"Xiuxiu, we're back." Because he was worried about Xiuxiu, He walked very fast, and even the big family behind him was in a hurry, and even Yang Liu took the stick and followed quickly. In order to keep Xiuxiu from being afraid, when he was still more than ten meters away from the yard, Li Cong shouted at the top of his voice.

The answer was the light that poured out of the house, and the non-stop barking of the dog after being startled by Li Cong's loud voice.

"Mother, brother, sister-in-law, you are back." Xiuxiu opened the courtyard door and called happily. The taste of staying at home alone at night is too difficult, since Yang Liu left, her heart has been hanging, and now her heart is finally implemented.

"Haha, are you afraid?" Li Cong laughed and teased: "Do you have a crying nose?" ”

Xiuxiu hugged He's arm and snorted softly: "No, you underestimate me too much, fifth brother, you really stink to death." ”

"Stinky girl, you dare to dislike your brother." Li Cong tapped Xiuxiu's head.

"My brother is not like my brother, my sister is not like my sister, I don't cook yet, and I'm hungry." It was He who opened his mouth to stop the fight, and then the family walked into the courtyard and went their separate ways.

Take a wooden basin to change clothes, men and women wash separately, because there is a lot of water in the willow during the day, in addition to enough for men to shower, but also enough for children to wash. The sound of melons hitting wooden barrels, the laughter of children, and the scolding of women suddenly made the whole yard lively.

Xiuxiu had already rekindled the fire, and Yang Liu washed his hands and began to cut the dough, cutting the dough into noodles the thickness of his little thumb, and Yang Liu shook it into the boiling water and stirred it with chopsticks. Cover the pot with a lid.

The beans picked in the afternoon also came in handy, and the willow was boiled. Mix it cold and make it a dish.

The pasta was cooked quickly, but the Li family was not slow to take a bath. Yang Liu served a bowl of noodles, and the table was surrounded. Xiuxiu helped Yang Liu bring up the dishes of the seasoning, and Li Cong found a tray, six bowls and six bowls.

Eating noodles should have an atmosphere, Yang Liu first felt that there should be a big bowl, so even in front of children is a big bowl, but there are not many noodles and more vegetable leaves. The willow at the bottom of the bowl has already been seasoned, just scoop up the oil residue. Increase the amount of certain seasoning according to personal taste, and mix well. Helping a few children put the seasoning, I could only hear the sound of snorting noodles.

Li Wu ate a few chopsticks noodles, turned his head and said to He, "Mother, I plan to go back to the town tomorrow." ”

"Why don't you say hello in advance, I didn't get anything delicious tonight, how can I just eat a few noodles? No, I'll have to make a few more dishes. Yu immediately put down his chopsticks and glanced at the willow with some dissatisfaction. Isn't it just too lazy to boil water and bathe a few brothers in the sun, what is there to boast about? I've been taking a cold shower for more than ten years, and I haven't seen any brothers who are not in good health. She was just too lazy to find a way to let Yang Liu take the lead, so she let Li Wu's brothers praise a few words. Hmph, pretend to be a good person, fox.

Yang Liu pretended not to hear. In my heart, I slandered Yu's belly, you play a good wife, and if you feel sorry for your husband, you will do it yourself. What's the use of just yelling, you don't know what is at home. I am not a servant. I don't owe you, I have to rush to please you if you say something empty. I'm tired of you liking me. Thinking like this, Yang Liu picked up a noodle and glared back without showing weakness.

Li Wu glared at Yu Shi and reprimanded in a low voice: "Shut up, you know how to eat, you can think of something else besides eating." ”

"I've been delayed at home for a few days, and I can't afford to miss any more errands." He only listened to what he should hear, and his eyes fell on the dog egg holding the big bowl of noodles, but he said to Li Wu: "Bring the dog egg with you, tomorrow I will rest in your rice shop for one night, and you will send him to the school the day after tomorrow." ”

Hearing that he was going to go to school, Goudan immediately put the bowl on the table, turned his head and said to He Shi while still holding the bowl with both hands: "Milk, I won't go to the school, I'll accompany you at home." ”

"Yo, my good grandson will feel sorry for people." He touched the face of the dog with one hand, the two touched their foreheads, He wiped off the noodle soup beard around the dog egg's lips, and said with a smile: "The milk heart has been received, but our dog is a person who will be a big official in the future, and now we have to go back to the school to study and read." Wait for you to ride a tall horse in red and green on the street one day, so that the milk will also be stained. ”

"Yes, I don't know if the dog will recognize me as a big uncle after becoming a big official." Xiao He pretended to sigh.

The dog nodded hurriedly: "Recognize, recognize, definitely recognize." ”

"Oops, my little liver." Xiao He couldn't help pinching the dog's cheek, kissed it, and reached out to scoop a spoonful of oil residue: "Eat more, eat more, our family will study alone, fortunately." ”

The dog pulled up his sleeves and wiped the saliva on his face, frowning and muttering: "Auntie, men and women don't kiss."

The ten-year-old dog's eggs are white and chubby, and they are particularly cute, even if they are exposed to the sun for a few days. Now he pouts and frowns with two short eyebrows, which is even more cute. Wen also joined in the fun, straightened up and wanted to kiss the dog's eggs.

Yu Shi was dissatisfied, covered the dog's cheek with one hand, glared at Wen Shi and said, "That's my son, kiss your own son." "The child's flesh is tender, saliva remains on the face, the dog's face will definitely have ringworm in the future, and she can't be ruined by a good son. Really, sister-in-law, forget it, you don't have it yourself, isn't the iron pillar next to you? I don't usually see you, what kind of intimacy is it now, is their relationship so good?

Coldly watching the hand that this qiē mountain put on his thigh clenched and loosened, released and clenched again, repeated several times, he looked at He Shi as if he had made up his mind: "Milk, I also miss studying." ”

The children's voice is small, not big, but it clearly falls on everyone's ears, and the atmosphere that looks good is suddenly broken. Almost everyone except Yang Liu had a stunned look on their faces, they heard it right, want to read?

The chopsticks that Wen had just picked up were put down again, and he hurriedly patted Dashan's arm and said, "What stupid things are you talking about, didn't you say you didn't read it when I asked you?" "Now their three-room life is not easy, there are many children, and there are few incomes. After paying a hundred dollars a month, I can't save much at all. If Dashan studies again, this is forcing them to die. Do you want a family not to eat or drink just to recognize a few words? Can you have a full stomach by reciting a few words, and your body is not cold?

Dashan didn't dare to look at Wen. He also knew the situation at home, otherwise he wouldn't have said he wouldn't have gone to school a few years ago. But just now when he saw his mother and his aunt flattering Brother Dog, Dashan felt very uncomfortable, he hoped that his mother would be proud of him, instead of relying on currying favor to get other people's light. He already knows how to read and memorize and write, and if he doesn't believe that he is worse than him, he really wants to study, holding chopsticks in his right hand, holding the bowl, lowering his head, weakly but firmly resisting: "I miss it." Then he suddenly became firm again. looked at Wen Shi and said loudly: "Mother, let's ask the second uncle and fifth uncle to borrow some money, I want to study, I can make interest, I will make an IOU, and I will guarantee that I can pay it back in the future." ”

"You kid" removed this fig leaf in his house in front of so many concubines, Wen was anxious and ashamed, and raised his slap to be beaten.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, Dashan is still a child. If you have something to say, it's good to say. Xiuxiu grabbed Wen's arm with both hands.

"Yo, brother and sister, it's a good thing that children want to study, why do you have to do it if you don't support it?" Yu gave Dashan a chopstick salad of cold beans. glanced at Wen obliquely: "Don't be afraid of the mountain, the second aunt supports you." ”

The Wen family opened his mouth and wanted to scold the Yu family, what is the situation in their room, and the Yu family doesn't know. Still stepping on your face like this? Is studying something you miss? Books and pen and ink don't need money, if she is rich, why doesn't she want Dashan to be able to read and write and get ahead? Let's go. I lost face, what are you doing to hide it? Fortunately, Wen was also released. looked at Li Wudao: "Of course I support my son's progress, but what can I do as a woman?" No matter how fanciful it is, there is nothing in my pocket, what can I do, what if I still have two babies? Baba waiting for pie to fall from the sky with her eyes open? Since the second sister-in-law is so supportive of my family's study, she must also see that my family's mountain will be a promising future for my family. In this way, I'll make an IOU here with my second brother, and borrow a few taels of silver first, okay? After speaking, he didn't give Li Wu a chance to speak, and asked He Shi directly what he had to say, "Mother, what do you say?" It's a good thing that the baby wants to study, and we can't be held back as elders. ”

Li Wu was still thinking about shirking, but he didn't expect Wen to directly cross him and ask He for an idea. He glanced at He, his mouth moved, but he still didn't speak.

"It's funny to say that my brother and sister, my mother raised a few uncles, and I still have to take care of my grandson's study? What do you parents do to eat, I haven't studied and I know that 'you can't raise a godfather', you are young and strong, you are good at not earning money for your son to study, and you let your mother take out the coffin book and paste it upside down, you are really filial. Yu took over the conversation, and directly regarded Wen's previous words of borrowing money as if he hadn't heard it, and fired at the latter sentence with all his might: "In the future, the mountains will come out, and I don't want to think about who is the most beautiful, and how much light can we uncles and aunts have." Oh, now that Dashan can't read, he blames those of us who are elders for not paying for it, and picking you as fathers and mothers cleanly. was supposed to contribute money and effort to pull back the legs, and if you can't study, let the child complain about our uncle, your abacus is good, but no one invited you. ”

Anyway, the word elder has such a wide range, and it can't be faulted when applied to He. For the Yu family, the son is the first, and Qian and Li Wu are the second, but the second is still more important, without money, how can he have a warm and bright future? Therefore, Wen's words were like ripping off her heart, and she immediately fought back without saving ammunition.

"I" Wen was speechless for a while, she originally wanted to borrow He's mouth to let Li Wu take out the money, and she was angry with Yu's family, how could she really borrow a few taels of silver to let Dashan go to the school. Looking at the clothes that Yu bought for the dog and the clothes for her husband all year round, she knew that reading was something that could be solved with a few taels of silver, so she didn't think about letting her children study at all. With Li Qiang, although life is difficult, she Wen Hehua has never begged anyone in her life, and she has fallen behind in the Yu family. It turns out that they are poor and blame them as parents.

"Dashan wants to study, so he should support it." He Shi's voice sounded at the right time, and immediately drew everyone's attention to her. He lowered his head and asked Goudan: "Goudan, are you willing to teach your younger brother?" ”

Stunned that He would ask this, the action of the dog egg snorting noodles stopped, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Dashan, but it happened to meet Dashan's line of sight. Both of them were stunned, and then turned their eyes away, but at the same time, both of them concealed the matter of the dog teaching Dashan in private. The dog didn't want to be scolded for speaking out, and Dashan wanted to enter the school.

Yu's heart was very unpleasant and poked the noodles in the bowl, as soon as he lost Wen's face, his mother politely praised Wen's, how can there be a good thing in the world that he doesn't want to spend money to learn in vain. If you think like this, what kind of gentleman do you want, what kind of school do you run, everyone is a talent. The silver she used for Goudan's education was not blown by the wind, just because Wen's had no money, she had to let Goudan spend time to teach Dashan, so that Wen's could pick a cheap one for nothing, why, there was no reason for having no money? She provides her son with education in order to enjoy a good life in the future, and now that the blessing is not even a shadow, she will be cut off by someone half of the central government, how can this work? Yu pinched Li Wu.

In fact, without Yu's actions, Li Wu also knew what to say. People are selfish, and they say decent things in their mouths, Li Wu still hopes that his son will be better than other nephews in this family, so he has a little embarrassment on his face: "Mother, Mr. said that he would let Wen Han try to take the exam next year."

"That's not good, you can't delay the dog's learning because of teaching the mountain." Hearing this, He Shi did not hesitate to deny the construction she had just mentioned. She doesn't have much knowledge, but she also knows that reading is not so easy, and an old hunchback surnamed Liu in the next village is sixty-seven, and he is still stuck in the Tongsheng level. Regardless of whether the mountain is the material for reading or not, the dog has been reading for three or four years, and it is better than the mountain who has just come into contact with books and has black eyes. Goudan and Dashan are both her grandchildren, but she can't trade the future of one grandson for another. At the beginning, she gave a fair chance, but Dashan gave up herself, she knew that Dashan's child was precocious, and she didn't go because she understood that the family had no money, but no one's money was hard to come by, even if it was a brother, no one should help you support the family. In the final analysis, the temper of the third child is too reasonable, as long as it is not harmful, what's wrong with playing a little cunning, the stones in the river are all round, who are you going to stab this stab? (To be continued......)
