MTL - Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman-Chapter 11 squat
Seeing Zhou Cheng go out, Pei Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and touched the back of his head, hoping that the wound would heal more slowly. She stood up and took out the two clothes she made in the afternoon. She made it for Zhou Shan first. The child didn't even have any decent clothes, so she made two clothes for him first.
Called Zhou Shan in, took the clothes and gestured on him. Although he is the same age as Wood, he is half a head shorter than Wood, and the clothes of Wood are slightly larger for him. Ask him to put on new clothes. He is still reluctant to wear such good clothes and keeps touching them. This is the first time he wears such good clothes since he can remember. Several children looked at Zhou Shan with envy, and touched him with their hands.
Pei Xiu patted their hands off one by one,'' Don't be envious, you all have them tomorrow, Zhou Shan just came to our house, and he didn't have any clothes to change, so my mother made it for him first. ''
Seeing Mu Duo's reluctance to take off his clothes, Pei Xiu said, "No need to take it off, let's wear it, Mu Mu's clothes will be bigger if you wear them. This one fits just right. I'll make two padded jackets by myself later. . ''
He sent a few children to play, folded Zhou Shan's clothes for him to put away, Pei Xiu cleaned the room inside and out, resisted taking the quilt down, and told himself that the general would only build it for two nights. A new one will be available soon.
She called a few children back to sleep, and Pei Xiu also went back to her room to sleep. Today, she had been walking for a long time, and she had been busy for so long. She was also exhausted. I thought I wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but I fell asleep on the pillow.
When Zhou Cheng came back, he went to the children's room to take a look, and put a quilt on them. When he returned to the room, he saw that Pei Xiu had fallen asleep, facing the wall, curled up there. He also went to bed and lay on the side.
It was just dawn when Zhou Chengcheng woke up and saw that Pei Xiu had been curled up and slept all night. .
After washing up, he went to wake up a few children, he underestimated their sleeping skills, and slept in a mess! No response whatsoever! I just took them out one by one, and finally woke them up. They were about to be interrupted by Zhou Cheng, ''Don't disturb your mother's sleep, do you still want to eat meat today? ''
Except that the smallest bench was not brought out, Zhou Shan accepted it and stood obediently. The hammer and the wood were wronged, and the three stood in a row. Zhou Cheng ignored them, took out his stick, and played the stick again. The three children who saw them had bright eyes and looked at him with admiration. They didn't even know that their father (uncle) was so powerful.
''Do you want to learn?'' Zhou Cheng asked after collecting his stick.
The three of them nodded wildly,'' thinking. ''
''If you want to learn, start with Zamabu first, you can't give up halfway, get up on time every day at this time. '' Zhou Cheng said to them sternly.
When Pei Xiu woke up, she saw three radish heads in the yard, gnashing their teeth and squatting with trembling legs. Zhou Cheng was sitting on the steps of the main room holding wood and cutting. Curiously asked: ''How long have they squatted, don't squat for too long on the first day, it will scare them. ''
Zhou Cheng glanced at Pei Xiu and said to the three children: ''Rest now, that's all for today. ''
All of a sudden, all three of them sat down on the ground while mourning ceaselessly. ''Mother, you are our savior. ''
Zhou Chengyan threw the knife at once. The frightened hammer quickly shut up.
Pei Xiu burst out laughing, ''Don't be sloppy, or you will ask your father to double up tomorrow. ''
Zhou Cheng looked at Pei Xiu's smiling face, his expression softened unconsciously.
Seeing that the sun wasn't very bright, Pei Xiu gathered up the dirty clothes and washed them by the river. When she arrived, there was no place by the river.
'' Zhou Cheng's wife came here, I've finished washing, this place will be washed for you. ’’ It was Aunt Orchid from the village chief’s family who spoke.
''Thank you auntie, I recently got a head injury, it hurts so badly, I got up late. ''
''Thank you, I have finished washing, you should rest more if you are injured, it is not too late. Now the weather is not hot, and it is okay to not take a bath or change clothes for a few days. ''
Pei Xiu replied vaguely. She didn't know how to answer. It was still autumn and winter was not yet. Two days without bathing was enough. She also knows that her personal habits are different, and there is no way to communicate this, so I won't say much.
''Daughter-in-law Zhou Cheng, what did you buy yesterday, and you came back with a cart full of them, and everyone in the village said that your family, Zhou Cheng, made a fortune. ’’ The big girls and the little daughters-in-law around them all had their ears pricked up.
''My aunt was joking...'' Pei Xiu told everyone what she said to her sister-in-law yesterday. I have also explained Zhou Shan's origin, and he will always be asked. If Zhou Shan wants to live here all the time, he also needs to say hello to everyone in advance, Daoming's origin.
''Zhou Cheng is a conscientious, affectionate and righteous man. You have been too frugal these years. If you add one or two pieces every year, how can several children have a decent dress? You look so handsome, and you don't know how to make two clothes, so you can take advantage of your youth. ''
Pei Xiu smiled embarrassedly. Everyone quickly turned their attention to her and said something else. Pei Xiu also pricked up her ears to listen to other people's gossip.
Everyone, you said what I said,'' I heard that Master Zhou plans to return to his hometown to retire, and has already sent his eldest son back to repair the yard. ''
Pei Xiu's heart moved, and she listened to everyone again. ’’ I heard that Master Zhou was invited by the King of Liaodong to teach the son to study for ten years. He was planning to return to his hometown for retirement. ''
''If you want me to say, Master Zhou might as well stay at the noble man's house. The noble man is so rich that he will definitely take care of Master Zhou's old age, so why go back to our rural place. ''
''Who says it's not, but when people are old, they want to go back to their hometown to have a look. There is a saying that the golden den and the silver den are not as good as one's own dog kennel. ''
Pei Xiu hurriedly inquired about Aunt Orchid next to her. She had never seen this master since she had been married for so long.
It turned out that this Master Zhou was a master of the Juren in this village. He was awarded the Juren at the age of 20, and he was still ranked high. As a result, on the way to Beijing, he received a letter from his father's death, so he could only give up and rush back. For another three years, I had a fever before the scientific examination, and I missed the time to enter the examination room in a drowsy state. Three years later, he encountered bandits on the way to Shangjing, and he lost all his entanglements. He even injured his foot. He had no money to treat him, and the opportunity for treatment was delayed, and he became lame. From then on, he could no longer take scientific examinations, so he was disheartened and went to Fucheng with his mother, wife and children. Open schools, teach students, and make a living. Later, he was invited by the King of Liaodong.
Pei Xiu pondered in her heart that there was no school nearby, and she didn't know if Master Zhou would set up a school in the village. After all, he has taught the prince of the palace, and his knowledge and vision must be enough, but he just doesn't know what his character is like and whether he will teach in this rural area.
