Some time ago, Erya has been taking everyone to do physical exercises, and Xiaohu has to help with short-term work, everyone is very tired. There are very few times when the director and Xiaohu chat, and now they are walking on the road, silently hurrying, which is not Erya's style.

No, Erya pulled Xiaohu to walk behind and whispered: "Xiaohu! A few days ago, when you went to help someone, did someone laugh at you? ”

Xiaohu was confused and asked, "What are you laughing at me?" Did someone tell you anything? "But he couldn't stop being angry: 'Who is behind this?' Let me know I have to talk about her! ’

"No one said anything! It's like that Wang Dacai before, I thought that when you were together, some people would laugh at you! ”

Xiaohu's anger was immediately digested: "I won't laugh at it, when we work together, sometimes when we chat and talk about other people's daughters-in-law, we just talk about which daughter-in-law is good-looking; Which daughter-in-law is capable; Which daughter-in-law seems to have a good temper; Which daughter-in-law is powerful. Occasionally, he would make some jokes about that, but no one had ever laughed at the big money, and he was suspicious of himself. Actually, after you came out of their house, they really made a lot of jokes and called him stupid! ”

"Oh!" Er Yaxin said, that's none of my business!

"By the way, do you have a teacher here?" Erya knows words, but I'm not sure if the words I know are different from here!

"You mean a private school, right? We don't have it in the village, we don't have it all the way, but there is one in the town. Besides, our family can't afford to read now! "Xiaohu has no desire to read, his ancestors have been doing farm work for generations, and they are all masters who can't read a single big character. Without the convenience and honor of reading and literacy, there would be no strong reading*.

Er Ya was speechless.

A few cousins were giggling in front, playing and playing, Er Ya and Xiaohu chatting east and west, and time passed quickly. After more than half an hour's journey, they arrived unconsciously.

It is said that the town is really small, before and after, left and right, Erya can walk all over in no hour!

There is also no market here, there are things to sell, so they stretch along the four corners of the intersection in the center of the town, placed on both sides of the road, and those who buy things go directly to the center of the town to buy things and do not go anywhere else.

Er Ya put the twelve pheasants he brought aside. Let Daman and Xiangzi sell them, and take Xiaohu around by himself, wanting to see if there is a place to sell books and stationery.

Xiaohu took Erya to the only private school in the town, next door, which was a small shop that sold books and stationery. The storefront here is not like the later generations, the things are there, you can choose by yourself, and then pay after you pick it!

It's counter-style, you have to tell the clerk what you want, and he will show it to you. After you read this, you didn't like the clerk and immediately took it back. If you want to see another clerk bring you another one, even if you ask for it, the clerk will only put it in another place, but will not let you hold it in your hand, unless you have already paid the money!

Er Ya stood in front of the high counter, and asked the clerk (not to mention Xiao Er here, after all, people are also engaged in culture) to take a book of enlightenment books to show themselves, and the clerk was very enthusiastic to choose a basic enlightenment book, Er Ya saw that the clerk was not as unscrupulous and contemptuous as others said, and a little weird. Alas! Erya sighed, could it be that she has the potential to suffer from madness!?

Er Ya opened it and read it in general, and after reading it, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - fortunately, she could recognize these words. I remembered that I had returned to my hometown from my master to go to school, and when I opened the book, many words were different from what my master taught, and I was blinded at that time.

Things from the age of three to the age of thirteen suddenly became waste, and even the strict zhòng affected the later learning. Any idea what that feels like? In addition, if you enter school at an older age, you often have to accept teasing and ridicule from your classmates who are much younger than you, as well as the contempt of teachers; Erya used to hate her classmates and school very much. Later, until I finished high school, I didn't have any feelings for my teachers and classmates. Although Shigong always said that she was a smart child, she still couldn't pick up her self-confidence.

Even if he saw these words now that he didn't recognize them, and the clerk and Xiaohu looked at him with surprise, Er Ya didn't think that this was anything to be surprised about! After reading it, Erya returned the book to the clerk and asked about the brush by the way.

Erya wants to make brushes, there are ready-made weasels at home, such a good material can't be in vain! Although she was forced to follow the study when she was a master of brushes, she was impatient and couldn't do such meticulous work. Even if he barely learned it later, the brushes he made could only be regarded as low-to-middle. However, it can only be produced in the middle and lower grades, but that is also a technology! What era doesn't rely on technology to speak!?

The clerk said very politely: "If you know how to make pens, you can make several pens, each of which will be sent over, let our master see, if you can, then our master will talk to you about specific things!" ”

"Good! Then I'll have to come and trouble you! Erya is very happy that the clerk did not refuse him!

Leaving the Scholar's Book Shop, Er Ya looked absentmindedly at the only two narrow streets in the town, there was really nothing to expect to develop here. No wonder, Xiaohu and their family are so difficult that they haven't heard of finding something to do in the town, setting up a small stall or something.

Er Ya walked in front casually, Xiaohu didn't know where to run, and after a while, he hurriedly ran back to Er Ya.

Still breathing heavily, panting, "Daughter-in-law, I just asked the grocery store in town, where he collects rabbit skins. Fifty wen a piece, or we will sell it. Xiaolong has a padded jacket to wear in winter, and he can't freeze! ”

Er Ya was thinking about something, and was startled by the sudden voice. Looking back at Xiaohu, he explained to him: "I also know that my family is short of money now. But the money for those rabbit skins is really not useful. I'm going to be a hair, why give money to someone else to earn. I want to make my own fur and make leather clothes. We went to the provincial capital to sell leather clothes, and I heard that the mountain closest to the provincial capital is the mountain where we went hunting, but our home is four or five hundred miles away from the provincial capital, right? Wild goods must be in demand there. Therefore, I want to dry the rabbit meat, dry the white fungus fungus, and make the gastrodia, and we can save all the mountain goods we can save, and sell them together before the New Year, which is better than selling a few changes here and there. You tell me? ”

Xiaohu scratched the back of his head and said a little ashamedly: "I'm sorry! I didn't think about it that much, I just thought about saving one and one. ”

Erya gently touched the back of Xiaohu's neck, and said softly: "It's okay, just like this, if you want to say something, just say it." In the future, if you live separately, you are the head of the family, so you naturally have to think more. ”

Xiaohu didn't know why, as long as his daughter-in-law touched him, he would be soft and tremble. However, I can't help but longing for my daughter-in-law to be closer to me and enjoy this wonderful feeling of trembling with vertigo!

The two of them finished turning around seven or eight times, and when they returned to the intersection, Daman and they had already sold the pheasants, so they were waiting for them.

When he saw them from afar, he ran after them. On the other hand, he shouted at them: "Brother Xiaohu, sister-in-law, you are back!" Not long after you left, the restaurant in the town came and bought all our pheasants, fifty cents each, no matter how big or small. He also said that he would send it to his family if he had it in the future. As many as you want! And again, and again."

Er Ya seemed to have run to the front of him and stood still, and heard Laizi say: "Still talking, still saying" Come to see Erya, I don't know how to speak.

"What else did you say?" Xiaohu urged on the side.

Laizi gritted his teeth: "I also said that the live rabbit is twenty yuan a catty, and it is as much as there is!" ”

Erya laughed when she heard it, and everyone had an opinion on her leaving a rabbit skin!
