Within a few days, Mrs. Lu really asked Jiluo to invite Lu Zhong to come over, and after the little person finished speaking, she let Lu Zhong go to the big room alone, but her little messenger in the big room stayed in the second room and followed Lu Xiaoyi's buttocks.

Lu Xiaoyi laughed at her: "Did you invite someone like this?" He didn't take it, but let people go on their own. ”

Ji Luo Zhenzhen said, "My family doesn't need to be polite, it's not good to be too polite." After speaking, he unceremoniously took a washed tender cucumber and ate it.

Lu Xiaoyi said: "My great-grandmother asked my father to come over to help give it away?" ”

"Well, grandfather and dad have packed up and will leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Xiaoyi nodded and didn't ask again, took Jiluo to the house to find Xiaoding, and then guarded Yulan to do needlework. Ji Luo couldn't sit still for a while, and made a lame excuse, saying that she heard her great-grandmother calling her in a trance, and Lu Xiaoyi echoed: "I heard it too, it seems that I am still in a hurry, you should go back quickly!" ”

Ji Luo got off the kang with his farts upside down, put on his shoes and went out, walked to the door and turned back to Lu Xiaoyi and said: "Cousin, in fact, I didn't hear my great-grandmother shouting, I said a lie, hehe, you also tell a lie!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi pointed a needle at Ji Luo, pretending to grit his teeth, "You little villain, I'll help you, not only do you not appreciate it, but you also convict me, believe it or not, I sew up your little mouth?" ”

Ji Luo grinned and said, "Good cousin, I thank you!" He said to Yulan again: "Auntie, I'm going back, you pay attention to your body, I'll come to see you another day." ”

finally said to Xiao Ding: "Second cousin, let me tell you a secret, Xiao Geng is sleepy when he listens to class." I saw him out of the window several times, and he was a thief, and he covered his face with the book upright, but he still did not escape my grandfather's sharp eyes, and he was beaten several times. ”

"Don't say it's me who told you." After Ji Luo finished speaking, he ran away with a smile.

Xiao Ding smiled and asked Yulan, "Mother, did you hear that?" Xiao Geng was beaten several times. ”

Yulan couldn't cry or laugh, "This kid, I didn't delay his sleep at night." Why do you sleep so much during the day? ”

Lu Xiaoyi remembered the years when he was in elementary school. Not only is self-control poor and inattentive, but he often dozes off in class, and it is common for him to be punished for standing or being beaten by the teacher. She can understand the painful ambivalence of being hypnotized by the teacher but not being able to sleep. And. The teaching methods of the ancient private school teachers are not comparable to those of modern times. Imagine a group of playful and lively young people, it is already very painful to sit still in a proper manner, and they have to put a gray-haired and gray-haired old master in front of them. Shaking their heads and reciting words and phrases they don't understand, let them also shake their heads and follow along, most children can't withstand the attack of this hypnotic Dafa, and they have been tricked.

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Mother, Xiao Geng is still young, maybe he is not used to it, it would be good to wait for him to be older." ”

Yulan said: "I don't blame him, I just wonder if this kid has never mentioned this when he goes home, he used to be beaten at home, and his eyes can cry like peaches, but it's different when he enters the school, and he can hold it in case of trouble!" ”

Xiao Ding said: "I guess he didn't dare to say it, and he was beaten by his father again, wouldn't he have been beaten twice before and after, how cost-effective!" ”

Lu Zhong came into the house and asked with a smile: "Who was beaten twice?" ”

Magnolia smiled: "Who else?" Your son! I dozed off in class and was beaten by my husband. ”

Lu Zhong laughed, "Good fight!" ”

A good sentence aroused Xiao Yi's sad tears, her parents also told the teacher like this in her previous life, in that era when corporal punishment was still very popular, if you want not to be beaten by the teacher, you have to listen to the teacher's words, now I feel sad when I think about it, Lu Xiaoyi can't help but feel sorry for Xiao Geng.

Yulan said: "What is the reason why grandmother called you to go?" ”

"It's not a big deal, my uncle and cousin are going into the city tomorrow, and my grandmother asked me to drive them."

Yulan asked, "I heard that Xiao Yi said that sister-in-law and Jia Wei are also going to enter the city together?" ”

"Well, my sister-in-law is going back to her parents' house and sending it over."

Yulan sighed and asked again, "Didn't you say how many days to stay?" Grandmother didn't arrange for you to pick it up? ”

Lu Zhong said seriously: "Grandmother didn't mention it, I didn't ask, it's inconvenient to ask, and it's inconvenient to pick it up, if there is a cousin here, it doesn't matter, my cousin rushed to take the exam, and it was really inconvenient for me to go to my cousin's mother's house to pick up people." ”

Magnolia smiled: "Don't worry, grandmother thinks more than you think, she won't mention it." ”

Lu Zhong glanced at her and said with a smile: "Do you know that you still ask?" ”

Yulan smiled and said nothing, Lu Zhong said again: "I'm going to give birth in two months, do less needlework, let Xiaoyi Xiaoding do the housework, you should be careful not to work too hard." Lu Zhong was still embarrassed to say these words of concern in front of his daughter, and got up and said, "I'll go to the field to see the crops." ”

Yulan hurriedly said: "It's almost time to eat, what are you going out to see?" ”

"I don't go far, I go around." Lu Zhong went out by himself, and Yulan muttered, "Really, you can't sit with you for a while." ”

Lu Xiaoyi snickered, it's not that my father doesn't sit with you, but I just said something caring, and I was a little embarrassed.

At noon, Xiao Geng came back, put down the small schoolbag and came to the stove room to find food and drink, see cucumbers eat cucumbers, see scones eat scones, as long as it is food that is in the eyes, he has to break off a piece and stuff it in his mouth, looking very hungry.

Lu Xiaoyi asked with a smile: "Xiao Geng, did you go to study or go to coolies, why are you hungry like this?" ”

"Eldest sister, you don't know how hard it takes to read, uncle, grandfather, oh no, Mr. will have to memorize it if it is read a few times, and if you can't memorize it, you will be beaten, you see that my palms are red!" Xiao Geng spread out the red palm and showed it to Lu Xiaoyi.

Lu Xiaoyi pinched his little chubby paws, and said deliberately: "It's really hard to memorize the book?" Didn't you doze off and be caught and beaten by your husband? ”

Xiao Geng's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Xiao Yi for no more than five seconds, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Lu Xiaoyi rubbed his little bun, "It's okay, it's only temporary if you can't memorize the book, you can memorize it sooner or later after reading it a few more times, and it's normal to doze off, I don't believe that you are the only one dozing off in the entire book room." ”

Xiao Geng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, how do you know that I am not the only one dozing off?" Did you come to the book store to take a peek? ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, "Yes, I often come to the bookstore to peek, and every time I see you dozing off." ”

Xiao Geng blushed and said ashamedly: "I don't want to doze off either, but the eyelids always have to fall down, and they can't hold them open, and the dog uses willow branches to prop up the eyelids, but it still doesn't work!" The fat baby slept so much that his saliva was dripping on the table, and Mr. beat him the most. ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled: "What are you at the same table, going to sleep together, is it very good to sleep together?" ”

Xiao Ding proposed: "Xiao Geng, can you put a big rooster in your schoolbag?" As soon as the rooster crows, you wake up. ”

Xiao Geng shook his head seriously, "No, no, second sister, you can't take a rooster, a while ago, the dog took his puppy to the bookstore, and was punished by Mr., and the puppy was confiscated, and once a cat came running, squatting on the windowsill and motionless, Mr. also said that we are not as serious as cats." ”

Yulan didn't speak, she wanted to laugh but felt angry, and finally suppressed her smile and reprimanded: "Mr. is right, Mr. is also playing well, you say, my mother took the silver money to send you to study, but you went to sleep, are you worthy of the hard-earned money?" ”

Xiao Geng lowered his head and said, "Mother, I was wrong." ”

"In ancient times, those scholars, in order not to fall asleep, hung their hair on the beam, and stabbed their thighs with an awl, all in order to study hard, you are good, lying on the desk and sleeping with a long stream of saliva, what is the point of you saying that you read like this, come back as soon as possible to help your father farm, and our family can save some money."

"Mother, it's the fat baby who is drooling, it's not me, I'm just like a chicken pecking rice." Speaking of which, Xiao Geng learned what he looked like when he was sleepy.

Yulan was obviously talking about a very serious question, but Xiao Geng talked to her about some funny things, Yulan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, no matter what it looks like when you doze off, you will use dim sum for reading in the future, it is not easy for your father and mother to make money, you have to know how to cherish it." ”

Xiao Geng nodded, his face was ashamed, and when he went to the book house in the afternoon, he secretly took an embroidery needle, and he didn't know if he used it.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhong sent the four of them to the city, first sent his cousin and sister-in-law back to her parents' house, and then transferred his uncle and cousin to the pre-arranged location, and helped move a few boxes of books down, and only returned to Xiaxi Village after they met with several other old students.

Lu Xiaoyi made an appointment with the magpie to go to the stream to do laundry, leaving Xiaoding to take care of Yulan at home.

In April, the stream water was crystal clear, the smooth stones polished by the current lay quietly at the bottom of the water, and from time to time there were bold fish swimming to the vicinity of the laundry table, Lu Xiaoyi took the wooden basin to pocket, always a few beats slower, angrily threw the wooden basin on the laundry table, and complained: "This fish is too thief!" You can't catch a fish for the yellow ball. ”

The magpie slapped a coarse linen coat with a hammer and laughed at her: "It's not that the fish is too thief, it's that you are too stupid." ”

Lu Xiaoyi picked up a string of water droplets and bounced towards the magpie, "Why am I stupid?" ”

The magpie snorted at the wooden basin, "It's so heavy, you have to work hard to hold it, and it's even more difficult to carry the fish!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi patted his head and woke up, "Ouch, I'm really smart but I was mistaken by being smart!" ”

The magpie laughed at her: "Smart man, next time change the bamboo basket!" ”

At the mention of the bamboo basket, Lu Xiaoyi laughed evilly, asked the magpie to wait, she ran to the place where the surplus grain often put the fish basket, lifted up along the hemp rope tied to the foot of the tree, lifted a round bamboo basket drenched with water, pulled out the funnel-like lid, took out a small crucian carp from it, and stuffed the lid tightly and put the fish basket back into the water.

The magpie looked at Xiao Yi in surprise, and after a while, he came back with a small crucian carp, "Where did you catch it?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi deliberately hung the magpie's appetite, didn't reply to her, hummed a small tune, leisurely put the little crucian carp into the wooden basin, added some stream water, watched it swing its tail and flashing fins and swim happily, laughed and said: "Magpie, I said that this fish fell from the sky, do you believe it?" ”

"Believe you, big-headed ghost! Say it! ”

"Na, in fact, I touched this fish from Brother Liang's fish basket, hehe, you have to keep it a secret for me!"

The magpie said with disdain: "Lu Xiaoyi, don't say I know you!" (To be continued.) )
