Son

After crying for two days, Linqing's eyes were swollen and her throat was hoarse, and she couldn't speak.

But soon, Shen Xu was also speechless.

Because Linqing erected a piece of wood at the place where the rabbit was buried, and wrote four large characters on it, "Xu'er's Tomb".

Shen Xu: "..."

The corners of Shen Xu's eyes twitched slightly, and she tried to speak: "There's no need to erect a tombstone..."

Lin Qing turned her head and glared at Shen Xu angrily, with grievance and anger in her eyes.

He died of his dearest rabbit, yet Shen Xu still didn't let him erect a monument to pay tribute to him!

Shen Xu shrunk her neck, had no choice but to swallow the words, watched Linqing put vegetables in front of the tombstone, and said sadly: "My dear Xu, eat more, and I will be a good family in the next life."

Shen Xu couldn't laugh or cry.

The sun was getting late, Shen Xu stood up and patted the dirt on her body, and said, "I'm going to the school to teach."

Linqing wiped away her tears and stood up, "I'll go with you."

"what are you going to do?"

Linqing lowered his head and whispered after a long time: "I never went to school before."

Shen Xu understood that he was curious and wanted to see what the school looked like, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go together."

Linqing changed her clothes and followed Shen Xu out.Walking along the way, the closer he got to the school, the more his heart beat faster, he was actually a little nervous, turned his head to look at Shen Xu, but he was calm, as if he was not the one who was going to teach others, but himself.

"What are you going to tell them?" Lin Qing asked carefully.

"Before Mr. Cui fell ill, when he talked about the Book of Rites, I plan to pick up where he left off."

"Oh." Lin Qing nodded, and said again: "Have you brought all the brushes and ink? Is there enough hemp paper? Have you prepared the bamboo stick? What if the students are not good? How many people are there? Do you know them all?"

He has been immersed in the grief of losing the rabbit for the past two days, and forgot to ask Shen Xu about preparing for teaching. Seeing the school slowly approaching, he began to panic in his heart, for fear that Shen Xu would lose his dignity in front of the students for a while and be disciplined later. It can be difficult to get up.

While Lin Qing was chattering, Shen Xu suddenly stopped and looked at him.

Linqing: "?"

Shen Xu suddenly smiled, "Why are you so nervous, I am also a talent in Yangzhou, how can I lose face in front of Chuipiao'er?"

Lin Qing was taken aback for a moment, and felt that she was too worried.

Shen Xu's usual unreliability almost made him forget his handsome appearance in the past.Linqing is a bit confused, whether he likes Shen Xu's high-spirited, talented person, or a lazy trash, if he doesn't have the elegant demeanor of being in front of the water, he won't be obsessed with him and take him over as a foreign pet Unreasonable demands, but now that I have seen the stupid and lazy appearance of this person, I can't bear to hate him no matter what.

Lin Qing's mind was so confused that he didn't know what he really liked about the other party.If it is said that what I was obsessed with at first was a phantom, but now the phantom is shattered, and there is an incompetent idiot left, why didn't I leave disappointed?

When I arrived at the school, there were already a few early students sitting there. They looked about seven or eight years old, and they were studying on their own. When they saw someone coming, they stood up a little shyly, looking back and forth between Shen Xu and Lin Qing, hesitating. Indefinitely: "Master."

Shen Xu smiled and said, "Morning."

The children smiled shyly and looked at Linqing again, not knowing what to call them.

Shen Xu said: "This is my book boy, you can just call me brother."

Although Lin Qing was reserved, he still wanted to look like an adult in front of children, so he tried to smile kindly, "Hello, my name is Lin Qing, and I am your master's book boy. You and I don't have to be restrained."

Several children looked at each other, quite puzzled, one of them scratched his head and said: "My mother said, you are husband and wife, you are the wife of the master."

Linqing: "!!!"

Shen Xu: "!!!"

Linqing was almost choked to death by his own saliva, do these rural women usually teach their children like this?Aren't you afraid that when your child grows up, he will find a son-in-law to go home?

Shen Xu barely coughed a few times, and made a dignified gesture: "Sit down and study."

The child looked puzzled, but obediently went back and picked up the book to read again.

Lin Qing blushed, regretting that she shouldn't have followed. She thought it would be much easier to get along if she was a child, but she didn't expect that even the child knew about his relationship with Shen Xu. His joy is like the thoughts of a child's family, hoping that people will know, but also hoping that people will not know.

Shen Xu sat behind the podium, took the book and slowly flipped through it.The students arrived one after another, and all of them looked at the new teacher curiously and excitedly. The original Mr. Cui was fierce and stern, but the teacher looked kind and amiable, and the children inevitably felt close.

Shen Xu knocked on the table with a bamboo pole, and said loudly: "I am your new master, surnamed Shen, you can just call me Master Shen. The previous Master Cui was ill, and I will teach you in the future. I hope you will study hard." Good question, I will be a talented and educated person in the future.”

All the students answered in unison.

Shen Xu said: "We will continue to talk about "Li Yun" today. Therefore, what the king understands is not the one who understands people. What the king supports is not the one who supports others. The king does things, not people. Therefore, if you understand people, you have faults, if you support people, you are not enough, and if you do things to people, you lose your position..."

Linqing sat in the last row and listened carefully.

Shen Xu lived up to his reputation as a talented scholar, and a section of "Li Yun" was explained in a simple and clear way, which was easy to understand and without losing its charm. Lin Qing had never read an orthodox book, but he could hear it very clearly, and he felt a sense of enlightenment .

After Shen Xu finished speaking, he asked the students to read by themselves, sat back on the chair, and took a sip of water.

Lin Qing sat on the seat and stared at him, looking at him, and felt that the image of the unrestrained and unrestrained youth overlapped with the person in front of him, as if returning to the days when he admired this person in the past.

Shen Xu put down the cup and saw Lin Qing looking at him fascinatedly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Shen Xu: "?"

Lin Qing quickly looked away, secretly thinking that he was negligent, and let people see him in a daze.He covered himself with a book and pretended to be reading, stuttering and blushing.

After reading for a while, Shen Xu stood up again to give a lecture, and repeated this several times. The sun was shining brightly, and it was time for lunch break.

Shen Xu announced that school was over, and the children cheered and ran out of the school to go home for dinner, and before leaving, they did not forget to respectfully bow to their master.

Seeing that everyone was running away, Linqing suddenly remembered that he forgot to go back early to prepare lunch, and blamed himself for being too fascinated by the lecture...

"I'll go back and do it right away, and I'll send it over soon." Lin Qing stood up and said.

"Let's go together, it's boring to stay alone."

The two returned home, ate casually, and then returned to school.

Before it was time for class, Shen Xu lay on the bed in the side room to take a nap, and Lin Qing squatted in the yard weeding.

This small courtyard is very large, the ground is very flat, and there are some children's playthings scattered in the corners. There is a big tree standing in the courtyard, its trunk is upright, and it is already showing signs of sprouting.

After Linqing pulled one place, he stood up and clapped his hands to relieve his backache. He looked around, but when he fell, he saw two children looking up at him.

Linqing: "?"

Child:"?"

Lin Qing said, "What's the matter?"

The two children looked at each other, and one of them said, "Brother, there is one less person in our game of catching ghosts, are you coming?"

Lin Qing didn't want to go, so he shied away and said: "You guys play on your own, I want to pull the weeds."

The child tugged on his sleeve, "Come on."

The other followed suit, hugging his leg, "Come on."

Linqing: "..."

Linqing was helpless, "Okay, let's just play a game, I'm too tired from making trouble, I'm going to doze off in class in the afternoon."

The child happily said: "Yeah!" and pulled Lin Qing over to their group, shouting: "I found someone to be a ghost!"

Linqing: "..."

It turned out that no one wanted to be a ghost, so they arrested me!

The rules of the game of catching ghosts are simple, that is, people who become ghosts fill the yard to arrest people, and whoever is caught will become a ghost for him.Linqing rolled up his sleeves and acted aggressively: "The ghost is coming!"

A group of children screamed and ran away.

Linqing thought, it's just a child, can he outrun me?Just grab one and get it done, he doesn't want to run sweaty.

After a cup of tea.

Linqing panted and roared, "You little bastards, wait for me!"

After another cup of tea.

Linqing was out of breath: "Stop, stop..."

After another cup of tea.

Several children surrounded Lin Qing who was lying on the ground, one poked his face, the other kicked his legs, and finally came to the conclusion: "He is dead."

Linqing: "..."

Linqing yelled, "I'm not dead! When I rest, see if I don't catch you and spank your butts!"

The children ran away screaming again, and soon realized that this "ghost" was not a threat. They ran back laughing, clapping and cheering around Linqing: "Ghost dies! Ghost dies!"

Linqing couldn't laugh or cry.

Shen Xu came out of the house and saw a group of students circling in a circle in the courtyard, as if they were performing some kind of sacrificial activity, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

The children suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and ran clean all at once.

Shen Xu walked over, knelt down and looked at Lin Qing who was lying on the ground, tilted her head and said, "What are you doing again?"

Lin Qing burst into tears, I also wanted to know what I was doing, why did I play such childish games with a group of children.

Lin Qing was lying on his side, propped on the ground with one hand, trying to sit up, wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling very distressed about the clothes on his body.

If it is soiled, it needs to be washed again.

There was a child who didn't leave, but squatted beside Lin Qing and poked his waist.

Linqing: "!"

Turning his head and roaring: "Don't touch me!"

Both Shen Xu and the child were stunned, and Shen Xu said helplessly, "Just touch you, why are you yelling at the child?"

Linqing was so wronged that she wanted to cry, she thought to herself that you students are going to kill me.

The child was not angry at all, and looked at Linqing with bright eyes without blinking, and said, "Brother, are you all right? Let's play together after school this afternoon?"

Lin Qing said: "Don't play! You run so fast, I can't catch any of you."

The child took his hand and shook it, "Let's play, let's play."

The child's hands were soft and soft, shaking Lin Qing's heart a little bit, but he still insisted: "Don't play!" With pursed mouth, he said again: "Unless you find someone else to be a ghost."

When Shen Xu heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.The young Linqing actually played with seven or eight-year-old children, and was wronged. Shen Xu was amused by his childish nature.

The child nodded readily, "Okay, okay, let me be the ghost." Then he asked Shen Xu, "Master, are you coming too?"

Shen Xu waved his hands and said with a smile: "I'm not coming, I can't run anymore, just let Linqing play with you, you are about the same age, adding me would not be fun."

Lin Qing knew that Shen Xu was making fun of herself, so she turned her head and glared angrily.

Shen Xu couldn't help laughing, he was considered a five-foot man, and he was arguing with the children about the rules of the game. His hair was messed up, his clothes were dirty, and his face was red. He was unspeakably cute.

Shen Xu reached out and scratched his nose, "Are you happier now?"

Lin Qing was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Shen Xu was caring about her, so she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and lowered her head, "Who cares about you."

Shen Xu smiled.

The child tilted his head and asked curiously: "Brother, why don't you let the master take care of you?"

Lin Qing's face was flushed red, he couldn't tell the child clearly, and said: "I don't want to go back to study, I have to go to class."

The child stood up, "Oh." He said again: "My brother, my name is Wang Ziqian, we will play together after school, don't forget."

Lin Qing said impatiently to the child's back, "Got it." He was still sulking at being teased by the children collectively.

Shen Xu stood up and patted his clothes, and said, "It's time for me to go to class, do you want to come and listen?"

Linqing said angrily, "I won't listen."

Shen Xu smiled and said, "Why are you still angry with the child? They only tease you because they like you. You are an older brother, so you should be more tolerant."

Linqing pursed her lips, and was still sitting on the ground playing tricks, "The clothes are all dirty."

"Just go back and wash it." Shen Xu said, and added: "If you don't want to wash it, I'll do it."

Lin Qing looked at him in surprise, Shen Xu smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Get up."

Linqing looked at him, then at his hand, blushed, shook his hand and stood up, said in a low voice, "You said it."

Shen Xu laughed, "I said so."

Linqing had been frowning for the past two days, only now did he have a little energy, Shen Xu thought to himself, it's all about coaxing the child to be happy, but it's easy to coax, as long as he promises to wash his clothes, he will be happy.

Linqing went to wash his hands, sat in the morning seat, and listened to Shen Xu's class with a group of children.

Xu was tired from playing at noon, and was a little tired in the afternoon, and began to doze off after listening to it.

Shen Xu: "What are human feelings, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire? You can learn the seven."

Child: "What is human affection... Huhu..."

Lin Qing: "What is a human... Huhu..."

Shen Xu looked at the students who were stumbling around in this hall, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she swung a bamboo pole and knocked it on the table, and there was a loud sound: "Crack!"

Child:"!!"

Linqing: "!!"

Shen Xu said: "Frolicking is not allowed at noon from now on, anyone who dozes off again will be punished by standing in front."

The child and Linqing both flattened their mouths, the real murderer was as fierce as Master Cui.

Shen Xu went on to give a lecture: "What are human feelings, joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire? The seven are learned and learned."

Child: "What is human affection, joy, anger, sorrow... huh..."

Linqing: "What is human affection, happiness... Huhu..."

Shen Xu: "..."

Shen Xu got angry, and knocked a bamboo pole on the table again, "Stand up!"

There were more than a dozen people standing in unison in the room, all panicked and depressed. Shen Xu looked around and sighed, "Forget it, let's have a cup of tea. If you do this again tomorrow, you will be fined to copy the book ten times."

The children were happy, and cheered and rushed out of the room to play.

Shen Xu couldn't laugh or cry, wasn't she sleepy, why did she regain her energy all of a sudden?

Sighing and shaking his head, he looked back and found that there was still a person sleeping on his stomach.

Shen Xu went over to pat Linqing, "Go to sleep in the room, be careful not to catch a cold."

Linqing was indeed tired, rubbed his eyes, stood up in a daze, and walked to the side room.
