Chun Tao saw that Sheng Guo'er didn't speak, so she smiled and said, "Aren't you the smartest Guo'er?" Why can't you speak now? ”

Ma Chunhua chirped: "Chun Tao, you don't have to sell cheaply, if it weren't for the fruit, your family would have spare money, and you would still have the leisure time to play here?" ”

Chun Tao laughed, she also felt that she was talking a little too much, but Sheng Guo'er said: "Chunhua, I am doing this to give back to the villagers for taking care of my family, Chun Tao is just joking, I won't worry about her." ”

Chun Tao took Sheng Guo'er's hand and said, "That's it, Chunhua, you are careful!" ”

Ma Chunhua glanced at Chun Tao and said, "Hmph, I don't know who loves to be public!" ”

Sheng Guo'er smiled: "Okay, okay, they've finished eating, let's go over and clean up." ”

The girls were bouncing over to pack their things.

When Sheng Guo'er came to the table, it happened that Meng Xingzhou also came to deliver the dishes and chopsticks.

"Are the pancakes delicious?" Sheng Guo'er asked with drooping eyes as she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Pancakes? Delicious and delicious. Meng Xingzhou was actually really embarrassed, and he was also very annoyed that this big coarse porcelain bowl was left every time, and this pancake was as hard as a stone.

But Meng Xingzhou felt that Sheng Guo'er asked like this, and he was sure that she made this pancake, so Meng Xingzhou didn't want to hurt Sheng Guo'er's self-esteem, so he lied. Then he handed the large coarse porcelain bowl to Sheng Guo'er.

When Sheng Guo'er heard this, she raised her head and made a straight face, glanced at Meng Xingzhou, paused, and then snatched the big coarse porcelain bowl from Meng Xingzhou's hand and said, "I really have a good stomach!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Meng Xingzhou was wondering, wondering why he was still unhappy, and at this moment, Chun Tao walked up to Meng Xingzhou shyly and said, "Meng, Mr. Meng, I, I'll take my bowl, you're so good, you like the pancakes I make!" ”

After saying this, Chun Tao's cheeks instantly dyed a touch of red.

"You said you made the pancakes?" Meng Xingzhou suddenly realized, his heart was broken!

Looking at Meng Xingzhou's unhappy look, Chun Tao was also stunned and asked; "Sir, am I wrong in what I said?"

Meng Xingzhou waved his hand and said, "No, let Miss Sheng take your bowl." ”

After finishing speaking, Meng Xingzhou hurriedly ran in the direction of Sheng Guo'er.

Sheng Guo'er was a little awkward along the way, not angry, or a little awkward.

Pancakes, what is delicious about pancakes, I made all the meals for Song Shilang to eat, this blind box is really a little aggrieved!

Sheng Guo'er muttered as she walked home. And at this moment, Meng Xingzhou's voice suddenly came from behind her: "Miss Sheng, please stay!" ”

Sheng Guo'er stopped and turned around, the sun shining on her pretty figure, leaving a trace of shadow on the mountain path full of yellow flowers.

Meng Xingzhou ran to Sheng Guo'er and said, "Miss Sheng, I'm sorry. ”

Sheng Guo'er said suspiciously: "Why are you apologizing to me?" ”

Meng Xingzhou took a breath and said, "I thought that the pancake was made by you just now, so I didn't want to hurt you, so I lied." ”

Sheng Guo'er smiled in her heart, but said with a straight face on her face: "You are still a gentleman, don't you know if you can't talk nonsense?" ”

Meng Xingzhou said with a guilty face: "I'm really ashamed, my intentions are good." ”

Sheng Guo'er put down her things, hugged her arms and asked, "Okay, Mr. Meng, then let me ask you again, are the pancakes delicious?" ”

Meng Xingzhou shook his head and said, "I can't say it's unpalatable, and I can't say it's delicious, it's just very hard and toothy!" ”

Sheng Guo'er burst out laughing and said, "Then will you still eat it in the future?" ”

Meng Xingzhou said: "Actually, I don't want to eat it either, but it's strange that it's left in the end every time!" ”

Sheng Guo'er said with a smile: "Idiot, that's because everyone else knows the craftsmanship of Chun Tao, and they also know her bowl, people don't know your preferences, they see you go to eat every day, and they think your taste is not ordinary!" ”

Meng Xingzhou also laughed after hearing this: "No wonder Song Shilang said that I have a good tooth, the people in the city are really not ordinary, I really had a bitterness at that time and couldn't say it!" ”

After saying that, they both laughed.

"Next time you make a mark, I'll eat what you cooked!" Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guo'er sincerely and said, "To be honest, I really want to taste it." ”

Sheng Guo'er squatted on the ground, took out his own blue and white porcelain bowl, then stood up and stretched out in front of Meng Xingzhou and said, "Oh, this is my bowl, you have to always remember this big bowl, you won't be mistaken." ”

Meng Xingzhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I remember." ”

Sheng Guo'er said: "Also, don't be too honest, sometimes you should be humble and humble, and take the initiative when you should take the initiative, you are a gentleman, why do you still let people pick it first." Next time, you just pick first, and others won't say anything about you! ”

Meng Xingzhou said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Sheng Guo'er didn't expect Meng Xingzhou to be so obedient to his words, and he was a little happy in his heart, so he said: "Go back quickly, you have to continue to work later." ”

Meng Xingzhou said: "By the way, I won't go back to work first, I have to go to the township, I made an appointment with the township to learn politics." ”

Sheng Guo'er asked: "Xuezheng, I heard Sheng Shi talk about it, is it the official who manages the private school and academic examinations in the township?" ”

Meng Xingzhou nodded and said, "That's right, I'm going to ask him to get a certificate for Dongxiang Village!" ”

The certificate of study is a unique qualification certificate of the Dasheng Dynasty, and it is the certificate of the village, township, and prefecture to run private schools.

After listening to Meng Xingzhou's explanation, Sheng Guo'er asked a little tentatively: "Do you mean that you plan to be here for a long time in the future?" ”

Meng Xingzhou asked rhetorically: "Do you want me to be here for a long time?" ”

Sheng Guo'er turned her face and said, "Who is rare, I can't care about your business." ”

Meng Xingzhou smiled, picked up the things on the ground and said, "Let's go, I'll go back with you." ”

Sheng Guo'er looked at Meng Xingzhou with a smile on his face and said, "If you want to follow, follow behind!" ”

After finishing speaking, the two walked like this one after the other, and slowly, the shadows on the road gradually paralleled and gradually merged into one.

When she got home, Sheng Guoer packed up her things, changed into good-looking clothes and went out.

Meng Xingzhou changed into Confucian clothes, and as soon as he went out, he saw Sheng Guo'er raise the curtain of the car, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng? ”

This smile was like the warm sun in winter, sprinkled in Meng Xingzhou's heart.

"Mr. Meng, I'm going to the township to find my cousin, let's go together!"

Meng Xingzhou nodded and got into the carriage. Tie Niu glanced at Meng Xingzhou blankly, and muttered: "You're really welcome!" ”

Then the iron bull whipped violently, and the horse was in pain, and flew forward.

"Sheng Shi is studying at home, if you don't go to a private school, will the mountain chief be unhappy?" On the carriage, Sheng Guo'er asked with some concern.

Meng Xingzhou said: "Actually, Xuezheng has always wanted me to manage the studies of Dongxiang Village and Xifeng Village, but I didn't want to be an official at that time, I just wanted to be a teacher. But today I changed my mind. ”

Sheng Guo'er asked with some apprehension in her heart, "Why did you change your mind?" ”

Meng Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I am also tired of teaching the children of bureaucrats, I feel that they are not very serious about studying, and their families have paved the way for them, just like that person like Zhong Zipan There are many people in the Xuanzi Department and the Tianzi Department." ”

Then, Meng Xingzhou took out the waist card of Hanlin Private School and said, "This is not what I want to teach and educate people. I want to teach people who are really capable, not famous. ”

Sheng Guo'er looked at Meng Xingzhou and felt that he was quite ambitious.

Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guo'er with a smile and said, "So I want to open a private school in Dongxiang Village, and take charge of the school administration in Dongxiang Village and Xifeng Village." As for the mountain chief, I have taught him a lot of excellent children in the past few years, and I think it's time to leave. ”

Sheng Guo'er nodded and said, "Your idea can help many poor people, I support you!" ”

Meng Xingzhou said with a smile: "Actually, it was also influenced by you, if it weren't for your generous statement in front of Mrs. Mountain Chief, maybe I wouldn't have made up my mind so quickly." ”

Sheng Guo'er pursed her lips and smiled silently.

The carriage swayed along, and the two men talked more.

"You've been a soldier, and to be honest, I was surprised when I heard that." Sheng Guo'er smiled and said, "I was also a little surprised by your various performances after that. ”

Meng Xingzhou actually didn't want to talk too much about his past with Sheng Guo'er, so he said: "Isn't it that I give you the feeling that you are a weak scholar?" How so? ”

Sheng Guo'er laughed in her heart: "What a straight man, is the chat so serious?" ”

Sheng Guo'er shook her head and said, "No! ”

Then, Sheng Guoer looked out the car window, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Meng Xingzhou coughed, and suddenly saw a bush of small flowers outside, so he shouted, "Brother Tieniu, stop." ”

Tie Niu stopped the carriage, frowned and said, "Mr. Meng, what are you doing!" ”

Meng Xingzhou jumped out of the carriage, came to these little flowers, picked a handful and turned around to get into the car.

"Are you going to send me flowers?" Looking at this handful of fresh flowers, Sheng Guo'er, who has loved flowers since childhood, was in a good mood instantly.

"Well, you can take these flowers back and boil some to drink!" Meng Xingzhou smiled and said seriously: "This is honeysuckle, good for your throat, have you had a dry throat recently?" ”

Meng Xingzhou's meticulous observation surprised Sheng Guo'er, and she asked, "How do you know?" ”

Meng Xingzhou said: "I know a little about medical skills, the so-called false fire..."

Sheng Guo'er made a stop gesture and said, "Okay, okay, I know, I'll take it back and take it, thank you, Mr. Meng!" ”

Looking at Sheng Guo'er's expression, Meng Xingzhou had no choice but to say, "Okay, that's good!" ”

Sheng Guo'er thought to herself, this guy is careful and gentle, but he can talk to death about Tian'er, and he can be regarded as a character!

When he arrived in the township, Meng Xingzhou went to handle everything, although the mountain chief was reluctant, but Meng Xingzhou was a chess player and carried out the order of the township school administration, and the mountain chief could only obey.

Sheng Guo'er went to the second uncle's house, brought some mountain goods to the second uncle, and agreed with Yumei to go to the mountains to pick camellia in the spring of the next year and do milk tea business together.

After Sheng Guo'er went to the mining area again, Qiao Yuanshan said that there had been a few snowfalls in the mountains recently, and the merchants and travelers almost stopped walking, so Sheng Guo'er removed all the work of the lunch business, leaving only some people to cook for the people in the military camp and the mining area. The head of the martial arts sect also gave Sheng Guo'er a token, telling her to come to him with the token if something happened.

Sheng Guoer was very grateful to these two, so she agreed to spend the New Year together at Sheng Guoer's house during the New Year.

The elder brother of the martial arts sect is worried about being lonely and lonely every year, Qiao Yuanshan is also a bachelor, and the two of them are very happy, saying that they must go to Guo'er's house for the New Year with generous gifts.

According to common sense, Chinese New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion, but there are only a few people in the old Sheng family in Xifeng Village, Xiangli and Dongxiang Village, and the old aunt still has to go to the in-laws family of Jinlong Mansion to celebrate the New Year, and the second uncle has to accompany the second aunt back to her mother's house on the second day of the new year, so it is too late to go back and forth, so Sheng Guoer decided to invite these two friends to gather at home.

She also thought about inviting Meng Xingzhou, but she was not as happy as inviting the head of the martial arts sect and Qiao Yuanshan, and even Sheng Guo'er herself felt strange.

Just a friend.

Sheng Guo'er also looked at Meng Xingzhou on the way back and thought, "Does he have a family?" What if his family wants him back? ”

So Sheng Guo'er asked tentatively: "Mr. Meng, will you go home during the Chinese New Year?" ”

As soon as he heard that he was going home, Meng Xingzhou's face sank suddenly.
