Chapter 21 Don't Study, Be His Servant
Lu Qingqian now has a lot of trust in Qin Yu, which is related to Qin Yu's strong affinity. As a volunteer teacher and a graduate of a prestigious university, he is very good at child psychology.
It is precisely because of the mastery of the children's psychology that the teacher can make the children obey and respect them. Some naughty children dare not listen to their parents and grandparents at home, but they dare not disobey their teachers, and they are pinched to death.
"You've only known him for a few days, and you trust a model so much? I see that your respect for him is almost catching up with me. Lu Dazhuang said in surprise. I don't think much of what my daughter just said that Qin Yu will help his family get rid of poverty: he is a teacher who can only teach handwriting, and he can help farmers get rid of poverty, so he knows how to farm?
And even if Qin Yu wants to help the people in the village, it will not be his turn Lu Dazhuang, Lu Dazhuang has only one daughter, who has no status in the village, and is often poked in the back and said that his family has broken the incense.
"He's a gentleman, can I not respect him?" However, Lu Qingqian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him trusting Qin Yu.
"You have a point." Lu Dazhuang said, "Girl, do you still have food at home?" ”
"There are still some wild vegetables, and there is no grain of rice left in the rice bowl at home." Lu Qingqian said, "Abba, you didn't hit the pheasant and hare today?" ”
"Nope. Those brutes are too cunning, and they are like people. Lu Dazhuang sighed, walked to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, picked up the bowl and swallowed all the wild vegetables in two bites.
A strong man ate only one bowl of wild vegetables at night.
He estimated that he could eat ten more bowls of rice, and it was better not to eat just now, but after eating, he felt even hungrier, and had no choice but to tighten his belt.
"Abba, here's this." Lu Dazhuang returned to the main room, only to see his daughter take out something from her pocket like a trick and give it to him. "What is it?" Lu Dazhuang took it and saw that it was a small square that looked like a pastry.
"It was given by Mr. Qin." Lu Qingqian said, "He said that this is called compressed biscuits. ”
"Compressed biscuits? Haven't heard of it. Lu Dazhuang said.
"Abba, eat it, this thing is hungry." Lu Qing said.
"Can such a small piece be hungry?" Lu Dazhuang smiled, threw it directly into his mouth and chewed it, feeling that it was very dry and difficult to swallow, and he drank a sip of water to swallow.
It didn't take long for a surprised expression to appear on his face, "Don't say, this thing is really hungry." ”
"It's so weird that I didn't feel hungry at all after I ate only a small piece of it. It's like eating several large bowls of sorghum noodles, but it's still the kind of fine sorghum noodles without wild vegetables. ”
"It's amazing!"
"Abba, you think it's amazing, don't you?" Lu Qingqian said happily, "I also thought so yesterday, Mr. Qin only gave me a piece and I ate it all day, and there was still a little left." He gave me that piece this morning, and I didn't want to eat it, so I left it for you. ”
"Girl, do you dare to ask for such a good thing? And if it's two? Lu Dazhuang's face changed, "This is disrespectful to Mr., have you forgotten how I usually taught you?" As the saying goes, starvation is a small thing, a big loss of moderation, and although our family is poor, we will never covet other people's things. ”
"Abba, it was Mr. Qin who forced it on me," Lu Qingqian defended, "I didn't want it originally, but Mr. said that if I didn't accept it, he wouldn't be able to repay you for saving your life, and he would think about it all day long and feel very uncomfortable, so I had to accept it." ”
"He's afraid you won't say that on purpose." Lu Dazhuang sighed, "It seems that Mr. Qin is really a good person!" A person's character can be seen from a small thing, and you are not wrong when you just said that he is kind and kind. Speaking of which, I just put some herbs on him, not his savior who sent him. We accepted such a good gift from him, but when he was seriously injured, we gave him wild vegetables every day with only a few grains of rice in the bowl, which is really a bit embarrassing to think about. ”
"But that's the best thing we can come up with." Lu Qing said.
"Mr. Qin is not only a good person, but also a master, this 'compressed biscuit' he gave you is not an ordinary thing, how can a small piece of ordinary things make you hungry for a day?" Lu Dazhuang said.
"Abba, you said Mr. Qin is a master?" Lu Qingqian's eyes widened.
"Quite possibly!" Lu Dazhuang said, "Girl, I can see that you have a good impression of Mr. Qin, and he is also very kind to people, I think he will definitely not treat you badly in the future." ”
"What kind of bad treatment is not bad," Lu Qingqian didn't understand, "Abba, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Mr. Qin is willing to stay in our Lujia Village to teach, that is the greatest kindness to the people in the village, and the people of Lujia Village should also treat him well, but we can't take out too much silver to ......," Lu Dazhuang said.
"Abba, you're right, if such a good person as Mr. Qin can't stay, it will indeed be the biggest loss for the village." Lu Qing said.
"You haven't understood what I mean, so I'll tell you clearly." Lu Dazhuang said, "Mr. Qin didn't bring his family to our village, and he came alone and didn't have anyone around to take care of his daily life. So I thought, why don't you just go to his side and be a personal attendant to serve him. I don't ask him to give you a monthly money every month, just give you food. ”
"Abba, you want me to be Mr.'s handmaid?" Lu Qingqian was stunned.
"Do you want to or what?" Lu Dazhuang said, "Girl, you are stupid, Mr. Qin is a scholar, if he doesn't teach in the future, he may still participate in the imperial examination, and he has a great future, and it seems to have something to do with the yamen in the county." If you can be a maid by his side, it will be a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life, what can you do if you stay in the village? ”
"Following Mr. Qin is your only chance to leave Lujia Village. And the most important thing is that Mr. Qin is a kind person, it is impossible to abuse you in the future, it is difficult to find such a master with a lantern. You don't know how miserable it is to be a girl in a big family, and some ruthless masters don't treat Yahuan as a human being at all. It is refreshing to be oppressed to death, and some are even worse than pigs and dogs. ”
"I ......" Lu Qingqian has not yet been able to appreciate the sinister nature of society because of his young age, and he doesn't want to be a human being.
According to her age, many girls have been sent out to big families to be maids. Some families will starve to death if they don't send them away because they can't afford to support them. Some are because the father is lazy and wants to sell his daughter for some money. Even many of the girls who were sent away were younger than her. Fortunately, Lu Dazhuang only has one daughter, otherwise her fate would probably be the same.
