Chapter 004 Thank you for your hard work, my wife
Zhou Chong stopped.
As we all know, some things are done on impulse, but it is difficult to have the urge to do them again.
Shan Qingshan: "I haven't learned this English word. From the pronunciation, it should be g, a, y. What does it mean?"
At this moment, Zhou Chong felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
"I'm a virgin."
Shan Qingshan took out a small notebook from his pocket to take notes.
Zhou Chong was horrified and covered his hand.
"So... don't remember this, right?"
[Virgin? Do you want to listen to what you are saying? ]
[You had the courage to say it just now, do you dare to let go now? ]
[The Ministry of Education included this word in the examination syllabus overnight]
[Don't be scared, let him remember! Let him remember! I can't wait for the day when Qingshan Xiaobao knows the real meaning! ]
[I want to see it too, is there anyone kind enough to tell him! ]
[A baby who loves to study, always carries a vocabulary book with him! He must be a top student, right? But you still don’t need to remember this word, hahaha]
…
Zhou Chong and Shan Qingshan walked to the door of their house.
A silver-haired old man stood there holding the door frame.
"Xiaobao, are you going to be on TV?"
Shan Qingshan hurried forward and supported grandma, "Grandma, why did you get out of bed?"
"Who's that guy behind?"
Zhou Chong strode forward and said, "Hello, grandma. I was arranged by the program team to live in your house. My name is Zhou Chong."
"Living in my house? That would be unfair to you."
"No, I think this place is great. You don't need to prepare a separate bed for me. Qingshan Xiaobao and I can just squeeze in."
Grandma keenly captured the four words "Qingshan Xiaobao".
He smiled, "It's good to have friends. Grandma is a burden to you. You don't even have any friends here."
"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. I'll help you go back and rest."
Grandma walked in, trembling, "It's so cold, you should put on more clothes."
"I see."
Shan Qingshan helped his grandmother into the house and laid her down before bringing Zhou Chong in.
Although the house is shabby, it is well organized and clean.
There are also flowers in grandma's house, of unknown name, placed in a vase, blooming in this shabby little house, as if they are struggling to grow out of the cracks in the rocks, full of vitality.
Grandma looked unwell and seemed to be in poor health.
Qingshan Xiaobao takes care of the household.
Zhou Chong guessed that in his previous life, Qingshan Xiaobao would sign a contract with an entertainment company and agree to record the show in this life, all for his grandmother's health.
Zhou Chong had never seen his grandmother before.
His grandmother must have passed away before he met Qingshan Xiaobao.
Zhou Chong looked towards Shan Qingshan.
He bent over and spoke softly to his grandmother with a gentle look on his face.
With such a thin body, he supports this family.
I really want to pack Qingshan Xiaobao and get in the car right now, and take grandma to the big city to live a good life! Don't suffer here!
Now Qingshan Xiaobao is not familiar with him and will definitely not accept it.
It was too presumptuous of him to bring it up as soon as he entered the door.
Wait a moment.
Now that he is here, Qingshan Xiaobao will not suffer.
Only after entering Shan Qingshan's house did Zhou Chong understand what the phrase "put two more pieces of clothing" meant.
There were two quilts on the bed, with an old military coat on top.
They have no quilt.
Zhou Chong felt like there was something stuck in his throat and wanted to cry again.
He felt so distressed.
Shan Qingshan was completely unaware. "You will sleep with me tonight. Do you have a pillow? I don't have an extra pillow."
"I brought it."
Zhou Chong was afraid that Shan Qingshan would see his red eyes, so he ran out quickly, dragged the luggage off the cart, quickly wiped his eyes with his arm, squatted on the ground, opened the luggage bag, and took out two quilts and three pillows.
Zhou Chong: "I don't dislike this place." I just want to give you good things.
Zhou Chong lied, "I am more prone to allergies."
Shan Qingshan: "Did you bring the bed sheets?"
"No."
"Since you brought a blanket, sleep separately from me at night."
Zhou Chong immediately said: "No!"
Shan Qingshan looked at him.
Zhou Chong: “…”
In the previous life, I was chased to the next room by Qingshan Xiaobao, and it became a conditioned reflex.
Zhou Chong explained: "This is down, and it will be extra warm if you put a blanket of cotton on it. I'll give one to grandma, and the other one will be used by both of us."
When it comes to grandma, we have to mention Shan Qingshan.
He nodded.
When grandma got the new quilt, she thanked Zhou Chong again and again.
Zhou Chong felt mixed emotions.
Shan Qingshan asked him what he wanted to eat, and Zhou Chong said noodles.
Shan Qingshan made him a bowl of noodles and beat two eggs.
Zhou Chong couldn't help with the big pot on the rural earthen stove and could only flatter from the side.
As soon as the noodles were served on the table, Zhou Chong couldn't help but his eyes turned red and tears were about to fall.
He was afraid of being seen, so he quickly buried his head in eating noodles.
Shan Qingshan was surprised, "No one is competing with you for it."
"I'm hungry." Zhou Chong paused, his voice trembling a little, "You still cook the best."
Shan Qingshan didn't notice that his voice was trembling, he just thought that Zhou Chong was the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
"Is it enough to eat?"
"enough."
Shan Qingshan: "Don't call me Qingshan Xiaobao anymore."
I don't know where this name came from.
"Why?"
"We are not familiar with each other."
Zhou Chong raised his head and smiled at him, "Then you can call tomorrow, right?"
We will be familiar with it tomorrow.
"what ever."
After eating the noodles, Zhou Chong took the initiative to take on the job of washing the dishes. It took him a long time to finish washing the dishes.
As soon as I went out, I saw Shan Qingshan cutting vegetables on an old stove outside.
The sleeves were rolled up, and the thin white wrist was exposed to the cold wind. There was a scabbed abrasion on it.
Zhou Chong stepped forward and said, "I'll help you."
"You won't."
Zhou Chong: "If you don't know how, you can learn. What's the point of cutting it?"
“Feed the pigs.”
"Pig? Lunar New Year pig? I saw on my phone that many places have the custom of killing Lunar New Year pigs."
Shan Qingshan is so small and has such thin wrists, and he has to do farm work and feed pigs at home.
So hard.
Shan Qingshan paused in his cutting motion, did not answer, and found another knife for Zhou Chong. The two of them gathered around the earthen stove to cut vegetables. With one more person, it was much faster.
After cutting the vegetables, Zhou Chong took the initiative to carry the vegetable bucket.
Shan Qingshan stopped him, "You can't lift it."
"I lift weights every day, and ordering food like this..."
Zhou Chong picked it up.
The vegetable barrel trembled slightly as a sign of respect.
Zhou Chong doubted his life.
If you don’t believe it, try again.
This time he picked it up, but only took two steps.
Shan Qingshan pushed him away and carried him away with some force.
Zhou Chong stood there, feeling mixed emotions and wanting to cry again. He calmed himself down and cursed himself in a low voice, "I'm so useless!"
Then quickly follow up to help feed the pigs.
The person who was talking a lot just now is now silent.
After feeding the pigs, Shan Qingshan left with the empty bucket.
Zhou Chong moved his lips and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words and trotted a few steps to catch up with Shan Qingshan and pick up the empty bucket.
"It's too full for me to carry, but I can make two trips."
Shan Qingshan turned his head to look at him, then looked away after a moment and said "hmm" softly.
After feeding the pigs, Shan Qingshan went to boil hot water to wash his face and soak his feet.
Zhou Chong was helping on the side.
After everything was packed up, Shan Qingshan stood beside the bed and asked him.
"Do you want to sleep inside or outside?"
The light was dim and there were textbooks on the table.
Zhou Chong's heartache overflowed from his red eyes.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He added quietly in his mind, "Wife."

Shan Qingshan: This was the first time that anyone other than my grandma said to me, "Thank you for your hard work."
