Chapter 36 Preparation for School

After Dong Ruyi finished drying the rice, he began to follow his family to plant rice. www.biquge.infoRice planting is not too hot compared to cutting rice, and the speed is much faster than cutting rice.

When she was doing Meishi, she suddenly heard Dong Ping'an next to her shouting, "Ruyi, there is a leech on your feet." ”

Dong Ruyi raised his leg and found that there was a green and not green, yellow and not yellow thing on it, and he was so frightened that he shook his feet, but the leech did not move at all.

Dong Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward to help her tear it off and fell to the side. Ruyi saw blood flowing from her feet.

But she didn't feel any pain, and if she didn't find it, she wouldn't keep sucking.

Dong Ruyi threw the idea in his head, the sky will descend on the people, and she must suffer first, and she endures it.

Tie your feet with a straw, and the amazing thing is that the straw can stop the bleeding very quickly.

When she saw two leeches sucking Masami on her feet again, her face turned pale with fright, and she jumped up screaming and ran to the shore.

On the ridge of the field, I was about to tear it off, grabbed it on the soft one, held back the nausea, and dragged it for a while and still couldn't pull it off. I endured the creepiness, and I added a little more strength to pull it down.

At this time, I felt that I was in my hand for an extra second, and I felt panicked, and I closed my eyes and threw it far away.

I refused to go into the water this time, and people who haven't been in contact with it really can't understand the creepy feeling. Dong Pingkang laughed next to him.

She didn't care about these laughs, and complained wildly in her heart, she needed to be cautious when crossing, and she didn't have to wear it to the farmhouse.

Twisted and stood on the ridge and began to throw the seedlings. Dong Banshan and Dong Ping'an were kind enough to leave the surroundings to her.

In this way, the half-month double robbery finally passed, and the Dong family rested at home for a day.

After dinner, Dong Banshan planned to go to the master to ask about school. He was also afraid of disturbing the business of the master during the day, so he picked up a pine oil wood and drew a fire from the stove in a few burning eyes, and went to the village by the light of the fire.

The Master's house is located in front of the village, and instead of the deep alleys and patio buildings in the village, it is a detached courtyard, with a school in front and a residence in the back.

There are verdant bamboo forests in the yard, Dong Banshan walked along the bamboo forest, and all he could smell was the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves and herbs.

Dong Banshan saw the middle-aged man sitting opposite, dressed in a Confucian shirt, elegant and majestic, he was born with respect for scholars, and hurriedly said his intention to come here.

Dong Fuzi was a little shocked when he heard his words, and asked again: "You really decided to send both children to the school?" ”

Hearing his intention, he was a little curious, he was present when his family split up not long ago, and he also knew that his family's situation was not very good, and the family property was not much.

Dong Banshan didn't dare to treat it lightly, and hurriedly nodded back: "Yes, master, I just don't know if my eldest son is fourteen years old, can he still go to school?" ”

Dong Fuzi touched his small beard and smiled: "There is no class in the school, not to mention that he is older and does not prevent things, if he works hard now, he will not have some achievements in the future." ”

In the expectant and waiting eyes of the family, Dong Banshan came back with the lit pine oil wood, and the whole family rushed forward and asked anxiously, "How is it, has the master agreed?" ”

Dong Banshan didn't sell Guan Zi either, nodded and said that he agreed, and said that Ping An is a motivated person, and even though he is older, he can work hard now.

Dong Ping'an asked worriedly: "Dad, then did you ask how to collect the bundle?"

Dong Banshan recalled the scene when he was at the master's house, and secretly praised the master in his heart, worthy of being a scholar. He replied with a smile: "He said half a tael of silver, because it is collected once a year, and you go in the second half of the year, so you will receive half of the price, and your brothers will only collect one tael." ”

Dong Ping'an thought to himself that it was okay, he should be more busy with one or two silver, and do more things at home after school.

Dong Banshan also said that during this time, the school was also on holiday, and they were busy cutting rice and planting seedlings, and the school would start the day after tomorrow. You have to bring your own books and pen and ink.

Dong Ruyi knew that there was also a farm holiday in the school here. He slapped his face happily and said with a smile, "It's just right, tomorrow we will go to the town to sell cold noodles, and then we will go to the bookstore to buy some and come back." ”

Dong Ping'an saw that his father hadn't talked about the issues he cared about, and his anxious sweat came out, so he hurriedly asked again. "Dad, do you remember what the master said he wanted to buy?"

Dong Banshan looked up and thought about it, and when he saw his son's anxious face, he didn't tease his son anymore. "The master said that enlightenment uses thousand-character texts and three-character scriptures."

"I don't know how much it costs?" Dong Ping'an frowned, counting with his fingers. has completely fallen into the eyes of money, desperately thinking about how much money will be spent, how much will it be spent, what will the family do?

Dong Ruyi saw Dong Ping'an lying down, and comforted: "It's enough to buy one copy of the same, and you two will share it then." Moreover, brother, we made nearly one tael from selling lotus leaves, and three taels from the shopkeeper Chen, which can be used as tuition for you. ”

Dong Ping'an listened happily and thanked him again and again.

Dong Banshan's face suddenly turned bad. I feel that I have lost my role as a family, how can I let my daughter earn money to support her brother and brother to study? It's his responsibility, okay? But I was thinking about how to make money.

"Ruyi, don't spend the money you earn, I should spend the money."

The others chuckled at his appearance, making his face redder even more visibly.

Liu Shi saw that his hands were almost good, as long as he didn't do this heavy work, there was no problem, "I'll go tomorrow, I'll sell food, and I don't worry about you children." "The brother and sister also feel good, and they have more things to buy tomorrow.

Dong Pingkang remembered the scene of carrying a schoolbag to school in the future, not to mention how beautiful it was, and asked excitedly: "Dad, then do we still need a bookcase?" ”

Dong Banshan hurriedly responded, he had never done the bookbox himself, he had only seen the children who went to school in the village from afar. They are all small boxes made of wood or bamboo, and there are two straps that make it easy to carry on your shoulders.

"Tomorrow I will go to the front mountain to cut some bamboo and come back, and find the village craftsman to make two for you, and I promise to carry them on your back the day after tomorrow."

The mountains behind Lotus Village are all pine forests and shrubs, the types of the front mountains are more mixed, there are more bamboos, or the kind of bamboos are tall and big, some are as long as thirty or forty meters, and the people in the village like to cut them back and compile commonly used things. It is like a basket for things, a dustpan, a mat for drying grain, a mat on a bed, and a stool for sitting.

When there was a demand, a profession also appeared in the village, that is, the craftsman, and many delicate things had to be made at home. I went to the mountains to cut the bamboo, and invited the carpenter home to do it, in addition to the salary, I also had to provide food.

This profession is also a very popular profession in the village, you see who doesn't need these things, usually come to work, do not need to be exposed to the sun and rain, have a good salary, but also eat and drink well. When the farm is busy, it is good to be able to work in the fields again.
