Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

"Why did you come here so early?" Being disturbed from his dream, his tone was naturally a bit complaining.

"I was thinking of coming over earlier to do some work." Zhao Mei pointed to the backpack on her shoulder.

"I went to the foot of the mountain to cut pigweed in the morning. I saw that Aunt Zhong had chickens at home, so I also cut a basket of them over."

This girl is so considerate. As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face. Even if she is angry now, she can't express it.

"Come in, I'll wash up first. After you feed the chickens, go cook."

"Eat something light in the morning, just make some porridge."

After breakfast, Zhong Chuchu returned to the study.

She spent 100 taels on something from the mall, which was very suitable as an apprenticeship ceremony. It was a pure copper mechanical pocket watch.

The retro watch case is surrounded by engraved auspicious clouds, and a crystal glass mirror is hollowed out in the middle. Through the mirror, you can see the rotating second hand inside.

When the second hand turns, there is a faint ticking sound, like a small drum beating on the heart, making people immersed in it unconsciously.

Opening the watch case, it is engraved inside: Once I am in love with Xingyu, I will always remember my teacher's kindness.

With this pocket watch, there should be no need to prepare other things.

Thinking that Dabao was going to school, she was busy at home, preparing everything she needed.

I said hello to Zhao Mei and went out to buy some study-related items.

She walked around the town and found a study called Moxiangju.

The shopkeeper of Moxiangju is an old man in his sixties.

The old man's face was criss-crossed with grooves, and his cloudy eyes were always half-closed, as if he hadn't woken up.

"Shopkeeper, are there pens, inks, paper and inkstones here?" Zhong Chuchu looked around. There were many books in the store, but these four things were not seen.

The old shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter, holding a book in his hand. When he heard the sound, he didn't raise his head, but glanced at it with his peripheral vision.

"Which one do you want?"

"What types are there? Can you introduce a few?" she asked politely.

"Do you want the expensive one or the cheap one?" The old shopkeeper didn't even look up this time.

Zhong Chuchu was not angry and continued: "How much is the cheaper one?"

"A set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone costs twenty taels of silver."

"Where's the expensive one?" She secretly smacked her lips. Fortunately, she had been mentally prepared before, otherwise she would have had a heart attack from the price.

No wonder everyone knows that studying is the only way out, but very few families actually send their children to study.

This expense has already dissuaded most people.

"No." There was no wave in the old shopkeeper's tone.

Zhong Chuchu was speechless for a while, scolding the old man half to death in her heart, but she said, "Can you take it out and let me see?"

If this was the only store in town, she would never have stayed here for more than three seconds!

The old man put down the book in his hand, looked her up and down, stood up, opened the cabinet door behind the counter, and carefully took out a small wooden box from inside.

The surface of the wooden box is wiped clean, and you can tell that someone has wiped it frequently.

The old shopkeeper took a small key from his waist, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it gently, and opened the lid.

Zhong Chuchu stepped forward and took a look. There was a pile of yellowish paper at the bottom of the box. The surface of the paper was grainy and looked very rough.

There is a simple inkstone, a bamboo brush, and a small box next to it, which should contain ink sticks.

Zhong Chuchu didn't know how to distinguish good from bad, but in her memory, it seemed that Lin Xiucai used it like this.

She knew in her heart that such a set should be the most common set. "Can it be cheaper?"

"I don't bargain here." The old man glanced at her and silently closed the lid.

"Okay! I" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a man.

"Are you Xiaomei's neighbor?" Li Hu walked in and looked at her with surprise.

Zhong Chuchu thought for a while, isn't this Xiaomei's baby partner?
It seems that his name is Li Hu. From the bottom of her heart, she despises such a man, who is treacherous and forgets his friends.

"You are the one who kidnapped a good girl and ran away with her, right?" Her tone was full of mockery.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Hu did not expect that this woman would not give him any face.

"What? Do you know each other?" the old shopkeeper asked suspiciously.

"I don't know." They both said in unison.

The old shopkeeper didn't say much after hearing this, and just told Li Hu: "Oh, you came back just in time. I'm tired. Go in and take a rest. You can stay here."

Li Hu nodded hurriedly and bowed: "Okay, Third Master, you go and have a rest. I'm here, so don't worry."

As he said that, he still pulled up the curtain for him.

After the shopkeeper left, he turned around and flicked his sleeves, holding his head high and changing his face.

"Ha, I heard Tao'er say you are a widow? Where did you get the spare money to buy the Four Treasures of the Study!" Li Hu's tone was full of sarcasm, and he looked her up and down with squinted eyes.

Zhong Chuchu has a hot figure. Even if she wears a quilted dress, she still can't hide her proud curves.

Even without any rouge or gouache on that face, it was still so breathtakingly beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. An evil fire suddenly burst out in his heart.

Seeing that this guy was looking at her more and more unscrupulously, Zhong Chuchu frowned slightly and said with a puzzled face: "Hey? Is there no one in the store? Why let a dog come out and bark!"

"Hahaha" a burst of laughter came from the door.

Mo Yu walked in gracefully, swinging a folding fan splashed with ink, followed by a familiar figure.

Qin Ye glanced at Li Hu coldly with a gloomy face. In just a moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Who is this person? It's too scary." Li Hu lowered his head and did not dare to express his anger. His heartbeat slowed down a few beats.

"Ms. Zhong is really sharp-tongued." Mo Yu said with a smile.

Zhong Chuchu could tell that these were not all complimentary words.

"It turns out to be Mo Thigh."

As soon as these words came out, the room was quiet for three seconds.

"Ahem. That's wrong. It's Master Mo. What kind of wind has brought you here?"

If there was a crack in the ground, she would have crawled through it by now.

Mo Yu rolled his eyes at her. Although every word in these words was honorific, why did it not taste right when it came out of her mouth?
"Huh!" He didn't bother to pay attention, snorted coldly and turned away.

"Chu Chu, why are you here?"

Qin Ye just passed by this store and heard that the voice of the person inside sounded very similar to hers, so he wanted to come in and take a look, but he didn't expect that it was her.

"Dabao is going to the academy to study. I'm here to buy him some school supplies." She explained.

"Well, the things sold here are not very good!" Qin Ye looked around with contempt in his eyes.

When Li Hu heard this, he still pretended to be quail and did not dare to express his anger.

"No wonder, let me just say, this place is full of filth and there is no smell of books anywhere." Zhong Chuchu suddenly realized.
