I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times

Chapter 27: Read Letters & War

Seeing him touching his face, Qu Qing hurriedly stopped him and subconsciously said, "Don't touch it with your hands, there are a lot of bacteria on your hands."

"Bacteria?" Not only was Hua Zizhou confused, but several others looked at him with incomprehensible eyes.

Qu Qing remembered that they were ancients, and after a while, he explained: "It's just that your hands are very dirty, if you always touch your face, the bad things on it will be infected on your face, and your face should be carefully protected. ."

Speaking of this topic, he asked curiously, "How long has your face been like this?"

Hua Zizhou turned his face slightly and replied, "It's probably been a year or two. I wasn't like this before, I just don't know why..."

Qu Qing felt that his mood was a little low, so he comforted: "It's okay, but it's just acne, I've had it before, and most people will go through this period, so they have to insist on treatment, take good care of it, and it will be better soon. Yes, it's not a terminal illness."

Jiang Orion also interjected: "I've seen people grow older, isn't this going to get better when they're old?"

"That's too careless, my mother... My mother told me since I was a child that the face is the face of a person, so you must take good care of it."

Hua Zizhou didn't want to be treated, he lowered his head and said: "The doctor said that it can be treated, but it needs a lot of money to drink medicine, so let's forget it..."

"How can this be forgotten?" Qu Qing said to him with a serious face, "You spend money when you spend it, and those unqualified people in the province always attack you with your appearance. Is there a doctor in the village that you can see? ?"

In fact, a few days after I came to this world, I occasionally encountered children who were playing wildly in the mountains and fields. When those children saw Hua Zizhou, they kept pointing at his appearance and calling him ugly. He would keep his head down and follow behind him without saying a word. He didn't have the ferocity of beating people in the middle of the night. He looked quite pitiful. The kitten would always cry because of the popularity. Although Qu Qing would drive those children away. , but in any case, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Hua Zizhou didn't expect him to be very decisive, and answered uncertainly, "Yes..."

"That's great, I'll go back to the doctor in the evening and ask how much it costs." Qu Qingda had the attitude of going as soon as he said it.

Hua Zizhou was a little unsure, but seeing Qu Qing's appearance, he felt that Qu Qing was really willing to spend money for him.

Jiang Orion on the side heard their conversation and said to Hua Zizhou jokingly: "Brother Qu Qing is so kind to you."

Hua Zizhou was a little shy, and glanced at Qu Qing quietly. When Qu Qing looked back at him, he quickly looked away.

Jiang Orion looked at Hua Zizhou, recalled his terrible appearance that night, and thought complicatedly in his heart: This person usually looks like an ordinary brother who is weak and weak and has no offensive power, but he didn't expect that in private...

It's been a day, and he is still complicated, but in fact, thanks to Hua Zizhou, he knows what he should do.

This afternoon, Hua Zizhou was full of expectations that his face would be completely better, and Qu Qing would also like his appearance, but he was afraid that the money for medicine would be too much, and the family couldn't afford it.

For Qu Qing, this is just a small episode, and the important thing right now is to get the farming done.

After Jiang Orion joined in, the efficiency of work has doubled visibly to the naked eye. If it goes well, one mu of potatoes can be planted today.

Several people sweated for a while, and when they were tired and resting, they saw the village chief pulling a cow not far away, followed by the sound of a young man carrying a plow, greeting them from a distance.

"Qu Qing, I said it's been three days since you were a child. Didn't I ask you to borrow a plow? I saw that you wouldn't come, so I asked my son to bring it to your house."

Qu Qing was flattered and said: "Village Chief, you are too polite. I thought that your house should not be used up, so I plan to ask again tomorrow."

"It's okay, I brought it to you today, you can use it, and by the way, you can plow another mu of land in your family." After talking to him, the village chief said hello to Jiang Hunter, and then pulled Guo Niu tied it to the tree first, and pulled Qu Qing aside by himself.

"Actually, I'm here today, not only to deliver cattle, but also to ask for your help with another matter."

Qu Qing thought to himself, no wonder the village chief is so enthusiastic, but looking at it this way, I am afraid it is not a small job, but he probably cannot refuse, because he really needs a cow: "The village chief, you are really too polite. , what can I do for you, just speak up."

"That's right," the village chief took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Qu Qing, "this is a letter from my eldest son who has served in the military for 20 years. In the past, when he sent a letter, I would always walk on the road. Going to the town all day and night to ask the gentleman to know what is written in the letter, but now there is a literate person in the village, so I came to ask you, saving me a day and a night of effort, and also helping you by the way. Busy, isn't it the best of both worlds."

Qu Qing thought that the village chief was too good at talking. No wonder he was able to stand out as the village chief in this village. After saying yes, he typed the letter and read it. The village chief looked at him eagerly: "What is written in the letter?"

After reading it, Qu Qing said with a smile: "In the letter, he said that the war has completely ended. If everything goes well, he will be able to come back in two months, so don't worry about it."

The village chief took out his pipe, rolled up the dry cigarette, lit a fire stick and took a deep breath, and said three times in a row: "It's good that you can come back safe and sound, thank you, Qu Qing, this is a **** war. It's finally over, it's over."

Qu Qing didn't know that there was a war here. In fact, he felt that the war was very far away from him, but judging from what the village chief said just now and the information he had learned in the letter, it seemed that the country where he was in this world had already started. It was a war that lasted no less than twenty years, and Hua Zizhou's father seemed to have died in the battle, but other than that, he didn't know anything about it.

The village chief looked a little sad, and Qu Qing wanted to know more information, so he said, "Yeah, this battle has been fought for too long, and I don't know how many people died, it's amazing that Ling Lang is still alive. Blessed."

Jiang Orion next to him also said with a bit of emotion: "Yeah, it's almost thirty years, and it's good to be alive."

The village chief exhaled a mouthful of blue smoke, which slowly floated upwards, blocking a thin wisp of smoke in front of his eyes, making the person look a lot older: "Yes, it's a great blessing to be alive, pitiful. Two of my four sons died, and the two dead don't even know where their bones were buried, and I don't even know if they were buried properly, and whether the bones were eaten by wild animals..."

Having said this, he sighed and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve: "Oh, even if I am like this, it is already good, at least I have two more, and some people in the village are dead men. Well, that would be miserable."

Qu Qing did not expect it to be so tragic, and he asked hesitantly, "In our village... did a lot of people die?"

"Of course, at least half of the males are dead, Huagou'er... Ah, now it's time to call Hua Zizhou, Hua Zizhou's father, when he was recruited, their eldest son was only ten years old. , the youngest was still breastfeeding, and Hua Zizhou couldn't even walk as I remembered at the time, so as soon as I left, the people were gone, and three months later, the government sent a piece of clothes back,

Their whole family relies on his mother to pull seven or eight people alone, and they are so tired that they vomit blood and dare not stop working for a day. Not only his family, which other family has not received the clothes of the dead from the government? In fact, the only family in the entire village where no one died on the battlefield is your family, Qu Qing, but your father spent a lot of money to get through the relationship. Now the rest of the village are either old, weak, sick and disabled women like me, or children who were bare-ass back then. "

After listening to Qu Qing, the expression on his face was complicated and surprised. He didn't expect this village to be so miserable, and when he saw Hua Zizhou's mother for the first time, he simply thought she was a very heartless woman. , but I didn't expect her to suffer so much.

When Hua Zizhou heard this, he, who had been silent, asked in surprise, "When did my mother vomit blood? Why didn't I know?"

In fact, according to the customs and rules, when the men are talking, the family members have no right to intervene, but at this time the village chief does not care about anything: "She is hiding, how dare you let the little ones know, I will see it with my own eyes. Once, that was a few years ago."

After listening to it, Hua Zizhou was silent for a long time, and he was originally blamed for being cruel, but at this time, when he heard that her mother was living so hard, the resentment in his heart dissipated five points, and the other five points were still chilling and his mother didn't care whether he lived or died. look.

The village chief continued: "Fortunately, the war ended five years ago. My eldest son and the others just followed to guard the border. Otherwise, if the fight continues, the group of children who have just grown up in our village will probably die. Alas, after chatting for a long time without realizing it, I will go home first and tell my daughter-in-law the good news of the eldest son, and I will leave the younger son here to help you, so that you will not be able to use the plow."

Qu Qing hurriedly sent him away.

After coming back, we got to know each other initially, and then started to work.

The village chief's youngest son looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. When Qu Qing asked his name, he smiled brightly and replied in a voice that was in a period of change: "You can just call me the youngest, my family is like this. Yep, I'm not an adult yet, so I don't have an official name, my father said, after a while, ask a gentleman to give me a name."

After getting in touch, Qu Qing found that he is a very sunny child, and he is also an expert at work. He is no worse than adults like them. He talks non-stop, and the movements of his hands are not messy at all. Instead, he is well-organized and chatted. After a while, he suddenly asked Hua Zizhou: "His new name sounds very nice, Brother Qu Qing, did you give it to him?"

Not far away, the kitten heard Zizhou's nice name, but didn't hear about himself, he stood up while squatting on the ground playing in the mud, carefully hanging his hands in the air, and said, "Of course, my father made it. The name is the best, Daddy's name is nice, and the name Daddy gave me is even better! My name is Qu Xin! Honest letter!"

The youngest looked at the cat with different eyes in surprise. He had only heard that his eyes were different before, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. It was really weird, and it was also the first time he heard his voice. , seeing Qu Qing around him and the others treating this child as ordinary, he didn't know whether he should talk to him or not, but looking at Qu Qing, he felt that it would be rude to ignore the child, so he Said: "It's really nice, and I also hope to have such a nice name."

"Well, you have a good eye, but I have to think carefully about asking my father to name him. After all, my father is the only literate person in the village." He raised his chest and said proudly, then turned around. Going to play their cooking game with Jiang Zhu again.

That's right, under the influence of the villagers, the favor of Qu Qing, and the education of Hua Zizhou, Xiao Quqing, although he still doesn't know what literacy is, he can fully understand that his father is a very powerful and He is a respected person, and as his father's only son, he feels that he needs to be respected by others, keep his head high, and be an upright man.

Yes, he swelled up.

Qu Qing and Hua Zizhou were immediately taken aback by his unexpected remarks from the little adults. In front of outsiders, the cat has always been afraid to see people and dare not speak. At first, people thought that was his nature. Thinking that in just a few days, he dared to speak to outsiders confidently, and even said the same words as adults. Now that I think about it, the second time I see him, I think this child is very good at talking. I am afraid this is his real character.

After being surprised, Qu Qing laughed and hugged the cat and kissed his face, and then rubbed his face hard: "Little cat, you are so cute, how can you be so cute!"

The other people also couldn't help laughing a bit, the youngest couldn't understand why, but they also laughed.

Although life is sometimes hard, it always brings happiness to people inadvertently. Qu Qing feels that having such a lovely child can soothe the tiredness of people's bodies and minds, and make people regain courage to welcome a new day.

He wondered if his mother had the same thoughts as he is now when he brought him with him back then.
