Zheng Xiaowen thought in her heart, walking to the backyard of the West House, she had just entered the middle house, and saw that her father had also come to the middle house from the backyard.

When my father saw Zheng Xiaowen, he smiled and said, 'Son, why did you get up so early today?'

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Yesterday, my mother said, let me get up early today to help my father sell pastries, and I will get up early." ’

The father smiled and stroked his son's head, and said, 'Good son, good son, my son has really grown up, and he knows that he is worried about helping his father, and he is so happy!'

Zheng Xiaowen saw her mother cooking in the east wing, she came in and said, "Mother, I'll help you choose the dishes." ’

The mother smiled and said, "Today, your Uncle Yang's family will also eat at our house, and I have selected and washed all the dishes, so you can wait for dinner." ’

Zheng Xiaowen picked up the stir-fry shovel and said: 'I have watched my mother's stir-frying, I have seen it many times, I have learned it, let me fry it in the future.' As she spoke, she put the pot on the fire and poured oil.

The mother smiled next to her and said, "I see, my son is very good at putting a pot on the fire and pouring oil." Okay, then stretch out my son's skills and let my mother see if you have learned. ’

Zheng Xiaowen put green onions, ginger and garlic in the pot, stir-fried a few times and put vegetables in the pot. She was stir-frying, and saw her mother running towards the courtyard with her nose and mouth. She fried the vegetables, put them on the plate, quickly put the pot, sealed the fire, came to the courtyard, and asked her mother what was wrong?

The mother took Zheng Xiaowen's hand and went to the upper room.

The mother whispered to Zheng Xiaowen: "Son, my mother can't say for sure, when I smell the smell of fried green onions, I will be disgusted, and my mother doesn't know what's wrong." When my mother is pregnant with you, from forty days, you can't smell such green onions. But this, alas, my mother told you, and you don't understand. ’

The mother muttered to herself: 'But my mother has been working on her body for three months, how can she have this problem of being disgusted when she smells the smell of fried green onions......?' This ......'

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Mother, I see that your complexion is okay, you will not have any problems, wait for the meal, let your father accompany you to see Mr." ’

The mother went out of the upper room door with some confusion, walked to the east wing, and said to herself: "I have to go and see it." ’

Zheng Xiaowen followed behind her mother, came into the east wing, and helped her cook food.

Zheng Xiaowen was helping her mother cook, her mind was still turning, she asked: 'Mother, are there more shops that come to our house to buy pastries now?'

My mother said, 'It's much less than when you were your grandfather.' Now, your father can't make so many, and there are only a dozen stores left to buy. ’

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Mother, I have really grown up, and I already have my thoughts and opinions on our pastry business. I think our family's business should do this: Uncle Yang's family came here, even if his family lived in a house in the east of our village, but his family had no land, and he didn't work, what did his family eat?

If you want me to say, let them live in our east courtyard as a family, and let Uncle Yang and Brother Yang make pastries with my father. Won't our business grow bigger again if we recruit our former customers back? Uncle Yang participated in our business and gave Uncle Yang a share, and he should share as much as he could. Uncle Yang's family has an income, so they can feel at ease here. ’

The mother said, 'My son's idea is right, and I will talk about it after discussing it with your father.' ’

After the Zheng and Yang families had breakfast, the father and son of the Yang family helped Zheng Shouye's family to send the customers who came to the pastries, and the three of them set up stalls outside the gate and bought pastries.

Zheng Shouye saw that the father and son of the Yang family were familiar with the price of pastries, so he called his wife, and the husband and wife went to the house of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the village.

Zheng Xiaowen heard Yang Yihua say that she was going back to the east courtyard to go to the room and do needlework with her mother. After saying that, she went back to the east courtyard. Zheng Xiaowen and Yang Yilin were left, neither of them was familiar with the environment here, and as soon as the two discussed, they both went outside the gate, stood there, looked here, looked there, and talked.

Zheng Xiaowen thought to herself: "Listening to what my mother said, I will go to school tomorrow, but where is this school located? I have to figure it out first today, right? Otherwise, where can I find it in such a big village?" She asked: "Brother Yilin, it's time to go to the school again tomorrow, what about you?"

Yang Yilin said: "Before I came here, I was studying at home, and tomorrow you go to the school, and I will go with you." ’

Zheng Xiaowen thought to herself: I just distinguished the east, west, north and south here, Zhengcun Town is so big, neither of us knows where the school is, I can't ask, I can't tell you the truth, this, this, oh, there is, she said: 'Brother Yilin, let's go, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the geographical environment of this Zhengcun Town. ’

The two greeted the elders Zheng Shouye and Yang Zhiye, first went to the east to see the big city gate and moat, and then walked north to watch, understanding the road here and remembering the characteristic signs of the houses here.

The two were walking, Zheng Xiaowen felt that it was time to talk around, she said: "Brother Yiling, don't look at me as a native of Zhengcun, this Zhengcun town is too big, I haven't been to many places, and the road is very raw." With you as our company today, let's speed up our pace and take a look at this village, shall we?"

Yang Yilin nodded in agreement and said, "Well, good idea, let's go, I have to take a look at this Zhengcun Town." ’

The two of them only walked three streets, and Zheng Xiaowen said, "Brother Yilin, I'm lost, I don't know where this is, and I can't tell the direction, how can I take you to the school?"

Yang Yilin said: 'Don't be afraid, leave the matter of asking for directions to me.' I'm going to take you, and I'm going to walk around and watch you go around, and then I'll take you home in peace, how about it?'

Zheng Xiaowen was really happy in her heart, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, you originally followed me, but now I follow you." Let's go, where you say, we'll look. ’

The two walked north, looking and asking questions around the street. Suddenly, both of them saw Zheng Village's: Zheng's family temple. There was an old man on the side of the road, Yang Yilin stepped forward and asked where the school was, and the old man pointed to the courtyard next to the family temple and said, "Look there, isn't that the school?" ’

At this time, Zheng Xiaowen hurriedly sped up his speech: "Brother Yilin, I was just about to say to you, let's go to the school, have you asked the old man, your mouth is really clever." ’

Yang Yilin said: 'I was afraid that you hadn't been fascinated yet, so I asked, hehe!'

Zheng Xiaowen said: "Even if you are right, I am lost all the way." When I saw the family temple, I was fascinated. After she finished speaking, she thought about the road she had come to, and then thought about the direction of her home, and said in her heart, "Oh, coming from home to school, this is the way to go, well, remember, tomorrow I will take this road, and I will always come to school."

Zheng Xiaowen was thinking about it, when a young man came over from the side and greeted her and said, 'Xiaowen, are you here too?'

Zheng Xiaowen hurriedly replied: 'It's okay today, I'll come over and have fun.' What about you, you're out to play too?'

The boy said, 'Yesterday after school, I forgot to bring my school bag, and I came to get it.' ’

The three teenagers entered the gate of the school together, and the janitor unlocked a house

Zheng Xiaowen and Yang Yilin followed the young man into the house. The two men saw that the lattice windows of the house were large, and the room was very bright.

Zheng Xiaowen saw that there were about 50 desks in the room. On each side of the room there is a vertical desk against the wall, both of which are seats for two people, and on both sides there are seats for a total of four people, and at the head of the table is a vertical aisle. The desks in the center of the room, side by side, are also seats for four people. There are a full row of seats for a total of eight people.

Zheng Xiaowen counted, from the front row to the back row, a total of seven rows. She stood on the podium and looked into the classroom, and saw three slips of desks and two slips of the aisle, which looked quite neat.

When Zheng Xiaowen saw the young man, he took out his schoolbag from a desk in the middle row of the center and said to her, "I will take the book home, and I still have to read it today." ’

Zheng Xiaowen was about to see what kind of book she was reading, so she immediately raised her hand and took the young man's schoolbag, took out a copy from it and hurriedly read it, and saw that the book cover read: 1763 Zheng Xiance. She took out another one, and when she saw that it was the same as what was written on the skin of the book, she knew it in her heart, and said, 'Now that you have learned in this book, will you be able to memorize it?'

When the young man heard this, he was anxious: 'Hey, I'm your uncle, how can you call me by my name?!'

Zheng Xiaowen's thoughts turned around, and he hurriedly answered: "The two of us are classmates, and there are no outsiders at this time, calling your name is to play with you, and when there are people, I will call you uncle, no." ’

The boy laughed and said, "Only this time, not next time." If someone hears this, they'll say that we don't have rules!'

Zheng Xiaowen patted the young man on the back and said, "Uncle Xiance, my nephew knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to call your name again." ’

The young man smiled and pointed to a desk in the center a little back, in the other row, and said, "Xiaowen, I saw that Zhang Fuxiang's schoolbag was also forgotten, the seats you two are sitting next to each other, and you live not very far from his family, so it is better for you to bring his schoolbag back as well." ’

Zheng Xiaowen took the schoolbag, took out a book and looked at it, and saw that the book cover was also written: 1763 Zhang Fuxiang. She handed it to Yang Yilin and let Yang Yilin see it.

Yang Yilin said: 'That's what is written on the cover of my book. This year is 1763, and if you write your name again, the book will be lost, and the person who finds it will return it to me. ’

Zheng Xiaowen hurriedly said: "I'm not asking you to say this, I'm asking you to see, are you reading this book?"

Yang Yilin said: "I have already studied the six arts, and what I am reading now is the same as this book, which is also the Analects. ’

Zheng Xiaowen knew what she was studying, and she immediately said, "Brother Yilin, if you come to the school tomorrow, I don't know where the teacher will arrange your seat." ’

Zheng Xiance took over and said, "Xiaowen, the seats in the aisle are vacant here, and the people who used to sit here have moved to the city." Come to the school tomorrow and let Yilin sit on your side, won't you? ’

Zheng Xiaowen was happy, smiled and said, "Hey, that's what you said." She raised her hand and pulled Yang Yilin and said, "Come here, sit here, and experience this new seat first!"

Zheng Xiaowen and Yang Yilin sat in their seats, and Zheng Xiaowen said: "Uncle Xiance, Yilin and I are sitting here to listen to the lecture, and you can go up to the stage as a teacher and give a lecture to the two of us." ’

These words made Zheng Xiance laugh haha. He said, 'How can I be a teacher, I can't learn from a teacher.' If I really go to the podium, you want me to take a board, hahahaha......
