Chapter 37: Distress

officially started to build a house, Cheng Qing was even more idle, he was not needed on both sides, Wang Zhili went out early and returned late, Cheng Qing wanted to stew a chicken for him, and finally was killed by Xiaoyun for breakfast in the kitchen, so he had to serve as an errand runner, and went to build a house to deliver food to Wang Zhili.

"Is it delicious?" Building a house is the most messy, there is no place to sit, and Cheng Qing feels that he is dragging everyone down, so it is not good for people to get up and move stools

Zi made it for him, and then he and Wang Zhili squatted in a slightly clean corner of the room, eating quietly.

Wang Zhili nodded: "Well, it's delicious, have you eaten it?" I think this chicken is a whole chicken, why did you send it to me? ”

"You can't be tired every day, I want to give you something." Cheng Qing said disappointedly: "I originally thought I could make you a soup myself, but I almost blew up the kitchen, so in the end, Xiaoyun made it." I'm so useless! I can't help at all, and I always bother you..."

Cheng Qing lowered his head guiltily, Wang Zhili knew that Cheng Qing had indeed been sullen recently, and thought that he had something unhappy, but he didn't expect it to be for this.

"You helped me take good care of Xiaoshan, isn't it a help?"

"How can that be counted? Xiaoshan is my son, shouldn't I take care of him? Besides, I just accompanied him to and from school, accompanied him to write, and the rest of my daily life was also taken care of by Xiaoyun, and I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father at all..."

"Cheng Qing, do you know that my uncles say that about me?" Wang Zhili put down his chopsticks and asked Cheng Qing to raise his head to look at himself.

Cheng Qing shook his head: "What? ”

"They said, I Wang Zhili is how much virtue I have accumulated in my previous life to marry a good husband like you in this life, they say that they regret not letting their son come to ask for marriage, in this case, such a good husband is their family..."Wang Zhili said seriously: "Everyone knows that you are good, and everyone knows that you are good to me, so, you have really helped me a lot, and you are not allowed to think about it in the future, okay?" ”

Cheng Qing didn't know if Wang Zhili was comforting him or really thinking so, but when he thought that Wang Zhili was already so tired and worried about his affairs, he couldn't say anything, so he simply nodded, helped him pick up chopsticks, and let him continue eating.

Wang Zhili couldn't drink two more bowls of chicken soup, and seeing that there was still a small half pot of chicken soup, Cheng Qing was worried. Wang Zhili is not good at giving leftovers to others, he himself doesn't like to eat such oily things, and he feels a pity when he pours it out, and when he is worried, Wang Xiaoshan ran to the house.

"Daddy, daddy, Sister Xiaoyun said you came here, where are you?" Wang Xiaoshan began to shout as soon as he entered the door, and the uncles who were eating and talking there all pointed to the two people nested together in the corner as if they were laughing, and after Xiaoshan thanked him, he ran to Cheng Qing's side.

"Hill? Why are you here? Aren't you going to school today? Wang Xiaoshan squatted in front of the two of them, startling Cheng Qing and said in surprise.

"Master has something to do today, so I'll have a day off." Wang Xiaoshan looked at the pot of chicken soup without blinking, and said aggrievedly: "Dad, I'm so hungry." ”

"Then finish eating these." Wang Zhili handed the bowl to Wang Xiaoshan and said to Cheng Qing: "I'll go to work in the back first, and you go back to eat quickly." ”

"Xiaoshan, your father eats the left..."Cheng Qing looked at Wang Xiaoshan, who had already gobbled up, and simply didn't say the following words: "Then I'll wait for Xiaoshan to finish eating before leaving." ”

"Dad, I can also help here, you go back to eat first, and I will take all the pots and pans back then."

Wang Xiaoshan said as he swallowed.

Cheng Qing can also think about it: "Okay, don't do anything too tiring, you can do it, and go home when you're tired, you know?" ”

"Hmm!"

When Cheng Qing returned home, Xiaoyun didn't see Xiaoshan, and asked suspiciously: "What about Xiaoshan?" Looking for a son, didn't you run into it? ”

"He's staying over there to help, leave him alone."

"Eh, let's have dinner then, the dishes are ready."

"Okay."

After eating, Cheng Qing seemed to have nothing to do again, and he was really bored, so he took out a book he hadn't read for a long time from the small study and read it seriously.

Reading books is indeed Cheng Qing's favorite daily pastime, looking at it, the sun is about to set.

"Xiaoyun, you cook the food, I'll call Wang Zhili and Xiaoshan back."

"Eh, don't worry, Childe."

As soon as Cheng Qing got up to go out, an unexpected guest came to the house.

"Master Chen?" After Xiaoshan studied carefully, Cheng Qing hadn't seen Master Chen much, but he hadn't forgotten Master Chen's appearance.

Master Chen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Is it convenient for me to come in and sit?" ”

"Of course." Cheng Qing hurriedly invited Master Chen into the house. Chen Fuzi is a saint in Wangjia Village, who has been teaching for nearly 50 years, and many people in the village are his students, and he is especially admired by the villagers.

After Xiaoyun brought the tea, Cheng Qing entertained Master Chen with a smile: "This is old tea, but it tastes quite fragrant, I heard that Master Chen likes to drink tea, why don't you taste it?" ”

Chen Fuzi nodded: "Okay." ”

He took a sip, and the tea fragrance lingered in his mouth: "Well, it is indeed good tea." ”

Cheng Qing smiled: "If Master Chen likes it, I'll ask someone to wrap it up later, and take it with Master when he leaves." ”

"Good tea should be good, I'm old, and I really can't detect the taste." Master Chen waved his hand: "You still keep this tea for yourself, you are also a tea lover, I think you are more suitable for these teas than me." ”

"Master, you're gracious." Cheng Qing said: "Is it that Xiaoshan is causing trouble in the private school again, making the master unhappy?" You told me that I would teach Xiaoshan a good lesson. ”

"It's not Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan has been a lot more well-behaved under your upbringing, I know that neither you nor Zhili want him to be a showman, but with Xiaoshan's current funding, it's okay to take the Xiucai exam."

"Master is in love, Zhili and I really don't have this mind." Cheng Qing said embarrassedly: "And Xiaoshan, this child, let him go to the private school now, that is, I forced him to go, so let him go to the Xiucai exam, I'm afraid that he will tear off the roof." ”

Chen Fuzi smiled: "This is also true, this is fine." ”

"Yes, but the master didn't come this time for Xiaoshan, who is it for?"

"For you."

Cheng Qing was puzzled: "Me? ”

"Hmm." Chen Fuzi said: "I never like to beat around the bush, so I'll just say it." ”

"You say."

"I have a student who is a well-known good man in Cheng'an Town, and his surname is Chu. He came to me out of the blue today and said that he wanted to ask me to help introduce his son, Hatsukage. Chen Fuzi said unhurriedly: "Chuying is the only son of my student, a twin, smart and clever since childhood, but he is just a twin. It's not that the junior staff doesn't like Shuang'er.,On the contrary, he has high hopes for the first shadow.,Even since he was a child, he invited a special teacher to go to the house to teach the first shadow knowledge.,But the teachers are mostly men.,The more the knowledge taught is in the back, the more you can't be a double child.,The junior outside began to worry.,He asked around about everyone's Shuang'er to teach the first shadow.,But there was no result.。 However, he accidentally learned about you one day, so he came to me, hoping that I would be a lobbyist, so that you could teach Hatsukage the next knowledge, and you can rest assured, the salary will not be less. What do you think? ”

"Master said with a smile, I am just an ordinary Shuang'er, how can I be a teacher for a beginner's foreign family?"

"I don't dare to say whether others can do it, but because it was you, I agreed to come down and help him become a lobbyist."

Cheng Qing said distressedly: "This..."

Chen Fuzi was understanding: "You don't have to answer me now, you can discuss with Zhili, this is not a good thing for you." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You are Shuang'er, you should understand that even if Shuang'er's status has risen a little, I am afraid that he will be looked down upon. Hatsukage is a good boy, gentle and well-behaved and sensible, I think if he follows you, he will definitely learn some good things, which is a good thing. After you marry Zhili, you are a husband, and there are servants behind you to help, I think you should also have nothing to do every day, in this case, it can be regarded as finding you an errand, which is a good thing. The salary paid by the junior is definitely not low, and you can still use the salary to support the family at that time, which is a good thing. ”

was said by Master Chen, Cheng Qing felt very reasonable, and he didn't want to refuse in person, so he had to say that he would think about it again and give him news in a few days.

Cheng Qing sat on the bed in a daze after taking a shower, Wang Zhili also washed up and entered the house, seeing Cheng Qing in a daze, he thought that he was still thinking about his useless things, and when he didn't know how to persuade him, Cheng Qing opened his mouth and said what Master Chen came to get rid of today.

“… So, do you think I'm going to take this student? Cheng Qing lay down in distress: "Actually, I'm not very reluctant to this matter, I'm just worried that I will teach that child badly, and it's not good to ruin the child when the time comes." ”

Wang Zhili: "You won't teach your children badly, you like."

Want to teach that child? ”

"I can't say if I want to... The main thing is that what Master Chen said is right, he is a Shuang'er, and now he is the only one who can teach Shuang'er seriously and wholeheartedly, but I don't know if I can do it..."

"You can." Wang Zhili said firmly: "I think you can do it." ”

Cheng Qing looked at Wang Zhili and asked, "Do you want me to teach that child?" ”

"I also think what the Master said is right, do you still tell me today that there is nothing to do? It's okay to find something for yourself to do. Besides, it is a matter of teaching and educating people, in the end, it is also accumulating virtue and doing good, and the beginners are well-known good people, helping others, we are also good people. ”

"That's what you think?"

Wang Zhili nodded: "Besides, it won't be too tiring for you, I think it's good." ”

Now that Wang Zhili has also said it, Cheng Qing doesn't think about it anymore: "Okay, I'll go to the master tomorrow to talk to me." ”

"Well, but if you're tired, don't force it."
