011 Withdrawal
Before he got home, Mu Qing saw an ox cart parked at the gate of the courtyard, Mu Qing squinted, and before he could see who it was, Xiao Douding had already rushed over in a hurry, and shouted happily: "Second uncle, second uncle, have you brought me something delicious?" Mu Qing took two steps, and then she saw a young man in a robe standing at the gate of the courtyard, who was Tian Jizu she had seen at the funeral.
Tian Jizu also saw Mu Qing, and greeted her with a chatter, shouting "Sister-in-law." Then he stood at the gate of the courtyard at a loss, not knowing what to say.
Mu Qing didn't think much about it, she only felt that this person was probably stupid when she usually read and read, and she didn't even know the basic human feelings. When Mu Qing was in school, he still admired this kind of person who didn't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages. But after leaving the society, she knew that this kind of person would either engage in scientific research all his life, or he would suffer a big loss when he entered the society. As for Tian Jizu, looking at Chen's posture, he is ready to read for a lifetime. I don't know if Chen did this for Tian Jizu or hurt him.
However, when Mu Qing has lived in ancient times for a long time in the future, she will know that there are great people like Tian Jizu! That's why stories like Fan Jinzhongju appeared in history. These are all afterthoughts, so I won't show them for the time being.
Xiao Shi had been following behind them, and his house was not far from Tian Laibao's house, so they came back all the way. At this time, when he saw Tian Jizu, he saluted respectfully, shouted "Second Brother", and then said hello to Mu Qing and went home with a fish.
Tian Jizu didn't know what to say to Mu Qing, and Mu Qing didn't have anything to say to him, the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, and entered the courtyard one after another. It was Xiao Douding who was excited, holding Tian Jizu's hand and asking curiously about the things in the town. Mu Qing picked up the fish and went directly into the kitchen, Tian Jizu looked at her back and moved his mouth to say something, but Chen shouted loudly in the room: "Jizu, what are you still doing in the yard, you have rushed all the way, hurry into the house to rest." Tian Jizu's eyes looked in the direction of the kitchen, and he still obeyed Chen's instructions and entered the house. This little episode, Mu Qing naturally didn't see it.
Mu Qing didn't know how people in ancient times made fish, she made it according to the practice in her memory. However, some seasonings were not available in ancient times, so the taste made in Mu Qing could only be unsatisfactory. But when she brought the dishes to the table, she received unanimous praise from Tian Jizu and Tian Laibao.
Chen squinted his eyes and picked a few chopsticks fish, looked at the thick layer of oil in the fish soup, and twitched in distress, and couldn't help but scold: "Loser's thing, is this oil used like this?" You see who is stir-frying like you, what is the oil without money......" scolding, Chen thought of his late eldest son, and felt sad in his heart, and began to cry about her eldest son when he ate every day.
"My eldest man, my poor eldest lang, what kind of sin has my mother done, I want to repay our eldest man. My Da Lang, Da Lang, it's all this mourning star that killed you, my mother regrets it, my mother regrets it......" Chen was about to pounce on Mu Qing's body while crying.
Mu Qing has long been familiar with Chen's routines these days, and his body has flashed to the side since Chen started crying, Chen's body was crooked, he threw himself into the air, and almost fell to the ground.
Chen straightened up and became angry, jumped up angrily and slapped his slap and scolded: "You mourning star, you are the mourning star who killed my eldest man, you still have the face to eat, I will let you eat, I will let you eat......" Chen scolded angrily, and jumped to rush over to grab Mu Qing's bowl. Mu Qing naturally couldn't let her grab it, so she grabbed a nest head and ran out. Tian Laibao was very clever, and took advantage of Chen's inattention to pull fish meat into his bowl, then jumped off the stool and ran towards Mu Qing's room.
Tian Jizu came back for the first time since his eldest brother's funeral, and he was dumbfounded when he saw the movements of Chen and Mu Qing, and he sat there in a daze and forgot to move.
Chen and Mu Qing have been fighting for so many days, and when she saw Mu Qing running away, she was deflated, turned around and came back to continue to sit down and eat. Tian Jizu looked at Chen, then looked at the door, squirmed his mouth, and finally picked up the rice bowl and didn't say anything.
"Step-ancestor, you should hurry back to the town after eating, there is a mother at home, you don't have to worry. Mother heard your sister say a few days ago that the gentlemen in the town praised you for doing a good job, you study hard, give your mother a show before you come back, and your mother is relieved even if she is dead. Before the meal was finished, Chen helped Tian Jizu pick up the vegetables, and chattered about it.
Tian Jizu pursed his lips, and suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't swallow. His eldest brother is gone, and there is no strong labor in the family, only relying on his mother, and he doesn't know how to live in the future. His essay is not the best in the academy at all, and even Mr. said that his essay is mediocre, and he has to work hard to get in. But he is seventeen years old this year, and a family of his age in the village has already started a family. There was one thing he didn't dare to tell Chen, he didn't want to continue studying, he wanted to go home and help the family do something. But looking at Chen's longing face, he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth.
Tian Jizu felt bitter in his heart, and he couldn't swallow the food in his mouth, so he simply put aside the dishes and chopsticks, got up, and said in a low voice: "I'm full" After speaking, he turned around and went back to his room without waiting for Chen's reaction.
Chen was stunned at the dinner table with his mouth half open, this was the first time that his youngest son had shown her face! Thinking of the late eldest son, and then thinking of the future life, Chen was really sad at this time, covering his face and crying.
Although Mu Qing went back to her room, her ears kept paying attention to the movement over there. Under his hands, he carefully helped Tian Laibao pick up the thorns, and listened with his ears. After getting along with Chen for so many days, not only did Chen know a little about her, but she also got to know Chen.
In Mu Qing's opinion, Chen is definitely a strong woman. She can raise three children without the help of others alone, and one of them also goes to school, even in modern times, it is not a simple matter. Aside from the sidelines, Mu Qing still admires the Chen family from the bottom of her heart.
On weekdays, she is used to fighting wits and courage with Chen, and she can still tell whether Chen is really crying or fake crying. At this time, as soon as he heard the whimper of Chen's lowered voice through the door panel, Mu Qing's action of picking thorns under his hand paused, and he listened with his ears for a while, and found that Chen did not mean to stop, so he continued to help Tian Laibao pick thorns. The Chen family is such a strong person on weekdays, Mu Qing will not rush up to find herself ugly at this time, and now that she is in the past, the Chen family will be angry with her. Thinking about it like this, Mu Qing sat more and more steadily.
Living in a courtyard, Mu Qing could hear the movement, Tian Jizu naturally heard it. Listening to Chen's whimpering cry, he only felt as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis in his mouth. With a hard sigh, he stepped out of the room.
As soon as Tian Jizu entered the house, he blocked the light at the door, and Chen, who was covering his face and was sad, noticed that someone had entered the house, and quickly raised the back of his hand to wipe the tears on his face and raised his head. As soon as I looked up, I saw my youngest son standing at the door against the light, silent, and the expression on his face was blurred. Chen's heart suddenly chuckled, and without waiting for his youngest son to speak, he hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and was still complaining about Mu Qing in his mouth.
Tian Jizu pursed his lips, looked at Chen's busy appearance, took firm steps into the house, grabbed Chen's arm who was busy, and said softly: "Mother, don't be busy, I'll discuss something with you." ”
Chen ignored him, shook his hand, picked up the empty bowl on the table and sent it to the kitchen, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he shouted towards Mu Qing's room: "I have never seen such a lazy daughter-in-law, I really think that I am a daughter-in-law, waiting for others to serve you, I'm sorry!" Loser's stuff! He scolded loudly, and his feet were not idle, and he kept entering the kitchen. Chen Jizu looked at Chen's behavior and knew that Chen didn't want to talk to him, but he had been thinking about his withdrawal from school for a long time, and he also said hello to the gentleman in the school. He doesn't want to go back, so he has to talk to Chen today about a result! made up his mind, and Chen Jizu followed him into the kitchen.
Xiao Douding is a clever ghost, knowing that Mu Qing and the Chen family have always been at odds, so he followed Mu Qing back to the room and had a full meal, and then lay on the window lattice to give Mu Qing a lookout.
"Mother, the second uncle also went to the kitchen. We'll go out later. "Little Douding, a little ghost, reported to Mu Qing what he saw.
Mu Qing was holding a handkerchief to study the embroidery on it, and when she heard Xiaodouding's information, her mind moved, what did Tian Jizu do in the kitchen? It's no wonder that Mu Qing thinks about it, how much the Chen family dotes on his little son, although Mu Qing didn't see it with his own eyes, he can guess a few points from others. In addition, the Chen family has always advertised that Tian Jizu is a scholar and will be an official in the future, so Tian Jizu is not allowed to touch the affairs of the family, let alone the things on the stove. With a thought, Mu Qing also stood at the window and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
After a while, Mu Qing saw Chen and Tian Jizu coming out of the kitchen one after another. It's just that Chen's face was pale, and Tian Jizu couldn't see his expression clearly when he lowered his head. I don't know what Tian Jizu said to the Chen family, and he actually made the Chen family angry like this. Mu Qing rolled her eyes and secretly guessed in her heart.
"Mother, grandma and second uncle have gone back to the room, let's go to the kitchen." Xiaodouding was clever, and as soon as he saw Tian Jizu and Chen returning to the upper room, he opened the door and ran to the kitchen. Mu Qing followed him to the kitchen with two empty bowls, but his ears kept paying attention to the movement in the upper room.
A snap came from the upper room, followed by Chen's lowered voice whimper, mixed with Chen's voice. It's just that the voice is low, and Mu Qing can't hear it clearly even with her ears.
Mu Qing wanted to hear what the Chen family and Tian Jizu said, after all, she still had to live in the Tian family for a while, if something changed in this family, it might affect her original plan. But in broad daylight, she couldn't really lie down in the corner to listen, so she kept going around the room in a hurry.
Tian Laibao yawned and watched Mu Qing walk around the room, after all, he was still young and had limited energy, and he had been playing crazy for a morning, and he started to nap at this time. After a while, he collapsed on the bed and snored. Mu Qing skimmed the little bean on the bed, her eyes lit up, this is a pillow when you are sleepy. On weekdays, the Chen family looks like Tian Laibao's eyes, although after getting along day by day, now the Chen family is not as protective of Mu Qing as before, but Xiao Douding must go to Chen's room when he sleeps. Of course, Mu Qing felt that the reason why the Chen family let Xiao Douding follow him now was probably the reason why the Chen family himself couldn't keep busy.
Mu Qing picked up Xiao Douding and walked towards the upper room. It's just that before she entered the house, Chen's whimpering stopped, and Tian Jizu hurriedly walked out of the house with his head down. Seeing Mu Qing walking towards him, Tian Jizu raised his head and hurriedly shouted, "Sister-in-law", and then bowed his head sideways and avoided to the side. Although it was only a quick glance, the clear slap mark on Tian Jizu's face still made Mu Qing see it clearly. Mu Qing's mind was in a hurry, and he didn't know what it was that could make the Chen family even ignore Tian Jizu's face, with such a bright slap print, he went to the school tomorrow and was seen by those gentlemen and classmates, and he didn't know what those people would think. Although his mind turned a few times, Mu Qing's steps did not stop at all and entered the inner room.
Chen sat on the low stool in front of the bed, stunned, and his eyes didn't know where to look. Even when Mu Qing came in, she didn't give her a look. Mu Qing thought about it and put Tian Laibao on the bed lightly and exited the room.
Tian Jizu stood in the small courtyard, and as soon as he saw Mu Qing coming out of the house, he greeted him, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I have decided to drop out of school, and I will go to the field with you from tomorrow." ”
Mu Qing's mouth opened wide in surprise, and now she finally understood what the reason for Chen's gaffe. Not to mention the Chen family, who has been looking forward to him being admitted to Xiucai, even Mu Qing, a modern person who has just crossed over for a few days, is very surprised that Tian Jizu can make such a decision. However, at Tian Jizu's age, he is an adult in this era, and Mu Qing will not say anything about his decision, after all, this is his own decision, Mu Qing, a person who has just entered their house and is still preparing to leave at any time in private, naturally will not say anything.
