Chapter 55: Chapter 54:

Zhong Shiqi finally left, but judging from the look on the county magistrate's

face, Qu Qing guessed that his days back would not be easy.

After the people left, Qu Qing said to the people who had not yet reacted:

"Keep eating, food can't be wasted, even us, it's rare to have a meal of

meat." He also took a piece of spare ribs for the growing body. Jiang Zhu, and

then clipped the cat a little.

Looking up at Hua Zizhou, looking at the little hope hidden in his eyes, he

smiled and gave him his favorite mushrooms. When Hua Zizhou got the vegetables

he picked, he immediately smiled.

Jiang Orion next to him saw the inexplicable sour smell emanating from the two

of them, and felt that he was really indifferent. The tone of voice said:

"Brother Qu Qing, others want it too."

Ad

"Go away." Qu Qing didn't even give him a look. Although the two had already

talked about it when they were drinking last night, he felt that the anger in

his heart had not completely dissipated.

A big man, crying to himself with snot and tears, that he really likes Hua

Zizhou, no matter how he thinks about it, Qu Qing still feels angry.

Everyone watching the interaction between the two of them laughed, Jiang Zhu

grinned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the food in his

mouth.

Qu Qing burst into laughter, and the cold face just now couldn't hold anymore.

He patted Jiang Orion on the shoulder and said, "Look, you laughed out your

son's teeth."

Hua Zizhou next to him comforted: "Jiang Zhu, it's alright, the child's teeth

change is normal, is it the upper teeth or the lower teeth? Throw the upper

teeth under the bed and the lower teeth on the roof, so that the teeth will

grow neatly and beautifully."

After hearing this, Jiang Zhu put down the tableware, pulled the cat, and

happily went out and threw his teeth at the roof.

"Let's go." After eating, Jiang Liehu patted his belly, dragged his son, and

walked back slowly, and before leaving, he winked at Qu Qing.

Qu Qing rolled his eyes at him.

Suddenly there was only one family left at home, and the atmosphere became

tense inexplicably.

While Hua Zizhou was packing, Qu Qing prepared the class for tomorrow, and

then felt restless and wanted to clean up, but the house was neat and

spotless, and he could hardly find a place to start.

To do something, he sat back in his chair.

night……

Brother... how are you going to do it?

He was very nervous at first. Although he had some understanding of the

theory, he had no practical experience after all, but when he saw the

nervousness of Hua Zizhou, he immediately became less nervous.

In the end, he found clean clothes and took the two of them to the bathhouse

by the stream as usual. He heated the water first, but washed himself with

cold water first. Anyway, it was approaching summer, so he was not afraid.

cold.

After going out, he asked Hua Zizhou and Mao'er to hand over the changed

clothes. After waiting for a while, looking at Hua Zizhou's slender and fair

wrists, Qu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly realized that he seemed

to be a little angry now, so he quickly took the clothes. Just look away.

Afterwards, he washed the dirty clothes in the cool stream, and let himself

cool down by touching the contact point.

Hearing the voice outside, Hua Zizhou said uneasily: "Sir, let me wash the

clothes, your hands should be used for reading and writing, you should not do

these things."

Qu Qing's hands didn't stop: "Stop talking nonsense, wash your hands quickly."

Seeing that he didn't listen, Hua Zizhou hurriedly accelerated the bathing

speed, thinking that he should hurry up and wash the clothes later, grab the

clothes and wash them by himself. It will make people laugh.

This time, Hua Zizhou came out twice as fast as before, but it was a pity to

see that Qu Qing had already washed all the clothes.

Seeing him coming out, Qu Qing picked up the basin with wet clothes, two big

and one small, and walked home slowly, accompanied by Hua Zizhou's soft

whisper.

"Sir, in the future, leave the laundry to me, so that others will see it."

Qu Qing said: "It's not often like this, and no one has seen it. Besides, what

do you mean by my hand being the hand that reads and writes? Hua Zizhou, don't

try to escape the homework I gave you."

Hua Zizhou looked embarrassed and said at a loss: "Although this is the case,

in case..."

The sky is getting darker, all the birds are returning to the forest, and a

few smokes from the roofs of the houses in the distance on the opposite side

are slowly dissipating like the last ray of sunset on the horizon.

Qu Qing's heart also calmed down. When he returned home, he and Hua Zizhou

took out the wet clothes and hung them on the bamboo poles in the yard to dry.

After drying, Qu Qing clapped his hands and looked around at the chickens,

ducks, fish and dogs raised in the cage in his yard. There were unfinished

knitting in the corner. A thatched cottage.

It's like a small home, but it's not enough.

It's not enough, he needs to earn a family business, at least enough for Hua

Zizhou to live with the cat for a lifetime without worry.

He has already decided to take up this responsibility, so there is no room for

him to choose to let it go.

At night, the cat was determined to sleep with them, and Hua Zizhou was

embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Tonight, he had been looking forward

to it for a long time, the most important consummation.

He looked at Qu Qing for help, but Qu Qing didn't seem to care. He smiled and

agreed to the cat. The family of three lay down side by side, with the cat

sleeping in the middle.

Hua Zizhou was full of anger, and there was a bit of disappointment in his

eyes. He thought to himself, maybe Qu Qing really didn't care about him that

much, but he just didn't want him to leave, so there would be fewer people in

the family who were busy with him.

Qu Qing could see his emotions, but he didn't open his mouth to comfort him.

Instead, he said without thinking: "I have to go to school tomorrow morning."

Hua Zizhou was even more angry, thinking that this must be a deliberate

refusal to delay, he pouted and said sullenly: "Understood, I will go to bed

early."

Qu Qing was stunned, then smiled heartily. That's not what he meant, it's

really misunderstood.

Kitten grabbed the quilt obediently, raised her eyes and asked, "Dad, what are

you laughing at?"

"You father and son are so cute, so I couldn't help laughing happily. Go to

sleep now, kitten. Daddy and Daddy are with you. Good night." A goodnight kiss

fell on his forehead.

The cat couldn't stop grinning happily. He liked sleeping in the middle like

this the most. It made him feel like the happiest child in the world. He was

protected by someone on his left and right, so he wouldn't be cold or worry

about falling out of bed.

He got up and imitated Qu Qing, kissed Qu Qing, turned around and kissed Hua

Zizhou again: "Dad, Daddy, good night."

Hua Zizhou also said good night to him, looking at the cat closing his eyes

with a smile on the corner of his mouth, while he was happy, he couldn't help

but feel a strong jealousy.

Qu Qing only kissed the cat, and only said goodnight to the cat, what is he?

Qu Qing didn't even say a word to him. Was the promise yesterday still a lie

to him?

Just when he was feeling uneasy and irritable, Qu Qing next to him called him

softly, "Zizhou."

"Yeah." For a moment, he wanted to pretend that he was asleep, but he couldn't

help but respond softly, but the emotion in his voice was not high.

"You didn't blame me? What happened yesterday... Looking back on it later, I

also feel that my behavior yesterday was too extreme, making you sad. I'm

sorry." Qu Qing stretched out his hand and brushed the strands of hair beside

his ear, and said softly.

Hua Zizhou felt sour and choked up slightly: "You don't need to apologize to

me, it's my fault that you are so good to me, I know you are doing it for me

and the cat, I only blame myself for not being able to live up to your

expectations and not being able to please you. "

Qu Qing put his hand on his face and sighed softly: "You, why are you not

liking me, it's clearly..."

"What is it?" Hua Zizhou asked curiously.

Qu Qing didn't say anything, he suddenly lifted the quilt carefully and got

up, and said without end, "The cat is asleep."

What if you fell asleep?

Just as Hua Zizhou was about to say this, he reacted suddenly, the cat fell

asleep, doesn't this imply that they can do bad things?

His face was flushed, and he didn't know how to react.

Seeing that he didn't move, Qu Qing got out of bed, stood beside the bed,

stretched out his hand and said to him, "Give me your hand."

Hua Zizhou slowly gave him the land of his hand. It was clearly something he

had been looking forward to for a long time, but now, he was suddenly hesitant

to be afraid.

Qu Qing saw it, took his hand, pulled the other person into his arms, and said

in his ear: "Don't be afraid, hold me tight, shall we go next door?"

After he finished speaking, he was worried that Hua Zizhou was not completely

ready, so he said again: "If you are really afraid and feel that you are not

ready, then stop. We will consider this matter later, after all, you are still

young."

As soon as Hua Zizhou heard this, he immediately wrapped his arms around Qu

Qing's neck tightly, and said angrily in Qu Qing's ear again and again, "I'm

not too young, sir."

Qu Qing laughed lowly in Hua Zizhou's ear, moved his hand, and went next door

with Hua Zizhou in his arms.

"I have to go to school tomorrow morning." Qu Qing sighed again when he put

Hua Zizhou on the bed.

Hua Zizhou still didn't understand the real meaning of his words.

At the back, he could no longer bear it, and after crying and begging for

several times, Qu Qing reluctantly let go of him, dressed him, took him back,

and went to sleep.

When he was tired and fell asleep in Qu Qing's arms, he suddenly realized the

meaning of Qu Qing's words, he has to go to school tomorrow, so he can only

let you go...

Hua Zizhou's face suddenly became hot again.

The next day, Qu Qing had already woken up before Mao'er found out that his

position had been changed.

He felt refreshed as never before, Hua Zizhou also woke up, Qu Qing kissed the

corner of his mouth: "You are allowed to take a leave today, you can rest at

home, I will take the cat to school later."

"No, I'm going too." Hua Zizhou sat up all of a sudden, but he didn't know

where he met, and he gasped for air.

Qu Qing sat on the edge of the bed and hugged him halfway, and said, "Look, so

don't go, have a good rest, be good."

Hua Zizhou pulled his sleeve and said weakly, "I want to follow you."

Seeing that Qu Qing was also hesitating, he hurriedly said again and again:

"Anyway, I'm just sitting there, I don't need to do any work, I'm fine..."

Qu Qing couldn't be bothered by him, but he finally agreed. When he went to

class, Hua Zizhou looked sleepy, and halfway through the class, he couldn't

help lying on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Just as the children who noticed next to them were about to loudly remind

someone to sleep in class, Qu Qing put his index finger to his lips and made a

shush gesture.

The child who was about to speak was immediately silenced, and the others who

wanted to whisper and make small gestures also quieted down.

Qu Qing lowered her voice slightly and said to all the students, "Mother is a

little uncomfortable, please don't bother him, okay?"

The students nodded one after another, and the class after that was

unbelievably quiet. Only Qu Qing's low-pitched speech, which could be heard by

everyone, rang out in the classroom.

Zhao Xuan'er looked at this scene fascinatedly, envy and loss, and finally

relieved.

She thought, this is probably love.
