Liu Xuan was surprised on the side, he knew very well what twenty-five yuan meant to a family like Li Tao, it was all their property.

He kindly reminded Yuan: "Mrs. Li, are you going to give the money to Li Xiaolangjun like this?" ”

"Yes!"

"Why?" Liu Xuan was puzzled by Yuan's generosity.

"Because Tao'er is my son!"

When Liu Xuan heard this, what kind of reason is this? He then persuaded: "Li Xiaolangjun is just a child, what if this ......"

"Money doesn't matter, the important thing is that I trust him!" Yuan was happily stubborn.

Liu Xuan was completely defeated by this girl, so he had to stop talking.

"Iron pots, stoves, chopsticks, bamboo sticks, spices, well, and advertising leaflets......" Li Tao muttered. He said to his mother with a happy face: "Ah Niang, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and I will ...... tomorrow."

Halfway through speaking, Li Tao suddenly shut up and stood stunned on the spot.

Seeing Li Tao like this, the Yuan family was shocked, and hurriedly came over and squatted down and hugged Li Tao: "Tao'er, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Looking at Yuan's anxious appearance, Li Tao realized that he was scared of A-Niang. He forced a smile and said, "Auntie, it's okay, Tao'er is playing with you!" ”

Yuan's pinched Li Tao's face in disgust: "I'm scared to death!" ”

Li Tao broke free from his mother's arms, and walked around the courtyard with his head bowed as if nothing had happened, but he kept thinking in his heart.

Li Tao scratched his head a little, but he forgot one thing after all the calculations: they were refugees, and it didn't hurt to be at home. But if you go to the county seat to buy things, advertise and other things that come out of nowhere, maybe there will be big trouble. Just now has a place to stay, how dare Li Tao take this risk again.

What can I do? Li Tao didn't want his plan to die halfway, so he thought about it for a long time.

Liu Xuan has been watching Li Tao's every move coldly. At first, he was shocked when he saw Li Tao, thinking that he was going to play some tricks again. But later, Li Tao comforted A-Niang, and Liu Xuan clearly saw that he was pretending to be smiling. At this moment, Li Tao was strolling around the courtyard with nothing to do, and Liu Xuan read a trace of anxiety and irritability from his expression.

Liu Xuan's gaze followed Li Tao's figure back and forth, and just when Liu Xuan was in doubt, Li Tao suddenly stopped, and he set his eyes on Liu Xuan. Locking, looking, thinking, and cunning, Li Tao's gaze is constantly changing.

Liu Xuan was chilled by Li Tao's eyes, he was on high alert, ready to deal with Li Tao's moves at any time.

"Old Master Liu, I want to ask you a question, can you see it?" Li Tao showed an innocent smile.

Seeing that Liu Xuan didn't answer, Li Tao just looked at him vigilantly, and didn't care, and continued to ask: "Old Master Liu, what is your monthly salary in the private school?" ”

"Why are you asking this?" Liu Xuanhu said suspiciously.

"Just asking, how? Master, is it inconvenient to say? ”

"Ten dollars!" Liu Xuan said casually.

"Ten pieces of money! Old Master, how about a discussion? Li Tao continued to look at Liu Xuan with a smile.

"What are you discussing?" Liu Xuan didn't dare to relax his guard at all.

"You quit your private school errand, I ask you to work for me, how about giving you twenty yuan a month?" Li Tao finally said his thoughts.

Liu Xuan didn't expect Li Tao to fight this idea, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

After hearing this, Yuan and Pei Yue also "sighed" in their hearts: This is bad.

That's right, Li Tao really wants to hire Liu Xuan. Since he, A-Niang, and Uncle Yue can't show up, they must find someone who can show up. Li Tao didn't know anyone else, although he and Liu Xuan were not very familiar, but they knew each other. Besides, Liu Xuan is in his fifties, and it is relatively safe to keep at home. The most important thing is that Liu Xuan is literate and quite knowledgeable. It is really difficult to find a literate person in the countryside these days, many of Li Tao's intentions and ideas come from later generations, and it is very difficult to understand without culture, and it is impossible to achieve the results that Li Tao wants. Of course, he wouldn't tell Liu Xuan these thoughts. Li Tao believes that people will have weaknesses, as long as they find Liu Xuan's weaknesses and prescribe the right medicine, they can basically be sure that Liu Xuan will become his own employee in the near future.

Li Tao saw that Liu Xuan didn't react, so he began to increase the weight again: "How about thirty times a month?" ”

The bitterness on Liu Xuan's face became even stronger: Is he short of money? I was actually bargained for by a small child.

Seeing that Liu Xuan was unmoved, Li Tao realized that Mr. Liu didn't seem to be uninterested in money. So what is Liu Xuan interested in? Li Tao thought for a while, and he felt that since Liu Xuan was a literati, he should be interested in learning.

So, Li Tao changed the topic again: "Old man, I have a lot of knowledge here that you don't know, I hired you to work for me, and then I handed over this knowledge to you, how about it?" ”

Liu Xuan pursed his lips and said in his heart: Although you have some ability, you are still a little tender when you teach me questions.

Li Tao saw Liu Xuan's expression and knew that he didn't believe it, it seemed that he had to show his hand first.

"Old Master Liu, if you don't believe it, can you verify it!" Li Tao proposed.

"Okay, Li Xiaolangjun, how to verify?" Liu Xuan was unconvinced.

While doing embroidery, Yuan Shi watched with interest as the two of them were arguing back and forth.

"Old Master Liu, do you know Liu Yuxi's "Burrowing Chamber"?" Li Tao asked.

Liu Xuan rolled his eyes, did he ask such a question? How could I not know Liu Yuxi's "Burrow".

"Can Old Master Liu write it down?" Li Tao handed over a wooden stick.

Liu Xuan was not polite, took the wooden stick and wrote on the ground. After a while, the eighty-one words of "The Burrow" appeared in front of Li Tao's eyes. Li Tao looked at the vigorous and powerful words on the ground, and nodded secretly: He is worthy of being Mr. Private School, and he has written a good hand.

"Old Master Liu, you have a good look!"

After that, Li Tao also held a wooden stick and began to write something between the lines of Liu Xuan's words. After a while, Li Tao threw the wooden stick aside and clapped his hands: "It's done!" ”

Liu Xuan watched Li Tao add many symbols to the back of his words, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

"It's punctuation! Oh, that's just a sentence to read! ”

Li Tao explained to Liu Xuan one by one: "Look, this is a comma, indicating that the meaning of a sentence is not finished." This is a full stop, which means that a sentence is finished. This is an exclamation mark, which indicates emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. This is a question mark......"

Li Tao's words were concise and clear, and Liu Xuan quickly understood. As a literati, he knew very well that Li Tao's punctuation marks were indeed very practical, and if they could be popularized, they would have epoch-making significance. Liu Xuan's current feeling towards Li Tao can no longer be described as just interested, he feels that Li Tao is like an inexhaustible treasure, which will always bring him many freshness and surprises.
