"Then you won't tell your sister-in-law, there is only one man in your family, Qiao Erjing, and your mother doesn't expect Erjing, but also your sister-in-law to work in the field? Your mother is not stupid, who can work, who is worthy of relying on her to be better than you, she can handle you and your sister-in-law, that is, to understand the two of you, let your sister-in-law go tomorrow, and arrange your second sister-in-law to your house the day after tomorrow, if there is still work in the back, let your second brother, me, and a few children go to help! Sun pulled the bench and sat down.

Qin Lan said angrily: "Mother, my mother's affairs are my mother's decision, I can't speak, just let the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law go, what can you, the second brother, and the children do?" ”

"Why can't you do it? You go back and ask your mother to give me something to do, and I will also go to your dinner to earn money! Sun commanded.

Qin Lan pursed her lips: "......"

She won't let them go!

"Well, do you hear me talking? Let your mother arrange something for me and the children! Dead girl, you ......" Sun wanted to scold again, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by a voice.

"Mother!" Qiao Erjing said with a displeased face: "If you want to find a job, you can find my mother in person and say, don't embarrass Xiaolan." ”

Qin He squatted at the door of the hall and sighed: "The water spilled by the married daughter, find some work for the mother's family and ask the father and mother to beg in person, I have never seen such an unfilial daughter, hum!" ”

Qin Lan and Qiao Erjing felt that they couldn't stay any longer, they had already finished what they should say, and they didn't want to say anything to their father, who was not reasonable at all.

"Mother, you want to go to my house to work, you go to my mother and tell me to go, I and Erjing will leave first!" Qin Lan looked at Liang Xia and Liu Mei: "Sister-in-law, don't forget tomorrow?" ”

Liang Xia nodded.

Liu Mei didn't say anything, smiled, and got up to send the two of them.

When he came to the gate of the courtyard, the second brother Qin Hu was picking wild vegetables, and when he saw Qin Lan and Qiao Erjing leaving, he asked with a smile: "Do you want to leave?" ”

Qin Lan snorted: "Second brother, you are busy!" ”

"Hmm...... Okay, come often! Qin Hu sent Qin Lan and the two to the gate of the courtyard.

Sun scolded and scolded in the back: "Dead hooves, it's getting worse and worse, and you're throwing your face at me!" I'll go see your mother tomorrow and see if your mother dares to make something happen to me, hum! ”

Liang Xia and Liu Mei: "......"

……

The next day, Xiao Qing took Qiao Hong and Qiao Erjing into the deep mountains together, and needed to pull out the remaining mung bean rhizomes, and then turn the soil down.

The three of them worked all morning and only cleared more than two acres of land.

Qiao Erjing saw nearly twenty acres of land, there was still water in the soil, thinking that such a fertile land, how many years had not seen it, his heart was very happy, admiring his mother to find such a good place, no wonder he could grow so much gratifying food.

Xiao Qing said dryly: "When the business in the county town stabilizes, you look at the shop, I will go to the mountains to find a water source, and I must grow more mung beans and peas, there are so many places in this deep mountain, it is a pity that it is empty." ”

Qiao Erjing is an authentic farmer, thinking that they will have so much land in the future, he couldn't help but say with joy on his face: "Mother, when the time comes, I will come with you to plant, how much fertile soil there is on the mountain, we can reclaim as much land." ”

The three of them worked for another half an hour, and then hurried home.

Today, I'm going to the county to deliver dogwood noodles, and by the way, I'll help Qiao Hong inquire about entering a private school and entering a college.

Last night, Qiao Hong was lying on the bed sighing and tossing and turning, Xiao Qing knew that he wanted to enter the academy, but he couldn't sleep.

The child didn't say anything in his heart, he didn't want to cause trouble to the family, since he didn't want to say it, she didn't ask much, all she could do was help him.

Xiao Qing didn't want to go to Shizi for help, she went to find it, and Shizi was definitely willing to help, but Shizi's purpose was too obvious, in addition to business dealings, it was better to have less to do with him.

After Xiao Qing delivered the dogwood noodles, she asked Zhou Chuan about several private schools in the county, and she planned to ask later.

There are about four or five private schools in the county, and the best private school is the Guiguzi private school supported by the Chi family, and most of the students of Yaoshan Academy enter from here.

Xiao Qing wanted to go here, but to enter this private school, she needed to be approved by the master of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Qing immediately gave up, didn't she let her go to Chi Yan? Think about it or forget it.

So she looked for the best second private school in Yaoshan County, Qianmo Private School.

Although this room is not as famous as Guiguzi, in the past ten years, there have also been seven or eight talents.

Zhou Chuan heard that Xiao Qing was looking for a private school in order to send his son in, so he took her to find it himself.

Xiao Qing refused again and again, but Zhou Chuan insisted, saying that he was afraid that she would go alone, and the private school felt that she didn't pay attention to it and didn't let her in.

Zhou Chuan in the carriage saw that Xiao Qing was worried, and he persuaded: "If the gentlemen ask Brother Hong to live in the county, you don't have to worry, although I don't have as many houses in Yaoshan County as the Hou Mansion, I still have a place to live, and my family has two idle houses, so you can let him live in my house first, and then move back when your family's business is stable and the new house can be moved in." ”

"If you trouble you so much, it will cause inconvenience to your family, and the shopkeeper will be angry!" Xiao Qing excused.

Zhou Chuan smiled heartily: "Shopkeeper Xiao doesn't know, Zhou has been single since he came to Yaoshan, and now he has been single for a few years, Neiko died of dystocia in her early years, and the child and Neiko died together, a few years, I miss it so far!" ”

Xiao Qing hurriedly said apologetically: "Oh, it's time for me to talk about your sadness." ”

Zhou Chuan laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's over, let it go." ”

While the two were talking, the carriage came to the Qianmo private school.

"Shopkeeper, it's here!" The little guy who was driving the carriage outside.

Zhou Chuan made a gesture of please: "Shopkeeper Xiao, please!" ”

Xiao Qing jumped out of the carriage.

The two came to the door of the private school, and the sound of reading and teaching came out.

"Shopkeeper, I'll report it first." Mafu said.

Zhou Chuan hummed.

In the middle of the night, an old man with a silver beard and silver hair and a kind face walked out of it.

Xiao Qing hurriedly walked up to salute: "Hello Master!" ”

Zhou Chuan looked at Xiao Qing's salute, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The old man saw that the two of them were dressed, and then saw the carriage behind them, and made a gesture of please.

"Well, come in and talk about it!" The old man said.

The three of them sat in the outer hall of the Qianmo private school, facing each other.

The old man invited the two of them to drink tea, and asked with a smile: "The two of you are here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Xiao Qing glanced at Zhou Chuan with a smile and said: "Master, it's me, my family's business, it's such a master, I have a son, who is almost fourteen years old this year, and has studied since he was a child, but in these drought years, he has no chance to continue reading, and he has run aground, and now he wants to come to the private school to study again, and I want to ask the master, is the Qianmo private school willing to accept it?" ”

When the old man heard that he was going to school halfway, he was still fourteen years old, and he had not yet attended a private school, so he was immediately reluctant in his heart.
