I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 195 Contest

"Sure enough, he still wants to touch the gun." Xu Shu looked at Jiang Xiao who came to tell tales, and inexplicably felt a little regretful. "I should have known not to show him that thing. I didn't expect that after two years, he still couldn't forget it."

Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "Brother Xu, let alone Brother Mu, I couldn't help but be curious these few days when I was eavesdropping on you. What on earth is that gun?"

"It's no different from the bow and arrow Qiao Jianhong gave me." Xu Shu said vaguely, "I really think it's not a good idea to give a weapon like this as a birthday gift. Why is little Mu Jin so obsessed with it?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid Brother Mu has heard some rumors."

"What rumors?"

"Minzhou has fallen." Jiang Xiao said softly, "Feng Dan's next target is likely to be Yuzhou."

"Yuzhou will be fine." Xu Shu comforted him. "Although Xiao Ran has been acting more and more erratic recently, his ability is unquestionable. Moreover, his brother holds military power at the border. If Yuzhou is in trouble, he can come to rescue at any time."

"Besides, Yuzhou's terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. No matter how brave and fierce Feng Dan's army is, it is impossible for them to have enough energy to capture Yuzhou after just going through a cold winter."

Jiang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "It turns out that people really need to be like Mr. Xu, well-read in poetry and books, to see things in the long run and deeply."

Speaking of studying, Xu Shu thought again: "How is school going recently?"

Ever since Jiang Da expressed his desire to learn calligraphy two years ago, Xu Shu donated money to build a school in the village and invited an old scholar from a neighboring village to teach.

This is a good thing, and the village chief certainly supports it unconditionally. However, he is bedridden and has no intention of taking care of this matter, so it can only be handed over to the elders of the Shen family.

It's a pity that those old guys have too many trivial matters. The day before yesterday they said that we had to invite Ziweixing to open a school, and the day after tomorrow they said that we had to check the almanac for breaking ground.

It took a whole year just to choose the site for the school, not to mention recruiting teachers and students, building houses and diverting water. They were procrastinating, so Xu Shu invited Shen Zhuo to come to his house to teach Jiang Xiao and the others.

In any case, employees' literacy education must catch up.

However, after two years of hard work, the school was finally built. Although the conditions cannot be compared with the private schools in the town, they are definitely not shabby.

Jiang Xiao had also been looking forward to the completion of the school. A big part of the reason why he and Jiang Xiangwan moved to Shiqiao Village was because Xu Shu said that as long as one has lived in Shiqiao Village for two years, their children can go to school.

Although he did not expect his future children to be as well-read as Xu Shu, they could not be like him, who had to learn characters by eavesdropping.

The characters I learned were not recognized by my family, and I was even accused of not doing my job properly.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Jinghua knocked on the door: "Xu Shu, it's time to eat."

"Got it." Xu Shu came to open the door, but Mu Jinghua stared at Jiang Xiao suspiciously, "Wan Ge'er has been looking for you, why are you here? What did you talk about with Xu Shu?"

Jiang Xiao coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about the school. We will start recruiting students in the next few days."

"Really?" Mu Jinghua looked at Xu Shu excitedly, "Can I go to school?"

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to say that it was inappropriate for his brother to show up in public, but then he remembered that after the opening of Muyi Building, Mu Jinghua was the one who "showed up" almost every day, and Xu Shu didn't seem to be dissatisfied, so he held his words back.

Xu Shu rubbed Mu Jinghua's hair. In the past two years, Mu Jinghua had grown taller, but his mentality became more like a child. "You want to go to school?"

Mu Jinghua hummed, pulled Xu Shu and asked, "I want to go to school with my brother Wan, okay, okay?"

"Okay." Xu Shu had thought about this a long time ago, "There will be three classes, one for boys, one for girls, and one for men."

Mu Jinghua immediately became happy and pulled Xu Shu out: "Let's eat."

When I got to the door, I remembered, "Wu Yong and the others are here too. They said they wanted to play mahjong later."

"He's quite nice." Xu Shu snorted, "He asks you to cook for him every day."

"I don't deserve what Brother Xu said." Wu Yong was walking to the courtyard. When he heard Xu Shu teasing him, he laughed, "I would like to go to Muyi Building to add some luck to Brother Mu, but the food here is not as delicious as Brother Mu's. The food here is priceless, so of course I have to be thick-skinned and come here more often."

Xu Shu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't you need to go home to accompany your husband tonight?"

"No need, I have already sent the groom to pick up Brother Le and the two little carrots." Wu Yong smiled embarrassedly, "I'll have to bother Brother Xu a lot."

Wu Yong's speech has become more and more like Xiao Ran's recently. Xu Shu didn't want to listen at all. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Let Caidie arrange it for you."

However, Mu Jinghua was still very happy that there were more people. As soon as he sat down at the table, he began to ask Xu Shu secretly: "Can I drink?"

Ever since I drank half a cup at Jiang Xiao's wedding two years ago, I have been thinking about it ever since.

Xu Shu was not used to the wine here. Even the famous strong wine in the restaurant seemed bland to him. He never prepared some to drink when he was free.

Jiang Xiao, on the other hand, was craving for this stuff and would have a cup every night. Although Mu Jinghua didn't say anything, his eager eyes always made Xu Shu feel jealous.

At first, he didn't know that Mu Jinghua was greedy for wine. He thought that this little fool Mu Jinghua had a crush on the tall and thin Jiang Xiao, but then he thought about the good relationship between Mu Jinghua and Jiang Xiao's husband Jiang Xiangwan, and he was a little unsure.

But he still felt sad. That day, he saw Mu Jinghua staring at Jiang Xiao stupidly. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and covered Mu Jinghua's eyes with his hands.

Mu Jinghua didn't push him, but just blinked her eyes, and her long eyelashes scratched Xu Shu's palm, making it very itchy.

Xu Shu coughed lightly, withdrew his hand somewhat guiltily, and said with a reproachful look on his face: "What are you looking at? Eat."

Mu Jinghua pursed his lips, lowered his head and took a bite.

Xu Shu saw that he seemed to be feeling aggrieved, and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but when he thought of the itchy touch just now, he couldn't bear to lose his temper, so he could only look over helplessly: "What are you looking at! You are so engrossed."

Mu Jinghua blushed when he heard this. Xu Shu saw it clearly and couldn't help but glare at Jiang Xiao fiercely. He could only blame this bastard for seducing his little Mu Jin, and felt bitter in his heart.

But the next second, Mu Jinghua pointed at the wine glass in Jiang Xiao's hand, his eyes filled with stars, and looked at Xu Shu excitedly.

Being stared at by those bright eyes, Xu Shu couldn't help but feel distracted. He laughed foolishly twice before asking, "Wine?"

Mu Jinghua nodded: "I like it."

Xu Shu had taught him the "like" gesture, and it was purely out of selfishness. He was looking forward to the day when little Mu Jin would get it and blush and gesture to him: "Xu Shu, I like it."

Who would have known that one day Mu Jinghua would regain his voice.

But what I liked first was wine.
