In the hall, the women were chatting while taking the soles of their shoes, and a woman asked strangely.

"I can't see it at this time, I must have gone crazy somewhere." Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "There are many children in the village, and this age is the time when everything is strange and active, so they like to play, so they go without restraint." ”

"It's just that at this age, let's play with them, and after two years of going to private school, I don't have so much time to play."

The Empress Dowager accosted, "Send it to a private school in the town?" ”

"Yes, the town is not far from home, send it over to catch an ox cart on weekdays, and you can come back in two or three days.

"Don't tell me, what is that private school called Qingfeng Academy now, right? It's so famous in our whole Xiangshan. There is such a young prefect as Zhixia in the academy, and now he has been promoted all the way to the Beijing official, and others say that Qingfeng Academy has good feng shui, and many people from afar have sent their children there to study. ”

"The future is related to one's own ability, what does it have to do with Feng Shui." The queen mother complained, "If you really have good feng shui and can be a Beijing official, then Nanling must not be messed up." ”

Mrs. Liu hated her, "If others believe it or not, we just need to know what's going on, and you're more serious." ”

"Why don't you take it seriously, Croton is about to be officially enlightened, and then you have to go to a private school." The scene of Croton being surrounded by a group of students who were chanting feng shui treasures came to mind, and the Queen Mother shuddered.

When she goes back, she wants to go to that private school to see it in person, if she is not satisfied, then she will not go, leave it at home, she will teach Qin Xiao personally!

I hadn't talked about this topic before, and with her and Qin Xiao teaching Croton intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't think about the private school.

But now there is some urgency.

In the past, I had planned to ask the Great Confucian in the capital to guide Croton, but now that she and Qin Xiao are both "dead people" and are no longer in the capital, how can they invite the Great Confucian to go?

Counting on the wind and cypress?

That guy can't wait to rebuild the croton, he'll think a lot about the croton flower!

The Queen Mother was worried.

couldn't sit still in the hall, so he ran to look for Qin Xiao in the newly opened vegetable garden outside the courtyard wall.

The former general is now dressed in a coarse cloth short, with a sweat towel around his neck, and an iron pickaxe in his hand to organize the vegetable bed.

While working, he greeted and chatted with the villagers passing by outside the vegetable garden, and although the expression on his face was not much, he restrained his anger and was as peaceful as an ordinary old man.

It's like a native of Xinghua Village.

"Qin Xiao, I have something to discuss with you." Opened the door of the vegetable garden and walked in, squatted down beside the man with her skirt, and plucked the weeds growing on the vegetable bed, not forgetting to her orchid fingers.

"Now that the sun is still shining, how did you come out? If you have something to say, the ground is dirty, don't squat here. Seeing the woman come in, Qin Xiao hurriedly stopped his movements, wanting to stop the woman, but was given a blank look.

"What is dirty, you still deal with yellow mud all day long, I hate you?"

The man was stunned, the corners of his lips curled slightly, he took the straw hat hanging aside, carefully put it on for the woman, and led the annoyance to a shady place in the corner of the wall to sit down, "Find me in such a hurry, what's the matter?" ”

"Our croton and red beans are about to enter the age of enlightenment in private schools, we used to be in the capital, and this matter is not in a hurry, but now we can't go back, Feng Qingbai and Nannan have no intention of returning to Beijing, I estimate that the teaching of croton and red beans should be in Cangwu Town in the future, almost the same."

"Are you worried that the private school here is not good and delays the baby?" Qin Xiao guessed what the woman was struggling with.

"You're not worried?" The woman's eyes widened with excitement.

The autumn wind blew from the side, brushed the broken hair around her ears, and jumped mischievously on the bridge of her nose, adding a bit of vividness to the woman's angry countenance.

A wisp of laugh lines crawled into the corners of Qin Xiao's eyes, and he raised his index finger to smooth the hair behind the woman's ears, "Don't worry." Zhixia can still get out of that private school, do you think our croton is not as good as Zhixia? ”

The woman pursed her lips, glared at the man after a moment, and got up to leave, "I smell of sweat, I will come back in the morning and take a bath before eating." ”

"Okay." Staring at the woman's head and chest, the back of Na leaving, Qin Xiao's eyes were full of smile and soft.

No matter how big or small, as long as there is something, Aman's first thought is to come to him, instead of carrying everything by himself as before.

He hopes that in his lifetime, he can always be her most reliable support.

His Aman only needs to live elegantly and proudly, as he did when he was young, he can't give her gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes, but he can give her carefree.

After so many detours, I finally returned to the original point.

He has no regrets.

Because after all, he was with his Aman.

"Dear grandpa, eat, grapes! Grapes, so sweet! ”

Outside the vegetable garden, a milky child's voice interrupted Qin Xiao's thoughts.

Croton and Red Bean ran towards him happily, and Red Bean was holding two purple grapes in his hand and held them high.

Squatted down, held the two babies, picked them up one by one and walked out, "Picking grapes?" Only two of them? The in-laws and mothers in the family are not enough. ”

"Also, my grandfather, you eat first." Croton took a grape from the red bean hand and stuffed it into the man's mouth, opening his dark jade eyes, "Sweet or not?" ”

Croton rarely speaks in the wrong voice, but whenever he calls him, he likes to call him his grandfather like a red bean.

He listened, and became more cordial.

"Sweet." The man's restrained eyes floated softly, and he let the baby wipe his little hands stained with purple juice all over his clothes.

After wiping, the little baby pulled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat beads oozing from the corners of the man's forehead.

On the other side, there is also a milk baby with small hands, making the shape of a small fan, fanning away the lingering heat for him.

"Grandpa, it's cool."

"Well, it's cool."

"Eat, this, this cool." As he spoke, Hongdou wanted to pull off the silk gloves in his hand, but Qin Xiao grabbed them.

kissed the baby's little hand, "Grandpa is not hot, not uncomfortable." ”

"Really?" The baby blinked, and the little person would already show his worries.

Holding the baby steady, the man smiled, "Really." ”

One big and two small turned around the corner of the courtyard wall, and then returned to the courtyard of the Liu family, and after the red bean wanted to feed the last grape in his hand to the elders one by one and was refused, he stuffed it into his small mouth, and the willow leaves outside also came back with a basket full of grapes.

The image is staggering.

His hair was disheveled, his hair was stained with fine pieces of dead leaves and hay stalks, his clothes were clean and plain, stained with purple juice and dust, and his knees were the dirtiest, and there were faint traces of blood oozing out.

"Liu Ye, did you fall into the ravine?" Old woman Liu asked with her mouth half open.

Liu Ye forced himself to squeeze out a smile, "The slave was careless when she was walking, and she fell in the back ravine." ”

It's a shame that the ravine is out of water, otherwise, she would be more than that!
