Chapter 0245: Academy
Today is the day Kevin Ge leaves home.
"Daddy, the second brother is going to join the army, are you willing to do it?"
"How can parents be willing to travel for their children, but men are ambitious in all directions."
"Mother, my father always says that men are ambitious in all directions, which shows that they are patriarchal."
Wu Limei laughed: "This has become your mantra, as long as you can get out, your father and mother will not stop you." ”
Ge Kailin nodded vigorously: "It's still good for my mother to be good to my daughter, unlike my father's partiality." ”
Ge Tianyu smiled bitterly, among the three children, his most precious is his daughter, and his daughter always says that he is patriarchal, which is really wronged.
That is, for the matter of going to the town, every time he goes back to the town, his daughter pesters him to follow, the road is far, if he rides a horse, his daughter is delicate, he is reluctant to let his daughter blow the wind, if he takes a carriage, the road is rugged, he is even more reluctant to let his daughter be bumpy, so nine times out of ten he does not agree, his daughter holds a grudge, and always says that he is patriarchal.
Again, the world is sinister, the town is not peaceful, although I am not afraid of that family, but I have to guard against it, who makes my daughter more and more beautiful, if you really meet, it is still the daughter who suffers.
Looking at his father's expression, Ge Kailin also smiled bitterly.
The second brother is about to leave, and her father and mother are naturally uncomfortable, how could she not know that her father loves her the most, but she just gags to tease her father to divert his mind.
Here the father and daughter joked, and Gree on the side was in a trance.
Ge Kaiwen and Wang Hongbin are in the same class, Ge Kaiwen has passed the school and left school, but Wang Hongbin doesn't know how, her filial piety will expire after the winter, I don't know if Wang Hongbin will really marry her, that day was just a verbal talk, and the marriage was not decided.
Ge Liping, who is an aunt like Ge Li'e, did not show up.
For several years, Ge Kaiwen has been ignoring Ge Liping, and Ge Liping also knows that she is hateful in the past, and her nephew is about to leave, and she is afraid that her nephew will not go well with her. She didn't come here, but she didn't go out to work to herd the sheep, but stayed in her own yard.
Gejiazhuang was built, and Ge Tianyu really built a sheep farm for Ge Kailin. Buying a large flock of sheep, Glipping volunteered to herd the sheep for G.
Ge Ruihao is an uncle, and he was originally going to deliver it, but today happened to be the day to deliver goods to the town, and Ge Tianyu couldn't go, only he went. He's been here a long time ago.
Ge Kaiwu went to Shengcheng to study at the beginning of the year, because the distance was too far, even if there was a three-day rest time in two months, the time back and forth was still too hurried, he said that he would come back during the summer vacation, but he didn't expect to miss the farewell to his second brother.
"Uncle and aunt, Xiang'er is here."
Since moving to live next door to Xiaoshan, Xu Xiang's names for the Ge family have also changed, and he has changed his name to Ge Tianyu and Wu Limei as uncles and aunts, and he also calls Ge Kaiwen's three brothers and sisters by their names.
He also asked Ge Tianyu and his wife to call him Xiang'er. asked Ge Kaiwu and Ge Kailin to call him Brother Xiang.
Xu Xiang is here to pick up Ge Kaiwen and set off, he will directly send Ge Kaiwen into the army, and then go back to Shengcheng to study.
"Uncles and aunts, please rest assured, Kevin only does paperwork in the army, and he can also bring the little guy with him, it won't be too hard, Zhou Ruofa's station is not far from Kevin, and he can also take care of Kevin."
The obvious change in the past two years is that he talks a little more, and occasionally says a few comforting words. Although it is still concise and to the point.
I just don't know if he's like this somewhere else.
Xu Xiang also had a small basket in his hand and handed it to Ge Kailin: "This is what I picked on the way, I don't know how it tastes." ”
It is a wild grape, green and red. There are still a few that are about to turn purple, Ge Kailin sighed, it's a pity, few can eat, if it takes a while, it may be delicious.
Reach for it. Xu Xiang retracted his hand and asked, "Can't you eat it?" ”
This guy, is it possible that he can read minds, Ge Kailin muttered to herself.
"Your thoughts are written on your face." Xu Xiang chuckled.
Oh, is it so obvious, Ge Kailin touched her face and said with a smile: "This fruit was picked too early, it is not ripe, and the taste is sour." ”
Without saying a word, Xu Xiang turned around and walked out.
Ge Kailin knew what Xu Xiang was going to do, so she hurriedly called: "Hey, don't throw away the basket together." ”
The basket is so small and so knitted that it looks really cute.
Xu Xiang turned around: "Are you calling me?" Why don't you call me Brother Xiang, I can't do it. ”
Uh, I can open my mouth to call you facial paralysis, but I really can't open my mouth when I call you Brother Xiang.
Seeing that Ge Kailin was just staring at him, his expression was unpredictable, Xu Xiang turned his head and left the hospital, waving his hand and throwing the basket into the river not far away.
He didn't enter the hospital again, took the reins of the horse from the childish little guy who would never change, and waited outside the hospital with a wooden face.
Liu Mo had already packed up and waited outside the courtyard gate with two horses.
Ge Tianyu and Wu Limei did not show reluctance, but only told him to remember to eat as Ge Kaiwen usually did when he was in school.
Ge Kaiwen studied too hard, and it was common for him to forget to eat.
Until a few people galloped away, Xu Xiang didn't look at Ge Kailin again.
Ge Kailin felt inexplicable, how could Xu Xiang, an eighteen-year-old person, be like a child who can't get sugar, and he should be angry with an eight-year-old child, really.
The second brother is leaving, I don't know when we will be able to meet, the fifth brother only goes home once in the past six months, and she is the only one left by her father's mother's side, and she will make her father and mother happy more in the future, doesn't it mean that her daughter is her father's intimate little padded jacket.
Ge Kailin was about to go out, a woman came to the front of the courtyard, saw Ge Kailin, quickly rubbed her hands on her body a few times, stretched out her hand to help Ge Kailin, and a little cringe, Ge Kailin took the initiative to stretch out her hand, and the woman was bold to help.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, are you here for something?" Gordon asked.
"It's been half an hour since the class time, and I haven't seen the little master arrive, so everyone asked me to take a look." Sister-in-law Zhang's voice is not low.
This sister-in-law is only in her early thirties, and because she has been working in the fields all year round, she looks like a person in her forties and fifties.
This Shui Jue, I can't change my memory, I told her last night to go to the school early this morning to explain to Mrs. Lan, saying that I will go later, it seems that she forgot again, and she has to hurry up and get a tight spell for her.
Ge Kailin chatted with Sister-in-law Zhang all the way.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, is it a bit difficult to read and write?"
"Ouch, I'm only learning to read at this age, how can I not work hard, but I'm not afraid of hard work, the day before yesterday I went to the town to sell eggs, someone likes my eggs are big, and said that as long as I go back to sell, just send it directly to her concierge, and I wrote the address. Haha, with the note, I'm not afraid that my brain will forget jì, and it's so convenient to recognize the word. If you work hard, you can work hard. ”
"Do you recognize the words on the address?"
"Most of them don't recognize it, ask me about the thatch, and I don't recognize the whole thatch, no, I want to ask the little master today. But the little master didn't arrive for a long time, so I volunteered to come. ”
"Today, my family has something to delay for a while, and my family Shui Jue may have forgotten to go to school to say something, Sister-in-law Zhang is not strange."
"It's not weird, it's not weird, the Ge family is a good person, they don't bully people and teach them to read and write, unlike the old lady, lady and young master in the town, when they see us, it's like seeing a wild dog, and they can deal with it casually.
"When I was selling eggs that day, I saw a girl the size of the little master. With her father and mother selling things on the street, a young master said that the girl was her family's fugitive slave, and she was taken away, ouch, the child's father and mother cried a lot.
"My thatch begged me to go to town several times, but I didn't dare to take him with me, for fear that he would be snatched away like that child."
"Isn't this a robbery, the government doesn't care?"
"The little master is kind-hearted, and he doesn't know the sinister outside, since the young master dares to rob it. It can be seen that she is not afraid of the government, a good-looking lady like Xiaofuzi, but don't go to the town to play by herself, that girl suffers bad luck because she is good-looking. ”
Shui Jue packed up his things and came out. The sixth lady of her own family was already supported by Sister-in-law Zhang and walked forward, and she followed behind.
This kind of thing happens every day, the sixth miss is easy-going, and she talks and acts like an adult, not only the family likes it, but the surrounding villagers also like to talk to the sixth lady.
When I first moved here. Regardless of the master or the subordinates at home, they get up early and return late, and everyone is very busy.
Because she was too busy, no one noticed the changes in Miss Six, and it was because Miss Six was sick that the doctor found that the hematoma on Miss Six's face was almost gone, leaving only pink marks.
Years ago, the blood tumors on Miss Six's face had all disappeared, and her mouth and nose had become delicate, Shui Jue still remembered the appearance of Miss Gu when she first entered Gefu, and Miss Six is now more and more like Miss Gu at that time.
Also, the fluff between the eldest lady's eyebrows has also completely fallen off, and her appearance looks much better.
When I came here, the wind and the sun were blowing, and the handsome and fair-skinned beautiful men like the eldest lord were tanned a lot, and the eldest lady was getting whiter and whiter, and she looked younger and younger.
Mother Liu said that the eldest lady and the sixth lady are good people and have to be favored by God.
Shui Jue nodded inwardly, what Mother Liu said was right.
When Ge Kailin was about to arrive at the school, he saw that there were already people on the road who couldn't help but look this way, and saw Ge Kailin from far and near, and the people who were watching quickly ran back to the school, shouting: "The little master is here, the little master is here." ”
The people who were playing outside all entered the class in an instant, and Ge Kaiyuan was at the end and was still pulled in.
Entering the classroom, the scene in front of her made Ge Kailin stunned.
Uh, what is this on the lectern, how does it look so familiar, it's just wet, the basket is low and there is a puddle of water, the basket has bubbled and is a little deformed.
Could it be that it was the basket that Xu Xiang threw into the river, wasn't he gone?
Ge Kailin asked the students in the audience, "Who put this here?" ”
There were many people chattering in the audience, some said they didn't pay attention, some said they were there when they entered the door, no one admitted that they put it by themselves, Ge Kailin asked Shui Jue to put away the basket, and it was important to go to class first.
When the bell of the blue lady in the courtyard rang, it was a sign that today's class was over.
The students saluted the Master, went home from class, and took advantage of this time to tell the Master.
"Little Master, tomorrow I will be busy in the field, and I may come later."
"Okay, remember to write the words you learned today a few more times."
"Little master, my mother's birthday the day after tomorrow, I have to rush over with my family tomorrow, I'm afraid I will have to delay for a few days."
"It's okay, you studied well today, and you can continue to study when you come back."
"Little Master, this note has been broken by me, please ask the little master to write another one for me."
"Sister-in-law Zhang, how did you get this note?"
"I was so nervous that I accidentally broke it."
"I'll write it to you, Sister-in-law Zhang can't remember which words, Shui Jue, take the literacy book."
"Oh, this, this, and, this, and, oh, I can't remember."
"Isn't that it?"
"Yes, yes, the little master has a really good memory."
These students in Ge's private school, unlike the students in the formal school, all take time to go to school, and come to class when they have time, if there is something to do, for the sake of livelihood, they can only put school aside first.
Ge Kailin compiled a unified literacy book, which is a common word that can be used in life.
She teaches according to others, and if she has already learned the words in the literacy book, she will compile another textbook.
Moreover, what characteristics each person has, which person has learned where, which word has difficulty learning, Ge Kailin remembers it at all, and has never been confused.
Therefore, although she is only an eight-year-old female doll, her students admire her very much, and they listen carefully in class, except for Ge Kaiyuan, there are few naughty ones.
Don't look at the lively school now, let alone have students at the beginning, it's hard to see anyone other than the Ge family.
When I first came here two years ago, there were almost no people in the vicinity, and occasionally there were a few residents, like the stars in the sky on a sunny moon, sparsely and far away.
As time passed, gradually some people began to pay attention to this place, and then some people moved to the vicinity, and when Gejiazhuang began to take shape, some people came to inquire if they could rent Gejiazhuang's cultivated land and how to divide it.
The newly opened wasteland is called raw land, the land is barren, the grain production is not high, and it takes at least three years for the raw land to become mature land.
When the land was first purchased, the government allowed Ge Tianyu's wasteland to be reclaimed before the time was calculated, and the first three years were exempted from taxes, and Ge Tianyu himself had a meritorious reputation, which could be added for another three years, and the taxes collected after six years were also half of those of the commoners, so Ge Tianyu's rent for tenants was lower.
In the first three years, only 10% of the output of the tenants was collected, and after three years, 20% was collected, and after six years, the government began to collect land tax, and the Ge family collected another 10% and 30%, regardless of whether the government's land tax was increased in the future, the share would not change again.
Moreover, the Ge family had livestock and farm tools to provide to the tenants for rent, and if the tenants sold grain to the Ge family's grain store, the purchase price was slightly higher than the price of grain elsewhere, and they could also be traded directly in the village, and the Ge family themselves transported it to the grain shop in the town.
That is, the buyer is responsible for the shipping costs.
Compared with other wealthy households, the rent demanded by the Ge family in the first six years was really low enough, and after six years, the rent was also 10% lower than that of other people's families, and it also provided additional conveniences.
Gradually, more people rented, and more people moved in, and over time, after two years, the current Gejiazhuang was formed.
Indeed, as Ge Kailin said, the family members are very busy, only she has small feet and is a child, so she can't help with farm work, and she has nothing to do with family affairs, so she is very bored and wants to teach people to read.
At that time, it was only taught at Ge's house, and there were not many people.
At first, no one came to learn, and slowly someone came to try it.
Ge Kailin's classes are not as particular about many rules as the master of the school, and the lectures are easy to understand, and they teach according to the person, and the people who come to learn feel that the little master attaches great importance to themselves, and slowly more people want to learn.
Once Ge Kailin joked that she would just open a school and she would be a master.
She thought that she would be treated as a child and ignored like when she told Ge Kaiwen when she was five years old, but she didn't expect her father and mother to really build a school for her and send someone to take care of it.
Students are much more comfortable when they don't have classes in Katsurafu, and those who were hesitant come to the official class.
People who come to school just come, the Ge family does not charge, and the Ge family does not expect to earn this money, the school is only built for their daughter to pass the time, the students are not happy, the Ge family is fighting to help when there is something, the Ge family wants to pay them, and they don't want it. (To be continued.) )
