"Why are you here? Are you on holiday today?" Mrs. Li Lin was extremely happy when she saw her son back.
"Tomorrow is a holiday, and my eldest brother from the second grade of junior high school is coming back, so I'll follow him! I heard that Aunt Chu is back?" Tie Shuan asked with a smile.
"No, I'm back, and your grandma is back too, but Miss Chu is not at home right now. She has gone out. Go in first and say hello to your grandma!" Li Lin quickly took Tie Shuan to the main room, and it happened to be
Mrs. Huangfu coaxed the two little ones to sleep.
"Oh, this is Tie Shuan? We haven't seen each other for a few days. This head has grown again, and he has become more and more promising while studying outside. You look at a talented person!" Old Mrs. Huangfu said with a smile, holding Tie Shuan's hand and sitting down, and then
Asked some questions about reading.
Tie Shuan answered one by one, and just as he was talking, he saw Mai Xiang come in.
"Brother Tieshuan, are you on holiday?" Mai Xiang greeted with a smile. It was the first time she saw Tieshuan wearing a long gown, and she was a little unaccustomed to it. Putting on this long gown, she seemed much more elegant, and her face became much paler.
…
"I have a day off tomorrow, but you're back by chance!" Tie Shuan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you young people, go ahead and play, I'll go see if the food is ready!" Old Mrs. Huangfu said knowing that the young people had nothing to say to her.
Tie Shuan saluted again, said goodbye to Mrs. Huangfu, and then left the house with Mai Xiang.
Mrs. Huangfu looked at Tieshuan's upright back and said with a smile: "This kid, Tieshuan, has become more and more calm. Don't tell me, although something happened in the last imperial examination, you will learn a lesson from it. If you can get something from it,
If you learn a lesson, then this loss will not be in vain!"
Li Lin also felt that Tie Shuan had changed over the past few days and had become calmer. At first, she was afraid that Tie Shuan had not come out of that incident and was still depressed. Later, she realized that it was not like this. After that incident
After a child, Tieshuan became much more sensible, and just like Mrs. Huangfu said, he became more and more calm!
"Yeah, I was worried at first, but now I'm completely relieved! Last time I went to the college to see him, the master said a lot of things, saying that he was more stable in his conduct, and said that he was belittling himself and so on. The master said
Wen Zou is very good, I don't understand it very well, but it always sounds like a compliment!" When Li Lin said these words, his face was full of pride.
"That's it, you are also a lucky person. When Tieshuan is admitted to the Juren Examination, you don't have to do this kind of work. Just wait and enjoy the blessings!" Mrs. Huangfu went to the kitchen while talking to Li Linshi.
After counting the number of dishes, he nodded: "Don't cook too much. This is not the past. When there is delicious food, one meal is enough for two meals. Besides, you are not an outsider, so you have enough to eat."
Got it!"
People in the kitchen responded quickly.
Tie Shuan and Mai Xiang left the house, and just as they were about to say something to Mai Xiang, they saw Mai Xiang heading straight to the kitchen, standing outside the kitchen and calling: "Sister Xu Zhi, stop working, I heard that the fruit trees behind are bearing fruit.
The fruits are so sweet, let’s go pick the fruits and eat them!”
Xu Zhi came out of the kitchen with a smile, glanced at Tie Shuan and said, "It's not like we don't have anything at home. If you want to eat it, I'll wash it for you. Why go to the woods to pick it yourself?"
"Sister Xu Zhi, you don't know this. You can pick it yourself and it's delicious. Think about it, if you eat which one you choose among the trees full of fruits, will it taste the same as eating the fruits that others serve?" Mai Xiang stepped forward.
, took off the apron on her body, "Okay, let's go quickly. Brother Tieshuan just happened to be back. Let's go for a walk and talk!"
Xu Zhi took another look and saw him smiling at her awkwardly. Her heart sank, but in the end she left with Mai Xiang.
To go from the backyard to the orchard behind, you have to pass the chicken shed. Because the weather is still hot, the smell is not good. Mai Xiang held Xu Zhi in one hand and the iron bolt in the other. The three of them ran whistling. When they arrived,
In the orchard, they were also tired. Mai Xiang and Xu Zhi leaned on the tree to rest their breath, while Tie Shuan supported his body with his hands and looked at Mai Xiang with a faint look in his eyes.
He heard that Liu Yi had left, and asked for leave to come back to see Mai Xiang. Unexpectedly, it was like this. Perhaps at this time, he suddenly understood that after experiencing so many things, the innocence and beauty of the past no longer existed, and
The next thing he has to do is probably to make a decision. If he continues like this, Xu Zhi will also be hurt.
Tie Shuan turned his eyes to Xu Zhi. Her hair was a little messy and her breath was uneven, but she was still so elegant. In the future, he might need a woman like her when he embarks on an official career!
In the evening, Chu Yiqing and Jin Yu also came back. Mrs. Huangfu couldn't help complaining: "I've been out all afternoon. You just came back and you didn't know how to rest!"
Chu Yiqing smiled, "I'm still tired looking at my own things. I used to miss home when I was outside. Now that I'm home, I naturally have to walk around. If my mood is good, my body will naturally not be tired!"
"You, you just have a lot of lies. Let me tell you, you have ten sentences waiting for me. Okay, okay, I won't care about you anymore. This meal is coming soon. Wash your hands and eat!" Old Mrs. Huangfu said with a smile.
Go to the study room and call A Bao. Now A Bao has a study room of his own, with three walls and bookcases as tall as a person. There are also two rows of bookshelves in the middle, most of which are filled with books, arranged neatly vertically.
There are still labels attached; facing the window in the front yard, there are two rows of tables and chairs, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on them. This is where A Bao usually studies.
Concubine Qing was very happy since she saw Ah Bao. She stayed with Ah Bao all afternoon and no one was allowed to interfere. When Ah Bao got up from his nap, she read with him. Seeing that Ah Bao had learned so much at such a young age, she felt really happy.
Sweeter than honey, she kept mumbling: "It would be great if this baby was Li Huang's child!"
"Auntie, are you tired after a long day? Is A Bao naughty?" Mrs. Huangfu came into the room with a smile, "The meal is almost ready, let's go out to eat. I came back as soon as I cleared up, and even made a few special remarks to express my satisfaction.
Come for dinner, you know me!"
Concubine Qing stood up and seemed a little embarrassed: "Sister, I won't go out. I was used to being alone before, and I'm not used to so many people!"
Mrs. Huangfu quickly said: "Look how stupid I am. I forgot that you don't like the excitement. Then I'll ask Li Zi to bring you the food alone!"
Concubine Qing said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, old sister! Ah Bao won't go out, let Ah Bao accompany me!"
Seeing that she really liked Ah Bao, Mrs. Huangfu felt comforted, nodded, and came out of the study.
"A Bao has been pestering Aunt Qing all afternoon? Still refuses to come out?" Chu Yiqing wiped his hands and was about to go in.
"It's his grandma who likes him. She even ate the meal with A Bao in the house and didn't come out!" Mrs. Huangfu stopped her, "It's rare that his grandma likes him!"
Chu Yiqing realized what Mrs. Huangfu meant, so he smiled and went into the house to eat.
It’s still the same people and the same dishes, although they haven’t changed much, the warmth within them has been missing for a long time.
"Doctor Xu, I heard that you are writing a medical book, how is it going?" Chu Yiqing chatted with Xu Tingxian while eating food, just like family members.
"What kind of medical book? I just wrote it down casually. This person is getting old after all. I'm afraid I'll forget it if I don't write it down!" Xu Ting waved his hand.
Chu Yiqing looked up at him, and there seemed to be some more gray hair on his head, so he asked: "Doctor Xu, are you tired from running between the academy and the hospital? How many people are there in the academy now?"
"Oh, there are quite a lot of people in the academy now, I see there are forty or fifty people!" Jin Yu rushed to say.
Xu Ting said with a smile: "Fifty-two, that's it. Some people are sending them in. I really can't teach them. Because of this, I have offended many people! They are all from the countryside. Who do you want and who don't?
Easy to talk to!”
"So many people?" Chu Yiqing was startled. In just three years, the number of people in this academy has increased several times. Those two broken houses converted from warehouses...
"Doctor Xu, tomorrow I will go to the college to have a look. If it doesn't work, I will expand the school building. This child is the heart of every family. The school building was originally rebuilt from a dilapidated warehouse in the village. Now it has not been repaired for three years. What if?
It's windy and rainy, that's terrible!" Chu Yiqing said.
"The village chief sends people to repair it every year, but those two houses are indeed old. If Miss Chu has this idea, I would like to thank Miss Chu on behalf of the children!" When Xu Ting heard this, his face suddenly became filled with gratitude. Perhaps.
He got along well with those children, and he also had feelings for that school. Although it was a bit tiring to travel between the school and the medical clinic, he was still a little reluctant to let go!
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Then I'll go and take a look tomorrow! Doctor Xu, if you have any difficulties, just tell them directly. As long as it's for the children, I'll naturally be happy to do it!"
Xu Ting nodded and talked about the candidates recommended to participate in the childbirth examination this time. He said that Zhao Yazi from Zhao Baomi's family and Huzi from Changhe's family were both good candidates, but Huzi was a bit young, only seven years old.
Just give it a try and it doesn't matter if you fail.
Away from the capital, Lucheng, and those troublesome things, in the small house in Shangjia Village, looking at his home and everything he had earned so hard, Chu Yiqing felt extremely at ease and comfortable in his heart.
Everything, every plan we make, is all for this beautiful tomorrow.
It was an extremely satisfying meal.
After dinner, Chu Yiqing was indeed tired, so he went to see A Bao in Concubine Qing's room. A Bao still wanted to play with Concubine Qing, so Chu Yiqing didn't force himself, and went back to the house alone to lie down on the familiar kang.
He actually fell asleep.
Mrs. Huangfu and Jin Yu also knew that Chu Yiqing was tired, so they didn't bother her. They chatted in the hall outside until late at night before they dispersed.
On the way back, Li Lin couldn't help complaining to Tie Shuan: "Why are you so late? I told your father to wait for me, but you insist on waiting. Why, you won't study tonight?"
When I thought that the iron bolt might be for sticking the wheat fragrance, I couldn't help but said again: "Your body has already told me that you want to keep the wheat fragrance for a few more years. I see what that means. The child Maixiang's mind has changed."
Now, don’t think too much about it, it’s important to study!”
Tie Shuan smiled and said: "Mom, where are you thinking? I already know that Mai Xiang doesn't like me, so I gave up a long time ago! I stay with you because I want to relax and study in the town all day.
I'm going crazy! It's very interesting to hear these parents' filial piety, just think of it as a change of mind! Don't worry, it was an accident last time. As long as there is no such accident this time, I will definitely pass the examination and pass the examination.
I’ll marry you a good wife!”
Seeing Tieshuan say this, Li Lin felt relieved and said: "That's how you should think about it. The fate of this person and others is numbered. I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it!"
Tie Shuan smiled slowly, said nothing, and just strode forward.
Early the next morning, Chu Yiqing packed up and left the house, and went to the village to visit the school. The children's matter was an important matter and could not be delayed.
Early in the morning in the village, eggs are still distributed at the village chief's house. Now that every household's life has improved, no one is short of these eggs. Some don't come to collect them, so there are always leftovers.
Zhang, the village chief's daughter-in-law, was counting the remaining eggs. Anyway, she wouldn't send the remaining eggs back. She would either give them to her grandchildren or eat them herself. At this time of the day, she was in the best mood.
good.
"Is the village chief uncle at home?" Chu Yiqing shouted outside.
When Mrs. Zhang heard Chu Yiqing's voice, her hand trembled, and an egg fell to the ground. At this moment, she heard the sound of Chu Yiqing entering the door. When she saw it, it was too late, so she hid the egg on the table.
Next, he quickly grabbed the broken eggs on the ground and pocketed them in his sleeves, and at the same time, he took them out twice with his feet.
"Oh, what kind of wind is this? It's blowing Miss Chu here! Come on in and sit down. I went to your house with the villagers last afternoon and I haven't met you yet!" After Zhang calmed down, she hurriedly welcomed her out with a smile.
Chu Yiqing followed her into the house, sat down, and said with a smile: "I walked around yesterday afternoon. Auntie, you know that I'm used to being busy and can't take any time off. I'm here to see the village chief uncle today."
There are some things that I need to discuss with the village chief!"
"Your uncle has gone to Dagen's house. I'll call him. You wait, it's not far, just two doors away!" Mrs. Zhang was afraid that the broken eggs in the sleeve would leak out, so she said quickly, holding the sleeve with one hand and walked out.
Door.
At the village elder's son's house, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu was looking after the children, and the village elder Fugui and his son Dagen were discussing how to make some money.
"If you want to make money, it's to follow Miss Chu. Look, I don't have to go to the workshop for two hours a day, and only half a tael of silver a month. How easy it is! Our father is the village chief, and he helped Miss Chu so much in the past.
, Dad, if you go, Miss Chu will definitely arrange a good job for you!" Mrs. Liu heard that the two people were talking about it, but they couldn't come up with any good idea, so she interrupted.
"When you go to the workshop, Miss Chu only cares about me. Because of this, the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law are quarreling. You didn't watch your mother celebrate her birthday and they didn't show up? I helped Chu before.
Girl, Miss Chu is also kind and righteous. I can be re-elected this time. Isn’t it because of the dam built by Miss Chu and the school she set up with her own money? Besides, Dabao has been pampered since he was a child. How can he get used to the hard work? Dagen is not like that.
You know how to farm!" The village chief waved his hand and banged the tobacco pole, "Now the market has opened in front of our house. Look at Wang Xi, a woman who can make money by selling bean sprouts. You can still give it to us in the town.
People have been looking at the shops for so many years, but if they don’t work, you can still do business. Now there are more rich people in these ten miles and eight villages, and things are easy to sell!”
Dagen nodded, "This is also a way! Okay, let me think about it, but this cost..."
The village chief stood up: "You can think about it later and we will study it when the time comes!"
At this moment, Mrs. Zhang came in and shouted to Mrs. Liu: "Bring a bowl quickly, the eggs are spilled!"
Madam Liu quickly raised the bowl from which her daughter drank water, and saw Madam Zhang pulling out a broken egg yolk from her sleeve, which was disgusting.
"Mom, this egg was beaten when it was hit, why did you still..." Mrs. Liu said with some disgust.
"Why are you living so rich? Why don't you give up such good eggs? Mix some water at noon, steam them in a pot, and our seedlings will have a good meal!" Mrs. Zhang said disapprovingly.
"Eat the balls, eat the balls!" Miao'er, who is now almost five years old, has a pale face and doesn't like to talk much, but loves to eat the most. She couldn't help shouting.
"Eat, eat, eat. You know how to eat. What else does such a big girl know how to do besides eating? Look at the bell in the Zhao family. It's as big as you. It can do anything. Look at you!" Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be cruel!
He nodded vigorously on Miao'er's forehead.
"What are you doing? Miao'er will grow up late. Just let him be his father and he will be fine! Why didn't you say that you couldn't give birth to a son?" Mrs. Zhang's words pierced Mrs. Liu's heart.
Ms. Liu stood aside and said nothing, just gritting her teeth and sulking.
"What are you doing here again? Why don't you divide the eggs at home!" Fugui hated seeing women quarreling, so he immediately pulled Mrs. Zhang away and asked as he walked.
"Miss Chu is here. She must have something good going on. Maybe she will buy fields and mountains again this time. I can tell you, you can't be as stupid as before. Look at all the ration fields in the village, so little money.
So he sold it; and there was no need to pay for going up the river. Now the fish in the river are worth a lot of money! The same happened to the mountainous area last time. A whole mountain and forest with just wood was worth hundreds of dollars.
Two taels of silver, you'd better sell it for 50 taels. Not to mention the sale, the money will be handed over to the village... No matter what happens this time, you can ask Miss Chu for more. Miss Chu is very wealthy now. I haven't heard of it.
Can we all meet the emperor? If someone slips a little bit from the cracks of their fingers, it will be enough for us to be rich and popular for the rest of our lives!" Mrs. Zhang murmured in a low voice while following Fugui home.
Fugui just frowned and said nothing. He entered the house, saw Chu Yiqing and then smiled and said, "Miss Chu's house is here?"
Chu Yiqing stood up with a smile: "Uncle Village Chief, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Fugui nodded and slowly sat down on a somewhat shabby Taishi chair, "It's not like that. I worry about the villagers all day long!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Uncle, the village chief, is a junior official, and he does have a lot of responsibility. In fact, when I came here this time, I also wanted to discuss with the village chief, and I wanted to renovate the school in the village. The current size of the school in the village
It’s bigger now, and there are no more people there than before. The two houses were originally renovated from the original dilapidated houses. I just went to take a look and saw something going on elsewhere in the rickety, rainy and windy place!”
When Fugui heard this, he actually had such a plan, so he said: "I originally had such a plan. Zhao Xiaomai came here some time ago and said he wanted to buy the barren mountain. I discussed it with the clan elders and saw that
In favor of Miss Chu, I asked for a certain amount, fifty taels of silver. Now the money is in the village. I am thinking about renovating the school, but the photographer does not agree. There are not only children in our village in that school.
There are people from every village in the world. These children are from related households and are not easy to get rid of. It would be unfair to use the money from selling barren hills in our village to build a school, so this matter has been delayed!"
"No! Less than half of the children studying in our village are from other villages. They will definitely not be willing to let other villages withdraw money. We only have a little money in our village. If we build a school, if anything happens..."
Mrs. Zhang also spoke first, fearing that she would give away the few coins she had just received.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's just a school. There is no need for money from the village. I have lived in the village for so many years. I have used this land, this river, and this mountain. I have also made some money. I also want to withdraw it."
What is for the people is for the people!”
When Fugui heard this, he immediately turned his eyes and glared at Mrs. Zhang. He intuitively felt that his wife had embarrassed him, but he really didn't expect that Chu Yiqing would be so generous. Building a school was not a small sum. Twenty or thirty taels were needed.
, plus the decoration, tables, chairs and benches, I am afraid I can buy a small house in the town!
"Miss Chu, do you really plan to pay for the school? This is not a small sum..." Fugui asked quickly, fearing that Chu Yiqing would change his mind.
"The village chief doesn't have to worry about money, but you also know that I'm busy and I really can't take care of it..." Before Chu Yiqing could finish his words, Fugui hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll be in charge of supervising the work, right? Don't worry, Miss Chu.
, I’m not doing this job once or twice. Don’t worry, Miss Chu. If Miss Chu has to pay for this money, how can I ask Miss Chu to contribute? As long as there is money, every household in the village will have someone.
If you don’t come out, you won’t be allowed to go to school in the future, let’s see who dares to be lazy!”
Chu Yiqing added: "But I don't want to build the school on the old site. The place is small and there is not enough space to build a school. I want to build it outside the village. The original school has been demolished. I want to renovate it for Dr. Xu to live in.
You also know that Dr. Xu’s medical clinic is now quite large, and one room can’t even accommodate it!”
Fugui nodded quickly: "That's good. This way it won't delay the children's classes. It's almost time for the birth test!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Thank you very much, village chief. I'll ask Brother Zhao to send fifty taels of silver tomorrow. If it's not enough, you can ask me for it!"
"Okay, okay, that's enough, I'll send the rest back to you!" Fugui was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
