Chapter 9: Reflections on Reading
Zhao Fei left the village chief's house and did not go home directly, but went straight to Zhao Feng's house. After all, he went for a long time, and he didn't go back to say anything to Zhao Fei, and I don't know how Zhao Feng would feel. So it is necessary to explain to Zhao Feng.
came to Zhao Feng's courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door, and found that Zhao Feng was standing motionless in the courtyard with his eyes closed.
Zhao Fei was very curious and was about to ask a question. I found that Zhao Feng had opened his eyes.
Seeing Zhao Fei coming in, Zhao Feng asked in the first sentence, "Oh? It's Xiaofei, how's it going? Did the village chief take you in? I've been missing you for so long, and that's good news. Seeing Zhao Feng's nervous expression, his concern was beyond words.
Feeling Zhao Feng's strong care, Zhao Fei grinned, and then touched the back of his head with his right hand. He nodded and said, "Brother Lao has to worry about it." The village chief had promised to take me as an apprentice and had been teaching me all morning. I also feel that I have benefited a lot. ”
Hearing that the village chief was willing to teach Zhao Fei, Zhao Feng was indeed very happy in his heart, but he was also a little disappointed. Then he patted Zhao Fei on the shoulder and said, "This is very good, Xiaofei, you can learn from the village chief well, and you won't be here with me from now on." ”
Hearing Zhao Feng say this, Zhao Fei hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can that work." I will continue to follow you to exercise. And the teacher also told me that a gentleman has six arts, including archery and royalty. If you don't have a good body, how can you achieve anything? So I still came, and the teacher had promised me to get up early every day to go to him and study, and he would teach me. And I'll work out with you after lunch. So Brother Feng, you still have to be busy. Don't blame me for disturbing you, Brother Feng. Zhao Fei blinked and looked at Zhao Fei with a smile.
"What's this" Zhao Feng waved his hand and said nonchalantly. "Since Xiaofei, you are not afraid of hard work, what am I afraid of. Seeing that you were weak and unstable just now, you must have been afraid that I would not go home in a hurry and came to tell me directly. Or you can stay and eat. After Xiaoyun left, I was alone in this family, and I felt very bored, and I also hoped that someone would accompany me. What do you think? Zhao Feng asked hopefully.
Seeing Zhao Fei's hopeful eyes, it was difficult for Zhao Fei to refuse. I could only reply helplessly: "That's good, Brother Feng, but I have to go and talk to my mother first." She also worries about it. ”
Hearing that Zhao Fei agreed, Zhao Feng was very happy. Since Zhao Yun studied martial arts with Tong Yuan, he was the only one in the family, and he didn't even have someone to talk to. So I often feel lonely. And he promised to train Zhao Fei to find a companion for himself. One person in the province is so boring.
"I know that you are filial, and you will never forget your parents. Okay, you go, I'm just going to get ready to eat, and since you've decided to stay and eat, I'll go to the woods and see if I can catch any meat. It's good to bring some back to your parents. Zhao Feng said very heartily, indeed he is in a good mood now.
And Zhao Fei was a little embarrassed, looked at Zhao Feng and said, "This is not good, Brother Feng, how can I bother you, just eat some casually." ”
"Hehe, it's fine. This is a big deal, you go home first, and I'll go back. After speaking, Zhao Feng ignored Zhao Fei, but turned around and went back to the house, took out a pair of bows and arrows, and went out.
In fact, Zhao Fei still hoped that Zhao Feng could hit something. Because the food at the end of the Han Dynasty was really not very good, especially for peasant households, it was already very good to be able to eat enough every day, so where did the meat come from? It is said that Zhao Feng has been here for so long, so he ate on the first night. As soon as he thought that there might be meat to eat today, Zhao Fei couldn't help but swallow his saliva wildly.
"God bless Brother Feng if he can hit something, right?" Zhao Feng looked up at the sky and prayed, but he didn't know if God heard it or not, and he didn't agree.
"Let's go home first, it's not a way to swallow saliva here. Let's talk to my mother first. Zhao Feng shook his head and walked out of Zhao Feng's house.
When he got home, he saw that Li was carrying water into the house, so he hurried over and planned to take the bucket from Li Shi's hand.
"Mother, I'll come." After finishing speaking, he walked into the house with a bucket, but Zhao Fei forgot that he still had sandbags on his body, so he didn't take a few steps, Zhao Fei's face was flushed, and he had to stop.
Looking at Zhao Fei, whose face was flushed and his forehead was already covered with sweat, Li felt indescribably relieved and distressed. "Okay, let's come for my mother, you just came back from workout, and it's normal that you don't have much strength." After speaking, he took the bucket from Zhao Fei's hand and carried it into the house.
Watching Li carry the water into the house, Zhao Fei could only shake his head helplessly. Looking at his thin arms, Zhao Fei sighed with emotion: "It's really powerless." It's not as good as even a mother. ”
Lee put the water in the house and walked out.
"Why did Fei'er come back so early today?" Li Shi asked Zhao Fei while wiping his hands.
"Today I went to the village chief's house to study." Hearing Li's question, Zhao Fei replied truthfully.
"Oh?" Li Shi glanced at his son in surprise, and then asked, "Why did you go to the village chief's house to study again?" Aren't you going to exercise with Ah Feng? There was a trace of doubt and worry between Li's eyebrows, although reading would not consume physical strength, but she was afraid that Zhao Fei would not be able to persevere. It's three minutes of heat for anything, and it's not good if that's it.
Zhao Fei saw his mother's worried look, so he hurriedly explained: "It's such a mother, I carefully considered my physical condition. I found that martial arts training was not suitable for me, and I was physically unable to farm in the future. I thought about it, since the martial arts are not enough, it is better to go to the text, although the village has not developed much, but you can enter the city in the future. So I begged Brother Feng to find someone to teach me to read, thinking that I would have a way out in the future. The village chief found that I was very talented in reading, so he accepted me as a student and taught me to read and write. Don't worry, I won't give up halfway, I'll stick to it. Brother Feng, I will stick to it, and the teacher has agreed. Let me get up early to find a teacher, who will teach me to read and write, and after lunch, I will go to Brother Feng to exercise. ”
Listening to Zhao Fei's words, Li couldn't help but nodded, "The child is indeed older and has his own ideas." But seeing Zhao Fei's thin body, he couldn't help but say, "But Fei'er, can your body withstand it?" In the past, I was already tired just from exercising, but now I need to read and write. Touching Zhao Fei's head, Li couldn't help but feel sad. There was a faint tear in his eyes.
Seeing his mother like this, Zhao Fei hurriedly comforted: "Mother, please rest assured, the child has grown up and will arrange his own affairs reasonably." ”
"Since Fei'er has already decided, then my mother will promise you." Li nodded and agreed to Zhao Fei.
Seeing that Li's mood calmed down, Zhao Fei said to Li again: "By the way, mother, there is one more thing." It's just that Brother Feng asked me to accompany him to dinner today, and I have already promised him, so ......"
"Since you promised Ah Feng, then you can go, people can't be untrustworthy." Li Shi withdrew the head from Zhao Fei's head and said with a smile.
"Mother rest assured, the child will study hard, get ahead in the future, and be filial to you and your father." Zhao Fei said firmly.
Suddenly, Li felt that his son's figure had become very tall, and his son had finally grown up. The tears that had just flashed in Li's eyes filled his eyes again.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Finding out that the Li family was unusual, Zhao Fei hurriedly asked.
Li gently wiped away the tears with his sleeve and said, "It's okay, my mother is fine, my mother is moved, my Fei'er has finally grown up." ”
Suddenly, Duo'er jumped out of the house, and Zhao Fei, who was watching, hurriedly ran over, grabbed Zhao Fei's sleeve, and began to be coquettish: "Brother, brother, are you here to play with Duo'er?" Duo'er has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Zhao Fei looked at Duo'er helplessly, touched Duo'er's head, and said with a smile: "Brother still has something to do, I will definitely accompany Duo'er when I come back in the afternoon." ”
"No, no, I want my brother to play with me now, my brother promised." Duo'er shook Zhao Fei's sleeves and said unrelentingly.
"Okay Duo'er, don't mess with my brother." Just when Zhao Fei was at a loss, Li suddenly said. Mother's words are still very useful, although Duo'er is very reluctant, but she still lets go of her hand. But the expression was still very dissatisfied.
"Okay Duo'er, my brother will come back early to accompany you in the afternoon." Zhao Fei pinched Duo'er's little face and said.
"Brother has to count when he speaks, let's pull Gougo." Stretch out your little hand.
Zhao Fei reluctantly agreed to stretch out his right hand and hook up with Duo'er.
"Okay, I'll go first if my mother is fine." Zhao Fei looked up at the time and found that it was not too early, so he turned his head and said to Li.
"Well, Fei'er go." Lee nodded.
"Brother, remember to come back early to play with Duo'er." Seeing Zhao Fei leave, Duo'er reminded again.
Not long after Zhao Fei left, Zhao Hu returned from farming. After looking at it, he found that there was no figure of Zhao Fei and asked, "Damn, hasn't Fei'er come back yet?" ”
"Oh. He just came back, but he said that Ah Feng wanted Fei'er to have a meal with him, so he went out again. Li heard the sound outside the house and walked out of the house.
"By the way, his father, Fei'er said that the village chief saw that he was very talented in reading, so he asked him to learn to read from the village chief, what do you think about this." Li asked suddenly.
Zhao Hu was suddenly stunned when he heard this. Then he thought about it for a while, and then said with a laugh: "Haha, this is a good thing, who in the village doesn't know that the village chief is very knowledgeable, Xiaofei learned to read with the village chief, maybe he can become the village chief in the future, of course this is a good thing." ”
"Since you also agree with him to study, then I am relieved." Li Shi took a deep breath and stroked his chest with his hand, for fear that Zhao Hu would oppose and not let Zhao Fei read it.
Zhao Hu was very dissatisfied and said, "Am I that kind of person?" ”
