Although there were fish in the wooden basin, Xia Yuanding knew that he couldn't eat fish at dinner, and these fish were really not blessed, and they couldn't enter his golden mouth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Taking advantage of his wife's cooking, Xia Shouzhi was going to give the fish to his father and a few brothers.

"Dad, I'll go with you to deliver fish to grandpa!" Xia Yuanding said this, I don't know what kind of tricks he has.

"It's so late, don't go!" Xia Shouzhi didn't want to take his son with him, how slow his little arms and legs were, he came back in three steps and two steps, and it was a bit cumbersome to take him with him.

"I forgot how to write a word, I want to ask grandpa!" Xia Yuanding has his own way, and he is not afraid that his father will not agree.

"You kid!" Just look at the expression, Xia Shouzhi is happy to take him this time, learning is really a powerful reason.

"Then you should hurry up and take Ding'er with you, go and come back quickly, and wait for you to come back for dinner!"

"Okay! Yuan Ding, follow Dad! Carrying the fish, Xia Shouzhi took Yuan Ding out.

Xia Yingxue whispered a "hum", this unexplained humming must have a reason.

"Yingxue, come here to help my mother!"

"Got it, come on!"

The bright moon hangs high, the moonlight reflects the shadows of two people, one big and one small, the father and son talk from time to time, but Xia Yuanding has become a chatter, asking questions from time to time, from geography to humanities to customs, some questions Xia Shouzhi can't answer. Of course, there are also small problems, such as how many acres of land the family has, how much tax to pay in a year.

Through these questions and answers, Xia Yuanding learned that his family had 20 acres of Yongye field, 20 acres of mulberry field, and 80 acres of Koufen field.

When I first knew, he wanted so much land, why was his family still so poor. Later, I realized that except for 20 acres of mulberry fields, the remaining 100 acres could not be intensively cultivated, let alone planted all of them, and they had to rest in rotation to let a part of the land recuperate.

Besides, there is still a difference between the mu here and the mu he understands, the area is much smaller, so it seems that the output is not much, and he has to pay a lot of taxes, and there is no other income, so he is poor.

first went to Xia Yuanding's uncle's house, and finally went to his grandfather's house.

"It's here!"

When I looked up, I went to my grandfather's house.

"Dad, I'm Shouzhi!" Xia Shouzhi began to knock on the door of the courtyard, this is a big wooden door, different from the wooden fence door of his house, how to say that Xia Jizu is also a scholar, so he can't make it too shabby.

"Why did Shouzhi come here so late, is there something wrong?"

"Mother, dad didn't sleep!" As soon as he looked at the person who opened the door, Xia Shouzhi asked.

"No, why did you bring Yuan Ding here!"

"Grandma, I'm coming to Grandpa!" Xia Yuanding shouted.

"Hey, okay, come in, why do you still bring fish here, there is nothing missing at home, you can bring it back!" As soon as Xia Shouzhi handed her the fish, she didn't want to accept it.

"If you don't accept it, I can't go back!"

Xia Shouzhi's mother still accepted the fish, and Shouzhi was the most filial among the sons.

"Dad, you haven't slept yet!"

"Shouzhi, sit down!" Xia Jizu had just eaten dinner and was planning to practice calligraphy.

"Dad, Yuan Ding said he wanted to see you, so he brought it over!" Xia Shouzhi told the truth.

At this time, Xia Yuanding was standing next to the chair, alas, the child was so sad that he didn't even have a seat.

"Yuan Ding, but what's the problem with your studies, can't you forget the words you were taught?" Xia Jizu looked at Xia Yuanding and said with some enthusiasm.

Xia Yuanding hurriedly told his grandfather that he had forgotten how to distinguish between the words "has" and "self".

Xia Jizu was very happy with his grandson's learning attitude, so he answered him very seriously, and after knowing that Xia Yuanding had a completely understanding expression, he gave up.

"Dad, then I'll go back with Yuan Ding, you can rest early!" Xia Shouzhi was very happy with his son's spirit of asking if he didn't understand.

On the way back, he actually lifted Xia Yuanding with both hands, enlarged his neck, and sang and sang along the way home.

"How's that, it's all delivered!" After a while, Xia Li asked while greeting him to eat.

"Look!" As he spoke, Xia Shouzhi made a gesture of stretching out his arms, signaling that his hands were empty.

"Alright, let's all sit down and eat!"

Xia Yuanding was hungry for a long time, and whether it was pickles and cabbage or something, he ate it with mixed noodles, as well as porridge, and devoured it.

"Eat slowly, there's more!" Xia Yuanding listened to his mother nagging beside him, but he felt very satisfied.

"Tomorrow is the day when Aunt Zhu's daughter-in-law officially passes the door, but my father has already written down the things he needs, don't go to the wedding banquet, and you have to cook for the children at home!"

What the? What's going on, I can't go to eat for a happy event, Xia Yuanding is a little sad.

Don't blame those who don't know, if you think about people's happy events, every family takes out something to make a congratulatory gift, and the number of people who go must be controlled, otherwise they will not be able to eat poor!

This is what Xia Yuanding didn't expect, this is not as big as the landlord's family, small households, diligence and thrift are virtues.

"Tomorrow's marriage, will you go and see?" After turning off the lights, Xia Yuanding asked.

"Of course I went, but it was lively, and I would set off firecrackers!" Xia Yingxue is very eager for tomorrow's lively scene.

"What's so good to see, and nothing to eat!" Xia Yuanding said disdainfully.

"Of course you can't go, because you have to go to your grandfather's house tomorrow to study, and if you don't study hard, you will be beaten, I heard that the second and fourth brothers were beaten with rattan!" Xia Yingxue narrowed her eyes happily.

"I hope I can dream of a table full of people!" Before going to bed, Xia Yuanding thought to himself.

The next day, Xia Shouzhi still personally sent his son to his grandfather's house, although every time Xia Yuanding said that he could go alone.

"These children will stay here to eat at noon, don't prepare for noon, let's go!"

The Xia Shouzhi brothers all shook their heads with a smile, didn't say anything, and went to work on their own affairs.

Obviously, at this stage, Xia Jizu's teaching plan has changed, adding two words every day, four words in the morning and four words in the afternoon.

When this decision was spoken, Yuan De and Yuan Ming felt that it was a cloudy sky, and a flock of crows flew overhead.

"Have you considered your grandson's feelings?" Xia Yuanding's cousins didn't dare to say this sentence in his heart.

The teaching process is boring and tedious, so when a bird flies by inadvertently, someone is distracted!

"Yuan Ming, do you see clearly?"

"See clearly, it's a thrush!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

Still looking around, don't you know that a catastrophe is coming? As a result, after three strokes of his palm, Xia Yuanming was completely honest, and he didn't dare to apply when he went to the toilet to rest.

Although Xia Jizu has increased the number of words he can recognize every day, this is exactly what Xia Yuanding is happy to see, if possible, he hopes to recognize thirty or fifty words a day, this kind of thinking is too rebellious, eight is eight!

But this morning, even the smartest Yuan Jie was a little struggling, I don't understand what grandpa thinks, is this the law of survival of the fittest, but if it is not clear who is strong and who is not clear at a glance, is it necessary to continue to fight his cousins?

After a while, Xia Yuanding still maintained the fastest speed, and after stumbling to end a morning's study, except for Xia Yuanding and Xia Yuanjie, the other three couldn't remember so many words, Xia Yuande was pushed out to negotiate with his grandfather, hoping to reduce the number of words recognized every day, it is best to learn four words a day, and it is really impossible to make do with six.

When grandma went to cook, Xia Yuande walked to his grandfather who was reading a book with small steps, and said uneasily: "Grandpa, look, you teach so much, the grandchildren can't remember it, and the grandchildren think, can you learn less every day?" ”

As Xia Yuande's words came out, Yuan Ming and Yuan Chu, who were helping on the side, nodded yes, hoping to win first in terms of momentum.

Xia Jizu's gaze swept over these grandsons one by one, and put the book on his lap, as if he was seriously thinking about Yuande's proposal.

This short period of time must have been depressing for Yuande, and the result was also tragic!

"Get down on your knees!"

The sky is falling, Xia Yuande knows that the negotiations have broken down, and he doesn't hesitate, hurry up and kneel!

"Look at you, as a brother, you can't lead by example, Yuan Jie and Yuan Ding can remember, why can't you remember?" Xia Jizu asked.

For this question, the three kneeling brothers actually have a unified answer, but they can't say it, do they honestly admit that they are stupid, and they can't do their own slap in the face.

"Although grandpa knows that your qualifications are not as good as your two younger brothers, you must know that diligence can make up for your shortcomings, why are you still unwilling to improve!"

Grandpa said what was in their hearts, and they all admitted that their qualifications were a little worse, but when they were criticized in person, they still blushed, and for the first time they felt ashamed.

"You guys give me a good kneel to reflect, and I'm not allowed to get up until it's time to eat!"

Xia Yuanding and Xia Yuanjie looked at each other, not knowing if they should accompany these cousins, if they were there, they seemed to be watching them make a fool of themselves, and if they left, it would seem unrighteous.
