Chapter Title: Chapter 14 Mr. Xu

Chapter 14 Mr. Xu

Early the next morning, after the family had breakfast, Lin Xu poured out the stale water in the water tank, brushed it clean, and carried a bucket and an axe to go up the mountain to pick up water and chop wood.

The weather was light and warm and windless, Qiu Chen cleaned up, changed the clothes of the two children and himself, and led Ah Fu out with Ah Man on his back. In her cognition, paying attention to her appearance is not only to respect others, but also to respect herself. But he didn't expect that it would cause a series of troubles because of his clothes.

With the little guide Ah Fu, Qiu Chen found a large mansion located in the west of the village, which is the landlord Liu Bingshan's house. Liu's house is different from other houses in the village, all of which are made of blue bricks, surrounded by high walls, and the gate is towering.

Qiu Chen carried Aman on his back, led Afu, and came to the door together, and an old man who watched the door knew their mother and son, and he was not embarrassed, and patiently pointed her out of the school, which was entered and exited from a small corner gate in the southwest corner of the courtyard.

After thanking the door, Qiu Chen dragged his son to the west corner gate, this door was only used as the courtyard of the school to enter and exit, at this time the two black courtyard doors were closed, and the sound of reading could be faintly heard coming from the courtyard.

"Mother, is this the uncle's school?" Ah Fu asked in a low voice, his eyes sparkling, revealing longing and adoration.

Qiu Chen smiled and touched the top of Ah Fu's head: "Yes, when Ah Fu grows up, he can also come to the academy to go to school." When the time comes, my mother will make a schoolbag for Ah Fu and buy a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone! ”

"Mother, is it really possible?" Ah Fu's eyes were shining, and his little face was red with excitement. After being praised for his literacy last night, Ah Fu's interest in learning is rising, and he is very happy to hear that he can also read like his uncle.

In the past few days, the nutrition has kept up, the child's complexion has changed, and the original yellow and thin face has become much ruddy, although it has not grown flesh, its face is much more pink and healthy than when Qiu Chen first saw it.

Qiu Chen lowered his head and touched Ah Fu's red apple face, smiled and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Ah Fu grows up, he can come to school." ”

"Oh......" Ah Fu just shouted out with a cheer, but he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his little hand, only two bright and brilliant eyes, full of joy and expectation.

"Mother, Man'er...... Go to school! The little girl on her back was dissatisfied with being ignored by her mother and brother, and hugged Qiu Chen's neck softly.

Qiu Chen smiled and patted the little girl back, "Okay, good, when the time comes, my mother will also let Aman go to school!" ”

Ah Fu stared at his mother with wide eyes, and then at his sister, wanting to say something, but finally chose to be silent. The little boy couldn't bear to beat his sister's music, although he already knew that girls couldn't go to school. By then, he must have learned a lot of words, and it's a big deal that he goes home every day to teach his sister.

After pacifying the two children, Qiu Chen put Aman on the ground, tidied up the children and his own clothes, and then stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Qiu Chen patted a few times, then led the two children to stand outside the door and wait, and after a while, he raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Hey, isn't this the daughter-in-law of Shengzi? How did you get here? A woman's hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind Qiu Chen, unguarded, startling her. The two children around him were obviously startled, and they all shrank and leaned towards their mothers.

After calming down, Qiu Chen picked up Ah Man, shook Ah Fu's hand, turned around, and saw a woman with a narrow and long face in her forties holding a basket with most wild vegetables in the basket, standing behind their mother and son with a blank face.

Qiu Chen didn't recognize it, and when she heard that the other party could call out her identity, she thought that she was also a neighbor of the village, so she smiled vaguely: "I'm here to find Mr. Xu." ”

The woman blinked, a flash of surprise flashed on her face, and then she pulled her face and said, "Mr. Xu is in class at this time, what is the matter with you, let's come back later!" ”

As soon as these words came out, I was puzzled. What is this for, listening to the tone, he can make the decision for Mr. Xu? Looking at the old coarse cloth clothes on the other party, Qiu Chen shook his head secretly, it shouldn't be Mr. Xu's wife, then Mr. Xu has at least ten taels of silver a year, and the Liu family also gives a year's rations, if it is a gentleman's wife, he shouldn't wear such an undignified ...... Looking at the dripping water under her vegetable basket and contacting a student school for a meal, Qiu Chen had already roughly guessed the identity of this woman.

"Okay, let me say, you're so sick, you just happen to be still weak, it's okay to go out less, take care of your body at home in peace, and look at the two children is serious." After that, the woman no longer paid attention to Qiu Chen's mother and son, and actually crossed the three of them with the basket, and was about to enter the door.

Oh, that sounds wrong! Why does it seem to imply that she is a widow who is not in the room and does not abide by women's morals?

Qiu Chen really didn't want to guard two grass houses and a small courtyard, and he really didn't think about keeping any festivals for Lin Sheng, but that didn't mean that she didn't have self-esteem and self-respect, and it didn't mean that she was frivolous or even lewd. She thinks to herself that she has always behaved very well! was so groundlessly insinuated and accused, Qiu Chen naturally didn't agree, and was very angry!

However, after all, the other party didn't go too far, and the two children were still around, so if they really said something bad, it would definitely hurt the two children.

Seeing that the woman was about to push the door in, Qiu Chen smiled: "If I can keep the house for food and clothing, I don't want to go out, isn't there no way." This one...... You should know. ”

After confirming that the other party was not Mr. Xu's family, it was likely that it was a woman hired to cook in the school, Qiu Chen naturally returned the words, they all came out to mix, who said who?

"Shengzi daughter-in-law, you ......" The woman's face was pulled down, and her face seemed to be elongated, but instead of scolding and accusing, she sighed, "Why are you the same as me?" You're still young, and there are some things you don't know yet...... Alas, let's grit our teeth and stay up for a few years, the child will come out when he is older. ”

These words were kind enough to comfort her! Although Qiu Chen did not approve that life was going to be 'boiled', he had to admit that this woman had no malicious intent. If you think about it again, it may just be a reminder. At this time, Qiu Chen had already changed his doubts, this woman said something when she saw her, as if she had heard something......

It's a pity that Qiu Chen didn't have a chance to ask again, and the courtyard door opened from the inside. A tall, thin, handsome man in a cyan robe stood inside the door.

"Mr. Xu!" When the woman saw this, she immediately bowed her head and greeted her.

Could it be that the collection of passing relatives is a fattening party? Even if it's a fattening party, you should give some feed properly, leave a word, step on your feet, and let me know that you have come...... l3l4
