Chapter 42: Jia He Arrives
A few days later, in the morning, the sun was shining. In the slums, under a willow tree. Liu Sheng and an old man were playing chess: "Uncle Xue, you regret chess again."
"No, when did you cross the river? Could it be that the old decay is wrong? That's not right." Uncle Xue looked at the chessboard and was puzzled.
Liu Sheng looked at Uncle Xue opposite angrily: "Tell me, I regretted this game several times, and I won't play with you in regret."
"Sir, the old man hasn't held you accountable yet?" Uncle Xue retorted very dissatisfied.
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, and felt that there was no handle here: "What responsibility do I have?"
"Do you remember the last time you and the fatter guy came to ask the kids for help and told me something?" Uncle Xue asked dissatisfied.
Liu Sheng looked at Uncle Xue with puzzled eyes: "What words?"
"You said that next time you came to accompany me for the next day, you see how long it has been now. Young people, it's really unreliable, they will only bully us old people." Uncle Xue sighed deliberately, like a child.
If you think about it, it seems that there really is such a thing. Liu Sheng looked at Uncle Xue and smiled helplessly with an exaggerated look: "Okay, let's continue."
"Really? That's going to fall." Uncle Xue was like a child who had just stolen candy, almost overjoyed, dancing with his hands.
Liu Sheng looked at him and smiled bitterly, this person is a chess fan completely. The stinky chess products are also poor, and he was entangled by him for a moment of itchy hands that day: "Uncle Xue, it is obviously yours."
"Alright, here it is. I will never regret it, and I will definitely not regret it." Uncle Xue was in high spirits, and after he fell, he repeatedly expressed that he did not regret the move.
In terms of repentance, this person really doesn't have much self-control. Liu Sheng looked at his repeated affirmation, and remembered one thing: "Why didn't I see the children today?"
"That's right, this morning Miss Kexin and Mr. Sima went out with the children. If the old man's guess is correct, he should be able to come back in the afternoon." Uncle Xue generally thinks about how to go next, while answering questions absentmindedly.
When Liu Sheng heard Sima Zhao and Wang Kexin, he took the children away in the morning, and was a little puzzled: "They took it away in the morning?"
"Yes, you are friends. You won't be unaware of this matter, don't interrupt the old decay thinking about what to do next." Uncle Xue looked at the chessboard, picked up the chess pieces in his hand and put them down, coming and going, I don't know how many times I tried, but I couldn't make up my mind.
Liu Sheng looked at Uncle Xue's impatient appearance and laughed. Slowly said something in my heart and thought about it for a long time: "Uncle Xue, you said, if I ask Mr. Teacher." How do you feel about teaching children to read and write?"
"What, you're saying it again". Suddenly, Uncle Xue stood up, and all the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard. Obviously, I was shocked by this sentence.
Liu Sheng looked at Uncle Xue's incredulous look, and said again: "If I ask Mr. Jiaoshu to teach children to read and write, what do you think?"
"Come here, everyone, Mr. said that he wanted to ask Mr. Teacher, who specializes in teaching children to read and write." When Uncle Xue heard Liu Sheng, he became excited when he said these words again. At this time, I didn't care about any chess, and ran straight inside. Shouting while running.
A group of old people rushed out of the low houses one after another. ran to Liu Sheng's side and began to discuss.
"Sir's words are true, so that our hearts will be steady."
"Hey, I always thought about how miserable these children would be when they grew up. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to read and write now, which is a blessing that I can't take for many lifetimes."
"Who says no, it's really an eye-opener. If children can actually go to school, the future will be much brighter."
"You say that Miss Kexin is not a living bodhisattva, aren't these people like Mr. all brought through her?"
"Yes, yes, this is the Bodhisattva blessing ......."
Just when Liu Sheng wanted to get out of this group of old people, Yihun ran from a distance, and before the person arrived, he shouted: "Childe has a guest visiting."
"Who's coming?" Seeing Yi Hun running in front of him, he hurriedly asked. The old people knew that Liu Sheng was in trouble, and they didn't bother. They flashed to the side, and they were in groups of three or five, and they began to discuss.
Yi Hun gasped and waited for a while to calm down for a while: "He said that his name is Jia He and is from Jiajia Village." And with them came a great crowd."
"Jia He arrived so soon, is Brother Zhou also in the crowd?" When Liu Sheng heard Jia He's arrival, he almost jumped up excitedly.
Yihun thought about it for a while, as if he was thinking about whether there was anyone surnamed Zhou: "Childe, no one has the surname Zhou."
"Could it be that Brother Zhou has something to do and didn't come?" Liu Sheng thought about it and said to the old people around him: "Elders, the boy says goodbye."
"Sir, go slowly......" A group of people hurriedly returned the salute and greeted them.
Uncle Xue came over unhappily at this time, and looked at Liu Sheng angrily: "You kid want to slip away again?"
"There's really something going on in the house, why don't you show mercy today and let me go." Liu Sheng saw that Uncle Xue was unhappy, and hurriedly explained with a smile.
It's okay not to say it, but Uncle Xue is even more angry. For so many days, this kid doesn't know how many times he has run, and this time he can't let him run so easily: "Tell me, how many times have you lied to me, this time the old man will not let go."
"If you're going to let me go now, tomorrow I promise. There will definitely be teachers who come here to teach the children." Liu Sheng hurriedly said to Uncle Xue what he cared about the most.
When Uncle Xue heard this, his eyes lit up: "Okay, the old man will believe you once." If you can really find a teacher, you will swear that you will not regret chess from now on."
"Farewell under the next". Liu Sheng didn't dare to delay too much, and hurriedly ran to the house with Yihun.
In a shop on Xishi Pedestrian Street, next to Jia Fu stood a big man with a fat face: "Dongjia, you also saw it." Now these landlords come to make trouble every day, and now this business, how do we continue to do it."
"Why do you say they're making trouble?" Jia Fu remembered this time, and he was also angry.
Dahan looked at Jia Fu with a sad face: "Why? Just because it's their house. They see that the pedestrian street is bustling now, and their hearts are unbalanced. Trying to ask us for more rent, these snobs ......".
"If you really can't do it, you can only ask the government to come forward, I don't believe that the government can't govern them." Jia Fu was indignant, thinking about what those landlords had done during this time.
The shopkeeper of a cloth shop also came from afar: "The owner, the owner, it can't go on like this." The door is blocked by the landlords again, what should we do now?"
"The owner, the owner......" Many shopkeepers ran to Jia Fu in unison. The pedestrian street was stormy for a while. For the first time, Jafu felt the breath of impending defeat.
At this time, a guy ran over and shouted at Liu Sheng: "The big thing in the owner is not good, and all the carriages we hired today are on strike."
Jia Fu suppressed his anger and walked back and forth. Someone must be playing tricks behind this thing. You can't just fall down like this, and let others see the joke in vain: "Since you can't work, then I'll give everyone a vacation." When will this matter be resolved, and when will everyone continue to work. At the same time, during this time, I will pay everyone's salary as usual, what do you think? “。
"The proprietor is wise, and we listen to the proprietor in everything." The guys and the shopkeepers can still get paid if they don't work. There are still such good things in the world, and everyone can't believe it and cheer.
