Chapter 82 Daily Life
"From now on, you, Young Master Xu, will make tea for me."
Since that day, Xu Suining often went to the thatched cottage by the stream to look for little Han Zhang.
It was nothing serious, basically he was lying on the bamboo chair, watching Han Zhang take care of the vegetables in the small vegetable field. He also raised a hen, and every time he laid eggs, he kept one for himself first, and the rest The ones that were found were sold in the market.
The child is thin and thin, but he works very hard.
Or maybe it was because he saw hope.
On this day, Xu Suining waved his fan, and Xu's carriage sent him to the intersection, and he had to trouble Master Xu to go the rest of the way by himself.
When he walked into the thatched hut, he found that Han Zhang had climbed onto the roof at some point.
The thatched hut looked weak at first glance, and it seemed to fall apart when the wind blew.
He strode forward, frowning and said: "What are you doing? Don't climb so high, children, it will be bad if you fall."
Han Zhang turned his head and grinned at him, "It's okay. I often climb. It will rain in a few days. The roof is leaking. I'll find something to cover it."
"You tell me this kind of thing."
"Is it useful to tell you? With your body, I'm afraid you'll faint when you stand up." Xu Suining was so stunned that he had nothing to say.
It's all to blame, what kind of broken body was chosen for him.
Han Zhang repaired the broken house in two or three strokes. His movements were very skillful, and it was enough to see how sad the life of this ten-year-old boy in front of him was.
After coming down from the roof, Han Zhang glanced at Xu Suining's clean boots, and said in a strange tone, "Master Xu came here again today?"
"Naturally." Xu Suining replied calmly, even if he only took a few steps, he walked over by himself.
Han Zhang sighed, and looked at his flawless face with some concern, "If this goes on like this, I don't know if you can keep this face."
"What's wrong?" Xu Suining really didn't understand what Han Zhang was talking about.
Han Zhang pointed to the tip of his nose, with a sly smile on his face, "It is said in the book that the nose of a liar will become long and big. Think about it, if you have a nose like that, wouldn't you Become an ugly monster?"
Xu Suining was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was talking about. He touched the tip of his nose, with a helpless and doting smile on his face, "How do you know? No, why did you still find out?"
"This morning, Aunt Du poured several basins of water at the door. The section in front of her door is muddy, but that is the only way to my house. Seeing how clean your boots are, you must have never walked there. .”
Xu Suining raised his eyebrows, "Okay, what you said is reasonable and well-founded, then I will reward you well today."
Speaking of this, Han Zhang's big eyes lit up immediately, "Has the sequel to the storybook I read last time come out?"
Xu Suining knew that he would say this, and took out a book from his arms and handed it over, "I just came out this morning, no, I'll bring it to you right away."
"Great! I also want to know if the master and apprentice turned against each other in the end."
Han Zhang picked up the book and walked to the shade of the tree. Regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, he sat down and read it attentively.
Xu Suining saw that the window was also broken, so he picked up the tool Han Zhang used just now, and patched up the hole.
It was obviously an ordinary movement, but when Xu Suining did it, it was still elegant.
By the time he finished these, Han Zhang had already read half of the script.
Xu Suining called him a few times, but he didn't seem to hear him.
He sighed helplessly, walked over, sat directly beside Han Zhang, and fanned him gently with a fan.
If Ginkgo saw it, it would be time to say him again.
I don’t know how long it took before Han Zhang finally turned to the last page, but the author was obviously very bad-hearted, “Ah! Why did you stop at such an important part? What happened to the ending? The end."
When Han Zhang saw the climax, he stopped abruptly.
Xu Suining naturally understands this kind of pain, but fortunately, he has never pursued serialization.
Han Zhang returned the book to him, resting his elbows on his knees, dragging his chin with his hands, looking at the curled leaves under the scorching sun, he couldn't help but think about the world he saw in the script just now.
"You said, there will really be a place where people don't need to eat every day, just drink dew, and they can go to heaven and earth, turn stones into gold, and when encountering bad guys, they can scare people away when they draw their swords. And talking foxes and birds!"
Xu Suining looked kindly, "Of course there will be such a place."
Han Zhang's eyes lit up at first, and then dimmed immediately, "How could it be true? These are all written in the scriptures, and they are all fake. I have never seen such a fairy-tale character in this town. Immortal Venerable."
Xu Suining, "Immortals are not necessarily immortal. The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. Tianshui Town is just a small place, and there is a vaster land outside the town."
Han Zhang curled his lips and muttered, "It sounds like you know it well. Haven't you never been out of Tianshui Town?"
Xu Suining paused, and quickly turned the corner, "Although I have never left the town, my father often brings me a lot of books from outside. I have read all this knowledge from the books."
Han Zhang turned his head to look at him, then looked away, sighed and said, "I really envy you. I have a father who treats you so well. If only you were my father."
Xu Suining suddenly had a heart attack, and quickly stopped his bad idea.
"I'm only five years older than you, but I can't be your father."
"I'm just a metaphor, a beautiful longing, you know?"
Xu Suining took out a yellow pear from his bosom and threw it over, "In the future, you are not allowed to use this metaphor, and you are not allowed to have this kind of yearning."
"You! Why are you still fussing over a child at such an age!" Han Zhang took a bite of the pear, and the juice instantly sweetened his heart. To be a good father, it is better to hope that one day you will be able to stand out."
Xu Suining was very satisfied with his thought awareness, and patted his head. Although he was quickly slapped away mercilessly, he was still very happy, "If one day you become famous, the first thing you want to do What's the matter?"
Without any hesitation, Han Zhang blurted out, "Of course I turned your Xu mansion upside down and smashed the two stone lions in front of the gate! Drive all the people in your Xu mansion out of the town and let them work in the fields every day. You are not allowed to come back until it is dark!" He was full of righteous indignation when he suddenly remembered that the people around him also belonged to the Xu family, his voice immediately became softer, and he added awkwardly: "Your sick body won't let you I've been working in the fields, and seeing that you're making good tea, I'll let you stay by my side to make tea."
"Okay, then I'll make tea for you, Master Han."
Han Zhang suddenly turned his head to look at him with a rare serious expression.
Xu Suining was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
"You said that you would make tea for me for the rest of your life, so you must not die so early, did you hear me?"
Xu Suining was stunned, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually widened, "Okay, I will try my best."
"It's not as much as possible, it is necessary! By the way, is your father still punishing you for copying books today? Take it out, and I will help you finish copying before it is dark. I said that your father is really, usually not right. Are you taking good care of it? How can you be punished for copying books if you make a small mistake?"
"Oh, I'm weak, and I usually spend a lot of money to treat my illness. He should be unhappy." Xu Suining continued to talk nonsense with his eyes open.
But obviously, the little Han Zhang is much easier to deceive than the big one.
Han Zhang patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will leave this kind of thing to me in the future. I can imitate people's handwriting, and your father will definitely not be able to see it."
"Well, thank you very much, I also brought some pastries, you can eat some when you are tired from copying, otherwise I will always feel a little bit sorry."
"it is good!"
Han Zhang's family didn't have such a luxury as candles, so the two of them copied a few pages in the yard.
As the sky darkened, Han Zhang gradually lost his sight.
Xu Suining immediately put away the paper, "Let's stop here, I will take the rest home and write it myself, and write it in front of my father, so that he will be more convinced."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Han Zhang said while putting away his things.
Xu Suining suddenly caught a glimpse of several red marks on his neck, and stretched out his hand.
Han Zhang suddenly flinched and dodged back, clutching his neck tightly, "What are you doing, let me tell you, don't grab my clothes anymore, you almost tore the clothes last time."
Xu Suining paused, and then couldn't help chuckling, "No wonder I didn't see you wearing that dress again, take it out, and I'll mend it for you later."
"You? Do you know how?" Han Zhang really couldn't imagine the appearance of this man who didn't touch the spring water with his fingers holding an embroidery needle in his hand.
Xu Suining raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, I will make it up for you."
Although Han Zhang said he didn't believe it, he went back to the room and took out the torn shirt, "If you can't mend it well, don't come here."
"Okay." Xu Suining took his clothes and left. When he reached the corner, he didn't walk the way home, but walked in the opposite direction.
The sky is getting darker, and there is fear of a heavy rain.
Xu Suining looked up at the sky and quickened his pace.
The author says:
Han Zhang: Seeing that you make good tea, just stay with me and make tea.
Xu Suining: My skill at soaking other things is also very good, do you want to try it?
