Chapter 12 Everyday Life

Since Xia Jizu was invited to the house by the Du family's housekeeper, he didn't say what it was after he went back, maybe it was just an ordinary invitation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Why don't you invite others, but invite Xia Jizu, it's not that Xia Jizu is a scholar anyway, you must know that there are many white people in this township, and how precious a scholar is.

In Xia Yuanding's impression before, he still thought that the landlords were all evil, why was the Du family so quiet for so long!

To be honest, the Du family seems to be very powerful in Dushan Village, but in fact, they are small landlords.

Several sons of the Du family have been sent to study, and there is no shadow in the village at all.

After learning literacy day after day, Xia Yuanding's only satisfaction is that his calligraphy has made great progress, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to write words like Yan Gu and Liu Gu, not to mention the realm of the calligraphy saint "floating like a floating cloud, like a frightened dragon".

Before, I had promised a few cousins to help them find a way to deal with their grandfather, but these days I never thought that after seeing their condition getting worse and worse, finally grandpa no longer forced them, but put all his thoughts on him and Yuan Jie.

Now he and Yuan Jie have to recognize ten words a day, he is very relaxed, but he sees that Yuan Jie is very hard every day, and his hard work is admirable.

Of course, later on, you don't just have to learn words, you have to learn other things.

"Ninety-nine-eighty-one, eighty-nine-seventy-two...... Six-six-thirty-six, four-four-one-sixteen...... One three as three, one two as two, one as one. ”

That's right, when reciting the "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Song", you can imagine that it was memorized like this at the beginning, and here this is the right one.

If you memorize it from the beginning, it is really a memorization.

Don't look at this "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Song", it's really a bit difficult for Xia Yuanding, and he has to start reciting it now.

After some investigation, Xia Yuanding was finally able to go home.

On this day, he finally saw what he had always dreamed of, specifically one word, money!

When he saw his mother take out a copper coin, Xia Yuanding really wanted to grab it to see what words were written on the thing that was round on the outside and square on the inside.

He still got his wish, but his mother just asked him to take a look, and then he had to return it, really, his mother was reluctant to even pay a penny.

Looking at the words "Enlightened Tongbao" on it, Xia Yuanding reluctantly returned this money, this is the circulating copper coin of the Ning Dynasty, and it has been this "Enlightened Tongbao" since the founding of the Dynasty.

It's no wonder that Xia Li clutches every penny so tightly, and he has to rely on this small copper coin to buy daily necessities.

Of course, after living in Dushan Village for so many days, there is no place where you can use money, and all your living expenses can be solved by yourself. Eat your own food, and don't pay attention to what you drink. Tea, Xia Yuanding has only seen it at his grandfather's place, so don't think about it at home, at most drink some boiled water. The clothes they wore were all woven by themselves, and the cloth at home was to be taken out and sold. Of course, salt still has to be bought, and it costs money to make wine, and it costs even more money to invite Langzhong.

Since seeing Xia Yingxue's power, Xia Yuanding decided not to offend this sister and to please her. There is an opportunity right in front of me, and it will be my sister's birthday in two days. At that time, my mother will fry a vegetable at most, and then cook an egg for my sister, which will be considered a celebration. The conditions are difficult, so you can't be too particular, maybe when she is older, she may give some of her daughter's family.

Xia Yuanding is not a person who sees money, he just wants to make a shuttlecock and give it to his sister as a birthday gift, doesn't this need copper coins as a foundation?

But Xia Yuanding realized his mistake and used copper coins as a base, which was too extravagant, and later he still found a way to find a small piece of iron.

As for the sewing work, it was still handed over to the mother, and after three strokes and two strokes, the mother sewed the shuttlecock according to his requirements.

Probably the most injured are his chickens, and he has to pluck a few feathers from them.

Knowing that after seeing the finished shuttlecock, Xia Yuanding put it away with satisfaction.

Xia Yingxue knew that it was her birthday today, and she was very happy to see that her mother had specially made a dish for her, fried radish, and an egg, and she really hoped that she could celebrate her birthday every day.

Just think about it, if this is the case, her family has to go bankrupt.

This can be called a birthday party, a happy day, Xia Shouzhi should drink some wine, but I'm sorry, he has already drunk the wine last time, and it seems that he can only come back with some wine when he goes to the market.

"Sister!" Xia Yuanding smiled and shouted,

"What for?" Xia Yingxue responded.

"You close your eyes, I'm going to give you a birthday present?"

"What's a birthday present?" Xia Yingxue asked strangely, she had a birthday, but she had never heard of birthday gifts.

"You close your eyes first, I say open them and you just open them again!" Xia Yuanding said.

"Well, you're not allowed to lie to me, when I open my eyes, don't run away!" Xia Yingxue closed her eyes suspiciously, but she still suspected that her brother was deliberately playing.

"Alright, open your eyes!" Xia Yuanding took out the shuttlecock and put it in front of his sister's eyes.

"What is this, with chicken feathers on it?" After receiving the gift, Xia Yingxue had never seen what the shuttlecock was, so she took it in her hand curiously and touched it again and again.

It seems that he still has to teach it himself, took the shuttlecock, posed, and said, "Look, I'll play it for you!" ”

One, two, three, four, the shuttlecock fell to the ground, and Xia Yuanding's level of kicking the shuttlecock was really bad.

Although it was very bad, but his personal demonstration had an effect, Xia Yingxue ran to pick up the shuttlecock, her face was already happy, she blew the dust on it, and said: "It turns out that it is played like this, yes, I'll try it!" ”

Saying that, Xia Yingxue kicked up, and Xia Yuanding was next to her to help her count, one, two, three...... Ten, eleven, twelve, don't count, it seems that this gift really suits my sister.

With a gadget, my sister can also have toys to pass the time when she is alone, and she will relax her attention to him, thinking of this, Xia Yuanding feels beautiful.

After saving enough jelly beans and food in his hand, Xia Yuanding began to put another thing on the agenda. On the day of rest, Xia Yuanding picked up the hemp rope and began to go to the meeting alone, the destination, the children's paradise, the barley field, to save these children who played monotonously. All that was used was a piece of hemp rope.

A group of seven or eight-year-old children who were still wrestling in the wheat field saw Xia Yuanding from a distance and rushed over in high spirits. Although Xia Yuanding's green cloth is coarse, it is also a child's bun, but his whole body is clean, I don't know how much better than this group of people.

"Xia Yuanding is here again, everyone stop!" They were looking forward to it, and the jelly beans last time gave them a sweet dream.

"Xia Yuanding, do you have jelly beans?" Someone shouted.

Of course, Xia Yuanding would not answer such a rude question, he just took out a jelly bean from his pocket, threw it lightly into the sky with his hand, and then caught it with his mouth facing up, is this action very fan.

"Hahaha, that's stupid!" There was no admiring gaze, but ridicule.

Of course Xia Yuanding knew the reason, he lowered his head and looked at the jelly bean that fell at his feet, bent down expressionlessly, picked up the jelly bean, blew the dirty place, and slowly put it to his mouth, wanting to eat it.

Everyone else present was staring at Xia Yuanding's movements, some of them had already swallowed saliva in their throats, their eyes were complicated, eager and disappointed.

Suddenly, Xia Yuanding stopped his movements and said to them: "This one is a little dirty, I don't want to eat it, so I'd better throw it away!" ”

"If you don't eat it, give it to us, we don't dislike it!" Xia Yuanding's words received an enthusiastic response.

In the end, this jelly bean was sent out by Xia Yuanding, how they divided it was their business, and the little jelly bean would never fight just to eat it.

Compared with the first time he first arrived, this time he was very smooth, under his command and arrangement, everything was just in order, yes, Xia Yuanding was promoting a sport called skipping rope, the two of them were thrown at both ends, and someone jumped in the middle. It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic and quickly becomes a collective.

When he went back, looking at the somewhat worn hemp rope, Xia Yuanding knew that he was afraid that he was playing with fire again this time, although he hadn't burned himself yet, but could he run away?

At this moment, home is like a flame, and he is a moth, and the flame is quietly there, waiting for the moth to pounce on itself!
