On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou had been depressed, but the next morning she still did her duty as a wife, and asked Xiu'er to send the two catties of beef that Hui Niang gave her yesterday to Shen Xi's uncle's house, and send some gifts by the way, after all, the old lady has been living in the Shen family's house for a long time, and there must always be an expression.

Zhou always wanted to ask Shen Mingjun why he didn't come back for the holiday, and there was still no news of Shen Mingjun after two days, she couldn't help but get nervous, for fear that her husband would do something unsightly outside, so she hurried to Wang's house to ask, only then did she know that Shen Mingjun went out of the city with Wang Changnie, the lord of the Wang family, to collect land rent.

There is no man in the family, so Zhou takes Shen Xi and Lin Dai to sleep in the pharmacy every day, and at night Shen Xi squeezes a bed with Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er, and tells the story every day "hugging left and right", although Lin Dai is a little jealous of Lu Xi'er's obsession with Shen Xi, but there is no crack in her relationship with Lu Xi'er, and Lu Xi'er also knows that this young lady is not easy to mess with, and she uses her lingering offensive every time. This trick is good for Shen Xi, and it also works for Lin Dai.

When Shen Mingjun came back, Zhou's temper towards her husband became bigger.

In the past, Zhou's was always spicy outside, but she was a little bird in front of her husband, but since she had a secret in her heart, and Shen Mingjun always avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, which made her temper gradually grow, and occasionally had a cold war with her husband, and ignored her.

Shen Xi has always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss the issue of starting a second business with his father, but he has no chance.

Seeing that at the end of August, it was already the season of autumn and the leaves were withering, and Shen Xi also added clothes to his body. The ferryman was scared, Yan, and Brother Guan looked at Sister Zhang

As his family's situation improved, Shen Xi no longer had to wear clothes with patches, and he could change into clean and tidy clothes every two or three days. Zhou and Hui Niang occasionally gave him pocket money, which he didn't use when he held it, so he saved it all, and now he has seven or eight taels of silver before he knows it.

"Disciple, if you enter, you will be filial, and if you go out, you will be cautious and faithful, and you will love all ......"

On this day, Shen Xi occasionally contracted a cold, and his spirit was not very good, and Mr. Su Yunzhong from the school talked about the interpretation of the "Analects" on it, and Shen Xi listened listlessly. However, it wasn't just him, and few of the classmates next to him listened carefully. This "Analects" is also the content of the "Disciple Rules" that was compiled two or three hundred years later, what Su Yunzhong talked about Shen Xi is the left ear in and the right ear out, because of the wind cold and poor rest, he really wanted to lie down and sleep.

"Shen Yuan, you get up and recite the next paragraph of the Analects."

Su Yunzhong said suddenly, and Shen Xi's six gods returned to their positions in an instant, and even the surrounding students cheered up.

Mr. let me memorize, and if I memorize it skillfully, I naturally want Mr. to name him and want to perform well, while those who don't memorize well are honest, afraid of being taken out by Mr. and make a fool of myself.

Among his peers, Shen Yuan, who had outstanding academic performance, but was always pressed by Shen Xi, stood up and recited, not only proficient, but also pronounced clearly, Su Yunzhong always nodded in approval with great relief.

Originally, Su Yunzhong attached great importance to the children of the Shen family, but later because of the matter of "Kindergarten Qionglin", he had some nostalgia for Shen Xi, and his attention was on how to cultivate Shen Yuan.

In Su Yunzhong's opinion, among the three children of the Shen family studying in the school, Shen Yongzhuo, the eldest man of the Shen family, has mediocre qualifications, and the chance of passing the children's examination is not great.

Only Shen Yuan, who is not only talented and intelligent, but also open-minded and studious, is a material that can be made. The main reason is that Shen Yuan often asks for knowledge that he doesn't understand, but Shen Xi doesn't have this kind of open-minded and studious spirit.

"When I go back, read it carefully, write out the paraphrase, and hand it over to Mr. tomorrow."

After listening to Shen Yuan's recitation, Su Yunzhong saw that the sundial at the door was about to end of school, so he asked the students to study on their own first, and he had to go to the other two classes.

Waiting for the gentleman to leave, Shen Yuan sat down and recited carefully, and the book was loud.

A classmate next to Shen Yuan sarcastically disdainfully: "What's the use of carrying it, in the end, it's not that you want to go back to the countryside to be a village farmer?" ”

The name of the speaker is Lin Qi, the grandson of the shopkeeper who runs a rice grain shop in the city, he is slightly older among his peers, and he likes to bully people the most, and Shen Yuan is the one who is bullied by him the most.

The voice was loud, as if it was deliberately said to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan couldn't help lowering his head when he heard this, and his recitation voice became smaller unconsciously. Shen Yuan's self-esteem is very strong, but he is timid and afraid of things, and he doesn't dare to fight with others, even if he is bullied by his classmates on weekdays, he can only swallow his anger.

"Hey."

Shen Xi yawned and sneered, "Yes, let's go back to the countryside to be village husbands, so what are you going to do?" Are you openly mocking your classmates? ”

After all, there are still many students around the county, although most of them have a good background, and a small half of their families are landlords, but in the final analysis, they still have to rely on the land to live. Shen Xi's words stunned Lin Qi's dissatisfaction with Shen Yuan as an attack on the whole class, and he did a good job of diverting hatred.

A student next to him immediately retorted: "We are going back to the countryside to be village husbands, but we are in front of the merchants' homes." Besides, Mr. said, everything is inferior, only reading is high, we study to be motivated, one day to embark on a career, Lin Laoliu, how can you say that? ”

"Who said you guys?"

Lin Qi's face turned red, and he soon quarreled with his classmates, and then the quarrel became more and more intense, and no one cared about Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan continued to read, but he didn't dare to provoke the ridicule of others again.

After school, Shen Xi walked over and greeted: "Sixth brother, my mother asked me to take you back to dinner today, come with me now." ”

"No...... No need. ”

As Shen Xi's living conditions at home got better and better, and at the same time, Shen Xi's studies always pressed him, Shen Yuan began to feel inferior in front of Shen Xi's younger brother, and he wanted to go back to the place where he lived behind the school to continue to review his homework.

Shen Xi took his hand and said, "If I don't bring you back, my mother will beat me." ”

Shen Xi dragged Shen Yuan out of the classroom, but was stopped by Lin Qi as soon as he arrived at the door. Lin Qi pushed Shen Xi and asked angrily, "Hey, why are you helping this kid and want to fight?" ”

Although Lin Qi was half a head higher than Shen Xi, he didn't dare to confront Shen Xi head-on, firstly because his grandfather and father had reminded him that even if he fought with anyone, he couldn't do anything with Shen Xiaolang, and secondly, because Wang Lingzhi often played with Shen Xi, Wang Lingzhi was two years older than them, and once after coming over, he actually fought with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old student, and the kid was beaten by Wang Lingzhi so that he couldn't get up on the ground, and since then, his classmates have known that Shen Xi has a "junior brother" who fights and doesn't want to die, and whoever offends Shen Xi will not end well.

Shen Xi replied angrily: "Shen Yuan is my sixth brother, who am I helping if I don't help him?" ”

Lin Qi was counted down by a group of classmates just now, and he felt that he couldn't hold his face, and he wanted to continue to provoke, when a boy in white clothes ran in at the door of the classroom, jumping like a monkey: "Senior brother is out of school?" Let's go out and play together. "It was Wang Lingzhi who came to learn martial arts from Shen Xi at the right time.

Lin Qi was about to go up and get Shen Xi's collar, but after seeing Wang Ling, he shrank back in fright, pretending that nothing had happened, and then watched Shen Xi and the three of them leave the school.

On the way back, Wang Lingzhi told Shen Xi what he saw and heard when he went to the countryside with his father to collect land rent.

Wang Changnie has two sons, and the eldest son doesn't know when he will be able to come out of prison, so Wang Changnie not only trains Wang Lingzhi to study, but also wants his younger son to be in charge of the family business in the future.

After the eldest son was imprisoned for business, the Wang family took the initiative to give up this piece, and the family suddenly lost a lot of income. Fortunately, there are a lot of fields at home, and the land rent alone can make the Wang family eat and drink without worry.

"Senior brother, you said that you are from the countryside, when will you take me to your place?" Wang Lingzhi said with a bit of longing.

"At first glance, it looks fresh and the scenery is beautiful, but after a long time, I feel that it is boring." Shen Xi was not very energetic, and replied casually, "After all, the countryside is not as lively as the city, and it is very hard when the farming is busy. ”

Wang Lingzhi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Senior brother is still so profound, forget it, can senior brother teach me two more tricks?" Recently, I have been chivalrous and righteous, and I am very energetic in upholding justice, and there is no one who is not convinced by my lessons. ”

Although Shen Xi kept reminding Wang Lingzhi not to do anything with others, Wang Lingzhi had learned "martial arts" from Shen Xi for more than a year, how could he bear not to try his skills? So when he encountered something unfair, he taught him a lesson.

Wang Lingzhi is stout, and the ones that Shen Xi taught him are not all fancy, many of them are grappling and fighting skills with actual combat effects, which makes Wang Lingzhi only ten years old, he is already a little strong man, and three or four children who are usually twelve or thirteen years old are not his opponents at the same time.

Shen Xi naturally didn't have time to teach Wang Lingzhi martial arts, so he had to put up his senior brother's shelf and said: "The most important thing in learning martial arts is to review the past, the moves don't need to be new, as long as they are effective, you still have to practice more of the tricks I taught you before, and you can't put down the swords, guns, swords, and halberds, otherwise no matter how powerful your fists and feet are, you can't go into the white blade empty-handed every time, right?" ”

"Senior brother Gaojian, then I'll go back to practice first, and I'll come back to play with senior brother in two days."

After Wang Lingzhi finished speaking, he ran back to practice martial arts, Shen Xi couldn't help sighing, this kid is so obsessed with martial arts, he will definitely be a martial artist in the long run.

took Shen Yuan to the pharmacy, Hui Niang had not come back yet, and the Zhou family warmly greeted Shen Xi's cousin.

"Xiaolang, go to the house and get some food, Liulang looks much stronger than you, you have to eat more in the future, do you know?" Zhou said with a smile, and then asked Shen Xi to take Shen Yuan to the backyard to play.

When they arrived in the backyard, Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er were writing, and when they looked up and saw Shen Yuan following behind Shen Xi, they were obviously not very happy.

It was not the first time that Shen Yuan had come to the Shen family as a guest, because of his inferiority complex and taciturnity, he was not very good at pleasing the two little Lori, and the last time he came, he also lost a piece of the wooden tangram that Hui Niang bought for Lu Xi'er to play with.

Lu Xi'er stepped forward, crossed her waist like a little housekeeper, pouted and asked, "Stupid big man, what are you doing here?" Lin Dai couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh secretly, she didn't have to guess Shen Xi to know that Shen Yuan's nickname of "stupid big man" was given by Lin Dai.

"Xi'er, don't be rude to the sixth brother, he is a guest when he comes to the house. Dai'er, you go and bring the candied fruit that your mother bought two days ago to cushion the stomach of the sixth brother. Shen Xi said with a straight face.

Lin Dai protested dissatisfiedly: "I haven't been willing to eat it myself." ”

Shen Xi doesn't like to eat snacks, and most of the things Zhou bought back went into Lin Dai's mouth. Lin Dai was also a little picker, but when she was glared at by Shen Xi, she still turned around and opened the door and went back to her yard to get it.

Shen Xi asked Hong'er, who was drying medicinal herbs in the backyard, to bring the small bench, and after Shen Yuan sat down, the whole person looked very restrained. Although he is also very hot in his heart when he sees girls of the same age, his biggest problem is low self-esteem, Shen Xi treats him well on weekdays, and often stuffs him with some copper plates for pocket use, but Shen Yuan doesn't dare to spend it casually, so he keeps it all for Xiu Mu to give to his father and mother when he goes home.

When Lin Dai brought the candied fruit, her little mouth was already stuffed with a lot. When he arrived at Shen Yuan, he handed the box of candied fruit forward, and said softly: "Oh, let's eat." ”

Shen Xi glared at her again, took the box, and stuffed a piece into his mouth first, before smiling and letting Shen Yuan eat together.
