Chapter 56 discuss
That night, Shen Yubei stayed in his house. The Zhao family’s ancestral house only had two bedrooms. Zhong Ziqi and his wife occupied one, and the other was naturally given to Shen Yubei’s master and servant.
The room where Shen Yubei lived had a big fire-kang, which was used by rural people in winter. It was no problem to squeeze two or three people. Zhong Ziqi took the quilt and laid it out carefully. As for how their master and servant will allocate sleep later, that is not something they can manage.
There was no entertainment in the evening, and after exchanging good nights, we went back to each room and rested early.
Zhong Ziqi undressed and went to bed, shuddering and slipped into Zhao Zhengan’s warm arms and said, “Our house is a bit old. Do you want to rebuild one? After this, guests can stay in the house as well. .”
Zhao Zhengan yawned and put his chin on his head, and said in a soft voice, “Well, it’s okay to build one. This house is too old, in case there is a natural disaster that can’t bear it.”
“Yes.”
If this is an earthquake or heavy rain, their house will definitely collapse.
“It’s cold now, it will be frozen soon, and the ice and snow will melt in the spring next year.”
“Then build it next year, don’t worry for a while.”
“Ok.”
In the middle of the night, Zhong Ziqi suddenly felt a little bit cold while he was half-dreaming and half-awake. He subconsciously rubbed against Zhao Zhengan, but was not comforted.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and through the faint moonlight, he saw Zhao Zhengan panting at him, his face full of sweat.
Zhong Ziqi ran away all the sleepy bugs all at once.
“Have a headache again?”
Zhong Ziqi asked suicide, raising his hand to gently massage the acupuncture points on his head, which he deliberately learned from the old doctor. The old doctor was helpless with Zhao Zhengan, so he could only teach Zhong Ziqi to massage a few important acupuncture points.
“feelling better?”
“Ok…”
Zhao Zhengan’s voice is a little weak. He has a headache for about five minutes each time. He feels that the time is short when he looks at it, but only those who suffer from pain know how long the time is, as if to split his head in half.
“It seems we still have to find the genius doctor as soon as possible.” Zhong Ziqi muttered to herself.
The straight Hongying who was lying next door sat up silently, her ears erected and she didn’t know what she was listening to.
“What’s the matter?” Shen Yubei squinted at Hong Ying, who was not far from him.
“Back to the master, the subordinate heard a voice next door.”
“No one came in, right?”
“No.”
“Then don’t worry about it.”
Maybe it’s what the young couple are doing…Shen Yubei yawned. It was the first time he slept with this hard kang, and he couldn’t get used to it.
Hongying made sure that there was no problem and then lay down again.
The next day, Zhong Ziqi got up before dawn. He didn’t wake Zhao Zhengan, so he washed briefly, opened the door and went to Zhao Ama’s house, and talked to Zhao Ama about today’s affairs. I guess today. The same can’t go.
Zhao Ama nodded in understanding, knowing that a visitor was coming from their house.
“Ziqi, who is your family here?” Zhao Ama asked. Seeing that it is late, they are also going to town.
“My wife’s family came here, and the person here is my brother, my uncle.” Zhong Ziqi didn’t subconsciously say that this person is the two people with extraordinary identities who often go to the store to see.
“Your Amu’s family came here? Are you the ones who took the initiative to find?”
“Yes, I took the initiative to find them. If they don’t find me, I don’t know there are relatives.”
After all, his Eminem had only understated and never talked about his maternal grandfather, so he lived to say that the original body had never cared about it in his heart.
“Then what does your uncle’s family do? Are they also ordinary people?”
“There are some small businesses in the family.”
Zhong Ziqi said modestly that he didn’t want to tell others too much about how powerful his uncle was. He didn’t have that much vanity and didn’t need to accept the envy and admiration of others.
“Yeah, that’s amazing.” Zhao Ama was surprised and closed his mouth from ear to ear, and then whispered to Zhong Ziqi, “Ziqi, it is impossible for the Zhong family to have a good relationship with them, but your uncle must have a good relationship. I can help you with anything in the future, people can’t have no relatives at all.”
“Well, I know what.”
“It’s getting late, I have to go, let’s talk about it when we have time.” Zhao Amo looked at Fang Liang’s sky and said.
“Well, then I’m leaving now.” Zhong Ziqi waved his hand and went home.
When he got home, Zhao Zhengan was already up and was carrying water from the well to the kitchen.
“What did you do?” Zhao Zhengan came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket, just in time to see Zhong Ziqi coming back from outside.
“I went to Zhao Amo’s house, and told him that I won’t go anymore today.” Zhao Zhengan nodded and put the barrel in place.
“You go take a rest, I’ll cook.”
In the past, I had to get up early because I had to enter the town. It is rare to get a good night’s sleep today.
“No, I’m not sleepy, I’ll help you burn the fire.”
Zhao Zhengan shook his head and refused. He is not a lazy person. Unless he is tired, he would not go to sleep lazily.
When Zhong Ziqi’s meal was almost ready, Shen Yubei and Hong Ying walked slowly, and if they looked closely, there were still thick dark circles under their eyes.
“You got up, uncle, why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
Shen Yubei smiled helplessly: “I don’t sleep anymore, I got up late today.”
Normally, he would get up earlier than this time. Last night, he suffered from insomnia because of not adapting to the new place. He only fell asleep in the middle of the night, which made him late.
“You two got up early enough and the food is ready.”
“The two of us are used to it. We usually have to enter the town early and open for business, so even if we take a break, we can’t sleep when it’s time.”
Zhao Zhengan said, standing up and pouring a basin of hot water for Shen Yubei to wash his face.
“Uncle, did you sleep well last night?” Zhong Ziqi asked after taking a look at Shen Yubei.
“It’s okay.”
Shen Yubei bent down and lifted up the warm water to wash her face. He drove away the restlessness, smelled the aroma from the pot, and the crowing and dog barking from time to time in the courtyard. Looking at the magnificent scenery of the mountains in the distance, he suddenly felt that this kind of leisurely life was indeed good.
For breakfast, Zhong Ziqi didn’t cook too greasy, so he made a pot of rice porridge with some rice, just in case someone didn’t like to drink porridge, there were eggs, and a few dishes of side dishes.
Obviously, Shen Yubei’s heart was won. He ate very comfortably. He even drank several bowls of porridge. This also made Zhong Ziqi relieved, afraid that he would be too shabby.
“Tomorrow I will go back to Pingyang, Jiangnan. Would you like to go and see with me?” Shen Yubei looked at Zhong Ziqi: “Your grandpa and grandma must also want to see you.”
Zhong Ziqi thought for a while and shook her head: “No, my uncle, you see I can’t get out of my body right now, don’t wait until I have time.”
“Well, when I come next time, I’ll take you back.” Shen Yubei didn’t force it, and gave him time to think clearly.
“Okay.” Zhong Ziqi nodded and agreed.
After eating, Zhong Ziqi got up to clear the table, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Zhao Zhengan hesitated after sitting in the chair: “Uncle…”
“Huh? Something?”
“Yeah…” Zhao Zhengan looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to say it.
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Uncle, I…can I learn to run business with you?” Zhao Zhengan hesitated for a while and said.
Shen Yubei was surprised: “Huh? Learn to do business with me? Okay, but I will go back to Pingyang tomorrow, so I can’t teach you.”
“Unless…you go back with me.”
“I think about it.” Zhao Zhengan’s thoughts flashed, but it still doesn’t work, he must discuss with Zhong Ziqi.
“Well, come and tell me when you think about it.”
Shen Yubei is very optimistic about Zhao Zhengan. After contacting him during this period of time, I feel that he is different from ordinary villagers. He is not stupid, smooth and intelligent in the accident. The most important thing is that he has a sense of responsibility and a self-motivated heart. , He can safely teach Zhong Ziqi to him, otherwise, if he is the kind of speculative and slippery person, he will take Zhong Ziqi back with everything he says.
Zhao Zhengan got up and went to the kitchen, Zhong Ziqi was standing by the stove doing the dishes. Zhao Zhengan walked over and hugged his waist from behind and pasted it.
Zhong Ziqi froze first, then relaxed her body: “In broad daylight, can you not do this…”
Zhao Zhengan interrupted him: “Ziqi, can you discuss something with you?”
“what’s up?”
Zhong Ziqi asked with her head sideways. He rarely heard Zhao Zhengan calling his name so solemnly.
There was silence behind him.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Zhong Ziqi asked a little uneasy.
“No.”
“Oh, then you mean it.”
“I…I…I want to go to the south with my uncle.” Zhao Zhengan said with his eyes closed.
The bowl in Zhong Ziqi’s hand fell back into the basin with a snap, splashing a large amount of water, but Zhong Ziqi didn’t care, he turned around and looked at Zhao Zhengan sharply: “You say it again!”
Zhao Zhengan is ready to respond to Zhong Ziqi’s various reactions: “I want to go to the south with uncle, don’t worry, listen to me, you also know how profitable business is now, our family cannot rely on you alone. Hold on, I’m a man. Uncle has a big business in the South. I went to study with him. They have a dedicated team. I followed to study and make some money by the way. Then you won’t have to work so hard. I made money. , Give you a big restaurant, how good it is for you to be the shopkeeper.”
“Drawing pie to satisfy your hunger, in case you don’t make money!”
Zhong Ziqi deliberately poured cold water on him and felt uncomfortable. He didn’t want Zhao Zhengan to leave him. He was helpless in this world. He finally had a loved one. He couldn’t bear the loneliness of separation, even if it was only short. Short separation.
“Who am I, your husband? I am a person with a future. How can I not make money? If you don’t talk about the long-term, you can make a lot of money if you run a business trip, at least enough for our family to spend several years.
“There are still people who have lost it. If you lose it once, you will lose your fortune.”
The most important thing for a runner is a person who combines vision and mind. They are bound to make a fortune, otherwise, a short-sighted person, he will invest money in things of little value, and will often lose his wife and collapse.
“Don’t pour cold water on me.”
Zhao Zhengan grabbed his face helplessly: “I only need a little capital. If it is more, I earn it. Otherwise, I can’t lose it. The big deal is that I will come back and continue to support you. Who made you so capable.”
“Who is willing to raise you.” Zhong Ziqi deliberately looked disgusted, and then changed to worry: “But you still have a headache? What if you are in danger?”
This is what he worries the most. It’s not like being at home outside, you have to be careful everywhere.
“It’s okay, don’t worry, I can handle it. I can just find the genius doctor you mentioned by the way.”
Zhong Ziqi shook his head and didn’t want to talk. He knew that Zhao Zhengan was doing his ideological work rather than discussing with him. Seeing that he was laughing and joking all day long, he was actually a person with stronger self-esteem than anyone else. It’s not about being a man to have face, but about being a man. As a man, he is a man who has to bear the life of another man. He does not allow himself to be lazy. He wants to support this family and does not want to be a brother. He is tired every day.
To put it bluntly, it is a bit of male chauvinism. He can’t bear to be raised by him. Although he doesn’t feel much, he can understand his anxiety and restlessness, but he can’t cry like a woman to keep him from leaving, because he also Know that this is a serious matter.
Looking into Zhao Zhengan’s earnestly expecting eyes, Zhong Ziqi suddenly felt that this matter was imperative.
