Chapter Seventy-One: Preparing Gifts
Ah Gong said: "Mr. Sun has been sick for many years and has not seen anyone, I am worried that he will not be able to teach Xiaoman for long!"
"If he can't teach, how can he accept Xiaoman as an apprentice?"
Xiao Man hurriedly explained: "No, grandma. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Mr. Sun didn't say that he would accept me as an apprentice, he only said that I was very talented and willing to 'lend' this precious set of medical books to me to study, and one day, his descendants would come back, and I would return it!"
"Didn't you say just now that he was willing to teach you?
"That...... Teach to convert, did not say to accept apprentices. ”
Grandma frowned slightly: "So, what's the matter?"
Ah Gong said: "Mr. Sun is a famous doctor, or a big boss, he wants to accept apprentices, it's not a simple matter! I'll just say, he can't guarantee how long he can last, Xiao Man hasn't even finished primary school, and he can't read a few words, so it's hard for her to learn!"
Xiaoman said: "Ah Gong, in fact, I know a lot of words! I went to the second grade, pinyin or something all learned, to the day Xiaofeng Xiaoqiang was too lazy to write homework, came back to help write, they have a Xinhua dictionary, I look at it every day, the words in it are almost recognized!"
Ah Gong was surprised: "Really?"
"I didn't lie to you! Also, their vegetable garden is at the back of the school, I used to take care of it, I went to work in the vegetable garden, and I listened attentively to the teachers' lectures, and I understood all the courses of the third, fourth, and fifth grades! I haven't had time to tell my grandfather yet, when the school starts, I won't study the first grade, I will go directly to the fifth grade! That day, I borrowed Mo Shuixia's textbook and read it, the teacher can take the exam at will, and I will definitely be able to answer all of them!"
"Yo?" Ah Gong had another shocked expression.
Grandma smiled: "See, my little man is smart! No wonder Mr. Sun can see at a glance that she has talent!"
“……”
In this way, Xiao Man spent a little half a day to explain the two things of studying medicine and skipping a grade to directly enter the fifth grade with his grandfather and grandmother.
Grandma has nothing to say except support.
Ah Gong said that he would wait and see if he was going to study the fifth grade directly, and he would go to the principal and give Xiaoman a test.
And studying medicine, Ah Gong still hopes that Xiao Man is cautious, he doesn't want to stop Xiao Man, he just thinks that girls don't need to bother so much, of course, Xiao Man has to learn, and he has grandma support, he has nothing to say, but asks Xiao Man: For Mr. Sun is willing to teach her this matter, she must be low-key and not quiet, no matter what she learns, before she becomes a doctor and has not obtained the qualification to practice medicine, she is not allowed to treat people and take medicine!
Xiao Man agreed.
Next, let's talk about gift-giving, Grandma mentioned: Regardless of those medical books, Mr. Sun gave Xiaoman so many clothes, all of which are very valuable and good, and they can't be taken in vain, they have to pay back the gift!
Ah Gong nodded and said: "It's time to return the gift, we don't have anything good in the countryside, I see, it's better to buy a cage of hens, and some eggs, and find some dried mushrooms picked up in the mountains to replenish Mr. Sun's body." Many years ago, I gave Mr. Sun a few catties of tea oil, he liked it very much, and one day I will spend a day and a night, and then go to the inner mountain village in the deep mountains, carry it out with ten catties of tea oil, and send it to him together!"
Xiao Man said strangely: "There are a lot of tea seed trees on the side of Qingniu Mountain in our village, can't we pick some up to extract oil?"
"Don't you dare, it's a brigade collective, who dares to squeeze oil without permission? It's the brigade that organizes the collection of tea seeds and squeezes the oil, and the oil is also handed over to the state purchasing station and supplied to the cadres and workers in the city to buy with oil tickets, and we don't have a rural household registration!"
"That Uchiyama Village ......"
"They are far away from the emperor of the mountain, and no one can take care of it. The tea seed trees were sown by aircraft in the national forestry industry many years ago, and the brigade could not distinguish people to take care of them, so they were cheaper. ”
"That's right. ”
Discuss the gift, Uncle Mancang's share naturally has to be prepared, as well as Mo Zhishu's family, Ah Gong said that tomorrow is the street market day, he came back from the reservoir early, went to the commune, bought two hangs of pork, each hung about two and a half catties, and added some sugar cakes, tobacco, alcohol and noodles, etc., this is what should be in the thank-you gift, as for Mo Zhishu's family, just give it after borrowing an ox cart in the past.
As for a cage of five or six local chickens, as well as half a basket of eggs, they can only be bought by the villagers in the private village from each family, and they are used to go to relatives, no one will say anything, who doesn't go to relatives?
It was almost noon, and Qiu Xiaohu and Jiang Xuehua, who were neighbors, wanted to enter the yard to fetch well water, and when they opened the courtyard door to let them carry water, they let a few people walk straight in.
Mo Lao Er and Mo Er Aunt Mo are husband and wife, followed by a pair of grandchildren, the eldest aunt and Liang Xiaoju.
When Mo Lao Er and Mo Er Aunt entered the courtyard and saw Ah Gong, they surrounded one and shouted loudly and one cried, and the eldest aunt also leaned over, stretched out her finger and pointed at Ah Gong's forehead, spitting and scolding, saying "You are a stupid melon, you don't listen to good people, you won't enjoy the blessings, you have to work hard to raise the mourning star and the broom star, and bring the descendants of the Mo family to ......" , Xiao Man and Grandma sat at the door of the kitchen, one picked potato leaves to prepare for cooking, and the other used a wooden mortar to scoop chili salt, and couldn't sit still when they heard this, Xiao Man helped Grandma to go to Grandpa's side, and suddenly saw Liang Xiaoju dodge and ran towards the east room where he was sleeping, and hurriedly helped Grandma to sit down, asked her to wait first, and quickly chased into the house.
But he was still a few steps late, and the bag of new clothes spread out on the bed was looked at by Liang Xiaoju, and he quickly grabbed the new fruit green sweater and gestured to his body, his face was full of excitement, and he shouted in a sharp voice: "Grandma......"
Xiao Man ran over and grabbed the sweater and put it away, tied the burden diagonally and knotted it and threw it into the bed, then forcibly dragged Liang Xiaoju out, and then closed the door with a bang and locked it!
Remembering that there were some sugar cakes on the table in the hall, he simply closed the door of the hall and tied up the round iron rings on the two doors with a rope - the lock also needs to be bought with money, in the countryside in the seventies, most people had a lock on the important door, and there were only two round iron knockers hanging on the door, and there was no lock, and the owner left home to tie the door knocker in this way, and the non-family members would not untie it and enter it casually.
Liang Xiaoju stared at Xiao Man, first, she couldn't figure out why this person's strength suddenly increased, obviously when she was still there a few days ago, Xiao Man couldn't drag her if she wanted to compete;
"Mo Xiaoman, how can you do this? This is also my room! My grandma said, I still want to live here, to be my uncle's granddaughter! There are so many new clothes on the bed just now, you give me half of the score!"
Xiao Man walked past her: "You can look at that, don't think about touching it again!"
"You!Mo Xiaoman, you shameless!" (To be continued.) )
