I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times

Chapter 29 Gagen & Mr.

Qu Qing planned to put the field where weeds were removed for two days before planting corn, so after today’s calculation, there is probably no work to do. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast together, after Hua Zizhou finished boiling the medicine and drank it, he called him and Let's go to the paddy field together to see if the seeds in the field have germinated, and whether we need to water or store water to soak the seeds and take care of the crops.

Although he has heard the theory of these things from Hua Zizhou and remembered them in his heart, but if he is allowed to practice them himself, he is still not 100% sure. Helping to watch by your side will make you feel more at ease.

Hua Zizhou only thought that he was not familiar with farming, and never thought that he was a person from another world. He was very happy about Qu Qing's trust and attention to him. He never thought it was a good thing to be able to farm before. But now, he is very grateful to himself who once learned all the farm work well.

The little cat went to play with Jiang Zhu by himself, but did not follow, so for Hua Zizhou, this was a very rare opportunity for him and Qu Qing to be alone.

He was still very excited because of this, he glanced quietly at Qu Qing's normal side face, and immediately moved away nervously, he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.

Going to the field, Qu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that the seeds that had been sown a few days ago had begun to germinate, and the small green leaves grew very gratifyingly. In particular, he had never even seen a hoe not long ago, and he did not expect that he would now become a farmer who made a living by farming.

According to the sequence Hua Zizhou once said, he took a hoe to dig open the mud that blocked the water on the ridge of the field, released the water, then squatted down, looked at the seeds that had sprouted in the field and said: "Zizhou, look Look, is this seedling growing well?"

In this quiet atmosphere, there was no one around, Huazizhou suddenly heard him call his name, his heart skipped a beat, he turned his head to look at the seedlings in the field in a daze, and didn't recover for a long time.

Qu Qing didn't hear the response, so he called out a few more times, and repeated what he said just now, Hua Zizhou came back to his senses, stood beside Qu Qing, bent slightly, looked at the tender seedlings in the field and said: "Yes, grow up!" It's so good, I believe that after a few months, we will be able to harvest full rice grains."

"If you're planting rice seedlings, you'll probably be busy for a few more days." Qu Qing stretched out his fingertips and gently touched the tender seedlings under his feet, stood up and said to Hua Zizhou: "Let's go, Jiang Orion said today that he is going to build a house." Materials, we also go to help, he has really helped us a lot recently, we should also help him more."

"Okay." Hua Zizhou hurriedly followed half a step behind him, with his head slightly lowered, looking at Qu Qing's swaying hand in front of him, and suddenly imagined in his mind what it would be like for Qu Qing to hold his hand. He started jumping wildly.

He wanted to hold Qu Qing's hand, but he couldn't help reaching out, but he raised his hand in the air, wondering if he would be too abrupt, and worried that he would be thrown away by Qu Qing, besides, he was still ugly now Although he thought that since Qu Qing was willing to let him stay and sleep with him by default, he must be willing to have him, but he was still worried in his heart...

After a few months, he has already started to take medicine, and his face will definitely recover by then. When he is normal, even if he is not very beautiful, at least he can be like an ordinary person and have the courage to stand beside him openly. Maybe at that time, if you go to hold his hand by yourself, you won't have to worry about being rejected.

Thinking of this, he turned his outstretched hand and tried to touch his face, but before he touched it, he remembered what Qu Qing said about the "bacteria" on his hand, so he stopped his movement quickly.

The way back was not too far, but there seemed to be some silence between the two of them. Perhaps Qu Qing also realized it, so he found a topic to talk about. He asked Hua Zizhou: "The person who came that day was your brother?"

"Yes." Hua Zizhou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to bring up this topic suddenly.

Qu Qing thought about his words, and said, "He doesn't look like he has no feelings for you. It seems that your relationship is not too bad. How was your life when you were at home?"

"Although there have been a lot of conflicts, which brothers and sisters don't have conflicts. My second brother, apart from throwing away the cat, he did too much. Remember, other things are not particularly bad, and mother, In fact, if I were really ruthless, I would have been kicked out of the house long ago. How could I pick up another child to raise? My mother is also very hard, and the family is also very hard. Everyone works hard, but I still can't get enough to eat, and my mother is already very tired in order to marry my second brother and save dowries for my younger sisters."

He originally had some resentment in his heart, but he didn't know why, as he talked, his words turned into good things about his family incoherently.

"Your mother... did you save a dowry for you?" Qu Qing thought, since my brother is also going to marry, he should also pretend like a woman.

Speaking of this, Hua Zizhou's face suddenly darkened: "Unless you are from a very rich family, you will rarely have a dowry, because everyone thinks that marrying a brother is not as good as a girl, and besides, I... It looks good, that's why my mother wants to find a family so urgently."

"Actually, you also care about your mother."

"Of course, who can not care about his own mother, but..." That day, if Qu Qing hadn't changed for some reason and let him in, he felt that he might really die with the cat in the wilderness, Thinking of this, he felt a little chilled.

Qu Qing said: "You also said that your mother is not such a cruel person, so if you have a chance, go back and have a look. Even if she is really cruel, it will not change the fact that he has raised you for more than ten years. If you are stubborn now, if you regret it one day, you may not have a chance, isn’t there a saying that goes like this, a tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop, a child wants to be raised but not to be loved..."

After Qu Qing heard what the village chief said that day, he thought over and over about the seemingly vicious woman that day. In the end, no matter what angle he looked at, he couldn't think that she was a person who was so heartless that he could kill his own child. For persuading Hua Zizhou like this, maybe there was some misunderstanding that he didn't see during the period.

When Hua Zizhou was said that, the charming thoughts in his heart suddenly disappeared. He responded sullenly. After a while, he finally realized that when Qu Qing said that sentence just now, there was a strong sad.

Later he remembered that Qu Qing's parents had died a long time ago, that's why he was so sad.

Thinking of this, he comforted Qu Qing and said, "Don't be sad, if your parents see you now, they will be very pleased."

Qu Qing wanted to say that he had no father, but when the words came to his lips, thinking that he was not the original owner, it was better to forget it, and in the end he just agreed.

As soon as Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou got home, they saw Jiang Orion carrying a hoe, digging mud and moving soil five or six meters away from his house. It seemed that the foundation of the house had been planned. Qu Qing checked it visually. , I found that it was about the same size as my own home now, with a few houses and a yard.

It seems that I will really have a neighbor soon.

Qu Qing went up to help, Jiang Liehu hurriedly told him not to move: "Hey, you are a student, don't do these hard work, I can take care of it myself."

Qu Qing suddenly felt dumbfounded. Ever since he said he knew how to read, he found that the people here were talking to him with three points of politeness and respect, which made people feel uncomfortable. He didn't listen, and picked up a hoe to help. , while saying: "What are you studying, you are not a crop grower now, what's the matter with doing some work, do you think I'm not doing well?"

Jiang Liehu refused repeatedly, but Qu Qing didn't listen, so he had no choice but to let him follow suit. They worked together to quickly deal with the foundation, and then went to prepare materials, bamboo, thatch, and felling trees. Qu Qing was too busy. I found that here, every day is very fulfilling.

While they were busy, on one side of the village,

After the village head asked Qu Qing to read the letter that day, the family happily invited the eldest son back, and completely changed their view of Qu Qing.

Today Zhao Dahu happened to come to the village head to ask something. After the village head answered, Zhao Dahu was about to leave. The village head suddenly thought of Qu Qing, so he stopped him immediately and asked him to sit down again:

"Brother Zhao, let me ask you something. You originally wanted to set up a school for our villages. What else do you plan to do?"

When Zhao Dahu heard this matter was mentioned, he sighed and said: "Hey, village head, I really want to do something good for the village. I have already chosen the address of the school, so I just waited to start construction, but There is no way, the only literate scholar in this ten miles and eight towns wants 50 taels of silver a month, do you think I will give him my life? Even if I make a few money outside, I can’t make it this month With so much money, it only costs a hundred taels of silver to build a school, and he would not be willing to lose one tael, so what else can I do, I can only say forget it.”

The village head also bought a pass: "Then let me ask you, if I can find you a cheap teacher, would you still want to build a school? You have to answer me solemnly, after all, if you build a free school, but It’s a great thing to benefit five or six villages near us.”

"Really?" Zhao Dahu's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, "Can you really find an inexpensive one? Are you willing to keep teaching? Who is it? How much does he need for a month? To be honest, building a school and what it takes I cover all the books, so I really can’t afford much for the tuition fees. You know how expensive the books are, the village chief. My money is not blown by the wind. I need pens, inks, paper and inkstones Whoever goes to school will prepare it by themselves."

Zhao Dahu, who had been away for many years, made money and came back. He still felt that scholars were more respected when he came back. He hoped that his family members would be successful and respected. He wanted to send his son to a school in the county. Said that he was in business, but he was not even allowed to enter the door.

In a fit of anger, Zhao Dahu planned to raise funds to build a school when he came back, so that not only his own son could study, but also children in several nearby villages could study. By the way, he did a good deed that could win people's hearts. Looking forward to who will mention him in the future, instead of saying sourly that he is an upstart, he will give him a thumbs up and praise him.

Although the idea is good, but the material things are easy to manage, but the husband is hard to find. As soon as most scholars hear that he is in business, they will be condescending and look down on others. 50 taels of silver per month. You must know that in this era, ordinary people can only use seven or eight taels of silver a year. If he wants to pay like this, he will go bankrupt one day.

Zhao Dahu, who ran into walls everywhere, had to give up his plan.

I didn't expect to come to the village head today, but when I heard the village head say this, there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, but then I thought of the arrogant faces of those scholars, and I didn't have any hope.

The village head said confidently: "You don't have to worry about the money issue. You just say how much you are willing to pay for a month. Then I will help you as a lobbyist and keep him willing."

Zhao Dahu didn't quite believe it. After all, he had searched for all the scholars he could find in ten miles and eight towns, and none of them agreed. The village chief was just a farmer. He really couldn't imagine that the village chief could find any scholar.

He was heartbroken by those scholars, so he deliberately said a very low number: "One tael of silver, at most one tael of silver a month, and I won't pay any more."

When the village chief heard this, he slapped his thigh: "It's settled, you can't go back on your word, I'll talk to someone today, and you can go back and wait for my good news."

The excited look of the village head made Zhao Dahu not convinced, thinking that he could really find a teacher who was willing to pay such a low price?

The village head was so happy that he couldn't sit still. His wife asked him if he had picked up a lot of money on the road. What a great thing that must be,

Maybe our village will have a champion in the future, that would be really great, even if we don’t get a champion, but those who can pool money to build a school from all over the world, they will definitely be the only ones, if the village gets better, Do you think I will have a credit then?Maybe the magistrate of the county will reward us at that time! "

The village head's wife was baffled by what she heard, but the youngest next to her immediately understood: "Father, you are not going to ask Brother Qu Qing to be a teacher in the school, is it a little unreliable? He has a bad reputation. Do you think Zhao Dahu will agree?"

"You don't know how much effort Zhao Dahu put in to let his children study, and how many people stared at him. Do you think he would be willing? But I'm going to talk to Qu Qing, wait for me Change clothes and go now, I don’t know whether he is at home or in the field today.”

The youngest said: "It should be at home. I just weeded the weeds yesterday, and said that I will wait two days before planting corn."

The village chief immediately changed into the new clothes he would wear during the Chinese New Year.

Qu Qing was cutting bamboo with Jiang Liehu at home and moved back when he saw the village chief walking towards his house. They stopped immediately to entertain him. The village chief waved his hands and said, "This is planning to build a house, Jiang Liehu , you go ahead, I'm here to talk to Qu Qing about something important."

So Qu Qing asked him to go in and sit down. Although Jiang Oriou was a little curious, he continued to do his own work. Hua Zizhou poured them two bowls of hot boiled water. Qu Qing glanced at him and said to the village chief: " The family is struggling, and there is nothing to entertain, I hope you don't mind."

Hua Zizhou went out quietly, Qu Qing glanced at his back again, thinking strangely in his heart, the moment just now was so similar, the cooperation between him and Hua Zizhou looked like a real husband and wife .

Seeing his appearance, the village head also took advantage of the situation and said: "This brother of the Hua family is really sensible now. Although he is not good-looking, he works neatly, is sensible and obedient, and takes care of everything inside and outside the house. That’s right, so I think Qu Qing, you still made money, picking up a daughter-in-law for nothing, and the mother-in-law hasn’t asked you for a betrothal gift yet.”

Qu Qing smiled and didn't answer, and asked the village chief why he was here.

As soon as this was mentioned, the village chief's face turned serious, and he approached Qu Qing mysteriously: "I found you a job that costs one tael a month, and you just say whether you want to take it. "

Qu Qing was a little surprised: "Village chief, don't be joking. You know how short of money my family is now, but even if it is short of money, I will not do illegal and criminal things."

The village head almost laughed: "Why do you think so, I can be the kind of person who asks you to do illegal and criminal things? It's a good thing. Not only is it not illegal, but it can also make you famous for generations, but the premise is that you If you are willing to do it, of course, you can do it alone.”

Qu Qing didn't quite understand: "What's the good thing?"

The village chief purposely kept a secret, stood up, walked to the shredded paper that Qu Qing put on the meat exchange list that day, picked up the torn paper, and kept praising: "Qu Qing, you wrote this word. It’s really good, even if I am illiterate, I think his writing is good.”

Qu Qing stood next to him, looking at his charcoal writing. It was really not good-looking. There was also a reason for the pen, and it was also because he hadn't written properly for many years.

"The village head has won the award, that is to say, he learned calligraphy for two years when he was a child, but now he is very unfamiliar, and the characters he writes can barely understand what he has learned."

"I also learned calligraphy, that's really amazing." The village head became more and more satisfied with Qu Qing's current appearance, and he asked Qu Qing, "Would you like to let you be the teacher of our Huajia Village School?"

After speaking, he was afraid that Qu Qing would be under pressure, so he said again: "Actually, it doesn't matter how much real talent you have, just being able to teach children to read and write is enough. In this day and age, being able to read and write is a great thing. It’s not difficult, the book will be ready for you when the time comes, and you can teach the children what’s on it, and don’t be afraid that you can’t do it yourself, and it’s not asking you to teach some champions. Of course, if you can teach one or two It couldn’t be better if the No. [-] scholar came.”

After the village chief finished speaking, he laughed with Qu Qing.

Qu Qing didn't expect that when he wanted to doze off, someone handed him a pillow. He took a sip of boiled water and asked, "Is the school Zhao Dahu wants to run looking for a teacher?"

"Yeah, so you know?" The village chief was a little surprised.

Hua Zizhou put the bowl containing boiled water on the table, touched the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, and vaccinated the village chief in advance: "I heard Zizhou said before that this opportunity can really fall on my head, of course I will Yes, it's just my ability. I can only teach children to read, read, write and do arithmetic. It's really not good to take the imperial examination for the number one scholar. I don't have such great ability. If you don't mind this, I am willing to be a teacher. of."

He still has a very clear understanding of the difference between his knowledge and the ancient Eastern Imperial Examinations.

"Don't worry about this, as long as you can teach reading and writing, it's enough. Then you agree, and this matter is settled. When the school is built, you will be the only gentleman in our ten miles and eight villages." , one tael of silver a month, you accept it, right?"

"Of course I accepted it, which is already very good." A note of two silvers is really a lot. For this era, he can earn the money of a calf in three months. He can't think of any reason for him to refuse. To make money, and to do good deeds to literacy for the people here.

The village chief left happily. Before he left, he also borrowed a few pieces of paper that Qu Qing had written on, and said to show it to Zhao Dahu, and he would return it to him tomorrow.

Of course Qu Qing agreed.

He originally thought about going to Zhao Dahu to recommend himself after the busy farming was over, but he didn't expect the village head to help him, and even offered to help him match up.

Qu Qing sent the village chief away, and the others asked curiously when they saw his happy face. After Qu Qing said that he might become a husband, Hua Zizhou and Jiang Orion were stunned.

The last group of people were all overjoyed for him. Jiang Liehu was as happy as if someone from his family had won the first prize. That night, he went to the wine seller in the village with his own money to buy a catty of red bayberry wine, and even killed chickens. To celebrate, Qu Qing disagreed, Jiang Orion took advantage of Qu Qing’s time to go out to fetch water, he killed the chicken and plucked the feathers. Qu Qing couldn’t laugh or cry, but he had killed all the chickens, so he had no choice but to have eaten.

That night, we ate as if it was Chinese New Year, and we almost set off firecrackers to celebrate. Except for the two little ones who ate food obediently, the three adults each drank half a bowl of wine.

Even Qu Qing, a modern person, thinks this is a bit extravagant, but seeing that everyone is sincerely happy for him, he also feels happy from the bottom of his heart.

When Jiang Orieu heard about firecrackers, he immediately slapped his head: "Hey, why did I forget, I'm going to buy it now."

Qu Qing quickly pulled the man back and forced him to sit down: "This matter hasn't been settled yet, let's take a look first, you really don't know what to say about you, come on, have a drink, no matter the outcome If it doesn’t work, I’m happy today, if it doesn’t work, then I will still be a teacher, Jiangzhu and Mao’er will learn things no matter what, I will teach them everything I know.”

Jiang Orion hugged him hard, almost squeezed Qu Qing's lungs, Jiang Orion let go quickly, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my ancestors counted up to eighteen generations, and there is no Literate, now you say that you want to teach my son to read and write, I am so excited..."

Qu Qing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and continued to eat meat. Looking at the people here who knew the importance of knowledge, but had no way to get in touch with it, a vague thought came to him, maybe he could try it. Want to engage in basic education here and pass on knowledge to the villagers here?

Anyway, it was only ten years, and I went home after that, which can be regarded as doing a good deed that benefits the people.

Suddenly, a piece of chicken leg was picked up and put into his bowl. Qu Qing raised his head and saw that the person who picked up the chicken leg had lowered his head and asked him to eat more in a low voice.

Seeing this, the kitten on the other side also imitated his father, took a piece of meat and put it in his bowl first, ran to his side suddenly, then pulled the meat into Qu Qing's bowl with difficulty, and finally put it into Qu Qing's bowl seriously. Instructed: "Father, you are the pillar of our family, so you should eat more, you can't go hungry, our family depends on you."

Qu Qing didn't know where he learned it from, and while being moved by Nuanxin, he realized for the first time an extremely important problem in his heart.

What is the relationship between him and Hua Zizhou, and what will the two of them do after he leaves.
