On the way back for the three of them, Chun Tao bought all the cowpeas left by the vegetable vendor, and asked him to send the cowpeas to Zhou's house in Zhaojia Village eight days later.

When he returned to Zhaojia Village, Chun Tao knocked on Uncle Xing's door again, wanting him to make a few more jars, but this time, Uncle Xing was unwilling.

"Don't do it, don't do it, how many times have I said it, if you don't do it, you don't do it." Uncle Xing sat in the yard, crossed his legs, smoking a dry cigarette, and looked at Chun Tao impatiently.

"For... Why? Chun Tao let them go back in March first, and Zhou Kuiruo also went back, leaving Chun Tao alone here to entangle with Uncle Xing.

"That's when I saw this weird thing, and I tried to do it. Now that I've done it, I don't want to do it. What's more, you still make me do so much, how tiring it is! Now that you know why, let's go! Uncle Xing smoked a cigarette and issued another eviction order.

"But... But I'll give... Give money. ”

When Uncle Xing heard this, he was not happy. Stopped smoking and squinted at Chun Tao. "What do you mean? Do you think I'm a money-greedy person, deliberately doing this, so that you can give more money? ”

"I'll tell you, I'm not going to do it." The cigarette stick slapped on the table and yelled at Chun Tao. "No matter how much money you give me, I won't do it, get out, get out, get out."

Chun Tao was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and staggered out of the door of the torturer's house.

"Cut! Ant-sized guts, dare to say me. Uncle Xing stood up, looked at Chun Tao's panicked back, snorted coldly, closed the door and went back to the room.

"Chun Tao, what's wrong?" Chun Tao just left the criminal family when she ran into the mother and son of the Zhou family, and Aunt Zhou saw Chun Tao's panicked appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand.

Chun Tao took out her hand, straightened her hair that was not messed up at all, and looked at Zhou Kuiruo. "No... It's okay. ”

"Mother, it's okay, you wait here for a while, I'll talk to Chun Tao."

"Hey! Good. Aunt Zhou felt that Chun Tao was a little resistant to her touch, suppressed the loss in her heart and smiled slightly, and watched the two walk away.

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to have offended Uncle Xing by speaking, are there other people nearby who specialize in clay pottery?"

"There is one in the next village, but I don't know what the technology is. However, it is about ten miles away from Zhaojia Village, and if you want to make a lot of jars, I am afraid it is not easy to transport. ”

Chun Tao frowned slightly, carefully calculating in her mind.

"So, let me tell you, he seems to have a good impression of me." Zhou Kuiruo's words attracted Chun Tao's surprised gaze.

"Ahem! What do you mean by looking at me like that? ”

Chun Tao realized that she was a little rude, withdrew her gaze, and lowered her head in embarrassment. "No... It's nothing. That... I'm sorry for you. ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Kuiruo was also not very comfortable, taught Aunt Zhou to Chun Tao, and went to find Uncle Xing alone. Chun Tao went home with Aunt Zhou and had dinner.

"How?" Zhou Kuiruo came back very late, and Chun Tao heard the sound of the door opening and rubbed her eyes in a daze.

Zhou Kuiruo took the cup handed by Chun Tao, took a sip, and sat in the seat that Chun Tao had given up. "Uncle Xing agreed, but there are ten big jars, where are you going to put them? We can't put it down at all! ”

"I told March to let her go. There is a place in her backyard where the sun does not shine, and there is nothing to grow, so I told March that I will rent this land then. Then, just find someone to build a thatched house. ”

"Do you have any silver now? Renting land and building a thatched house can cost a lot of money. Zhou Kuiruo asked the key point as soon as he asked.

"I'm going to give it later." Chun Tao touched her neck, left the position of the desk, and walked to the bed.

"I owe so much favor, and I will have to pay it back one day." Zhou Kuiruo said this half-sarcastically and half-seriously, and then asked, "Then did you tell Zhao Orion?" ”

"Not yet."

"It's better to discuss this kind of thing with your family, so that I won't go to the county tomorrow. I'll go directly to Zhao Orion and discuss it with him, you... How much money do you have now? ”

"No... There is no money. Tomorrow there should be money, though. ”

Zhou Kuiruo sighed slightly and said, "The matter of building a thatched house will be put on hold for a while, but the old carpenter's side should be done, and you should prepare the money first." ”

"Hmm!" Chun Tao calculated in her heart, after getting the money tomorrow, she could give the old carpenter the rest of the money.

"What is this?" When Zhou Kuiruo looked down at the table, he inadvertently saw the "Three Character Classic" copied by Chun Tao.

"Don't move." Chun Tao rushed over and protected the book in her arms.

Zhou Kuiruo was frightened by Chun Tao's excessive behavior, and looked at her with a slight frown. "Isn't it just the "Three Character Classic"? Why can't you move? Is it possible? What shady things have you written? ”

"No, it's not. I'm afraid... I'm afraid you will say that what I wrote is ugly. ”

"You don't think you care about that, do you?" Chun Tao's casual excuse was immediately recognized.

"It's too late, it's time to sleep." Chun Tao didn't explain either, and directly diverted the topic. Lying on the bed with the notebook, it was obvious that he would not let Zhou Kuiruo move.

The more Chun Tao didn't want Zhou Kuiruo to see it, the more he wanted to see it. But tonight he won't be able to see it, but tomorrow there will be a chance. Thinking of this, Zhou Kuiruo raised his eyebrows and smiled, and extinguished the candle.

"Strange, why not." After Zhou Kuiruo helped Chun Tao carry things into the car, he went into the house to find the "Three Character Classic".

Aunt Zhou passed by the room and found that the door was not closed, so she pushed the door and came in. "Quill."

As soon as Zhou Kuiruo heard the voice, he thought it was Chun Tao who had turned back, straightened up suddenly, quickly turned around and stared at the door, and was relieved when he found that it was Aunt Zhou.

When Aunt Zhou saw Zhou Kuiruo's appearance, she couldn't help laughing. "What are you doing here? Be a thief. ”

"No, I'm looking for something, looking for books."

"If you can't find it, look for it when you come back. Don't you still have something to find Zhao Orion? Don't go too late, wait for everyone to leave. ”

"Hmmm! Good. After Zhou Kuiruo saw Aunt Zhou enter the house, he closed the door. I searched around the house again, but there was still no sign of the book.

"You won't take it away, will you?" Zhou Kuiruo thought well, Chun Tao really brought the book into the county seat.

couldn't find the book, Zhou Kuiruo didn't dare to delay any longer, said to Aunt Zhou, and walked to March's house.

When he arrived at March's house, March's father was packing his things and seemed to be ready to go out. "Uncle Zhao."

"Quiro is here? You want to rent a backyard, I told you yesterday March. ”

Zhou Kuiruo smiled and nodded, listening to March Daddy. "I don't have much use for this land, so I raise chickens. Your aunt and I mean we don't want your rent. ”

Zhou Kui wanted to speak, but was stopped by March Daddy's hand. "But I know you won't want to, so what! You will give less of this rent. If it's too much, we won't take it, and if you insist on giving so much, we won't rent it. ”

Zhou Kuiruo remembered what Chun Tao had explained, this thing must be placed at March's house to be safe, and no other place will work. So he didn't shirk and just asked, "That... What does Uncle Zhao mean, how much should this rent be? ”

March Dad said the rent slowly, which surprised Zhou Kuiruo.
