Chapter 9: Rain at the Door

Fortunately, grandma's lunch was not slow, but the meal was a bit deserted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Grandma's skills in making fish are really high, Xia Yuanding eats very fragrantly, and it is even more rare that no one robs him of this meal, so he is very full.

In the afternoon, I went home from school, out of my grandfather's yard, Xia Yuan grabbed Xia Yuanding's arm, and decided that a few brothers should find a place to have a meeting.

In a place where children often play, Xia Yuande drove away a few children who disturbed their plans, and the meeting began.

Xia Yuande said first: "Little five and six, my brother will discuss it with you, you don't think it's feasible!" ”

After receiving Xia Yuande's eyes, Xia Yuanming took the words and said with a smile: "You two, next time grandpa teaches you again, you don't have to learn so fast, so that grandpa can reduce the number of words he can read!" ”

Before Xia Yuanding and Xia Yuanjie could speak, Xia Yuanchu began to play the side drum again: "Yes, you see that a few of us have been kneeling for a long time, and our knees are sore, please be considerate of my brothers!" ”

Yuan Jie didn't know how to speak, so he looked at Xia Yuanding, hoping that the other party would have an idea.

Xia Yuanding was a little entangled, he wanted to speed up his literacy, but he didn't want to offend these cousins, what should he do!

As soon as he looked up, a few crows flew by, and Xia Yuanding thought that if he couldn't solve it, he wouldn't have bad luck, so he quickly turned his brain.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yuanding said: "Our literacy speed grandpa knows, and if it suddenly slows down, it must not be able to escape grandpa's eyes, this method is not very feasible!" ”

"What, Yuan Ding, you don't want to say that!" As soon as he heard this, Xia Yuande was a little anxious and interrupted Xia Yuanding's words.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Xia Yuanding hurriedly asked the excited second brother to sit down, let him finish his words, moisten his throat, Xia Yuanding continued, "I mean I need time, give me some time to think of a best of both worlds, you can bear with it during this time!" ”

"Give you a three-day deadline, if you can do it, you can still be an obedient little sixth son, and if you can't do it, you must do it!" Bullying his friends, Xia Yuande has always used violence to counter violence, but his own brother is not good at using force.

"Second brother, don't worry, you have to believe in my discipline!"

"What is the festival?" Xia Yuanming really had never heard such a high-end word.

"It's the distance of sprinkling water!" Xia Yuanding said euphemistically.

"Oh......" The cousins nodded, and it seemed they understood.

After all, they didn't directly refuse, they all said that they would find a way for them, what else could they do, and the negotiations ended up.

After the separation, Xia Yuande and the brothers went home, and on the way Xia Yuanming asked: "Brother, do you say that Yuanding will help us!" ”

Xia Yuande replied in a sullen voice: "How do I know, they all say that Xiaoliu has a smart brain, not at all like Yuan Jie is easy to fool, when the time comes, I will play less these days, and when I go back, I will look at the words taught by my grandfather, and strive not to be punished by my grandfather!" ”

Xia Yuanming didn't believe it, and said: "In the last game, it was indeed the farthest he urinated, but my brother can't believe it all!" ”

As the sun sets, the two are moving towards a great goal.

"On the banyan tree by the pond, I know that I can't stop screaming......"

Singing a cheerful song, Xia Yuanding quickly ran home, and the villagers who heard his singing were thinking about what he was singing, it was terrible!

Seeing Xia Yuanding go home, my sister was finally able to find someone to talk to.

"Yuan Ding, you don't know, Second Uncle Zhu's daughter-in-law is wearing a beautiful wedding dress today, you heard that the wedding procession playing suona and beating the drum is spectacular, and there are some things I don't know, but the people are too crowded!" Xia Yingxue is still recalling the scene at that time.

"Oh...... by the way, grandpa taught me eight words today, I learned them all, now I'm going to review them!"

Xia Yuanding spread out the white paper in his hand, and looked at the words he wrote, although it was still crooked, it was much stronger than others.

"Do you have to memorize so many words at once?"

"If you don't learn a little, when will you be able to read all the words!" Xia Yuanding said with some emotion.

"Then you can teach me now, or I may not remember!" Until now, Xia Yingxue didn't understand what literacy meant to her, maybe it was just a thought, which became a passive habit.

"Ding'er, what are you doing!" The mother, who had just gone out and returned, saw the siblings squatting on the ground writing and drawing, so she asked curiously.

"Mother, I'm teaching my sister to read!" Xia Yuanding hurriedly said.

"In this way, you have learned everything, and you can teach your sister to read?"

It seems that Xia Li does not have an opinion on girls learning to read and write, but has doubts about whether he can teach and his teaching ability.

"Of course I can, don't believe it, mother, you ask my sister, I will teach her!"

"Yingxue, really?"

"Hmm!"

Then, my sister wrote a few words on the ground that she knew.

"What's that?" Mother asked, pointing to a word.

"This is the word 'mountain', the 'mountain' of Cuiping Mountain!" Xia Yingxue replied.

"It turns out that this is the mountain, it looks really like, Yingxue, you just follow your brother to learn hard, my mother will cook!"

Taking advantage of this time, Xia Yuanding first taught his sister four words, and he planned to teach her the rest after eating.

I was asleep at night, but I was woken up by my sister.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Yuanding slept very well, and he was suddenly woken up and didn't know what was going on. Then he saw two more people in the dimly lit room, his mother holding an oil lamp, and his father holding a wooden basin in both hands above him.

If you don't understand it yet, then the next thunder will make you understand everything, at this time it has already been pouring down, and their thatched huts are leaking rain, and it is rare to sleep so soundly. However, seeing that his parents were guarding him, he felt very relieved, and his home was indeed a warm harbor.

This spring rain is what farmers have been looking forward to for a long time, and with this rain, the crops can grow well, how can it not be exciting. But at this time, let's solve this sleeping problem first.

In this case, Xia Yuanding can only watch from the side, and everything has to rely on his father. The quilt or something was quickly taken away, and then a wooden bucket was put in the leaky place to catch the water. Fortunately, there are two leaky places in the house, and two wooden barrels are enough, otherwise if you use a wooden basin, the raindrops will definitely splash out.

Eventually, the siblings went to sleep in the bed of their parents in the east room, and his parents had to lay straw mats on the floor for the rest of the night.

Listening to the ticking sound of water dripping in the wooden barrel, Xia Yuanding fell asleep again, until he woke up in the morning, the rain had not stopped, although it was sparse, but the ripples that fell on the water beach were always one after another.

Xia Yuanding thought to himself, this rain seems to be a bit excessive, it is really unpredictable whether it is a blessing or a curse, a moderate amount of rain is a good thing, and too much is not beautiful.

Seeing that the rain is still falling, he won't go to his grandfather's house today, but he can't go out when it's raining too.

After eating, he knew that he was wrong, Xia Shouzhi put on a robe, brought an oil-paper umbrella, and said: "I'll send Yuan Ding over first, if someone comes during this period, just say I'll be back in a while!" ”

It's really an inspirational story to go to school when it rains, but it's not of his own volition, he doesn't want to go.

Xia Yuanding was held by his father, with an oil-paper umbrella propped up above his head, facing the rain and braving the wind, wanting to walk to the legendary Xia Family School.

Sure enough, after I went, the two cousins of the second uncle's family didn't come. At this time, the only poor student Yuan Chu was very embarrassed, and he didn't know if his grandfather would take special care of him at that time, so he could only ask the gods and Buddhas for their blessing.

Maybe it was his request that worked, and the light was dark on a rainy day, Xia Jizu didn't plan to teach literacy today, but began to tell the story.

Although they are all small stories that persuade people to make progress and tell faith and harmony, they all listen to them with relish. It seems that no matter where you are, there are some things that are a common pursuit, and the road is the same end.

If grandpa can teach stories like this every day, the effect must be excellent.

At noon, the old man let the tiger return to the mountain, and Xia Yuanding was free in the afternoon, but he couldn't go anywhere, and he had to guard the leaky house.

Taking Xia Yuanding home, Xia Shouzhi hurriedly went out again, and even ate a few bites of food in a hurry.

"Mother, what is Dad doing?" Looking at his father's hurried back in the rain, Xia Yuanding asked.

"It's raining too hard, your dad went to watch the crops in the field!"

The government does not go to the countryside, and everything in the township is managed by the scholars, landlords, etc., and early in the morning, Xia Shouzhi was summoned by the village to deal with various situations that may occur when the rain is heavy.

The wind and rain were blowing, and the road was muddy, Xia Yuanding took a small stool, sat in the hall and looked at the drizzle outside the door, and his thoughts drifted away all of a sudden.
