"Because Mr. Zhou said that he would teach us literacy for free. Zhao Decai heard Wei Chao's words and replied.

"That's not it, we'll teach you to read, you can just learn, and as for what you want to do through learning, that's your business. Wei Chao opened his mouth and looked at He Yu, "You just asked why we are here to teach you to read, then I will tell you," Wei Chao pointed at Zhou Dong with his finger and said, "Because he saw many children as old as you, who could not read and write because they had no money to pay for tuition, and his heart was uncomfortable, so he started to think about it." We are not doing this as a pastime for the children of rich families, just so that you can read and write, understand the outside world, and not be fools. ”

"What's the use of not being a fool, the family will only let people do things and work over and over again, if it weren't for the examiner, these are useless waste in their eyes, it's better to make a few more cents. He Yu sighed helplessly and said, "This is just wishful thinking on the part of our group of children." ”

"Whether it's wishful thinking or not, it's all handed over to the future, it's good if you don't regret it in your heart at the moment, how can there be so many perfections in the world. Wei Chao said, looking at Fang Yanqing intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Don't always think about what is useful or useless, but don't be sad, sad and sad, envy others, pity yourself, it's better to do one thing first." ”

When Fang Yanqing heard Wei Chao's words, he also raised his eyes to look at Wei Chao, and the ease between his eyebrows was quite attractive.

"Got it, Mr. Xie Wei taught. He Yu nodded and replied.

Many treasures rolled their eyes, looked at Feng Ranran and asked, "Mr. Feng, the skirt on your body is so beautiful, I haven't seen it in Rongcheng before, what is this?"

"This one, this is called a dress, it is handed down from the West, if you go to Beiping, Shanghai, Lin'an in the future, you will see that most of the people on the street wear this. Feng Ranran said, "The men there don't wear long shirts, they all wear suits. ”

After that, I asked some innocuous little questions, and the so-called familiar question session was finally over, but fortunately, there was Wei Chao's words in the middle, which corrected the topic that was getting more and more deviated, and the children waved goodbye and walked to their homes. Feng Ranran rubbed her shoulders and said, "This teaching children is really tiring, I finally understand that my father is not easy, next time I go home, I will definitely give him a beating on the back and take good care of him." ”

Zhou Dong also stood up, put all the stools in a pile, and said with some self-examination, "It seems that I have thought about this matter simply, I thought that as long as they want to read, call them over and teach them to read, I didn't expect there to be so many problems." ”

"You just know. Wei Chao opened his mouth and said, "Do you think this thing is a pet? Or is it a game? Everyone has their own ideas, not to mention that in this realm, Mr. Sun's fire has to be boiled slowly, and you still want to turn the sky upside down." ”

Although the words are ugly, but the reason is so reasonable, Zhou Dong knew that Wei Chao had always spoken ugly, so he sighed and said, "I am really naïve, I'm sorry." ”

"Well, when the rotten monarchy is overthrown and a new country of freedom and peace is established, these will be logical, and everyone will be able to read and write. Feng Ranran said, patting Zhou Dong's shoulder and reassuringly.

"The concept is a big mountain, and it is easy to move for a while, and this thing really needs to be done slowly. Fang Yanqing opened his mouth and said, smiling slightly, looking at Wei Chao with his eyes and saying, "However, it's better to do one thing than to do nothing and lament there, you're right." ”

When Wei Chao heard Fang Yanqing's words, he smiled and said, "Let's count you praising me." ”

"I was originally complimenting you. ”

Feng Ranran heard the conversation between Wei Chao and Fang Yanqing, with a strange look on her face, squinted at the two of them, and asked, "What's the situation?"

"It's just a couple of words, this is called familiarity, obviously I am more familiar with you. Fang Yanqing said, moved the bench to the side, looked at Feng Ranran and looked at herself, turned her head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Ranran showed a very regretful expression, "It's only been a while, and you have started to scare people, and sure enough, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black." ”

Fang Yanqing smiled helplessly at what Feng Ranran said, "I didn't scold you, I just answered your question." ”

Ding Sanniang patted Feng Ranran's back comfortingly and said, "Good, let's not talk about it." ”

"Do you want to go to the stage?" Fang Yanqing looked at the sky, turned his head to look at Wei Chao and asked. It's not dark at this time, thanks to the longer days in the summer.

Wei Chao took out the pocket watch in his pocket and asked, "Let's have dinner first, are you hungry?"

Fang Yanqing was about to speak, when he heard Feng Ranran say beside him, "Hungry, hungry, I'm dying of hunger!"

"Then why don't you invite us to dinner?" Wei Chao said as he looked at Feng Ranran.

"Shall I please?" Feng Ranran's eyes widened and she asked.

"I invited it last time, so I have to pay attention to the courtesy. Wei Chao said with a smile.

When Feng Ranran heard Wei Chao's words, she pursed her lips, "As for being so clear, Iron Rooster!"

"Call me what?"

Feng Ranran saw Wei Chao's eyes narrowed, and hurriedly changed his words, "Good brother!"

"Or this ......"

Before Fang Yanqing finished speaking, he heard Wei Chao interrupt him, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner today, Boss Chen has a treat." Mandarin Duck Building chartered, let's go. ”

"Boss Chen is—" Fang Yanqing blinked, "The head of the Chen family's class, are we going to rub her food?"

"Why not, just follow me. ”

"Let's go, you can eat again," Feng Ranran happily walked next to Fang Yanqing and grabbed Fang Yanqing's shoulders again, "By the way, Yanqing, I almost forgot, your poem has been drafted, and when it is printed in a few days, it will be sent back to you with the sample journal and manuscript fee, and I will give it to you when the time comes." ”

"You've already paid me the manuscript fee, have you forgotten?" Fang Yanqing said with a smile, "You stuffed you with 50 yuan that day." ”

"I've paid you for the manuscript?!" Feng Ranran suddenly woke up when she heard Fang Yanqing's words, clapped her hands and said, "I forgot." ”

Fang Yanqing saw that Feng Ranran thought about it, and continued, "So you don't have to give me this manuscript fee anymore." ”

"Well, then I'll give you the sample at that time, and you don't have to go to Dongge's bookstore to buy it. Feng Ranran nodded and said.

Fang Yanqing listened to Feng Ranran's words, frowned, yes, Zhou Dong is a student of Yenching University, he is a student of Yenching University, he is painted with the logo of Yenching University outside the bookstore, Wei Chao is also Yenching University, the two of them are classmates, just now Wei Chao said that he has known himself for a long time, so Zhou Dong should also know himself. Nanjing University and its own university are sister schools, and the literary society is a friend society, so for the literature and periodicals issued by the literary society, the two schools can learn from each other and publish them. Fang Yanqing looked at Feng Ranran and asked, "Ranran, are you still studying?"

"Here, what's wrong?" Feng Ranran looked at Fang Yanqing suspiciously, and asked.

"It's nothing," Fang Yanqing shook his head slightly, pretending to be casual and asked, "I remember you said that you are from the Literature Society, and Zhou Dong is also from the Literature Society?"

"He," Feng Ranran shook his head when he heard Fang Yanqing's question, and said, "He is not from the Literary Society, he joined a journalist club in college, that is, a club that runs around, and is also affiliated with the Literary Society, but it is not a Literary Society, and they provide manuscripts to the Literary Society." ”

"Oh. Fang Yanqing nodded, in this way, it makes sense, it is not a literary club, I have not read the journal of the literary club, and I have not seen my name, so I have no impression of myself at all, but Wei Chao, Fang Yanqing recalled the first time he met Wei Chao, he shook hands with him, and the strangeness on his face revealed alienation.

"I remember when you first met, you said, your brother told you about me?

"Yes," Feng Ranran continued to nod and said, looking at Fang Yanqing beside him, and then at Wei Chao who was walking in front, his eyes crooked, and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"A little curious. ”

"That's right," Feng Ranran shook her head when she heard Fang Yanqing's answer, "Actually, he didn't say much, he just said that he went to Dongge's bookstore and met a girl who bought books.... Hey, I think I've already said that. ”

"So you said something different," Fang Yanqing continued, stepping on the steps and walking on the bridge, "Is that all he said?"

"Hmm...."Feng Ranran thought for a while, frowned and recalled, "Hey, it seems that I said it, it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect to encounter food again, fate and the like," Feng Ranran recalled the words, and then looked at Fang Yanqing with a serious face, "You two didn't know each other before." ”

"How could it be. ”

"Then why are you ......?"

"Here we are, let's go upstairs. Wei Chao turned his head back and said, just interrupting Feng Ranran's questioning.

Feng Ranran looked up at the Mandarin Duck Tower, the railing on the second floor was already full of people, the Mandarin Duck Tower was not big, and the number of people in the troupe was also quite large, so it was just right.

"A few guest officers, this place has been chartered, I'm afraid I can't eat it, please forgive me and change places. Xiao Er at the door said apologetically.

"If you go up and say that Wei San is looking for it again, they will tell us to go up and sit down. ”

"It's Wei Sanye. A big fat man who was obviously fat many times came out next to him, pushed Xiao Er away, smiled with fat on his face, and said, "A few people are invited, Class Master Chen said it early in the morning, saying that the third young master Wei is here and goes up directly, does the third young master need me to lead the way?"

"No, I know the way. ”

Stepping on the stairs upstairs, the second floor is not noisy, and it is a lot quieter than usual, everyone is around their tables, whispering, eating food quietly, seeing someone come up, they all subconsciously look over.

"Wei San, here!" A shout came from a table in the distance, looked at the people behind Wei Chao, laughed, and said, "Please have a meal, you actually brought so many people, you are worthy of the ruthless third young master." ”
