Zhong Shiqi finally left, but judging from the look on the county magistrate's
face, Qu Qing guessed that his days back would not be easy.\nAfter the people left, Qu Qing said to the people who had not yet reacted:
"Keep eating, food can't be wasted, even us, it's rare to have a meal of
meat." He also took a piece of spare ribs for the growing body. Jiang Zhu, and
then clipped the cat a little.\nLooking up at Hua Zizhou, looking at the little hope hidden in his eyes, he
smiled and gave him his favorite mushrooms. When Hua Zizhou got the vegetables
he picked, he immediately smiled.\nJiang Orion next to him saw the inexplicable sour smell emanating from the two
of them, and felt that he was really indifferent. The tone of voice said:
"Brother Qu Qing, others want it too."\nAd\n"Go away." Qu Qing didn't even give him a look. Although the two had already
talked about it when they were drinking last night, he felt that the anger in
his heart had not completely dissipated.\nA big man, crying to himself with snot and tears, that he really likes Hua
Zizhou, no matter how he thinks about it, Qu Qing still feels angry.\nEveryone watching the interaction between the two of them laughed, Jiang Zhu
grinned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the food in his
mouth.\nQu Qing burst into laughter, and the cold face just now couldn't hold anymore.
He patted Jiang Orion on the shoulder and said, "Look, you laughed out your
son's teeth."\nHua Zizhou next to him comforted: "Jiang Zhu, it's alright, the child's teeth
change is normal, is it the upper teeth or the lower teeth? Throw the upper
teeth under the bed and the lower teeth on the roof, so that the teeth will
grow neatly and beautifully."\nAfter hearing this, Jiang Zhu put down the tableware, pulled the cat, and
happily went out and threw his teeth at the roof.\n"Let's go." After eating, Jiang Liehu patted his belly, dragged his son, and
walked back slowly, and before leaving, he winked at Qu Qing.\nQu Qing rolled his eyes at him.\nSuddenly there was only one family left at home, and the atmosphere became
tense inexplicably.\nWhile Hua Zizhou was packing, Qu Qing prepared the class for tomorrow, and
then felt restless and wanted to clean up, but the house was neat and
spotless, and he could hardly find a place to start.\nTo do something, he sat back in his chair.\nnight……\nBrother... how are you going to do it?\nHe was very nervous at first. Although he had some understanding of the
theory, he had no practical experience after all, but when he saw the
nervousness of Hua Zizhou, he immediately became less nervous.\nIn the end, he found clean clothes and took the two of them to the bathhouse
by the stream as usual. He heated the water first, but washed himself with
cold water first. Anyway, it was approaching summer, so he was not afraid.
cold.\nAfter going out, he asked Hua Zizhou and Mao'er to hand over the changed
clothes. After waiting for a while, looking at Hua Zizhou's slender and fair
wrists, Qu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly realized that he seemed
to be a little angry now, so he quickly took the clothes. Just look away.\nAfterwards, he washed the dirty clothes in the cool stream, and let himself
cool down by touching the contact point.\nHearing the voice outside, Hua Zizhou said uneasily: "Sir, let me wash the
clothes, your hands should be used for reading and writing, you should not do
these things."\nQu Qing's hands didn't stop: "Stop talking nonsense, wash your hands quickly."\nSeeing that he didn't listen, Hua Zizhou hurriedly accelerated the bathing
speed, thinking that he should hurry up and wash the clothes later, grab the
clothes and wash them by himself. It will make people laugh.\nThis time, Hua Zizhou came out twice as fast as before, but it was a pity to
see that Qu Qing had already washed all the clothes.\nSeeing him coming out, Qu Qing picked up the basin with wet clothes, two big
and one small, and walked home slowly, accompanied by Hua Zizhou's soft
whisper.\n"Sir, in the future, leave the laundry to me, so that others will see it."\nQu Qing said: "It's not often like this, and no one has seen it. Besides, what
do you mean by my hand being the hand that reads and writes? Hua Zizhou, don't
try to escape the homework I gave you."\nHua Zizhou looked embarrassed and said at a loss: "Although this is the case,
in case..."\nThe sky is getting darker, all the birds are returning to the forest, and a
few smokes from the roofs of the houses in the distance on the opposite side
are slowly dissipating like the last ray of sunset on the horizon.\nQu Qing's heart also calmed down. When he returned home, he and Hua Zizhou
took out the wet clothes and hung them on the bamboo poles in the yard to dry.\nAfter drying, Qu Qing clapped his hands and looked around at the chickens,
ducks, fish and dogs raised in the cage in his yard. There were unfinished
knitting in the corner. A thatched cottage.\nIt's like a small home, but it's not enough.\nIt's not enough, he needs to earn a family business, at least enough for Hua
Zizhou to live with the cat for a lifetime without worry.\nHe has already decided to take up this responsibility, so there is no room for
him to choose to let it go.\nAt night, the cat was determined to sleep with them, and Hua Zizhou was
embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Tonight, he had been looking forward
to it for a long time, the most important consummation.\nHe looked at Qu Qing for help, but Qu Qing didn't seem to care. He smiled and
agreed to the cat. The family of three lay down side by side, with the cat
sleeping in the middle.\nHua Zizhou was full of anger, and there was a bit of disappointment in his
eyes. He thought to himself, maybe Qu Qing really didn't care about him that
much, but he just didn't want him to leave, so there would be fewer people in
the family who were busy with him.\nQu Qing could see his emotions, but he didn't open his mouth to comfort him.
Instead, he said without thinking: "I have to go to school tomorrow morning."\nHua Zizhou was even more angry, thinking that this must be a deliberate
refusal to delay, he pouted and said sullenly: "Understood, I will go to bed
early."\nQu Qing was stunned, then smiled heartily. That's not what he meant, it's
really misunderstood.\nKitten grabbed the quilt obediently, raised her eyes and asked, "Dad, what are
you laughing at?"\n"You father and son are so cute, so I couldn't help laughing happily. Go to
sleep now, kitten. Daddy and Daddy are with you. Good night." A goodnight kiss
fell on his forehead.\nThe cat couldn't stop grinning happily. He liked sleeping in the middle like
this the most. It made him feel like the happiest child in the world. He was
protected by someone on his left and right, so he wouldn't be cold or worry
about falling out of bed.\nHe got up and imitated Qu Qing, kissed Qu Qing, turned around and kissed Hua
Zizhou again: "Dad, Daddy, good night."\nHua Zizhou also said good night to him, looking at the cat closing his eyes
with a smile on the corner of his mouth, while he was happy, he couldn't help
but feel a strong jealousy.\nQu Qing only kissed the cat, and only said goodnight to the cat, what is he?\nQu Qing didn't even say a word to him. Was the promise yesterday still a lie
to him?\nJust when he was feeling uneasy and irritable, Qu Qing next to him called him
softly, "Zizhou."\n"Yeah." For a moment, he wanted to pretend that he was asleep, but he couldn't
help but respond softly, but the emotion in his voice was not high.\n"You didn't blame me? What happened yesterday... Looking back on it later, I
also feel that my behavior yesterday was too extreme, making you sad. I'm
sorry." Qu Qing stretched out his hand and brushed the strands of hair beside
his ear, and said softly.\nHua Zizhou felt sour and choked up slightly: "You don't need to apologize to
me, it's my fault that you are so good to me, I know you are doing it for me
and the cat, I only blame myself for not being able to live up to your
expectations and not being able to please you. "\nQu Qing put his hand on his face and sighed softly: "You, why are you not
liking me, it's clearly..."\n"What is it?" Hua Zizhou asked curiously.\nQu Qing didn't say anything, he suddenly lifted the quilt carefully and got
up, and said without end, "The cat is asleep."\nWhat if you fell asleep?\nJust as Hua Zizhou was about to say this, he reacted suddenly, the cat fell
asleep, doesn't this imply that they can do bad things?\nHis face was flushed, and he didn't know how to react.\nSeeing that he didn't move, Qu Qing got out of bed, stood beside the bed,
stretched out his hand and said to him, "Give me your hand."\nHua Zizhou slowly gave him the land of his hand. It was clearly something he
had been looking forward to for a long time, but now, he was suddenly hesitant
to be afraid.\nQu Qing saw it, took his hand, pulled the other person into his arms, and said
in his ear: "Don't be afraid, hold me tight, shall we go next door?"\nAfter he finished speaking, he was worried that Hua Zizhou was not completely
ready, so he said again: "If you are really afraid and feel that you are not
ready, then stop. We will consider this matter later, after all, you are still
young."\nAs soon as Hua Zizhou heard this, he immediately wrapped his arms around Qu
Qing's neck tightly, and said angrily in Qu Qing's ear again and again, "I'm
not too young, sir."\nQu Qing laughed lowly in Hua Zizhou's ear, moved his hand, and went next door
with Hua Zizhou in his arms.\n"I have to go to school tomorrow morning." Qu Qing sighed again when he put
Hua Zizhou on the bed.\nHua Zizhou still didn't understand the real meaning of his words.\nAt the back, he could no longer bear it, and after crying and begging for
several times, Qu Qing reluctantly let go of him, dressed him, took him back,
and went to sleep.\nWhen he was tired and fell asleep in Qu Qing's arms, he suddenly realized the
meaning of Qu Qing's words, he has to go to school tomorrow, so he can only
let you go...\nHua Zizhou's face suddenly became hot again.\nThe next day, Qu Qing had already woken up before Mao'er found out that his
position had been changed.\nHe felt refreshed as never before, Hua Zizhou also woke up, Qu Qing kissed the
corner of his mouth: "You are allowed to take a leave today, you can rest at
home, I will take the cat to school later."\n"No, I'm going too." Hua Zizhou sat up all of a sudden, but he didn't know
where he met, and he gasped for air.\nQu Qing sat on the edge of the bed and hugged him halfway, and said, "Look, so
don't go, have a good rest, be good."\nHua Zizhou pulled his sleeve and said weakly, "I want to follow you."\nSeeing that Qu Qing was also hesitating, he hurriedly said again and again:
"Anyway, I'm just sitting there, I don't need to do any work, I'm fine..."\nQu Qing couldn't be bothered by him, but he finally agreed. When he went to
class, Hua Zizhou looked sleepy, and halfway through the class, he couldn't
help lying on the table and fell into a deep sleep.\nJust as the children who noticed next to them were about to loudly remind
someone to sleep in class, Qu Qing put his index finger to his lips and made a
shush gesture.\nThe child who was about to speak was immediately silenced, and the others who
wanted to whisper and make small gestures also quieted down.\nQu Qing lowered her voice slightly and said to all the students, "Mother is a
little uncomfortable, please don't bother him, okay?"\nThe students nodded one after another, and the class after that was
unbelievably quiet. Only Qu Qing's low-pitched speech, which could be heard by
everyone, rang out in the classroom.\nZhao Xuan'er looked at this scene fascinatedly, envy and loss, and finally
relieved.\nShe thought, this is probably love.
