Son

Wang Ziqian and Bai Xiaoxiao stood by the bed.

Wang Ziqian said: "He slept for a long time."

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded: "Sleep like a pig at home."

Wang Ziqian pointed to the face of the man on the bed, "He looks really good-looking."

Bai Xiaoxiao murmured in agreement, "It's as good-looking as a girl."

Wang Ziqian said: "He is a girl, isn't he the wife of the Master?"

Bai Xiaoxiao knocked him on the head: "Idiot, he's a boy, didn't you hear the master asked us to call him brother?"

Wang Ziqian frowned, "But the wives are all women."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked serious, "It can also be a man."

"But my mother is a woman."

Bai Xiaoxiao fell silent, finding it difficult to answer this question.

Wang Ziqian asked again: "He and Master will have a baby in the future, will the baby want to call him his mother?"

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and fell into deep thought.

Linqing: "..."

Finally, I couldn't help sitting up and shouting: "Why are you standing beside my bed and talking!"

Wang Ziqian was startled, "Brother, you are awake, I have been waiting for you for a long time, get up and play ghost hunting."

Linqing hadn't fully woken up yet, and was soundly asleep when he was woken up by two little ghosts, feeling sleepy and irritable, "I don't want to play, I want to sleep."

"Brother, you've been sleeping all afternoon, and the master is out of school, so you still haven't woken up."

Linqing woke up immediately, "School is over? Where's your wife?"

Wang Ziqian pointed to the outside, "Master is reading in the classroom."

Lin Qing quickly got up and rushed to the classroom, and the two children also ran over. In the classroom, Shen Xu was sitting on a chair and reading "Historical Records". He looked up at Lin Qing, "Are you up?"

Linqing came over, "Why didn't you call me?"

Shen Xu said: "Seeing that you slept soundly, and you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, I let you sleep."

Lin Qing said shyly, "How long has it been since school? Go home, it's time to cook."

Prince Qian immediately pulled his sleeves, "Brother, you promised to play with us."

Shen Xu smiled and said: "It's still early, you can play with them for a while."

Linqing had no choice but to go.

This time it was Wang Ziqian who was the ghost, the limp child was exhausted from running and couldn't catch a single person, panting heavily while holding his knees, his little face was dripping with sweat, he said intermittently: "I, I can't catch. "

A child said: "Come on, come on, if you don't catch it, you will always be a ghost."

Wang Ziqian gritted his teeth and ran over to arrest him again.

Linqing ran happily with a group of children, at first he was complacent about not being caught, but when he saw Wang Ziqian's face flushed and sweating profusely, he felt a little sympathetic, and was hesitating whether to sacrifice himself for him to rest. But Bai Xiaoxiao slowed down, almost leaned over to catch Wang Ziqian.

Wang Ziqian shouted happily: "Caught it! Caught it!"

With no expression on Bai Xiaoxiao's face, she said coolly, "Oh."

Looking at Linqing, she couldn't help smiling. The friendship between the children was simple and sincere, which was enviable.

He changed to be a ghost again, and played until the sun went down. A group of students became acquainted with Lin Qing, and they all called him brother, and talked around him, as if they were brothers in the first place.Linqing had more than a dozen younger brothers at once, and he was so happy and emotional that he couldn't remember their names. He turned to the door of the house for help, and looked at Shen Xu, who was smiling and watching them play, his eyes were slightly bewildered, but more happy.

"Goodbye, master, goodbye brother." The children went home in twos and threes, "Brother will play together tomorrow."

Lin Qing complied, watched them go away, and turned her head to meet Shen Xu's eyes.

The setting sun shines at night, and in the early spring, everything is revived. The sporadic buds on the tree branches are tender and lovely, and the occasional south wind is also tinged with warmth.A certain place in Linqing's heart seemed to be blown by the spring breeze, so soft that it made people want to cry.

With a slight smile, he rolled up a strand of thin hair from his sideburns, and said softly, "Go home."

Linqing attended the class for a few days before going back to plow the land.

The kid in the school pouted and said, "Brother will come after school."

Linqing patted the child's head, and said warmly: "Come on, come and play together when you have time."

In the classroom, Shen Xu knocked on the pointer and said helplessly, "Are you here to play or to study?"

Linqing wanted to rent one-third of an acre of land from the landlord to grow rice, but the rent was too high, and he was very reluctant to hold the only ten taels of silver at home.

When passing by the canal, I accidentally found a place with abundant water and excellent sunlight. Because it is not a regular place and it is too far away from the villagers' fields, no one uses it.

Linqing was moved, not knowing if the land had an owner, so she ran to the village head to ask.The mayor followed him to look, stroked his beard and said, "No one has rented this place yet, but what can you do if you come here? You can't even harvest a few liang of rice."

The land is indeed pitifully small, but it is only a few steps away. Lin Qing said: "There are only two people in my family, and I have never done any farm work. I think I will try it first. Even if the harvest is not big, the loss is not big. No matter how bad it is, it's okay. Get something else."

The mayor said: "If you want to rent it, you can, but people come and go here, so don't grow things and get stolen."

Linqing smiled and said, "It's okay, plant it first and then talk about it."

Now, with the head of the township, I went back to finish the lease, bought some seeds, and asked Aunt Wang to teach me.

Although Aunt Wang’s family does not cultivate land and relies on her husband to open a butcher’s shop for a living, she still knows how to do farm work. Aunt Wang then taught her: “Well, why don’t you just sit at home and enjoy the blessings, and come out to suffer? Your husband-in-law is not Have you become a teacher, why do you need to come out to do things?"

Linqing stepped on the wet mud with his trousers on his heels, shivering from the cold, "I always have to eat, I don't rely on him alone."

Aunt Wang thought for a while, and said with emotion: "What you are like is different from us. When a woman is married, she depends on the man to live. The man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside. It seems to be the truth since ancient times."

Lin Qing blushed: "I don't know what ordinary people are like...Me too, I'm not a girl..."

Aunt Wang smiled, "Mr. Liu's family is the same as you. Mr. Liu works as a pen for the township head, and he spins yarn to sell money. Although he is a man, the cloth weaves is more delicate than that of a woman. It looks like a butterfly is about to fly out."

Linqing remembered seeing the loom at Liu Yulang's house, and thought of Qin Wan's white and slender hands. He wondered how he took care of them. Then he looked at his own. It was only less than a month old, and he was too rough to show it to him. People watched.

He also thought, a person as proud as Qin Wan would put down her body and follow Liu Yulang to the countryside to endure hardships, but she was only a pair of hands, so why bother to grieve.

Shen Xu was forced to become a teacher.

Being able to be down and out together is already a blessing.

After finishing the work in the field and looking at the well-organized land, it was only time to sow the seeds.Linqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head, and it was almost noon, he hurriedly bid farewell to Aunt Wang and went back to cook for Shen Xu.

A few days later, the small field took shape. Linqing no longer had to work in the field every day, but instead weeded and loosened the soil in the vegetable field in his backyard.

After delivering the meal to Shen Xu, he sat back and listened to the class for a while.

Since Shen Xu became a teacher, Lin Qing lost his temper with him a lot less. First, the two no longer face each other from morning to night. Teacher Biao, the previous inertia has been suppressed a lot, and he gradually shows the airs of the head of the family.

Only occasionally, I still feel lazy and complain.

For example, now, during the break time, the students all ran out to play, Shen Xu lay on the wooden table and mourned, "Come and replace me for a few days, getting up early every day is really exhausting."

Linqing poured him a cup of hot tea, "As a teacher, why do you still say such capricious words?"

"Teaching is really tiring..." Shen Xu bit the rim of the cup and spat out bubbles.

Linqing slapped his hand, "What does it look like?"

Shen Xu said aggrievedly, "Only one day off every ten days..."

Linqing really couldn't laugh or cry, if the students outside saw her husband's appearance like this, they didn't know what to think.

In class, Linqing stopped listening and went home to water the vegetables.

As soon as he walked to the door of the house, he ran into Liu Yulang, who looked anxious, cupped his hands and said, "Has Qin Wan ever been here?"

Lin Qing was startled, "Never. What's the matter?"

Liu Yulang was very anxious, "I shouldn't have said a few harsh words. He was always proud, so he couldn't bear it and left. I didn't catch up in time. When I went out to look for someone, he had already disappeared."

Lin Qing was shocked, "Why is this? Where will he go? When did he disappear?"

"Just now," Liu Yulang was in a hurry to find someone, he had no time to elaborate, and said, "If he comes, please keep him for me, Yulang thank you in advance."

Lin Qing nodded, "Where are you going to find it, I'll come and help."

"No need, Qin Wan has no one to rely on here, if she comes to join you, you can take care of her at home."

Linqing could only watch Liu Yulang leave.

Unexpectedly, after seeing each other for a few days, something like this will happen. It's getting dark, where is Qin going to the party, has he brought silver taels, what should I do if I'm hungry, if I don't come back at night, will I find a place to stay, what if I meet bad people manage……

Linqing stood outside the courtyard gate, his heart pounding, hoping that Liu Yulang would find someone soon.

"Linqing." Someone called out from behind.

Linqing turned her head, "!!!"

Standing behind him was Qin Wan!

"Why are you here?" Linqing was about to call Liu Yulang, "Liu—"

Qin Wan covered his mouth, "Don't call him, let him look for it," with an angry face, "I can't find him."

Lin Qing's eyes widened, "You were here just now?"

"I hid in your yard, and I heard what you said."

Linqing: "!!"

"Do you have water to drink? I'm dying of thirst." Qin Wan said.

Linqing had no choice but to let go of his full stomach of doubts, first led the man into the house, and poured him a glass of water.

After finishing her drink, Qin Wan hugged the cup and looked at the ground in a daze.

Lin Qing sat next to him and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Wan said: "I won't let him pass."

Linqing's eyes widened, "Why?"

Qin Wan's eyes slowly turned red, she was silent for a while, and said the matter.

When Liu Yulang came back from writing for the village chief, when Qin Wan undressed him, she found a handkerchief hidden in the sleeve, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, and still smelled of rouge from her daughter's home.The mayor has a daughter who is fifteen this year and fell in love with Liu Yulang at first sight.Qin Wan originally cared that Liu Yulang would go to the village chief's house every day to attract bees and butterflies, but now that she saw Pazi, she felt that Liu Yulang was very romantic.

Qin Wan quarreled with him and left home angrily.Liu Yulang got angry and went out to look for someone again, but he couldn't find him anyway, so he came down to ask Linqing helplessly, but unexpectedly, the two of them would miss him.

Linqing and Qinwan were friends, so they felt that Liu Yulang was wrong about this matter, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Wan wiped away her tears and shook her head, "I don't know, at worst, go back to Goulan Courtyard."

Linqing hurriedly said: "No! You can move in and live with me."

Qin Wan forced a smile, "It's just right for you to live with Mr. Shen, so what's the difference if I have one more? Before I met Liu Yulang, I lived alone, but it's no big deal to go back again."

Lin Qing took his hand and said eagerly: "How nice to live a comfortable life, do you really want to go back and be bullied?"

Qin Wan stared at him in a daze, then covered her face and began to cry.
