Next, Yu Lan discussed with Lu Zhong after a short period of study, and felt that he could not be less than other villagers, so Lu Zhong personally went to the city to buy five catties of meat, a jar of wine, two boxes of tea and a bag of frosting to send to him.

Mrs. Lu kindly talked to Lu Zhong and accepted it.

Lu Zhong returned home and said to Yulan: "Grandmother said, it's not that she wants to collect our family's things, but to show other people in the village, you also know that our village has a lot of mouthfuls, and whoever has more and who has less has to talk about it for a few days, and grandmother will take our family as a benchmark, and if her family can do it to this extent, other villagers will not complain." ”

Yulan said: "Grandmother has worked hard, we should be considerate of our juniors, not to mention that the saint had to use ten salted pork as a bundle of cultivation, and we should also send a worship ceremony." ”

Lu Xiaoyi was comparing a few pieces of coarse cloth on the side, thinking about how to make a schoolbag for Xiao Geng, attracted by the conversation between Lu Zhong and Yulan, and silently thinking about the meaning of Mrs. Lu's move, I have to say that Mrs. Lu is a shrewd person, and she must have taken advantage of this short school a year ago to get close to the villagers' favors. When the villagers find out how much Lu Zhong sent, the two will definitely accept Mrs. Lu's affection.

In any case, Mrs. Lu is also working hard for the good of the big house, and it is still respectable for an old man in his twilight to be able to do this.

The day before Xiao Geng's enrollment, the surplus grain came.

Lu Xiaoyi chopped pigweed in the backyard to feed the pigs, and after cleaning up, he came to the front yard and saw Yu Liang talking to Lu Zhong and Yulan in the hall.

Autumn is a good time to hunt with a lot of prey. The surplus grain was busy hunting throughout the autumn, and there was not much time to meet Lu Xiaoyi, and now autumn is going to winter. He's still busy, much more diligent than before. Lu Xiaoyi secretly went to the small courtyard of the Yu family several times, but General Tie guarded the door, but the raccoon cat stopped on the wall to bask in the sun, and it was inevitable that he felt a little lost.

At this time, seeing that the person who was thinking about him was sitting in his own hall, Lu Xiaoyi was in a good mood, and rushed forward and shouted, "Brother Liang, when did you come?" Perhaps he was too enthusiastic and excited, Yu Liang's face suddenly turned red, and he forgot what he was going to say.

Yulan scolded with a smile: "What are you doing? Look at the grain, scared. ”

Yu Liang touched his nose. Said to Yulan: "Auntie." Xiao Yi didn't scare me. "Meaning you don't blame her.

Where would Yulan not understand his subtext, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Auntie blames her." ”

Surplus food may feel that it is too obvious. His cheeks were red again. Lu Xiaoyi couldn't bear to look at him embarrassed. Seeing that there was a book on the table, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Where did the book come from?" ”

"The grain was given, saying that he bought it when he was studying before, and when he heard that Xiao Geng was going to school, he brought all the books that he could use. Such a precious thing, the grain really has a heart. "Yulan has always been very satisfied with the surplus grain, and usually comes when she needs help, not to mention the farming, she takes the initiative to come. This time I sent Jin Gui's book to Xiao Geng, Yulan was very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, and then looked at her own Xiaoyi, only to feel that she had many shortcomings and few advantages, Yulan secretly made up her mind that she would discipline Xiaoyi strictly after the year, let her go out to hang out less, learn academic chores and needlework at home, and grind her lazy temperament.

If Lu Xiaoyi knew that her mother was going to increase her efforts to discipline and ponder her, she would probably have a headache!

Yu Liang said: "They are all suitable for Xiao Geng's Mengyang textbooks, Mr. will teach "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Family Poems", "Thousand Character Texts" and "Tong Meng Instructions", I have ready-made ones here, Xiao Geng does not need to buy them, as for the four books and five classics and "Ancient Literature and Views" in the future, I am not complete, and I need to buy them again in the future. ”

Lu Zhong said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, he can learn the first few books thoroughly, and he can be regarded as having some knowledge, and the later sage books will depend on his own creation, if he can read it, I will smash the pot, sell iron, sell the house, and sell the tile for him to study." ”

Xiao Geng's eyes widened and exclaimed, "How can you cook if the pot is smashed?" Where do you live after the house is sold? Dad, I don't read saints anymore! ”

Lu Zhong said: "Come here!" Xiao Geng ran to Lu Zhong with a fart, Lu Zhong smiled and patted his little head, "I just want to eat and live, why don't I want to take the top exam and come back to glorify my ancestors!" ”

Xiao Geng said proudly: "My mother said, I am the champion of mud legs!" ”

"Mud-legged champion?"

"Well, it's the top farmer!" Xiao Geng said with a serious face.

Lu Zhong smiled and patted him on the head again, "What kind of books are you still reading!" Don't waste my money, come down with me tomorrow!" ”

Xiao Geng didn't do it, pointed to a few books on the table and said: "I'm still too young to go to the ground, after I finish reading those books, I'll go to the ground with my father when I'm older." "After that, I'm going to grab those books.

Yulan clapped his hands and said, "Books are precious things, how can you do it if you are so reckless and don't cherish it!" After speaking, he carefully took a few books and put them away, and couldn't help boasting: "Liangzi is really a good boy who cares about it, look at how well this book is cherished, and there is not even a corner of the book, it looks like a new book." ”

Yu Liang was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said modestly: "At that time, the gentleman of the school was strict in discipline, and he would severely punish students who did not cherish books and pen and ink. ”

Xiao Yi glanced at it, saw which book was really clean as new, and proposed: "It's a good habit to cherish books, don't worry about these books, I'll help you supervise them, if Xiao Geng doesn't cherish them, I'll clean him up!" ”

Yulan smiled: "Yes, yes, you must let Xiao Geng develop this good habit!" ”

After the surplus grain was delivered, he got up to say goodbye, and Yulan left him to eat, but he politely refused, saying that he was going to go to the mountains and catch more mountain goods to sell before the snow. For such a hard-working and hard-working young man, Yulan and Lu Zhong liked it more and more, and only sent him out of the hospital after telling him.

On the day of Xiao Geng's enrollment, Xiao Yi Xiaoding personally sent him to school after breakfast, and there was no need to send it at all, but Xiao Yi Xiaoding just wanted to follow to see the excitement.

Xiao Geng walked in front with a backpack on his back, and Xiao Yi Xiaoding watched from behind, not looking at Xiao Geng, but looking at the small schoolbag he was carrying, which was so cute.

This little bag is a family ode! Lu Xiaoyi's needlework is average, but Yulan is good at it, and the mother and daughter finally made a small schoolbag after discussing the amount, with two mezzanines inside, one for books and paper, one for inkstones and ink ingots, and the middle compartment and the bottom of the schoolbag are sewn with oiled paper, and the outermost big button of the schoolbag is Lu Zhong grinding a small piece of wood into the shape of a horn buckle according to Xiaoyi's meaning. Lu Xiaoyi also used a few pieces of rags to put together a little yellow duck on the schoolbag, and the careful Xiaoding personally sewed the duck body, duck beak and duck eyes on the schoolbag.

So, Xiao Geng went to school with the only small backpack made by the family working together!

Soon met with a few young men in the village, some carrying a small book basket, some small wooden bookcases, some straddled a small cloth bag, and some wrapped a coarse cloth in their arms.

Xiao Geng deliberately walked in front and let the other teenagers look at the small schoolbag behind him, and the result was obvious, the teenagers all rushed forward, chattering and asking, and reaching out to touch it, Xiao Geng ran forward while shouting "Don't get dirty", and the other teenagers chased after him.

When he arrived at the Lu family's big house, Lu Xiaoyi counted several heads, and there were as many as thirty-two! The younger ones are about six years old like Xiao Geng, and there are about nine years old like Shen Qiang, and there are even those who are on par with Bingyu.

Oh my! I have never found so many little teenagers in the village, shouting like a litter of chicks, and their heads are going to be dizzy.

Presumably, most of the families in the village have sent their school-age children. Short course! Shu Xiu is not much, send it to study for two months, and when it grows up next year, maybe there will not be so many children.

There are also many little girls in the village who come to send their brothers and sisters to school, Lu Xiaoyi greeted them one by one, and then leaned on the door frame to look in, and some little girls stepped on their feet to look in from the window. Lu Xiaoyi looked around, only to feel that the little girl's thirst for knowledge is no less than that of a little boy, but it is a pity that women in this era are virtuous if they have no talent, except for those girls from scholarly families who will be taught to know a few words, little peasant girls like them only have the share of housework.

If there are brothers in the family who are going to school, maybe they can still teach them to read a few words! Although Lu Xiaoyi is not illiterate in modern times, but in this other world, most of the cumbersome and complex characters are still unknown, which is equivalent to being illiterate, so she secretly made up her mind that when Xiao Geng came back from school, she and Xiao Ding also learned to recognize words.

The magpie also came to send off the joy pillar, and when he saw that Lu Xiaoyi was also there, he happily came over, the little sisters hadn't seen each other for several days, and they were very affectionate at this time, and they looked into the book house shoulder to shoulder.

The little boys in the village came one after another, and Lu Bingyu and Lu Wufeng helped arrange the seats, and arranged the little boys to sit down according to the high and low order.

Xiao Geng was at the same table with Goudaner and Fat Wazi, Liu Baoshenqiang was at the same table with Ergouzi, Lu Xiaoyi had a black line on his face, and found that the little teenagers were all nicknamed nicknames, and they didn't know what the big names were, and they didn't know if their parents had given their children good names.

Lu Fuzeng's Lili Suo appeared at the door of the study, still holding a two-finger-wide bamboo board in his hand, his straight-ended beard trembling slightly in the cold wind, and his face was extremely serious.

The little girls who were watching at the door all stepped back timidly, Xiao Yi Xiaoding politely saluted Lu Fuzeng, and the other little girls also learned from Sister Xiao Yi to salute Lu Fuzeng. Lu Fuzeng is a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, and finally showed a smile on his serious face, waved to the little girls, Wen Yan asked her to disperse, and then walked into the study room slowly with a straight face and a straight back.

Lu Xiaoyi wanted to watch it for a while, but the old scholar didn't let them, so they had to leave together.

The little girls talked and laughed, and every time they reached a fork in the road, they divided a few people, and in the end only Xiaoyi Xiaoding and the magpie remained. It wasn't that they were on the way, but that Xiao Yi Xiaoding took a detour to send the magpie back and return to his home in order to talk to the magpie for a while. (To be continued.) )
