Chapter 17: Punishment
Zhen Yanhao asked them to take care of their luggage first, and then beckoned the juniors and juniors to come over and let them escort Zhou Jingxuan to the outside of the city.
Seeing this, Qin Laozhong also hurriedly followed.
After crossing the moat, you can see patches of land connected together, some of which have just been renovated, and some of which are planted with various vegetables.
Qin Laozhong led them to a vegetable field with relatively scarce soil, where a mother-in-law with gray hair and a wrinkled face, wearing a patched burlap coat, was busy in the field alone.
Seeing them coming, the mother-in-law hurriedly greeted them: "Master Qin, you are here!" ”
Qin Laozhong waved his hand at her, and then said, "Granny Wu, is there anything that needs to be done in this field?" Adults asked this kid to help you! ”
"This..."Granny Wu looked at Zhou Jingxuan and Shi Zhongzhu, and then looked into the ground.
I don't know if she dislikes the immature teenager in front of her, or if she feels embarrassed.
Qin Laozhong didn't wait for her to answer, so he pointed to the empty piece of vegetables that had just been harvested and said, "I'll turn it over here today!" After he finished speaking, he asked Xiao San to come over and bring farm tools.
Xiao San took a big shovel from the side with a familiar car.
Seeing this, Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly took the big shovel, but was snatched by Qin Laozhong and stuffed it into Zhou Jingxuan's hand: "Whoever the adult says will be punished!" Letting someone else do it for you will only make adults even more unhappy! ”
Zhou Jingxuan had no choice but to take the big shovel.
Although he has seen others make farm tools, he has grown so big, and today is the first time he has gone to the field!
"Take your time, you'll be ready in a while!"
Qin Laozhong patiently pointed at Zhou Jingxuan, reassuring him not to be impatient.
Seeing this, Shi Zhongzhu went to get a pickaxe and came over to help Zhou Jingxuan turn over the ground.
If Zhen Yanhao was in front of him, Zhou Jingxuan would have to give him a shovel according to his head. But the person in front of him was not Zhen Yanhao, but Qin Laozhong, who looked honest. And there were two more soldiers with spears staring at themselves.
Forget it, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads! Zhou Jingxuan endured his anger, was patient, and dug up the ground honestly.
The sun peeked out of the clouds and watched the land silently.
The wind swept across the fields, bringing the scent of golden rape flowers.
Zhou Jingxuan was not in the mood to enjoy this idyllic beauty.
He had only been digging for a while, and his back was sore, and he couldn't do it. simply threw the shovel away, sat on the ground, and shouted that he was tired and said he wouldn't do it!
"What? Tired so fast? That's how you grow all the food you eat! ”
Qin Laozhong stuffed the big shovel back into his hand again, and he explained the difficulties of being a farmer beside him, and persuaded him to cherish the ...... in front of him.
Zhou Jingxuan had no choice but to stand up again, Ren Qin Laozhong was there to talk to himself, and he was angry and digging the land in front of him.
When he finished digging half of the ground, he finally couldn't support it anymore, and sat down on the ground again, calling Shi Zhongzhu to fetch water.
Hearing this, Granny Wu hurriedly walked over with a kettle: "Little brother, if you don't dislike it, just drink my water?" ”
Qin Laozhong hurriedly said, "Granny Wu, how can this work?" He's going to drink your water, what will you drink later? ”
"Alas! Is this tiredness and thirst nothing? To be able to do more! I'm used to that! But you young people can't bear this suffering! ”
Although Zhou Jingxuan never disliked the old man, looking at the sticky kettle and the wrinkled old woman, he couldn't drink the water anyway, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it!" Just let Zhongzhu go and get me some water. ”
When Shi Zhongzhu heard this, he hurriedly put down his head, ran to the pond, and after a while, he used a washed rape leaf to pick up a leaf of water.
Zhou Jingxuan took it and drank it all, and then he felt a little more comfortable.
Seeing the soldiers urging vigorously, Zhou Jingxuan had no choice but to get up and continue digging the land.
Qin Laozhong's mouth was still not idle, he was still teaching endlessly, and he didn't seem to feel thirsty at all.
If it weren't for his age and the fact that he had helped himself, Zhou Jingxuan would have already beckoned him with the guy in his hand.
finally managed to reach the westward setting of the sun, and the land was almost turned over, and I saw Zhen Yanhao riding over alone.
"It's only been an hour, and it's getting dark, it's really cheap, this kid!" Zhen Yanhao chattered dissatisfiedly as he walked.
Zhou Jingxuan was so angry that he threw the shovel in his hand, Qin Laozhong hurriedly pressed him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Jingxuan, don't be impulsive!" Where there is life, there is hope! ”
Zhen Yanhao didn't care about Zhou Jingxuan's actions, he just shouted: "I'll spare you for the time being, but boy, you remember for me, next time I dare to fall into the hands of your family, hey, hey!" I'm really sorry for you! ”
You also wait for Lao Tzu! Zhou Jingxuan thought resentfully, but said in his mouth: "Thank you for teaching!" I can go now! ”
"Let's go, let's go!" Zhen Yanhao waved his hand, and then seemed to think of something: "That's right, boy!" You wait for me at the gates! My lord, I have something to ask you. ”
Zhou Jingxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his sore and blistering hands, and responded weakly: "Got it." ”
Sky! Can't imagine that doing farm work is so tiring? If I had known, I wouldn't have come to that perverted old man!
Zhou Jingxuan was afraid that Zhen Yanhao would deliberately make things difficult for him again, and when he walked to the gate of the city, he took advantage of a carriage to enter the city, and everyone's attention was on the kung fu there.
Before Zhen Yanhao could react, he grabbed the burden and pulled Shi Zhongzhu away.
Along the way, seeing that Zhou Jingxuan was silent with a sullen face, Shi Zhongzhu carefully spoke: "Childe, I think what Qin Ye said just now is good!" It all makes sense. ”
Zhou Jingxuan rubbed his sore arm and took a sip: "Successfully brainwashed?" Only a nerd like you would listen to him! ”
"No, I think Qin Ye is really good!"
Zhou Jingxuan no longer paid attention to Shi Zhongzhu, but his face gradually became solemn.
Seeing that the sky had darkened, the two of them were walking on the street a little irritably, and they saw their classmates Yun Haoyu and Qin Xiyu, looking anxiously around in the crowd.
This Qin Xiyu was originally the son of the editor of the Hanlin Academy; Although Yun Haoyu never told his identity, with his cousin relationship with Qin Xiyu, his family must also have some involvement with the government.
Originally, all the people in this academy were ordinary children, but I don't know what Qin Xiyu's parents thought, so they sent their son to this "people's academy"!
is the son of an official eunuch in the entire academy, so some students with a "hatred of the rich" mentality are very unkind to see him, and Zhou Jingxuan is no exception.
Qin Xiyu, who was dressed in moon-white silk clothes, was naturally timid and never bullied others, but there were many people who bullied him in turn.
At this time, his cousin Yun Haoyu, who was one year older than him, would stand up and protect him in front of him.
