Nie Shuyao came to his pharmacy first, handed over the dried medicinal materials in his hand to Shopkeeper Wu, and drank a cup of herbal tea when he saw it.
"Hey, Miss Dongjia, you can't drink cold on this day." When the shopkeeper Wu saw it, he snatched the tea and hurriedly instructed the little apprentice to prepare hot tea.
Shopkeeper Wu is nearly fifty years old, looks very good, has a goatee, is kind and has some medical skills. The family lives in the town, and his children have all started a family, so he regards this store as a lifelong career.
Nie Shuyao's family didn't treat him as an outsider, and she knew that Shopkeeper Wu was here as a shopkeeper since she could remember. In fact, she drank herbal tea just to get rid of the fire in her heart, and Liu San really made Shu Yao so disgusted.
"Uncle Wu, it's okay, I'm just in a hurry and I'm a little angry in my heart, and I just went to the fire with a cup of herbal tea." She pursed her lips and smiled.
Shopkeeper Wu said earnestly: "That's not good, you can't notice it when you're young, and you'll regret it when you're old." Come, warm up with a cup of hot tea. ”
He took the teapot handed over by his apprentice, poured a cup, and put it in front of Nie Shuyao.
Nie Shuyao couldn't resist him, so he had to drink the tea, and when he was drinking tea, he saw Liu San looking over not far from the store through the door of the store.
She snorted coldly in her heart, this Liu San is a master who eats soft and fears hard, and the real evil is not daring to do. Knowing that this pharmacy was theirs, they didn't dare to come in to make trouble, and their stepmother gave the impression that she had a very hard backer behind her, so none of their two shops didn't open their eyes to make trouble.
Then Liu San can only think about himself outside, I'm afraid that he is a little girl and doesn't dare to tell adults. Isn't that the case, how dare those little girls who were bullied tell adults, I'm afraid that if they do, they will be beaten first.
Nie Shuyao felt that she had to be angry for these little girls.
After staying for a while, he said to the shopkeeper Wu, put the pot of hot tea in the basket, and went directly to Nie Tianxi's private school from the back door of the pharmacy.
There are two private schools in the town, which are divided into large and small private schools, which are collectively referred to as the town's small colleges, while the prefectural colleges are called large schools. Children over the age of 10 can enter the big private school to study, and after entering the big private school, they can also participate in the children's examination, and only after the county-run children's examination can they take the Xiucai examination next year.
However, there is a rule that makes Nie Shuyao speechless, women are not allowed to enter private schools. Whether they came to visit or deliver things, women were kept out and were not allowed to enter without communication.
Nie Shuyao gave the porter a few copper plates and asked him to go in and call someone.
The porter's legs and feet were much faster when he got the copper plate, and it didn't take long for Nie Tianxi, who was trotting, to go out of the door.
There is an old pear tree at the entrance of the big private school, the size of a bucket, and it is still a pear blossom.
Nie Shuyao sat on the stone bench under the pear tree and waited patiently, and when she saw her younger brother running out, she hurriedly waved to him.
When Nie Tianxi ran over, she had already laid a veil on the stone bench, and he didn't sit down politely, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, why are you here?" We'll have a lunch break in half an hour. ”
Nie Shuyao smiled: "My stepmother asked me to tell you the story." Well, this is your lunch, and I'll let me bring you food every day until the children's exam, so you have to fight for your sister. ”
She handed him the basket and rubbed his bag vigorously.
Nie Tianxi shook left and right to break free from her clutches, and said seriously: "Sister, you and your stepmother can rest assured." I'm sure I'll be able to pass this year's children's exam. ”
He grabbed the food inside and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate: "I'm also hungry, eat early, and go back to review early." ”
"Okay, you eat slowly, there is also hot tea prepared for you by Shopkeeper Wu." Nie Shuyao took the bamboo basket and put it on the stone bench, and first took out the teapot inside and poured the tea.
"Hehe, thank you, shopkeeper Wu." Nie Tianxi slurred.
"You eat first, and I'll tell you the story of my stepmother."
"Uh-huh!"
Nie Shuyao said softly: "It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a big snowfall on this day, and there was a farmer ....... ”
The big private school is at the end of an ancient alley, and there are few people here.
The two sisters and brothers sat on the stone bench under the old pear tree, one was talking, the other was listening, and from time to time there were white pear blossoms falling, this picture was really beautiful.
It didn't take long for the story to be finished, and a few "snowflakes" fell on their heads, and the siblings picked up each other. From time to time, a few heart-warming laughs appeared.
"Sister, I understand what my stepmother means. Xi'er is not a stupid farmer, and she won't pick up something as dangerous as a snake. ”
Nie Shuyao's eyebrows bent, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was deeply imprinted, and said: "In fact, people are more dangerous than snakes, this story tells us, don't let go of those who deserve their sins because of temporary pity." Didn't Confucius also say that if you repay your grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? We are to repay our grievances with a straight voice, and sin is sin. Although the law is nothing more than human affection, sinners should be punished. ”
Nie Tianxi nodded heavily, "Xi'er understands." Sometimes being emotional can only be bad! ”
"Hmm!" Nie Shuyao helped him straighten his hair, "My family Xi'er is smart." Okay, now that the story is over, it's time for my sister to go back and go home early after school. ”
She put the finished dishes and chopsticks back in the bamboo basket, and instructed again and again. And put a small bag of snacks in a cloth bag on his body, afraid that he would be hungry before school.
Nie Tianxi is actually the most clingy to her, seeing that his sister is so good to him, he doesn't want her to let her go when he holds her hand.
"Xi'er, if you don't go back, Mr. will scold!" Nie Shuyao said with a straight face.
"Got it. Sister, you have to bring a hat when you go out of a girl's house, so that many people can see your sister's face. Nie Tianxi said suddenly.
Nie Shuyao was stunned for a moment, grabbed the broken hair in front of his forehead, and said, "Xi'er, did you take the wrong medicine?" Your sister is not everyone's daughter, and she doesn't have a maid to wear any hat when she goes out. That thing is troublesome, and you don't know that your sister is most afraid of trouble. Also, you see a couple of girls in town with that stuff. ”
Nie Tianxi said solemnly: "Sister, Xi'er will definitely be a big official in the future, and I will buy a lot of maids for my sister at that time." ”
"Hehe, okay, okay, my sister knows that Xi'er is amazing. Hurry up and go back to class, I have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be nice to run into that disgusting Liu San again. Nie Shuyao urged, in fact, she urged Tianxi to go back to the school quickly for this.
But Nie Tianxi blew up and shouted, "Liu San? He dares! When I get out of school, I'm going to have to find a way to break his other leg. ”
Nie Shuyao hurriedly covered his mouth, looked left and right, and was relieved to find that no one was passing by at this time.
She scolded in a low voice: "Xi'er be quiet, do you think your sister I don't want his other leg?" How does my stepmother usually tell us to come, to keep a low profile, you know? Don't worry, your sister is not so easily frightened by Liu San. Isn't that the time yet, and you, promise me to be a normal eleven-year-old, you know? ”
"Sister, I ......, I don't feel comfortable seeing my sister being bullied." He pouted.
Nie Shuyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you just talk about the farmer and the snake?" Don't you want to be that ignorant farmer? ”
"It's different!" Nie Tianxi retorted, with an angry expression on his face.
Nie Shuyao said: "In my opinion, they are all the same, the same recklessness. Have you ever seen your stepmother use force in front of outsiders? She taught us that kung fu is not used to beat people, but to defend ourselves. In the eyes of outsiders, we are helpless people, and this illusion must accompany us for the rest of our lives, only in this way can our safety be guaranteed. ”
Slowly, the anger on Nie Tianxi's face disappeared, nodded fiercely, and said, "Sister, go back early." He walked quickly to the school.
Nie Shuyao smiled reassuringly, and looked around again, the old man in the porter was far away, and he was napping on the table.
She put away the basket and decided to find a shortcut home.
