Dad, Did You Study Today?

“Why is my life so bitter!”

“I just went to catch a cricket. How did I become like this?”

“God. How did I become a farmer? I don’t know how to farm!”

“Oooooooo …… I can’t compete with others for expensive clothes, powerful crickets, or beautiful jade pendants. What’s the point of living? But I don’t want to die either!”

　　……

Zhou Qing was dazed and confused.

This low and desperate cry awakened Zhou Qing.

Stretching her hand in annoyance,  Zhou Qing was ready to grab something and smash it toward the sound source.

However, when she reached and touched it, her body sprang to life with a swish, and her eyes opened.

It didn’t feel right.

The new mattress she bought was soft and comfortable to lie on.

Why did this feel so hard?

When she opened her eyes, Zhou Qing was surprised by the ceiling with several baskets hanging above her head and got up immediately.

“Shit! What the hell is this place!”

Zhou Qing blurted out, and her eyes got a good look around.

The room was a small one with simple furnishings.

The only furniture on the floor was a low bench with butt prints.

She was on the bed.

On the bed, a dark brown cabinet stood against the wall.

The paint had fallen off and was stained.

In front of the cabinet was a man in his 30s or 40s sitting.

There were patches on his clothes.

The man’s face was covered with tear stains.

Zhou Qing ……

“Was it you who was crying?”

The man heard the voice and gave a wailing sound. 

He did not speak; his eyes were staring straight at Zhou Qing. 

He was alert and uneasy inside and out.

Zhou Qing looked at the man. 

After feeling the surrounding environment, Zhou Qing’s brain slowly reacted.

She had transmigrated! 

The original owner was the daughter of the second branch of the Zhou Bingde family in Qingyang Village, also named Zhou Qing.

The memories of the original owner came overwhelmingly, and Zhou Qing frowned.

Huh, this guy was not the original owner’s father?

Then just ……

After recalling the words of the man crying just now, Zhou Qing’s mouth suddenly twitched, and looked at him with a strange gaze.

“You’re not Zhou Huaishan.”

Zhou Huaishan hiccuped again. 

Half an hour ago, he woke up in a strange place.

In his head, there were unfamiliar memories.

He was a playboy prince.

He had been eating, drinking, and playing all his life, and now he suddenly became a farmer.

This farmer was also named Zhou Huaishan.

This life excitement caught him off guard, and he burst into tears in shock.

Unexpectedly, now he was poked by someone.

Terrified and about to speak, he suddenly remembered when this girl got up energetically and her words.

Letting a sobbing fit, Zhou Huaishan said, “You’re not Zhou Qing either.”

Zhou Qing ……

Zhou Huaishan ……

Both were not the original and exposed each other.

Staring wide-eyed for about a tea time, two people began introducing themselves.

Zhou Qing was from modern times and transmigrated to the ancient time. 

Initially, she was a sales manager of a listed company and died suddenly because she was too busy working and resting too little.

Zhou Huaishan was a rich boy who knew nothing but eating, drinking, and playing and was catching crickets before he died. 

Perhaps the sun was too intense, and he fell headlong into the grass.

After the self-introduction, Zhou Huaishan’s original desperate mood instantly became even more desperate.

“How can we do this? I am a son of a rich family. I do not know anything!”

Zhou Huaishan looked at Zhou Qing with a very intense gaze. 

In his eyes, it was all dependence and hope.

Zhou Qing ……

Both of them were like this. 

The designated persona would instantly crumble when they had to go out.

Ancient people would talk about something like ghosts on the body. 

Maybe, they both have to be burned by fire.

She was good, saying the original owner did not work in the field.

But Zhou Huaishan was different. 

Zhou Huaishan was going to work in the field.

She and Zhou Huaishan were not acquainted. 

Even if Zhou Huaishan were treated as a demon and burnt by fire, she would not blink an eye.

But the original’s mother died early. 

Once Zhou Huaishan died, the second branch of the family would only be left with her. 

According to the current situation of the Zhou family, she now had no skills, was at the age of marriage, and the family was short of money ……

Therefore, Zhou Huaishan could not die.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qing did not exhale. 

It was hard to hold in the chest.

Only one way was to make Zhou Huaishan’s character not fall apart.

“Why don’t you go study, go to the academy, so you don’t have to go into the field? This way, no one can discover you are not the original. When you get a title, you can be an official, and after being an official, you can continue to live that life before.”

Saying so, Zhou Qing felt more about letting Zhou Huaishan study.

People respected the scholars, so she could benefit from the glory.

If Zhou Huaishan could get a name for himself, he would be a second-generation official and could live the kind of life he used to run.

A dream should always be there.

When Zhou Huaishan heard about studying, he immediately waved his hand.

“Me? Read a book? Don’t joke. If I were to study, I wouldn’t be a dandy!”

Zhou Qing ……

“Then you farm.”

Zhou Huaishan ……

“Then I’ll study.”

Zhou Qing ……

Zhou Huaishan ……

Once again, the two stared wide-eyed and glared for a while. 

Zhou Huaishan said, “You should know about this family’s situation, right?”

Zhou Qing nodded.

Play

Unmute

Zhou Huaishan said, “Even if we planned to let me go to school, the family would not agree.”

There were three sides to the Zhou family, and currently, the main household was supported by the second and third branches.

The main household, Zhou Huaihai, was a scholar who naturally did not go to the farm. 

He taught at the village school but never took out the silver money he earned.

His son, Zhou Yuan, studied at Liyang Academy in town, and the whole family paid the expenses together.

The only difference between the two brothers is that Zhou Huaishan read and wrote a little when he was a child.

“Besides, I am already at this age.”

Zhou Huaishan looked at Zhou Qing uneasily, waiting for her to decide.

After all, he was a dandy, relying on others to make decisions.

Zhou Qing thought about it. 

With limited knowledge, she could not think of anything better, so she said, “In these days, you just lie on the bed. Continue to nurse your legs, and when I have settled things, you will go to study. Whoever comes to see you, don’t say anything. Just close your eyes and sleep.”

When Zhou Huaishan was working on the farm, he was knocked over by a cow and crushed his leg.

Zhou Huaishan was nursing his leg on the bed when they traveled here.

Zhou Qing was so tired from working inside and outside that she fell asleep on the bed.

Usually, she didn’t sleep here. 

After all, she had already matured.

She couldn’t sleep on the same bed with her father.

When Zhou Qing said this, Zhou Huaishan immediately lay on the bed.

“Yes, I can do this job. I guarantee that whoever looks at me can see I am a patient!”

From a young age, the dandy had to pretend to be sick to avoid studying!

He had the talent!

Zhou Qing ……

How big-hearted!

In the corner of her eyes, she watched Zhou Huaishan lie down smoothly.

Zhou Qing was about to speak when a voice rang out from outside.

“What time is it? Why are you still not cooking? Your uncle will be back from school in a while. Hurry up and cook.”

Zhou Qing’s grandmother, Sun Shi, entered from outside with a cold face and spat at Zhou Qing.

“You are so lazy at your age, hurry up and cook. Also, since your father can’t go to the farm, you shouldn’t go out all day tomorrow and follow your third uncle to the farm.”

Zhou Qing said nothing but jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and went to the kitchen.

Cursing, Sun Shi followed her.

She didn’t look at Zhou Huaishan from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Huaishan, pretending to be sick, breathed a huge sigh of relief.

I got it so bad!
