Cheng Zi'an held back a wave of joy and didn't dare to show it.

He is not a pure child, and his basic way of thinking has long been set and is difficult to change.

For example, he does not have the lofty ideals of worrying about the country and the people, and his requirements for himself are already very good.

In other words, he believes that life is full of accidents, ebb and flow, and no one knows which wave hides danger.

It's like his previous life, he was about to inherit the family's mine and become a rich third ancestor. But because of a traffic accident, he came to Da Zhou and became a small seedling in the feudal period.

Cheng Zi'an thinks that he faces it very well, at least he is not noisy or noisy, he is as humane as before, and he can help the weak as much as he can. didn't think that he relied on his three-legged cat's kung fu to overthrow the unfair court and save the world.

Cheng Zhen doesn't care about him, he won't be crooked, he will only live a happier life.

When she got home, Cui Suniang greeted her as usual and asked Cheng Zi'an about the exam.

Cheng Zhen replied without saltiness, Cui Suniang was surprised, but her expression was only gloomy, and when she saw that they were all sweating, she beckoned them to wash up and prepare for dinner.

After the meal, Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang, as usual, walked hand in hand to eliminate food, and ignored Cheng Zi'an, who was spread out in the chairs under the eaves of the porch, full of laziness.

There are many insects and ants in the yard, Cui Suniang felt sorry for Cheng Zi'an being bitten, and wanted to go to Zhang Luo to light rue incense: "Look at you, you are not afraid of being bitten out of pimples." ”

Cheng Zhen grabbed her, lifted his eyelids towards Cheng Zi'an, and said, "Leave him alone, let's go by ourselves." ”

Cui Suniang was stunned, Cheng Zhen grabbed her hand tightly, pulled her up and walked out of the hospital.

Cheng Zi'an was a little confused, Cheng Zhen didn't even care about his body?

In the summer, the flowers and plants in the yard are verdant, and the mosquitoes are like an appointment, and they pounce on Cheng Zi'an's delicious meat. It's okay to suck a mouthful of blood, the most unbearable thing is the buzzing, which makes people irritable.

Cheng Zi'an saw Aunt Qin coming out of the stove, and hurriedly shouted, "Aunt Qin, please help me order the grass to repel mosquitoes." ”

Aunt Qin was busy, went to get a rue charcoal basin and walked over, and said with a smile: "Why didn't the young master go for a walk with the old lady to eat?" Just after eating, don't sit still and carefully accumulate food. ”

The unique smell of rue fragrance dispersed, and the nasty buzzing gradually decreased, Cheng Zi'an sighed with satisfaction, and said: "After eating a full meal, take a walk to eat, and after a while, your stomach will be empty, and the previous meal will be eaten in vain." ”

Aunt Qin was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Young Master's words, it sounds like there is some truth. My family used to be poor and never had enough to eat. Those who can accumulate food are nobles. ”

To put it simply, taking a walk after a meal to consume food is to be full.

Aunt Qin and Lao Zhang Qingchuan Yunduo are a few people, they can eat enough in the Cheng family, but they have to be busy after the meal, so they naturally eat away.

People have to learn to be content and be consistent with themselves. Cheng Zi'an didn't complain about his current life at all. He can eat, he can choose to lie down, or he can choose the eating activities that only nobles have.

Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang came back from a walk, and when they saw the rue incense placed next to Cheng Zi'an, their faces darkened, he didn't say anything, and went back to the study to study.

Cheng Zi'an came sleepy, and went back to the house to sleep after washing. As for the homework assigned by the gentleman, he reviewed the "Thousand Character Text", and he could recognize all the big characters on it, and made up for the words that lacked arms and legs. This is enough for him later in life.

The next morning, in a sweet sleep, Cheng Zi'an was woken up by Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Zhen: "Get up and follow Qingchuan and them to do things." ”

Cheng Zi'an hadn't come back to his senses yet, and asked in a dumb voice, "What?" ”

Cheng Zhen repeated it again, Cheng Zi'an heard it clearly this time, sat up from the bed, and said in surprise: "I don't have to go to school anymore?" ”

"Think beautifully." Cheng Zhen sneered, "The children who go to school in the village are like this, they help the family do things first, and then go to school after they are done." ”

Cheng Zi'an understood that Cheng Zhen had given up on him, and he wanted to take the opportunity to clean him up!

Cheng Zhen grimaced and said sternly: "You have to procrastinate, if you can't finish it, wait until after school to do it." I didn't have to eat breakfast. ”

It doesn't hurt to do it after school, for Cheng Zi'an, being hungry is a big deal.

Cheng Zi'an jumped out of bed quickly, so that he could wash up and go out of the house, when the sky was just dawning and the sky was clear.

Lao Zhang and Qingchuan were waiting in the courtyard, while Cui Suniang wanted to speak and stopped standing aside.

Cheng Zhen took his hand and commanded majestically: "Old Zhang Qingchuan, you take him to cut the grass and feed the cattle." If he cheats, he will report it truthfully. ”

Old Zhang Qingchuan hurriedly responded, Qingchuan picked up the sickle and the small back basket, and Cheng Zhen spoke again: "Let him carry it himself." ”

Qingchuan hurriedly put the sickle into the small back basket and put it on the ground. Seeing this, Cheng Zi'an stepped forward silently and carried the small basket on his back.

Lao Zhang hurriedly saluted Cheng Zhen Cui Suniang, took Cheng Zi'an towards the livestock shed, and advised: "Young master, the master has ordered, I will go to herd the cattle, and you and Qingchuan will go to mow the grass together." The scythe is sharp, but you can't play around, and you hurt your hand carefully. ”

After thinking about it, he was particularly uneasy, and Lao Zhang emphasized to Qingchuan: "You hold the young master's sickle, wait for him to learn to use it first." ”

Qingchuan hurriedly took out the sickle from Cheng Zi'an's small back basket and said, "Young master, you learn first, don't worry." ”

Cheng Zi'an couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Lao Zhang and Qingchuan as if they were facing great enemies.

The two didn't dare to disobey Cheng Zhen's orders, and they didn't dare to really let him use a sickle. If they get hurt, they are always derelict in their duties.

Cheng Zi'an listened to their commands, he had never cut grass in his life, and he would not hurt himself recklessly, which added pressure to Lao Zhang Qingchuan and them.

Lao Zhang untied the cow rope and led him outside. In this era, ploughing cattle were precious, and it was illegal to slaughter them, and as for beef, it was a secret delicacy that only the powerful could taste.

Whoever has a cow has a good life. The Cheng family has two heads, and there are special people to serve them.

Cheng Zi'an felt very relieved, there were cattle and land, and Cheng Zhen was a lifter, who could be exempted from taxes on 100 acres of land, and could also be exempted from forced labor.

The morning air is intoxicatingly fresh, and the fields are already full of industrious people, busy pulling weeds and other weeds in the dew-covered rice fields.

There are children about the same age as Cheng Zi'an, following behind adults, digging wild vegetables and cutting pigweed. The little body went down to the field, and it was drowned in the green rice and disappeared.

There were children who were familiar with Cheng Zi'an, and when they saw him coming out with a basket on his back, they looked at him curiously.

Cheng Zi'an greeted them with a smile, and pointed to the back basket to take the initiative to solve the puzzle: "My father asked me to come out and mow the grass." Hey, Mo Zhuzi, you're so good, you're about to cut a basket full. ”

The child known as Mo Zhuzi remembered the snacks and zongzi salted duck eggs that Cheng Zi'an gave them last time, and when he heard his praise again, he was very enthusiastic about him, and without saying a word, he picked up the back basket and said, "Young Master Cheng, these are all for you, and I will cut them again." ”

Cheng Zi'an hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you." Keep yours first, I'll learn first, and when I need your help, I'm not polite. ”

Mo Zhuzi said loudly: "Okay, Young Master Cheng wants me to help, I will definitely help you." ”

Cheng Zi'an said goodbye to him with a smile, followed Qingchuan with a tangled expression, and went to a place where water and grass flourished.

Qingchuan squatted down, took the sickle and cut the grass neatly, and laboriously taught Zi'an by the way: "Young master, that's it, that's it." ”

Cheng Zi'an plucked the sweet grass root he ate last time, chewed it comfortably in his mouth, and kept humming to show that he knew.

Qingchuan saw that Cheng Zi Anguang couldn't move, and said in embarrassment: "Young master, this grass grows shallow, you can pull it out by hand." If I go back and the basket is empty, I won't be able to explain it to the master. ”

Cheng Zi'an spit out the grass roots, and according to Qingchuan's instructions, he went to pull up the grass.

Qingchuan was relieved when he saw that Cheng Zi'an was obedient. The two cows had to eat a lot of grass, and Qingchuan didn't care about him, so he bent down and quickly cut it.

Cutting a basket of grass, Qingchuan was worried that Cheng Zi'an still had to go to school, so he quickly stopped. When I turned my head, I saw that in Cheng Zi'an's small back basket, there was only a little grass at the bottom.

Qingchuan's eyebrows wrinkled into a line, and he said bitterly: "Young master, you only pulled out such a little grass, and you have to cut it after school." The evening was no hotter than it is now, and there are more insects and ants. ”

"Well, that's easy to say." Cheng Zi'an smiled and walked to Qingchuan's big back basket, bent down and picked up no more or less grass from it, and put it in his small back basket.

The grass is almost about one-third of the small back basket, and it will not be too much fake, and it will not be too little, so that Cheng Zhen has a reason to punish him.

Qingchuan was dumbfounded and stammered, "This ...... This ......"

Cheng Zi'an clapped his hands and squeezed his eyes at him calmly: "That's it." Qingchuan, if you don't say it, I won't say it, but God knows that you know and I know. ”

Qingchuan scratched his head, and he had no idea for a while, so he could only go back to Cheng Zi'an first.

Cheng Zhen glanced at Cheng Zi'an's small back basket, but didn't ask. The time to go to school was approaching, Cheng Zi'an went to wash and change his clothes, and went to the school after eating.

Who knows, the family was punished by Cheng Zhen as a coolie, and it was not safe to live when he went to school.

The next class was an arithmetic class, Cheng Zi'an and Zhang Qi were about to release the water, but Xin Jinian stopped him.

Xin Jinian raised his chin arrogantly, slanted at Cheng Zi'an from the corner of his eye, and said, "You will write the arithmetic homework for me in the future!" ”
