to try it out. When he
looked at Qu Qing, he didn't expect that Qu Qing was not afraid at all, and
read it fluently when he picked it up. Originally, he still had some
dissatisfaction with Qu Qing in his heart, but soon only full admiration
remained.\nQu Qing hadn't finished reading it yet, but he didn't know what the next thing
was, so he said, "Alright, alright, I know brother Qu Qing, you are really
knowledgeable. It's settled."\nZhao Dahu seems to be very satisfied with this meeting. Before leaving, he
said to Qu Qing that there is nothing to worry about Qu Qing, he will prepare
everything, just trouble him, and he needs to go to the town bookstore in
person Let's see what books are needed for teaching. Zhao Dahu said that he
has covered all of them. Now he just needs to wait for the school to be built
and recruit students to start recording teaching. As for what to teach and how
to teach, these are all Qu Qing himself. responsible things.\nFrom this day on, the school in Huajia Village began to work vigorously, and
Qu Qing also became a figure of concern in the village because he was hired as
a husband.\nHowever, Qu Qing still lived a quiet life, planted various fields, helped
Jiang Hunter build a house, mined a vegetable field next to the house,
sprinkled vegetable seeds, took care of his own yard, and lived a secluded
life. life.\nThe two new little milk dogs in the family also got their names, one named Da
Huang and the other named Er Hei, and officially became part of the family,
and the hens in the family began to lay eggs after adapting to the
environment.\nEverything was in order, and the house was very lively and looked alive.\nIt's just that Qu Qing discovered that since that day he realized that he
would leave one day, he began to deliberately avoid getting along with Hua
Zizhou alone, and at the same time began to think about how to deal with his
relationship with him.\nIt's definitely not acceptable to let Hua Zizhou leave. He knows that Hua
Zizhou has nowhere to go, and his family probably won't accept him back. As
for sleeping in separate beds, it is more realistic, but the bed can be made,
but there is no extra quilt at home. , but when the school is built and he
receives his own salary, it will be realistic for many to sleep in separate
beds.\nAnyway, I can't stay in the same bed for such a long time. Qu Qing is very
firm on this point, not because he dislikes Hua Zizhou, but because he finds
that Hua Zizhou seems to like him.\nIn fact, he didn't think about this direction at all at first, but Qu Qing
knew what it was like to fall in love. In the past, there were too many people
around him who were in love, and even many little girls came to him to
confess. He remembered what they were like, their performance and Hanako boat
can match too much.\nHe didn't want Hana Zizhou to like him, just like he didn't want the girls who
came to confess to him to like him.\nOnce he knew that he was GAY, so he would not give any girl even the slightest
hope. He also knew that it was impossible for him and Hua Zizhou, so he would
never give Hua Zizhou any hope, and of course he did not dare to cheat.\nNow getting along with Hua Zizhou, he pursues a few principles, not to be
alone with him, not to call his name intimately, and rarely to smile at him,
in short, to prevent everything that may make Hua Zizhou continue to have him
Fantasy things happen.\nSince he didn't do it very deliberately, it wasn't until several days passed
that Hua Zizhou suddenly realized that Qu Qing seemed to have some subtleties
about him that he couldn't tell.\nQu Qing would call Jiang Orion a brother, and would drag Jiang Zhu to play
with the cat intimately. Usually, getting along with him was the same as
before, but it seemed to be different.\nHua Zizhou began to observe carefully, until one time, he took the cat and
Jiang Zhu back from the bamboo forest, and the two children jumped and greeted
him, while Qu Qing just lowered his eyes slightly and pursed his lips, as if
he didn't see it. He is the same.\nA guess suddenly flashed in Hua Zizhou's mind, whether Qu Qing was ignoring
him.\nHe didn't believe it at first, until after two full days of observation, he
finally determined that he was indeed being ignored.\nThe first thing that appeared in his heart was panic. He didn't know if he had
done something wrong, or what made him unhappy, but Qu Qing behaved as usual
to the outside world, except to avoid everything and his alone time.\nSometimes, seeing Mao'er and Qu Qing get along so closely, Hua Zizhou even
felt the uncomfortable feeling of being isolated.\nEarly this morning, before dawn, Qu Qing got up to dig up bamboo shoots.\nBamboo shoots were negotiated yesterday. Qu Qing said that he would go by
himself. The others were responsible for firewood and hot water.\nQu Qing heard the footsteps behind him, and turned around to see Hua Zizhou, a
little surprised: "Why don't you sleep for a while?"\n"I have something I want to ask you, so I can't sleep, the boss..."\nBefore he finished speaking, Qu Qing frowned and interrupted him: "Don't call
me that, it sounds weird, you can call me by my name in the future, Qu Qing
Ji, you know."\nThe word "head of the family" is too similar to a husband and wife, so Qu Qing
naturally won't let him call it that again.\nDon't even let him call this?\nHua Zizhou took another two steps, and Qu Qing stood there with a cold
expression, as if revealing a bit of impatience with him.\n"Did I do something wrong?" His voice revealed a few cautious looks on his
face, and finally his footsteps stopped three meters away.\nQu Qing's indifferent expression is like a moat, he can't walk, and he doesn't
dare to walk.\n"Why do you ask?"\n"You seem to be ignoring me and avoiding me, but you are as good to cats as
ever."\nQu Qing did not speak, but for Hua Zizhou, this was tantamount to
acquiescence. He enlarged his eyes, became emotional, looked at Qu Qing in
confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"\nQu Qing was silent for two seconds, the morning dew was white on the bamboo
leaves, and the crisp birdsong echoed in the bamboo forest.\n"Hua Zizhou," Qu Qing called to him, and suddenly walked towards him, Hua
Zizhou subconsciously stepped back, and was finally blocked by a bamboo, "Do
you like me?"\nThe tone of the statement.\nWith a bang, Hua Zizhou's brain exploded: "I didn't!"\nHe subconsciously retorted.\n"Dare you look at me and say it again you haven't?"\nHua Zizhou only felt that Qu Qing's voice had never been so cold.\nHe wanted to raise his head, but he forced himself to raise his head too.\n"I..." His chest heaved violently, desperately suppressing the eyes that he
wanted to avoid, and his breathing became rapid. The denial that had come to
his mouth changed immediately when he saw Qu Qing's eyes without a trace of
turbulence. "Yes, I like you. I'm your brother. I sleep in the same bed with
you. Can I still like others if I don't like you?"\nQu Qing's eyes seemed to be saying, you can't like me.\nHe was not reconciled.\nQu Qing said: "You are not my brother, you are just yourself, Hua Zizhou, if
you like others, I will not stop you, you are welcome to remarry, but the only
thing is, you can't like me, otherwise we will even be friends You don't have
to do it, you know?"\n"Why?" Hua Zizhou felt extremely aggrieved, he choked and said, "Is it because
I'm not good-looking, so I'm not qualified to like you? I just like you, and I
didn't ask you to like me, neither would I Affect you, it won't hurt you, so I
like you, what's wrong with you?"\nQu Qing tugged at the collar, ignoring the unreasonable irritability in his
heart and said to him: "I'm not discussing with you, Hua Zizhou, you can't
like me in the future, this is an order, I want you to make a promise with
me."\nHua Zizhou's lower lip trembled a little, he shook his head, wanting to fight
against the prisoner who was reluctant to die, hugged his arms tightly, and
let out a weak and weak resistance from his throat: "I don't... I want to like
you, You can't stop me."\n"From then on, I won't say a word to you anymore. You can like me, but I will
completely ignore your existence."\nQu Qing is not a resolute style of doing things, and it can even be said that
he is indecisive, but when facing emotions, he can be decisive and decisive,
because he understands how hurtful things can be, so he will do it so
absolutely.\nStop the loss in time, he doesn't want Hua Zizhou to suffer for a lifetime
because of him. Since there is no hope, then cut off all possibilities from
the beginning, which is a good thing for both parties.\nHua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing, his heart aching like a tear, but the expression
on his face became strangely quiet.\nQu Qing stopped talking and looked at him with scrutiny eyes, waiting for his
response.\nFor a long time, the sun began to rise in the sky, and the dazzling light
shone into his eyes.\nHua Zizhou finally spoke.\n"Okay, I promise...I don't like you."\nHis voice was as dry as a sun-dried fish lying in the desert.
