Chapter Eighty-Seven: Finalizing the Private School
Li Congwen was in a bad mood reading in the house, and at first he heard the quarrel of his father and mother and wanted to go out, but he finally mustered up the courage to go out in hesitation, and before he pushed the door, he heard his father's helpless compromise, and finally his father lost to his mother.
Li Congwen, who thought he was okay to return to the house, heard a bang before his ass touched the stool. I was stunned for a moment and didn't wait to think too much, reflexively opened the door and ran out.
With an anxious face, I don't know what happened to the Zhu family, and when I opened the door, I saw Li Yuqing standing in his yard talking to the village chief, and the anxious expression was immediately replaced by surprise, because the expression was very unnatural because the change was too fast.
Li Yuqing was talking to the village chief, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he thought it was the Zhu family who had cleaned up, and looked sideways at Li Congwen standing at the door, the expression on his face Li Yuqing couldn't see what it meant.
"Cong Wen came out, my uncle and I are talking about you. Li Yuqing looked at the stunned Li Congwen with a natural and decent smile and said.
Li Congwen didn't know what to say, but when he saw Li Yuqing appear here, his restless heart suddenly calmed down in the past few days. "Sister Yuqing, you're here" After speaking, she was ashamed of her previous idea of questioning Li Yuqing, and her face slowly turned red.
"Didn't you say that I would take you to the town to find a private school after I was busy, and I came over after dinner today to ask if you had time today. ”
After listening to Li Yuqing's words, Li Congwen was incoherent with excitement, and shouted in his heart, this day is finally here, and he has been looking forward to it for so long, and his wish will come true soon, "If you have time, you can have time, you can do it anytime." ”
Li Yuqing looked at Li Congwen like this and felt that he was like a child, usually no matter who Li Congwen looked like a little adult in front of him, and his strict attitude did not match his age.
After another conversation with the village chief, he asked Li Congwen to change into relatively better clothes, and when the time came, he would find a private school to meet his master, who was too shabby and despised. The Zhu family never came out from beginning to end, so I was embarrassed to think about it, and Li Yuqing didn't care about saying goodbye to the village chief so much, and went to the town with Li Congwen to find Yao's shopkeeper in an ox cart.
Li Congwen was in a good mood along the way, I don't know if it was because he was nervous and wanted to relieve his mood or because his original personality was like this, Li Congwen hummed a song out of tune all the way out of the village, shaking his legs very happily. Even Li Yuqing was happy, and the originally long journey was quickly completed in a cheerful atmosphere.
After calculating the time, Li Yuqing has not been in town for more than half a month since he was busy from the beginning, and the familiar streets also have a feeling of being separated from the world, and there is not too much delay on the road, I am afraid that there will be many people who eat at noon, and the shopkeeper Yao can't take care of it, so I took advantage of the time to ask him about the private school as soon as possible, and I must solve Li Congwen's matter today. In this way, Li Yuqing will find the village chief to help in the future, so that the village chief can work harder.
When I came to the door of the restaurant, I looked inside, because there were very few people at the staggered meal, and the shopkeeper Yao was idle and had nothing to do in front of the counter to broadcast the abacus to settle the accounts, Li Yuqing asked Li Congwen to put the ox cart at the alley of Fumanlou where the vehicles were parked, and then came to find her, and she herself went over to communicate with the shopkeeper Yao first.
Li Congwen listened to Li Yuqing and waited for her to get out of the car, and drove the ox cart over without saying a word, Li Yuqing looked at the back of Li Congwen leaving and nodded with satisfaction, turned around and entered Fumanlou.
The guys were idle and bored scrubbing the tables and chairs, and when they saw Li Yuqing coming over, they hurriedly said hello, and the shopkeeper Yao, who was still settling the accounts, heard the shouts of the guys, frowned and raised his eyes. Seeing that it was Li Yuqing who hurriedly put down the things in his hand, surprise immediately appeared on his face, and he got up and walked over.
"Yuqing, now that you have become a rare guest, how long have you not been here, what are you busy with at home" Shopkeeper Yao looked at Li Yuqing and asked.
"Look at what Uncle Yao said, I haven't been idle at home recently, don't I have no land at home! I opened a wasteland at the foot of the mountain and planted some beans. Li Yuqing replied to Shopkeeper Yao with a smile, because she cooperated with Shopkeeper Yao a lot, she spoke more directly, and didn't care about the so-called vulgar etiquette.
Shopkeeper Yao knew that Li Yuqing was capable, so it was not unusual to hear her say that she would open up the land and grow things. However, I was still quite interested in the soybeans she said, so I asked, "Yuqing, what are the soybeans you are talking about, and what are you using them for?" ”
Li Yuqing was embarrassed not to answer when she saw Shopkeeper Yao asking, but the soybeans she planted this year were not sold, so even if she told Shopkeeper Yao, it was useless. But if you don't say it, people can't help but give this face after asking again.
"It's something like a mung bean that can have many uses. ”
Before Li Yuqing finished speaking, Shopkeeper Yao's eyes lit up, "Really, that's ・・・・・"
Li Yuqing hurriedly interrupted what he was going to say later, laughing at the look of the shopkeeper Yao, judging from Li Yuqing's relationship with him for so long, he obviously wanted to hit her soybeans.
"Uncle Yao, don't think about it, I don't sell this soybean"
"Why," Shopkeeper Yao looked at Li Yuqing's eyes fixedly, frowned, and asked, "Is it because you dislike the low price I gave, if you want to do this, I will be cold." Besides, the price I gave you is not low, I don't believe you can go out and inquire. ”
Li Yuqing saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, she was really afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Uncle Yao, you think too much, my soybeans planted this year are reserved for next year as seeds." Because it is not easy to encounter seeds because of its wide use, it can only wait for the next year for the sake of the future. ”
Shopkeeper Yao originally heard Li Yuqing say that he would not sell it, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that Li Yuqing just didn't want to sell it to him. Later, after listening to the explanation, I understood what she meant, and felt that Li Yuqing was a person with far-reaching plans, and would not be disturbed by immediate interests. Such a person is suitable for long-term cooperation and will not defect halfway.
After explaining the matter of soybeans, everyone turned the page and didn't mention it. Li Yuqing looked at Li Congwen, who was obviously a little restless this time, and looked at the shopkeeper Yao who was smiling and asked, "Uncle Yao, do you know that the private school in the town is better to teach." ”
Seeing Li Yuqing asking, Shopkeeper Yao tilted his head and pondered for a while, and said, "If you want to preach a good private school, it is the Hongru Academy, and Mr. and I still have a little friendship" After speaking, he paused for a moment and remembered something, and then asked, "Why do you want to send your brother to school, yes, Hongru College will not work, it is better to teach after enlightenment." It's okay, just sit back and I'll help you ask. ”
After speaking, I was going to ask the guy to go out to inquire, and Li Yuqing was very moved after listening to the words of the shopkeeper Yao, but she asked Li Congwen, and I heard him say that Hongru College was very good, and there was no need to ask anything else, so he quickly grabbed the shopkeeper Yao, "It's not for my brother, he's still young, and I'll send him to school next year, and I'll teach him about enlightenment." ”
"It's not for your brother, it's..." Before he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuqing's gaze, and saw Li Congwen sitting there precariously, and he understood everything at once and didn't say much.
After finalizing the private school, all that remains is to go to the private school to get to know the way, visit the master to see when the class can be officially held. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Shopkeeper Yao, he was picked up by Shopkeeper Yao before he could say anything: "There is no one just now, I'll accompany you for a while." I happen to be familiar with the master, and if I go, I can help Cong Wen more or less in the future. ”
When Li Yuqing heard this, it was really the reason, and they all said that there are people in the city who are good officials, and it is a pass to have a relationship in this world of dogs and people. For Yao's shopkeeper's practice, Li Yuqing really didn't know what to say to thank him.
