"Okay," Meiya nodded, and sat on a stone by the lake. Watching Chen Qingxuan take off his shoes and socks, then stepping on the water and walking over to pick reeds, "Slow down. Don't go inside."
"Understood, don't worry. Every Dragon Boat Festival. I come here to pick reed leaves, and I'm very skilled," Chen Qingxuan smiled at Meiya. While quickly picking the reed leaves, he continued to babble, "This is close to Jixian Bookstore. Just send the reed leaves to the private school in a while."
Spring plowing is over. The private school will resume classes again, and Chen Qingxuan and Grandma Chen will move back to Jixian Bookstore tomorrow.
"Yes, I see." Meiya turned her head to look at Jixian Bookstore not far away. His eyes moved a little bit along the mountain road. Finally, it was fixed on a green branch and green leaf on the mountainside. She stared blankly, then silently moved her eyes away.
"Girl. Are you coming back to the private school with us?" Chen Qingxuan murmured in his heart, and after holding back for a long time, he finally asked.
Meiya lowered her eyes. Randomly pulling the grass in front of him, he nodded for a long time.
Chen Qingxuan's heart suddenly loosened, but then it was pulled together again. He put the reed leaves on the shore, looked at Meiya, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, if you don't want to, you can live in my house. I'll let grandma stay with you. I'm alone at the private school." People are fine, when the time comes..."
"Mr. Chen, thank you for being so considerate for me, but..." Meiya looked up at Chen Qingxuan, and said with some difficulty, "Mr. Chen, can you teach me how to read? I also want to learn how to play chess."
"Okay, what's wrong?" Chen Qingxuan was startled, then smiled, "I didn't expect to be a teacher for so many years, but I was honored to accept a female student, but I don't know that I, a teacher, can You can’t teach a female champion.”
"Mr. Chen, you're making fun of me again," Meiya pursed her lips and smiled, then stopped laughing, and said in a low voice, "How can I have that kind of ability? I don't have that kind of promise either."
Chen Qingxuan looked at Meiya's appearance, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, he turned around and continued to pick two handfuls of reed leaves, and finally picked them, Meiya went over and put the reed leaves into the bamboo basket , while stretching out his hand towards Chen Qingxuan: "Come on, I'll pull you up."
Chen Qingxuan looked at the hand that was handed to him, and was a little dazed. This hand looked very slender and fair, but when he looked closely, he could clearly see the roughness of the back of the hand and calluses of various sizes on the palm. Unspeakably distressed, even a girl from an ordinary family would definitely not have such hands, Chen Qingxuan stretched out his hand to hold Meiya's hand, while looking up at Meiya's immature and lonely face, even more so. It was unbearably distressed, he was so busy that he lowered his head, and managed to get ashore with Meiya's strength, while trying to force a smile: "Young girl is really strong."
"That's the only way I've got a good idea." Meiya curled her lips in a self-deprecating manner, and carried the bamboo basket behind her back.
"Girl, what do you think is capable and promising?" Chen Qingxuan suddenly grabbed Meiya's hand, and with strength in his hand, he forced Meiya to turn around.
"Mr. Chen..." Meiya looked at Chen Qingxuan helplessly, and wanted to shake off his hand, but no matter how strong Meiya was, she couldn't compare with an adult man, and she didn't shake it a few times After opening, he stopped moving, frowned and looked at Chen Qingxuan, and when he spoke again, his tone was not very good, "Mr. Chen, let me go."
Chen Qingxuan immediately let go of Meiya, but the seriousness on his face did not diminish at all: "Girl, in your heart, is it possible to be successful only if you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and Fu? Illiterate people like you Those who work hard are worthless?"
"Isn't it?" Meiya poked her neck and asked Chen Qingxuan, she didn't know why Chen Qingxuan insisted on poking her sore spots, she gritted her teeth and spoke out in hatred.
"Then let me tell you, my grandma has worked so hard for so many years to bring me up, and she has never let me go hungry or cold. In the past, she planted ten acres of land by herself. I am motivated by studying, do you think my grandma is capable?" Chen Qingxuan said every word seriously, looking at Meiya's red eyes, but he didn't stop, and said down, "Let's talk You, a sixteen-year-old girl, insisted on taking good care of a half-dead paralyzed man in a desolate place like Ningguta. Seeing that the former cripple is almost able to walk now, tell me what you mean Isn't that a promising one?"
