Dad, Did You Study Today?

After setting Wang Qiang’s matter straight, Zhou Qing was in a relatively good mood when she was cooking.

As for whether the others were good or not, she didn’t know.

Zhou Qing was cutting vegetables when Zhou Ping came in.

He moved a small bench and sat before the stove, “Big Sister, I’ll start the fire.”

Holding the fire shovel in his hand,  Zhou Ping peered at the door with his backside to see if no one was there and tugged on Zhou Qing’s pants.

“Big Sister, how about my performance today?”

Zhou Qing ……

Zhou Qing was chopping vegetables and looked at Zhou Ping and saw his little face begging for praise, so Zhou Qing smiled and said, “Good.”

Zhou Ping said, “Then can Big Sister ask Second Uncle to teach me when he studies?”

After saying that, fearing that Zhou Qing would disagree, Zhou Ping raised his head and continued.

“Big Sister, don’t worry. I don’t need the paper you bought for Second Uncle. I’ll just take the sticks and write on the ground. I will only take up a little of Second Uncle’s time. Second Uncle can teach me a couple of words a day. Once I learned, when someone bullies Big Sister again in the future, I can also help Big Sister. In the future, when Big Sister and Second Sister get married, they will see that I am knowledgeable, and they will also think highly of Big Sister and Second Sister.”

Zhou Ping’s obsidian-like eyes were bright and shiny.

After laying out the facts and reasoning, he tugged on Zhou Qing’s pants and pouted.

“Big Sister, please, my dear Big Sister. My best, my best, my best Big Sister, my beautiful, kind-hearted Big Sister.”

Zhou Qing couldn’t help but pinch his face.

This boy helped her with an idea.

However, it was a thoughtful one.

For Zhou Ping to study, Zhou Qing did not have any objections. Besides, the relationship between the Second House and the Third House was also good.

“Did your parents agree?”

Zhou Ping laughed, showing his teeth, “Of course, who does not want his son to read and write.”

“What about grandfather and grandmother?”

Zhou Ping then laughed, “Grandfather and grandmother are still in disagreement with the Second Uncle studying.”

Zhou Qing ……

Come on!

The person had everything figured out before he came.

“Okay, I’ll talk to your Second Uncle.”

Zhou Ping was happy enough to almost jump up, “I knew Big Sister was the best Big Sister. Big Sister doesn’t need to worry. If brother-in-law bullies you in the future, I’ll make sure he can’t get off the ground.”

Zhou Qing ……

Zhou Yao took a handful of wild vegetables in and glared at Zhou Ping, “All day long, you beat up who? Let’s be honest. It’s lucky if you don’t get beaten up.”

After saying that, she placed the wild vegetables next to Zhou Qing.

“I’ve already washed it. Sister, let’s cook soup.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Ping lit a fire and suddenly thought of another matter. He looked up towards Zhou Qing and Zhou Yao.

“Big Sister, Second Sister, didn’t you say that you women all like a bad man? Then how come everyone doesn’t like Wang Qiang? He’s not bad enough, huh?”

Zhou Yao raised her hand and slapped Zhou Ping on the head.

“What are you talking about, you little thing? Where did you hear that?”

Zhou Ping complained, “The brothers in the village said so.”

Zhou Qing laughed. “Perhaps some people like a bad man, but no one likes a bad man. Ping can’t be bad.”

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes, and she didn’t know if he understood it, but he didn’t say a word and concentrated on his fire.

Zhou Yao sighed angrily, “When the reality is that his skin is too thick.”

But Zhou Qing said terrible to the man. Zhou Yao heard it and kept it in mind.

What happened was that the man was not only lame but also his core.

With the three siblings working together, their dinner was ready in a few minutes.

Zhou Huaihai entered on time at the dinner hour.

Zhou Qing gave Zhou Huaishan another bowl of solid food to carry over. Although Mrs. Sun looked angry this time, she did not say anything.

Unaware of what was happening at home, Zhou Huaihai sat at the dining table and looked at Zhou Qing, “I heard that you went to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. You spent the money to buy a pen, and they gave you a thick stack of paper and an ink stone?”

Zhou Qing was drinking a mouthful of wild vegetable soup and almost sprayed it when she heard that.

Cheng Wu, that big mouth.

“Hmm.”

Zhou Qing lowered her head to eat and answered.

The ink, paper, and inkstone topic naturally involved Zhou Huaishan’s study.

Mrs. Sun’s voice was heavy, “I almost forgot about this. You can take the paper and pencil to your uncle’s house later and give it to your big brother to use.”

Zhou Qing did not squeak.

Why did anyone need to fight?

“Did you hear that, d*mn girl?”

While Zhou Qing said nothing, Mrs. Sun didn’t let her go.

“Your father is at home these days to recuperate his leg. When his leg is well, he will continue farming.”

Zhou Ping eyed Zhou Qing.

“Grandma, my father is not farming. Those paper and pencils were bought for my father to use. If big brother wants to use them, I can share half of the paper for free.”

Zhou Qing said calmly.

Before Mrs. Sun’s attack, Zhou Qing calmly said, “Grandma, I know why you won’t let my father study. It is because you are afraid that my father will use the family’s money to study, and it will not be enough for big brother. Grandma, don’t worry, my father will study, and I won’t take money from the family.”

“Nonsense! If you won’t ask for money, how can that be? Do you not need money to study?” Mrs. Sun scolded.

“My father can read and write, so he can copy books. The books can be sold at the bookstore. Although they are worth little, they can make some money. He can go to school when he has saved enough money for tuition.”

After a short pause, Zhou Qing looked at Old Zhou.

“Concerning the family’s field, although my father is not farming, he was responsible for those in the past. Grandfather, you can hire someone. Take the silver from my father’s money for copying and selling books so that my father can also study. The family is not affected, right?”

Zhou Qing laughed, saying, “If my father can’t read anything, you won’t lose anything. If my father can read something, you will also be honored?”

Zhou Qing tried to speak calmly and peacefully.

After all, these matters would not end with bickering alone.

Right after Zhou Qing’s speech, Zhou Huaihai’s snort was extremely light. He shook his head and let out a long sigh.

He initially thought the Second House was making a fuss as usual, but he didn’t expect it to be serious.

“How can anyone who wants to copy a book be able to copy it? If everyone can earn money by copying books, then the bookstore should not open for business, only to do charity. The academy students could not even beg for this opportunity, but your father had read a few times twenty years ago, but he could get it?”

The meaning was obvious.

Stop trying that toad to eat swan meat!

“Uncle, although my father has been farming all these years, whenever he has time, he will secretly practice his writing on the ground with a stick. His writing is not bad.”

With these words, Zhou Qing glanced at Old Zhou, then said with extra incitement, “In my father’s heart, he still thinks about studying.”

That hit the old man’s heart.

In the past, the eldest and the second brother studied together. The second brother was better than the eldest.

But the family was poor, without a choice.

Unexpectedly so many years had passed ……

When he thought that the second son would take a tree stick to practice his writing in the field, and when he thought of him bawling this morning, Old Zhou’s heart throbbed in pain.

When she saw that the old man had a distressed look, Mrs. Sun barked, “Other people’s schoolchildren can’t even get a chance, so your father can get it with a stick? Stop embarrassing yourself.”

Assistant Zhou Ping then blinked his eyes at Zhou Huaihai, “Eldest Uncle, have you gotten rejected by the bookstore?”

Zhou Huaihai ……
