Jiang Shi heard Lian Man'er ask her, and hurriedly raised his head.

"This is the paper that your step-grandfather wrote without use." Jiang replied with a smile, "I don't know what's going on today, firewood is not easy to burn, just use this to start a fire, it's quite useful." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry to start the fire, can you show me?" Lian Man'er hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand to Jiang.

Jiang hesitated for a moment, then handed the roll of paper in his hand to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er hurriedly took it and flipped it in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable. This is not a piece of writing written by Lian Jizu at all, it is clearly a bound book, and the few blackened characters on the cover are "Zhu Zizhi's Maxims".

Lian Man'er's family is now in much better condition than before, and is slowly buying books. Whether it is Wulang and Xiao Qi who are reading in Chapter 385 at home, or Zhang, who has just learned a few words with Xiao Qi, they all cherish books very much.

And not long ago, Lian Man'er and her four children had to learn to read and write, and they still shared a book. Later, if Gorou wanted to read more books, he had to borrow from Wang Youheng to read.

But here, Jiang Shi burned a good book as firewood. Listening to the meaning of what Jiang said just now, it seems that this is not the first time he has done this.

"Man'er, what's the ......" Jiang is a smart person, very good at observing words and feelings, she saw Lian Man'er's face change, her mind turned around, and she was more careful when she spoke. This is not the paper that your step-grandfather wrote? I can't read a single big word, is it a mistake? ”

While he was talking, Lian Jizu opened the curtain and poked his head out. He also holds two books in his hand. When he saw that Lian Man'er was there, he didn't care, and still threw the book in his hand to Jiang.

“…… It's useless, just burn the fire. ”

"Step-brother. You're burning books. Lian Man'er's eyes were sharp, and she could already see clearly that the two books that Lian Jizu threw down were also bound volumes.

Even step-ancestors should not take it seriously. But when Lian Man'er asked on his face, he was also a little uncomfortable.

Jiang's face suddenly had some sneers in Chapter 385.

Lian Man'er's heart immediately brightened. Even the things that Jizu asked Jiang to burn must have been written by him, but there are also scrolls. Jiang was illiterate, but she knew it. It's just that because I can't read, I don't know which roll of paper is character paper and which roll is a book.

"It's ...... Books that don't need it. Lian Jizu argued.

Since it's a book that you don't need. Why did you buy it in the first place?

Lian Man'er thought so in her heart, but she didn't ask.

"Brother step-ancestor, you don't need these books, but it's a pity to use them to light the fire, you can't give them to me. I have straw paper in my house. That ignition is better to use. Lian Man'er said with a smile.

"It's all useless books, what do you want them for?" Even the step-ancestors said. Thinking about it, he also knew in his heart that it was wrong to burn books, especially when there were two cousins who went to school in a private school and were very short of books to read.

"You don't need such a book for scientific research, even if you show it to Gorou and Xiaoqi, it's a pure waste of time." Even the step-ancestor explained.

"If you don't need it for scientific research, it will definitely not hurt. Otherwise, what did my stepbrother buy it back for? "Lian Man'er said." Give it to me, even if my brother and Xiaoqi don't read this book, it's not bad to give me and my mother. ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly picked up the two books that Lian Jizu threw on the ground, puffed the dust on them, and handed them to Lian Man'er with a smile.

"Here you go, Man'er." Jiang said with a smile. "I can't read, and looking at these things is a black eye."

Even Man'er was not polite, so he grabbed the three books in his hand.

"Brother step-grandfather, sister-in-law, do you have any useless books? Give it all to me, even if you don't look at it, I'll put it up, it's ...... Good. Lian Man'er said.

Even step-ancestors are indispensable, but the Jiang family is a little weak-hearted. Even if it is a book that is not used for scientific research, as Lian Man'er said, since it is not needed, what did you buy it in the first place. A good book, make firewood and burn, if even Man'er is true and questions her, she can only listen. And if Lian Man'er makes a noise, so that the old man Lian in the opposite room hears it, even the step-ancestor and her will have to be reprimanded, and even Shouren will have to eat and hang.

These books, anyway, even the step-ancestors don't want them, instead of lighting the fire, it is better to give Lian Man'er a personal favor.

Speaking of which, the Jiang family is willing to associate with Lian Man'er's family in his heart. Although it is a farmer's family, his speech and demeanor are not vulgar at all. Usually when he talks and does things, he is also gentle and polite, and he is used to leaving a glimmer of leeway. is the most scheming Lian Man'er, as long as you don't provoke her face, you can get along very gently, stop talking and doing things, and save face for the other party.

Jiang and Lian Jizu exchanged a look, and then let Lian Man'er go to the west house.

“…… There are many people in our house, and there is more luggage, and it has been reduced several times, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bring things. The word paper is a thing that takes up space and is heavy, so I can only pick up useful belts, and I have to throw it away if it has nothing to do with the exam. Man'er, you pick it yourself, which one is rare, you can take whichever one. ”

Lian Man'er smiled and followed Jiang into the West House.

Even Shouren and Gu Shi were not there, only Lian Duoer was teasing Niu Niu on the kang.

On the floor of the West House, there are more than a dozen cabinets placed in a mess, and on the ground outside the cabinets, there are some miscellaneous things scattered on the ground, and against the corner of the wall is a rattan box about three feet square, the lid of the box is open, and there are some scrolls and writing paper stacked in it, and there are books and writing paper scattered on the ground with footprints.

"All of these?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Most of them are written by your step-grandfather." Jiang said.

"If you want to take it, I'll give it to you." Even step-ancestors are very generous.

Lian Man'er glanced at Lian Jizu, Zhang's once said that Lian Jizu was raised, and Jiang said that Lian Jizu didn't care. In Lian Man'er's opinion, whether Lian Jizu is good or bad, she is sure of one thing, Lian Jizu is actually a man who has no scheming and is easy to get along with.

"Okay, then I'll do it." Lian Man'er said.

Lian Man'er walked over and looked around the rattan box. It's the first time Lian Man'er has seen such a rattan box, obviously a bookcase specially for books.

This rattan box is exquisitely crafted and vaguely patterned. He looked a little older, but he was still very strong, and the rattan had a jet-black sheen.

Even Shouren's family, even Shouyi's family, none of them were willing to stay. He wants to watch over Lian Shouren, but he can't stay, and the things at home have to be handed over to Lian Shouxin and Lian Shouli to take care of, and they don't want to.

None of them will be heard. Even the old man turned his face and wept.

Unlike Zhou's crying, even the old man's crying was silent, but tears left from the corners of his eyes along the slightly sunken cheeks and slid down his beard.

Zhou would cry at every turn, and while crying, he would scold at the same time. But in the memory of Lian Shouli and Lian Shouxin, no matter how difficult things were, even the old man never cried.

It's really a good thing, not to mention Qingyang Town, it's Jinyang County, and such rattan boxes are very rare.

However, Lian Man'er was more interested in the books in the rattan box.

But Lian Jizu still noticed Lian Man'er's gaze at the rattan box.

"Ah, that, this box...... I'm still useful. "Lian Jizu said. Some of his classmates had seen this rattan box, and they all said it was a good thing, and some wanted to buy it from him. Even his step-ancestor didn't sell it, and he knew that this rattan box was brought out, which showed his identity as a scholar.

"Okay, then I'll call my brother to help me carry the books." Lian Man'er said, she can't hold these books alone.

Lian Man'er took the three books in her hand, quickly returned to the West Wing, and told Wulang and Xiaoqi about the matter.

Gorou and Xiao Qi naturally have nothing else to say.

"I can't move much once by hand, so we have to do something." Lian Man'er said.

Looking around, it seems that there is nothing to do with the guy who can carry books.

Gorou also looked around, then walked to the corner and took a dustpan. Lian Man'er smiled when she saw it.

"Not bad."

There is only one dustpan at home, and Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi carry a dung basket by themselves.

As soon as the three children entered the outhouse of the upper room, they heard the voice of Lian Duoer from the west room.

“…… What to do for her, it's useless for us, throw the pigsty, light the fire, and don't give it to her. ”

The three children exchanged glances, quickened their pace, and pushed the door into the Westinghouse.

Lian Duoer had already come down from the kang and was standing next to the rattan box. She stomped the scroll under her feet hard, and grabbed a book in her hand that was tearing hard.

Jiang persuaded Lian Duoer while blocking Lian Duoer from tearing up the book with his hands.

"Duo'er, what are you messing around, what should you do?" Lian Jizu sat on the edge of the kang and reprimanded Lian Duoer.

Lian Duo'er saw Lian Man'er come in, and for a moment's time, Jiang Shi had already snatched the book in her hand and pulled her aside.

“…… This is leaving, reluctant to go home, Duo'er is a little awkward. Jiang Shi hurriedly smiled and added.

"Who is reluctant, I can't wait to leave this ...... immediately," Lian Duoer said angrily.

Jiang Shi hurriedly glanced at Lian Duo'er, and Lian Duo'er gradually quieted down, although she no longer spoke, but her eyes looked at Lian Man'er, and there was no kindness at all.

Lian Man'er pouted secretly, she didn't bother with Lian Duo'er, she only walked to the rattan box with Wulang and Xiaoqi, and carefully checked the books and writing paper inside.

There is really a piece of paper written by Lian Jizu in the rattan box, which Lian Man'er naturally doesn't want, and she wants the rest, all bound books.

“…… Pick up the rags we don't want......" Lian Duoer leaned on the edge of the kang and pointed to her face with her fingers, embarrassed.

The three children, back and forth twice, moved the books back to the West Wing. Lian Man'er thought about it, then loaded another piece of straw paper cut from a dung basket and went to the upper room to give it to Jiang.

"What is this for, this can't be wanted." Jiang said with a smile.

"Yes, why not. Something can't be given to her in vain. Lian Duoer said. These straw papers, not to mention the fire, are excellent for use in thatched houses.

Lian Man'er smiled at Jiang and turned her head to look at Lian Duo'er.

"Don't take your things for nothing, those rags, exchange them for these straw paper, I'll let you earn it, you're happy...... Send one watch first, and there will be two changes in the evening, ask for pink encouragement. (To be continued)RQ!!
