Closer and closer, the more clearly you can hear the chirping of chickens and ducks, look closely, the houses are neat, layer by layer of clamshells neatly, although there are poultry on the road, but the whole road is clean and tidy, as if someone is cleaning every day.

Lu Caiqing sighed, no wonder the people in the village are so rich, it turns out that there are mountains and rivers, fruit trees, and fertile fields, and rich natural conditions, which are incomparable to Chenjia Village.

The countrymen got up early, and some people came out to fetch water, so Song Ziyu hurriedly inquired, only to know that Mrs. Song lived in the house that relied on the last trip, because he was a big official who returned to his hometown here, and his temper was a little weird, so the village approved a single-door courtyard for him, at the back of the village.

Song Ziyu made the intention clear, and the people told them the address, and the person also persuaded them not to go, saying that Mr. Yang Baoyi did not accept apprentices, and several people who came before were sent away by the stubborn old man, and no one dared to come to study as soon as he came and went, although he used to be the emperor's teacher, but they all knew that his stinky temper was not easy to provoke, so no one came again.

Lu Caiqing just smiled when he heard this, thanked the people for their kind reminders, and insisted on going to Mr. Yang's house to try.

When Lu Caiqing came, he put Uncle Lin's recommendation letter in his pocket and discussed it with Zifei, who also wanted to prove himself and succeed in his studies through his own efforts.

The ox cart came to the last courtyard of Taojia Village, where there is a single courtyard, three large tile houses, the yard is clean and tidy, and there is an old locust tree at the door, and Song Ziyu tied the ox cart to the tree.

Before he could finish tidying up, he saw an elderly man hurrying out of the courtyard, and I saw that he was fifty miles away, wearing a broken straw hat on his head, and his hair exposed outside the brim of the hat was already gray. On his shoulders is a gray but not gray, yellow and yellow gown. The whole back, black and shiny, sparkled as if coated with a layer of oil.

Seeing him hurriedly running over and shouting at Song Ziyu: "Who asked you to tie the car to our house, the old man should lose his temper again when he comes back, if this bark is gnawed by the old cow, who will pay for it?" ”

When Song Zifei saw that it was an old man, he was about to bow down, but when he heard him mention the master, he knew that she was a subordinate of Mrs. Yang's family.

Lu Caiqing walked a few steps with a smile on his face and said, "Old man! Don't worry, my old cow has a sleeve on his mouth, and he can't gnaw on the old bark, and my brother Song also tied the reins very tightly, so he couldn't hurt the bark. ”

"And what are you doing chained to my door? Oh! I know, I must have heard that my master is a knowledgeable person who wants to learn from a teacher! My lord doesn't accept students, and there are more children from rich families here, but they haven't made it, so you better go back! The old man raised his hand and said with an impatient look.

Song Ziyu listened and said with a smile: "Old man! My younger brother has a smart head, quick hands and feet, is a smart and capable child, we want to meet Mr. Yang, you will be accommodating, it is really not too late for us to go. ”

"I said it! It's not that I don't let me see it, the old man has a weird temper, he doesn't let people enter the door casually, he likes to be quiet, I don't dare to call the shots casually, I see that you don't have a show, just leave quickly! Don't be scolded at that time, it's not good to be blown away. The old man persuaded with a soothing attitude.

After saying that, the old man was about to close the door and go back, Song Ziyu and Zifei both looked at Lu Caiqing, she was also very anxious, seeing that the old man was about to close the door, she suddenly "Ah! He crouched on the ground.

Song Ziyu and the others didn't know what was wrong with her, so they hurriedly asked: "Little daughter-in-law (Sister Caiqing), how are you?" ”

Lu Caiqing was supported by the two, sat on the ground with one butt, and regardless of the newly made clothes on his body, he sat on the ground with a big grin, covered his head and said, "Brother Song!" When I first arrived, I was in a hurry, and I sat on the ox cart and basked in the sun all morning, and I was a little dizzy, as if I was suffering from heat stroke. ”

Song Ziyu looked up, and sure enough, the sun was shining on his head, and the roasting was uncomfortable, he quickly took off his coat, propped it on Lu Caiqing's head, and asked worriedly: "How is it now, are you feeling better now?" "That big tree has no shade now, and it's not a way to bask in the sun like this, how are you, little daughter-in-law?"

Lu Caiqing heard the urgent concern in Song Ziyu's voice, but now he has to pretend to the end, otherwise how can he enter other people's homes, but he is honest and honest, if he gives him a hint, maybe he will show his feet, and the little uncle Zifei is different, and he needs to cooperate.

Lu Caiqing took advantage of Zifei to support himself, gently pinched Song Zifei, and then then pressed his hand, peeked at him, and then pretended to rub his temples and said, "Brother Song!" Don't worry, I'm just dizzy, just rest for a while, it's just that I'm a little thirsty, Zifei, let's bring water? ”

When Song Zifei heard that he really had his own business, he thought that Sister Cai Qing had pinched herself just now, and suddenly understood her intentions, and hurriedly said: "Sister Cai Qing!" We brought little water, and we drank it on the way here, and now you are dizzy and still exposed to the sun like this, what can we do? ”

The old man, who was about to close the door, had been observing the movement here, and when he saw the young woman sitting on the ground, he wanted to go and see it at once, but before leaving, the old man told him not to meddle in his affairs, so he stopped, but did not go in.

Hearing a few people talking, knowing that they needed water, it seemed that the big man was anxious enough, the woman should be his daughter-in-law, it seemed that the two of them were helping the young man to study, the woman was blocked and could not see, and the voice seemed to be very weak, the old man still took a step in sympathy, moved closer and asked, "What's wrong with this girl?" ”

Song Zifei suddenly got up and grabbed his hand and said, "Uncle! Save me Sister Caiqing! She has a heat stroke, can you go to the shade in your courtyard to rest for a while, just for a while, and we will leave when I get better. ”

At first, the old man thought that they were pretending to be a ghost and deceiving him, but the young man's trembling hand held him tightly, and he could feel the child's anxiety and worry, and after weighing it, he nodded and said, "Hurry up!" If you are exposed to the sun here again, you will be unconscious after a while, but you can only come into the yard, and you are not allowed to enter the house! I'm just in charge of the yard, and I'm not in charge of the rest. ”

Song Ziyu put down her clothes, picked up Lu Caiqing and walked into the courtyard anxiously, and found a shady place to put her down.

Song Ziyu heard the old man say that he could go in to rest, so without saying a word, he picked up Lu Caiqing and walked into the courtyard and put her in a clean place, while he let her lean on himself.

Lu Caiqing was really tired from taking the car, her waist hurt and her feet were numb, and there was a meat pad next to her who just leaned down to rest for a while, in order to sympathize with her, she closed her eyes weakly, and just rested for a while, didn't she say that the master was not at home, so it was just a little more to wait until he came back.

To say that Song Ziyu really thought that the little daughter-in-law was suffering from heat stroke, she picked up the pu fan on the table and fanned it vigorously, not to mention sitting in a cool place, leaning on the meat pad and someone flashing the wind, it was quite comfortable, Song Zifei said again: "Uncle! Sister Caiqing is thirsty, can I give saliva to drink? ”

When the old man heard this, he nodded again and again: "I forgot, you wait for me to get it for you!" ”

After saying that, the old man turned around and went into the house to get water, Song Zifei quickly squatted down and asked, "Sister Caiqing!" You see it's okay for me to say that, right? ”

Lu Caiqing opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose and smiled: "Stinky boy is your cleverness, this old man is good at saying some good things and sympathy, let's wait for Mrs. Yang to come back." ”

Song Zifei listened and said confidently: "Okay! In order to succeed in school, this is the only way to do it. Eldest brother! You fan a little harder, Sister Cai Qing is fine! ”

Song Ziyu was honest in his heart, and he also knew that the two of them were tired of kittens, so he suddenly realized and said, "Oh! It turned out to be ...... It frightened me just now, but the weather is hot and the road is far away, and I am willing to wait for my little daughter-in-law like this, so as not to make a mistake. ”

Lu Caiqing stretched out his hand and took his hand and said, "Don't worry!" We don't do bad things, we just play smart. Everything is for Zifei's study path. ”

Song Ziyu listened, nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

The old man came out in a hurry, and saw the two of them surrounding Lu Caiqing, he hurriedly handed the water scoop up, Lu Caiqing opened his eyes at this time, and cast a grateful look: "Thank you, uncle!" If it weren't for your help, I don't know what happened, we will definitely be grateful to you when we look back, by the way, Zifei has wolf skins in our car, I think Mr. Yang's apprenticeship is probably not good, in order to thank the uncle for saving his life, take down the things and give them to the uncle! ”

Song Ziyu didn't dare to say much now, for fear that talking too much would make a mistake, since the little daughter-in-law did this, she must have her reasons.

Song Zifei nodded when he heard this, got up and ran out, the old man wanted to stop him, but before he could say anything, the person had already run out, thinking that the young man still had good physical strength, and said that he was going where to go, unlike when he was old, he couldn't keep up with walking.

Song Zifei quickly moved the things down, put them in the courtyard, put the wolf skin on the old man's hands and said, "Thank you for your help today, let us come in to escape the heat, you can make a mattress for this wolf skin!" In the winter, sleep on it to warm up. ”

"No, no, no! This thing is so valuable, I can't accept it, and when the master goes out, he won't let outsiders enter the hospital, and you can leave when this girl is better! When the master and Kuroko go out, I dare to let you in, and if you let the master know, you should discipline me again. ”

Lu Caiqing leaned on Song Ziyu and said, "Uncle! Why doesn't your master accept students? As a teacher, it is also a merit to be full of peach and plum all over the world, why bury knowledge, isn't it a waste of talent? ”

"These literary things, I don't understand, anyway, my lord has a bad temper, very weird, I only came to be in charge of guarding the door when the lord moved over, the sunspot is the lord's right and left hand, it is said that such a big official sues the old man to return to his hometown, how can he have a group of family members, and there are countless people, but my lord is a master and a servant, and he is in charge of food and daily life, maybe only he knows the details."
