Chapter 27 Feeding Pigs
Zhou Qing looked at Shen Li suspiciously, always feeling uneasy.
"Boss Shen lives here, so what about your shop in the county?"
Shen Li smiled and said, "The shop belongs to my family. I just help to keep an eye on it. Uncle Zhong from the shop is in charge of it on weekdays. This time I came out to study with the consent of my family."
After a pause, Shen Li said, "I am the master's apprentice. Miss Qing can just call me by my name in the future, or, Brother Shen."
Zhou Ping got goose bumps for no reason and raised his hand to sweep the bumps on his arm.
Shen Li
While talking, Zhao brought in the meal, and Zhou Huailin also came back.
Zhou Qing and Zhou Yao cleaned the table, and a group of people gathered around the table to eat enthusiastically.
For Shen Li, it was satisfying to watch Zhou Qing eat.
He never knew that liking someone could be so sudden, and missing someone could not wait for the moment to miss him.
For the Zhou family, it was satisfying to eat chicken.
After a full meal, Zhou Huaishan used the excuse that his legs were not very good, and Zhou Huailin took Shen Li to look for a house to find the clan leader.
If people from other surnames want to stay in the village, they must get the consent of the clan leader.
Zhou Qing, Zhou Yao and Zhao were busy washing the pot, while Zhou Ping and Zhou Huaishan were preparing to continue writing the word "Feng" in the house.
Since Shen Li wanted to stay, there was a mule cart to help, and Zhou Qing and his friends could bring more Feng tomorrow.
"Pingzi, why do you want to become a disciple? If you don't become a disciple, Second Uncle will teach you." Zhou Huaishan leaned on the kang cabinet and chatted with Zhou Ping with a satisfied look.
From now on, he is a person with an apprentice.
As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, and an apprentice is half a servant!
Zhou Ping spread the big red paper on the table.
"Second Uncle can teach me to write, but I can't eat the delicious food that the eldest brother gives to Second Uncle openly. I am his junior brother, so I can eat it. How can he not let me eat it?"
Zhou Huaishan laughed suddenly.
He knew that this kid had something on his mind, and his mind was different from that of normal people, just like him.
Before coming to the village, Shen Li had made preparations, and he presented a valuable gift as soon as he entered the clan leader's house.
A set of top-quality four treasures of the study.
The clan leader had a general understanding of Shen Li, and was shocked to learn that he was here to become a disciple, and that he was to become Zhou Huaishan's disciple.
However, this did not affect his agreement to let Shen Li stay.
After all, he opened a pen and ink shop in the county town, and as long as Shen Li was not the kind of person who did something weird, it would be beneficial to their village to live there.
After all, there is a saying: benefits and risks coexist.
After hearing what the village leader said, Zhou Huailin took Shen Li to visit several idle courtyards in the village, and finally Shen Li chose the one Zhou Ping mentioned.
A courtyard behind the old Zhou family.
Although the courtyard was not the best, it was close to Zhou Qing.
After contacting the owner of the house and transferring the ownership at the clan leader's house, Zhou Huailin took Shen Li back to the old Zhou family.
The news that Zhou Huaishan accepted an apprentice spread throughout Qingyang Village during Shen Li's house purchase.
When they returned to the old Zhou family, Zhou Qing was carrying a bowl of pig food to the pigpen.
Although the pig belonged to the old couple, when the pig was slaughtered, the meat was divided equally among everyone, and Zhou Qing didn't mind feeding the pig.
"Miss Qing, let me do it."
Shen Li hurried forward to take the pig food bowl from Zhou Qing's hand.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "No, no, go into the house and write with my father."
"Dad, come and help fetch water!"
In the yard, Zhou Yao shouted at Zhou Huailin, and Zhou Huailin nodded to Shen Li to help Zhou Yao.
Shen Li followed Zhou Qing, "Miss Qing, don't you want me to become your disciple?"
Zhou Qing put the pig food bowl on the low wall of the pig pen, turned around and smiled at Shen Li, "I just think that with Boss Shen, there are all kinds of good teachers, why do you have to find my father?"
"Master's handwriting is good." Shen Li's beautiful eyes were full of sincerity, "I have never seen anyone who writes better than Master, who else can I become my disciple?"
Speaking of this, Shen Li took a step forward, held the pig food bowl with his hand, and smiled at Zhou Qing, "I have become your disciple, and the house has been bought, Miss Qing, please accept me."
Under the moonlight, it feels so good to be able to hold a pig food bowl with Zhou Qing's four hands!
Zhou Qing
Why did he say this as if he was confessing his love.
"Although my father has good handwriting, he has not studied seriously for a few days. We plan to take the exam for this year's Tongsheng. He still has a lot to learn. I'm afraid he really doesn't have much time to teach you."
Zhou Qing was really sincere.
After all, Boss Shen is her benefactor, and she can't harm him.
Shen Li smiled and said, "Miss Qing, although my handwriting is not as good as my master, I am still very good at reading the Four Books and Five Classics. If Miss Qing and my master don't mind, I am willing to share what I have learned with my master."
Zhou Qing was stunned.
Share?
Isn't it just you teaching my father?
Look at how he can talk.
"I see that Boss Shen is not very old, why, don't you study now?"
Shen Li smiled gently and said, "Because of some problems at home, I can't continue to study for the imperial examination, so I can only go home to inherit my family business."
Zhou Qing
Is this the real version of the legendary, if you don't study hard, you will go home to inherit a fortune?
With a twitch in the corner of his eye, Zhou Qing held the pig food bowl and said to Shen Li, "Then I would like to ask, how far has Boss Shen studied?"
Shen Li also held the pig food bowl.
"Passed the provincial examination."
Zhou Qing
Passed the provincial examination?
So, this is a top student?
A top student, who comes to tutor her father?
Pig.
Are you going to feed me or not? Just tell me the truth!
Zhou Qing and Shen Li were chatting, and Cheng Wu ran over in a hurry.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Zhou's house, he saw Shen Li and Zhou Qing standing next to the pigpen with their eyes facing each other. They were holding a pig food bowl together. Cheng Wu was so anxious that he clenched his fist.
He just heard someone say that a handsome guy from the county town worshipped Zhou Huaishan as his teacher. At that time, he suspected that it was this boss.
Unexpectedly, it was true!
"What are you doing!"
Cheng Wu roared and ran towards Zhou Qing.
"Sister Qing!"
Cheng Wu suddenly appeared, scaring Zhou Qing, and she suddenly raised her hand and patted her chest. As soon as she let go, Shen Li could not hold up the pig food bowl that the two of them had held.
A bowl of pig food was immediately knocked down with the bowl and the pig food.
The pig was just under the bowl, and it was knocked down.
Pigs.
Do you know how to feed pigs?
You passed the provincial examination, but this is your level? Do you feed pigs directly by airdrop?
Zhou Qing looked at her big fat pig who was given a bowl of pig food and was banging his head wildly. She couldn't help but laugh against the wall.
Shen Li looked embarrassed.
"Well, how about I cook some more for it?"
Zhou Qing
Cook some food?
Hahahaha.
"No need, just ask Pingzi to mix it later." After saying that, he turned to Cheng Wu and said, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"
Cheng Wu looked at Shen Li unkindly and pulled Zhou Qing, "Why is he here at your house?"
Shen Li stood by the pigpen and narrowed his eyes when he saw Zhou Qing being pulled aside by Cheng Wu.
