Chapter 27

Sitting on the kang was a boy and a man.

The boy was thin and fair-skinned, but the man was tall and straight, with a bronze complexion and heroic features.

The boy is Xue Tingxiang, and the man is Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu is two years older than Zhao'er. He is eighteen this year, and he is about to get married, so he can be called a man.

"Tingxiang, go to the school and study hard, don't disappoint your sister's hard work for you. If someone bullies you, come back and tell Brother Jiang Wu, I will help you deal with him!"

Ever since he came in, Jiang Wu had been looking for something to talk to Xue Tingxiang all the time, he could tell that the boy didn't like him very much. But it doesn't matter whether he likes him or not, as long as the person he likes likes it is enough.

Zhao'er cared about the young man in front of him, and if he married Zhao'er in the future, the young man would become his younger brother, so Jiang Wu didn't mind putting his hot face on the other's cold ass.

Especially in his eyes, the dog of Xue's second room is still a child, and it is normal for children to have a temper.

Xue Tingxiang stared at Jiang Wu, Xiili suppressed the jealousy in his heart. He didn't want to make himself look childish in the eyes of the other party, and he didn't want to fall to the bottom, but he really couldn't help it.

"Do you like to recruit children?"

Jiang Wu was taken aback for a moment, but also nodded vaguely.

Xue Tingxiang's face became even uglier, "She is my child bride."

"She is not your child bride-in-law. You should know that Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue adopted her as their daughter back then. She is your sister. It was only because of an accident that they entrusted you to her."

Of course Xue Tingxiang knew, that's why Jiang Wu's appearance made him blow up.

"If you love your sister, you should find her a man who can love her. You know the situation in your family and how hard your sister has worked for you. But don't worry, if I marry your sister in the future, I will I will make offerings to you with her, and I will treat you as my own brother."

Jiang Wu understood the reasoning and was persuasive, but Xue Tingxiang's complexion became darker and darker.

"Don't think about it, I won't give her up to you."

Jiang Wu looked at him with a smile, with a look of indifference, which clearly didn't pay attention to what he said.

At this moment, Zhao'er came in carrying a wooden tray with three bowls on it. One is a large bowl, and the other two bowls are smaller.

"Come and eat noodles."

"Such a big bowl, Zhaoer, you are feeding me like a pig." Jiang Wu said with a smile.

Zhao'er said angrily, "Brother Jiang Wu, what are you talking about? I'm not afraid that you won't have enough to eat." As she spoke, she pushed the vinegared bowl in front of Xue Tingxiang: "Hurry up and eat, we'll eat it later." Let's go, there's still time."

Saying that, she also got on the kang, and sat on the edge of the kang, with Xue Tingxiang on the left and Jiang Wu on the right.

Jiang Wu was very face-saving, and started to eat with a sigh of relief, saying repeatedly that the noodles made by Zhao'er were delicious.

Does that mean it's the first time you've eaten it? Another time, or a few more times, when? Why doesn't he know?

Xue Tingxiang thought crazily in his heart, obviously the noodles are delicious and his favorite food, but he has no appetite at all.

It wasn't until Zhao'er asked him suspiciously that his face froze for a moment, and he said, "No vinegar."

"No vinegar?"

Zhao'er brought the bowl over and smelled it, she clearly remembered that vinegar was put in it before bringing it. But I'm not sure, because if you put only a little vinegar, you won't be able to smell it.

"Then I'll add some more for you." After speaking, she took the bowl and got off the kang and went out.

Xue Tingxiang stared at Jiang Wu viciously, eating so fast, he was not afraid of choking to death!

Jiang Wu felt him looking at him, raised his head and said, "Your sister's noodles are delicious, and they taste great without vinegar."

Xue Tingxiang ignored him, when Zhao'er came in and put the noodle bowl in front of him. He took a little bit of it with chopsticks and fed it into his mouth. It was still tasteless, but he didn't say anything, and started to eat silently.

"You need to eat more, so that you can grow as strong as your brother Jiang Wu in the future."

She thought he was not strong, and thought Jiang Wu was very good.

The meal was full of different thoughts, Jiang Wu and Zhao'er were chatting and laughing, but Xue Tingxiang was very silent.

After eating, Zhao'er went to wash the dishes, then packed up and planned to leave.

Jiang Wu carried the big bag that Zhao'er had prepared for Xue Tingxiang, and the three of them walked out together. As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was suddenly stopped by Mr. Xue.

"Jiang Wu, are you going to send the dog to town?"

Jiang Wu stopped and nodded.

"Can you drop Juncai along? Juncai is going to town too, but he's going to the Qinghe Academy. I heard from your Uncle Shanzi that he seems to be on the way."

"This—" Jiang Wu looked at Zhao'er.

Zhao'er went yesterday but told Dafang that she had borrowed a car, but she and Xue Tingxiang didn't want to hitch a ride. Jiang Wu knew Zhao'er's knot in his heart, so he agreed without asking much.

Xue Qingshan came out from the east chamber and said: "Father, why are you telling people about this, the car to pick us up will be here soon."

"Here you come? Let's see what time it is now? From the village to the town, even a mule cart takes two quarters of an hour. Juncai went to the school on the first day. If he was late, he would definitely be reprimanded." Old Master Xue said angrily. .

Don't look at what Xue Qingshan said, in fact, his heart is also on fire. Yesterday he purposely borrowed a car from a friend he made friends with in the neighboring village, but he had breakfast and everything was ready, and there was no one there.

He knew that the second room had also borrowed a car, and it was from the Jiang family. There are only two families in the village with mule carts, and the Lizheng family of these two families must not go there. The Jiang family has a rift with him. He has not forgotten how Jiang Hai scolded him when the second child died. He usually met the Jiang family. A nose is not a nose and a face is not a face.

So even though he knew that there was a car in the second room, the mother-in-law and son were in a hurry, and he couldn't bear to say it.

"Jiang Wu, just give them a ride."

With all the words said like this, Jiang Wu naturally couldn't refuse.

"Okay, Master Xue, this is nothing."

Seeing that Xue Qingshan hadn't moved yet, Old Master Xue turned around and scolded him: "Why are you dawdling! Mrs. Yang, quickly take out Juncai's things."

"Hey, here we come."

After a while of people turned their backs, the four got into the car.

Originally, Xue Qingshan planned to send his son off in person, but now there is no room for anyone in the car, so naturally he had no choice but to dismiss this idea.

Watching the mule cart go away, Xue Qingshan felt quite uncomfortable. Originally, he wanted to show himself, but he didn't show it now, and he was ashamed in front of Erfang and Jiang's family.

Because there was another Xue Juncai in the car, no one spoke on the road. The mule cart soon arrived at Huyang Town, heading east of the town all the way, and Jiang Wu stopped in front of the Qinghe Academy.

Jiang Wu never waited to see the eldest family member of the Xue family, so he didn't offer to help.

Mrs. Yang prepared a lot of things for Xue Juncai, two big bags, Xue Juncai went to pick up one, but it was already reluctant, but he couldn't take the second one.

He blushed and didn't ask for help.

Zhao'er couldn't stand it anymore, jumped out of the car, picked up two big bags in each hand, and went to the gate of the courtyard.

She put the two big bags in front of the door, and said to Xue Juncai who followed: "I won't send you in, you call the people inside to help. Ting'er is also waiting there, if you don't leave, it will be too late. "

Xue Juncai had mixed feelings in his heart, and looked at her: "Zhaoer, I will be admitted as a scholar."

"Yeah, work hard."

She quickly turned around and left, naturally missing Xue Juncai's eyes looking at her back.

*

The mule cart stopped in front of the Qingyuan Academy.

Unlike Xue Juncai, Jiang Wu carried a big bag, Zhao'er took a small bag, and sent Xue Tingxiang in.

All the way was led by Zhaifu to the house.

The decoration in the hall is extremely simple, it is just a Datong shop. It is divided into four positions, the table is placed along the Kang, and there are four simple wooden cabinets next to the wall, which can just sleep four people.

Because Xue Tingxiang was the first to come, Zhaifu said he could choose any local people and left. Before leaving, tell Zhao'er and Jiang Wu not to stay for long.

Zhao'er chose a position for Xue Tingxiang, which is the innermost position next to the wall, and there is a window next to it, which has good ventilation and light.

She opened the big bag and laid the kang for Xue Tingxiang.

Jiang Wu wanted to help, but Xue Tingxiang preempted him.

The two of them joined hands to make the shop ready, and it was obvious that this was not the first time for the two of them to do this, and they had a tacit understanding.

Jiang Wu looked at it with eager eyes.

Xue Tingxiang glanced at him, then went to help Zhao'er organize other things.

Zhao'er opened the wooden cabinet, reached out to touch it, and wiped the inside very clean. She put all the clothes and things in, and when she closed the cabinet door, she saw a lock on it, and said, "I'll go buy you a lock later, and lock the cabinet when I'm not around."

After everything is done, Zhao'er and Jiang Wu should also leave.

At the door, Xue Tingxiang pulled Zhao'er aside and said, "Don't forget that you are a man!"

"Why are you talking about this again?"

"Don't worry about it, you just remember anyway." Xue Tingxiang originally wanted to tell Zhao'er to stay away from Jiang Wu, but suddenly changed his mind. He could see that Zhao'er still didn't know Jiang Wu's feelings for her.

If you don't know, then don't know, it's better not to know all the time.

"Okay, okay, I see, you can study at ease."

Xue Tingxiang pursed his lips: "I will tell my husband to go back when I have time. You should watch the door at home and don't go out at night."

"With Heizi here, are you still afraid that someone will eat me?" Besides, she also knows a few kung fu skills, which Zhao'er learned from the Jiang family's father and son when she was a child, plus her strength is stronger than ordinary people, which is normal anyway. The one or two big guys in the house are really no match for her.

"Anyway, I said it, you just remember it."

"Okay, okay, I see."

Zhao'er left quickly, and Xue Tingxiang was the only one left in the dormitory.

He paced back and forth in the dormitory for a while, and when he calmed down, he went to the common bunk, took out half-copied books and rice paper from the cabinet, spread them out on the table at the top of the kang, and copied them.

After copying for a while, someone opened the door and walked in.

"Hey, there is someone who is earlier than me!"

The person who came was a little fat man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a bag fatter than himself on his back.

Even though the weather wasn't hot yet, this man was sweating profusely. Panting, he put the big bag on the bunk, and then slumped on the Kang.

"Hey new here, what's your name?"
