Chapter 12 Reading and Writing

Nan Chu was very excited when he heard that Su Yuan bought a house in Qinghe Town.

He had rarely left the village before, but he didn't expect that he would have to live in the town every day in the future.

When he heard that Su Yuan bought cloth for him, he was touched, but also felt that it was a bit wasteful. It would be enough for him to have enough clothes to wear, but his wife would need a lot of money to go to school in the future.

However, he didn't say these words, because his wife was still chattering in his ears and never stopped.

Finally, Su Yuan said that he could open a shop in the future and make money for the family. Nan Chu's eyes lit up:

"Wife, does it cost a lot of money to open a shop?"

Seeing that Nan Chu was actually interested in doing business, Su Yuan raised an eyebrow and explained to him:

"Don't waste it. If business is good, you can earn more. I'm mainly worried that you don't have anyone you know in town and you'll get bored at home every day."

"Besides, Dad has been busy for half his life, and now he is not allowed to do anything. I am afraid that he will be reluctant to leave the two acres of land in the village. It is so far away, and it is not easy for him to come back every day to farm."

However, these have to wait until Father Su recovers. Today, she asked Doctor You, who said that ginseng chicken soup is a tonic, so she will give it to Father Su every day to nourish his body.

Nan Chu stole a glance at Su Yuan, and mustered up the courage to ask what was in his mind:

"Wife, if I open a shop with Daddy and show my face outside, will you feel that I am not being faithful to my husband and don't want Nan Chu?"

Su Yuan shook his head in amusement:

"This idea was proposed by your wife. Do you think I would dislike it? Our Nanchu is so well-behaved and sensible, how can she be described as unfaithful to her husband?"

"Don't worry, you will always be a little cutie in my wife's heart."

Nan Chu was so touched by Su Yuan's sweet words that her heart was filled with sweetness and her eyes were full of stars.

It turns out that he is so good to his wife. The day before yesterday, his wife wanted him to leave, but he thought that his wife particularly disliked him.

Nan Chu was coaxed so much that her head was dizzy. She didn't even think about it. She just turned sideways and buried her head in Su Yuan's arms like she did yesterday.

My heart was trembling, and the only thing in my mind was that my wife said he was well-behaved and a little cutie.

Su Yuan was held in Nan Chu's arms like a piglet. She was surprised at first, then she curled her lips and put her arms around him.

She looked down at the little head in her arms and asked gently:

"What's wrong? Are you shy because of the compliment?"

Nan Chu came back to his senses when he heard Su Yuan's voice, but he kept his head down and dared not come out.

Shouted in my heart:

Oh my God, he actually got into his wife's arms while she was awake. What should he do now?

Otherwise, just pretend to be asleep.

"Nanchu, Nanchu?"

Su Yuan called out twice in a low voice, and seeing that no one responded, he continued:

"Oh, I guess he fell asleep. If that's the case, then I'll go to bed too. I have to get up early to study tomorrow!"

After saying that, Su Yuan closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing as if he was falling asleep.

Nan Chu, hiding in her arms, felt happy when she heard that Su Yuan fell asleep so quickly again.

His wife was fooled by him, and now he was the only one sober, so it wasn't embarrassing at all.

He moved his body and leaned closer to Su Yuan's arms, with the corners of his lips raised, and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Yuan held the little cutie in her arms tightly, and followed him to empty her mind and fall asleep.

Dawn gradually broke, the pale blue sky was studded with a few remaining stars, and the earth was hazy, as if covered with a silver-gray veil.

Su Yuan got up early today. Nan Chu went to the kitchen to cook porridge and heat up buns, and she sat by the window to study a book.

From the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic that are used for children's enlightenment to the Four Books and Five Classics that are must-reads for scholars.

As well as Fengqi article standards, ancient poetry interpretations, ancient prose explanations, and hundreds of articles on the writing styles of famous Confucian scholars of the time.

In short, she planned to remember everything in her mind, and if there was anything she didn't understand, she would ask the teacher later.

Nan Chu prepared the meal, put the big buns and white porridge on the table, came in and called Su Yuan in a low voice:

"Wife, stop reading and come over for breakfast."

Su Yuan heard the voice and was distracted from the book. She put down the book in her hand and nodded:

"Okay, got it, I'll be right there."

After breakfast.

Su Yuan went into the bedroom to continue reading. He also moved a desk and occasionally copied the calligraphy of famous people.

Her calligraphy is not very good, but hard work can make up for lack of talent. She just needs more practice.

"The wife."

Nan Chu came in again, this time with a wooden ruler in his hand. He looked at Su Yuan and said embarrassedly:

"Excuse me for bothering you again. I need to take your measurements and start making new clothes in a moment."

After hearing this, Su Yuan suddenly realized that she had asked Nan Chu to make a cotton robe for her yesterday, but she hadn't measured the size yet.

So I put down my pen, strode over, opened my arms and cooperated:

"Come on, measure it. I'm ready."

"Yeah." Nan Chu nodded, first used a strip of cloth to measure Su Yuan's waist and shoulder width, and then used a wooden ruler to compare the sizes.

Finally it was his turn to check his bra size. His eyes were wandering, his face was flushed with shame, and even his hands were shaking.

Nan Chu forced himself to straighten his expression and stammered:

"Wife, yes, or you can come."

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw this. Is he shy?

So I agreed: "Okay, I'll measure it myself."

After she reported her chest size, Nan Chu lowered his head, picked up his tools and was about to flee the scene, but was stopped by Su Yuan:

"etc."

He turned around in confusion, wondering what his wife wanted to say.

Su Yuan continued:

"Don't forget to make ginseng chicken soup for Dad. I've already cut the ginseng into slices. For the chicken, use the pheasant that I prepared the day before yesterday."

"By the way, remember to use a whole chicken. You are too thin. You can eat with daddy in the future to replenish your body."

After she finished speaking, she glanced up and down at Nan Chu.

He is as thin as a stick and I’m afraid he will fall down if the wind blows.

Since Nan Chu's parents were willing to sell their children, they must not value him and did not feed him well at home.

"Oh, okay."

Nan Chu nodded obediently without refutation, but looked down at his body.

I thought to myself, does my wife think he is too thin?

Then he must eat more in the future, become plump and white, and grow up to be the type his wife likes.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Su Yuan didn't say anything, Nan Chu asked tentatively:

"Wife, I'm out then?"

Su Yuan nodded: "Well, go ahead and get busy."

After Nan Chu left, she continued to bury herself in books, studying hard and practicing calligraphy diligently.
