Chapter 136: The Book
When the summer is at its hottest, both home school and boudoir school are on vacation. On a hot summer afternoon, people don't lift their feet to go out. Under the rich shade of the four rooms, a thin net had already been opened, and a table was placed under the net, on which a tea set was placed. There was a large straw mat on the ground, on which the people of the four rooms, those who had never rested, all sat on it, each doing his own thing.
The wind blew the leaves with a cheerful sound, and by the way, blew down a few fallen leaves and fell on the net. Wen Chaoqing stood up and pressed the top net with the flower and leaf fan in his hand, and the leaves fell from the net to the ground. Wen Chaoqing walked back and sat on the stool, looked up at the sky, and said, "It will take a few days to get warm." Jin wiped his sweaty hands with a handkerchief, then looked up at the sky, turned his head and asked Wen Chaoqing: "There is sour jujube soup in the well, I asked someone to bring it over, and we will drink a bowl to relieve the heat." Wen Chaoqing looked at the children sitting on the straw mat and focusing on what he was doing, he shook his head lightly, signaling the Jin family not to disturb the children.
Wen Xueyi heard her parents' words, she raised her eyes to look at Wen Chaoqing and Jin's expressions, glanced at Wen Xiuyu who was immersed in a book next to her, and then glanced at Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun who were writing and painting together, and then at Wen Xiujie who was sleeping in the middle of the straw mat. She smiled and said to the Jin family: "Mother, let's wait for Brother Jie to wake up, and we will drink sour jujube soup together." Jin immediately remembered the tossing strength of his youngest son, and he alone could outperform the troubles of the four brothers and sisters above. When he is awake, he can run back and forth between the front yard and the back yard without stopping, and only when he reads can he settle down a little.
Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun were busy for a while. The two finally put down the charcoal in their hands, and after the two siblings looked at each other, they pulled each other to stand up. The two sisters and brothers walked to Wen Chaoqing's side, and pulled each other again, and finally decided that Wen Chunyi would open his mouth and say: "Daddy, Brother Jun and I are going to publish a book, you can help us." Wen Chaoqing was so shocked that the fan in her hand fell off, and half of the knots in Jin's hand were dismantled by her in shock. Wen Xueyi and Wen Xiuyu looked like the two sisters and brothers were joking again, and only Wen Xiujie slept deeply.
Wen Chunyi bent down to pick up the fan and handed it to Wen Chaoqing's hand. Say, "Daddy." Brother Jun and I have figured it out, and we have already written and drawn the book. We went to the bookstore and saw that the books weren't as well written as the two of us. "After entering the hot summer, Jin Fengyan came over every two or three days to pick up the Wenxue brothers and sisters out of the house. Wen Xueyi and Wen Xiujie don't follow every time. Only the Wen Xiuyu brothers and Wen Chunyi must go every time. Every time I go home. They will also make an appointment with Jin Fengyan about the next time they leave the mansion. Wen Chaoqing and the Jin family began to feel that they had delayed Jin Fengyan's study, and later listened to his explanation and wanted to take the opportunity to know some things about the people.
The husband and wife were relieved. Jin Fengyan is a reliable person, so he arranged the trip out of the house. Since he was old, Wen Chaoqing asked Jin Fengyan later, knowing that the place they went to most often was the bookstore, so he was more at ease, and he didn't have the heart to ask more. Wen Xiujun frowned and looked at Wen Chaoqing and said, "Daddy, can you help us?" Wen Chaoqing looked at the two of them, a person at such a young age dared to open his mouth to bring up the matter of the book, it was really bold. Wen Chaoqing couldn't help but reply to the two of them, saying, "Show me the book you said first, and then talk about whether you can help or not." ”
Wen Chunyi immediately handed over the paper he was holding in his hand to Wen Chaoqing and said to him: "Dad, you look at the number of pages indicated below, don't mess up our paper count." Later, we'll ask my brother to help fix the book. Wen Chaoqing saw the two children staring at him with wide eyes, obviously asking him to look at it now. He couldn't get by, so he could only lower his head and turn it over, and he gradually understood that it was the two children who wrote down the matter of growing vegetables on weekdays. Every time Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun grow vegetables, they will write down what they do every day from turning the ground, and Wen Chaoqing and Jin have praised them for this good way of remembering.
Wen Chaoqing carefully flipped through the papers, and asked Wen Xiuyu to bring the tools for stading, and when he started to nail them, he asked, "Do you have anything else to change?" Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun looked at him with a smile, Wen Xiujun shook his head and said, "No need to change it." I just asked my brother to write the title of the book, and when we thought of the title, it was called 'Teach you to grow vegetables in your own backyard'. Wen Chaoqing glanced at Wen Chunyi, he knew that such a trouble-free name must have been decided by Wen Chunyi. When her daughter was young, she was usually so lazy that people wanted to shake her a few times, but when she wanted to do the right thing, she was a person who didn't stop.
Wen Chaoqing looked at the sun in the sky and asked Wen Xueyi: "Xueyi, is your uncle at home today?" Wen Xueyi glanced at her younger siblings with joyful expressions on her faces, and knew the meaning of Wen Chaoqing's question. She smiled and said, "Dad, Uncle is resting today." Wen Chaoqing got up with the crude book, and said to Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun: "Father doesn't dare to promise you such a big thing as publishing a book." However, I will take you to tell your uncle that as long as you can convince him, the matter of publishing this book will be logical. Wen Chunyi and Wen Xiujun looked at each other, and both of them nodded with great confidence.
Wen Chunyi felt that almost all the books on growing vegetables in the bookstore were written in one stroke, and they wrote carefully and interestingly. When Wen Chunyi first did this record, it was just to strengthen Wen Xiujun's memory and interest. These days, going in and out of the bookstore has made her think like this. She didn't think that the only role of books was to pass them on, as people think today. She thinks that she can't make a masterpiece, but she can also make a pragmatic book. Wen Chunyi's seemingly absurd idea can only find one co-conspirator, that is, Wen Xiujun, who has been following the story.
Wen Xiujun was still young, and when he heard the great ideal of Wen Chunyi, he immediately took action. The two sisters and brothers carried people on their backs and combined what they had written down. Wen Chunyi is not a child in the real sense, she naturally understands that it is interspersed with some interesting little things that happen when growing vegetables, which can not only make people laugh, but also increase people's understanding of books. For example, when the vegetables were first planted, not long after the vegetables first grew, the sisters and brothers couldn't distinguish between the vegetables and the grass, so they pulled out the vegetables and left the grass. The sister and brother followed Wen Chaoqing behind, squeezing each other's eyes, and both of them felt that it was not a big deal.
Wen Chaoqing turned his head to look at the two sisters and brothers with relaxed expressions, and felt that their husbands and wives were both peaceful and self-conscious, why did the children look at each other as stable people, but none of them were really peaceful people. When the old lady Wen lived a handful of years, she wrote a lot of things, but she never thought about publishing a book. Now my own children, the eldest is not yet nine years old, not to mention the youngest one, at that age, I am afraid that everyone will say that they are talking nonsense. But the things that these two villains came up with, he thought it was interesting when he looked at it, and he thought that it was such a beautiful family affair to grow vegetables in his backyard.
Wen Chaohong received the notice, looked at Wen Chaoqing, who was frowning at the door of the study, and then looked at the two villains behind him in surprise, and hurriedly ordered the little guy waiting outside the door of the study to clear all the ice boxes placed in the study. The rule of Wenfu is that the children are young and cannot withstand the ice soaking their bones in summer. The fourth room is routinely placed with ice cubes every summer, but Wen Chaoqing has always been rarely in the study, so he rejected this routine. Wen Chaoqing saw Wen Chaohong acting like this, so he had to stand at the door of the study with his two children, waiting for the little servants to clean the ice box in the study.
Wen Chaohong casually pushed open the window, and the hot wind blew in, blowing the icy inner room hotter. Wen Chaohong then motioned for Wen Chaoqing to bring the two children in, Wen Chaoqing handed the booklet in his hand to Wen Chaohong, and said, "Big brother, can you see if this booklet can be published?" Wen Chaohong looked at Wen Chaoqing in surprise, took the thing casually, remembered to save some face for him in front of the two children, and whispered: "Fourth brother, are you hot and confused?" I'll tell your sister-in-law that I'll give ice to your room later. However, the children can't stand the ice, so you still have to be careful. ”
Wen Chaoqing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Big brother, you look at what is written on this booklet, and then talk about other things." Wen Chaohong opened the things that were obviously written by children when they were learning to write, he raised his eyes and saw Wen Chaoqing's cautious and cautious expression, and then saw the two children staring at him, and swallowed back the sarcastic words that came to his mouth. Wen Chaohong drove slowly away, a smile on his lips. After a while, he closed the booklet and asked, "Who are Ah Da and Ah Xiao?" Wen Xiujun glanced at Wen Chunyi, who lowered his head, and had to step forward and say, "Uncle, Ah Da is my sister, Ah Xiao is me."
My sister told me at that time that we were young, and we were afraid that there were some things that we remember now, and when we had to do it in the second year, we wouldn't remember too much, so it was better to write like this and stay. That way, when it's time to grow vegetables the next year, you don't have to go around asking people. Besides, if these papers are accidentally dropped, others will not be able to guess who is written in them, and after reading them, they will only think that the names are very interesting, and they will think that the two boys are naughty. Wen Chaohong looked at the little woman who lowered her eyebrows and looked peaceful, it is said that she has all kinds of appearances in her boudoir, which can only be said to be extremely ordinary. He does not show his grandeur in his studies, and he acts calmly and lightly.
Wen Chaohong felt the children of Yifu for the first time, and Wen Chunyi was probably the least showy person. He turned to think of the prejudice against Wen Chunyi because of the old lady, so that the elders of the whole house treated her a little coldly, both in face and in secret, in order to hear the old lady's mind. Wen Chunyi listened to Wen Chaohong and Wen Xiujun's questions and answers with a faint expression, no matter whether this matter was successful or not, at least she had worked hard. In this era, publishing a book is a very, very incredible event, let alone two children at such a young age. (To be continued......)
