I'm going to pay New Year's greetings, update in advance)

In the meantime, every half hour or so, Zhao and Ju would arrange a pillar of incense for them to relax. Ten numbers and ten Chinese characters are not a problem for smart children like Chen Yicheng and Chen Ren, who have already recognized them before the first break. During the second break, they mostly could write, only occasionally getting it wrong. Even Long Twelve and Li Ye recognized all the numbers and Chinese characters during the third break, that is, before school.

This time, it was the girl who fell last. A little girl who is only eight years old is the most outstanding among all girls, she is the third to know, second only to Chen Yicheng and Chen Ren, Zhao and Ju remember that her name is Geng Wan, she looks thin and small, and her eyes on her yellowed face are exceptionally clear and bright. The girl who finally learned was the oldest, already twelve years old, always bowing her head and blushing, her name was Han Yu, but she was able to trace the Chinese characters and numbers before the class was finished.

"When the time comes, go wash up and rest, and someone will wake you up at sunrise tomorrow morning, and every day after that." Zhao Youju picked up a small wooden hammer and knocked it on a chime, and the chime made a crisp sound, which was the end of class bell.

These children could not hold back for a long time, and could not help but cheer when they heard the command. Zhao Youju frowned slightly, and then let go, this is the true temperament of a child, it is not normal to be like himself.

Long Twelve did not make any noise, he was still silently recalling the Chinese characters and numbers taught by Zhao and Ju in his heart, he knew that he was clumsy, and he had been lonely since he was a child, it was rare to have a master who did not do anything to give him a full meal, so he naturally cherished it extraordinarily.

He had no intention of making a noise, but Li Ye, who had always looked at him unpleasantly, didn't want to let him go, and took the opportunity that Zhao Youju, Zhao Yong and Cui'er didn't pay attention to when he went out, Li Ye pushed Long Twelve from behind. Dragon Twelve was about to cross the threshold, but he pushed him forward, and tripped over the threshold, and with an "ah" sound, he fell to the ground, and his head was immediately broken.

Although Long Twelve is stubborn, he is only a ten-year-old child, and under this pain, he naturally can't help but cry. When Zhao Youju looked back at him, he saw that he was wiping blood and tears, but he gritted his teeth and didn't cry, which made Zhao Youju's heart move.

A person's talent and knowledge can be cultivated through hard work, but a person's character cannot be easily changed by hard work. This dragon twelve is resolute and strong, and he should pay attention to his specialty in the future.

By the light of the torches, Xiao Cui saw that Long Twelve's head was still bleeding, so she hurriedly went up and pressed down on Long Twelve's wound with a white silk handkerchief. Long Twelve only felt a faint fragrance coming from the silk handkerchief, and his face immediately turned red, and it seemed that his forehead was not so painful.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Cui asked softly.

Long Twelve He had encountered such treatment, he wanted to reach out and grab the silk handkerchief, but Xiao Cui's hand pressed on the silk handkerchief, and he didn't dare to touch it. He was a silent man, so his face turned red, and he muttered for a while, "No...... It doesn't hurt! ”

Li Ye hid among the children, and when he saw Xiao Cui gathering next to Long Twelve, he felt a sense of jealousy in his heart for no reason, feeling that this deaf and stupid Long Twelve was a fool and a fool. As he was thinking, a sharp gaze made his heart tremble, in the days of wandering, he had also committed petty theft, and was very sensitive to the gaze of others, so he lowered his head and hid the expression on his face.

"Li Ye." He lowered his head to confirm Zhao Youju's guess, so Zhao and Ju calmly called out Li Ye's name.

"The villain is ......" Li Ye's body shook slightly: "What does the eldest young master command?" ”

"You don't have lunch tomorrow." Zhao Heju said: "Sister Cui'er, remember, this person named Li Ye will not have lunch for the next three days. Zhao Yong, remember, for the next seven days, every day before breakfast, I will whip this ten whips called Li Ye in public. ”

"The eldest young master forgive me, the eldest young master forgive me!" Li Ye never thought that his prank would be punished so severely, so he immediately knelt down and cried and begged Zhao Heju for mercy.

"I'll count to three, and if you're still kneeling and making noise to me, I'll drive you out of the house tonight." Zhao Youju frowned, this Li Ye has a lot of bad problems, obviously, Shi Mo Guangyan is not very attentive when picking people.

Although the contact time has not been long, Li Ye knows that this eldest young master is the same thing, and among the two things he ordered for the first time, there are those who will resolutely do what he commands. So he was so frightened that he kept silent, just knelt there and kowtowed.

"If you are wrong, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright." Zhao Youju said something that made everyone feel incomprehensible, smiled himself, and then said: "Meritorious work must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished, Li Ye, do you remember the fifth article of the family rules?" ”

In the house rules memorized by the children in the afternoon, the fifth article clearly stated that the same Zhao family should be friendly and mutually helpful, and should not make trouble. Li Ye listened to Zhao Heju's words, and his heart sank again, and then he realized that Zhao Heju's punishment was not a whim.

Seeing Li Ye's pitiful appearance, Xiao Cui originally wanted to intercede for him, but before he could speak, Zhao Youju's gaze swept over, and for some reason, Xiao Cui felt that this gaze was so stern that it was almost unfamiliar, and the words of plea to her mouth were swallowed back.

The rest of the children were terrified when they heard that he had punished Li Ye indifferently, and Li Ye's rash move made him a tool for Zhao and Ju Liwei.

After everyone dispersed, Li Ye still knelt on the ground, secretly regretting in his heart that Zhao Heju had never let him get up, and he didn't dare to stand up at all.

"Get up." He was at the same time of regret and worry, when he suddenly heard a voice like heaven, and when he looked up, he saw the stinky face of Dragon Twelve. Looking to the side again, Xiao Cui's eyes were both concerned and annoyed.

"Get up." Xiao Cui stretched out his hand and pulled him and said: "The eldest young master is a heavenly immortal, with an extremely good heart, if you weren't too naughty, you wouldn't be punished like this, you will remember it in the future, don't mess around!" ”

This kind of preaching was originally what Li Ye hated the most, but somehow, Xiao Cui said it softly, which made his heart warm and very useful. He nodded unconsciously, but it was Long Twelve, still with a straight face on the side, looking unhappy.

Following Xiao Cui's pull, Li Ye stood up and followed behind dejectedly.

This last compound is divided into two halves by a horizontal wall, and in the middle of the first half is separated by a vertical wall, on which the children are placed on either side of the vertical wall. There were six rooms on each side, and Zhao and Ju had already asked a carpenter to put chuang shelves in the room, which he modeled after the bunk beds in the dormitories of later students, and only squeezed six beds in each room, which meant that these rooms could accommodate 72 men and 72 men and women. Now only half of them are in the hands of Zhao and Ju, so the housing is quite affluent. These children had never lived in this kind of bunk bed, and they were quite excited when they came in, even Long Twelve and Li Ye also felt extremely happy.

But when the two learned that they were in the same room, the joy immediately faded.
