Chapter Thirty-Eight: First Shadow

Cheng Qing went to inform Chen Fuzi the next day that he was willing to be the teacher of Chu Ying, and Chen Fuzi was very happy and asked him to go to the town to report to the junior staff.

The first family also attached great importance to this, and the first moment they got the news, they were busy preparing gifts, and the two of them rushed to Wangjia Village with their little shuang'er to visit the new teacher.

Cheng Qing's first impression of Chuying is very good, not to mention good-looking and quiet, and he is also well-read, standing next to his father and mother, he basically doesn't speak, but those eyes are extraordinarily bright, which makes Cheng Qing have a good impression of him.

"Cheng Gongzi, it is his blessing that my son can follow you to read and write, if you have any problems, you can inform us, and we will try our best to solve them." The junior is also a very gentle person, with a sincere smile on his face, Cheng Qing doesn't feel any displeasure when he looks at it.

Cheng Qing smiled: "The two of you are polite, I am an ordinary Shuang'er, today thanks to the trust of the two of you to entrust the baby Shuang'er to me, I will do my best to teach him well, don't worry." ”

"With your words, my lord and I will be relieved." Mrs. Chu asked Chu Ying, who was standing behind her, to kneel down in front of Cheng Qing.

Chuying knelt in front of Cheng Qing and kowtowed three times: "Student Chuying has seen the teacher. ”

Cheng Qing was not too big, stepped forward to help Chu Ying up, and said gently: "I don't know what knowledge I can convey to you, but don't worry, as long as I can, I will help, you can study here with peace of mind." ”

"Thank you, teacher, Hatsuying will definitely study hard." Hatsukage also said seriously.

Seeing this, the staff and his wife were also satisfied, and then left with a group of people, leaving Hatsuei alone.

Cheng Qing said curiously: "Don't you leave someone to accompany you?" ”

"I don't like it." Chuying said: "My father and mother are afraid that I will be injured, so I have taken a bunch of people to guard me since I was a child, but I really don't like it, so I told my father and mother, I can do it alone, and someone will pick me up sooner or later." ”

"Oh..."Cheng Qing nodded: "You are eight years old today?" ”

"Well, in two months I'll be nine years old."

"Did you learn anything?" Cheng Qing was afraid that Chu Ying would be restrained, so he pulled him to sit down in the courtyard and asked Xiaoyun to make delicious food and send it to him.

Cheng Qing handed a piece of pastry to Chu Ying, Chu Ying looked at Cheng Qing, took it shyly, and bit it carefully: "Thank you, teacher." ”

"Don't call me a teacher, just call me uncle, I can only teach you something, but the teacher is still not worthy." Cheng Qing also took a bite of it himself, and felt that it tasted good, so he said to Xiaoyun: "You leave the pastry for some order, Xiaoshan has learned to be delicious." Then I sent the rest over there for Wang Zhili to eat, I remember that he loved to eat this osmanthus cake. ”

"Eh, I got it, I'll go now."

"Is Xiaoshan the teacher's son?" Hatsukage took small bites of the pastry, and before he knew it, he had already eaten the next piece, and he was trained not to move the second piece, even if he wanted to.

Cheng Qing nodded: "Well, my son." But you are not well-behaved, if it were a little twin, I think I should hold him in the palm of my hand, and I would be reluctant to let him go anywhere. ”

Seeing that Chu Ying wanted to eat, he didn't dare to move the second piece out of etiquette, Cheng Qing simply picked it up and stuffed it into Chu Ying's hand: "Don't be so restrained here, I said that treating me as an uncle is an uncle, you can eat if you want, anyway, you are growing your body, if you don't eat well, you will spoil your body." ”

Chu Ying was very grateful, but she didn't eat it, just put the pastry in her hand and looked at Cheng Qing seriously.

Cheng Qing had no choice but to go with him: "You didn't answer me just now, have you studied anything?" ”

"I learned, I learned the three-character scripture well, and the last teacher taught a thousand words, but I haven't finished teaching it, and the others haven't been learned."

"It just so happens that I have a book here, and when it comes to the afternoon, I will teach you to read." Cheng Qing got tired of eating three pieces of dim sum, so he simply stood up and introduced the family to Chuying.

Chuying listened very seriously, and he remembered even inconsequential things, which made Cheng Qing feel that this kid should have been too calculating and becoming stupid.

"Can you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

"I learned a little, but I didn't learn well."

"How's the female red studying?"

"My hands are unlucky, so I can't see anything embroidered, my mother always says that I haven't grown at all, the female red is not good, and I will be disgusted by my in-laws when the time comes..."

Cheng Qing smiled: "Are you thinking about your in-laws so quickly?" ”

Chuying said embarrassedly: "My mother said that in two years, I will find my mother-in-law's family to marry, otherwise, I won't be able to get married." ”

"How is that possible?" Cheng Qing didn't know why Mrs. Chu wanted to say such a thing, if Cheng Qingnian was similar to Chu Ying, Cheng Qing was most taboo about children like Chu Ying, which was simply the target of everyone: "You are so well-behaved, how can you not have your in-laws?" ”

"My mother said that I was stupid, not smart, although obedient but unable to turn around, if I got married and could not get the favor of my husband, it would ruin my life."

"If you can't get it, don't want it." Cheng Qing has experienced the kind of life in Chu Ying's mouth, and it is better not to be desperate to the point of heartbreak: "Chu Ying, listen to me, whether it is looking for a husband or other things, you must make yourself feel happy and feel worthwhile, otherwise it will ruin your life." It's useless to flatter men like this, although Shuang'er is not as good as men, she is not a weak woman, we can stand up to the sky and the earth, we don't need to look at other people's faces, understand? ”

"But, Shuang'er still has to get married, doesn't it?"

"It's good to marry, but you can't marry someone you don't love, and you can't marry someone who doesn't treat you well."

Chu Ying was puzzled: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." I don't know who the other party is before I get married, how do I know if I love or not, how do I know if it's good or not? ”

"Just ask." Cheng Qing said as a matter of course: "If a person is good, then the neighbors will naturally say that he is good, and he will naturally treat you well." If a person is not good, he may treat you well, but he is also likely to treat you badly. ”

"That's... Did the teacher's husband inquire about it the same way? Hatsukage wondered.

Cheng Qing shook his head: "He doesn't need to ask, we are originally from the same village, and I think he is a good person." He didn't dislike my origin, he was willing to marry me, so I promised him, and after getting married, he was very good to me, and Xiaoshan was also very well-behaved, and I felt very happy and happy. ”

"Isn't Xiaoshan born to the teacher?"

"It's not. Xiaoshan was a child he picked up when he was young, but he raised it like his own son since he was a child. Cheng Qing didn't care about telling Wang Xiaoshan's life experience, after all, it was a well-known thing.

Hatsukage nodded understandingly: "Then teacher, if I want to get married, can the teacher help me inquire about whether that person is good or bad?" ”

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Of course you can, if you call me a teacher, I will naturally be good to you, and I naturally want you to live well." ”

"Childe, my uncle is back." Xiaoyun couldn't see Cheng Qing in the courtyard, so he shouted, hoping that Cheng Qing would hear it.

Cheng Qing heard Xiaoyun's words, and hurriedly pulled Chuying out of the backyard, just in time to see Wang Zhili just washing his face and coming out of the kitchen: "Why are you back?" Isn't it busy over there? ”

"I heard Xiaoyun say that there are guests at home, so I came." Wang Zhili wrote lightly.

Cheng Qing heard what he meant, there was a guest at home, if he wasn't there, he was afraid that Cheng Qing wouldn't be able to cope with it alone, so he made a special trip back.

"Let me introduce you, this is Hatsukage." Cheng Qing naturally walked to Wang Zhili's side, and pointed to Chuying to Wang Zhili: "This is my husband, just call him Uncle Wang." ”

"Hello Uncle Wang, I'm Chuying, a student of the teacher." The etiquette of the first film is very good, and he speaks very politely.

Wang Zhili nodded symbolically: "The junior is gone, isn't it?" ”

"Well, I've been gone for a long time, and I was chatting with Hatsukage just now!"

"Then you go on, I'll go take a shower, and I won't go over there today." Wang Zhili walked to the backyard from the side, Cheng Qing saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Xiaoyun to bring the thousand-character text from the small study.

Cheng Qing hadn't read a thousand-character text for a long time, and while explaining the meaning to Chuying, he also relearned it himself, and he could be regarded as living to learn all the time.

At first, Chuying thought that his father and mother just thought he was too stupid, so he found a teacher who didn't have much knowledge at all, but when he heard Cheng Qing's conversation and profound connotation, not only some coherent thinking in the lecture, but even a lot of history to explain to him, Chuying really felt that he benefited a lot, and some obscure things could be understood slowly.

“… That's all for today, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn if you talk too much. Cheng Qing closed the book and put it on the table next to him, and said to Chuying, "How is it?" Do you feel bored or don't understand? ”

Hatsukage shook his head: "Teacher, what you said is very good, I have learned a lot, and I have slowly learned some things that I don't understand." ”

"Really? That would be great. Cheng Qing said happily: "I'm still afraid that what I said is not good, and it will make you uncomfortable with half understanding." ”

Chu Ying took the book that Cheng Qing put on the table, and looked at it seriously, Cheng Qing didn't bother him to stand up and walk in the yard, remembering that Wang Zhili had gone home but the person was gone, and asked Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun pointed to the back, and Cheng Qing walked slowly to the backyard.

Wang Zhili was chopping wood, Cheng Qing looked at him unhappily, he was sweating even after taking a bath, isn't this the same as not washing?

"Didn't you take a shower?" Cheng Qing stepped forward to help him wipe the sweat on his face: "It's hard to take a break and be so busy, can't you lie down and sit?" ”

"I'm fine." Wang Zhili was worried that the dirty smell on his body would affect Cheng Qing, so he consciously avoided Cheng Qing's hand to wipe his sweat, Cheng Qing felt his dodge, his face was a little unhappy, Wang Zhili hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid that I'm dirty, and it's not good to mess with you." ”

Cheng Qing was going to wipe his sweat with his clothes: "I don't dislike it, what do you care?" ”
