Chapter 68 Buying a pen and paper
"If it is used for enlightenment, I think it is best to have a three-character scripture and a hundred family names. These are simple and easy to learn, and it is best for your little brother to enlighten them. Zhao Ran took the surname of the hundred families and handed it to Liu Susu.
Liu Susu didn't think of so much for a while, "If it weren't for Uncle Zhao's reminder, I think I'm afraid I'd just buy some things that my younger brother can't use and go back." ”
"The most important thing for enlightenment is to lay a good foundation, so that it will not be too difficult to learn in the future." Zhao Ran said.
"Then thank you Uncle Zhao. By the way, Uncle Zhao, I still have to ask for a few stacks of good rice paper. ”
Zhao Ran nodded and asked the guy to take four stacks of rice paper for Liu Susu. "This rice paper is not too expensive, and it is the best to learn to practice calligraphy at the beginning." Liu Susu didn't expect that Zhao Ran didn't give her good rice paper because he was doing this business, but chose it for her according to her needs. Such people are really rare. Or maybe it's because of Zhang Wei's face in it, otherwise how could Zhao Ran do this?
"The texture of this rice paper is not too good, so don't put it in a too humid place when storing it to prevent mold." Zhao Ran said.
"Thank you Uncle Zhao for reminding me, and ask Uncle Zhao to settle these things in total." Now that he has picked out the things, Liu Susu is of course ready to check out and leave.
"Miss Liu, although these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are not the best, they are still average. However, since you were introduced by Lao Zhang, then I will give you a 20% discount, what do you think? Zhao Ran asked, he wanted to see if Liu Susu was a contented person, if he was not satisfied, then he would not be in this business in the future.
Twenty percent off? Originally, Liu Susu thought that with Zhang Wei's face, it was only nine percent off at most, but now Zhao Ran opened his mouth to be eight percent off, which was really unexpected by Liu Susu.
"Uncle Zhao, isn't this eighty percent too much, you are also in business."
Zhao Ran nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that the child introduced by Lao Zhang is really good, although I don't know what the potential of her little brother will be in the future, let's just say that this Miss Liu's heart and character are really rare.
"Is there any falsehood in what I Zhao Ran said? Besides, you can't be wrong because you were introduced by Lao Zhang. Zhao Ran directly finalized the price.
Of course, Liu Susu accepted it from the goodness, which can save money, of course, is the best, and there will be more places to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the future.
Zhao Ran explained the price to Liu Susu the same, the original price was not too much, but it added up to one or two or five dollars. Liu Susu's face was painful, no wonder it was said that the ancients couldn't afford to read, so they asked for so much money for just a few things.
The Xu family was also frightened when they watched it on the side, this two and a half dollars of silver, the family could use it for three months. "Susu, do you want to buy a little more?"
"Mother, these things should be bought, no matter how expensive they are. In the future, the younger brother will have to use it more often, so let's work hard to make money. Liu Susu almost paid off the money in pain.
Xu and Liu Manman helped to hold the wrapped things. Liu Susu resigned to Zhao Ran. "Uncle Zhao, then we'll go first."
Zhao Ran nodded, "I'll come back later." ”
After listening to Yuxuan, Liu Susu and others followed Li Jiang back to Qihuanglou to get the car, and naturally greeted Zhang Wei again.
"Uncle Zhang, next time we come to town, we'll go back first when it's not early today."
Zhang Wei nodded.
In this way, the three of them pushed the cart back to Siyingzi Village.
Liu Tiandong was watching the house at home, and the little guy said that he was tired of playing and was sleeping in bed.
"Brother Dong, my mother is back." Xu gently shook Liu Tiandong's shoulder.
Liu Tiandong woke up and rubbed his eyes. "Mother, eldest sister, second sister, you are back."
Liu Tiandong turned his head and saw Liu Manman holding a pen and paper in his arms, and hurriedly climbed off the bed. "Second sister, did you buy these for me?"
Liu Susu blushed and said, "This is what our three sisters and brothers use together." As he spoke, he also observed Liu Tiandong's expression to see if Liu Tiandong was unwilling.
Fortunately, Liu Tiandong didn't show any reluctance, but just shouted happily: "Okay, let's write together in the future." ”
Liu Susu smiled and handed the things in Liu Manman's arms to Liu Tiandong, "I will hand over all these papers and pens to you for safekeeping, you have to take good care of them." ”
"Second sister, you can rest assured." Liu Tiandong said loudly.
Xu changed his clothes and went to cook. Of course, Liu Manman and Liu Susu also went to help.
Liu Tiandong couldn't put it down and looked at the pen and paper in his hand, he must study hard in the future, and he is more powerful than Brother Tianlong in Dafang.
After eating, Liu Susu thought again, who in this family can enlighten Liu Tiandong?
I definitely can't do it, if I teach Brother Dong by myself, then they will definitely doubt it.
"Mother, how did you say that the children in our village were enlightened?" Liu Susu asked.
"I know that." Willow vine road.
Big sister knows? Liu Susu looked at the willow vines.
"Generally, children are enlightened in the village at the home of Sun Tongsheng, but there are very few children in the village." This is also a time when Liu Manman accidentally knew.
"Why is that?" Liu Susu didn't understand.
"People in the village have to work all day long, where do they think about enlightening children. Some of the money is to send the child to a private school, who will send the child to Sun Tongsheng's house? Willow vine said.
"Why is that?" Liu Susu still didn't understand. Since there is a private school in the village, why does this grandson still give people enlightenment?
"That's right, this Sun Tongsheng is also a poor man, and he has no children and no daughters in the family. Life is very difficult, so the village chief gave such an idea. It is said that it is only necessary for a child to give fifty catties of wheat to learn from Sun Tongsheng, not to mention that some people send their children to Sun Tongsheng. ”
The Zhuang family does not want their children to test their fame, in order to go to the town or county seat to find a lighter job to do after they know some words.
"I don't know, what about that Sun Tongsheng enlightening people?" Liu Susu was a little cautious, if that Sun Tongsheng's enlightenment was really good, wouldn't it be right to send Liu Tiandong there, and when the spring of next year begins, he will send Liu Tiandong to the school in the town anyway.
"I don't know what the specifics are, but I heard that those children will memorize some three-character scriptures and hundreds of family names when they go back." Willow vine road.
It seems that Sun Tongsheng is okay, after all, the enlightenment is the same as the current preschool kindergarten, and he doesn't expect to learn anything. Liu Susu immediately made up her mind.
"Mother, why don't we send Brother Dong to Sun Tongsheng, and when spring starts next year, we will send Brother Dong to the school in the town." Liususu Road.
"Okay, I'll go to Sun Tongsheng tomorrow and ask." Xu Shi Dao.
