Chapter 30: Jiagen & Mr.

Qu Qing planned to put the fields except the grass for two days before

planting corn, so after today, there is generally nothing to do. After getting

up in the morning and having breakfast together, when Hua Zizhou finished

drinking the medicine, he called him and Go to the paddy field together to see

if the seeds in the field have sprouted, whether you need to release water or

store water to soak the seeds and take care of the crops.

Although he had heard the theory of these things and kept them in mind, but if

he was allowed to operate it himself, he was still not 100% sure, and he was

worried that he would not take good care of the crops, so he pulled Hanako up.

With Zhou watching by his side, he will feel more at ease.

Hua Zizhou only regarded him as unfamiliar with farming, and never thought

that he was from another world. He felt very happy about Qu Qing's trust and

attention to him. But now, he is very grateful to himself who has learned all

the farm work well.

Kitten went to play with Jiang Zhu by himself, but didn't follow, so for Hua

Zizhou, it was a rare opportunity for him and Qu Qing to be alone.

He was still very excited about this, and quietly glanced at Qu Qing's normal

face, and immediately moved away nervously, he didn't even know where to put

his hands and feet.

When he went to the field, Qu Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that the

seeds sown a few days ago had begun to germinate, and the tender green leaves

grew very gratifyingly. In particular, he hadn't even seen a ** not long

ago, and he didn't expect that he would now become a farmer who makes a living

by farming.

According to the sequence Hua Zizhou once said, he took a ** to dig up the

mud that blocked the water on the ridge, let the water out, then squatted down

and looked at the seeds in the field that were sprouting a little bit and

said: "Zizhou, look Look, isn't this seedling growing well?"

In this quiet atmosphere, there was no one around, Hua Zizhou suddenly heard

him call his name, his heart jumped, and he turned to look at the seedlings in

the field, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Qu Qing didn't hear a response, so he called out a few more times and repeated

what he just said before Hua Zizhou came back to his senses, stood beside Qu

Qing, bent down slightly, looked at the tender seedlings in the field and

said, "Yes, long It's so good, I believe that after a few months, you will be

able to harvest full rice grains."

"If you are planting rice seedlings, it is estimated that you will be busy for

a few more days." Qu Qing stretched out his fingertips and lightly 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

went to help, he has really helped us a lot recently, we should help him

more."

"Okay." Hua Zizhou hurriedly followed half a step behind him, his head was

slightly lowered, his eyes looked at Qu Qing's waving hand in front of him,

and he suddenly imagined in his mind what it would be like for Qu Qing to hold

his hand, his heart He started jumping wildly.

He wanted to hold Qu Qing's hand, so he couldn't help reaching out, but he

raised his hand in the air, wondering if it would be too abrupt, and worried

that he would be thrown away by Qu Qing, besides, he is still ugly now ,

although he thought that since Qu Qing was willing to let him stay and tacitly

slept with him, then he must be willing to take his own, but he was still

worried in his heart...

After a few months, he has already started taking medicine, and his face will

be fine by then. When he is normal, even if he is not beautiful, at least he

can be like an ordinary person and have the courage to stand by his side.

Maybe at that time, if you go to hold his hand yourself, you don't have to

worry about being rejected.

Thinking of this, the hand he stretched out turned around again, and he tried

to touch his face, but before he touched it, he remembered what Qu Qing had

said that there were "bacteria" on his hand, so he quickly stopped.

It was not far on the way back, but there seemed to be some silence between

the two. 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?"

"Yeah." Hua Zizhou was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he would

suddenly mention this topic.

Qu Qing pondered the language and said, "He doesn't look like he has no

feelings for you. It sounds like your relationship isn't too bad. How was your

life when you were at home?"

"Although there have been many conflicts, which brothers and sisters will not

have conflicts, my second brother, except for throwing away the cat, I

remember that it is not particularly bad, and my mother, In fact, if I were

really ruthless, I would have been kicked out of the house long ago. Where can

I pick up another child and bring it back? My mother is also very hard, and

the family is also very hard. Everyone worked hard, but I still can’t get

enough to eat, and my mother is already very tired in order to marry the

second brother and save the dowry for the younger sisters.”

He had some resentment in his heart, but for some reason, as he spoke, he

incoherently turned into saying good things about his family.

"Your mother...have you saved a dowry for you?" Qu Qing thought, since my

brother is also going to marry, he should pretend like a woman.

After saying this, Hua Zizhou's face suddenly darkened: "Unless it is a very

rich family, my brother will rarely have a dowry, because everyone thinks that

it is better to marry a brother than a woman, and I... It's good-looking,

that's why my mother wants to find someone so urgently."

"Actually, you also care about your mother very much."

"Of course, who doesn't care about his own mother, it's just..." On that day,

if Qu Qing didn't know why he suddenly changed and let him in, he thought that

he and the cat might really die in the barren mountains. Thinking of this, he

felt a little chilled.

Qu Qing said: "You also said that your mother is not that cruel, so if you

have a chance, you should 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, and if you regret it one day, you may not have

a chance. Isn't there a saying like this, a tree wants to be quiet but the

wind doesn't stop, a child wants to be raised but a kiss doesn't wait...

After listening to the village chief's words that day, Qu Qing pondered over

the seemingly vicious woman that day. In the end, no matter from any point of

view, he couldn't think of her as a person who was so heartless that he could

kill his own child. After persuading Hua Zizhou like this, maybe there really

was a misunderstanding that he didn't see during the period.

When Hua Zizhou was told this, the charming thoughts in his heart suddenly

disappeared. He responded sullenly. After a while, he realized that when Qu

Qing said that sentence just now, there was a strong voice in his voice. of

sadness.

Later, he remembered that Qu Qing's parents had already died, so he was so

sad.

Thinking of this, he comforted Qu Qing and said, "Don't be sad, if your

parents see your current state, they will be very pleased."

Qu Qing wanted to say that he didn't have a father, but when the words came to

his lips, he thought that he was not the original owner, so forget it, and in

the end he just answered.

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 Pangban outside

their house. It seemed that the foundation of the house had been planned. ,

found that it was about the same size as his current home, with a few rooms

and a yard.

It looks like he is really going to have a neighbor soon.

Qu Qing went up to help, but Jiang Orion hurriedly told him to stay still:

"Hey, you are a student, don't do these hard work, I can handle it myself."

Qu Qing suddenly felt dumbfounded. Since he said he knew how to read, he found

that the people here spoke to him with a three-pointed politeness and respect,

which made people feel uncomfortable. He didn't listen. , while saying: "What

are you studying? I'm not a farmer now. What's wrong with doing some work? Do

you dislike me for doing a good job?"

Jiang Orion repeatedly refused, but Qu Qing didn't listen, so he had to follow

him in the end. A few people worked together to quickly deal with the

foundation, and then went to start preparing materials, bamboo, thatch, and

tree cutting. I found that here, every day is full of fulfillment.

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

After the village chief asked Qu Qing to read the letter that day, the family

began to happily invite their eldest son back, and their views on Qu Qing

changed completely.

Today, Dahu Zhao just happened to come to the village head to ask a question.

After the village head answered, Dahu Zhao was about to leave, and the village

head suddenly remembered Qu Qing, so he immediately stopped him and asked him

to sit down again:

"Brother Zhao, let me ask you something. You originally planned to set up a

school for us in a few villages. What else do you plan to do?"

When Zhao Dahu heard about this, he sighed and said, "Hey, the village chief,

I really want to do a good thing for the village. The address of the original

school has been selected, and I will wait for the construction to start, but I

can't help it, the only literate scholar in the 10 miles and 8 townships costs

50 taels of silver a month. Do you think I'll give him my life? Even if I make

some money outside, this month, I also earn Not so much money, it only takes a

hundred or so taels to build a school, and he doesn’t want to lose one, so

what else can I do, I can only say forget it.”

The village chief also bought a pass: "Then let me ask you, if I can find you

a cheap gentleman, would you still be willing to build a school? You have to

answer me solemnly, after all, if you build a free school, but Great things

that benefit the five or six villages nearby."

"Really?" Zhao Dahu's eyes lit up and he asked with great interest, "Can you

really find something that is not expensive? Who is willing to continue

teaching? Who is it? How much does he cost a month? To be honest, building a

school and what you need I have all the books, so I really don’t have much to

pay for tuition fees. You know, the village chief, how expensive books are,

and my money is not from the wind. Whoever goes to school will prepare it by

himself."

After going out for many years, Zhao Dahu made money and came back. When he

came back, he still felt that scholars were more respected. He hoped that the

people in his family could be promising and respected. He wanted to send his

son to the school in the county. Said he was in business, but he didn't even

let him in.

Angrily, Zhao Dahu decided to raise funds to build a school when he came back,

so that not only his son could study, but also the children in several nearby

villages could study. Looking forward to who will mention him in the future,

not sourly saying that he is a nouveau riche, but giving him a thumbs up to

praise him.

Although the idea is good, but the material things are easy to handle, but the

husband is hard to find. As soon as most scholars hear that he is in business,

they will look down on others and look down on others. Fifty taels of silver a

month, you must know that in this era, ordinary people only need seven or

eight taels of silver a year. If he wants to give it like this, one day he

will go bankrupt.

Zhao Dahu, who was running into walls everywhere, had no choice but to give up

his plan.

I didn't expect to come to the village chief today, but when I heard the

village chief say this, there was a glimmer of light in my heart, but I

suddenly thought of the arrogant faces of those scholars, and I suddenly gave

up hope.

The village chief said confidently: "You don't have to worry about money, you

just say how much you are willing to pay for a month, and then I will help you

as a lobbyist and keep him willing."

Zhao Dahu didn’t quite believe it. After all, he had searched all the scholars

he could find in Shili Baxiang, and none of them agreed. The village chief was

just a peasant. He really couldn’t imagine who the village chief could find a

scholar.

He was heartbroken by those scholars, so he deliberately said a very low

number: "One tael, at most one tael a month, I won't go out again."

When the village chief heard this, he slapped his thigh: "It's okay, you can't

go back on it. I'll go and tell someone today, you can go back and wait for my

good news."

The excited look of the village chief made Zhao Dahu not convinced. He

wondered, could he really find a teacher who is willing to pay such a low

price?

The village chief was so happy that he couldn't sit still. His wife asked him

if he had found a lot of money on the road, and he said, "That's better than

picking up a lot of money. You said, if our village can build a school, What a

good thing that would be,

Maybe we will get a champion from our village in the future. That's really

amazing. Even if we don't get the champion, but those from ten miles and eight

townships can put together money to build a school, it will definitely be the

only one. If the village is good, Do you think I will have a credit when that

time comes? Maybe the county magistrate will reward us at that time! "

The village chief's daughter-in-law was inexplicable, but the youngest next to

him understood at once: "Father, you are not planning to ask Brother Qu Qing

to be the teacher of the school, will it be a little unreliable? He has a bad

reputation. Do you think Zhao Dahu would agree?"

"You don't know, how much effort Zhao Dahu has spent in order to get his

children to study, and how many people have looked down upon him, do you think

he will not? But I'm going to talk about Qu Qing, wait for me. Change clothes

and go now, I don't know if he is at home or in the field today."

The youngest said, "It should be at home. We only removed the grass yesterday,

and said that we will wait two days before planting corn."

The village chief immediately changed into new clothes that he would only wear

during the Chinese New Year.

Qu Qing was at home and Jiang Hunter was cutting bamboo and moving back when

he saw the village chief walking towards his house. Several people quickly

stopped to entertain him. The village chief waved his hand and said, "This is

going to build a house, Jiang Hunter. , you're busy first, I'm here to talk to

Qu Qing about something important."

So Qu Qing asked him to go in and sit down. Although Jiang Liehu was a little

curious, he continued to do his own work. Hua Zizhou poured them two bowls of

hot white water. Qu Qing glanced at him and said to the village chief: " The

family is poor 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 a

little strangely in his heart, at that moment, it was too similar, his

cooperation with Hua Zizhou looked like a real couple .

Seeing his appearance, the village chief also said: "This brother of the Hua

family is really sensible now, although he doesn't look good, but he works

neatly, is sensible and obedient, and takes care of the inside and outside of

the family. Not bad, so I think Qu Qing, you still made money, picking up a

daughter-in-law for nothing, and your mother-in-law hasn't asked you for a

betrothal gift."

Qu Qing smiled and didn't answer, and directly asked the village chief what

was going on here.

As soon as this was mentioned, the village chief's face became serious, and he

approached Qu Qing mysteriously: "I found you a job for a minute and a month

and a tael of silver, and you can say whether you are willing to take it. "

Qu Qing was a little surprised: "Village chief, don't be joking, you know how

much money my family is short of right now, but even if it is short of money,

I won't do anything illegal or criminal."

The village chief's teeth almost didn't fall out of laughter: "Why do you

think so, can I 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 only if you Willing to do it, of course, you

can do this alone."

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

The village chief deliberately made a fool of himself, stood up, walked to the

shredded paper where Qu Qingfang had written the list of meat swaps that day,

picked up the piece of paper, and kept complimenting: "Qu Qing, what you wrote

It's really good, even if I'm illiterate, I think he writes well."

Qu Qing stood beside him and looked at his charcoal pen, which was really not

good-looking. There were also reasons for the pen, and it was also because he

hadn't written well for many years.

"The village chief has won the prize, that is, I learned calligraphy for two

years when I was a child, but now I am a lot unfamiliar, and I can barely

understand what I have learned."

"I have also learned calligraphy, which is really amazing." The village chief

became more and more satisfied with Qu Qing's current appearance. 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, you don't need how much real talent you need to learn, it is

enough to be able to teach children to read. In this day and age, being able

to read is a great thing, and this is also a matter of fact. It's not

difficult, the book will be prepared for you when the time comes. You can

teach the children whatever is on it. Don't be afraid that you can't do it

yourself. It's not asking you to teach a champion. Of course, if you can teach

one or two It would be better to be the champion."

After the village chief finished speaking, Qu Qing laughed together.

Qu Qing didn't expect that someone would hand him a pillow when he wanted to

fall asleep. He took a sip of boiled water and asked, "Is it the school that

Zhao Dahu wants to set up to find a teacher?"

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

Hua Zizhou put the bowl of boiled water on the table, touched the edge of the

bowl with his fingertips, and vaccinated the village chief in advance: "I

heard Zizhou say before that this opportunity can really fall on my head, of

course I Yes, it's just my ability. I can only teach children reading,

literacy, arithmetic, etc. It's really not good to take the top-ranking

imperial examinations. I don't have such a great ability. of."

He still has a very clear understanding of the difference between his

knowledge and the ancient Eastern Imperial Examination.

"Don't worry about this, as long as you can teach reading and literacy, it

will be enough, then you agree, this matter is settled, when the school is

completed, you will be the only gentleman in our ten miles and eight

townships. , a tael of silver a month, you also accept it, right?"

"Of course I accept it. It's already very good." A tael of silver is really a

lot. In this era, he can earn a calf's money in three months. He can't think

of any reason for him to refuse. Make money and do good deeds to literate

people here.

The village chief just left happily. Before leaving, he borrowed a few pieces

of paper that Qu Qing had written on, saying that he would show it to Dahu

Zhao and return it to him tomorrow.

Of course Qu Qing agreed.

He originally thought that he would go to Zhao Dahu to recommend himself after

the farming work was over, but he did not expect the village chief to help him

and take the initiative to help him match up.

Qu Qing sent the village chief away, and the others looked at him with joy and

asked curiously. After Qu Qing said that he might want to be a husband, both

Hua Zizhou and Jiang Orion were shocked for a moment.

The last group of people were very happy for him. Jiang Hunter was so happy as

if someone in his family had been admitted to the top spot. That night, he

went to the wine seller in the village to make a pound of bayberry wine and

kill the chicken. To celebrate, Qu Qing disagreed. Jiang Hunter took advantage

of Qu Qing’s time to go out to fetch water. He killed the chickens and plucked

them. Qu Qing couldn’t help laughing and crying, but all the chickens were

killed, so he had no choice but to ate.

That night, we ate like a New Year's Eve, and we were about to set off a

cannonball battle to celebrate. Except for the two little ones who ate

vegetables, the three adults drank half a bowl of wine each.

Even Qu Qing, a modern person, felt that this was a bit extravagant, but

seeing that everyone was sincerely happy for him, he felt happy from the

bottom of his heart.

Jiang Orion slapped his forehead when he heard the mention of the gun battle:

"Hey, why did I forget, I'll go buy it now."

Qu Qing quickly grabbed the man and pressed him down and sat down: "This

matter has not been settled yet, let's see first, you really don't know what

to say about you, come here, have a toast, whether it's successful or not. If

it doesn’t work, I’m happy today, if it doesn’t work, then I’ll still be a

teacher, and Jiang Zhu and Mao’er will learn something no matter what, right?

I’ll teach them everything I know.”

Jiang Orion hugged him hard, almost not squeezing Qu Qing's lungs out, Jiang

Orion quickly let go and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my ancestors

counted eighteen generations, and there is no such thing as Literacy, now you

say you want to teach my son to read and write, I'm so excited..."

Qu Qing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and continued to eat meat.

Seeing how the people here knew that knowledge was important, but had no way

to get in touch with it, he had a vague idea in his heart that maybe he could

try it. Do you want to engage in basic education here and pass on knowledge to

the villagers here?

It was only ten years anyway, and then he went home by himself, which was

considered a good deed that was beneficial to the people.

Suddenly, pieces of chicken legs were placed in front of him and placed in his

bowl. Qu Qing raised his head and saw that the person who put the chicken legs

had buried his head and whispered to him to eat more.

Seeing this, the kitten on the side also imitated his father, put a piece of

meat in his bowl, ran to him suddenly, and then pulled the meat chop into Qu

Qing's bowl with difficulty, and at the end still seriously. He instructed:

"Father, you are the backbone of our family, so you have to eat more, you

can't go hungry, our family depends on you."

Qu Qing didn't know where he learned it from, but at the same time he was

moved, he realized an extremely important issue for the first time in his

heart.

What is the relationship between him and Hua Zizhou, and what will happen to

the two of them after he leaves.
