Farming and teaching across different worlds

That's the reason, brother, don't worry.

Brother Ji saw that the two of them got along much better than before, so he smiled and said nothing more.

He went up to pick up his things, said goodbye to Uncle Liu, and walked home with his two younger brothers.

When they got home, Ji's father and mother, Ji's second brother, Ji's sister-in-law, Ji's second sister-in-law, and several children were already waiting for them at the door.

Ji Xiuran looked at the people at the door, and like Brother Ji, he immediately got along as his own relatives, without any barriers at all.

After looking at everyone, he quickly walked forward and saluted: "Father, mother, my son is back."

When Ji's father and Ji's mother saw Ji Xiuran's return, they were very excited. Seeing him stepping forward to salute, they both stepped forward to stop his movements.

Ji's mother raised her hand to touch Ji Xiuran's thin face in distress, then grabbed Ji Xiuran's hand and said: "My youngest son is back, mother knows that my son has passed the examination of scholar, mother is very happy, my son is promising .”

Although Father Ji on the side was embarrassed to express it so bluntly, he was also very excited in his heart, and one could see it from the expression on his face.

Seeing Ji's mother not letting go of Ji Xiuran, she said: "Mother, don't hold on to Xiuran, Xiuran must be exhausted, let's let him go into the house to rest first."

After listening to Father Ji's words, Ji's mother also felt that this was the reason, so she blamed herself a little angrily: "Yes, it's all my fault, I'm so excited."

After speaking, he led Ji Xiuran to the door, Ji Xiuran didn't stop him, and followed her into the door following her strength.

At this time, Shi Jingchen and Brother Ji who followed behind Ji Xiuran also came over, Second Brother Ji saw that they had a lot of things in their hands, so he walked over quickly, took some of them, and walked into the yard with them.

After Shi Jingchen followed Brother Ji and Second Brother Ji to put the things in the house, when he came out, he saw Father Ji, Mother Ji and other members of the family, still surrounded by Ji Xiuran, laughing constantly.

She pursed her lips slightly, and there was a trace of struggle on her face. Finally, seeing that they were getting along so happily, she couldn't bear to break this beauty, so she sighed slightly and said nothing.

In the end, he looked up at them again, did not step forward to disturb them, and left after talking to the two brothers of the Ji family.

The second child of the Ji family wanted to keep someone, but after thinking about his younger brother, he gave up the idea.

They all knew that Ji Xiuran was very disgusted with Shi Jingchen, if after leaving him behind, if Xiuran sees it and embarrasses others, it would be unbeautiful.

When I'm free, I'll go to Erniu for a drink.

Brother Ji didn't think too much about it, but seeing the interaction between the two before, he thought that the relationship between the two had eased, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Frowning, he thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good solution, so he shook his head helplessly and walked into the main room.

When Ji Xiuran found out, Shi Jingchen had already left for a while, probably because the first person he encountered was Shi Jingchen, and he always had inexplicable trust and dependence on him.

After knowing that he had left, I felt a little disappointed and wanted to find him back, but thinking of their current embarrassing relationship, I had no choice but to give up. In the end, I had to listen to my family's advice and go back to my room to rest.

But for unknown reasons, Ji Xiuran developed a high fever inexplicably in the middle of the night.

When Ji's mother came over to wake him up for dinner the next morning, he realized that Ji Xiuran's face was flushed with fever and he was talking nonsense.

After Ji's father found out, he hurried to the village to find Zhou Langzhong.

Zhou Langzhong came in a hurry. After the diagnosis, he couldn't find out the cause of the disease. In the end, he could only prescribe some common antipyretic medicine for him, but it didn't work. The high fever persisted.

In the end Zhou Langzhong had no choice but to shake his head at the Ji family with an ugly expression.

When the Ji family saw this conclusion, they were immediately at a loss, and the atmosphere in the family became depressed.

That day, Shi Jingchen came out of Ji's house and went back to his place where he was temporarily staying. Several good brothers in the village knew that he was back, so they came to look for him.

Both Wang Dazhu and Li Erhu are good brothers who grew up with Shi Jingchen. They usually go hunting in Daqing Mountain together, and they have a deep relationship.

They had just come down from the mountain and returned home when they heard that Shi Jingchen was back and came to look for him with food.

The place where Shi Jingchen lives now is the house where Ji's father and mother used to live when they were young.

Although the Ji family is a single household in Qingshan Village, they also have an old house.After Ji Xiuran's grandparents passed away, the Ji family moved from their original residence to an old house.

The place was vacant.

This house is located on the edge of the village, relatively remote. Although the place is large, there are not many rooms.

And because no one lived there for a long time, the roof had collapsed. When Shi Jingchen moved here before, he just tidied up a little in a hurry.

Now that there is time and several people are free, they stay together after dinner to help him repair the roof.

Li Erhu stood on the ground, took a wooden spade and shoveled a shovel of mud into the wooden frame next to him, looked up at Shi Jingchen who was standing on the ladder handing straw to the roof, and asked, "Er Niu, you will live by yourself from now on." Are you here yet?"

Shi Jingchen's nickname is Er Niu, and people in Qingshan Village are still used to calling him that.

Li Erhu is a straight-tempered person, if he has any questions, he will naturally ask them.

When Shi Jingchen heard his question, he paused for a moment, then nodded lightly, and didn't say anything.

Li Erhu saw that he nodded in affirmation, so he stopped what he was doing, looked at him with a frown, and said very dissatisfied: "Then the Ji family kicked you out like this?"

At this time, Wang Dazhu, who was standing by the side tidying the straw, when he heard Li Erhu's words, he winked at him with some disapproval, and signaled Li Erhu to say less.

Shi Jingchen paused for a moment before regaining his composure and said lightly: "It's not about driving out, it's just about annulling the engagement."

This was a decision made by both of them at the same time, and Shi Jingchen didn't think there was anything wrong.

Li Erhu saw that Shi Jingchen didn't care much, although he knew that he had no position to say anything, he still said a little indignantly:

"Isn't it just to drive you away and find a good wife for my son? Who doesn't know that now that Ji Xiuran has passed the examination as a scholar, there are many girls from good families waiting to marry him."

After hearing his words, Shi Jingchen's eyes darkened slightly, thinking of the person who would call him third brother with a smile on his face, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

But soon he suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said calmly: "The Ji family has been kind to me, and I am grateful in my heart. After the marriage contract is dissolved, it is human nature to marry each other, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Shi Jingchen is always grateful to the Ji family.

Ji Xiuran was born prematurely when he uttered his voice, and his body was very weak. He was cared for carefully, and he was still sick all the time.

When he was four years old, Ji's father took him out to seek medical treatment, and he met a man who gave him advice, saying that he wanted to find a boy with the same zodiac sign to get engaged and increase some yang energy so that he could be raised.

When he came back, Father Ji began to look around for boys who matched his horoscope.

Finally, he found the Er Niu of the Shi family, who is now Shi Jingchen.

Although the Ji family made this marriage at the time, the real purpose was to extend the life of the frail Ji Xiuran.

But the dowry gift of two taels of silver given by the Ji family at that time can be said to be father Shi's life-saving money.

At that time, Father Shi happened to have his leg broken by a stone and was in urgent need of money for treatment.

For Ji Xiuran's health, after getting engaged, he moved into Ji's house.

Father Ji and mother treated him as if they were their own children, and lived in the same food and clothing as Ji's sons, and later Father Ji taught him to hunt.

After he grew up, they didn't want the money he earned from hunting. Later, he used money to subsidize his family, and the Ji family never stopped him.

So even if Ji Xiuran had always been lukewarm to him and finally regretted driving him away, he didn't have any resentment in his heart.

Wang Dazhu on the side saw it more clearly than Li Erhu. He felt that even if Ji Xiuran kicked Shi Jingchen out, their family would be more kind to Shi Jingchen than anything.

He also agreed with Shi Jingchen's idea. Seeing Li Erhu talking too much, he couldn't help but reprimanded: "Erhu, stop talking nonsense. No matter what the Ji family says, they are very kind to Erniu. We can't Talk about people's rights and wrongs casually."

Li Erhu moved his mouth when he heard Wang Dazhu's words, and finally thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense, so he stopped talking.

After that, the few people stopped gossiping and quickened their movements.

After working for a long time like this, the roof was tidied up, and several people tidied up their things again, and left after seeing that things were almost done.

Shi Jingchen stood alone in the empty yard, thinking of the joy and comfort he had with that person during this time, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

But soon he calmed down, cleaned up the yard, and re-planned the use of the corners of the yard.

The next day, when Shi Jingchen was busy clearing the vegetable field, Wang Dazhu hurried over with a bowl of steamed buns.

Entering the yard, put the bowl on the table in the yard, and said to Shi Jingchen with a worried expression:

"Erniu, when I just came here, I happened to meet Zhou Langzhong coming out of Ji's house. I don't know who is sick. Judging by Zhou Langzhong's face, the situation should not be very good."

When Shi Jingchen heard Wang Dazhu's words, he felt a "thump" in his heart, thinking that Ji Xiuran had a high fever in the county town, and he had been resting in bed for nearly ten days before he recovered a little. Maybe something happened to him again.

Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, my expression changed, I couldn't care about anything else, I left the things in my hands, and walked out.

Wang Dazhu saw that his face was not right, so he got up and chased him in a hurry, and shouted behind him while chasing: "Er Niu, what are you doing in such a hurry, the doctor doesn't work, so what's the use of you going?"
