leisurely farming life

The building of the house was officially started, but Cheng Qing was even more idle, neither side needed him, Wang Zhili left early and returned late, Cheng Qing wanted to cook a chicken for him, and ended up having breakfast in the kitchen, but Xiaoyun kicked him out, so he had to run errands Yes, go to build the house and deliver food to Wang Zhili.

"Is it delicious?" Building a house is the most messy, there is no place to sit, and Cheng Qing feels that he is dragging everyone down, so it is not easy for people to get up and move stools;

I gave him a seat, and then squatted with Wang Zhili in a slightly cleaner corner of the room, eating quietly.

Wang Zhili nodded: "Well, it's delicious. Have you eaten it? I think it's a whole chicken. Why did you bring it to me?"

"You are so tired every day, I want to do something for you." Cheng Qing said disappointedly: "I thought I could cook soup for you myself, but I almost blew up the kitchen, so in the end it was Xiaoyun who did it." Yes. I am so useless! Not to mention I can’t help you at all, and I always get you guys in trouble..."

Cheng Qing lowered his head guiltily. Wang Zhili knew that Cheng Qing had been really unhappy recently, and he thought he was unhappy about something, but he didn't expect it to be because of this.

"You helped me take good care of Xiaoshan, isn't that considered a help?"

"Then how can it be counted? Xiaoshan is my son. Isn't it natural for me to take care of him? Besides, I just accompany him to and from school, and I just accompany him to write, and the rest of my daily life is also Xiaoyun. Take care of me, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father at all..."

"Cheng Qing, do you know that my uncles say that about me?" Wang Zhili put down his chopsticks and asked Cheng Qing to look up at him.

Cheng Qing shook his head: "What?"

"They said, how much virtue I, Wang Zhili, had accumulated in my previous life, was able to marry a good husband like you in this life. They said they regretted letting their own son come to propose marriage. If so, such a good husband would belong to their family... ..."

Wang Zhili said seriously: "Everyone knows you are good, and everyone knows that you are good to me. So, you have really helped me a lot, so don't think about it in the future, okay?"

Cheng Qing didn't know whether Wang Zhili was comforting him or if he really thought that way, but thinking that Wang Zhili was so tired and worried about his affairs, no matter what, he couldn't justify it, so he nodded and helped him pick up the chopsticks , let him continue to eat.

After Wang Zhili drank two more bowls of chicken soup, he couldn't finish it. Seeing that there was still half a pot of chicken soup left, Cheng Qing felt worried.

It's not good for Wang Zhili to give the leftovers to others. He himself doesn't like to eat such greasy food, and it's a pity to throw it away. When he was feeling worried, Wang Xiaoshan ran into the house.

"Dad, dad, Sister Xiaoyun said you came here, where are you?" Wang Xiaoshan started yelling as soon as he entered the door, and the uncles who were eating and talking over there all pointed to the corner and nested together in a joke Xiao Shan thanked the two of them and ran to Cheng Qing's side.

"Xiaoshan? Why are you here? Aren't you going to school today?" Wang Xiaoshan squatted in front of the two of them, startling Cheng Qing, and said in surprise.

"My master has something to do today, so I have a day off." Wang Xiaoshan looked at the pot of chicken soup without blinking, and said aggrievedly, "Dad, I'm so hungry."

"Then finish these." Wang Zhili handed the bowl to Wang Xiaoshan, and said to Cheng Qing: "I'll go to work in the back first, you hurry back to eat."

"Xiao Shan, the leftovers from your father's food..." Cheng Qing looked at Wang Xiaoshan who had already devoured it, and said nothing: "Then I will leave after Xiao Shan finishes eating."

"Father, I can help here too. You can go back to eat first, and I will take all the pots and bowls back."

Wang Xiaoshan said while swallowing.

Cheng Qing can also think about it: "Well, you are not allowed to do too tiring things, you can beat him up, and go home when you are tired, you know?"

"Ok!"

When Cheng Qing returned home, Xiao Yun didn't see Xiao Shan, so he asked suspiciously, "Where is Xiao Shan? I went looking for you, did you not come across him?"

"He stays there to help, leave him alone."

"Hey, let's have dinner, the dishes are ready."

"it is good……"

After eating, Cheng Qing seemed to have nothing to do again. He was really bored, so he took out a book that he hadn't read for a long time from the small study, and read it seriously.

Reading is indeed Cheng Qing's favorite daily pastime. Looking at it, the sun is about to set.

"Xiaoyun, you cook the food, I'll call Wang Zhili and Xiaoshan back."

"Hey, don't worry, my lord."

Just as Cheng Qing got up to go out, an unexpected visitor came to the house.

"Master Chen?" After Xiao Shan studied hard, Cheng Qing didn't see Master Chen much, but he didn't forget his appearance.

Master Chen stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Would it be convenient for you to invite me in?"

"Of course." Cheng Qing hurriedly invited Master Chen into the room.Master Chen is a sage in Wangjia Village. He has taught for nearly 50 years. Many people in the village are his students, and he is especially respected by the villagers.

After Xiaoyun brought the tea, Cheng Qing greeted Mrs. Chen with a smile: "This is old tea, but it tastes quite fragrant. I heard Mrs. Chen likes to drink tea, how about tasting it?"

Master Chen nodded: "Okay..."

He took a sip, and the tea aroma lingered in his mouth: "Well, it's really good tea."

Cheng Qing smiled: "If Master Chen likes it, I'll get someone to wrap a bag later, and the master can take it away when he leaves."

"Good tea needs good taste. I'm getting old, and I really can't feel the taste." Master Chen waved his hand: "You should keep this tea for yourself. You are also a tea lover. I think you are more tea-loving than me." For these teas."

"Master, you are being polite." Cheng Qing said, "Is it because Xiao Shan caused trouble in the private school again and made Master unhappy? You tell me, I will definitely teach Xiao Shan a lesson."

"It's not Xiaoshan. Xiaoshan has been well-behaved a lot under your upbringing. I know that neither you nor Zhili want him to be a scholar, but with Xiaoshan's current qualifications, it's not a bad idea to take the examination for a scholar."

"Master, I love you. Zhili and I really don't have the intention." Cheng Qing said embarrassingly. Take the roof off."

Master Chen smiled and said, "That's true, that's fine."

"Yes, but Master is not here for Xiaoshan, who is it for?"

"For you."

Cheng Qing asked suspiciously, "Me?"

"Yes." Master Chen said, "I've never liked to beat around the bush, so I'll just say it straight."

"You say……"

"I have a student who is a well-known benevolent person in Cheng'an Town. His surname is Chu. He came to me suddenly today and said he wanted to ask me to come to you to introduce his son, Chuying."

Mrs. Chen said unhurriedly: "Chu Ying is the only son of my student, a twin. He was clever since childhood, but he is only a twin. It's not that Chu Yuanwai doesn't like Shuang, but he has high hopes for Chu Ying, even Since I was a child, I invited a special teacher to go to the house to teach Chuying knowledge.

However, most of the teachers are men, and the knowledge they teach becomes less and less suitable for Shuang'er. Outside the beginners, he starts to worry. He asks everyone's Shuang'er to teach Chuying, but there is no result.

However, he found out about you by accident one day, so he came to see me, hoping that I would be a lobbyist so that you could teach Chuying the next knowledge. Don't worry, the salary will definitely not be less.What do you think? "

"Master, I'm just joking. I'm just an ordinary Shuang'er. How can I be the teacher of Shuang'er, a newcomer?"

"I'm not sure if others can do it, but because it's you, I agreed to come down and help him as a lobbyist."

Cheng Qing said distressedly: "This..."

Master Chen was considerate: "You don't have to answer me now, you can discuss it with Zhili. It might be a good thing for you."

"how do I say this?"

"You are Shuang'er, so you should understand that even if Shuang'er's status rises a bit, I'm afraid he will be looked down upon by others. Chuying is a good boy, gentle, well-behaved and sensible. I think if he follows your example, he will definitely learn some good things. This is a good thing.

After you marry Zhili, you are a husband, and there are servants behind you to help you. I think you should be doing nothing every day.

That being the case, it can be regarded as finding an errand for you, which is the second good thing.The wages given to the first-timers are definitely not low. At that time, you can still use the wages to subsidize your family. This is the third good thing. "

Master Chen said that, Cheng Qing felt that it was very reasonable, and he didn't want to refuse in person, so he had to say that he would think about it again and give the news in a few days.

Cheng Qing sat on the bed in a daze after taking a shower, and Wang Zhili also entered the room after washing. Seeing Cheng Qing in a daze, he thought he was still worrying about his useless things, and when he didn't know how to persuade him, Cheng Qing said Mr. Chen told me about how he came to get rid of it today.

"So, do you think I'm going to accept this student?" Cheng Qing lay down distressed: "Actually, I don't really dislike this matter, I'm just worried that I will teach that child badly and ruin it." The child is not good."

Wang Zhili: "You won't teach a child badly, do you want to teach that child?"

"I can't say whether I want to or not... The main thing is that Mr. Chen is right. He is a Shuang'er. Now Shuang'er is the only one who can seriously teach Shuang'er wholeheartedly, but I don't know if I can do it..."

"You can." Wang Zhili said firmly, "I think you can."

Cheng Qing looked at Wang Zhili and asked, "Do you want me to teach that child?"

"I also think what the master said is right. Did you tell me today that you have nothing to do? It's okay to find something for yourself to do.

Besides, teaching and educating people is, in the end, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Chu Yuanwai is a well-known good person. If we help others, we can be regarded as good people. "

"You think so?"

Wang Zhili nodded: "Besides, it won't be too tiring for you, I think it's pretty good."

Now that Wang Zhili had agreed, Cheng Qing didn't think too much about it anymore: "Alright then, I'll talk to Master tomorrow."

"Well, but if you're tired, don't force it."
