Chapter 13 Resumption of School
After making the clothes, Qiu Chen naturally thanked him again and again, gave him the money to buy hens, and prepared two servings of white noodles for the two of them, and each of them took two big buns, which made the two women overjoyed, excused themselves a few times, and thanked them one after another.
Qiu Chen sent the two neighbors out of the door, and when he turned around, Lan Ying and her three children were about to leave. She hurriedly stopped her, and Lin Xu had already brought over a basket she had prepared. There was no white flour in it, but ten catties of white rice, and enough to make two pairs of dark blue three-shuttle cloth for several children, saying that Lan Ying would help.
Lan Ying naturally understood that Lan Ying refused and said that she couldn't use it, but she was half-forced by Qiu Chen into her hand: "Sister Lan Ying, you and Brother Man Ho have helped me a lot, and I won't say anything about thanks." These are for the children, and even if I am an aunt with a little care, you should give me a face, otherwise you will be disgusted with me......"
Tough Lan Ying is not afraid, just afraid of softness, Qiu Chen said this, Lan Ying was only afraid of causing her to be sad, so she hurriedly took it over, and said repeatedly: "I can't come to such a good thing, so I don't care!" Okay, you've all been busy all day, so hurry up and eat and rest early. You are just sick, you still need to pay more attention. ”
Lanzhi Xiangzhi and Bolt followed Lan Ying to say goodbye, and they were still a little reluctant, so Qiu Chen beckoned them to come over and play if they had nothing to do, and then sent the mother and the others away.
At noon, there were leftovers of steamed buns and millet porridge, and the family had a hot dinner.
After washing the pots and dishes, the family of four came to the kang in the inner room, surrounded by an oil lamp on the kang table, and officially began to learn to read.
Paper and pen are very expensive, Qiu Chen took advantage of the free time at one o'clock in the afternoon, ran to the hillside behind the house to find a half-foot square smooth thin stone slab back, and polished the rough stone to remove the sharpness. In this way, the slate is lighter in color and very drafty. When Lin Xu taught calligraphy, he wrote big characters on square paper. When practicing calligraphy, you only need to dip the clear water on the slate to write, and the handwriting will disappear when the water dries, and it can be reused indefinitely.
Lin Xu began to teach with a simple and commonly used structure, such as 'people', 'mountains', 'sun', 'moon', etc., Qiu Chen felt that Ah Fu could start enlightenment at the age of four, so he learned together with mother and son. A family of four, three of them have teaching and learning, and Aman naturally piggybacks on it. Unexpectedly, the two children are very smart, Ah Fu learned five words in one night, and can read and write; Aman actually knows them all, but his little hands are not easy to use, and he can only stay in the reading stage for the time being.
After studying for almost an hour, both children fell asleep, and the family was ready to rest.
Lin Xu packed up his pen and ink and was about to go back to the East Chamber, Qiu Chen looked at his careful and serious appearance of packing up his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said: "Second brother, I am well now, you should go back to the school to resume classes!" ”
After a few days of inquiry, Qiu Chen learned that the reason why Lin Sheng was recruited was because there was no one from the outsider, and secondly, because Liu Bingshan, the head of the Liu family and the landlord of Liujia Village, promised that as long as he was not a husband from someone surnamed Liu, he could send a child to study in the Liu family's private school, and like the children of the Liu family, he would be exempt from paying restraints.
When it came to going to school, the young man's bright eyes darkened, and then he smiled at Qiu Chen and shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I don't expect to take the test Xiucai, it is enough to be able to recognize a few words and settle accounts." No need to go to school anymore. ”
The change in the young man's expression did not escape Qiu Chen's eyes, in addition, she also inquired from Lanzhi and Erkui's daughter-in-law, Qinghe's sister-in-law, and even Zhi'er and Xiang'er, and basically understood the whole story, Lin Xu said that he didn't need to go to school, it wasn't that he didn't want to go to school, but because of Lin Sheng's death, the Liu family refused to let Lin Xu go to school for free. And a bundle is less than one penny a year, that is, one or two silver, and there are no other male laborers in the family, only Qiu Chen and two young dolls are left, and it is not realistic to supply Lin Xu to study.
Qiu Chen said, "Do you want us to tie up?" If we need to hand it over, we will hand it over, and we can take it out now anyway. You also know about the rejuvenation hall, and our family will have income every month in the future. So you don't have to worry about your home, just go to school with peace of mind. ”
"Sister-in-law, I ......" Lin Xu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiu Chen waving his hand.
"You don't need to say more, this matter is settled." Qiu Chen, as a sister-in-law, also took the power of the dictatorship, and then said, "You prepare tomorrow, I'll go to Liu's house to ask, say hello, you take the bundle to go back to school." ”
Qiu Chen didn't say a word, if he handed over the Liu family and didn't let him return to school, it would be a big deal to leave Liu Jiaao. Anyway, their family didn't have a relationship. The only reluctance may be that they have just become familiar with and helped them with Duo Lanying's family.
After speaking, seeing that Lin Xu seemed to be a little hesitant, Qiu Chen secretly sighed that he was not used to being arbitrary after all, so he said: "You should know that it is also your eldest brother's wish to let you study." Although your eldest brother can't do it now, but I still have a Rejuvenation Hall entry in our family, and in the future, as the medicine is sold, we can still get a profit, and life will only get better. You don't have to worry about things at home, what odd jobs can I do without you, if it is an autumn harvest and autumn planting, you can also ask Mr. for leave to come back to help for a few days. There's nothing to worry about! ”
Lin Xu cherishes the opportunity to go to school, he has always been very diligent and hardworking, his brain is also very smart, and his academic performance is very good, which is very valued by his husband Xu Fuzi. But when the news of the eldest brother's death came, the sister-in-law still had to raise two nephews and nieces...... The situation at home is like this, and he does not complain that he cannot go to school.
When he heard Qiu Chen let him continue to go to school just now, he was first worried about his family; Second, he couldn't bear to let his widowed sister-in-law work for him to study. Listening to the sister-in-law's analysis, the sister-in-law considered all kinds of situations very comprehensively, and the sister-in-law said that he could also take care of the family while going to school, which also touched him.
broke it open, explained it clearly, and the two people reached an agreement. Lin Xu was very moved, got up very solemnly and bowed to Qiu Chen, and agreed to return to school.
After talking to Lin Xu about returning to school, Qiu Chen consciously let go of a matter of his heart, and slept very peacefully and sweetly all night.
Yesterday I went to the playground and waited in various queues, but fortunately, I was timid and did not dare to try many projects...... l3l4
