The young men were jumping and playing on the tables and chairs in the study room, Lu Fuzeng came out of nowhere, wearing a cyan straight dress, his hair was combed properly, and his beard was also combed smoothly, looking at the young man who was playing seriously, covering his mouth with his fists and pretending to cough.

The young man who was still noisy just now immediately silenced, standing in the distance and not daring to move, and the young man standing on the table also slid down silently.

Lu Fuzeng stroked his beard and said slowly: "The fool is forgivable, when the class officially opens, you must respect the teacher and study hard, and the offender will be punished with ten strokes in the palm of the hand as punishment!" With that, a two-finger-wide bamboo board slipped out of his sleeve.

The teenagers inhaled collectively, some trembled slightly, some closed their eyes and did not look, some cried and mourned, and some regretted it very much.

Xiao Geng stupidly stepped forward and asked: "Uncle Grandfather, I am your nephew, do you have to hit your palms if you make mistakes?" ”

Lu Fuzeng nodded solemnly: "It's right!" Then he pointed to Lu Bingyu and the two brothers on the side and said, "Your two cousins are inevitable!" ”

Xiao Geng finally recognized the reality and silently stood beside his cousin who was suffering from the same illness, fortunately, Xiao Geng did not show a timid look.

When the other young men heard that the grandchildren of the Lu family had made mistakes, they were not spared, and their inhales became deeper and deeper, and they all cried sadly when they thought of the hard days in the future.

Lu Xiaoyi couldn't help but smile when she saw that the young schoolboy was silly and cute, and it happened that Yulan was calling her, so she left the book house and went with Yulan.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Lu, all the women went to the hall to meet Mrs. Lu together.

At this time, Mrs. Lu had already put on a thick jacket and sat upright in the hall, and Ji Luo stood aside to help her hold the crutches. The little man was not as tall as a crutch, but he stood on the side without stage fright, looking curiously at the country women who came in one after another.

Lu Xiaoyi winked at Ji Luo, Ji Luo silently took a few steps back, avoided a position that Mrs. Lu couldn't see, and then exaggerated her mouth shape towards Xiao Yi Xiaoding, which was easy to recognize, and the grinning little mouth must be calling her cousin.

Mrs. Lu coughed, Ji Luo quickly shut up, and took a few steps forward to Mrs. Lu's side. Standing in a proper manner.

Several women saluted Mrs. Lu one by one. Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded to invite them to take a seat, and Mrs. Lu prepared tea and served it enthusiastically.

Mrs. Lu said: "The fool has been studying the sage books for many years, and he has not been able to gain fame when he is unlucky, and now he has returned to the village to open a private museum." Thanks to all the neighbors who did not give up. Willing to send the child. The old body is grateful! ”

Sister-in-law Liu said: "Old lady, your family is doing great things for Xiaxi Village!" Those of us who want to send our children to study for a few days have finally gotten our wish. I want to be at the beginning. My Bao'er is studying in the city school, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, and it is inconvenient to eat and live, thanks to the help of the Shen family, there is a foothold, who wants to bully people in the school, hey! Bullied my family Bao'er badly. ”

"My strong son fought with that group of bad boys a lot for your Bao'er, and he was bruised and purple, and he didn't even read books later." The daughter-in-law of the Shen family still complained a little when she talked about it, and her face was a little unhappy. Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly said some words of gratitude, and the Shen family's daughter-in-law's face improved.

Mrs. Lu said: "Where there are people, there is trouble, this is the case in the school, and the same is true in the village, this matter has passed, so don't worry too much." Now that our family has opened a private museum, you can rest assured to send your child over, although my son has no fame, but it is still okay to enlighten the ignorant boy. Maybe there are a few children with good qualifications and good luck in our village, and they will be admitted to the fame after a few years of studying, which is a great joy for the glory of the ancestors! ”

As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, several women became excited, obviously this kind of thing of relying on reading to walk the career of glory is a dream in everyone's heart, some people's dreams come true, some people's dreams are broken back to reality, and some people have been dreaming. Now, Mrs. Lu has lit the fire of hope in the hearts of the village women, and the women are eager for their children to immediately take the examination for fame and glory.

Yulan said with a smile: "It is a good thing to glorify the ancestors, and it also depends on whether our children have this life, in my opinion, the children can read some words, keep accounts, and write couplets in the future." ”

Lu Xiaoyi felt that Yulan was very pragmatic and would not expect those unrealistic things, but Mrs. Lu was not, she had always dreamed of glorifying her ancestors. Therefore, when Yulan's voice just fell, Lu Xiaoyi saw that Mrs. Lu glanced at Yulan quickly, and that glance was obviously disdainful.

Mrs. Lu said: "Everyone here has a mess of housework to do, and I won't delay you if I make a long story short." At the beginning of next month, that is, the day after tomorrow, the museum will be officially opened, and anyone over the age of six in the village who is willing to study can come, and the morning after tomorrow, the children can officially start classes after worshipping the saint and the gentleman. Thinking that there are two months to the end of the year, my son is the first time to open the teaching, these two months are considered short, and after the New Year, the first month of the fifteenth day will open again, then it will be a long school, until next winter month to disperse. This time, the short study bundle can be replaced with meat, eggs, rice and noodles, and next year, the long study bundle will need to pay half of the silver, and the remaining half can be replaced with meat, eggs, rice and noodles, etc., what do you think? ”

Lu Fu's income is only on the sixth floor of the city school, which is not high, and it can replace some of it with meat, eggs, rice, noodles, etc., and the women here are still willing.

Mrs. Lu said to the daughter-in-law of the Shen family again: "The boy of the Shen family is okay, right?" ”

The daughter-in-law of the Shen family said one by one: "The redness and swelling on the butt door have disappeared, the bruises on the waist have also dispersed, and the scratches on the arms and legs have also fallen off. He sighed again: "The wounds on his body are healed, but the child is frightened, and he is not as lively and active as before!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi said in his heart: Anyone who is held down by you and forcibly pulls out his pants to expose chrysanthemums will feel shameless. The wounds on the body are healed, but the wounds in the heart are not so easy to heal.

Mrs. Lu sighed: "The child may have been frightened, it would be good to recuperate for a while, hey!" I'm so sorry, so let's do it, this time the shackles of the short school will be exempted. ”

The daughter-in-law of the Shen family immediately smiled, "It's still the old lady who can do things, so thank you." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled: "You're welcome. Then he said to the other women: "I bother you to help me convey what I just said, and those in the village who are willing to go to school should come quickly." There's nothing else to do, and if you don't ask, go your separate ways. ”

Thereupon. The women said goodbye to Mrs. Lu one after another and dispersed one by one.

Ji Luo took the opportunity to sneak out, grabbed Xiaoyi Xiaoding and didn't let her go, and had to go to the backyard to see the autumn melons she planted.

Yulan smiled and nodded, and after a few words of advice, she left the courtyard of the big house with Sister-in-law Hua and the others.

The autumn melon of the hexadelium can only be described as malnutrition, planted in a corner of the backyard is lacking in sunlight, and the soil is also thin, the seedlings were helped by Xiaoding to chase the fertilizer with grass ash, and now it has grown into a big vine. Yellow and thin yellow wrapped around a thorn branch. A few small yellow flowers bloomed, and two small autumn melons were picked up.

The poor little autumn melon was shriveled and emaciated, with a thick head and a thin body, bent into a ball and hung on the melon vine. It doesn't look like a normal autumn melon at all.

Jiluo is already very satisfied. Excitedly: "Cousin." I've got two autumn melons, so I'll give you one! ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded happily, "Okay, okay." When I get home, I'll make autumn melon noodle soup. ”

Jiluo picked a slightly larger autumn melon and handed it over, Lu Xiaoyi happily took it, Xiaoding took the opportunity to tell Jiluo some tips for planting autumn melons, hoping that she would grow better melons and vegetables in the future.

Lu Xiaoyi asked: "Xiaoji, what are you busy with if you don't come to my house to play for a while?" ”

Ji Luo looked very helpless, "I want to come too, but my great-grandmother always arranges things for me, and I always can't leave." ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled, "What can your little person arrange for you?" It's impossible for you to clean up the house, do the laundry and cook! ”

Ji Luo pouted, "Grandmother and my mother do all the housework, I only need to follow my great-grandmother every day, she always asks me to learn from her." ”

Xiao Ding was curious: "What to learn?" ”

Ji Luo shrugged, "Let me learn to count money first, my great-grandmother took out all the money she saved and let me count it, there are so many coppers, I am very sleepy when I count them!" ”

Great-grandmother is cultivating Jiluo housekeeper to manage money, but it's too direct, just turn out the private nest and let Jiluo count, Jiluo has seen too much money, will he be indifferent to silver money in the future?

Xiao Ding asked again: "Do you count the money every day?" ”

Ji Luo said aggrievedly: "I counted for a few days until I didn't make a mistake, and then gave me a penny to go to the neighborhood to buy five kinds of melons and vegetables and five eggs." ”

Xiao Ding was surprised: "How can you buy so much for a penny?" You can't hear it wrong! ”

"That's what my great-grandmother said, she said there was no time limit, and she would tell her when she bought it."

"Did you buy it?"

Ji Luo shook her head, "Not yet!" How is it possible for a penny! I'm too embarrassed to tell my neighbors. ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled: "I have a way!" ”

Ji Luo's eyes lit up, "Cousin, do you really have a way?" Tell me about it, I'm dying of sorrow! ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "I guess, great-grandmother didn't really let you buy vegetables and eggs, but let you learn to get along with your neighbors, things that can't be bought for a penny, if you have desserts, be diligent, once the aunts and mothers-in-law in the neighborhoods like you, don't say five kinds of melons and vegetables and five eggs, you can ask for ten things, and you don't have to spend money!" ”

Xiao Ding also reacted, clapped his hands and said: "What the eldest sister said is right, Xiao Ji, great-grandmother said that there is no time limit, you should take your time and not be in a hurry, not only to have a good relationship with your neighbors, but also to treat other people in the village with courtesy, you know?" ”

Ji Luo nodded, "I made a note of it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "What else did your great-grandmother teach you?" ”

Ji Luo crossed his fingers and said one by one, "Take me to the crops for a walk, teach me to recognize the boundaries of the land, as well as the grade and price of the fields, and tell me about the tenants and rents, if I can't remember her, she will discipline me, and if I remember her, I will reward me." ”

"She also took me to the granary to recognize the grain, although the rent paid by the tenants in the autumn is not much, but there are some kinds of grain, my great-grandmother taught me to identify the quality of the grain, the milled wheat has to be sifted several times, how to use the leftover grain bran from the rice, how to mix the bud rice flour and the multigrain noodles to be delicious, my great-grandmother has to teach me, but unfortunately there are too many, I can't remember for a while, she let me stay in the granary, I climb on the grain to play and she doesn't care." Speaking of the last play, Jiluo smiled knowingly.

Ji Luo is only six years old, and she was taught by the old lady with her hands, now it is hard work, and when she slowly adapts, it will be good for her to grow up after all, Lu Xiaoyi still understands Mrs. Lu's approach, after all, she is old and has little time, and she is anxious to train her great-granddaughter, once she has a good one, someone will help her stand up! If Lu Xiaoyi's guess is correct, Bingyu must have started a family early, and I don't know what kind of marriage Mrs. Lu wants to set for him and what kind of daughter-in-law she will marry, I hope Mrs. Lu will not be clumsy this time.
