Chapter 41

The teaching career of Quqinghuajia Village is officially on the right track.

Zhao Xuan'er, who originally looked down on Qu Qing, changed her mind completely after being taught for two days. From a contemptuous person, she became an admirer of Teacher Qu Qing, and even a little fan girl.

After two days of study, Hua Zizhou finally understood how difficult it was for him to be the best student in this class.

Among these 40 students. Even the youngest cat seemed much smarter than him.

He always felt that he was so clumsy no matter what, he was studying the Three Character Classic a few days ago. When he memorized the first paragraph, he went up and felt that he could still accept this kind of learning, but when it came to writing, he felt that the pen in his hand was out of his control.

After comparing the words he wrote with Qu Qing and others, he fell into a complete depression.

After school in the afternoon, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed to meet people, so he didn't even wait for Qu Qing, so he went home by himself to prepare dinner.

Seeing that he seemed to be very depressed all night, Qu Qing took him out for a walk after dinner, talked to him by the way, and tried to comfort him.

"Actually, you did a good job, don't be discouraged."

"Then how do I compare with Zhao Xuan'er?"

"Now you are still a little far behind him, so you should be more serious."

Hua Zizhou suddenly slumped.

He thought of a way to comfort him with a few other words, telling him not to feel lost. If he can't, he will learn more. With his teacher here, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Hua Zizhou reluctantly listened, but his heart was far less optimistic than Qu Qing, and what worried him was not just because he couldn't learn it by himself, but because he saw how good Zhao Xuan'er was in class.

Zhao Xuaner said that she had never learned to read or write, but she had memorized the Three Character Classic and could write it down silently. With this ability alone, Zhao Xuan'er has become the most dazzling star in the entire class, and even Qu Qing has obvious admiration in his eyes.

And Hua Zizhou found that in everyone's eyes, he was just a brother of the husband's family. Other than that, his performance was mediocre.

He was thinking of his own situation at home, changed more, and had a strong sense of crisis.

Since the last time he came back from the town, Qu Qing used the quilt he bought to sleep in a separate room with him.

On the day of the bed separation, he naturally disagreed, and the cat did not agree either. The cat finally had a father, and he had not fully felt the warmth of his father, so how could he want to be separated from his father, but Qu Qing this time Very determined, no matter how the cat cried, no matter how he objected, Qu Qing was not moved at all. At that time, he resolutely said, either move over by himself, or move over by Hua Zizhou.

That day was originally the happiest day for Hua Zizhou. He really gained the status of the other half of Qu Qing's family, but when the bed was split, he was not so happy, and even had some regrets, wondering if it was because He insisted on going to the government to get a certificate, so Qu Qing decided to sleep in a separate room with him. Does he feel that he is too dissatisfied?

The days passed by like this. Just when he was in Huazizhou, when he was about to accept the fact that Qu Qing would sleep in a separate room with him forever, he found that Zhao Xuan'er in the class fell in love with Qu Qing, and Qu Qing was very gentle to her.

In the eyes of everyone, Qu Qing also loved this female student very much. Everyone who went out said that Mr. Qu's favorite student was Zhao Xuan'er.

Zhao Xuan'er lived up to expectations, and often found various reasons to stick to Qu Qing after class, and even became the monitor of the class by virtue of her own advantages.

This is because she is excellent, which is understandable, but Hua Zizhou found out that she was in the place where Qu Qing was not, and consciously or unintentionally satirized herself as ugly and stupid. How could she be qualified to marry such a handsome, smart and learned Mr. people.

However, what struck him the most was that Mao'er, Jiang Zhu, and Qu Qing liked her very much.

At first, he thought these were just illusions, but one day, when he went to see Uncle Dong alone, he met Zhao Xuanjier, because she often gave everyone candy, so everyone liked her.

Hua Zizhou doesn't like her, so he never eats her candy, even if it's his favorite thing.

Zhao Xuan'er told him honestly that she liked Mr. Qu Qing, she wanted to marry Qu Qing, let Hua Zizhou give up her position earlier, and offered to be small, she would take care of him when she married and became big.

When Zhao Xuan'er said these words, even if she looked a little bad, she couldn't hide her beauty and love for Qu Qing, but she was not allowed to show her upright love.

Hua Zizhou found that he envied her, not because her family was rich and could eat candy every day, but because she could openly like Qu Qing, and Qu Qing was not disgusted.

Hua Zizhou clenched his fists and defended Zhao Xuan'er palely. He said that Qu Qing and I have already gone to the government to get a certificate, we are already a couple recognized by the government, and he has promised that he will never marry again.

He stammered a lot, and the more Zhao Xuaner listened, the more he felt that he was lying.

Zhao Xuan'er smiled and said nonchalantly: "Even so, so what? Even if you have clarified, then he can divorce you, and you are just a shameless unchaste who brought a strange child into the house. It's just a brother, who doesn't know about it in the village? Besides, my family is so rich, and if you marry me, you can become rich in no time, do you think Qu Qing can resist?"

Hua Zizhou gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "Qu Qing will never let me go."

He himself knew how baseless what he said, and the person on the other side seemed to hear it.

Zhao Xuan'er let out a laugh and turned her head charmingly. The first said to Hua Zizhou: "Then let's take a look."

From this day onwards, Hua Zizhou and Zhao Xuan'er have been comparing openly and secretly.

Zhao Xuan'er is the only girl in the class. She has memorized the book ahead of time. She is very smart. She dresses beautifully and elegantly. She has money at home, so she is highly sought after by her classmates.

And Hua Zizhou looked at himself, he was one of the few brothers in the class, but not only did he not have any amazing talents, but he was so famous for his ugly reputation, so when he was carrying Qu Qing, those villagers The children would mock him and call him ugly, and the classmates in the class, under the leadership of Zhao Xuan'er, excluded him.

There were always people around him saying that he was not worthy of Qu Qing, and after living in such an environment for a long time, he became increasingly unhappy.

Finally, after Zhao Xuan'er pretended to have a broken foot one day, Qu Qing, who didn't see it, carried him to Doctor Dong himself, and Hua Zizhou, who had endured for a long time, broke out.

And the way he broke out was skipping class!

That's right, he carried Qu Qing behind his back and skipped class in front of everyone in the class.

It was one afternoon, and Hana Zizhou threw down the textbook and went home.

In the evening, Qu Qing went back and looked at someone who was so busy doing housework and skipping class, who made the family look brand new, and his voice raised a little bit: "You're good at it, Hua Zizhou, how long has it been since you learned to skip class?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qu Qing walked up to him, reached out and shook his hand in front of him: "What happened to you? What happened while I was away?"

"I don't want to go to school anymore." Hua Zizhou stopped his movements and suddenly said this to Qu Qing.

Qu Qing looked at him for a while in surprise, then said: "Well, if you really don't want to learn, then forget it."

He knows that this kind of thing cannot be forced. Anyway, this world doesn't need to learn any knowledge. It's boring for him to force others to learn. Besides, for people in this world, brother, almost no one learns to read and write. Son, maybe what he did did not make Hua Zizhou feel happy, but was a heavy burden. If he really didn't like it, it was really unnecessary. He just hoped that Hua Zizhou could live a happier and more relaxed life. , don't live so hard anymore.

Unexpectedly, after he finished saying this, Hua Zizhou was not only not happy, but became anxious: "I don't... I just said angry words just now, it's just that reading is too hard, that's why I said this, it wasn't my sincere words just now, You... don't take it seriously, I have to go to school tomorrow, I'm really just too tired to do this today."

joke!

Hua Zizhou thought to himself, how could he let that **** Zhao Xuan'er succeed? If he didn't go to school from now on, then maybe when he couldn't see it, how could that **** pick up Qu Qing every day, saying At some point, Qu Qing will be seduced! He absolutely won't allow this to happen.

Hua Zizhou knew that he couldn't sit still like this anymore, he suddenly remembered what his mother once said to him: take the initiative and plan, don't just be stupid and only know how to work every day, if you don't know how to plan how to get With the love of her husband, one day he will no longer be able to tie a man like Qu Qing.

The appearance of Zhao Xuan'er is a living example.

He felt that he had to do something. An idea gradually appeared in Hua Zizhou's heart, and his determination became more and more firm, and there was a fearless light in his eyes.

When Qu Qing slept at night, in the gap between waking up vaguely, he heard the low cry of a kitten and another person next door, and there seemed to be fear in the cry. This voice sounded very familiar. Now, after thinking for a while, he suddenly reflected, isn't this the voice of Hua Zizhou?

He was shocked. Could it be that something happened next door? Thinking that Hua Zizhou and Mao'er are just two brothers with no strength to hold the chicken, and their yard is actually not solid. If a thief really enters and encounters any danger, I am afraid they will have a hard time dealing with it, and there may be danger. .

Thinking of this, Qu Qing suddenly panicked in his heart, and immediately turned over and got out of bed and took out a stick. He didn't have time to put on his shoes. He opened the door and ran to the next door. When he opened the door, he anxiously shouted to the inside: "Zizhou cat, are you alright? What's the matter? Why did I hear someone crying? What happened? Tell me now, if you don't speak, I'll break the door! "

"Dad!" Kitten's crisp voice sounded, and after a while his footsteps approached the door, crying to open the door, the door bolt slammed, and it opened in two clicks, and walked over in the dark, asking Said: "What's the matter, cat? Why is your father crying?"

The kitten pursed his mouth and his chest was heaving violently. He looked a little flustered, but at this time he tried to calm himself down and said while crying, "I don't know why Daddy keeps crying and crying, but why? I can't wake up either, I'm so scared, woo woo... Dad, what's going on, daddy will be okay, go and see him! Daddy, he's never been like this before."

Qu Qing hurriedly walked over, lying on the bed and reaching out to reach out, and found that Hua Zizhou's eyes were tightly closed, his body and arms seemed to be unable to move, but the cry of fear kept coming out of his mouth.

A word flashed in Qu Qing's mind for the first time, ghost press.

He tried to push Hua Zizhou a few times and called his name loudly at the same time. Fortunately, it was not serious, and it didn't take long for him to wake up, otherwise he really planned to call Jiang Orion next door.

The first thing Hua Zizhou did when she came here was to hug Qu Qing and sob: "I was so scared just now... I almost thought I would never see you again, I was clearly awake, but I couldn't wake up... I couldn't move. I feel like someone is pressing me down, as if someone is blowing in my ear, it's eerie, I'm so scared..."

Qu Qing hugged him and kept stroking his back.

Although he himself has never been pressed by a ghost, he once had a friend who experienced it, so Qu Qing learned from others how terrifying it is to be pressed by a ghost. He felt a little distressed about Hua Zizhou, so he would not The place to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid with me by your side."

Hua Zizhou hugged Qu Qing tightly: "I'm afraid I'm really scared, I feel that there is still a pair of cold eyes looking at me in the dark, I beg you, can I sleep with you tonight, just tonight, okay? Please..."

Feeling his trembling body, Qu Qing only hesitated before agreeing to her: "Okay, sleep with me tonight, it's alright, don't be afraid, let's go over now."

Sock Boat followed him out of bed, as if he was too afraid. When he landed, his feet softened and he almost fell to the ground. Qu Qing was quick and quick, hugged him, and finally sighed, and simply hugged him horizontally. With the cat, I went back to the wide bed that they slept together not long ago.

remember

Hua Zizhou hugged him tightly all night and didn't let go.

Qu Qing thought that he was really frightened. A person with such courage was actually frightened like this.

And Hua Zizhou was very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect his acting skills to be so good. He almost believed it just now.

Chapter 42

Huajia Village has undergone gratifying changes recently.

People in the village found that the children who went to the school not only learned how to read and write, but also recited poems for their elders at home. In an instant, the whole village seemed to be full of cultural atmosphere.

Not only that, the children who study in the school seem to become smart and sensible overnight. When they meet their elders, they greet them obediently. When they meet someone who needs help, they will take the initiative to help. If they are helped by others, they will be very helpful. Say thank you politely. If you do something wrong, you will also say sorry seriously. Everyone has a similar appearance. You can tell that it is the child taught by Qu Qing at a glance.

At this time, almost all the villagers had forgotten what the prodigal Qu Qing looked like in the past, and the learned and polite image in front of them had been deeply imprinted in the minds of the whole village.

When people in the village pass by the school to work in the fields, they can always hear the sound of children reading books. What is the day when the mountains are exhausted, the Yellow River flows into the sea, and there are several plum trees in the corners, Ling Han is driving alone, People in these catchy poetry villages may not fully know what it means, but it does not prevent them from falling in love with them. Some people even memorize them without realizing it. Take it out and show off, so that others can envy it.

The changes in the children also made the villagers believe that Qu Qing is indeed a capable teacher. Even the most mischievous children in the village are as obedient as a donkey in front of him. When he came to worship as a god, his eyes were always full of thirst for knowledge, which undoubtedly made Qu Qing even more like the activity of teaching them to learn knowledge. This sense of accomplishment is indescribable.

Children learn in class, find interesting things, and they will talk to their family when they go home. Gradually, people in the village also learn more or less about the world they have never been exposed to through the mouths of the children.

The emperor didn't use a gold **** to farm the land, and the concubine in the palace didn't bake a pie. It turns out that the officials and gentlemen are not what they imagined. Every day, like living in heaven, they will have their own troubles.

The people in the village also respected Qu Qing more and more, and the good skills in class gradually spread to other villages.

Fourteen-year-old Qian Meihua's younger brother was studying in Qu Qing's school. She learned about this teacher from her brother's mouth. People in the village were also complimenting this. Qian Meihua also began to be curious about Mr. Qu Qing. What kind of person is he?

In fact, she is very envious of her younger brother. If she can go to school, she can't go because she is a girl. The family says that there is no reason for girls to study in the world. Besides, she is already engaged and will get married soon. people.

The place where she wants to marry is a very far away village. After she is married, she may not come back once in a few years. The family did not want her to go out before the big wedding, but under her repeated pleas , she finally got a chance to send her brother to school.

It was that morning that she went to the school, and she finally got to meet the legendary Mr. Qu. Before she met, she thought that he was at most an old-fashioned old man with a beard. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly had a young and handsome face. Aged man.

The husband is very tall. Although his short hair is a bit strange, it does not affect his handsome and elegant face at all. The husband is not as cold as the legendary scholar. When he took his younger brother in, the other party even treated him to himself. She showed a shallow smile, although she knew it was just a polite smile, but her heartbeat still couldn't be controlled a little faster.

Qian Meihua thought, such a man must have stirred the hearts of many girls in Huajia Village.

She noticed that most of the women who sent their children to study in the morning were women, and most women couldn't help but keep their eyes on Mr. Qu Qing's face frequently. It seems that they are looking forward to the lover in their hearts to look back at them a few more times.

However, what Qian Meihua found most interesting was the female student sitting in the academy. Before that, he never knew that women could also study in the academy.

Classes started soon, and all the girls in the village went to work on their own, leaving only the memory of her outside the window.

She didn't want to go home so early, and was very curious about what the school was like, so she stood outside, pawing at the window and looking in on her toes.

When she was at home, she always heard from her brother how interesting Mr. Qu was in class. Every day, what his brother looked forward to most was to go to the school.

She thought it was just the freshness of a child at most, but she didn't expect that when she came to listen, she found that this gentleman's class was actually very interesting.

From the husband's mouth, he saw talented poets, interesting stories in history, and allusions of various interesting idioms, as if a picture scroll slowly unfolded in front of her, which made people fascinated. It was so quiet outside that only the gentle voice of Mr.

Qian Meihua became a little crazy when she heard it, and didn't even notice that her feet were numb.

Qu Qing also finally noticed the girl outside who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. Seeing that he was listening seriously, he simply went out and asked her with a kind smile, "Would you like to come in and listen?"

Qian Meihua seemed to be frightened. When she moved, her numb feet suddenly broke out. She fell back and fell to the ground. Before the husband came, she got up and ran numbly.

"Hey you..."

Qu Qing took a few glances, sighed slightly, and then returned to the classroom and said to everyone: "It's all right, come and continue the class, everyone, come and read this poem with me."

In fact, after I started teaching, this kind of thing is very common in the plot. There are always people taking lessons outside from time to time. Most of them are girls, and occasionally there are one or two women. It's not a long time to listen outside with a hoe. No, but most of them just listen quietly outside, let them come in and listen, they will never accept it.

Qu Qing knows that most of the girls who come here want to come in to study, but their elders don't want to let girls study. This is really a gender bias, so when those girls come to take classes, he never objected, but instead It is to have the students open all the windows so they can see what's going on inside the classroom.

He will also teach the students that respecting teachers and Taoism is as important as respecting women, and will tell them how hard their mothers have worked to give birth to them.

This teaching life, plain but full of meaning, made Qu Qing feel stable.

He gets up early to eat every day, prepares lessons, and then goes to the school to start teaching. Instead, when Hua Zizhou is the furthest away in get out of class, they don't have much interaction. After class, most of their communication is focused on studying during the day. In terms of content, they occasionally go to the fields to do farm work together, but there is nothing too intimate. They seem to be perfectly separated by an invisible barrier.

Qu Qing felt that his heart was much calmer. Between him and Hua Zizhou, only when he was sleeping at night, because he was afraid of a ghost pressing the bed, he still slept with him. At other times, they could be very comfortable. Keep a good distance, and your heart will not become chaotic and strange.

That's good, keep it up, and pass ten years quietly, that's enough. Qu Qing thought so.

Compared with husband and wife, he felt that he and Hana Zizhou were more like friends, even like nodding acquaintances. Hua Zizhou's performance in the school can almost be said to be a silent and transparent person. Occasionally, when he looks at Hua Zizhou, he will find that he is watching him. Whenever this time, Qu Qing will feel that his heart is there It became a little strange, so he gradually controlled himself and stopped looking at Hana Zizhou.

He really thought that this would be good, but he didn't realize that for Hua Zizhou, such deliberate neglect was not good, and even caused misunderstanding and harm.

The school's teaching activities were very smooth, and the children were very obedient, but this did not mean that Qu Qing did not encounter any difficulties.

Right now, when the children are reading and writing, the inferior brushes he made by himself are really not very useful. They are almost broken for half a month, and the bamboo sticks that the students use to write are also very good. It is inconvenient. First, it is very trivial and inconvenient to carry. Another point is that this thing is very easy to scratch the children's hands. Almost most of the children in the class have holes that are injured by the thin thorns of the bamboo skewers.

Looking at these, Qu Qing gradually came up with an idea, can he start making paper by himself? If paper can be made, it can not only solve the problem of students' writing, but also sell the paper produced, so that they can earn a sum of money belonging to the school, and even he can teach the students how to make paper. Let the students learn something really practical and useful, after all, paper is still a relatively expensive luxury in this place.

However, Qu Qing did not understand the method of making paper, so he could only hold this idea in his mind temporarily, and wait for a chance to find a method of making paper in the future.

As a respected teacher in the village, Qu Qing won the respect of the students, but also lost some channels to hear some gossip.

Before he knew it, there was a saying in the class that Mr. Qu Qing did not like Hua Zizhou and accepted the entry of Hua Zizhou only because of his kindness, and Hua Zizhou relied on the teacher's kindness to die. He didn't leave home, and he also brought a little monster known as ominous.

In short, the meaning of the rumors is that their husband had to live with an ugly brother in the name of husband and wife because Hua Zizhou and Mao'er lived in dire straits.

Before Qu Qing was aware of it, these rumors became more and more eloquent. Even when he usually did not communicate with Hua Zizhou in class, it became the evidence from the students' mouths, which made the students in the class believe this rumor even more. authenticity.

Everyone says that Hua Zizhou is not worthy of Qu Qing, and even when people in the village get together and talk about the teachers of our Huajia Village School, they always say, "Oh, it's a pity, Qu Qing is so talented. How can a person marry an ugly person?"

There are many people who have said it, and sometimes even Hua Zizhou has heard it. For him, it is not the rumors that hurt people, but that what those rumors say are true. Qu Qing did leave himself out of sympathy. He has a good heart, so he couldn't bear to drive him away, otherwise who would keep him with a child like him.

When Qu Qing suddenly returned to the school to pick up things, he discovered the situation that Hua Zizhou was facing.

Before entering the school's grocery room, he heard the voices of several people talking from the backyard of the school.

"Ugly, you are relying on our teacher Qu Qing's kindness, so you are relying on him not to leave, right? Do you know etiquette and shame? Have you spent so long in class in vain?"

Such mean words made Xu Qing's brows wrinkle all of a sudden, and the action of opening the door in his hand stagnated in mid-air, pricked up his ears and continued to listen.

Another voice said: "It's not that we are too much, it's you who are like you, you are not worthy of our teacher at all, everyone can see that the teacher doesn't like you at all, and now the teacher keeps you and the cat, but It's just because of sympathy. I hope you will be content soon. If you still have a conscience, then you'd better leave on your own initiative. An excellent person like our teacher, if not dragged down by you and that little monster, will definitely be able to marry a lady , instead of being dragged down by you and living in a shabby thatched hut."

Qu Qing felt very hurt when he heard these words, he knew immediately who they were talking about.

Hua Zizhou, and cats. It turns out that cats don't have playmates because they are young, but they are still discriminated against.

The two voices were obviously his students. After they finished speaking, the air was quiet for a long time. Obviously, Hua Zizhou didn't reply to them.

The two of them saw Hua Zizhou bowing his head and didn't answer a word. They were obviously a little angry. They were about to push and shove, but suddenly they saw the figure of Hana Zi walking behind, and immediately closed their mouths and said in a panic: " Old... teacher!"

Hua Zizhou also raised his head abruptly and looked in Qu Qing's direction, the moist corner of his eyes suddenly made Qu Qing look straight.

With a stab in his heart, he walked over with a cold face, grabbed Hua Zizhou's shoulders, and said angrily to several students: "Maybe my behavior has caused everyone to misunderstand, but I let him sit in this school, it has already explained After all, who is spreading rumors in private? He is your wife, how dare you talk to him like this?"

Hua Zizhou suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Qu Qing, forgetting to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Remember the old... teacher..."

He stared at them, his chest heaving violently: "You are so disappointing to me!"

How good is Qu Qing's temper, after more than half a month of getting along, everyone knows that no matter how naughty the child is, Qu Qing can teach patiently with a smile and follow a good manner. The classmates have discussed it privately. will be angry.

But now, because of what the two of them said to Hua Zizhou, Qu Qing was angry, unprecedentedly angry, he even said the word disappointment to his own students, which made the two students in front of him panic.

They never imagined that they would pay such attention to Hua Zizhou, and even asked them to call them Mistress.

They apologized at a loss: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry teacher, we were wrong!"

"Master! I'm sorry, we also heard what others said, so we misunderstood."

So far ignoring them, full of Hana Zizhou and went straight home.

These students should give them some serious reflection.

Chapter 43:

As soon as he entered the door, Qu Qing asked Hua Zizhou to sit down, then glared at him and said, "Are you stupid, two 11- or 12-year-old kids can scold you like this? You are such a big white man. It's too long? They're rude to you, so you can't beat it back? Curse it back?"

Hua Zizhou said dully, "I don't want to cause you trouble."

It's okay not to say this, Qu Qing became even more angry when he said this: "What do you mean you don't want to cause me trouble? You are being bullied like this, so you didn't cause me trouble, you were bullied, scolded and cried. Now, can I feel better in my heart? Tell me when the time comes, oh, people say that this Qu Qing is still a husband, and he can't even protect his own brother, is that so?"

"I'm sorry..." Although he said so, but when Hua Zizhou heard him calling him "my brother", he was still a little bit happy in his heart.

Qu Qing looked at him slumped, sighed slightly, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the corners of his still-dry eyes, and his voice softened:

"I didn't want you to say I'm sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for, it's me that I'm sorry for you, I didn't look up to you, and I didn't show the importance of you in front of everyone. I originally thought it was for your own good, but now I want to... It's too wishful thinking, they must have been like this for a while, I was negligent, and in the future, I will order you, if anyone dares to say that in front of you again, you will beat them back, and I will be responsible for the damage."

Being treated so tenderly by him, the grievances in Hua Zizhou's heart suddenly felt like a flood that burst a dike.

Qu Qing grabbed his wrist and stopped him from rudely treating his cheek. With the other hand, he gently wiped away his tears and grievances with a handkerchief:

"Oh, these tears are about to drown our family, Hua Zizhou, you said that you are usually bored and don't say anything. Am I dead in this house? If something happens to you, shouldn't you take the initiative to talk to me? Let me tell you? If I don't find out today, then you will let them abuse you like this?"

"But... they are your students, you usually like them very much, how can I do something to them."

"What's wrong with the students I like? Could my students be able to insult their teachers in a fair and honest way? It's because they are still young, so they should be educated well. Do they have to wait until they commit murder and commit Farah before telling them that , did you do something wrong?"

Hua Zizhou's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he lowered his head with a slightly gloomy expression: "But...isn't what they said really true, although it's a bit poisonous."

Qu Qing stretched out his hands and pressed his cheeks, making him look up at himself: "Hua Zizhou, tell me? Which sentence are they right?"

Hua Zizhou opened his mouth, lowered his eyes, and stated sentence by sentence: "I rely on you not to go, drag you down, I am ugly, and I don't like you, I am not satisfied, I don't know..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was squeezed tightly by Qu Qing on his cheeks, and his mouth was forced to pout. He wanted to continue to speak, but after meeting Qu Qing's eyes, he was stunned. Stay, don't talk anymore.

He couldn't tell what kind of eyes Qu Qing looked like. His dark brown pupils were full of soul-stirring emotions. They were so beautiful that they were heartbreaking. He seemed sad, but also wanted to say something else. The only thing he could understand was that Qu Qing didn't like what he said.

Qu Qing and him looked at each other for a while, let go of his cheek, reached out and brushed the broken hair on his forehead, and whispered, "Don't look down on yourself like this, Hua Zizhou, don't look down on yourself like that."

He said it twice in a row, looking at Hua Zizhou's expression, he knew that his words were useless, so he took the words he had just belittled, looked at him seriously, and explained patiently sentence by sentence.

"You didn't rely on me not to leave. In fact, the opposite was true. I was relying on you and didn't want you to leave. Neither you nor the cat dragged me down. Without your company, I just don't know how bad my life would be. What, in fact, when I first met you, I didn't know how to farm at all. You know, I said I wanted to test you, but in fact, it was because I didn't know anything, so I tried my best to ask you...

I want to say, it's great to meet you when I came to this world. You have helped me to share all the pressures I have at home, and I feel a lot easier, so you are not my burden. Do you understand what I'm saying? "

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing and felt his heart beating faster and faster: "You used to have a good life at home, and you have never been on the ground, so it's normal if you don't..."

Qu Qing continued: "Also, being dissatisfied is a good thing. Only when people are dissatisfied will they think about living a better life. I allow you to be dissatisfied. Other words to scold you are all nonsense. When you want to scold someone, you can say that he is shameless to anyone, but you must not say this to yourself, do you understand?"

"Finally, and most importantly, Hua Zizhou, you're not ugly at all, and I don't dislike you either."

Hua Zizhou blinked, the tears had stopped for some time, but the tears in his eyes were still wet, looking moist: "You don't have to comfort me like this, I'm much better, but... Like, this sentence... do you like it or not?"

Qu Qing moved his hand and was silent for a while, then he calmly explained: "This is a grammar problem, double negation means affirmation, it's okay if you don't understand it now, I will teach it later, this sentence is not important, the important thing is the front That sentence, I didn't comfort you, I didn't lie to you, forget it, it's useless to tell you, tomorrow morning, you go to town with me."

"Okay." Hua Zizhou nodded dumbly, still thinking about what the phrase "double negative expresses affirmation" just now means. He thinks that he should be able to understand this sentence on weekdays, but why does he suddenly feel that I don't understand, is that what he meant? Or just misunderstood?

Qu Qing seemed to have deliberately changed the subject, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.

When it was time for dinner, Jiang Orion came on time. Although he could also open fire in his newly built house, since Qu Qing went to see Jiang Orion's cooking level once, he forced people to bring people into the house to open fire and eat together. With a word, the other party came.

"It doesn't matter to you, but when Jiang Zhu is growing, you should think about him."

Hua Zizhou is basically in charge of dinner now, and Qu Qing is mostly helping by the side. The reason is that although Qu Qing can cook, his cooking level... Although it is not very bad, but with Hua Zizhou In comparison, it is far worse, and he also hates cooking. Instead, it looks like Hua Zizhou is enjoying it. Over time, the cooking at home will let Hua Zizhou take care of it, and he does not even wash the dishes. Let Qu Qing touch it.

Qu Qing had no choice but to contract the heavy work of the family. The two lived in harmony and never had a single quarrel, which made Jiang Orion, a loner, envious.

At the dinner table today, after eating, Hua Zizhou cleaned up, and Qu Qing pulled Jiang Zhu and the cat and asked seriously, "Did anyone bully you in the school this month?"

When Jiang Orion heard this, he quickly stared at his son.

Jiang Zhu was stunned, shook his head and said, "No."

"Where's the cat?"

Kitten also shook his head dumbly: "No one has bullied me."

Qu Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it seemed that things didn't go in the worst direction: "It doesn't matter if you scold you in front of you, is there anything, such as the cat's bad words."

The two little ones still shook their heads. Jiang Zhu thought about it, and said, "None of them, but everyone seems not willing to make friends with us, but it's enough for me to play with the cat, and I will protect the cat."

Qu Qing rubbed Jiang Zhu's head with relief: "You boy, it's ok, I didn't raise you for nothing, it's my uncle, please, the cat is relatively small, you protect him well, and won't treat you badly."

Jiang Zhu pursed his lips, looked at Qu Qing with small eyes and said proudly: "It's up to you to say, my brother, I'm covered, whoever dares to bully him, I'll fight with whomever."

"People are big, little devils." Qu Qing pinched his face, and Jiang Orion looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, the coachman who asked someone to call came, and Jiang Orion was going to hunt, but Jiang Zhu was not brought, so he went to the town to play with him.

Because Qu Qing never said anything, Hua Zizhou was very puzzled, what was Qu Qing doing back in town.

The two children also asked, what is today a good day to remember, and why are they going to town.

Qu Qingshen said to them mysteriously, "I'm going to do an important thing."

When he arrived at the destination, Hua Zizhou still didn't understand, and even hesitantly pulled Qu Qing's sleeve: "The stuff in here looks so expensive, so let's not go in."

Qu Qing shook his head and smiled, dragged someone into the Rouge Shop, which was an ancient cosmetics shop.

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing dumbfoundedly beside him while saying something to the shopkeeper that he did not understand, while picking and choosing. Trying on his face, this behavior really confuses Hua Zizhou.

When finally choosing to pay, Hua Zizhou was so frightened that he almost couldn't control himself and dragged Qu Qing out on the spot.

"What did you buy these things for?" He frowned and pulled Qu Qing's arm, wondering if Qu Qing was possessed by something. Is he going to start losing money again?

Qu Qing took the time to reply to him: "I didn't buy it all for you. By the way, Madam Boss, I can borrow you to use it, and I'll put makeup on him."

He spent so much money in one go, and of course the proprietress took them to the backyard happily: "You husband and wife are really in love, it's rare to see a man willing to spend so much money for his brother, this brother, do you want Cherish it."

Hua Zizhou smiled blushingly at the proprietress, and after the proprietress left, he pulled Qu Qing again, almost begging, "Go back, I don't want any of these things, it's too expensive."

Qu Qing pressed him directly on the stool: "Don't move." Then he washed his face seriously with a handkerchief and some newly bought soap.

The two children felt bored after watching it for a while, and went to play in the yard beside them.

After that, Hua Zizhou foolishly watched Qu Qing pick up the eyebrow trimmer and trimmed his eyebrows first, only to pick up the things he just bought and smear them on his face. Whenever he wanted to refuse, he could see Qu Qing's serious face was unable to open her mouth.

Moreover, Qu Qing was so close to him that he could feel the breath of the other party hitting his face, which made people feel indescribable.

After playing with Qu Qing for a long time, when he took a few steps back and looked at his face carefully, Hua Zizhou was finally able to speak, and immediately continued to complain to Qu Qing: "It's really too expensive, we are living, and you will be told by others. I won't be home, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qu Qing took a mirror from the side and erected it in front of him. Hua Zizhou saw the person in the mirror, and for a moment he forgot what he was about to say, looked at it for a while, and then said stupidly: " so beautiful......"

Then the second sentence he said was even more silly: "Who is he?"

Qu Qing flicked his forehead lightly: "Guess what?"

Really stupid, Qu Qing dared to guarantee that he had never seen such a stupid person since he was a child.

Chapter 44:

Hua Zizhou was stunned for a long time before he raised his head in disbelief and asked, "Is the person in the mirror... me?"

Qu Qing looked at his small expression, raised his eyebrows, and said in a cheerful and light voice, "Who else could it be if you weren't?"

At this time, Jiang Zhu and Mao'er, who were watching the little goldfish by the pool, noticed the change here, and the two of them ran over, curiously arguing, to see what Hana Zizhou looked like after putting on makeup.

Hua Zizhou stared blankly at Qu Qing and moved the mirror away, and then the two youngsters saw his changed face, and immediately dropped the small toy in their hands, and stayed on the spot with their mouths open.

Jiang Zhu glanced at it, and his face turned red after a while. He pointed at Hua Zizhou, looked at Qu Qing, and stammered: "He...he...is really Uncle Zizhou, right?"

The cat was a little unhappy, and frowned and looked at Hua Zizhou for a long time. After Hua Zizhou opened his mouth, he was sure that the person in front of him was really his father, and then he was relieved, but the little mouth pouted a little unhappily. : "Daddy still looks good as before."

Qu Qing snorted deliberately and said to the kitten: "You little boy, you don't even know how to appreciate your father's superb skills. Your father is a rare beauty now. If you don't believe me, go out and ask others later, Even in this street, it is estimated that there is no second one more beautiful than him."

The four-year-old cat still doesn't accept it. His aesthetics have not been shaped like the common adults in the world, so for him, Hua Zizhou's appearance is his aesthetics. He couldn't see the change, but today there was an earth-shaking change, and of course he wasn't happy.

Qu Qing showed to Jiang Zhu quite proudly: "Yes, he is your uncle Zizhou, or we Jiang Zhu have aesthetics."

His narcissistic appearance made Jiang Zhu somewhat dislike him.

After Qu Qing finished speaking, he begged Hua Zizhou to stand up and looked at the person up and down, and found that the clothes and shoes didn't match this makeup look, so he put away everything and brought Hua Zizhou to buy it again.

Only then did Hua Zizhou finally believe that the stunningly beautiful person in the mirror just now was really him. Although he knew that he was in reality right now, he still had a dream-like sense of unreality. Qu Qing took a few steps and stopped, and looked at Qu Qing with expectant eyes: "Mirror, I want to take another look in the mirror..."

Qu Qing smiled with satisfaction, and went over to bring him the mirror again. Hua Zizhou sat back again, staring at himself in the mirror, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Qu Qing sat and looked at him, the corners of his mouth curved in satisfaction, while watching his results with his chin on the side, seeing that the reddish lipstick on his lips was not evenly applied, he naturally stretched out his hand and gently Raising his chin, the index finger of the other hand wiped the flawed spot, and Hua Zizhou finally looked away from his face in the mirror and turned to look at Qu Qing.

Qu Qing's focused eyes and gentle movements made him feel like a treasure that was wiped away from dust.

His cheeks started to get hot again.

"How can you do this..." It's really incredible that a big man can smear these things.

If he hadn't been watching Qu Qing's actions just now, he would have almost thought that Qu Qing was changing his face.

When asked about the past, Qu Qing pursed his lips and tugged at the corners of his mouth. He was not in high spirits, and lowered his chin: "Before, my mother, she always complained that she was not good-looking enough, and she didn't know how to use cosmetics after buying them, so I will learn. After that, I will help her to melt it. Your face is not completely healed, so there are still some flaws. When it is completely healed, it will look better than it is now."

In fact, Hua Zizhou's facial features are very delicate, and the skin is white. Once the base makeup is applied, the effect is already good. If you apply a little light eye makeup and blush, you don't need to do anything else. It's very light and light. One of the makeup, but the effect is much better than what he has tried on himself and others before.

After the makeup, Hua Zizhou looked a little delicate. Qu Qing thought, if he was given gold-rimmed glasses and the current short hair, it would look good, but unfortunately there were no glasses in ancient times.

But Qu Qing is very satisfied with what he has seen now. He has seen other brothers in town dressed up, either disheveled or flamboyant and too girly, while Hua Zizhou is just in a manly temperament and a girly temperament. Between his temperament, he is soft and firm, which is unexpectedly in line with his aesthetics and intentions.

Even if he has many shortcomings, but if you think about it carefully, maybe even if you return to the modern age, it will be difficult to meet a boy like Hua Zizhou.

Seeing that Hua Zizhou still wanted to sit here holding the mirror and continue to look at it, Qu Qing counted that the time was almost up, so he forcibly took the mirror: "No, it belongs to someone else, let's buy a mirror and hang it at home. Come on, I'll let you watch it when the time comes, and I'll buy other things later. We're going to leave, otherwise we won't have enough time to go home, and we'll be hungry. Listen, both children have their stomachs. It's thundering."

Only then did Hua Zizhou reluctantly look back at the mirror, and was pulled out by Qu Qing reluctantly.

When walking out of the rouge shop, everyone who saw Hua Zizhou's makeup after makeup, without exception, their eyes lit up, and the proprietress did not hesitate to praise: "It's really good-looking, good-looking, I didn't expect my brother's husband not only to choose , I can use it better, I opened my eyes today."

Qu Qing said repeatedly: "I've won the prize."

Thanks to the proprietress, and went out to walk on the street, Hua Zizhou was surprised to find that many people who passed by him couldn't help but look back at him, and even some girls looked at him with big eyes in surprise and pulled him. The little girl next to him said, "Look at how beautiful he is."

Qu Qing is very satisfied with the results obtained today. He hopes that it is best to use this to get rid of Hua Zizhou's inferiority complex. It may be difficult to completely get rid of the psychological problems caused by his childhood environment, but at least he can't let him say that he is ugly in the future. .

One of the purposes of coming here today is to build up Hua Zizhou's first confidence in facing everyone. In the past, everyone said he was ugly, but after a long time, he really felt that he was ugly and useless. Everyone can say that he is beautiful. After a long time, he will naturally feel that he is beautiful.

Hua Zizhou followed Qu Qing all the way. When Qu Qing saw Hua Zizhou's eyes, he couldn't help lingering on some beautiful headwear, and then he took him directly to a jewelry store. It's all too colorful and rustic, Qu Qing picked it up with some disgust, Hua Zizhou couldn't help pulling his arm again: "Don't buy it, I already bought too many things today."

When Hua Zizhou persuaded Qu Qing, he also felt very novel. In the past, he always begged his mother to buy him something. Usually, no matter how much he asked, it was useless. , it is still useless to ask, but the feelings of the two are very different.

Qu Qing handed him the thing he was carrying, and then chose a light blue hairpin that looked the simplest: "This thing is not expensive, and I don't often have this opportunity. After buying it this time, I want to We have to wait until the next opportunity, maybe it will be New Year's Eve."

Hua Zizhou was shocked: "What? Do you still buy it during the Chinese New Year?"

Seeing that he was going to persuade himself not to buy it again, Qu Qing immediately stretched out his hand and squeezed his mouth, pinching him into a flat duck's mouth, and the two laughing next to him laughed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qu Qing quickly picked out a few things, and after seeing Hua Zizhou honestly stopped talking, he let go of him and took the things to pay the bill.

Hua Zizhou hurriedly asked Jiang Zhu next to him if the makeup on his mouth was gone.

Qu Qing walked out of the shop door. Seeing someone looking worried, he put on the new hairpin and small bracelet he bought, and then gave another slightly larger bracelet to Jiang Zhu. Hua Zizhou put on the blue hairpin that he had chosen at the beginning.

Qu Qing looked at these people, big and small, and nodded with satisfaction. He wanted to reach out and rub his head, but when he saw the release he had just made for him, he reached out and patted his head instead. With a full smile, he said:

"Don't worry, I know that I won't buy myself bankrupt. Besides, aren't you celebrating your birthday today? These are gifts for you. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."

Hanako looked at Qu Qing in surprise: "How do you know that today is my birthday?"

Qu Qing replied: "When you first met me, you said that you will be eighteen years old in more than a month. As for the specific time, the cat I asked, I didn't expect this little guy to remember it clearly. Eighteen is a sign of adulthood, which means you're already an adult."

Hua Zizhou whispered: "Isn't it sixteen years old, my sister already had a child when she was sixteen."

Qu Qing said domineeringly: "I'm the head of the family, and I'll do what I say."

Hua Zizhou was speechless.

That afternoon, Qu Qing took Hua Zizhou to the cloth shop again. He bought enough cloth for one person to make two clothes. He also bought cutting scissors and a large mirror. Then he stopped and was ready to go home. .

Hua Zizhou found that no matter how expensive he bought, Qu Qing did not change his face throughout the whole process, as if he was used to the world, which made Hua Zizhou more sure that his family must have been rich in the past.

Qu Qing also found that every time Hua Zizhou was buying things and spending money, he would show a painful expression like cutting flesh, as if he stopped but dared not speak.

Originally, he planned to bring Hua Zizhou and the two children to the next restaurant, but this time not only Hua Zizhou disagreed, but even the two children next to him frowned and said it was too wasteful and extravagant. Now that he is running his own house, Qu Qing thinks that he has spent a lot of money today. He just wants to make them happy when he goes out to eat. Since this will make them uneasy, then forget it.

Besides, this restaurant seemed to be very expensive. He couldn't figure out how much it would cost to go in. After thinking about it, there would be opportunities in the future.

Looking for a roadside stall casually, eating a bowl of noodles with minced meat, looking at their satisfied expressions, Qu Qing almost doubted whether he was eating some unparalleled delicacies.

What a bunch of well-fed children.

He pressed his chin and watched Hua Zizhou carefully eating the noodles, for fear that his makeup would be smudged, so he was interesting no matter what.

Qu Qing didn't realize that when he looked at Hua Zizhou, his eyes were filled with gentle starlight.

Chapter 45:

Hua Zizhou saw that he was looking at him from the corner of his eye, and he was eating more carefully, and his ears were turning red without noticing.

On the way back, Qu Qing bought some snacks. There were too many things in it, and it was too crowded. Qu Qing took the initiative to come out and sit outside with the driver. Inside, the two young men chatted and laughed about the newly bought cloth. What would the new clothes look like, they all asked Hua Zizhou how to do it well.

Hua Zizhou clasped the large and small gifts that Qu Qing gave him in his hands, and answered the questions of the two children absentmindedly, without taking his eyes off Qu Qing's back.

The compliments and gifts he got today were things he never dared to think about before. He couldn't help but feel happy, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and uncomfortable. Qu Qing was so kind to him, it was like a perfect Lover, but there is only one thing, he does not want to touch himself.

At the beginning, Qu Qing said to himself that he would never have a deep relationship with anyone in his life, so he began to look around and ask his mother in a veiled manner. Even if he wanted to hide it, his savage-eyed mother still knew it. The person he wanted to ask was Qu Qing.

So from that day on, he and his mother decided that Qu Qing was probably not good in that aspect. For men, this kind of thing has always been a domestic scandal that is never allowed to be said, so he tacitly accepted it.

But until that morning, he pretended to be afraid and woke up with Qu Qing in his arms. After encountering something unexpected, he realized with surprise that it was not that Qu Qing could not, but he just didn't want to touch him. Even after that, he began to doubt that Qu Qing. For what reason, I would rather eat and drink to support myself, but I don't want to touch myself at all.

Later, those rumors began to spread in the school. It was precisely because those people scolded him that he couldn't refute them, so he was so sad to let others bully him and seek abuse in disguise, otherwise a few children were nothing in his eyes. Well, he has never been afraid of a big man much taller than him, not to mention a little kid who hasn't finished changing his teeth.

He only felt that he must be too bad, so even such a kind and kind Qu Qing, who provided him with free food and drink, was reluctant to touch him.

Today, Qu Qing spent so much money for himself, made himself so beautiful, and still remembers his birthday. Does this mean that he values ​​himself more than before, and even treats himself as a wife?

Maybe today's gift is a signal. When he finished giving his gift, he also said that he was an adult at the age of eighteen. Maybe in his eyes, he was still young before, but today is different.

Today, not only passers-by, but even Qu Qing has praised him several times for being beautiful. Does that prove that he likes himself?

The wheels of the wagon roared along the mountain road, and when passing people, there would occasionally be dogs barking.

Here, Hua Zizhou was thinking wildly and thinking, while Qu Qing was thinking about how to deal with the children in the school.

Children sometimes have a natural viciousness in their bodies, and they don't understand what they say or what they do to hurt others, but if they say that what they do is too much, it's not too bad. Although they talk about cats in private It's not good, but it hasn't been done for the sake of doing it. He must stop this matter in time, otherwise who knows what will happen in the future.

He didn't hope that if something unfortunate happened in the village in the future, the cat would be regarded as the target of public criticism and asked to be set on fire by everyone. It must be done, and it must start with people's perceptions.

Qu Qing thought about many ways in his heart, all he thought was waiting for the weekend to pass, but he didn't expect that after he took the car home, he saw twenty or thirty students standing outside his gate, and when he saw him getting off the bus , they ran over, and when they approached him, they stopped and bowed their heads in shame, as if they had something to say.

Qu Qing ignored them, turned around and hugged Maoer and Jiang Zhu, then stretched out his hand to help Hua Zizhou get out of the car.

Hua Zizhou was a little flattered. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the scene in front of him. Qu Qing's students were all looking at him, even Zhao Xuan'er. He swallowed his refusal.

Qu Qing did not change his face, turned around and took out the things he bought today with the coachman Hua Yam, firmly refused the children's help, and asked Hua Zizhou to open the door, and they brought everything back in one trip.

remember

The rejected students were very at a loss, and a few looked at Hua Zizhou's face in surprise, reached out and poked the little friend next to him: "Mother is so beautiful, did you see it just now?"

"How is it possible, he's not ugly..." Before he could finish speaking, the child seemed to realize something, and immediately closed his hands and covered his mouth, looked at the door of Qu Qing's house, but didn't see it The figure of the gentleman was relieved, and he said to the other friends next to him: "I was careless, and I will definitely change it in the future."

"Who's going to take the lead? It seems that Mr. is really angry and ignores us."

"Do you think Mr. will not be willing to teach us again?"

"Zhao Xuan'er, Mr. Qu likes you the most, why don't you go first, call Mr. out, and we will apologize together."

Zhao Xuan'er, who was stopped by them, bit her lower lip reluctantly and clenched her fists tightly. In her mind, she kept replaying the appearance of Qu Qing helping Hua Zizhou to get out of the car. She was so jealous in her heart, but she was most jealous. Yes, it was Hua Zizhou's face that had become beautiful for some reason when he got off the bus.

Originally, she was full of confidence that she would be able to win Qu Qing's heart by virtue of her beauty, but after seeing the atmosphere of Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou getting along just now, she lost most of her confidence.

She also tries every means to pester Qu Qing on weekdays. Qu Qing is also gentle and patient with her, and even praises herself when she is doing well. She gets the most praise in the class, so she always feels that she is in Qu Qing. Blue eyes are special.

But now, she suddenly realized that Qu Qing treats herself and other classmates no different. When other classmates are doing well, he will also praise them. When other classmates are injured, he will also Will be distressed to take to see the doctor, he is gentle and patient with all the other students, only one person is different in front of him - Hua Zizhou.

In the past, many details that he misunderstood that Qu Qing did not like Hua Zizhou were taken out by her, and compared to what she had just thought of, it was completely different from before.

"Zhao Xuan'er, why are you crying? If you don't want to go, don't go. I'll help you."

Zhao Xuan'er wiped away tears, only to realize that she was crying, and she shouted loudly, "I don't want you to go, I want to go by myself."

Then everyone watched her rush in and walked to Qu Qing to apologize loudly: "Mr. Qu, I apologize on behalf of all those who have said bad things about Hua Zizhou, I'm sorry."

Qu Qing deliberately said with a cold face: "What's the use of apologizing to me, it's not me who is being scolded by you, besides, he and I are of the same age, how can you call him by his name?"

When Zhao Xuan'er heard it, she burst into tears, turned around and ran in front of Hua Zizhou, crying and calling her teacher sorry.

She cried so sadly, this mother-in-law shouted, which meant that her battle was a complete defeat. After all, she once said that she would drive this person to be a child and make her a big one, but she has not married yet. But being forced to call Shimama, it's really embarrassing.

If she wasn't worried that Qu Qing was really angry and would no longer be a teacher, she would never compromise on this.

When the boys outside heard the only girl in the class crying so sadly, they all ran in and apologized to Qu Qing, who repeated what she had just said to Zhao Xuaner.

As a result, a lot of people ran to Hua Zizhou to say sorry, know they were wrong and ask for forgiveness and so on.

The half-year-old child who just said that he wanted to say that Hua Zizhou was clearly ugly, after seeing what Hua Zizhou looked like now, he stayed where he was in surprise and forgot to say anything.

Hua Zizhou listened to them calling out to his wife, and felt very happy. He forgave everyone very generously. He imitated Qu Qing's gentle smile: "It's alright, I didn't take it to heart, everyone should stop doing this in the future. ."

Seeing that Zhao Xuan'er was still crying, he walked over, patted Zhao Xuan'er on the shoulder, and comforted: "It's alright, don't cry, my wife forgives you."

The boys next to her also followed to comfort Zhao Xuaner not to cry.

Zhao Xuan'er heard that Hua Zizhou deliberately strengthened the word "mistress", with a tone that could not conceal the show of the winner, and cried even louder with anger, turned around and ran home.

Everyone remembers that she was so moved that she was forgiven. No one found out that there was no war between her and Hana Zizhou.

Qu Qing finally solved the problem in his heart. He was very happy that night. He made hot pot. After eating, he packed up the things himself, so that Hua Zizhou would not touch it. Then he lit the kerosene lamp, took out the cakes he bought during the day, and put them away. on the table.

Let him go through the birthday process, which is nothing more than making a wish, singing, and blowing out candles. If there are no candles, use kerosene lamps instead.

Several people thought it was very novel, in fact, Qu Qing also thought it was very novel, although in this dark environment, this birthday was a little rough, but from everyone's face, you can see how happy they are. .

That's enough.

The eighteenth birthday, for Qu Qing, was the beginning of a painful turning point in his life. It was his regret that he couldn't have a good birthday that year. Now that he can see Hua Zizhou's happy birthday, the memories of the past are in his heart. Unfortunately, it has also been slightly compensated.

After singing the birthday song, after Hua Zizhou made a wish and blew the lamp, Qu Qing lit the lamp again and solemnly said his wishes to him.

Hua Zizhou will never forget what he said to himself that night. After listening to Qu Qing's words, no one else's words can move him.

Qu Qing told him.

I hope that after the age of eighteen, all misfortunes will be far away from you, and all good things will accompany you. You can sleep peacefully every night. When you wake up every morning, looking at the bright sun, you will sigh 'I am really a Happy people', although sometimes things may make you unhappy, but they will not affect your happy life.

Finally, he said to himself: Hua Zizhou, you have to be good all the time.

No one had ever said such a thing to him.

Hua Zizhou cried, Qu Qing hugged him at a loss, and he cried out of breath in Qu Qing's arms.

He is not a person who loves to cry, because he knows that he is different from others. If he cries, no one will feel sorry for him, but will cause people to laugh at him, so he does not like to cry, hates to cry, and does not cry. .

But when he was with Qu Qing, he became different. He became very easy to cry, but the reason for crying was not as he imagined before, so as to win the pity and sympathy of others. He cried because...

Finally, someone in the world loves him and takes pity on him.

 Chapter 46:

When Hua Zizhou finally calmed down, Qu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how he was crying just now, he really had nothing to do.

It was already dark, Jiang Zhu wanted to go home and sleep by himself, but Qu Qing refused without thinking: "You are a child, it's not safe at home, so I'll sleep here tonight."

In fact, there was no problem at first, but the problem is that today the cat doesn't know why he is arguing that he wants to sleep alone.

Hua Zizhou froze in his heart, for fear that his plans for tonight were about to fail.

Jiang Zhu also didn't want to sleep alone with the cat. He insisted that he was different from a man. Seeing his stubborn appearance, Qu Qing asked Hua Zizhou in a low voice, "Are you still afraid now?"

Hua Zizhou clearly knew what he was asking himself, but he finally won the same bed, so how could he give an unfavorable answer to himself.

So he grabbed Qu Qing's hand: "I'm not afraid with you by my side. If you weren't there, I wouldn't even dare to close my eyes..." The implication is that I can't, I have to sleep with you.

After thinking about it, Qu Qing temporarily made a floor for Jiang Zhu in the next room with the wooden boards left over from the previous furniture, and then went to Jiang Zhu's house to hold two quilts, and then arranged for the two children to sleep.

Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou only had the opportunity to wash their face and feet. Seeing Hua Zizhou's reluctance to wash her face, Qu Qing wiped her face with a rag and said, "Wash it clean, otherwise it's not good for your skin. If you like makeup, I will often transform it for you in the future, there is nothing to give up."

Only then did Hua Zizhou ruthlessly wash his face, but after climbing into the bed, he was still a little unfulfilled, lying beside Qu Qing, and said in a low voice, "These cosmetics cost so much money, and all the makeup that I wiped on my face today is all over the place. It must be a lot of money."

"Don't think about these, I'm going to sleep soon." Qu Qing, who was sleeping inside, pinched his nose, then propped himself up, and leaned over Hua Zizhou with half of his body in the air, blowing lightly on the oil lamp , the whole room immediately fell into darkness, and Qu Qing also returned to the bed and lay down again.

In the darkness, Hua Zizhou rested his arm on his side and stared at Qu Qing intently.

On this bed today, it's just him and himself. Thinking of this, he was very excited.

Suddenly, with his eyes closed, Qu Qing felt that Hua Zizhou reached out and touched his face, he reached out and grabbed someone's hand that was making trouble: "Don't make trouble, go to sleep, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow. "

Hua Zizhou nervously retracted his hand, and obediently said "um", saying that he promised not to make trouble again.

Because next time he's coming.

When Qu Qing heard Hua Zizhou's obedient response, he relaxed, retracted his hand, and drowsily carried food in his mind again. Hua Zizhou next to him moved, but he didn't care, thinking that he probably wanted to wake up at night.

Just when he thought so, Qu Qing's lips were suddenly blocked by something, he opened his eyes in shock, and saw Hua Zizhou with one hand on his side, leaning over him, the other hand and The tips of his outstretched fingers were crossed, tightly clasped together, and the breath was inextricably intertwined.

He was actually kissing himself! ?

Because he was too shocked, Qu Qing opened his mouth subconsciously, and as a result, his mouth was taken advantage of.

When the tip of the two tongues touched each other inadvertently, a shuddering feeling spread all over the body.

"Hmm!" After regaining his senses, he pushed Hua Zizhou vigorously, sat up and panted, wiping his mouth, frowning forcefully, and asked in an extremely displeased voice, "What are you doing? ?"

Empress Hua Zizhou seemed to still be in disbelief. He climbed back to Qu Qing's side again, grabbed Qu Qing's hand and put it on himself, and said in a pitiful voice, "Hold me, okay?"

Qu Qing paused, then immediately withdrew his hand, raised his voice and asked, "Hua Zizhou, what have you been thinking about all day?"

Hua Zizhou replied stubbornly: "We are husband and wife, what's wrong with this."

"Don't talk, have you forgotten what you promised me before?" Qu Qing was very angry, unprecedentedly angry. Hua Zizhou had promised him, but he broke his promise so easily, just like a liar.

He lifted the quilt, went to the kettle and poured a large cup of cold white water into his stomach, but his anger still couldn't dissipate, Hua Zizhou pulled his sleeve: "Don't be angry, okay? Qu Qing."

"Let go, stand there, recite the Three Character Classics you have learned so far, and then think carefully about where you went wrong, and don't allow yourself to sleep tonight."

"what?"

Although Hua Zizhou didn't understand his thinking, he still did it honestly.

Qu Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her reacting body, and asked Hua Zizhou to stand a little bit further away in annoyance.

He knew in his heart that it was not Hua Zizhou that bothered him, but himself. He was not a sage, and how could he not react to a person who he already had a good impression on him, but he knew that it was impossible.

Hua Zizhou was carrying the book in a low voice and stumbling, but Qu Qing was distracted and didn't hear anything.

After Hua Zizhou finally finished the memorization, seeing that Qu Qing did not respond, and there was no light, he whispered to the bedside and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Qu Qing still didn't respond, so he thought that Qu Qing was really asleep, so he groped to the side of the bed, just about to feel where Qu Qing was sleeping, but Qu Qing grabbed his hand: "What do you want to do?"

He shuddered nervously and stammered back: "No... No, I just want to see if you are asleep."

In the dark and silent room, Hua Zizhou felt that he could clearly hear Qu Qing's breathing, which seemed to be a little heavier than usual.

Qu Qing was silent for a while, then let go of his wrist.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Zizhou made a careful move: "It's a little cold down there, can I go back to bed?"

Qu Qing didn't speak, but moved to the other end of the bed. Seeing that he acquiesced, Hua Zizhou immediately climbed onto the bed and wanted to go to Qu Qing's side.

"Ok?"

Hua Zizhou immediately stopped, crawled back to the opposite side honestly, and tugged at the quilt crampedly. In the darkness, he vaguely saw that Qu Qing was still sitting, as if waiting to judge him, so he felt inexplicably panicked.

He was very worried, because of his unrestrained behavior just now, Qu Qing would mistake him for a decent brother.

"Tell me, what went wrong tonight?"

It sounded like he was still a little angry, and Hua Zizhou felt even more guilty. He squeezed the quilt tightly, but he still mustered up his courage and said stubbornly: "I... I'm right, we got married, and the government also gave us proof that the marriage was consummated. Shouldn't it be the right thing to do? You said before... that you wouldn't let me like you, I agreed. Later, you said that due to some special reasons, we can't have a marriage in our life. At first I thought it was you... you... can't, But that morning, and now, I clearly felt that you were okay, so why can't we get married?"

Qu Qing felt a bit of a headache. Hua Zizhou was good at being obedient, but sometimes he was too hard-headed: "A round house, a round house, are these things really that important to you?"

Hua Zizhou looked up at him in the dark and said, "Of course it's important. In this world, where can there be a reason for getting married and having no physical problems, but not having a happy marriage?"

Qu Qing knew that his request was very strange, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, it is estimated that no one would agree.

He wanted to bring this matter to light, but he also thought that it was not a solution to drag it on. He would have to leave one day. It would hurt him if he was with him now because he couldn't bear it for a while and a small joy. .

Hearing that Qu Qing didn't speak, Hua Zizhou lifted the quilt, climbed up to sit in front of him, stared at Qu Qing and asked, "Tell me, what is the reason for not consummating the house, do you despise me? I ... I'm already working hard to get better, I've worked hard to learn to write and read, and I'm also drinking terrible medicine every day to look good, and you praised me for being good-looking today, so what's wrong with me?"

Qu Qing shook his head gently: "No, you are fine, it's my problem."

"Tell me." Hana Zizhou pleadingly grabbed his arm.

Qu Qing reached out and touched Hua Zizhou's head: "I will leave here one day, this is something I have no choice, and I can't take you away, so even if I am really with you now, it is for you. irresponsible."

Hua Zizhou didn't understand why Qu Qing would leave one day, but he believed that Qu Qing should not lie to him.

He was silent for a while and asked, "So, do you want me to marry another man after you leave?"

When it came to remarrying, Qu Qing clenched his fists for a moment, and his heart tightened. He was glad that the other party couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark.

"That's the best way for you, too."

"Then..." Hua Zizhou lightly grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest, "Anyway, I'm yours now, whether we get married or not will have no effect on my remarriage in the future, so why don't we round house."

Qu Qing didn't expect him to be so open-minded. After listening to his words, he felt that his previous entanglement was like an idiot.

"People always face parting, just like Dad went to the battlefield and never came back, there is no way, although I don't want you to leave, but even if there is such a day, it will be in the future, I just want to live the moment, live today, tomorrow, the day after, I want to be with you, even if it's only for one day, I'm willing."

Qu Qing hugged him tightly.

He felt that his throat was also a little tight, and his voice was a bit dry.

Hua Zizhou heard Qu Qing scolding in his ear, "Are you stupid?"

Hua Zizhou hugged him back: "If you like stupid, then I'd rather be stupid."

"If I turn around and leave one day, leaving you and the cat, and maybe a child, what will you do?"

"If you want me to remarry, then I will remarry. If you like me to stay with me, I will watch it with my children, but I believe that there will never be a better person in the world than you are to me. For me, I only want you, not other men."

After saying this, he straightened up slightly, held Qu Qing's neck carefully and tentatively, and finally leaned on his shoulder, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace of mind. Said, "I am yours."

Qu Qingde admitted that when he heard the words Hua Zizhou said softly in his ear, his adrenaline surged uncontrollably.

Damn, almost out of control.

Chapter 47:

Hua Zizhou felt that after he finished saying that, Qu Qing's hand tightened around him. He felt Qu Qing's hot body temperature being transmitted to him through two layers of clothing, and at the same time, he seemed to be caught by the other party's. The breath is tightly wrapped in it.

He felt that Qu Qing's heart should be loose, so he took the initiative to raise his chin, approached Qu Qing with a pounding heartbeat, slowly closed his eyes, and was about to kiss again, his lips soon felt a warm touch, just in When he thought he had succeeded, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Qu Qing covering his mouth.

"No!" Qu Qing still gave his own answer.

"Why? Didn't you explain everything just now? Why can't you." Hua Zizhou looked at him aggrieved and puzzled.

"If I say no, it won't work, Hua Zizhou, let me ask you, where did you learn these messy things? And where did your relatives learn to use your mouth? Who told you to learn these things, I usually don't know what I teach you, You gave me some things, didn't you take me as a gentleman in your eyes?"

In fact, Qu Qing has already been shaken, but at this time, his mood is uneasy, his mood is also chaotic, and he is not calm enough. He doesn't want to make such an important decision at this time, so he plans to let this matter go. He needs to be more cautious. consider.

Qu Qing's intentional topic was very successful. As soon as he mentioned this, Hua Zizhou let go of Qu Qing with a guilty conscience, lowered his head, and tugged at his fingers nervously: "This... those... no, no one..."

Qu Qing's business increased by three points: "Okay, Hua Zizhou, you have grown up and learned to lie to me?"

Hua Zizhou hurriedly waved his hands and explained nervously like a primary school student: "No, no, I'm just afraid that you will be unhappy, and I don't want to lie to you. These... I learned from my mother before, she said. If I do this, my husband will like me..."

Qu Qing said: "Don't ask your mother about these things in the future, you know it, you are an adult, don't think about what you like or not like all day long, and you can't eat it if you like it, as long as you listen to me obediently, you will never I've missed you."

Hua Zizhou nodded quickly: "Don't worry, after I told my mother about the last time, my mother thought you couldn't do it, so she shouldn't tell me that again."

"What?" Qu Qing's forehead trembled faintly. He didn't expect Hua Zizhou to talk about such things. He suddenly understood why when he met his mother-in-law on the road before, why her eyes were a little strange Strangely, it turned out that the problem was with Hana Zizhou.

For a while he didn't know what to say.

Hua Zizhou realized what he had said just now, and immediately stretched out his hands to cover his mouth tightly, shaking his head frantically.

"Forget it, you can stop talking to others in the future, your mother... you shouldn't talk nonsense everywhere." Qu Qing sighed, thinking that in this situation, misunderstanding is misunderstood, Mrs. Hua Zizhou. It's about worrying about himself and his son's room.

"Aren't you angry? Do you want me to explain to my mother? Or tell a lie, it was just because I was not feeling well."

Qu Qing lightly flicked his forehead: "Don't explain, this kind of thing is not clear to explain, the more you explain, the more chaotic it will be. I'm going to misunderstand it for now, go to sleep."

Hua Zizhou touched the place where he was bounced by Qu Qing. Seeing that Qu Qing was about to lie down, he immediately moved from the quilt to the side. Just as he was about to lie down beside Qu Qing, Qu Qing asked him to sleep on the other side. .

Of course Hua Zizhou didn't want to, so he sat on the bed silently, expressing his silent resistance.

In fact, as long as Qu Qing scolded him again, he would definitely go back to sleep honestly, but Qu Qing didn't.

After a while, Hua Zizhou sighed in the darkness, lifted the quilt beside him, patted the vacant spot, and a helpless and doting voice came: "Come here."

Hua Zizhou's frustrated face changed into a bright smile. Like an excited little monkey, he immediately rushed to Qu Qing to lie down. Qu Qing pulled the quilt to cover him, and the movement naturally made Qu Qing feel in his heart. were surprised for a while.

After a while, listening to Qu Qing's regular breathing, Hua Ji Zizhou turned to face him, quietly put his hands out of the quilt, and seeing that Qu Qing was not awakened by himself, he secretly approached him. Reaching out, the target is Qu Qing's hair.

Qu Qing always likes to rub his head. Just now, he suddenly had a curiosity, what kind of touch will Qu Qing's hair feel?

He happily touched Qu Qing's hair with his fingertips, the corners of his mouth lifted up uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. Just when he was having a good time, Qu Qing suddenly grabbed him hand, Hana Zizhou was startled.

In fact, Qu Qing couldn't sleep at all. He had already felt Hua Zizhou's small movements. He thought that he was just touching his hair, but it stopped after a while. It was like a tickling on the top, and it didn't stop for a long time, and Qu Qing was annoyed:

"Hua Zizhou! If there is more trouble, continue to go to the wall to punish the station."

This is very similar to what he said in the school when he was in class.

Hua Zizhou felt that Qu Qing was holding his hand so hot that he was frightened. He was so frightened that he immediately pulled back his hand, honestly admitted his mistake, and said subconsciously, "I was wrong, sir."

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Qu Qing asked him.

"I'm so happy, I can't sleep, sir, when will we get married?"

Qu Qing squeezed his face hard, and said with disgust, "Why don't you leave the consummate room in three words?"

"Because I want to consummate the house. Only when the house is consummated can we and I be considered husband and wife. If the house is not consummated, even if we live together and have the government's certificate, all relatives admit it, but it still doesn't count, so tell me, okay? "While speaking, he reached out from the quilt and grabbed the hem of Qu Qing's clothes, inadvertently acting coquettishly at the person.

Qu Qing had nothing to do with him at once, so he could only say: "Not now."

"Is that alright tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow either."

Hua Zizhou was a little anxious: "When can I do? You said that you will leave in the future. I want to spend more time with you and become your person completely!"

In the dark, Qu Qing felt that Hua Zizhou was snuggling by his side, the sweet smell that belonged to him drifted into his nostrils, and he almost controlled his brain to say the word "good".

He once regretted his decision to let Hana Zizhou sleep beside him when he was soft-hearted, but he couldn't help telling him to sleep back there.

He clearly felt that his current heart had become softer and softer when facing Hua Zizhou. Not long ago, he was able to force Hua Zizhou to swear not to like him, but now he can no longer deal with him. He said something cruel.

"no."

Hua Zizhou has become more and more dazzling. He is no longer the ugly duckling with low self-esteem and poor self-esteem. He is diligent, smart, and capable. Even in learning to read, he is clumsy and endearing, but he is willing to learn. , After a while, it will become the unique swan in this country, and I don't know how many people will like him.

"Why?" Hua Zizhou felt extremely aggrieved, obviously there were no more difficulties, why was he unwilling to agree.

Qu Qing felt that his voice was a little hoarse and wrong, and reached out to touch the wet tears on his face, and his heart suddenly gave in, gently wiped his grievances, and sighed helplessly: "Why are you like this today? I love to cry... I'm afraid of you, well, it's not impossible, but there is one condition."

"What conditions!"

"In two months, I will hold a final exam. If you can get the first place in the class, I will grant you a wish."

He thought about him, wanted him, thought about him physically, and thought about it in his heart, only that layer of reason was still stubbornly resisting his desire. But he didn't want to rely on a spur of the moment to make a decision. In two months, maybe in two months, he will know what to do.

"Two months is too long..."

"Don't want to?" Qu Qing raised his eyebrows.

"I am willing!" Hua Zizhou was afraid that he would take his words back, so he immediately agreed to his request, thinking that this would be better than Qu Qing's refusal to agree to him all the time.

After chatting for a long time, the two finally settled the matter.

remember

Hua Zizhou got the answer he wanted in his heart, and after that, he finally obediently stopped making trouble and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Hua Zizhou was the first to wake up. When he woke up, he saw that Qu Qing was still sleeping, and there was an indescribable joy in his heart.

Qu Qing has always been the first person to wake up. Every time he wakes up, he just gets up and never gives himself a chance to stay in bed. Every time he wakes up not long after Qu Qing, he also gets up quickly. .

So after all, this was the first time he could see Qu Qing's sleeping face in the morning.

He looked at Qu Qing's good-looking profile for a while, and sighed in his heart how could there be such a good-looking person in this world. After a while, he stretched out his hand and vaguely traced the outline of Qu Qing in the air above Qu Qing.

His skin didn't seem to be as white and tender as when he first saw it, it was a little more wheatish, a little rougher, and it looked inexplicably more flavorful.

Looking at Qu Qing with his chin on the bed, Hua Zizhou felt a burst of joy in his heart. If Qu Qing's family didn't have a family, then maybe he would never have the chance to meet him in his life.

So, you are lucky.

He remembered the various actions he had done with Qu Qing last night, and his face became a little hot. He thought that he was probably dizzy last night to make such outrageous actions. Fortunately, Qu Qing was not bored by it. took him.

Qu Qing was really too tolerant of him, how could there be such a good person in the world.

Qu Qing slowly opened his eyes, just happened to meet Hua Zizhou's dazed line of sight, blinked, reached out and rubbed a handful of Hua Zizhou's soft hair, there was obvious joy in his voice, accompanied by the lack of sleep. Waking up misty and hoarse: "Morning."

A new day has begun, and Hua Zizhou responded with a smile and a smile: "Morning."

Seeing that Hua Zizhou wanted to get up, Qu Qing stretched out his hand and pulled him back to bed without thinking about it: "Today is the weekend, and I have nothing to do, so let's stay in bed for a while."

"Ah?" Qu Qing actually wanted to stay in bed. When he heard it for the first time, he was very surprised. He felt a little loose, but turned to say: "Mother told a good wife and a good mother the most important things to pay attention to. One of them is that you must never sleep in late, your daughter-in-law will be looked down upon by others. If you sleep a little longer, I'll get up. When Jiang Zhu and the cat wake up, I'll prepare breakfast for you first... ah —!"

Qu Qing got up quickly, raised the quilt to cover Hua Zizhou, pressed the person and lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, although he was drowsy, but he did not forget to criticize Hua Zizhou: "It's long-winded, your mother never taught me anything. Do you want to listen to your husband? You don't have a mother-in-law, and I'm the biggest in this family, so listen to me."

When Hua Zizhou thought about it, it was really true that other daughters-in-law had to be careful when they entered the house and waited on their mother-in-law in the morning and evening. Many people complained about how difficult it was to serve her mother-in-law. When I got people, all this was gone, but I was very relaxed.

He looked at Qu Qing's sleeping face, and his eyes were reluctant to blink. Qu Qing seemed to sense his sight, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the shining eyes of Hua Zizhou, which inexplicably disturbed people's heartstrings.

He stretched out his broad palm and covered Hua Zizhou's eyes. As a result, Hua Zizhou's eyes blinked, and the eyelashes brushed the palm of his hand.

It was time to let go, but Qu Qing felt a little reluctant for some reason.

The original sleepiness disappeared because of this little episode.

He looked at Hua Zizhou, who obediently allowed himself to cover his eyes, his mouth opened slightly, indicating his ignorant state, and his full red lips looked like he was asking for a kiss.

When he came back to his senses, Qu Qing found that he had already kissed him.

Chapter 48:

Realizing what he had done, Qu Qing immediately left Hua Zizhou's lips, and moved away the hand covering Hua Zizhou's eyes like an electric shock. Hua Zizhou, who was in a daze, turned over and got out of bed without saying a word, turned his back to Hua Zizhou, dressed hastily, and ran out.

Kitten and Jiang Zhu were also up, and they were fighting inside. When they saw Qu Qing coming out, they ran towards him happily.

"father--!"

"Uncle Qu!"

Kitten came over and hugged his thigh all of a sudden, looked up at him and said, "Dad, the school is still on holiday today, are we going to play in the town today?"

Qu Qing patted his head and said, "I've been to the town yesterday, so I won't go there today. I'll take you there next time when there's a market in the town and when the crowd is most crowded, okay? Let's play today. Someone who has never played before, will I take you to fish in the river? Make grilled fish for you to eat at night."

Jiang Zhu and Mao'er immediately shouted excitedly: "Okay—!"

Seeing that Daddy came out next to him, the cat immediately ran over to hug him. Hua Zizhou quickly glanced at Qu Qing and picked up the cat in a slightly unnatural manner.

"Daddy, just now Daddy said that he would take us to fish in the river today, and we would eat grilled fish at night!"

"Really, that's great." He smiled gently at the cat, then raised his head to look at Qu Qing, but at this time Qu Qing just happened to be looking at him, and their eyes met. There is an unexplainable tacit understanding.

Qu Qing felt a little embarrassed in her heart and wanted to escape. She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Zhu next to him, looking at Mao'er and Hua Zizhou with a bit of envy, and then went up and carried the person into the creek's nest: "Let's go, come with me. Pinch some cabbage and green onions, and come back for breakfast."

Before taking two steps, Jiang Zhu broke away from Qu Qing's creaking nest with both hands and feet, and snorted coldly, "I don't want to hug him, I'm an adult, you can go by yourself."

Qu Qing couldn't help but laugh, followed behind him, and the two went to their vegetable garden one after the other.

This is a vegetable field developed in front of the yard. After more than a month of meticulous care, it is already green, arranged in an orderly manner, and growing vigorously, which looks very gratifying.

Qu Qing skillfully pinched a few pages of vegetable leaves, then plucked the weeds and threw them aside. Jiang Zhu also did the same. Compared with Qu Qing, except for his slower movements, the others have done well. .

After a while, his legs were a little numb, and Qu Qing stood up and moved a bit. Looking at Jiang Zhu's serious appearance, thinking of the envious look in his eyes just now, he asked, "Jiang Zhu, did you miss your mother just now?"

Jiang Zhu lowered his head and didn't speak, the weeding movement slowed down, and after a while he resumed his previous speed: "I'm fine by myself..."

"Idiot, it's not a shame to miss my mother. I miss my mother too. I don't know how she is doing in another world now and whether she is well taken care of."

Jiang Zhu raised his head and looked at him. It was the first time he heard such an old man say that he missed his mother. In his opinion, it was a very novel thing.

It was then that he remembered that after coming to Qu Qing's house to live here for so long, he never saw Qu Qing's mother or his father. It was a little strange, so he asked, "Is your mother dead too?"

The child was innocent, and Qu Qing did not care, but explained patiently in his own words: "She is not dead, she is alive and well, she is just in another world, I will be able to see him after a long time. already."

From what Jiang Zhu heard, this meant death. He asked, "Is there really another world, after a person dies."

Qu Qing knew that what he said to him was not the same, but it did not affect the communication between the two of them: "Yes, I believe that there will be another world after death, and after death, people who leave will be there. meet there."

He thought that he had even encountered such a thing as transmigrating to another world, so it is not surprising that there will be another world after death.

Hearing him say this, Jiang Zhu suddenly became happy: "It's great, I miss my mother too, although I haven't seen her before, but I heard from my father that she is a gentle and virtuous woman. When I looked at Uncle Zizhou, I thought, if my mother is here, she must be a good person like him."

Jiang Zhu chatted and became more and more excited. When he followed Qu Qing back, he suddenly pulled Qu Qing excitedly and said, "I heard from my classmates that there is another grandmother in the village who likes to tell ghost stories. You said just now. , ghosts are people from another world. I want to know the stories of people from another world. Do they live in the same environment as us? I want to know too much, can I go to listen to the stories from Granny Hua at night? "

"Okay." Qu Qing agreed immediately, thinking in his heart that it was just an ordinary ghost story, definitely not as good as a modern horror movie, there must be nothing to be afraid of.

After the two returned, Hua Zizhou put the kneaded noodles into the pot, and Qu Qing felt a little embarrassed, so he handed the vegetables in his hands to Jiang Zhu and asked him to take them to Hua Zizhou.

While eating noodles, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but they didn't look at each other during the whole process.

The cat has never been to catch fish before, and when he heard that he would go there later, he was so excited that when he was eating noodles, the bench under his **** seemed to have a nail. Ask east to ask west.

Qu Qing's ears hurt from the noise, so he raised his chin towards Jiang Zhu and said, "Learn from your brother Jiang Zhu, look how calm he is."

Just after he finished speaking, Jiang Zhu raised the big bowl, drank the noodle soup in one breath, put the bowl and chopsticks away, and looked at Qu Qing with bright eyes: "I'm done eating, when are we going?"

Hua Zizhou couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Qu Qing quietly, and the cat looked at him proudly: "Look, how is my brother Jiang Zhu calmer than me?"

Qu Qing rubbed his forehead: "Okay, okay, let's go after I finish eating first."

Under the "all eyes", Qu Qing had to speed up the speed of eating noodles. Hua Zizhou washed the dishes in three or two strokes. Qu Qing carried the wooden bucket for water at home and took a sickle, followed by a large two Xiao, and two puppies, Da Huang and Er Hei, who have grown up a lot now, leisurely walked along the mountain path to the river.

Occasionally, on the way, you will encounter warm greetings from the villagers.

"Why are you here, Mr. Qu, this is with a family of young and old."

"Going to catch fish by the river."

When Qu Qing greeted people, he would say hello. Everyone liked him very much. One of the students' parents even taught the secrets in a friendly way. Where there are many fish, they are fat and easy to catch. By the way, they also talked about Tips for catching fish.

After thanking him, he walked for about ten minutes before reaching the river. Qu Qing squatted down and touched the water in the river. It felt a little cold. He wanted to ask the two children to pay attention, but when he turned his head, he saw two people. People don't know when they are in the river, and there are two people's shoes on the bank.

Hua Zizhou picked up the two children's shoes to the edge of Qu Qing's bucket. Seeing that Qu Qing was sitting on the grass on the shore with slippers, he also sat beside Qu Qing and saw that the shoes that Qu Qing had mended before were broken again. Now, he said, "How about I make you a pair of shoes?"

Qu Qing glanced at him in surprise: "You still do this?"

"Of course I will." When talking about what she is good at, Hua Zizhou is a little more confident and careful to show off, "I used to be responsible for the shoes at home, and when there is nothing in winter, I will I would sit around the stove with my sisters and my mother, talking and making shoes, and I was the best at it."

"Zizhou, you are amazing." Qu Qing turned his head to praise him, then looked back at the two puppies that were close to him, and grabbed them in front of him and rubbed them twice.

Hua Zizhou felt that his face was too hot all of a sudden, so he shyly turned his face away, pointed the back of his head to Qu Qing, raised the back of his hand to cool his cheeks, and started stammering when he was nervous: "No... it's not that bad either, That...this morning..."

Before he could finish speaking, the children in the river waved and yelled at them excitedly.

"Uncle Qu - come on! There are fish here!"

"Daddy Daddy! There are really fish, oops, run away!"

Qu Qing took off his shoes and socks, put them aside, and ran towards them: "Come here, where did the fish go? Look at me and catch them!"

"Hey..." Hua Zizhou raised his hand and whispered to call Qu Qing back. He hadn't finished his words yet. In fact, he just wanted to ask, did you kiss me this morning?

and.

After kissing, why are you avoiding me?

"Zizhou - there are really a lot of fish here, don't be in a daze, come quickly!" Qu Qing has never played in the river like this before, and he has nothing to suppress, and his heart has returned to the nature of a big boy who loves to play. Looking at the pebbles in the river, watching the small tadpoles and fish swimming in the river, I was excited for a while.

"Okay, I'll be right here!" Hua Zizhou didn't bother with the question just now, Qu Qing called him, he responded happily and loudly, took off his shoes neatly, stepped on the grass and went into the river.

The cat is small, and the water flow is still a little rush in some places. After playing for a while, Qu Qing carried him to the shore and asked him to dig a puddle by the river to catch the little tadpoles to play with.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and several people had a great time playing in the clear river water, but not a single fish was caught.

Qu Qing had caught fish several times, but the fish slipped and slipped away, and he couldn't catch it at all, and even using a sharp harpoon with a sickle, he couldn't hit the fish.

Looking at the sun, Qu Qing thought that he had spent so much effort today, no matter what, he had to taste the taste of fish, otherwise it would be too inferior.

When I was thinking about the strategy of catching fish, a few children came running not far away, and before they could see their faces clearly, they called out to Mr.

It turned out to be a few of his students, who were running and playing in the mountains and fields. When they saw that it was Mr. by the river, they came. After saying hello to Qu Qing, they called Mrs. Hua Zizhou in a proper manner. Flattered: "Hello."

Then they approached excitedly and asked Qu Qing what he was doing. After knowing that he was here to catch fish, a bunch of children were excited to join in, and they all said that they wanted to help Mr. catch fish.

Of course, Qu Qing was also happy that he had a bunch of free assistants, thinking that these children who had been in the mountains for a long time might be more powerful than him.

It turned out to be true, and soon two of them caught two fish and put them in Qu Qing's wooden barrel.

"How did you do it?" Qu Qing looked at the fish in the bucket in shock, "Teach me."

A few children smiled and said: "Mr. is going to learn to fish with us, so are we also Mister?"

His words made Qu Qing's mind flash something, but it was too fast. He didn't grasp the idea for a while, so he had to reply: "That's natural, Confucius once said that if you are three people, there must be my teacher. , you taught me to catch fish, then you will be my fish teacher."

When the children heard it, they were all vying to be their husband's teachers. Qu Qing did not panic, and let them teach him one by one. He also said that whoever successfully taught him to catch a fish today would be his husband today.

A bunch of wild boys didn't see them being so active when they were studying, but now they are too active. Hua Zizhou couldn't play a lot with them, and they didn't have a common topic. How much the children in the village hated him and the cat in the past, he hadn't forgotten that when he saw Qu Qing getting close to them, he went to the side by himself to concentrate on it. Catch fish.

And Qu Qing, under the guidance of a lot of experienced "little" gentlemen, Qu Qing finally caught the first fish in his life. At the first moment, he subconsciously looked around for a certain figure, and when he found the man in a blue shirt with his trouser legs rolled up, standing in the river far away from the crowd and staring at a certain place in the river, he excitedly raised the fish shaker. Shaking, calling the man.

"Hey! Zizhou, look, I caught a fish!"

The children next to him, who were much better than him, applauded the venue one after another, imitating the way he praised them in class on weekdays: "The teacher is amazing!"

For Hua Zizhou, Qu Qing suddenly made a loud noise, scaring away the fish he had been staring at for a long time, but he was not at all angry. When he looked up at Qu Qing, the wonder and admiration in his eyes satisfied Qu Qing. With a sense of vanity, he grabbed his fish proudly, and walked cautiously into the bucket containing the fish, as if what he touched was not an ordinary fish, but a very precious crown.

"How did you catch this?" Hua Zizhou stepped on the cool water, walked to Qu Qing's side, squatted and looked at the fish that Qu Qing caught in the bucket, which was bigger than the fish caught by others, and asked enviously.

Qu Qing said: "I have learned all the skills of catching fish, and I will give you everything I know later!"

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a shallow smile, "Okay."

Qu Qing also looked at Hua Zizhou, slowly raised his slender hand, and slowly stretched towards the other side, a few drops of water slowly fell from his thumb and fell into the bucket, as if he could hear a few ticks, Hua Zizhou's Eyelashes fluttered slightly.

With a thumping heartbeat, he jumped on the bank of the river.

What does he want to do?

Just when Hua Zizhou was expecting something to happen, the son of a **** Erhuang ran over and gnawed Ken Quqing's toe with his milk teeth. Qu Qing suddenly withdrew his hand, grabbed Erhuang's neck and threw it aside, and stepped on it again. Entering the river: "Hey, I forgot, I haven't had time to thank the little gentlemen, you taught me to catch fish, I have to thank you."

Hua Zizhou reached out and fished out Erhuang, rubbed its dog's head, and saw Qu Qing in the river saluting the group of children seriously, he lowered his head after reading it, and tugged at the dog's two fleshy ears Said: "Er Huang, what did he mean just now?"

Erhuang tilted his head crookedly, and responded in a milky voice: "Wang~"

 Chapter 49:

This noon, due to the unprecedented determination of the students to catch fish, and the large number of people, Qu Qing finally got a whole wooden barrel of fish. After catching so many fish, everyone was still not satisfied. If they can't hold it, they can definitely catch more.

But the only regret is that when Hua Zizhou was about to leave, he didn't catch a single fish. Jiang Zhu, who was obviously so much younger than him, finally caught a small fish, which made him feel very depressed.

The hottest time at noon has passed, and the sun gradually began to turn westward. Qu Qing also felt hungry. After resting under the shade of the tree for a while, he was ready to go home and chat with the children. They proposed to divide the fish, and the children ran away, thinking that someone was going to rob them of their money.

Qu Qing shook his head. He heard that some time ago, many students and elders have educated their own children, and the husband let them study for free, so we must respect the gentleman and learn to be grateful.

Seeing that their shadows were gone, Qu Qing had no choice but to come back and carry back a bucket of fish that was enough to eat for a long time with Hua Zizhou.

Only four were slaughtered, three were three and one was small, and the rest were raised in a large tank.

When I said that I wanted to grill the fish, I didn't delay. I used a kitchen knife to remove the fish scales, removed the internal organs, prepared the bamboo charcoal, and used the pillars to get on it and started grilling the fish in the yard.

Everyone was hungry too. After a while, the tempting smell of fish and meat wafted out. Jiang Zhu and Mao'er sat on a small stool and kept asking, "Is it cooked, can I eat now? I'm so hungry!" things like that.

After Hua Zizhou came back, he was busy feeding the chickens and geese at home. He cleaned the inside and outside, and was busy. Qu Qing guessed that he didn't catch a single fish, so he felt a little guilty. Also busy, Qu Qing had to use the tone of command to ask him to come and sit down and rest for a while.

Hua Zizhou took the tools to make new clothes and sat beside him, and began to sew and mend himself. Qu Qing watched and gave him some opinions from time to time, and he listened to them obediently. It is very virtuous to do it for Qu Qing and ask if it is so.

Qu Qing felt that he did these things more seriously than studying and writing.

The fish was finally cooked, and Jiang Zhu's cat's saliva was about to flow into a river. Even Hua Zizhou swallowed several times while looking at the grilled fish.

Under everyone's attention, Qu Qing tore off a small piece of fish meat with all the color and aroma, and then said what everyone had been waiting for for a long time: "Okay, let's eat, one for each person, everyone is careful to scald it and return it. There are fish bones, don't accidentally eat the fish bones, it will be bad if they get stuck in the throat."

Saying that, he first gave the smallest fish without peppers to the cat, and then gave Jiang Zhu the other one, and then gestured with his eyes to Hua Zizhou to put down the things in his hand quickly, Hua Zizhou took it a little embarrassedly: "Today ...I didn't catch any fish."

Qu Qing felt that if he didn't say anything, he probably wouldn't even touch this fish today.

"Although you didn't catch a single fish, you helped me bring the fish back. When I got home, I was busy feeding the chickens and ducks, and cleaning the house. If you say so, then I didn't feed the chickens and ducks. Is that right? Can't you eat it while it's being slaughtered?"

"Of course not," Hua Zizhou replied without thinking, "How can you say that, you are the head of the family, these are all yours, but we don't..."

"So this is what you deserve. Hurry up and eat it." Qu Qing quickly interrupted him, pushed the fish to his mouth, then picked up his own and ate it fragrantly.

"It's delicious!" Maoer and Jiang Zhu praised while eating, and even expressed with great interest that they would like to catch fish tomorrow.

"No way," Qu Qing took the fishbone in his mouth and taught the two children who wanted to skip class seriously: "You can't skip class, if you want to catch fish, you can take you there next vacation, but tomorrow, we will I have to go to school to study."

"I don't want to study?" Jiang Zhu said suddenly while eating the fish.

"Why don't you want to study?" Jiang Zhu didn't feel any surprise and asked him like a chat.

"I looked at my classmates, and many of them said that studying was useless, and then went home. I wanted to come back too, and I wanted to come back and learn to hunt with my father." Although the child said it innocently, But it's all true. After all, not many children really want to learn complex arithmetic and tongue-in-cheek poetry.

During this period, quite a few children did not want to read after two days of reading, and the rural people did not feel how important reading was, so after hearing that the children did not want to read, they came to bring the children back. More than a dozen people left at once.

This is their own will, and Qu Qing is not good at forcing others, but he insists that Maoer and Jiang Zhu must read. He was brought up like this since he was a child, so in his bones, he has "helping children to study is better than reading". God" concept.

"Study may really be of no use to you now." He said following Jiang Zhu.

"That's right." Jiang Zhu's eyes lit up, she was very surprised and happy that her words like this could be recognized, and she couldn't help thinking, since her husband agreed, will her better days be coming in the future!

Qu Qing raised his eyebrows, and then broke the little boy's delusion with a sentence: "But if you say you don't study anymore, I think your father may want to find a stick to beat you when he comes back."

The expression on Jiang Zhu's face suddenly drew down. It really hurts when his dad gets angry and beats people up. Moreover, his father repeatedly told him to study hard and never give up lightly. When his father was hunting in the mountains and enduring hardships, he would have hope. He thought, if he said to his father that he did not want to study, Daddy must be very angry.

The cat next to him and Hana Zizhou both laughed.

The cat licked the corner of his mouth and said to Jiang Zhu, "Reading and studying are very interesting, why doesn't brother Jiang Zhu like it?"

Jiang Zhu pouted unhappily and ate the fish angrily. Qu Qing looked at him tired of studying, thinking that he would talk to him later.

After eating the fish happily, Qu Qing cleaned up the fire. Seeing that it was still early, he prepared lessons first, and prepared the teaching content of the Chinese class, dictation class and mathematics class for tomorrow. Now he teaches the content of primary school , is easy for them.

In one month, I only finished teaching the Three Character Classic and half of the basic addition and subtraction of Arabic numerals and multiplication formulas.

The foundation of the students is too poor, and the age and learning level are also very different, so the actual teaching is not easy. For the overall consideration, the teaching process has to be slowed down.

The afternoon class was originally about physical education, and then gradually added music lessons, story lessons, and originally wanted to add art lessons, but he could not draw, so he had to give up. In fact, he felt that this class was very relaxing and interesting, but He vaguely felt that there was still room for improvement, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he called Jiang Zhu over to ask him what he thought.

Jiang Zhu answered honestly: "It's not that my husband is bad, it's actually pretty good, but now I just want to learn from my father how to support the family. It's dangerous and hard for my father to hunt alone. I want to learn it early and help me. Daddy goes hunting."

"Do you want to learn the skill of hunting?" Qu Qing felt that the thought was getting clearer and clearer from him, and he was about to jump out of it almost immediately.

"Yeah!" Jiang Zhu jumped up and stretched out his hand to make a bow-drawing gesture, "I want to learn how to draw a bow, catch a tiger, and track the wild, so that I can make a lot of money like my father. money."

Qu Qing has already caught his own idea, but it is not mature enough, so he said, "Jiang Zhu, let me ask you a question, do you think it is good to be a gentleman?"

"Of course it's fine," Jiang Zhu said without hesitation, "Daddy said, there is no need for wind and rain, and you can get money every month if you talk about it. There is no better job than this."

"Then if you are allowed to be a teacher in the school after you finish your studies, would you like it?"

Jiang Zhu said, "How long does it take to study?"

Qu Qing touched his chin and said, "If you're serious, it will be enough for ten years."

"My God, it's taking so long, I'll forget it, I definitely can't, I'd rather learn to hunt."

Qu Qing said: "But even if you learn to hunt, it will take at least a few years, and you have to wait until you are fully grown up to really start a school. It's almost the same as reading. Reading is easier than hunting, isn't it?"

Jiang Zhu felt that what he said was very reasonable, and was stumped all of a sudden, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said to Qu Qing, "But I just like hunting."

"Like it?" Qu Qing read these two words and suddenly realized something.

The students he taught here didn't need to take the imperial examinations, at most they just came in to learn how to read. This kind of indiscriminate learning, although it took into account everyone, was not necessarily the best.

Like modern education, in his view, the purpose of the final exam is to allow learners to choose what they are interested, useful, like and willing to study in depth for further research.

There is not more than ten years of effort for these children to learn so many complex foundations. It is better to let these students learn and research what they are interested in, encourage invention and create their own exquisite skills, just like Jiang Zhu likes hunting, Why not try a course in hunting and archery.

From this inference, if there are people who like woodworking, there will be a carpenter master to come to the class. If you like craftsmanship, you should ask people who know craftsmanship to teach, but the only problem here is, how to invite these people with craftsmanship to come to the class, After all, most of the craftsmanship of this era is not rumored.

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that people need to teach core skills, but it's not enough to teach some superficial skills, so people who are really interested can take this opportunity to study in depth? As long as there is interest, there will always be a way.

"Uncle Qu Qing, what are you thinking?" Jiang Zhu looked at Qu Qing for a long time, then reached out and shook his hand.

Qu Qing returned to her senses, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold his shoulder: "Jiang Zhu, do you really want to learn to hunt?"

"Ah? Uh... If my dad wants me to learn, I definitely want to learn."

Qu Qing nodded, turned around and left, making Jiang Zhu feel that he was really inexplicable.

Qu Qing thought, as the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish. Reading and writing is just the beginning of learning. Using this method to guide students, even if they fail to become successful in the end, will help them broaden their horizons and learn the basic principles. It would be a huge achievement if one of his students could be successful.

It's just that before the student chooses, he has to figure out what fields to choose from, and preferably the cheapest research method.

Hua Zizhou looked at Qu Qing standing in front of the vegetable garden and seemed to be thinking about something. Originally he had something to say, his lips opened and closed, and finally he waited for Qu Qing to turn around before he said: "I want to go back to my mother's house. I said earlier that I will make you a pair of shoes, but I don't have any tools, so I want to borrow it from my mother for two days."

"Well, good." Qu Qing just immersed himself too deeply, and subconsciously agreed, and when he saw the back of Hua Zizhou's departure, he hurried over to arrest him: "Wait, I'll go with you, how can I go back to my parents' house? Empty hands, take some of the fish caught today, and today I agreed to take Jiang Zhu to listen to Granny Hua tell a story, and it happened to be on the way."

Finally, of course, brought the cat.

For Hua Zizhou, this is the first time she has returned to her parents' home after getting married.

Chapter 50:

Hua Zizhou's family has two married brothers, one older sister, two younger sisters, and a few children below. It can be said that it is a big family.

Qu Qing went to the house, reluctantly recognized the person first, sent the fish, and sat for a while. There were many people in his family, and most of the clothes he wore were patched one after another. Qu Qing also brought two children. I was sorry to stay for dinner, and waited for Hua Zizhou to borrow a tool for making shoes and left. When he was leaving, he saw that Hua Zizhou's mother seemed to have stuffed him with something mysteriously.

Following Jiang Zhu's advice, Qu Qing took the whole family to listen to ghost stories at Granny Hua's house.

Granny Hua is a childless widow. It is said that she is also a goddess in the village. She occasionally works part-time to exorcise evil spirits. Her favorite thing on weekdays is to tell ghost stories to children in the village. Anyone who goes to her house to listen to her is very welcome.

It is also said that because the ghost stories she told were too terrifying, she scared many children in the village to tears.

Qu Qing thought to himself that they were not influenced by modern horror movies, so people here can easily be frightened by some ordinary ghost stories.

He originally thought so, until he went to listen to the horror story of the flower mother in person.

This is too terrifying! !

Why in such a simple era, how could someone tell such a terrifying and emotional ghost story!

The more I listened to Qu Qing's face, the worse it became.

No, no, he didn't dare to listen any more, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Qu Qing quietly got up and said to Jiang Zhu next to him before leaving, "I'll go outside to get some air."

"Mmmmm!" Jiang Zhu didn't even glance at Qu Qing when he heard the place where he was working hard.

Qu Qing thought to himself that this kid was actually quite brave.

The cat was timid and took Hua Zizhou out very early. Qu Qing thought that he was going out to find them. When he went out, he didn't see anyone in the yard of Grandma Hua's house. He walked out strangely, wondering if they were going outside. played?

Before taking two steps, he vaguely heard the cat's voice. It seemed to be under the corner of the wall outside the yard. He walked outside and was about to call someone. After hearing what the cat said, his footsteps stopped abruptly. The words were swallowed back into his throat.

"Daddy, can I go back and sleep with Daddy tonight?"

What does this mean, didn't the cat ask for it voluntarily before?

Afterwards, Hua Zizhou hugged the cat and comforted him for a few words. He agreed to the cat's request. After coaxing him for a while, he said, "Your dads should be out soon. Let's go in and see if the story of Granny Hua is finished."

He dragged the cat from the corner to the door, and was about to walk in when he saw Qu Qing's silent face and was startled: "First, sir."

"It's alright." Qu Qing thought that the story of Granny Hua should be finished soon, and it was time to tell Jiang Zhu to go home. Before he took two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said to Hua Zizhou, "You..."

He wanted to say that you lied to me, but when he saw that Hua Zizhou was a little flustered, he felt that there was no need to continue.

He went in and patted Jiang Zhu's shoulder lightly: "Let's go home."

Jiang Zhu felt that there was something wrong with his face. Anyway, after listening to the story, he didn't object. He told Granny Hua that he would come back next time and go back with Qu Qing.

On the way home, Qu Qing silently took Jiang Zhu to the front, while Hua Zizhou took the cat to the back.

Qu Qing thought that he had been deceived, and he couldn't tell what he felt. It wasn't anger, nor the disappointment of being deceived. It was just that the feeling was definitely not happy.

The first time Hua Zizhou did something bad, he didn't expect to be exposed like this. Qu Qing's silent appearance was more tormenting than direct beatings and scolding for him.

"I'm sorry." As soon as he entered the house, he let the two children play in the room, turned his head and apologized to Qu Qing.

Qu Qing looked at his cramped movements and green face, really like a child who didn't grow up, he sighed: "You shouldn't use the cat like this, he is still young, if he wants to sleep alone, What should I do if I'm scared, this time I know I'm wrong, then forget it, don't do this in the future."

After he finished speaking, he went to get the things for the bath, ready to take a bath.

Hua Zizhou never expected to be forgiven like this, but he felt that Qu Qing's appearance was too strange, he lied, how could he forgive himself like this?

Qu Qing, who was taking a bath in the bathhouse by the creek, also suddenly woke up to something. Recently, he seems to be relying more and more on Hua Zizhou. When he sees him, he can't help but look happy and can't see him. At times, he will want to look for his figure everywhere, he can be sure that he is in love with Hua Zizhou.

But what about Hua Zizhou, does he really like him? To put it bluntly, maybe at his age, he hasn't seen anything in the world, maybe he doesn't even know what he likes, just because he has always been unsightly and has never been treated well, so he appeared and helped him. , he would rely on himself like this, and he took it for granted as a liking.

Thinking about it carefully, Hua Zizhou's premise that "Only this is the real husband and wife" is because other husband and wife will be like this, so he should be like this. But in the end, he's just a little kid who just turned eighteen.

Hua Zizhou, does he really understand what liking is? He lied and played tricks like this. Does he want to be another master of this family, or because he likes himself?

It feels really bad to be cheated.

Qu Qing didn't feel that he was blaming Hua Zizhou. After all, Hua Zizhou's purpose in doing this was just to get closer to him, but he was still unhappy, and he didn't even understand why he was unhappy.

In the evening, Qu Qing took Jiang Zhu to sleep, and Hua Zizhou naturally took the cat to sleep. Seeing Qu Qing, he didn't say a word to himself. **, but she still fell asleep.

He vaguely felt that he might have made a big mistake.

Sometimes I have to say that people's intuition is amazing, and Hua Zizhou even felt something that Qu Qing himself had not been able to discover.

Qu Qing thought about it for a long time, thinking that his mood would become so weird.

What went wrong, is it Hana Zizhou's lies and deception?

When he woke up the next morning, he still hadn't come up with an answer. Before he went to class, he saw that Hana Zizhou had clumsily put on an ugly makeup for himself, so he went over to remove his makeup and re-applied. After putting on a good-looking light makeup for him, a strange sense of satisfaction appeared in his heart, and he felt that he seemed to have some clues.

Does he like to dress up Hana Zizhou like a Barbie doll?

Qu Qing got goosebumps aroused by his own thoughts, so he quickly rubbed it off, cursed "what the hell" and set off for the school.

Still can't quite figure it out.

In his spare time, he leaned against the corner of the school, looked at the clouds and mountains in the distance, and thought from a different angle. Why did such a trivial matter change his feelings about Hua Zizhou?

He began to think about how he fell in love with Hua Zizhou.

Coming to this world, since he met Hua Zizhou, he has always listened to his own words. As long as he is present, he will almost only pretend to be himself, and will try to please himself and obey himself...

Qu Qing seems to have found that something is wrong with him. He seems to have a strong desire to control the ideal object of the other half, and the appearance of Hua Zizhou perfectly caters to this, so he will be tempted.

So thinking about it this way, what made him uncomfortable was not that he was deceived, but the feeling that Hana Zizhou lost control in a place he didn't know.

But after he realized this, he began to observe Hana Zizhou.

Since he let everyone call him "Sister," the relationship between the students in the class and him began to dissolve slowly. When he saw another teenage boy in the class approaching Hua Zizhou ingratiatingly, Qu Qing found himself. There was a very dark thought in his heart: he didn't want Hua Zizhou to study in the school.

It's just... so sick.

After the class in the morning, he walked back absentmindedly, Hua Zizhou followed him at a loss, when he tried to pull Qu Qing's sleeve, Qu Qing seemed to be startled and backed several times. step.

Such a reaction made Hua Zizhou panic even more. He wanted to say something, but when he turned around and saw the curious eyes of the two children, he bit his lower lip, then pretended that nothing had happened, and took the two children back in silence. go.

After Qu Qing came back, he had been sitting at the table in silence, recalling his previous dark thoughts, and he developed a deep self-loathing towards himself. Same after homosexuality.

Discovered a big secret about yourself that is different from the world.

Hua Zizhou made lunch, and Qu Qing hurriedly took two bites. It seemed that he had no appetite, and Hua Zizhou saw it all.

During the afternoon nap, Jiang Zhu went home and went to sleep. The cat and Hua Zizhou went to the next door. Qu Qing also wanted to calm down. He leaned on the bed and closed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly heard the footsteps of Hua Zizhou. Feet pushed away.

What does he want to do?

When Qu Qing was puzzled, Hua Zizhou closed the door again and approached him gently. He felt that Hua Zizhou was very close to him, and then he seemed to stop in front of the bed and did not do anything to himself. what.

Qu Qing waited for a while, but the other party still didn't move. He was a little confused and opened his eyes, but he just met Hua Zizhou's eyes that wanted to cry.

What is he doing crouching in front of his bed?

"You are..." He originally thought that Hua Zizhou was sitting, but after looking at it for a while, he realized that something was wrong. Hua Zizhou's posture was not like squatting, but kneeling?

"What are you doing?" Qu Qing twitched his eyelids and raised his voice a bit.

"Hu... Husband, I lied to you before and won your sympathy, but I was really wrong."

Qu Qing wanted to pull him up, but Hua Zizhou still couldn't get up, and was still admitting his mistake: "I will never do this again in the future. You can punish me however you want, but husband, don't be angry, okay?"

"Angry? I'm really not angry." Qu Qing felt a bit of a headache, he sat up cross-legged and frowned at each other.

Hua Zizhou looked up at Qu Qing stubbornly and weakly, because he knew that Qu Qing was angry.

Qu Qing exhaled a long breath, put his feet down on the bed, sat on the bed, stretched out his right hand, gently lifted Hua Zizhou's chin, and softened his voice: "You did something wrong, but you have already sincerely Apologize and repent, and I also forgive you, and the rest is not your problem."

"But..." He wanted to say what was wrong with Qu Qing today, but when he actually asked him to say it, he couldn't say anything. It seemed that his relationship today was no different from normal.

"Hua Zizhou, what I said will always be valid for you." For no reason, he suddenly said this sentence with a strange expression.

"Which sentence?"

"If you want to remarry, I will let you go and prepare a dowry for you. I am not your sweetheart."

"You're still angry, are you going to drive me away now?"

Qu Qing felt that he really didn't make sense at all, and he wasn't in a good mood at first, but now his tone was a little bad: "I said I'm not angry anymore, I told you to get up, forget it if you don't listen, kneel as you want. Kneel as long as you want."

After he got out of bed and put on his shoes, he went out first, only then did Hua Zizhou realize that he seemed to have done another thing wrong.

He was a little annoyed, a little frustrated, and a little helpless.

In the next few days, on the surface, the relationship between Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou seemed to be the same as before. Even Qu Qing himself felt that it was perfect, but only Hua Zizhou's strange intuition felt that there was something wrong with the relationship between the two. .

Even if Qu Qing didn't want to mention it, he had to hide his feelings and pin them on the exam two months later.

He vowed to get the first place in the exam, so not only did he spend a hundred times the effort to study hard in class, but when he was doing housework after class, he would silently recite the poems and formulas he had learned during the day.

This afternoon, when he went to the vegetable garden to remove insects and weeds, he suddenly felt a person walking beside him. When he looked up, it turned out that the hunter Jiang who was carrying the prey had returned, and Hua Zizhou got up and smiled at him: "Brother Jiang is back. , Jiang Zhu and Mao'er are going out to play now."

Jiang Orion was stunned for a while before he said uncertainly, "Are you... Hua Zizhou?"

"It's me, what's the matter?" The other party looked very surprised, which made him feel strange. He obviously hadn't seen him for seven or eight days, so he didn't seem to know him.

"Your face...Is it completely healed? It's so...beautiful..."

"Ah, so this is it. In fact, it's not completely healed yet. My husband put on make-up for me, so it looks like it's fine. You... seem to be carrying something heavy, do you need help?"

"No, no, I can handle all of this by myself. I'll go home first, and I'll visit you and Brother Qu Qing later." After Jiang Orion finished speaking, he sped up his steps and walked back. A bit shy, Hua Zizhou wondered, did something good happen just now?

Hua Zizhou shrugged and continued to squat down. While reciting poems in a low voice, he continued to pull weeds with his hands. Then he thought that if Jiang Orion came back today, he would have to prepare twice as much for the food. After all, Jiang Orion's appetite is not generally large.

After Qu Qing came back from school, he went to weed the fields by himself. He was preparing meals at home. After working in the kitchen for a while, he found that there seemed to be people outside. At first, he thought it was two little ones who came back. It turned out that it was people from the village, or two men who had a poor relationship with him.

Hua Zizhou remembered very clearly that these two men once said that he was the most energetic when he was ugly, so among the men in the village, he hated these two people the most.

At this time, these two people appeared at the door of his house for no reason, and he subconsciously felt that the other party must have bad intentions, so he showed a fierce expression on his face, and went out to get a broom to chase people. , actually stared at his face dumbfounded, and didn't recover until he was hit hard by Hua Zizhou, jumped up and ran to the village.

Hua Zizhou snorted coldly and scolded: "Next time you dare to come, I will break your dog's legs."

The two of them were beaten, and on the way back, not only did they not show a sad face, but they talked loudly and excitedly: "I didn't expect that flower dog turned into a great beauty, how did you do it? ."

"Yes, yes, it turns out that the children in the village are telling the truth. I didn't expect that after this person became beautiful, even if he became fierce, it would be pleasing to the eye. Alas, he hit my **** just now, it's so hot. It hurts, but... I am happy!"

"Yeah, the pain is also worth it. Today's trip is not in vain. God, if he gets married two months later, I will definitely marry him. Why did that kid Qu Qing take this advantage? Grass."

"Hmph, if I see him in a good-looking manner for another month at night, it'll be your turn..."

The two of them laughed and talked farther and farther, completely ignoring the shady eyes staring at their backs.

Qu Qing squeezed his fists, trying his best to ignore the two people he had just met who made him extremely uncomfortable. After returning home, he took a poke and went to draw a few buckets of water. Inadvertently asked Hana Zizhou next to him:

"Anyone came to the house just now?"

"No." Hua Zizhou looked at him, suddenly remembering something, "The guests didn't come, but two scoundrels came just now, and they didn't have good intentions at first sight, so I drove them away, they... Shouldn't it be the one you called?"

"No." Qu Qing looked at Hua Zizhou's face in a complicated way. During this time, taking medicine and wearing light makeup, he became more and more beautiful day by day. The degree is high. Today, there are two, and I don't know if there will be more in the future.

"Ah, yes, just now Big Brother Jiang also came back. He said that he would come over later. This time he also shot a very big prey. It was so big that it was on his shoulders. It looked like he had nothing on his back. , it's amazing, what do you think he is... eh?"

He had deliberately found a topic to talk to Qu Qing more, but Qu Qing snorted inexplicably, put down the wooden barrel heavily, turned around and went out.

Hua Zizhou looked puzzled.

what happened to him?
