Shi Gui hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that Sister Chunyan writes beautifully." "It turns out that the big girl can still read and write, and she is envious, but she doesn't dare to show it, she can not only write, but also draw, but this is what she brought in her previous life.

There is a primary school in Lanxi Village, and she can learn words after handing over Shu Xiu, she really wants to go, but the family had no money at that time, and when she has money, she has long dared not say that she wants to learn literacy.

When I was a child, I listened to the country mother-in-law knocking her teeth, and the story of the soul was born, and often when something happened and woke up, she became another person, a good peasant woman fell in the field, and when she woke up, she asked for orchid dew to rinse her mouth, and called her mother-in-law to beat and scold, and hanged herself at night.

Born to know, it's a youkai. Shi Gui was only three or four years old at that time, and he had just shown a little cleverness, and his little hand was holding the charcoal strip to draw patterns, all of which Qiu Niang had never seen, and he was not happy to paint a picture of Qiu Niang, but he was surprised, thinking about where she learned it, how could it be, Yao Fuzi's house, only to hang such a plum folding picture.

Shi Gui didn't dare to paint since then, and she didn't dare to say that she was literate, but she wanted to be literate, and she could show it if she learned to read, but those who could afford to go to school were wealthy from her family, and she was a girl, standing at the door and listening to it once, Yao Fuzi came out to chase her, saying that she had defiled the place of the saint, and Shi Dad had to take the gift to compensate for the smile.

Which master is willing to accept female students, there is no town in the village, the more you grow up, the more you know that you can't show it, you haven't seen the writing paper for many years except for the New Year's painting, and when you see Chunyan writing, you can't help but see it.

Seeing Shi Gui shaking her head, Chunyan laughed once, she also knew that even men in the small families outside might not be able to study, let alone the girl's family: "It's always idle here, only when there are many things to take care of here, my wife let me come over early, since I have leisure, teaching you two words is always successful, and it is much cheaper to ask someone to bring a letter to the family than a message." ”

Shi Gui's heart moved when she heard this, if she could write a letter and send it back, Father Shi would be able to take a look at Master Yao, and it would be much easier than her to transfer the letter back layer by layer.

Shi Gui was full of smiles, but the two of them had a bitter face: "It's so easy for you to write." ”

Chunyan nodded at the two of them: "It's just lazy, if you know a few more words, won't you be able to go one step further?"

Chunyan only knew a limited amount of things, Shi Gui glanced at it again by speaking, the words were written mediocre, and there were many repetitions, all of which were some firewood and rice labor fees, but she could draw, and if she couldn't write, she would draw it, and there would be no mistakes in an account, and she would be a person with a score in the master's heart.

Shi Gui went back to work while being distracted, learning to write is a good thing, but it is not a good thing to put it on the girl, not to mention that the big girl also learned not to write, Chunyan said that if she wants to teach Shi Gui to write, she can also learn a name, but the Song family really has a girl who is literate.

"The girl in the study has two inks, both of whom can read and write, and they have learned since they were young, and they can only take care of the study when they know how to read and help receive and deliver letters. Danzhu said it very happily, but Shi Gui knew that he was only afraid that he was also half a student, and he knew some Confucius and Mencius, and he didn't recognize the wrong title of the book.

Rao is like this, but also envious, can be open to the pen, can write a letter to the family is good, she thought so, grapes also listened to Danzhu said, just when Shi Gui wanted to pick up Chunyan's new tricks, came back and choked: "I don't know how many catties and taels I have, so I want to write a letter to my family, and Sister Chunyan writes a letter, no matter how bad it is, there is a gentleman who sets up a stall in the town, I want to learn from myself, and the sparrow wants to be a golden phoenix." ”

The longer she stays, the more Shi Gui doesn't like grapes, it doesn't matter if it's delicious, and it's the biggest problem to see others being good, she is unhappy at home, so she will have to make others unhappy, but this time she laughed when she heard her words: "It's because I want to be stubble, Ming'er will go to ask someone to send a letter to the family." ”

She went to invite Chunyan the next day, and when she went to the town, she had to pay for paper and ink, and second, she had to be granted leave by Mrs. Zheng, if she entrusted Chunyan, she didn't even have to ask for leave, as long as she nodded and agreed, Mrs. Zheng would have nothing to do.

Chunyan hid her smile when she heard that she had written a letter: "You can hold me high, where do I know a few words, your osmanthus is osmanthus head oil, and it is okay to write these firewood and rice noodles, ask me to write a letter, and I can't do it again." ”

Chunyan couldn't write, but he did it for Shi Gui, and there was a literate boy in the outer courtyard, so he called one to come in and write a few words, and he didn't understand the literature and science, so Shi Gui said some big vernacular, and he could only write big vernacular, telling sù Qiu Niang that he lived well in the Song family, and said that the old man of the Song family was the prince and the prince, a very big official family, and if Qiu Niang really came, she could also inquire.

I wrapped all the gowns made for Xizi, pressed the letter inside, took a boat to the town, hugged the package in my hand, and put some of the fat and grease on the hair and face that I don't use on weekdays, patted Mrs. Chen's door, and sent things in.

Mrs. Chen smiled when she saw her: "I just said that I had to look for you, you have come to the door." This time, I didn't see Yinliu, Shi Gui didn't ask, I heard Mrs. Chen say that the letter was sent back, and I was just happy to hear her say: "Your mother followed the people in the village to pick tea, and your father's back injury is almost healed." ”

Every year in the village, a group of women go out to pick tea, some take the lead, some collect money, some settle the bill, those who worship incense have incense, those who pick tea have tea heads, and the women of a village go out together and come back together.

Tea picking is a total of ten days before the valley rain, the sky is not bright on the top of the fog water to go uphill, pick until the day is bright, can rest, and so the evening sun will set, and then go to pick, just these ten days, you can earn a silver or two.

Qiu Niang is not too hard, the stone father has always refused, on the road to take a boat and car, back to the woman lost, said to be lost, maybe it is called secretly sold, and then go to some mother-in-law, then they are all settled back, and then there is no escape, Qiu Niang is young and beautiful, how can she follow to pick tea.

As soon as Shi Gui heard it, he knew that the family was in a hurry to save money to ransom her out, his eyes were red, he quickly lowered his head, and asked Xizi again, Xizi is now staying at Aunt Bai's house, and when she saw that someone went to pass the message, she pulled someone's trouser leg and asked her sister.

Shi Gui bit her lip, but she couldn't hold it back, she turned her back and wiped a handful of tears, Chen Niangzi saw her crying, and sighed twice for her, and patted her on the shoulder: "You have to be on an errand, and there will be a time to honor your father and mother in the future." ”

It's easy to say for a trip, Shi Gui sent a letter back, and Qiu Niang said it in front of the Song family is Huohai Daoshan, saying that it sounds good, how can there be a girl who doesn't beat and scold when she is a girl, it is the girl in Yao's family, and she is also a girl in the scholar's house, not still smoking with bamboo sticks.

Qiu Niang and the two wanted to be in a hurry, but they had no money in their hands, they saw a doctor and took medicine, and then bought rice seeds, and they had to borrow money to buy sheep, a sheep cub, how long does it take to feed it, it turns out that there is also Shi Gui's helper, Xizi went to the grass to feed the sheep when she was five years old, and she wanted her sister to come back.

Mrs. Chen accepted the things, and comforted Shi Gui a few words, seeing that she was small, but she didn't cry endlessly, she immediately collected her tears, and brought Lilly, the villain was like an adult, and she felt more and more that she was an understanding, if she was really in the old house of the Song family, she couldn't say that she could have a good creation.

I heard that the Song family was going to come to spend the summer, and I didn't ask someone to send this thing, so I said with a smile: "That must be a good person, when will it come?" I will run for you and deliver the things to your house, you can rest assured." As he spoke, he slapped her again: "You go up hard, really follow to the old house, the family is not developed!"

When Shi Gui went back, he also brought two cans of spices to Mrs. Zheng to taste, and the grapes knew that she sent a letter home, and poured water for her: "You rest, I'll do the things in the courtyard." After scattering his legs, he went to Chunyan's house, and after a while, Shi Ju came over, seeing that she was really not very energetic, and brought her snacks.

"This is a little kumquat, this is a domino hemp candy, and there are peach pears and dried meat, I just bought the heart and came in, Sister Chunyan asked me to bring you a copy. With a sweep of her eyes, she saw that she was pressing paper in her basket, and the word Shi Gui was written on the paper, so she picked it up and flattened it out: "You are so skillful, Sister Chunyan taught it once, and you will be able to write?"

Shi Gui shook his head: "I just memorize it in my head." Took out the hemp sugar peach strips for Shi Ju to eat, Shi Ju bit one, and talked to her, if it was necessary to ask her something about the old house, but Shi Gui has been here for more than two months, and he has not been so homesick as now, and sighed after a while: "I don't know if I can go back." ”

Shi Ju smiled: "Our wife is kind-hearted, if she asks for it, nine out of ten can go back, there is no way to give birth to the family, and if you buy it outside, only your father and mother are willing to pick it up, and you can go out, and you don't want a few taels of silver." ”

Shi Gui took a breath lightly: "Really?"

Shi Ju nodded: "Really, our wife is a kind-hearted person, there is no Jimin in Jinling City where she has not given up rice, there is no Taoist Buddhist temple where she has not donated oil, and my wife has been eating fast for 20 years, and she made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva." ”

Shi Gui was suspicious, Shi Ju took her hand: "You, if you really want to go back with us, we don't beat and scold people in the east, my wife can't hear the cry, and I will respond to any request, I don't know how many people come to fight the autumn breeze in a year, and even the old lady said that the family asked for a living Bodhisattva." ”

How did that cardamom make a concubine? Shi Gui wanted to ask, but couldn't ask, nodded yes, and showed a smile, Shi Ju was naïve: "Listen to me, the other garden is still here, and there is a grange, there are always things to be sent on both sides, is it not easy for you to come back?"

That's right, as long as the Song family is still there, there will always be someone who wants to go back to Sweetwater Town, she is relieved, even if she leaves, she can't be so negative, just go to work in the field, and there will be a day when she comes back.

Shi Gui should not see Qiu Niang, how do you know that when you are about to arrive in Duanyang, Qiu Niang actually came to the mountain with Shi Daddy, and the people on the door said that they came to find Shi Gui, and it was passed to Chunyan, and the other garden only knew that Shi Gui was called Osmanthus from top to bottom, but Shi Ju had such a public case to worship her sisters, and immediately said that it was Shi Gui, and Chunyan was stunned: "Take people to the ear room, so that their mother and daughter can see each other." ”

Shi Gui was washing clothes, and when he heard that his father and mother were coming, everyone was stunned, Shi Ju ran away, pulled her and pushed her, and smiled: "Hurry up, why are you stunned!"

Shi Gui threw down the wooden hammer and went to the ear room, Qiu Niang was dressed in green cloth, she was not much fatter than when she left, Shi Dad was still that honest, the two saw Shi Gui, first looked from head to foot, Qiu Niang trembled and shouted: "Osmanthus." Then he hugged her and cried.

Shi Gui has changed his appearance, but he has only been in the house for more than three months, he has eaten and dressed warmly, his face is round, and he has grown, his body is a newly made spring shirt, his hair is also oily, his ears and eyes are heavily tied with silver cloves, and his double bun is wearing red velvet flowers.
