Chapter Ninety-Nine: Pushing Your Lungs
Tooth down!
The poor little girl finally burst into tears!
In the afternoon, Liu Yao then went to the school with his schoolbag on his back, and Du Xiaoxi was called by Mrs. Liu after waking up from a nap.
Mrs. Liu is an old lady in the house, who has been around her husband, son and grandson all her life, and she usually doesn't like to go out to socialize, but Mrs. Liu is a master who can't sit still, and if she doesn't go out for a few days, she will be like lice all over her body.
Mrs. Liu used to listen to the gossip of Mama Zhao and the eight villages of Mama Zhao, and later after mahjong and cards became popular, she played mahjong with the three grandmothers of the family, and waited for her grandson to come back from the Du family Mrs. Liu found that she had one more thing, she wanted to devote herself to cultivating the village aunt and granddaughter-in-law into a qualified housewife.
"Happy girl, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, this is the obedient words of those who have no money to study for the sake of face, this woman can't live just for a face, and being talented and good-looking is a model of a woman." Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu was angry, Second Mrs. Liu couldn't look down on anything except giving birth to Liu Yao, and she didn't know a single word in Douda, so it was obvious that she should have handled the affairs of the inner house, but she had to do everything in person. The daughter-in-law is already crooked, and the granddaughter-in-law must be adjusted and taught well!
"Xi girl, you are now seven years old, you should also study some books, I heard that your Du family only accepts male babies, your brothers want to be literate after you go back, you first follow your brothers to recognize a few words, and wait for almost to learn to account management. Slowly, you have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, calligraphy and painting, so that you won't lose your little brother's face when you marry in the future. β
Nani?
Learning to write? Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, what the hell is that?
Nearly 20 years of study in my previous life is really enough!
Du Xiaoxi has already thought about it, anyway, there is not much difference between simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters, as long as the knowledge of words is not regarded as illiterate. As for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, in addition to true love, isn't that an effective way to find a good husband in order to increase popularity? But she is already famous, and there is no need to fight further!
Mrs. Liu didn't know that the sadness in Du Xiaoxi's heart was flowing backwards, and she caught Du Xiaoxi talking about the benefits of reading and literacy, and by the way, she complained about the second daughter-in-law's lack of learning and routine brainwashing, Du Xiaoxi was able to marry into their Liu family It is a great blessing, and she can treat her good grandson well in the future and give birth to her great-grandson early.
Du Xiaoxi hugged Mrs. Liu's study and returned to her room without love. I thought about escaping the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting such an elegant housewife course.
When Liu Yao came back from school, Du Xiaoxi was still holding her chin and thinking, she was a person who didn't have any pursuits, she just thought that she could be happy every day, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were not essential skills in life. Anyway, she is also a person with a fiancΓ©, and no one wants to shoot it in the future! She Du Xiaoxi don't go looking for sin!
"Isn't Sister Xi happy?" Liu Yao sat down next to Du Xiaoxi with a smile on her face, and tapped her little nose with her hand.
Du Xiaoxi touched his nose and shook his head, "No." "It can't be said that she doesn't want to study hard and make progress every day.
Liu Yao didn't ask much, thinking that she was bored staying at home alone, so she said: "My father said that there are a lot of interesting things in the shop from the mountains." The day after tomorrow, I'll take you to see it? β
"Good! When the time comes, let's bring grandma with us, grandma is too lonely to be alone! "The old lady has learned to go out and play, so she shouldn't just stare at her!
Recently, Shanshui County is boiling because of the fleet from the mountain plain, it is said that the mountain plain is outstanding, and there are many things that are not available in other places, Du Xiaoxi has always wanted to go and see, but the family has no time to take her to see.
"Brother Xiaotu, where are you going? Will you take me with you, too? He Weiwei came in with a smile and directly pulled Liu Yao's arm and shook it.
Du Xiaoxi glanced at He Weiwei with interest, when she was dead?
Liu Yao has a gentle temperament, and he can't say anything to refuse to He Weiwei's cousin, and he nodded to indicate that it's okay.
"Lady, your bird's nest is ready." He Weiwei's maid hosta came up with a cup of bird's nest and respectfully placed it on the table.
He Weiwei glanced at Du Xiaoxi proudly, and said to Liu Yaojiao: "Brother Xiaotu." Do you want to eat bird's nest, my aunt said it was a new product from the mountains and plains. β
Liu Yao shook his head, the good things at home are all coming to him first, he has already eaten, and it is better to eat well when it is time for dinner.
He Weiwei then looked at Du Xiaoxi kindly, "I think Sister Xiaoxi hasn't eaten yet, right?" Would you like to try it? β
Du Xiaoxi looked at the little smug and disdainful eyes, speechless for a while, it was really a child's provocative way, she had not only drunk bird's nest but also Nestle in her previous life!
"No, aren't you toothy? Drink it. β
He Weiwei's face suddenly turned blue and black and glared at Du Xiaoxi angrily, it was really a pot that couldn't be opened.
Du Xiaoxi motioned to He Weiwei to eat quickly, turned her head and whispered to Liu Yao: "I heard Master say that bird's nest is actually a nest built by birds for their cubs, and those birds use saliva to build a kind of medicinal herb into bird's nest. Then lay eggs and hatch the birds inside, when the birds are just born, they eat and drink Lazar in the bird's nest, and when the birds can fly away, people will pick the dried bird's nest and sell it. Master's birds are very unclean when they spit and spit, and it is better to eat two more dates than to eat bird's nest. β
Du Xiaoxi thought that his voice was very small. was heard clearly by Liu Yao and He Weiwei.
Liu Yao was diaphragmatic for a while, thinking that the bird's nest she had eaten before was made of saliva, her face was a little bad, it seemed that she still had to listen to Uncle Du's words, boys should be extensive, and men should not eat that kind of expensive thing, and the bird's nest should be left to grandma and sister Xi to eat in the future.
He Weiwei was in the posture of showing off in front of Du Xiaoxi, the village girl. When tasting the bird's nest, the expression on her face was also very enjoyable, but Du Xiaoxi spat for a while, and He Weiwei could feel the taste of salty secretions in her throat. I can't swallow it, I can't spit it out, it's extremely uncomfortable.
He Weiwei threw down her beloved bird's nest and her cousin burst into tears again.
"Haha...... I scared her! Du Xiaoxi lay on the table and laughed.
Liu Yao "......" He thought it was true, but it made sense, he wanted to ask his father how the bird's nest came from.
In Liu's house, a few people lived, and Du Xiaoxi returned to his house with big bags.
Divide the four treasures of the study given by Mrs. Liu to Du Qi and Du Xiaohu, and Mrs. Liu let Du Xiaoxi learn to read and write.
A few days later, I went to see the master, and Du Xiaoxi was already full of confidence and ready to let the master help cheat.
"Master, what do you think of letting me read and write at home?"
"Yes, seven years old, not young." Master Xile glanced at Du Xiaoxi and nodded.
"However, Master also knows that people also know astronomy and geography, although it is only a little scratch, but they understand the big truth. Let's just learn it all over again, right? β
"Literacy is exempt, but writing is always impossible."
"Okay, it's okay to practice calligraphy, but what the hell is qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? Is it okay not to learn? β
"Cultivating sentiments. You can learn it. β
Du Xiaoxi came to the master to get rid of these elegant things, and she is not a young lady, playing the piano to the pigs at home!
Du Xiaoxi climbed onto the bed and diligently pinched Master Xile's shoulder and said, "Master, do you think this is good?" Say to the outside world that you are teaching me how to read. As for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you just say that my rotten wood cannot be carved, okay? β
"No, the monks don't lie." Master Joy enjoyed the straightening of his shoulders and said honestly.
"Master. Master, if you are done, just say yes! Du Xiaoxi shook Master Xile's arm and coquettishly, this trick is very effective.
The Master of Joy was unmoved.
Du Xiaoxi pouted, "Master, you are partial, they all say that Senior Brother Ning is extraordinary, and you taught him well, so it doesn't matter how he comes to me." As a new generation of monks in a harmonious socialist society, how can you be partial, how can you favor sons over women, and the teacher brother will not teach me? Saying that, Du Xiaoxi deliberately grabbed Master Xile's back and tapped Master's back with his head.
Master Joy wanted to shout: My apprentice is self-taught!
"Ahem, good apprentice, Master Wei agreed, don't push Master's lungs!" Master Joy broke his apprentice's hand with his backhand. Coughing repeatedly.
Du Xiaoxi stopped in embarrassment and didn't dare to move, and asked in disbelief: "Master, did I hit your lungs?" β
"Nonsense! Where did you learn the crooked tricks! β
"Every time I do this, my dad pokes him in the heart, and his heart softens."
Master Xile looked at his apprentice with a disdainful expression, "Hmph, isn't that more painful?" β
Du Xiaoxi: "......" said that the harmony between master and apprentice in Kazakhstan is a family?
Although the process is a bit heart-wrenching, Du Xiaoxi's learning is still done smoothly, as long as she is taught by Master Xile to read and write.
Du Xiaoxi got this thing done, and she helped her master do her little work for two days in a beautiful mood, and then went home in a hurry.
In front of the patriarch Du Lao's father, Du Xiaoxi announced that Du Xiaoxi was studying with the master, and Du Xiaoxi lived a study life of occasionally writing big characters, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
For this matter, everyone in the Du family unanimously praised Master Xile. By the way, I made a review of myself.
The boys of their Du clan will go back to the village to study when they are about five years old, of course, not all children are suitable for the path of scholars, and there are only a few scholars in the Du clan who have been competing for so many years.
There are roughly three responses to the children of ethnology, the first is a person who is very talented in reading. Regardless of whether the family is poor or not, the clan will give a certain amount of rice food every year to support their studies; For the second type, those who are self-motivated but not suitable for learning, the masters will also teach them carefully, but they will make adjustments according to the situation, and these people can develop towards the management of the accounts; For the third kind of Du Wu Du Ba, who can only be naughty and mischievous and can't learn at all, the master's way of dealing with it is very simple, as long as he can write the names of his family. You can recognize the commonly used numbers, and you can also recognize the deed of sale, the deed of death, the living deed, the IOU, and other common needs to be signed and pledged, and the contract related to the life of the family can be closed smoothly.
Daddy Du's sons have completely inherited his body and brain, and at present, even Du Liu, who is the most serious in learning, and Du Jiu, who is the most hard-working, have not been praised by the master for their talent, and they can go to the officialdom to mix in the future. Not to mention Du Er, Du Wu, Du Ba, these students who are eager to be swept out with brooms by the masters of the school.
The Du family never thought of letting Du Xiaoxi go to school too, and most of the little ladies in their countryside were blind except for the landlord's family.
Daddy Du is a rough man who doesn't care about this kind of thing, and Grandma Du and Du Niang don't have the awareness that the girl wants to go to school.
It wasn't until Du Xiaoxi brought it up that they remembered that they had ignored this problem.
Now that I heard that Master Xile has taken over, Grandma Du and Du Niang sighed again, Master Xile is really a good master who is conscientious.
β¦β¦
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Du Xiaoxi has to sigh that there are many people in the family.
In the past three years, the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son, the second sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, the third sister-in-law gave birth to a son, and a son has been added in the past few days.
The sons are still growing up, the grandchildren are giving birth one after another, and Grandma Du and Du Niang are happy and worried.
Daddy Du is also worried, half of the eldest son eats the poor old man, the joy of having more sons has become a worry about not being able to feed his sons as his sons become more and more able to eat, and now the family is not enough to eat on acres of land, and he has to buy some at a high price every year to eat.
Daddy Du really can't imagine what his family would be like now without his old daughter.
Nine sons have twenty acres of land, and one of them has less than three acres; Waiting for their turn will be less for their sons. After a few generations, will their family be divided into five lands like many families with many sons, and their descendants will not even be alive at all.
Daddy Du is a successful person, and he knows that the family can't rely on his daughter, he has to work hard to save something for the children, so that the children will not have nothing to eat.
Therefore, when Liu Erye proposed that there was a large shop in the Liu family on the new wharf and asked the Du family if they wanted it, Father Du immediately agreed, took out his and Du Niang's coffins, and after earning Du Xiaoxi's consent, he moved her dowry silver, and finally bought a shop.
With the relationship between the two families, they are so old that they can rent one room from the Liu family, but Daddy Du doesn't want the people of the Liu family to think that they are living on the Liu family, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry inferior in the future, so Daddy Du still gritted his teeth and paid the full amount.
After some preparation, the Du family's third shop, the Du family's restaurant, is finally about to open!
The more lucrative food shop was what Daddy Du wanted to open at the beginning, but because the family didn't get together, he finally opened a grocery store. Now the men in the family don't have to repair the waterways, and Du Wu is a few years old and can say that he is married, waiting for the new daughter-in-law to enter one by one, and there is no need to worry about not having enough people.
What's more, in order to be simple and convenient, the Du family sells mostly things that can be prepared in advance, cakes, small snacks, cold noodles, braised meat, boiled fish, stewed vegetables, these things are eaten by many people and trouble-free, as long as a few people are left here to support in the future, they can add a lot of input to the family.
