The husband's son-in-law

It is said that Li Da was driving an ox cart, and went back to the empty car on the road briskly, and set off before dawn. After a break at noon, he would feed the mules with food and grass, eat steamed stuffed buns and drink a few mouthfuls of cold water. The sky in Xiping Village is still bright, but not completely dark.

There were children playing at the door in the village, and the adults came out and called the children back to the house for dinner, and they saw Li Da come back at a glance.Naturally, he put the meal aside first, and asked Li Da curiously.

Why did you come back alone?

Are Zhou Zhou and Gu Shulang not coming back from staying in the prefecture?

How is the prefecture?It is said that people in prefectures and counties dress well and live in good houses.

Li Da didn't talk much, and in the past, he didn't gather around women to chat about right and wrong. This is the end of the story. Li Da couldn't hold back when he heard this, he yelled to stop the mule from moving, got off the cart, and said, "What's the matter? , The roof of that broken courtyard leaks, and it costs 11 taels of silver a year."

"Bought it? 11 leaking houses, that's not expensive, just fix it."

"It was rented." Li Da said, "Buy? Can't afford it."

The question was speechless, no way, just a broken and leaky house, is it possible that you need 100 taels of silver?But before he asked in detail, Li Da took the mule cart back to the house, but he had to go back to his house quickly when he was full of words, and let the man ask Li Da tomorrow.

Li Da went back to the village, and when it got dark, the whole village knew about it, and also knew that Li Da had rented a dilapidated yard with a rain leak. As soon as the news spread, some people didn't believe it, and retorted: "How is it possible, Li Da?" Uncle’s family has 100 taels of silver, how could it be possible to rent a leaky house? He must be a servant.”

"If you don't believe me, you can ask yourself tomorrow. Uncle Li said it himself."

Although there are many uncles and aunts in the village who gather to talk about the right and wrong, when Li Da's family goes to the prefecture, the men in the village are also curious, what is the prefecture like?In the past, I only heard Li Er and his wife talk, but everyone knows that Li Er and his wife like to brag, and they just pick up beautiful words to brag about.

There are so many prefectures and counties, that bastard Li San is very capable.

Finally?

So how can he send his parents to beg for rice if he has great ability?

So the next morning, the men had breakfast and went to the fields. The wheat was about to come down, so they cleaned up the paddy fields in advance, and lived well. When the time came, the wheat was harvested and the rice was planted, so there was no need to panic.

Li Da is the same, he has been away for almost ten days, thinking about the crops in his field, sleeping on the kang last night is fragrant, woke up in the morning and cooked a handful of multigrain porridge, and made pancakes later.After breakfast, he went out to the fields with the rake on his shoulder.

There is nothing expensive in the house now, and the courtyard door is closed without locking it.

The weather was cool in the morning, and the men in the fields went to work. I met them on the road and asked them to ask if it sounded true.

Li Da: "There is no mistake in the transmission."

"You still rent 11 taels of silver a year for the leaky yard?" the man in the village exclaimed.

Why is it so expensive.

"Is the yard big?"

Li Da shook his head, "It's so open, it's not as big as half the size of your front yard. It's good to have a look at it first, it's precious, it costs 20 taels a year, Zhao'er said that he ran out of money in a few years because it was expensive to study and live. , I found a cheap one later, with four main houses, smaller than the main house built in our village, and two side houses, and it was gone.”

"It costs 11 taels? Put it in our village, and we can build a new blue brick house with another two or three taels."

It's faster than that.

"Isn't that right, I don't sleep on the kang, I sleep on the bed. I think the bed is small, and there are still feet to lie on it, so I ordered one, one and two halves." Li Da continued.

"Why is the bed so expensive, only one or two halves?"

The two were talking, and after a while, other men who were going to work in the field also surrounded them.

Come to hear how life is in the prefecture.

"Everything costs money, and you need money to buy drinking water. Fortunately, there is a well in the yard." Li Da really didn't think that life in the prefecture and county was any better. He felt at ease when he stepped on the soil on the ridge of the field, and said, "Why? It took so long to come back? The yard is too dilapidated, I bought bricks there and Zhou Zhou repaired it myself, otherwise there would be no room for people.”

The men in the village felt that there was nothing good in the prefecture and county, so they asked Li Dana to just come back.

"I don't worry about being alone in the prefecture and county on Monday. Zhao'er goes to study during the day. I have to watch if something happens." Li Da said and went to work in the field.

Later, I went back to eat at noon and talked about the news I heard in the morning.

"...The broken yard is still selling for 120 taels, how can the Li family dare to buy it? They are all rented."

"I thought the Li family went to the prefecture to enjoy the blessings, but what I heard now is not as comfortable as in the village."

"No, it's more than 100 taels, and renting a house for a year costs about ten taels. Gu Shulang took the exam twice when he was at home, and took the exam once at Li's house. He studied for three years. I heard that being a scholar is easy. What's the next test? It's even more difficult for a master, you can't take the exam for seven or eight years, how can the money stand up to the fuss."

This is true.

Zhao Xiucai from Dongping Village is still a scholar after taking the exam for more than ten years.

"I thought that if I passed the examination of a scholar, I would be able to enjoy a better life than our peasants. I didn't expect that the life in the prefecture and county would be tight. If we had 100 taels, we would rent a yard in Hefu County. It would be a waste of money year after year. How nice it is to buy a field and build a house."

"That's right, the harvest in the field is good now, and it's not difficult for those who raise pigs and chickens in the backyard to eat meat."

In this way, I think it is better to be in the village. It seems that Li's family is not so enviable after going to the prefecture.People in the village felt that Li Da's family went to the prefecture and county to lose money. Now that Zhou Zhou and Gu Shulang are not here, Li Da is a single man in the village, and his life is really pitiful. Do you want.

Of course that's good.Li Dan exchanged flour for steamed buns.

Li Er's family, together with Brother Xing'er's family, sometimes made meat stewed chicken, and sent Guangzong and Wang Shitou to Li Daduan.

Therefore, Li Da's life in the village is not too difficult.

In the county.

The yard bought by Li's family in Shiliu Lane is the first alley at the beginning, and there are three more alleys behind it.Entering through the back door of Li's Courtyard, there is a dead wall directly opposite, and the back of the second alley, so there are more than 20 households in the whole alley, all of which open the door on one side, which is relatively simple.

If the courtyard door is facing the courtyard door, it will be noisy.

Before dawn in the morning, Li Zhouzhou got up and got dressed. As soon as he got up, the man who was sleeping inside also woke up, rubbing his eyes, Li Zhouzhou saw that he was cute, and said softly: "I guess it's still early, Mr. Go back to sleep, and I'll make breakfast."

"No, I don't have a watch. It's better to go to school early on the first day of today." Gu Zhao sat up.

Li Zhouzhou got off the ground and took the robe and handed it to Mr. Gu Zhaoren, who almost woke up, said, "I'll put it on after breakfast." He was wearing his underwear now, and Zhou Zhou and he were the only ones at home who had nothing to do.

"cold."

"Touch Zhou Zhou, it's not cold~" Gu Zhao handed his hand to his wife to touch, and said coquettishly, "The school uniform has wide sleeves, so it's inconvenient to eat breakfast. If it spills on it, it must be untidy."

Gu Zhao didn't like wide-sleeved robes. In the past, the robes in the village had a torticollis, and the cuffs were made narrower, which was looser than modern clothes. However, it is not troublesome to roll up several layers for activities.Of course, he still likes to wear Zhou Zhou's bunt, which is more comfortable and comfortable.

But it won't work in prefectures and counties, just look at the style of school uniforms.The gowns with narrow cuffs will be laughed at by other scholars and scholars, because the narrow cuffs are unorthodox, and it seems that poor people also make them to save fabrics for the convenience of work.

Scholars are lofty, regardless of whether your family has money or not, first raise yourself up.

Wide-sleeved blue cloth gown, wearing a black square scarf.This is standard school uniform.Nowadays, the most common dress standard for scholars is Confucian orthodox.

Li Zhouzhou put away the scholar's robe, took his own brown coat and handed it to the husband, "You just woke up, it's still warm, it's cold outside, you need to wear it."

"Listen to your wife." Gu Zhao obediently put on bunts, without any straps.

It was still dark outside. When I was in the village, I just watched the sun and listened to the crowing of cocks to judge the time. Even if I missed the hour, it was no big deal. Now it was different. Gu Zhao had to go to school, so it was better not to be late.

One of the two fetched water, the other made a stove, and began to cook porridge and hot pancakes with rice.Li Zhouzhou's pancakes were steamed the day before. If they are heated overnight today, they will still be ready, and they will be ready in the morning.

After a while, the yellow rice porridge was ready, the pickles were cut into a bowl, and served with pancakes.

The washbasin shelf for washing is placed under the eaves of the main house. It is convenient to wash and pour water in the morning. After brushing teeth, washing face and tidying up, the two of them sat at the table and had breakfast.After eating, Gu Zhao began to change his school uniform, shouting, "Zhou Zhou, help me tie my hat, I can't tie it on the back."

Li Zhouzhou hurried forward to put on the headscarf for Xianggong. Seeing that the robe was wrinkled, he smoothed it out with his hands.

"Msg's schoolbag."

Gu Zhao: "Yes, I almost forgot my schoolbag."

In the past, Gu Zhao used to use modern words when speaking. Li Zhouzhou couldn't understand at first, but then he gradually understood the meaning, and now he speaks like his husband.

Gu Zhao took the schoolbag and kissed his wife on the cheek, "I'm going to school."

"Okay." Li Zhouzhou sent Mr. Xiang out of the courtyard gate.

It was only then daylight outside.

Gu Zhao walked fast on the road and didn't dare to delay. It took about 20 minutes to see the stone tablet of the academy, and it took about half an hour to walk to the school gate.

At this time, there were also day-students at the door, and under the stone sign stood a teacher who checked his appearance. The walk-around students handed the wooden sign to the teacher, and the teacher let him go after checking.It's almost like in modern high school, the director of the Political and Educational Office was in charge of grooming and discipline at the school gate early in the morning, and he didn't mean to wear a school badge to prevent entry.

Gu Zhao handed over the sign and bowed like the scholar in front and said good morning, master.

"Come in." The master handed the sign back after checking.

Gu Zhao just entered the gate and went up the steps.When he walked up the steps, there was a bell booth under the pine tree next to the steps. Students in school uniforms were ringing the bell three times. Gu Zhao asked the time, and it was only [-]:[-].

Dang, clang, clang, the quaint bronze bell resounded throughout Qingping Academy.

This is a reminder for students who are still in the dormitory to prepare for class.

Qingping Academy has a total of six classes, three classes are a progress, and then ranked A, B, C according to the results.For example, Qing Jia is the scholar who passed the exam before the progress, Gu Zhao’s last two exams, and his grades are all lin students, Qing Yi is supergene, and Qing C is epiphyte.

It is also impossible for government schools that if you fail to pass the exam, it will be free for you to study continuously. If you study for ten or eight years, that is of course impossible.Everything has a time limit.

Three years and two exams, the bottom line is six years.

After studying for six years and failing to pass the exam four times, then pack your bags and leave school to make room for the newcomers.

Gu Zhao's class is Pingjia.It's almost the first grade class.

Zhu Xiucai passed the exam two classes earlier than him, that is, the second grade, the class starting with Qing characters, and then divided according to the grades, either Qing B or Qing C.

Gu Zhao found his class seat and sat down. He took out the books, pens, inkstones, and ink ingots and put them on the table, when someone came up to greet him, saying that he had been here for several days, and he finally met someone from the same class. No. Where is the family and how are the people.

"..."

Facing the classmate of the same class who checked the household registration, Gu Zhao smiled enthusiastically and said, "I just saw that you are familiar with the classmate, and you seem to have met somewhere. I wonder if you have taken the same exam as me?"

"Will it? My ancestors are all from Ping'an Town. My surname is Zheng Minghui. I was 44 years old. Kang Jing participated in it in [-]..."

Classmate Zheng explained in detail, from outside his home, how many times did he take the exams for children and scholars, and how many times he got the exam this year, and he was ranked sixth.

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhao was about to reply, when the bell rang, he said regretfully, "I'll have a detailed talk with Brother Zheng at noon."

"Okay." Zheng Hui also returned to his seat.

After sitting down, Zheng Hui didn't find it strange that the master came in for class after a while.Obviously he was the one who asked the new classmate first, but in the end he didn't even know the name of the new classmate.

Pomegranate Alley Li Family Courtyard.

After Mr. Li Zhouzhou went out, he cleaned up the breakfast pots and bowls first, and then he was alone in the yard, which was empty. After a short silence, he went into the house and took hemp rope out, and tied the rope in the yard. Dry the bedding and wash the clothes.

But this job is simple, I have washed everything that should be disassembled and washed in the first two days.

It didn't take long to finish everything, and Li Zhouzhou was free again.Now that the yard does not raise pigs or chickens, there is no need to mow pigweed, nor to go to the river to fetch water. I used to be able to talk to Xing Geer when I went to the river to wash clothes, but now I am alone.

Li Zhouzhou stood in the yard in a daze for a while, staring at his hands. He didn't even have to do farm work if he didn't feed pigs and chickens. The old man who praised him before was gone. He was an idler in the village.

How could that be possible.

Li Zhouzhou felt bad, but didn't know what to do.He grew up in Xiping Village since he was a child. He went out of the courtyard to go shopping in the town. This is the first time he came to Fu County. It is so big and there are so many people here. They are all strangers. If he is asked to go out alone, to be honest, Li Zhou Zhou was a little scared.

Across the wooden door of the yard, there was the sound of children chirping outside.

"Sanniang, Sanniang, don't be mad at me, I brought you red bean buns, it's so sweet."

"My mother said, don't let me eat your food."

In the empty shop with a front door, there was also the sound of bustling business next door, with a few vague words about red bean paste buns that came out of the oven after the three cents had been collected.There was also a woman who shouted Xiaowen touched a bean paste bun and didn't know where she went.

A man replied: "If you eat it, you eat it. What's the matter? Mom, that's your grandson."

"I don't feel sorry for my grandson. What can I say after eating Xiaowen? It's not that I don't know who to take it for."

It was louder.

Standing in the courtyard, Li Zhouzhou heard it clearly, and followed what happened yesterday.The shop next door sells buns and steamed buns, whose surname is Xu.The kid who used worms to scare Mrs. Zhang's wife yesterday was Xu Wenbin, and he should be the grandson of the old woman next door.

Next to Xu's is Zhang's, who sells vinegar.

On the other side of his house is a seller of sesame cakes and wontons. I don't know their last name yet.

It was this noise and yelling that called Li Zhouzhou over.I used to move to the Pan base with my father. At that time, I slept in a thatched house on the ground. At night, the wind was blowing, and it sounded like a ghost screaming. Those aunts and uncles even deliberately teased him, telling him what ghosts scream at night. , just to catch the child.

He was so scared at that time that he dared not close his eyes to sleep, and even peed his pants.

Later, he was not afraid, and he didn't know why he was not afraid. Maybe he missed his father during the day, and he had to work, and he was hungry when he slept. If he thought about what to eat, he would not be afraid of those ghosts.

Later, father had to be busy with crop work in the field, there was a lack of salt in the house, and the clothes were torn and seamed and could not be put on anymore. Father was busy in the field alone, and he would not see meat when he came back to the house. After a delicious meal, he bravely went to the town alone.

At that time, he was thirteen, and he went to the town for the first time to buy salt and meat.

At that time, he was afraid on the road and panicked when shopping, for fear that someone would snatch or cheat him of his meat and salt.But when he came back from his first trip, there was salt in the house, and his father could make up for it, so Li Zhouzhou was not so afraid when he went to town for the second time.

Now in the prefecture and county, it's just a little bigger than the town, so what are you afraid of?

Besides, he is now much older than 13 years old.I really can't find my way back. If I can ask someone, he still knows where Xianggong Academy is.Why hide in the yard and not go out.

Li Zhouzhou figured it out, washed his hands, went to the house to get some money, locked the courtyard door, and planned to go outside for a walk, instead of running too much, he went to the main street ahead to have a look.

See how the people in the prefecture and county live.

The main street is bustling with people selling food at the front door, and hawker stalls opposite, but the business is diverted. The stalls buy hair ropes, purses, ribbons, or soy milk and tofu brains, as well as vegetables. .

Every time Li Zhouzhou sees the vegetable sellers, they are always fresh, because the vegetable sellers who carry the burden here can pick vegetables, clean up the soil under the vegetables, and pick the wrinkled leaves, like wombs, used to be in the backyard. There is a kind, just pull it out if you want to eat it, I haven't bought it yet.

Now a dozen or so cabbage here cost three Wen.

Li Zhouzhou was naturally concerned about money, and the side of the yard at home was empty, but it could be cleaned up and planted with cabbage, cucumbers, green onions and garlic and other small things.

I don't know where the seeds are sold.

"Gu Xiucai's husband."

At the Zhangji Vinegar Shop, Mrs. Zhou saw the husband whom she had seen yesterday, but just after shouting, she realized, what is his name, Mrs. Gu Xiucai? weekly."

Although the other party is a brother and married, but after all, there is still a gap between men and women, so it's not easy to call him Zhou Zhou, it's too close.It is enough to call Li Fulang, but Mrs. Zhou thinks that Mr. Li Zhou is a scholar, and wants to get closer to the two families.

Li Zhouzhou heard the sound and stepped forward.

There are no customers in the vinegar shop to buy vinegar now, so Mrs. Zhou guards the shop alone, and the men make vinegar behind.

"Hello Mrs. Zhang."

"Well." Zhou replied with a smile on her face, and asked, "What do you want to buy when you're out shopping?"

Li Zhouzhou asked where there was a seed seller, and wanted to buy some seeds.

"Hey, you still have this spare time. You are the husband of a scholar. Thinking about Qingfu, why do you still want to grow vegetables?" Mrs. Zhou enthusiastically pointed the way after saying the polite words.

When Li Zhou left on Monday, the man came in to deliver vinegar and asked what he had just said.

"Not the one I told you about yesterday."

"Scholarly son-in-law?"

"No, it's his husband, surnamed Li." Mrs. Zhou held hands, and the man carried a big vinegar jar to add to the outside, and said, "You said that you have all come to study in prefectures and counties, and people still think about it." Grow vegetables in the yard, don’t wait for the time to hug a brood of chickens, the chirping chicken shit is smelly.”

The man said: "People from the countryside can't change their habits."

There are a lot of chickens raised in the prefecture and county, and more than half of them are raised in Pomegranate Lane. It is convenient to eat eggs on weekdays, and it is also good to eat meat after raising them.

Mrs. Zhou thought it was troublesome and refused to raise them. Besides, there were only three girls in her family, and the family was relaxed, and she didn't have to spend that much effort to clean up chicken shit. She just wanted to talk about it, so what about being a scholar, and her life is not as good as her family's.

According to the road Auntie Zhang pointed out, it is in the east.

Li Zhouzhou felt more and more familiar as he walked. Later, he saw that this was the inn where Mr. Xiang lived during his exams. There was also a study next to it, and Mr. Xiang came here to read books before.

The seed shop is a small shop in the alley.

Li Zhouzhou bought the seeds and was not in a hurry to go back. There was a clothing store a few steps away from the study when he came out of the alley.Li Zhouzhou went in and found out after asking, that not everyone can buy it.

"Bring the academy brand to buy."

"My husband is studying in the academy, so we came here." Li Zhouzhou said.

The clerk in the store became more enthusiastic, and said: "It turns out that I am a scholar husband. The academy is dressed alone, in case some of the scholar's clothes are stained or damaged, so I come here to buy them, and they can also be changed and washed. no?"

"You can do it with two bodies, and there are ready-made ones. How tall is the husband of the Lang family?"

Li Zhouzhou waved his hand and said, "You don't need to order now, I want to ask you that the clothes here hang flat, without any folds, how do you do it?"

The clerk in the store brought out the copper ironing pot and said that the single clothes would heat the water inside, and if it was thicker, it would release carbon. A copper ironing pot is expensive and you can’t buy it. You can use porcelain, but porcelain is easy to break and crack. , nor can it hold carbon.

Li Zhouzhou thanked him, thinking that he had a big teapot at home and could use that.

He didn't buy anything, and the clerks in the store also saw off the customers with a smile. Li Zhouzhou was a little embarrassed, but he felt that not everyone in the prefecture and county looked down on others, and there were good ones.

In fact, it's the same everywhere.Li Zhouzhou thought on the way back.

Although Mrs. Zhang, who sells vinegar, was enthusiastic, Li Zhouzhou could hear from the two chats that Mrs. Zhang looked down upon them from the countryside.But it's okay, just like Xianggong said to live his own life with the door closed, as long as he is happy.

Besides, there are those who treat you badly and look down on you before, but after getting along for a long time, they feel better.

Like the Aunt Wang and the Tian family in the village, Li Zhouzhou never thought that the Tian family would apologize to him, and that Aunt Wang would get annoyed with him and cut off contact with his family.

It's impossible to say.

At noon, Li Zhouzhou ate simply. He cooked some noodles. In the afternoon, he turned over the yard, sprinkled water and loosened the soil, and turned over again tomorrow.After finishing the work, looking at the mess of the vegetable field in the yard, I used the leftover wood from the mule shed, sawed it off, split it, and used half and half bricks to circle around the vegetable field to make a fence.

It's much cleaner now.

Finish all this and start a fire for dinner.

Gu Zhao finished school at [-]:[-], his master had just left and was packing his schoolbag when a voice came from behind him: "Brother Zhao." Classmates, the older one is Brother X, and the younger one is Brother X.

But why he is not called Gudi, but Zhaodi, this is also learned.

Because called Zhaodi is a relatively close name.Similarly, among the classmates, ordinary classmates and buddies who play well are called Fa.

Gu Zhao turned around and smiled, thanking classmate Zheng Hui for verifying his good buddy.

"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"

"Brother Zhao is going home? I still want to go to the study with you to read books. Recently, there are some books from the capital in the study." After Zheng Hui finished speaking, he might be afraid that Gu Zhao would not go, so he lowered his voice seductively. Added a sentence, "There is also a picture book."

Gu Zhao: ...

If you don’t go home after school, you can make appointments to read books in the library and you can boast about your eagerness to learn. Later, drawing books is reading comics and novels for amateur pastime.

Although Zheng Hui was admitted in the same class as him, but more than half a month earlier, he has already found out the school and the bookstores and restaurants in the surrounding area, and he is a boarding student.

There are a total of [-] scholars in their Kangjing Fifty Spring this year, and the top six in the first-level class.During lunch, Zheng Hui said that now with Gu Zhao, there are six to five of them this year, and one of them has not come.Before Gu Zhao came, Zheng Hui and the other three also got along, but they couldn't talk about going together.

The relationship is flat, that is, the relationship between ordinary classmates.

Because there are at least two classes of students in a class, there is a phenomenon of grouping.Those who come early play well with those who come early, and those who come late play with those who come late.

Gu Zhao said: "I just moved here a few days ago. Today is the first day of school. My husband is at home. I'm afraid he will be worried if I go back late. After a few days to get used to it, I will discuss it with him the day before before going."

There are six classes in Qingping Academy, and you can't find a scholar who is not married.

Nowadays, it is common for people to get married as early as the [-]th or [-]th. It is not uncommon to have an earlier [-]th or [-]th year. Eighteen or nineteen is considered older, and this is also acceptable in towns.Villages get married early.

Scholars in the imperial examinations for studying, counting the time, all the scholars in Qingping Academy are married and have children, and there are not a few of them who have second or third children.Anyway, their school doesn't have the kind of gifted youngsters who are talented in the [-]th Five-Year Plan.

Class A is okay, the students are generally in their early twenties, and only one is in their thirties.For example, in Classes B and C, the oldest scholar is already 43, and I heard that he has grandchildren.

"Hey, isn't Brother Zhao afraid of internal affairs?" Zheng Hui felt disappointed, and deliberately used words to provoke Gu Zhao. He felt that few men were willing to worry about the reputation of internal fear.

But Zheng Hui didn't know that Gu Zhao was a married man.

"Brother Zheng, did you see it?" Gu Zhao was very happy. He was not satisfied with the name, and said, "Brother Zheng is so pitiful for being single." So lonely and pitiful.”

He also sighed sincerely to express his sympathy.

Gu Zhao patted Zheng Hui on the shoulder and waved goodbye.

Zheng Hui:? ? ?

Zheng Hui had never seen Gu Zhao like this before, he was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly followed Gu Zhao with his schoolbag on his back, walked beside Gu Zhao, and said, "Forget it, forget it, I will go with you next time, I will go first today." have a look."

After going down the steps and out of the school gate, the two walked together.

"Brother Zhao's house is here? That's good, we're on the way." Zheng Hui was happy, and he was not afraid of being bored if he had a companion on the road. He said, "When I've bought a book and finished reading it, I'll lend it to you first."

Gu Zhao thanked, "Okay, then I will thank Brother Zheng." He did not refuse this time.

The two walked together, talking about some knowledge while walking.Zheng Hui is a talkative person, sometimes he speaks straightforwardly, if it sounds good, he can be blunt, and if it sounds bad, he just doesn't wink.

Like just when Gu Zhao declined to go to the bookstore together, the students next to him would say "next time" and "that will be done" by the way, but Zheng Hui was not happy, and wanted Gu Zhao to go with him, and provoke Gu Zhao with the fear of guilt.

You must know that they have known each other for less than 24 hours, and their friendship is not enough to say such things.

This is Gu Zhao, put it on the classmate next to him, and said in fear, maybe this time he agreed to go to the book with Zheng Hui because of affection, but he was unhappy with the appointment, so there would be no next time.

This is why Zheng Hui came early, and the other three in the same class couldn't play with him.

After walking for half an hour, we arrived at Pomegranate Street.

"I'm here." Gu Zhao said goodbye to Zheng Hui.

Zheng Hui said with a smile: "Your home is close to the study, less than a quarter of the time, in the future you will not read with me, but you can walk with me all the way, so I won't be bored, let's go."

The two say goodbye.

Gu Zhao went into the alley, walked home, the courtyard door was locked, knocked twice and waited.Zhou Zhou's footsteps were heard inside his house, and the door opened, and the two smiled when they saw each other.

I don't know what to laugh about, I just separated after not seeing each other for a day, and now I am happy to see you.

When Li Zhouzhou took the schoolbag from his father-in-law, Gu Zhao said, "No need, I'll just take it."

"How can it be done? Mr. Xiang, this is what I should do."

In fact, there is nothing that should not be done.Anyway, in Gu Zhao's heart, he didn't feel that his family Zhou Zhou must be a good "wife" and take care of him without complaint.They take care of each other as equals.

But his family has a tradition in Zhou Zhou's bones, and regards her husband as the sky.

"Close the door quickly, the big-tailed wolf will come in soon~" Gu Zhao threatened Zhou Zhou with words while carrying his schoolbag, and walked briskly inside.

Li Zhouzhou didn't receive the schoolbag, and when he heard the words of his husband to scare him, his eyes crooked with a smile, he fastened the gate of the courtyard first, and went into the house together, saying, "I'm not afraid." He's so old .

Gu Zhao put his schoolbag on the round table in the main room, went over to hold Zhou Zhou's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid, since Zhou Zhou's house is closed, there will be no big-tailed wolves following the beautiful little husband."

"I'm Zhou Zhou of my family."

Li Zhouzhou couldn't help but laugh, Xianggong is still like a child.
