Farming and teaching across different worlds

Seeing the scorching heat in Shi Jingchen's eyes.His face was hot with hot eyes.

Since the first kiss, the two have grown closer. Although they have reached the last step, considering Ji Xiuran's body, Shi Jingchen is very restrained every time, and the two of them are busy recently, and the time spent together has been greatly reduced. It has been a while There is no venting, so Ji Xiuran's unconscious action is to ignite the fire.

When Shi Jingchen lowered his head and attached him, Ji Xiuran naturally closed his eyes and accepted him.In this way, the next day, Ji Xiuran didn't get up on time, and missed the morning reading that he never missed.

Shi Jingchen held the porridge in a refreshed manner and pushed open the door, Ji Xiuran who was lying on the bed looked at him resentfully.Although his physical condition has improved a lot, compared to Shi Jingchen, he is still much worse. He was released overnight, and he wanted to bang his head against the wall in shame.

Shi Jingchen brought the porridge in front of Ji Xiuran, helped him into his arms, let him lean on him comfortably, and ate the porridge.After Ji Xiuran was a little embarrassed at the beginning, he was relieved.After all, the two are a happy couple, and they should be taken care of like this. There is nothing to be ashamed of.Thinking of this, Ji Xiuran became much calmer when facing Shi Jingchen.

After being busy with things for a while, it was finally time for Ji Xiuran to go to the county to look for Mr. Xi. After the routine school examination, Mr. Xi said to Ji Xiuran: "What Xiuran said last time has already taken shape. Go find your teacher's wife and introduce her to you." After Mr. Xi finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "This person, you should call me brother, is one of the students my teacher taught in his early years. His name is Lu Qingyi. .”

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran nodded again and again. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xi would have news so soon. Ji Xiuran was very happy. Mr. Xi continued to introduce Lu Qingyi's basic situation to him. I was disheartened and didn't want to continue the imperial examination, but I couldn't get into the county school to teach, so I never got a job.The master pities him for his talent but does not meet him, and hopes that he can use his talent here with Ji Xiuran.This person is quite talented, but only partial.He is best at agriculture, industry and water conservancy.

It wouldn't be so miserable, but this person is too obsessed with this aspect, which is why he is talented but fails to pass the test repeatedly. His knowledge is too biased. Without a background, it is impossible to be reused just by relying on these partial talents.

After listening to Mr. Ji Xiuran's introduction, he was very satisfied. He knew that people nowadays study for the imperial examination, but the academy he wants to open wants to give those poor people who have no conditions to study a chance to study, hoping to be able to teach people without discrimination , and Senior Brother Lu's talent is exactly what he needs, so that the teaching of the adult class will not be limited to words and arithmetic.

A few people came to the hall, and when they went in, they saw a tall, thin middle-aged scholar sitting under the teacher's wife. I also like this brother Lu very much.After seeing a few people coming in, the teacher's wife greeted: "Xiu Ran, come quickly and meet your senior brother."

Ji Xiuran obediently stepped forward to salute.Senior Brother Lu got up to return the salute.Mr. Xi walked to his seat and sat down, saying: "You brothers don't need to be so polite, just feel seated."

Several people listened to what the master said, walked to their seats and sat down, Mr. Xi looked at Ji Xiuran and said, "This is your brother Lu," and then turned to look at Lu Qingyi and said, "This is I mentioned Ji Xiuran to you before."

The two sat down after greeting each other again, which was considered a formal acquaintance.Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and both were very satisfied, and Lu Qingyi, the senior brother, became the new teacher of Ji Xiuran's school.

When the two returned this time, they not only brought Senior Brother Lu, but also the two sisters Dahong and Erhong. The two little girls went home every ten days.It was the first time for the two sisters to be away from home for such a long time. When they saw Ji Xiuran, they both had red eyes, especially Erhong, who was only a little over four years old now. When she saw Ji Xiuran, she ran over and hugged his thigh.

Ji Xiuran hugged Erhong up, and the little girl hugged Ji Xiuran's neck, weeping silently, Ji Xiuran felt a little sore looking at Erhong like this, and patted her on the back to comfort her.In fact, as the youngest child in the family, Erhong has always been loved. If it wasn't for the rare opportunity this time, the family would not be willing to let her leave home at such a young age.

Moreover, the teacher's wife treats them like their own granddaughters, so the Ji family is so relieved to hand them over to the teacher's wife.It's just that it's understandable that the little girl is not used to being away from her family for the first time.

After Ji Xiuran comforted Erhong, he greeted Dahong who was obediently standing beside him, and everyone went back together.After sitting in the carriage, Ji Xiuran took the time to observe the two of them. Erhong was still young, so it wasn't very obvious, but Dahong could clearly feel the change.In just ten days, you can clearly feel that Big Red has changed, not on the outside, but on the inside, the temperament emanating from the inside out is changing, it is just beginning now, and you need to observe carefully to see it , Ji Xiuran believed that after a period of time, there would be a clear difference between Dahong and the chaihuo girl in the village, Ji Xiuran nodded in his heart, feeling very satisfied.

After returning to Qingshan Village, Ji Xiuran wanted to bring the two little girls back to the Ji family. Now that Brother Ji and Brother Ji are both busy in the Qiaotou market, there must be no one at home, and Father Ji and Mother Ji at least One of them was at home, and besides, the two old people missed their granddaughter a little bit, and they told Ji Xiuran to remember to bring them back.

But Dahong proposed to go home first. This time she came back and brought back some homework that she had left before. She wanted to go back and put it down first. Ji Xiuran nodded in agreement. After entering the village, she will send Dahong back first before going home.After getting off the carriage, Ji Xiuran first took Brother Lu to settle down, and introduced Liu Xiang to him.Fortunately, I took the time to fix the backyard and separated the room where the two brothers and sisters Liu Xiang lived from other rooms, which was convenient for Senior Brother Lu to live in.

Shi Jingchen took Erhong to the courtyard where Ji's father and mother lived.Ji's mother happened to be at home. When she saw Erhong, she quickly took it over and kissed her. Erhong's crying that had been suppressed after seeing Ji Xiuran rose again. When Ji's mother saw Erhong's red eyes, she cried again He hugged her distressedly and coaxed her up.

When Dahong came home, there was no one in the house, so he took out the key and opened the door and went in by himself. Brother Ji lived in the old house before the Ji family. For the two brothers Qing and Sanqing, the west chamber was given to Dahong.Dahong put her things in the room, and before she had time to tidy up, she heard someone calling her at the door: "Hongyuan, are you back?"

Dahong recognized that it was Yanzi from the Li family next to her, so she agreed aloud, "Yanzi, come in, I'm in the Westinghouse."

After hearing this, Yanzi came in, saw Dahong who was sitting by the bed packing things, and said, "Hong Yuan, it really is you. I just saw a figure enter your house in the yard. It looks like you. I'm not sure, I didn't expect you to come back, how have you been for a while? I heard that you went to the county."

Dahong nodded and said, "I'm going to my uncle's husband's house."

Swallow said enviously: "The county must be doing well. I heard that the ladies in the county are all well-dressed. Let's see if there are jugglers in the county. Is it true?"

Dahong: "I haven't seen many ladies in the county, and I don't know what they wear, but during the Chinese New Year, I saw them and juggled, and now they are gone after the Chinese New Year."

After listening, Yanzi asked many things about the county seat. After Dahong answered them one by one, she took out a few flower patterns, handed them to Yanzi, and said, "Swallow, here are some flower patterns for you. I got them from Mother Wang." Ms. Wang is the one who taught me how to embroider.”

Yanzi took it over in surprise, and said a little embarrassedly: "You just gave it to me for such a good thing, don't you want it yourself?"

"It's okay, I still have it here." Dahong took out the box in which she stored her patterns and opened it to her, and Yanzi's face was filled with envy: "Hongyuan, you are so kind, and your uncle treats you well. It’s great to learn from people here.” After speaking, he looked at Dahong and said, “I see you this time and I think you look better.”

Dahong smiled and said, "It hasn't changed, maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you feel something is wrong."

"Is that so, maybe?" Yanzi said uncertainly, touching his head hesitantly.

After the two sisters stayed at home for two days, Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen sent them away again. When they left this time, Erhong was a little disappointed, but she didn't play around and cry like before, which made Ji Xiuran sigh with emotion. big.

Chapter 57

Time passed while Ji Xiuran was busy, and soon the spring was over.

Ji Xiuran was sitting in the study room reading a book, Shi Jingchen came in from outside the house, holding a plate of washed apricots in his hand, Ji Xiuran looked up and saw it, smiled and said: "Well, are the apricots already ripe?" Shi Jingchen put the plate by his hand and said : "It's starting to ripen." Ji Xiuran nodded, picked up one, broke it open, and put it in his mouth, um, it's very fruity, soft and sweet, delicious.

Although Ji Xiuran used to work in the south, he still preferred apples, peaches, and apricots. That's why he planted so many of these fruits when he bought the fruits grown on the top of the mountain. However, the southern fruits produced tangerines and nothing else.

But he did not expect that the landscape of Qingshan Village is very suitable for growing fruits, and the fruits grown are big and delicious, just like this
