Chapter 44: Scare away an elder brother

"Don't come here, I'm just talking about it, talking about it." Under the cold moonlight, in the slightly moving clouds, in the hut shuttled by the evening breeze, Bai Hua stepped back step by step, timidly looking at the girl approaching with a hemp rope in front of her.

"Brother, you'd better not move." Bai Jiaojiao chased Bai Birch who ran in circles around the broken wooden table, and after several laps, he finally ran out of breath. "I said what are you running, stop."

"If you don't chase me, you won't run, and don't use hemp rope." Bai Hua retreated to the door, didn't he just talk casually, why did Jiaojiao treat him as a thief, and use hemp rope.

"I don't need hemp rope, what do I use." As soon as the words fell, Bai Jiaojiao saw Bai Hua push the door and slip away with lightning speed, and pouted speechlessly. This person is really, inexplicably...... Depressed, he turned around and asked Bai Li, "Brother, what is he running?" ”

"I guess you thought you were going to tie him up and put on scissors and embroidery needles?" Bai Li guessed kindly, and then asked hesitantly. "Kyauk-kyuk, you're really going to use this against that thief."

"That's it? If that thief can really take people away without knowing it, what is the use of my broken scissors? Bai Jiaojiao smiled dumbly, didn't that topic just now have passed? What is this, I want to measure his waistline, where to tie him.

"Measure your waistline?"

"Of course, I don't know how you guys make clothes."

The scissors are cut fabric, the hemp rope is measured, and the embroidery needle is sewn. To say that this head is the largest and the least courageous, it is right to say that it is white birch.

"Kyaukjiao wants to make us clothes?" Hearing that his sister-in-law sewed new clothes he also shared, Bai Li's warm eyes suddenly swelled with a little excitement, like a child with sugar. This is the first time Kyauk-kyauk-kyauk's gift has been given to him!

"Of course, I specially chose it for you, and I see if you like the color." knew that Bai Li didn't pay attention to what she bought, and showed him the materials she had chosen.

"It's good-looking, of course it's good-looking, and it looks good in anything." Bai Li seemed to touch it with great curiosity, and he was afraid that he would touch it. Then he obediently stretched out his hand and stood in front of Bai Jiaojiao, his back straight, and he tossed Bai Jiaojiao motionlessly. "Is that okay?"

Yo, I can't see that Bai Li, a scholar-like handsome young man, looks quite sturdy. Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but withdraw his fingers that were about to move, and endured not to pinch the two handfuls, this, everyone has a love for beauty.

"Kyauk-kyao, the handwriting is good." Bai Li carefully looked at the number of jΓΉ that Bai Kyaukjiao had written down on the board with a burnt wooden stick, but in his heart, he secretly wrote down that he would buy some paper and ink that was too expensive on weekdays tomorrow and bring it back. "I heard that you have flipped through all of Erlang's books, and you like to read?"

He still vaguely remembers that when this little sister was illiterate, he liked to drool over those rare books, and then Bai Hua went to the school and was bored alone, and when he came back, he talked about the content of the class with Bai Jiaojiao, who was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and thought that she had memorized it all at that time.

It's just that I didn't expect that the third sister, who everyone thought would never get better in this life, is now so exquisite, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"I like it very much, but the books in the second brother's place are so boring, and no one has borrowed books for me since he refused to go to the school, and A-Niang is in charge of it."

She wants to read books, how can she understand what the world is like without reading books, and what a terrible thing it is for an intellectual who has been an intellectual for more than 20 years to suddenly become illiterate.

It's a pity that every household here regards books as treasures, and ordinary people can't have any books, even the most basic things like literacy stickers are only one in Lizheng's house, and if the children in the family want to be literate, they have to carry things to borrow them.

There are some pirated books on the market, but the workmanship is rough, and even the words in them are wrong.

It's no wonder that all the scholars in this world are highly respected, and the entrance to Xiucai is even better in ancestral tomb feng shui. After all, if you want to get ahead, you must not only have talent, but also have the financial resources to buy books and invite Mr.

"I heard that Brother, you often read idle books? Well? "I don't know where Bai Li got the books, she wants to see them too. Bai Jiaojiao used a kind of "you should understand what I mean" eyes, and waited eagerly for Bai Li to consciously enter the set. Since you've asked, it's time to get to the end.

Is this a scoundrel playing with him? Bai Li sighed and nodded helplessly. "Other people's books are regarded as family treasures, and they will not be borrowed lightly, but when my brother was in the pharmacy, he once helped an old man who had a sudden emergency, which was an unintentional move, but I didn't expect the old man to remember it clearly."

"So that old man has to thank you, brother." Bai Jiaojiao suddenly realized. "The old man is rich?"

"Not really, but the old man was a man of learning, and he had a large collection of books at home. He saw that I was interested in the books and agreed to lend them to me. ”

Bai Jiaojiao has another problem. "Then why didn't Brother take the opportunity to copy a few books, didn't these books be copied by others?"

"That's not true, although the book collection is precious, it is not a private treasure. It's just that copying books is time-consuming and laborious, and the ink and paper are expensive and expensive, so if you see a very incisive statement, you can copy it down, and just remember the rest. Bai Li only thought that Bai Jiaojiao was curious and patiently explained to her.

"Is ink expensive?"

"The ink is average, and the expensive is paper. Ordinary paper is almost a penny, but the texture is poor and it is not resistant to keep. The paper used to transcribe books is about three pennies a piece. Bai Li moved over the stool and sat down, it was rare for Bai Jiaojiao to have such a heavy curiosity, of course he had to explain it to her.

"It's so expensive." Bai Jiaojiao smacked her tongue and compared the size of the paper, a small piece of paper is comparable to her bowl of fish balls, what is the price of this world. "If you make a mistake, you're wasting a piece of paper."

"That's why the books in the shop sell so expensive." And it is extremely non-standardized. "If you want to read it, I'll borrow you a few copies next time, what do you want to read?" I'm afraid that those books are very boring, and I won't be able to read them according to my personality.

Bai Jiaojiao sighed deeply, her face was melancholy, she seemed to have found a great business opportunity again. It's just sitting at home and not going out, God wants to drop a piece of it for her, and she sees a pie that she has the ability to eat but can't touch for the time being. Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too capable.
