The son-in-law of the husband’s family
The son-in-law of the husband’s family — 15.4

  In Gu Zhao’s opinion, Zhou Zhou of his family is very capable. He knows the growth of crops in the fields, when to sow and when to weed, and can tell tomorrow’s weather by looking at the clouds. He also arranges the laundry, cooking, feeding the chickens and pigs at home in an orderly manner, doing multiple things in parallel, saving time and being efficient.

  They are all strengths and advantages. But Zhou Zhou doesn’t think these are advantages and even feels inferior. This is not acceptable.

  Gu Zhao loved listening to Zhou Zhou talk about these things, they learned a lot from each other.

  The paper is flattened and now there is a dot drawn on it.

  ”I’m here to take the test, classmate Zhou Zhou, what do you think this is?”

  When Li Zhouzhou saw it, he relaxed and said, “Sir, this is a black spot.”

  ”Student Zhou Zhou, don’t rely on your good looks to make trouble in class. Call me Teacher Gu.” Gu Zhao pretended to be very dignified.

  Li Zhouzhou smiled with his lips pursed, and shyly called Teacher Gu. He thought that Teacher Gu probably meant Master.

  Gu Zhao had been a local official in his previous life and had a local gazetteer and geomancy map. According to his memory, Gu Zhao placed a small circle on the dot and pointed to the dot, saying, “This is Ningsong Town.” He then pointed to the circle and said, “This is Ningping Prefecture.”

  Did the painting seem a little too small? He heard from Xing’er that to go to the prefecture and county, he had to rent a mule cart and ride for a day. After entering the city gate, he would have to ride the mule cart to his uncle’s house for another half an hour.

  But there was only a dot and a small circle on the paper. But Li Zhouzhou didn’t say anything, he listened to his husband.

  Gu Zhao could see that Zhou Zhou was confused, but because he trusted him, he didn’t ask. So he drew many small triangles and wavy lines very below the dot, representing mountains and rivers.

  Today’s class is not about geography.

  A small circle was drawn between the mountains and rivers. This was where the original person had served as a county magistrate for more than ten years in his previous life.

  ”Look, classmate Zhou Zhou, these are mountains and rivers. Our Ningping Prefecture and this area are located in the south and north. The crops grown there are mostly mulberry, hemp, and rice. Millet is not grown, and wheat is also rarely grown. The climate is not suitable.”

  When talking about crops, Li Zhouzhou was no longer nervous or restrained, because he understood this.

  ”Do they have enough food and drink?” Li Zhouzhou was worried about the people over there.
