Chapter 60: New Friends
After Cai's steamed buns were sold for two days in a row, it was the day when the county school started.
When he left, Chungui insisted on sharing one or two silver per person, and the lack of a bundle saved a lot of silver, and now that the two of them are getting bigger, they still have some silver money on hand. However, the two refused to accept it until Qi You took out the money bag, which contained a few grains of broken silver.
"These are the books that I and Zhixing have copied and saved on weekdays, so Sister Chun doesn't have to worry."
After returning to the spring, she thought about a few more words, and Qi You grabbed ahead of her again.
"In the past two days, I have told Uncle Li Zheng and the two eldest brothers of the Chen family that if there is something at home, Sister Chun can go to them."
Qi You stopped and pursed the corners of his lips with a solemn expression: "Only one." β
"Sister Chun, don't act alone, don't do everything alone."
He did more than that, in the past two days, he and Zhixing strengthened the doors and windows, tied the fence in the yard to a length of two people, and loosened the taro and sweet potatoes in several fields, weeded the weeds, and did all the work to be done in the short term.
"Grandpa Li, I have already made a trip, the farm work in the field will be done in a while, and I said okay in the morning, when Zhiyuan will come to our house to be with Zhiping, Xiaobao and Zhiyuan are a little older, and they can also control Zhiping."
chattered like this, and looked at Cai and Li Zhicun on the side with a smile.
Cai: "If others don't know about it, they may think that Qi You is the younger brother of Chungui!" β
Qi You was silent when he heard this, and only looked at Chun Gui with serious eyes.
Zhixing was talking to Zhiping on the side, and told him to be more obedient on weekdays, Zhiping was trained by his brothers and sisters for many days, and he nodded again and again at this moment.
Seeing the two of them like this, Chun Gui had no choice but to nod solemnly. The county school only has three days off in January, and it is not possible to come back for a full month, and there has been something like Liu Gui before, and it is normal for the two of them to be worried. It's just that after the New Year, after this incident again, Chun Gui felt more and more that Qi You was already a responsible adult, and he had the momentum to be in charge.
After admonishing each other like this, Li Zhicun urged.
Qi You paused, took a deep look at Chungui and got into the car.
The mountain road was bumpy, and the two of them didn't want to let the spring return, so she had to give up and only watch the donkey cart go away at the door.
It wasn't until the donkey cart reached the depths of the mountain road and several houses at the entrance of the village were gone, that Qi You turned his head and looked into the distance in silence.
Seeing this, Cai's comforted a few words: "You two don't have to worry, Chungui knows what to expect, not to mention that there are a few of us watching." β
Qi You thanked on his face, but he was a little helpless in his heart, what is the use of having others watching, after more than half a year, he has figured out the person's character, he is gentle and gentle towards them on weekdays, but he is actually tougher than anyone else, and he would rather lose a thousand to himself than to hurt the enemy eight hundred. Relying on being a few years older than them, he looks like an elder, and he is a little more impulsive in doing things.
Such a girl still has to watch it all the time.
Thinking of this, he had a faint impulse in his heart, and he unconsciously suppressed it.
After a while, he arrived in the town, Li Zhicun first put Cai's stall in the old place, and then sent Qi You and Zhixing to the gate of the county school. The two were already familiar with the road conditions, and there was a special person at the door to guide the way, and after saying goodbye to Li Zhicun, they entered the gate of the county school.
The county school in the town is located on the outskirts of the town, and it has decades of experience and has welcomed a group of students. Today, it has been rewritten and renovated, and it is much larger than before. The place where the students live has opened up another piece, although each room is a row of Chase shops, but because of the small number of students, there are only three people, Qi You and Zhixing are the first two, and they took the number plate and entered the first room.
When he entered, a handsome young man stood inside, who was hanging his head and flipping through the books, and when he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyebrows and greeted with a smile:
"It's finally time for you two."
Qi You and Zhixing glanced at each other, and then smiled faintly.
And this person seemed to be full of enthusiasm, put the book and walked to the two of them, and sat down in the back shop: "It's done, let alone live together for a year and a half, don't take that serious." β
"That's your bed, my name is Zhou Han, the word Boya, call me by name in the future or the words are arbitrary."
He reported to his home, Qi You and Zhixing should also echo, and when they were about to speak, Zhou Han raised his hand: "I know you two, my teacher has to criticize me every time I talk about you recently, but I remember you." β
"Cheng Qiyou, Liu Zhixing, the first two in the hospital test, the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Qi Lao Xiucai."
He jumped out in a row, which made Qi You think a little bit, and after thinking of something, he raised his eyebrows: "Each other." β
The one who can know Qi Lao Xiucai must be the Xiucai who came down from Kyoto in Qi Xiucai's mouth. Unexpectedly, the letter of recommendation in his arms had not been sent out yet, and the teacher had already made arrangements for them at this moment.
The two put the luggage they brought over, and Zhou Han was half-lying and talking, thinking that he was an informal character.
"The teacher specially arranged for me to live here with you, so where did you know about me, did Qi Xiucai mention me to you?"
This self-cooked appearance made Zhixing feel helpless and didn't know how to deal with it.
After Qi You put the bed in place, he turned around and took out a letter from his arms: "When I came, Teacher Qi gave us a letter and asked us to hand it over to the master in the county school. On the same day, I also talked about my friendship with my master, and you, a talented talent in Kyoto......."
Seeing that his eyes lit up, Qi You continued: "......... And instructed to deal with you well. β
Zhou Han clapped his hands: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, they're all classmates, and they should take care of each other." β
He was tired of the tense atmosphere of Kyoto, although the style of the family was rigorous, but it was not to the point of being strict, he was still a talent, and he could relax for a year and a half, and he came here with him after the teacher retired. It was just casual, and it just so happened that the two people in front of him really met his appetite.
"The first time we met, I didn't have much preparation, but I happened to have a few fans brought from Kyoto, so I will give them to the two of you!" As he spoke, he got up and took two brocade boxes from the desk beside him.
As soon as he said the fan, Qi You raised his head, and there were some faint thoughts in his heart.
Zhou Han handed over two brocade boxes, and said happily: "This fan rose in Kyoto last year, the style is fresh, not to mention, the inscription poem and the painting on the fan surface also complement each other, I came out this time with two sets, I heard that there is a new style, but unfortunately I have come here." β
He acted generously, and sent out the two favorite styles, Qi You took it after thanking him, put the letter in his hand on the table, and looked at the brocade box with Zhixing.
Zhou Han sighed: "Even the teacher praised the poems above, saying that although they are a little green, they are ingenious. I heard that it is also a student who wants to take the imperial examination, and I would like to make friends very much if I can. β
"Qi You, have you seen this face? Recently, I went to your town to hang out, but there is the same style, but I heard from the teacher that you two don't often go to the street on weekdays, if you have the same fan, I will change with you two. β
Qi You's eyebrows jumped, and the plum blossoms carved outside the brocade box were lifelike, this form was ....... It's really unfortunate that he watched Chungui's pen fall from beginning to end that day, and there was a complete set of samples sent by Guo Ruyi at home.
He pursed his lips, looked at each other with Zhixing, who had reacted, and looked at Zhou Han, who was still chasing the person who designed this fan and wrote those poems, and couldn't bear to interrupt.
Zhixing was straightforward, and just as he wanted to speak, Qi You shook his head slightly.
Although Qi Xiucai mentioned that they were friendly with each other, when they first met, they might not be able to please each other when they first met. Now that he and Zhixing are outside, they should be cautious. Let's look at it for a few more days, if Zhou Han is really the same person on the outside, it will not be too late to be honest with each other.
And the illustrated book on the page he has on hand, it should also be done while it is still convenient, and the talent from Kyoto in front of him may be able to help one or two.
Qi You thought about it carefully, and Zhixing stopped when he saw his solemn face.
Only Zhou Han unfolded the rest of the fans on the side, and showed the two of them one by one, which was exactly what was going on.
There was nothing major on the first day, except for the college examination, which was the first time the students entered the county school, and after the placement, they all hung out with their classmates in the same shop. Zhou Han said that his mouth was dry for a long time, and he was still unsatisfied, seeing that Zhixing and Qi You were not very interested, and felt that the two of them were not adaptable, so he took someone out to familiarize himself with the terrain.
The three of them started the first day of county school.
On the other end, near noon, Cai's buns were sold out, and when they were packing up the cage drawer, Li Zhicun arrived in a donkey cart and helped her clean up without saying a word. It was the same two days ago, and it is still the same today.
The little brother who was selling gadgets on the side had already been familiar with Cai's family, and he couldn't help but joke after seeing it: "Little sister-in-law, you are really married to the right person!" β
"I'll send you here early in the morning, and I'll send you back at the right time."
He just mentioned it casually, unintentionally, but the two of them turned red at once.
Li Zhicunhan smiled and touched the back of his head, only laughed without saying a word, opened his mouth and closed it, and insisted on answering this sentence, Cai's face was flushed, and he was surprised when he saw this, and glanced at the young man, and finally only hung his head and hugged the cage drawer to the donkey cart, and did not refute.
Since the two of them exchanged hearts, their behavior has never exceeded in front of outsiders, this is the first time, anyway, they are all unfamiliar people, Cai thought, only this time from the heart.
The two got into the donkey cart, their faces were still red, and after leaving the town, I don't know if the little brother's words gave Li Zhicun confidence, he was full of energy, and blurted out as he drove the car against the wind: "Ah Zhen, I'll explain to my grandfather in a few days." β
Cai's was still reminiscing about what the little brother said just now, but when he heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his heart tightened: "Don't you!" β
Li Zhicun is a tendon in the rectum, and he didn't think much about Cai's, so he said in a low voice: "Why? β
Cai couldn't help but smile bitterly, silly boy, if this is known to the village, their family will have to be pointed out what to be. If you can say that you can mention the kiss to the door as early as after the two of them take a fancy to each other, do you have to wait until now?
A young man in his prime marries a widow or a woman with children....... Not everyone is returning from spring, standing on their side, if it really happens, the gossip in this village can drown them all.
A trace of worry crept up between Cai's eyebrows, and he didn't know whether to laugh at him for being stupid or naΓ―ve, so he casually pointed out the reason: "Liu Gui's incident has just passed, and the old man must be uncomfortable, so you can talk about it when he is happy." β
When she said this, Li Zhicun's face changed to a smile and responded loudly.
Cai glared at the man in front of him angrily, and finally had a good mood, but was ruined by this simple boy again.
