“…… Ahh......h Woo...... Uh......"

The staccato sound came out, accompanied by the chirping of summer insects, which was the cry of a child.

In the small classroom on the edge of the ridge, the little girl stood there, crying, and feeling that she was about to anger the beautiful female gentleman in front of her.

The little girl was seven years old, her clothes were patched, and she was not clean, she was thin and small, and her hair was mostly yellow from dryness, and she was tied into two braids at the back of her head - malnutrition, which was why many little girls were later called yellow-haired girls. She didn't want to cry herself, she made a few sounds, and then she tried to hold back, so she made a few more crying sounds, and the tears were so anxious that they had covered her whole little face.

Yuan Jin'er stood there frowning, staring at the little girl with her lips slightly open, a little speechless.

"What are you crying about?"

"What is there to cry about."

"Mr. didn't hit you again!"

"Wow uh uh ......"

"Min Chuyi!"

"Ugh!"

The little girl was stunned again, staring at her big eyes and standing there in fear, tears flowing, and after a while: "Woo woo woo ......"

"I'm so angry, take it out!"

Teacher Yuan waved the ruler, the little girl was so frightened that she quickly stretched out her right hand board, and then was slapped ten times by Yuan Jin'er, she used the back of her left hand to block her mouth, and the right hand board was red, and the crying was stopped because of being blocked by her hand. After the prototype was finished, Yuan Jin'er pulled down her left hand that was almost stuffed into her mouth, and said to the side: "I'm so angry!" Ning Xi, you take her out to wash her hands! ”

"Auntie, don't be angry......"

"Call sir." Yuan Jin'er glared at him.

"Mr. Yuan." Ning Xi, who was just five years old, shrank her little head, put her hands together, and saluted Yuan Jin'er. "We're out."

He pulled the girl named Min Chuyi and ran quickly, and when he reached the door, he saw him pull up the other party's sleeve and blow twice on his right hand: "Does it hurt?" ”

With tears in her eyes, the little girl nodded and shook her head.

"It doesn't hurt to blow and blow......"

Not far outside the classroom, there is a small stream. The two children went over there. In the classroom, Yuan Jin'er turned her head, and a group of children were sitting upright, so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word, and the two twin children at the back of the classroom even subconsciously leaned against each other on the small bench. In my heart, I feel that my husband is so scary, so we must study hard......

Yuan Jin'er subconsciously crossed her hands on her waist and exhaled. She is wearing a light white long skirt with lake green patterns today, the style is simple and beautiful, and the movement of crossing her waist casually is also interesting, but in the eyes of many children. After all, it's just evidence that the teacher is terrible.

"Okay, let's continue reading: Dragon Master Fire Emperor, Bird Official Emperor. The first word, but the clothes ......"

A group of children hurriedly followed: "Dragon Master Fire Emperor, Bird Official Emperor." The first word, but the clothes ......"

"These words are talking about it, Master Long, that is, the ancient Fuxi Emperor. He named the hundred officials after the dragon, so later people called him the dragon master. And the Fire Emperor is the Shennong who tastes the herbs, also called the Yan Emperor......"

The clean voice of Miss Jin'er came from the classroom. Xiao Canghe has only been created for a short time, and it is originally simple to talk about classes. At first, Zhuo Xiaofeng and others wanted to learn some knowledge of the sage book, and Yunzhu helped to explain the class in his spare time. She is gentle and soft. The explanation is also quite patient in place, and the parents of some children in the valley also hope that their children will have a chance to read, so a fixed place has been formed.

By last winter, the number of families moving in from the valley gradually increased. There are also a lot of school-age children, so Ning Yi officially hosted the school. There are two teachers in the school, one is an old master among the original storytellers, and Yunzhu also helps, but at this time Yunzhu is pregnant, and her belly is gradually getting bigger.

In this way, Jin'er was in charge of a kindergarten class in the school to enlighten a group of children. After the beginning of spring, when the snow melted and the ice melted, Ning Yi advocated that even girls could learn and learn some truths, so some girls were sent in - after all, the development of Confucianism at this time had not yet reached the level of great prosperity of science and serious overkill.

It's just that Jin'er's temperament is not as gentle as Yunzhu. In fact, the woman who came out of the Qinglou came to the step of being the top brand of the Qing Dynasty, although the scenery is infinite, but she has suffered so much and been beaten so much as a child. Teaching children in the Qinglou will not have any warm education, it is nothing more than the elimination of high-pressure policies in batches, and only after gradually revealing their qualifications can they get some good faces.

Jin'er has also shown a lot of patience, but these children who have a bad family background have not seen much of the world, and sometimes they are so stupid that they can't even speak. Jin'er's dress in Xiaocanghe is extremely simple, but in the eyes of these children, she is still as beautiful as a goddess, sometimes Jin'er's eyes are glaring, and the child blushes and feels that he has done something wrong, so he sheds tears, waw wow crying, which is inevitably to eat some head.

Fortunately, after the fight, they can do better.

It's just that a group of children were originally taught by Yunzhu for two months. At the moment, similar to the impression that Teacher Jin'er is very beautiful and beautiful, but also very fierce and fierce, I can't get rid of it.

Jin'er is sometimes quite aggrieved. However, in the face of a group of children, there is no need to show it, so he can only continue to teach "Thousand Words" with a cold face.

While the lesson was going on in the classroom, the little boy and the little girl had already washed their hands and faces by the stream outside. The little girl named Min Chuyi is a refugee who came in from outside the mountains in winter, and her family was not good, although she was seven years old, malnourished and timid, and she was nervous about anything, but if there was no stranger to take care of her, she was a good hand at picking wild vegetables and doing housework and carrying firewood. She was a head taller than the young Ning Xi, but she looked like Ning Xi's little sister beside her.

After washing their hands, the two quietly approached the cabin that served as a classroom again. Min Chuyi followed the voice in the classroom and exhaled vigorously: "Push...... Bit...... Let the country be safe...... Tao Tang. Hanging people...... Felling ...... Week...... Hair...... Yin Tang ...... "With Xiao Ningxi's encouragement, she subconsciously clenched her fists to cheer herself up while reading it, although her words were still light, she finally finished reading it smoothly.

Ning Xi nodded beside him, and then whispered: "Push the throne and give way to the country." There is Yu Tao Tang, this is the story of Yao and Shun......"

“…… What are Yao and Shun? Min Chuyi asked in a low voice, and at the end of his words, he was slightly shy.

"Ah...... It's two emperors......"

"That'...... What is an emperor? The little girl hesitated for a long time, and then asked again.

"Uh, the Emperor......" the little boy's lips touched. Somewhat dumbfounded......

The sun was shining brightly, it seemed a little hot, and the cicadas were chirping in the trees all the time. The time had just entered May, and when it was almost noon, the day's classes had ended, and the children saluted Mr. Jin'er one by one and left. The little girl who had cried before also timidly came over and bowed, whispered thank you, sir, and then went to the back of the class and found her rattan basket on her back. didn't dare to wave goodbye to Ning Xi, lowered his head and walked away slowly.

The children in the valley are not from military families, but from bitter families. Min Chuyi's parents were originally very poor farmers near Yanzhou, and when the Tangut people came, the family fled in a daze, and her grandmother ran back for the only half of the iron pot in the family, and was killed by the Tangut people. Later, when they met Xiao Canghe's army, all the belongings of the family of three were only a single piece of clothing. Not only is it thin, but I don't know how many years I've been wearing it. The little girl was held in the arms of her parents and almost froze to death.

Their family had no belongings, and once it was winter, the only way to survive was to hide in their homes around the fire to keep warm. Xiao Canghe's army rescued them and kept them. I also got some medicine to get the little girl out of the deadly misfortune of the wind and cold.

This kind of poor person is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness. After living in Xiaocanghe, the taciturn Min couple almost never cared about dirty tiredness and did any work. They are the ones who have worked hard in the past. After having enough nutrition, he can do things better than many soldiers in the Wurui battalion. It was also because of this that Min Chuyi got the opportunity to enroll in school soon after. When she got the good news, her father, who had never been silent and didn't see much emotion at home, stroked her hair and choked with tears, but the little girl knew the importance of this matter, and she was nervous at every turn since then, and she never got used to it.

To be honest, compared to Teacher Jin'er's eyes that looked like she was angry, she hoped that the teacher would keep beating her up. The handboard is actually much better.

The children who come here to study often go to collect a batch of wild vegetables early in the morning, and then come to the school to drink porridge and eat a coarse grain steamed bun - this is the food presented by the school. Morning classes are a rule set by Ning Yi, and they have not to be changed, because at this time, the brain is more active and more suitable for studying.

After school at noon, some people will eat half a cake brought, and some people will go directly to the neighborhood with a basket to continue picking wild vegetables, and by the way, rummage for gophers and hares, if they can find them, it will be a big harvest for the children.

Of course, Min Chuyi didn't have lunch to eat. Even if Mr. Ning once personally told her father that children eat something at noon to help them grow up well in the future, it is still difficult for families who have only eaten two meals a day for a long time to understand such a luxury-even if the food distributed to them in the valley can at least give the family of three an extra lunch, but the Min family and his wife just silently put away the food and put it aside.

Once, Min Chuyi heard his parents secretly discussing whether to return the grain. After staying here for nearly half a year, they were worried about the plight in the valley, where there was said to be little food. At the same time, they were also worried that the valley might be invaded by the Tanguts. Bitter people who only have simple ideas can't analyze too many things, but this kind of non-bullying people, giving food and new clothes, and even caring about the places where the children don't eat enough is almost heaven for them.

They were afraid that one day this place would cease to exist. Later, the food was not returned, and my father did more every day. After coming back, he felt a little satisfied, and his mother occasionally mentioned it: "Mr. Ning is such a powerful person, he won't let something happen here." There is hope in the words. For them, they are never afraid of getting tired.

The child gradually left, and Jin'er picked up a small pocket for the book before picking up Ning Xi. Ning Xi awkwardly in her arms: "Auntie, I want to go by myself." ”

Jin'er glanced at him, pursed her lips, put him down, and then took his hand. After the two walked out, the female soldiers nearby followed.

"Grow up. How does it feel to stay with that girl? ”

“…… She's so stupid. ”

"Oh." Jin'er nodded, "Well, it's stupid." ”

"Auntie, what do you mean by the emperor?"

"Emperor, this, the ancient books say that the emperor is the top, the emperor is the bottom, and the top and bottom mean heaven and earth. That's what it meant at the beginning......"

"Then why is the emperor the upper and the emperor the lower?"

"What the ancient books say, what the ancient books say is the biggest, how do I know, you find time to ask your father to go. But now, the emperor is a big official, a big, big official, the biggest official......"

Walking out of the small fence around the classroom, the mountain road stretches down, the children are running excitedly, and the girl with the small basket on her back is also among them, although she is thin and small, she is not slow, but when Ning Xi looked over, the little girl also looked back, and I don't know if she was looking at this side. Ning Xi dragged Jin'er's hand, turned his head and said, "Auntie, they are going to pick wild vegetables and collect firewood, can I also help?" ”

"There you go...... If you go, you'll have to send someone to follow you again......" Jin'er looked back at the female soldier who was following behind, "Well, you ask your father to go." However, I still went back to accompany my sister today. ”

"Oh." Ning Xi nodded, "I don't know if my sister is crying again today." Girls love to cry......"

The little girl with the basket on her back and a group of children had already run into the distance, and a little farther into the valley, rows of soldiers were training and shouting. Jin'er and Ning Xi walked to the courtyard on the side of the hill not far away. The mountain breeze is cool, and there is a large tree in the courtyard, and the swing on the tree is swinging in the wind. The window was open to a room outside the courtyard, and in front of the window, the man who was his husband and father was writing something. Yuan Jin'er and Ning Xi saw that there was also a man standing outside the courtyard, this was a soldier from the Wurui Battalion, but Yuan Jin'er was a little impressed, this person's name was Luo Ye, and he had set up a small group called Huayan Society in the army, and Xu had come to see Ning Yi.

Ning Yi is usually not here at work, and only occasionally when it is convenient, he will call someone over, most likely because it is lunch time.

Xiao Ningji was playing with stones under the eaves.

"Ah, my sister didn't cry." Not hearing the usual crying in the courtyard, Ning Xi was quite happy and let go of Jin'er's hand, "I'll go in to see my sister." ”

Seeing his brother come back, Xiao Ningji stood up from the ground, and was about to speak, when he remembered something, he raised his finger and booed seriously at the edge of his mouth, pointing to the room behind him. Ning Xi nodded, and entered the room lightly.

Jin'er nodded at Luo Ye, who was waiting outside the courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door and entered.

After a while, Ning Yi stopped his pen and opened the door to call Luo Ye in.

This day is the second day of the fifth month, and everything in Xiaocanghe seems to be ordinary and calm. Sometimes, it can even make people forget the great changes in the outside world.

In the study, beckoning Luo Ye to sit down, Ning Yi poured a cup of tea, took out a few pieces of refreshment, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

"I've been thinking about the grain in the valley for a few days, and there may be a way to talk to Mr. Ning privately."

Ning Yi hadn't sat down yet, and at this time, he tilted his head slightly. (To be continued.) )
