letter of commitment

The dinner table was full of joy and harmony, and Mrs. Li kept booing and inquiring about the two of Shen and Mu, so enthusiastic.

"It's all from my family, don't be restrained, come and eat." Mrs. Li added food to Mu Chu with a smile, which made Mu Chu very embarrassed.

"Thank you, Mrs. Li, it's done."

Mu Chu looked at the dishes in the bowl that were already taller than the mountain, so he had to decline for a while, but Mrs. Li was not willing to, she pretended to be displeased after hearing her words and said:

"You child, you are skinny, so you should eat more. Although our food is not as good as yours in the city, it is all grown by ourselves, so you can rest assured." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li looked at the food with a dull head. Shen Qingshu, who was grilling the rice, said angrily: "You child, why do you only care about eating by yourself, and don't care about these two little girls."

"Cough cough."

Shen Qingshu, who originally thought that as long as he didn't speak, was fine with himself, was choked by Mrs. Li's sudden words. Seeing this, Mrs. Li rushed to pour water for him, but she echoed Mrs. Li's words and said to Shen Qingshu: " Mother is right, this is your fault."

For a moment, the topic at the dinner table turned directly to Shen Qingshu himself, and even Xiao He and Li Erzhu joined in, looking at Shen Qing's unlovable scholar's face, Mu Chu covered his mouth and chuckled, but there was a slight smile. Sad, when my father and mother were still there, I sat and ate together, but the atmosphere was always very depressing, without any communication, even if there was, it was nothing more than comparing myself with so and so, so that I could learn more point; or it is the trouble I caused and I was reported as a small report, let myself restrain myself, how can I relax as I am now.Looking at Mrs. Li's family again, they had heartfelt smiles on their faces at the moment, which made Mu Chu very envious.

The pleasant dinner time was over, Xiao He went to help Aunt Li clean up the dishes, while Mu Chu and Shen Qingshu were left to talk.

Shen Qingshu told them all about how he knew Mu Chu, how he had lived in the past few months, and how he came back this time to continue waiting for the imperial examination. But when he mentioned Mu Chu, he hesitated. Xiang Muchu.

Seeing Shen Qingshu's gaze cast on him, he realized that he was worried that if he mentioned the destruction of the Mu family, he would make himself uncomfortable?Thinking of this, Mu Chu's heart warmed up, but she felt that she was not as fragile as Shen Qingshu thought, and she was already trying to grow up so that she would not be a burden to anyone.

So he recounted what Shen Qingshu hadn't said.

After listening to Mrs. Li and Li Erzhu, they both sympathized with her experience, and even more so.

"Son, you treat this as your own home, we are your family, you will call me grandma in the future, do you understand?"

Mrs. Li spoke to Mu Chu with concern, and Li Erzhu followed suit:

"Yes, sister, we will be a family from now on, and you and my brother Qingshu can call me big brother."

Hearing what they said, Mu Chu felt his nose sour. It's the feeling of being cared for.

"Mu Chu thanked you all here."

Then there was a simple exchange of pleasantries, and Mu Chu adapted quickly enough, Shen Qingshu thought, but speaking of it, her performance tonight really surprised him, it seemed that he was just worrying about it.

After Xiaohe and Mrs. Li finished their work, it was time to say goodbye.

"Then we'll go back, you guys should rest earlier." Shen Qingshu said.

"Okay, let's go back." Mrs. Li waved to several people kindly.

After going out for a few steps, they arrived at Shen's house. After a simple wash, they each fell asleep. Although it was the first time they came to this place, Mu Chu slept very soundly, dreamless all night...

Dawn was breaking in the sky, and the rooster was crowing. Compared with Mu Chu who was still in his dream, Shen Qingshu had already got up and changed into casual clothes with narrow sleeves. Today he planned to go to the field with Li Erzhu to have a look. After all, he was so warmly received yesterday. Without them, you have to do something yourself.Although as one of the few scholars in the village, I usually have no part to work in the fields, but after my mother left, I would go to the fields to help with light work on days when I didn't have to study books.

After the preparations, they went out and saw Li Erzhu and his wife carrying tools to the field. Shen Qingshu stopped them and explained their intentions. Persisted, he explained to Mrs. Li again, and compromised to take him with him.

After walking for a while, a large field appeared in front of Shen Qingshu, and looking around, there were already people busy working.

After hearing what Li Erzhu said, the main thing today is watering the crops, weeding and so on, but carrying water is a laborious task. The husband and wife agreed that Shen Qingshu's body is not suitable for manual labor, so they entrusted him with the task of weeding. Gladly agree.

———As you can see I am the divider————

On the other side, Mu Chu had also woken up, stretched comfortably, and let Xiao He do her makeup.What should I do today?I'll ask Mr. later.

Unexpectedly, after I finished washing up, I could still see Shen Qingshu's figure. Various possibilities flashed through my mind quickly, and I shook my head again, and decided to go to Grandma's house to see.

Sure enough, I was thinking too much. Mrs. Li explained to her, and she was relieved.After having breakfast at Mrs. Li's house, Mu Chu moved a small stool to the door and sat down. She was going to wait for Shen Qingshu and the others to come back, but she really overestimated herself. After a while, she was bored. Looking at the clouds in the sky and counting the ants on the ground, she also wanted to go to the fields to see how her husband is farming, but after all, she suffered from being unfamiliar with this place. When my husband comes back, I must let him take me here. Looking around the village, Mu Chu thought.

Xiao He helped Mrs. Li out, and saw Mu Chu staring at the sky in a daze and shouted, "Miss!"

Mu Chu looked at the source of the sound and stood up.

"Grandma." He also walked over to help Mrs. Li sit on the stool.

"Girl Chu, what are you thinking, so absorbed?" Mrs. Li asked with her aged voice.

"Grandma, I don't think about anything, I'm just a little bored." I miss Mr.

After all, Mrs. Li is someone who has been here, and she saw it thoroughly, and said: "Don't worry, I guess at this time, Xiaoshu and the others will be back soon."

"Grandma, what are you talking about? I'm not..." Mu Chu lowered his head in embarrassment when he saw that his thoughts had been pierced.

"Why are you so embarrassed, grandma understands."

Mu Chu didn't speak, but Xiao He took the call for her: "Xiao He also understands."

Old lady Li smiled kindly, waiting for Mu Chu to say something.

"Grandma... tell me about Mr.." I want to know what he likes and what he hates.Want to know his past, want to try to walk into his heart.

"Well, I'll tell you about her then. She..."

Mrs. Li started from Shen Qingshu when she was young, interspersed with many embarrassing incidents, Mu Chu and Xiao He both listened with great interest, and the boring time passed in Mrs. Li's vivid narration...

———— Divider —————————

Shen Qingshu straightened up with some difficulty, and wiped the sweat off his face. After all, he hadn't done farm work for a long time, but except for the weeds on a few acres of land, it was so tiring.

"That's the end of today's work. It's time to go back and prepare lunch." Li Erzhu said to Shen Qingshu and Sister-in-law Li with ease, carrying the tools he brought on his shoulders.

When they arrived at the door of the house, they saw an elder and a younger child sitting together happily.It was Xiao He who had sharp eyes and was the first to spot them: "Sir, they are back!"

Mu Chuwen looked at them, but Shen Qingshu was the only one who caught his eyes. He didn't wear a loose robe today, he was wearing coarse clothes, but it couldn't conceal his gentle and refined temperament.

Looking at his face again, there are a few strands of blue hair soaked in sweat sticking to his forehead, and his complexion is also tired. After working all morning, he must be very tired, right?Mu Chu said to himself in his heart.

"Miss, ma'am?"

"Huh?" Mu Chu recovered from Xiao He's call: "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to prepare lunch with Mrs. Li first."

"it is good."

Seeing Mu Chu's performance, Mrs. Li had an idea in her heart.

"Xiaoshu, come here." Mrs. Li beckoned to Shen Qingshu.

After Shen Qingshu came over, he said to Mu Chu: "Girl Chu, I won't accompany you anymore." Then he said to Shen Qingshu: "Help me back to my room."

After returning to her room, Mrs. Li ordered Shen Qingshu to close the door and make room for him to sit down beside the bed.

"What's the matter, grandma?" Shen Qingshu looked bewildered.

"Little Shu, most people your age in our village have already married." Mrs. Li obviously meant something, but Shen Qingshu couldn't catch it.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's time for you to think about your life-long affairs. I think the first girl is very good."

We haven't spent long time together with Mu Chu, but Mrs. Li likes this little girl from the bottom of her heart, especially in the conversation this morning, nine out of ten sentences of her cannot be separated from Shen Qingshu. Woolen cloth?

Shen Qingshu understood a little bit:

"Grandma, what are you talking about, you know my identity..."

"What's wrong with your identity? Huh?"

"You know I'm a woman..." Shen Qingshu's voice was a little weak, but it was the truth.

"What's wrong with being a woman, you don't have to start a family if you are a woman?" Mrs. Li feigned anger, observing Shen Qingshu's facial expression.

"I didn't mean that, but you said that Mu Chu..."

Shen Qingshu didn't say the next thing, but Mrs. Li went on to say: "What's wrong with Chu girl? It's a sign of Chu girl who is well-behaved, sensible and born, and likes you. Why don't you want to, huh?"

I see what you can say, Mrs. Li thought to herself.

Well-behaved and sensible?Grandma, are you sure?

"Grandma, what did you do today?" Shen Qingshu was careful, and did not follow Mrs. Li's words.

"It's just telling them something about your childhood."

"Then you!..." Shen Qingshu looked surprised, and Mrs. Li said slowly: "Don't worry, I didn't say that you are a woman, but can you guarantee that you will never be discovered?"

"Grandma why did you say that...?"

"You are really a bystander and fan of the authorities, Chu girl likes you so much, don't you know?

"

"Of course I know, it's just that I'm a woman..."

Mrs. Li managed to get Shen Qingshu to return to the original topic.

"So what if it's a woman, don't you like her?" Mrs. Li has been observing the changes in Shen Qingshu, and as expected, she paused as soon as she said this, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes before answering: "Of course I don't want like her."

"Really?" Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes, and Shen Qingshu panicked.

"Damn, of course. Besides, how can a woman like a woman!" This is against Chang Lun!It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Li grabbed her ear angrily, and grinned her teeth in pain: "Grandma, what are you doing, hiss~"

"You stinky girl, it's because you have read the books of sages for so many years. Forget it, I feel sorry for Chu girl, I fell in love with you, a stinky girl who doesn't understand people's hearts, and your parents, your Shen family is going to die , what face does the old man have to meet them?"

Mrs. Li said that she was going to wipe away her tears, and observed Shen Qingshu from the corner of her eye.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingshu was also anxious, got up from the bed and knelt down directly: "Grandma, it's my fault, it's my fault."

"You really think you're wrong?" Mrs. Li's recovery speed made Shen Qingshu tongue-tied.

"Well, I don't need you to do anything. Tomorrow, you take your first girl around the village. What's your expression? Oh, poor ancestors of the Shen family~" Mrs. Li was embarrassed when she saw Shen Qingshu Shen Qingshu was afraid that he was going to make trouble again:

"Okay, I promise you."
