Chapter 61 Zhong Lan is pregnant
一
Pan sent someone to inform the security chief about Shen Feng's promise to be Mr. Qianming Village. The security chief came to the door the next day after the two settled in.

Baochang looks simple and honest, and he is an honest man.

Asked that Shen Feng was a Jinshi in the capital and wanted to stay as a teacher in the school. After receiving a positive answer, the chieftain burst into tears with excitement. He held Shen Feng's hand and did not let go. He immediately gave Shen Feng two bags of rice and noodles. He promised that he would take care of the Shen family's food, clothing, and food from now on, so he would not treat Shen Feng's family badly.

After the security guard left, Shen Feng sat in the courtyard all afternoon, as if he was coming to terms with himself.

Zhong Yan allowed himself to think deeply, and didn't bother him, he just took care of the housework quietly.

After thinking clearly, he took out the books from the camphor box that night, burned the midnight oil, put on a mouse-gray gown, straightened up his appearance, and went to school dignifiedly the next morning.

It is true that the children in Qianming Village are naughty. On the first day, more than a dozen children came, and they were all brought here by their own parents. They didn't pay much attention when they saw Shen Feng and walked around in the school.

Shen Feng was not annoyed and sat quietly on the mat reading a book.

The children running back and forth noticed that Shen Feng acted calmly, unlike the husband who ran away in anger before, and they immediately became curious.

A little boy stopped and poked Shen Fie's arm curiously: "What are you doing?"

Shen Feng looked at the book intently without raising his head: "I'm studying."

The child said: "What's so interesting about reading books?"

Shen Feng smiled: "The book tells a story about a general, I like it very much."

"The story of the general? What story?" Two more children stopped and asked curiously.

"It is said that hundreds of years ago there was a great general who was superb in martial arts and heroic. He could steal the heads of enemy generals from thousands of miles away. He fought many victorious battles for the country. He also married a princess and became famous all over the world." Shen Feng spoke in an ups and downs tone. It's so vividly told.

Several children stopped and came to Shen Feng's side, blinking curiously: "Then what?"

"Later, the emperor took the military power, and he was punished to go back to his hometown. He died in depression, and soon his country was destroyed by a more powerful country." Shen Yan sighed regretfully.

The children frowned when they heard this: "Why?"

Shen Feng smiled and was about to speak, but then waved his hand: "You don't study and can't learn knowledge and principles. What I tell you is useless."

The children became anxious instantly.

An older child sneered: "Didn't you just make up a story for us to read? We won't be fooled by you."

Shen Feng met the child's eyes.

Shen Feng's eyes were deep, and the child felt a little guilty after being stared at, so he turned his head away.

"You dare not look at me, is it because I am an adult?"

"Who said that, I'm not even afraid of the security chief!" the child argued.

"What's the reason?" Shen Feng smiled gently.

A little girl timidly said: "Your eyes."

"My eyes?" Shen Feng pretended to be surprised, pointed to his own eyes, and then asked the little girl, "What's wrong with my eyes?"

"It looks like a hole, and there is something in the hole." The little girl said her most simple feeling.

Shen Feng smiled knowingly: "That general had no martial arts skills, but he was born as a farmer, didn't know how to adapt, and didn't understand the principles of being an official. As a result, he was bitten in front of the monarch and was jealous of him, so he was dismissed from office and rushed back to his hometown. .”

"Actually, you probably rarely go out of the village to have a look." Shen Feng gently touched the little girl's head.

"The outside world is very big. There are princes, generals, and noble ladies. There are many stories, big and small, and there are many truths waiting for you to understand."

"I am sitting here just to push you to look further and to lead you to be a wise governor. I will not only work for my own one-third of an acre of land throughout my life, but also to set my sights further."

Shen Feng paused: "I guess the only person in this village who has read a book is the chief security officer."

Seeing no one refuted, Shen Feng said again: "If you study, you can also be a security chief, a county magistrate, or even a general. Then you can seek justice for the injustice suffered by your parents. Now you are being unfair. , you can only yell and fight to relieve your anger. If you alarm the official, you can only pay money and apologize. If you understand the truth, your words will have more weight. My parents at home will also benefit from it."

Shen Yan modestly impresses them with the most understandable truths that are closest to children.

Sure enough, the children were silent, as if they were thinking about something.

"What if, even if you study, you still can't become an official?" The child who was unconvinced just now softened his tone and asked carefully.

"Others can take away your identity, your status, the clothes on your body, and the food you are about to eat, but they will never take away the knowledge in your head." Shen Feng laughed, "At worst, you will be like me. It's easier to be a private school teacher, do namasha and receive the courtesy of the village than to go to the fields to be exposed to the wind and sun."

Several children stopped talking and looked at Shen Feng.

"It's time for you to call me sir." Shen Yan said with a smile.

"gentlemen."

"gentlemen."

Shen Feng taught quietly in Qianming Village, and some of the naughty children improved and gradually became famous.

More and more children are entering the school. He teaches casually and humorously, unlike Zhang Jue, who is as rigid as Zhang Jue. He is very popular among children.

Soon it was the end of the year, and the villagers were very grateful to Shen Feng when they saw their children starting to greet them with greetings. They sent rice noodles, New Year's goods, firecrackers and red paper to the Shen family.

"Mr. Shen is the only person in our village besides the chief security officer who can write. Please write a couplet for our family to make him happy." said Zuo's eldest daughter-in-law, who lives at the end of the village.

"Yes, sir, we used to put up red paper to celebrate the New Year, but my son said that these couplets are all about being inside. Please sir, please write a proper couplet for our family." Uncle Kuang also smiled and handed the basket full of eggs to Jiang Liu.

"Shen Feng can't thank you enough for your care and concern for my family these days. Although Shen Feng is disrespectful of your kindness, I will write it down for you." Shen Feng took the red paper with both hands and bowed to everyone one by one.

When spring came, Zhong Lan opened a piece of land in his yard, borrowed some vegetable seeds from his neighbors, and planted some with Chang Huan and Chang Yu to improve food.

Zhong Lan is naturally good at cooking fruits and vegetables, and with his experience, he will also help the villagers take care of their crops.

There was little rain at the beginning of the year and there was a severe drought. The seeds planted in the fields did not germinate, and the wells on the fields dried up and had no water.The security chief and the villagers were anxious to find the half-immortal to pray for rain. It was Zhong Lan who led Jiangliu Jiangchuan to find a spring on the mountain, and led it down the mountain to quench his thirst. Later, he dug out well water at the foot of the mountain according to the location of the spring. .

Everyone in Qianming Village praised this capable Mrs. Zhong.

The school was less than a hundred meters away from the Shen family yard, so Shen Feng left Jiangliu and Jiangchuan at home to help chop wood, boil water, and do some physical work.

In addition to going up the mountain to cut firewood, Jiangliu Jiangchuan sometimes went to Fenghuang Mountain to hunt some game.Chang Huan and others helped Zhong Lan with the fruits and vegetables at home.

Quan Bao, the youngest, was unable to help with physical exercises most of the time. Seeing his cleverness, Zhong Lan asked Shen Feng to take him to school to learn some knowledge.

Shen Feng did as he was told, but found that Quan Bao was extremely intelligent, a good student, and became more attentive to his studies.

The family's life is tight but contented.

Zhong Lan also painted some landscape paintings in his spare time. When he hung them in the courtyard, the security guard saw them. He was greatly surprised and asked if he could sell them.

Once he heard that he could make money by selling paintings, Zhong Lan quickly agreed.Baochang didn't say anything, and even agreed with Zhong Lan on a profit of thirty-seven cents.

Zhonglan had some accomplishments in painting, and the landscapes he painted were lifelike, which was unexpectedly in short supply in the royal capital.

Life at home is finally a little better off, and the food is getting better.

The Taiming Shen family and Wenshu Wenyi contacted the two through Pan. They felt sorry for their situation and wanted to help, but Zhong Lan and Shen Feng refused because they were afraid of harming them.

As the weather got warmer, the two of them resumed their previous habit of drinking tea and sunbathing in the courtyard, which was ordinary and satisfying.

One day, Shen Feng took Quan Bao to the school to teach. Zhong Lan asked Chang Huan and others to accompany Bao Zhang into the city to sell paintings. Rivers and rivers went up the mountains to cut firewood and hunt, while he stayed at home pulling weeds in the vegetable field.

"I didn't expect you to end up in such a predicament." A somewhat familiar male voice sounded from outside Chaimen.

Zhong Lan looked up blankly, straightened up, and saw a man in a black cloak standing outside Chaimen. He asked curiously: "I wonder who you are?"

"Ms. Zhong is so forgetful." The man took off his hat, and a familiar face came into Zhong Yan's eyes.

It's You Hanting.

Zhong Lan subconsciously took a step back: "Why are you here?"

"Why, Mrs. Zhong has moved to a new residence, so she won't let old acquaintances come to visit?" You Hanting said in a relaxed tone, but without any smile on his face, he opened the ajar door and walked in.

Zhong Lan put the sickle in his hand in front of him: "Master You came all the way from Wuding, isn't it just that simple?"

"I've been promoted." You Hanting sat on the stone bench, minding his own business. "On the fifteenth day of next month, I will be promoted to the sixth rank. I will serve as deputy historian of the Southern Supervisory and Defense History, and assist the governor Zhang Yan in supervising the creation of Danzhou. South Great Wall.”

"Congratulations, Sir You, on your promotion." Zhong Lan reluctantly blessed himself.

"Don't you have anything else to say?" You Hanting looked at Zhong Lan's nonchalant look, feeling a little annoyed.

"What do you want me to say?" Zhong Lan asked, "Master You came here to show off his power, didn't he just want to see the poor life we ​​live? Now we are living a pretty good life, Master You should leave early, so as not to worry about it. We got involved together and lost our future.”

"You were not like this before. Why are you acting like a hedgehog now?" You Hanting's eyebrows were tightly knitted into a knot.

The appearance of the young woman in front of her remains the same. She was so obedient to her in the past, but now she is so alienated.

Could it be that the childhood sweetheart relationship between the two of them was all fake?Even if she broke off the engagement for the sake of her future, why couldn't she wait a little longer? For the sake of their past friendship, she would definitely give her a status and treat her well. Why did she become so disgusted with her now? appearance?
He couldn't accept it, so he came to her desperately for an answer.

"As for those who deserve it, I don't treat my family members like this, such as my husband." Zhong Lan said frankly.

Hearing Shen Yan, You Hanting instantly had a ferocious look on his face, but he still sat upright in consideration of his dignity, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you a chance, come with me, and I'll let you live a prosperous life again." rich days."

Zhong Lan was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

You Hanting thought she was moved, and his expression softened slightly.

"Master You, do you think I am still the second girl of the Zhong family from seven years ago?"

Zhong Lan looked at You Hanting and said with a smile: "I, Zhong Lan, have a clear distinction between love and hatred, and I will never look back. Now my relationship with my husband is as strong as gold. I also ask Mr. You to let our family go and let us forget each other in the world." , let’s live quietly with each other.”

You Hanting was heartbroken and said with hatred: "Don't regret it."

"I will never regret anything I, Zhong Lan, have done or said." Zhong Lan fixedly looked at You Hanting.

After You Hanting left, Zhong Lan closed the chaimen and continued his work.

After a while, Shen Feng opened the door.

Seeing that he was alone, Zhong Lan couldn't help but ask: "Where is Quan Bao?"

"He did his homework well today. I allowed him to go up the mountain to learn archery from Jiang Chuan." After Shen Feng put down the book box, he stepped forward and took the sickle from Zhong Lan's hand and started mowing the grass.

Seeing Shen Feng's clumsy look, Zhong Lan laughed out loud: "You have never done such rough work. Let me do it."

Zhong Yan took the hoe from Shen Yan's hand with a smile, "You go back to the house first. The porridge on the stove is almost ready, if you are tired, eat first."

Shen Feng refused, and humbly asked for advice: "Teach me, and I can help you take care of it in the future."

"Your hands are for writing articles." Zhong Lan glanced at his muddy hands, "You should stop doing this dirty work."

"You can do it, but I can't?" Shen Feng held Zhong Lan's hand.

"Nonsense." Zhong Lan saw that Shen Feng's fair and slender fingers were also stained with mud. He was anxious and wanted to break away. Suddenly his vision went dark and he fell into Shen Feng's arms.

Shen Feng was shocked: "Lian Niang? Lian Niang!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Feng picked up Zhong Lan and ran as hard as he could to the village hospital.

Zhong Lan woke up leisurely and found that he was in his own home. The person who caught his eye was Chang Huan.

"Girl? The girl is awake? Uncle, the girl is awake!" Chang Huan was surprised.

Shen Feng on the side quickly stepped forward, took Shen Feng's hand, and said happily: "Mother, how do you feel now?"

Zhong Lan was full of questions: "What's wrong with me?"

"We are all going to be mothers, why are we still so careless?" came Pan's voice.

"Ms. Pan?" Zhong Lan watched Mrs. Pan enter the door and ordered Huayi to bring the medicine.

"Thankfully, I went to Linjiao Mountain to worship Buddha today and wanted to come and see you. Because I was afraid that something would happen to you, Mr. Shen would cry anxiously." Pan joked to Shen Fie and pointed to the medicine in Huayi's hand, "Quickly Just drink the anti-fetal medicine. I’ll leave the rest of the donkey-hide gelatin for you and let Chang Huan stew it for you to eat.”

"Yes." Chang Huan replied happily.

"Antinatal pills?" Zhong Lan still didn't respond.

"You are two months pregnant." Mrs. Pan looked at Zhong Lan's confused look, hating that iron could not make steel.

"Pregnant?" Zhong Lan was startled and touched his belly.

"You are strong. You fainted this time because of fatigue. You must be careful in the future."

Pan looked at Shen Feng with an angry smile: "Your wife is not careful, and you, the husband-in-law, are also to blame."

Shen Feng fed Zhong Lan the anti-fetal medicine with his own hands, put down the bowl, blamed himself and smiled lightly: "It's my fault."

Pan looked at the two people in front of her and sighed: "Nowadays, the war in the southwest is tense, Brother Zhu can't get away, my officials are supervising the construction of the Great Wall in Danzhou, and the marriage between Brother Zhu and Wen Shu has been postponed again and again. Damn it, when can I enjoy the blessing of being a grandmother?"

Zhong Lan smiled: "Madam Pan is a sincere person. God knows that she will not let Madam Pan wait too long."

"I like to hear what Mrs. Zhong says." Mrs. Pan suddenly beamed.
