Chapter 12 The power of a family to support one person
The next morning, Sun Yue woke up from a rare sleep, and when he opened his eyes, Lao Cao's family had already reconciled the noodles, and the big oily yellow dough was lying quietly on the board, just waiting to open the door at any time to welcome guests.
Sun Yue washed his hands and wanted to help, but was stopped by Lao Cao, "Don't get started, eldest nephew, let's just do the work of the cook, you have been praised by the official, you will be a husband in the future, go to Wenshu, don't delay your study." ”
Sun Yue was naturally embarrassed, and rolled up her arms and sleeves to help a little, but was pushed out by Cao Nier: "Go, go, don't make a mess, you won't meet at all, write your broken words." ”
Sun Chunming thought for a while and said: "Go, it's still important to study, remember your friendship with Uncle Cao, if you can get ahead in the future, don't forget to repay it." ”
Lao Cao smiled and said: "Brother, I see that your hands are also thin skin and tender meat, you must have never done any work, I think you are also a scholar, or you can rest, this is me and Nier, enough." ”
Sun Chunming shook his head with a smile and said: "Born in troubled times, a scholar like me is the most useless, the child has a good life, and he has caught up with the Taiping world, I don't have that blessing, I was delayed for a while, and now I will study again, it's too late." ”
Just kidding, the cost of reading alone is big enough, if two people study together, can this small shop afford it, not to mention, after a long time, can Lao Cao have no opinion? Both children are working, and even his wife is cleaning up the housework, how can he be too lazy.
Sun Yue returned to the back room, spread out the paper, found a book of Analects and began to copy, so that practicing calligraphy and memorizing are not wrong, that is, this character is not small, or waste paper, and after practicing for a day, you have to pay for pen, ink and paper.
After a while, the family opened to sell noodles, and the rest of the people were busy with their work, and he was the only one who practiced calligraphy in the next room, which made him feel very guilty, but he had to shake his head, expel such strange thoughts, and force himself to concentrate on the book.
When the morning finally passed, Sun Yue hurriedly ran over and said, "Dad, let's go talk about cross talk." ”
Sun Chunming shook his head and said: "Don't talk about cross talk, I will change to stand-up storytelling in the future, you can study it steadily." ”
Sun Yue hurriedly said: "But I'm tired of learning!" I've copied that Analect three times. ”
"If you're tired of learning, I'll go play with the army, and I'll buy you a copy of Spring and Autumn when I get back."
The army is Lao Cao, a child who is the same age as his biological age, called Cao Jun, when Lao Cao gave birth to him, he probably wanted him to be a soldier, and when he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he came over, he had long wanted to play with Sun Yue, but he never dared to disturb him to study.
Sun Yue's eyes were a little wet, and he wiped them and said, "No, I'm going to practice calligraphy, and the paper at home is not enough, so I'll go buy some paper first." ”
Lao Cao said: "Don't go, let Nier go." ”
"Oh."
Cao Nier reluctantly responded, took the money, and went to buy paper for Sun Yue.
Sun Yue sighed, poured a bowl of water for Cao's mother, waited for her to drink, and sat on the bed alone and became sullen.
Cao Jun came over and said, "Brother Sun, I don't think you're very happy, you don't have to work, why aren't you happy." ”
Sun Yue smiled bitterly: "It's because I don't want to work that I'm not happy, you are still young, you don't understand." By the way, do you want to be literate? ”
Cao Jun shook his head and said, "I don't want to, my father said that I am not that material." ”
"So what do you want to do in the future?"
"I want to be a soldier in the future, and I will have food to eat as a soldier, and I will protect you when the Khitans come."
Cao's mother interjected: "It's really my good grandson, ambitious." ”
Sun Yue can only smile bitterly, among the three hundred and sixty lines of the Northern Song Dynasty, the worst is to be a soldier, but this can't be said, they have all experienced the great pain of the five generations of war, I am afraid that only the two of them in the whole world really believe that the prosperity is coming, even if it is Zhao Kuangyin himself, does he dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he will not be the sixth of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms?
But it's still okay to be tempted, so he said: "If you want to be a soldier, you have to wait for at least ten years until you grow up, so what do you want to do in the next ten years." ”
Cao Jun bit his lip and thought for a while when he heard this: "I don't know, but I see that you say that cross talk makes a lot of money, and it seems to be quite interesting, if you don't say it in the future, why don't you change me to tell Uncle Sun." ”
Sun Yue smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll teach you when I'm free, in fact, my father and I are not professionals, I've only heard it before, just learn a few jokes and think about it slowly." ”
"Hmm."
While she was talking, Cao Nier came back, holding a thick piece of paper in her hand, and bought a box of ink by the way, and put it in front of Sun Yue, "Oh, your paper." ”
"There is Sister Lao, Sister is willing to consciousness words? I can teach you. ”
"Don't don't, don't, there is always a lot of paper like this, I can't afford to learn, Master Sun learn, I'm going to help with the work."
Before leaving, he pulled Cao Jun's head and said, "Let's go, why do you want to study, you can't afford to support two scholars at home." ”
"Oh."
This little stumbling stumbled like a knife into his heart, and Sun Yue was still irrefutable.
Cao's mother said on the side: "My grandson is not as knowledgeable as her, and the woman has never seen the world." ”
Saying that, the old lady didn't know where to get an orange out, now it's just spring, the fruit is a very fresh thing, but yesterday I happily bought a filial old lady, but I don't want her to eat it at all.
"Come, eat quickly, don't let your father and Uncle Cao see it."
"Auntie, this is a filial piety to you, why didn't you eat."
"The old thing is old, and there is no taste of any good things in your mouth, but you don't dare to spoil it, you study and waste your brain, and make up for it."
As he spoke, he peeled off the oranges and stuffed them into Sun Yue's mouth one by one.
"Isn't it delicious?"
The oranges in this season are all stored in the cellar in advance in Huainan, where can they be delicious, and it is estimated that no one wants to give them away in the future, but Sun Yue also smiled and said: "It's delicious, it's sweet, and the eldest mother also eats it." ”
"I don't eat it, you do."
Cao's mother didn't follow, and insisted on stuffing them all to Sun Yue, until the whole orange was eaten, and her mouth was full of sour and bitter tastes, Sun Yue said: "I'm full, Wen Shu went." ”
Back to the house, spread out the paper, polish the ink, Sun Yue took a deep breath, the inferior ink has an unpleasant smell, at this time I don't feel disgusted, outside, a large group of rough men who listen to the book are very noisy, he doesn't feel disturbed, and he wrote the Analects on the yellow paper fiercely: Standing up is based on learning, and learning is based on reading.
Secret Dao: Lao Tzu was able to get even 985 in his last life, so he didn't believe that he couldn't get the top prize in this life.
