Chapter 6 The Unknown Past
Chapter 6 The Unknown Past
Before Bai Qingheng could speak, the knock on the door outside interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
Jiang Chu opened the door, it turned out to be the cook, this cook is a veteran of Jiang Chu's house, and has been at the house since he can remember.
"Auntie, what's the matter? We already had breakfast."
The cook was holding an umbrella, but her shoes and trouser legs were wet, and the rain had already filled the yard but hadn't reached the steps, "My lord, the firewood room is leaking, and some of the firewood is wet. Fortunately, I found it early. "They have moved the firewood to a dry place.
"Huh? Then when the rain stops, I'll find someone to repair the roof."
This Jiang Mansion used to be a dilapidated courtyard. Jiang Qiucheng bought it after he came and carried out some renovations, but obviously the materials of the firewood house were not as good as those of their room.
After the cook left, Jiang Chu went back to class.
"Don't mend the roof, I can help you." Bai Qingheng who hadn't spoken for a long time finally spoke, with a hint of indisputability in his tone.
Jiang Chu laughed, and looked at the serious teacher in front of him, "Why, I won't go, and you don't have to go, teacher, you will find someone to make up for it when the rain stops." His teacher is so naive.
Bai Qingheng suddenly opened the window, a gust of wind blew in, and some rainwater was also entrained. The rain outside had already fallen as deep as a calf. Jiang Chu leaned closer to look out the window, "This rain is so heavy."
Bai Qingheng closed the window.
"Ah."
The rain outside continued for another half an hour and gradually subsided, followed by light rain. Jiang Chu was afraid that it would rain heavily again. After lunch, he took an umbrella and went out to find the workers who repaired the house. Qingheng also left the house with him.
When the workers heard that Jiang's house was leaking, they moved quickly and came to his house to mend the roof despite the light rain.
They repaired the roof very quickly and finished the work before dark. Wen Lan gave them money and invited them to have dinner at the house.
It has been raining for two days in a row, and they are all studying in the room these days.
Bai Qingheng likes to read. When Jiang Chu was copying the book, he would look up every time he looked up at his teacher. This time, he quietly looked at his teacher, with a straight nose and thin lips, dressed in white, as pretty as a fairy walking out of a painting, It would be great if the teacher can teach him to study all the time, and he can watch him every day.
"Have you finished copying?"
"Ah?" At this moment, Jiang Chu rested his chin on one hand and looked at the teacher in front of him. It was obvious that he was discovered when he peeked at the teacher.He hurriedly lowered his head, took the brush, forgot for a moment where he copied the book, and let him search for it.
But he didn't want Bai Qingheng to find out that he was not concentrating on copying the book, so he started to find a random place to copy.
But after copying for a long time, I found that this paragraph had already been copied.
Bai Qingheng in front of him saw his movements and knew that he was distracted.Also, studying in the room every day is not conducive to broadening his horizons. When the rain stops, he considers taking Jiang Chu out of the house to study.
Jiang Chu was tired of copying, and there was an itchy spot on his face. He scratched it with a brush, and continued copying.
After copying for a quarter of an hour, Jiang Chu finally finished copying. Satisfied, he put down the brush, handed the result of copying to the teacher, returned to his seat, and began to look brightly at the teacher in front of him with his chin resting on his hands.
Bai Qingheng looked at the homework he handed in and then at him, frowned slightly, took out a handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Jiang Chu.
Jiang Chu, who took the handkerchief, was a little puzzled, and asked with wide eyes, "Teacher, why are you giving me this?"
"Your face is dirty, wipe it off."
Jiang Chu's eyes widened, and he ran to the mirror in the room, his right face was painted with brush and water, he said sorry to Bai Qingheng, then ran out in embarrassment, and washed his face with water by the sink.
At this time, he was blushing like a shrimp. Faced with such a predicament, the teacher could not hold back his smile, and gave him a handkerchief solemnly.
At this time, the rain was still pattering. After Jiang Chu returned to his room, his body was slightly wet. He took off his slightly wet robe and changed into a black one. He turned his head to look at the teacher whose back was to him, and heard the noise from here as he was still reading. , unmoved.Jiang Chu took out the handkerchief that Bai Qingheng had just given from his bosom, the material was soft and comfortable to the touch, and he put it in his pocket.
After completing this series of steps, Jiang Chu sat down at the table again.
Today's teachers have reached the state of not being moved by foreign objects.
"Teacher, how old are you this year?" This was a question that had puzzled Jiang Chu for a long time. With Bai Qingheng's knowledge, he couldn't tell that this was a person in his 20s.
Bai Qingheng thought for a while, looked at Jiang Chu's copied article, didn't know how to answer for a while, thought one after another in his heart, finally fixed a certain one, felt that it was quite suitable for the age he was looking at, and said softly :"25 years old."
"You don't look like a 25-year-old? You look like a 20-year-old, so young." Jiang Chu murmured. "It's my birthday next month. At that time, you are seven years older than me." He said with a smile again.
Bai Qingheng didn't speak, and was silent for a while, "How long is your birthday?"
"October [-]." Jiang Chu replied, "When is the teacher's birthday, I will give you a big gift!"
"Forgot." Bai Qingheng shook her head in a daze. It has been too long, and she has never celebrated her birthday in so many years.
"Huh? Did the teacher grow up alone?"
Jiang Chu stood up, moved his stool and sat at Bai Qingheng's table, listening to him tell the previous story.
I heard from Jiang Qiucheng that Bai Qingheng originally planned to find a job here to earn some silver to subsidize his family, and his family must be in a difficult situation.
It must be very hard for one person to struggle for so many years. The teacher is really pitiful, so he should not make the teacher angry. Jiang Chu made up his mind in his heart.
"Well, there was someone who grew up with me, and later, he died." Bai Qingheng recalled the previous things, and he easily said the painful parting of life and death.
That person should be a relative of the teacher.
Jiang Chu has never experienced life and death, but when he thinks about it, he feels that it is a kind of tribulation and pain, even suffering.
I don't know how the teacher lived after the man passed away.
He tried to make Bai Qingheng forget to mention that person's pain.
"Teacher, you can stay at Jiangfu with peace of mind, and I will accompany you in the future."
Hearing this, the corners of Bai Qingheng's mouth finally curled up, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly, like a flash in the pan.
This was the first time Jiang Chu saw him smile, and he couldn't help but stare dumbfounded, his heart beat a beat slower.
"Teacher, you look so pretty when you smile, why don't you smile?" Although he usually speaks very gently in class, he never smiles, as if he is a person who has no mood or anger.
"I'm used to it." Bai Qingheng replied softly, then patted Jiang Chu's head, "Let's go to class."
Jiang Chu felt that Teacher Bai must have many unknown pasts.
