Chapter 207: Are You Still Literate?
Erxi watched Brother sitting at the kang table and writing, with a look of envy, "Brother, are you still literate?" ”
Brother didn't squeak.
"Brother, your handwriting is so good." Erxi can't see whether it's good or bad, but when he looks at it clean, it's almost the same as the words on the New Year's painting, and he thinks it's well written.
Ah Di still didn't squeak, Xixi said, to focus.
But this didn't affect Erxi, he pointed to the half of the brick that fell from his wrist and said, "Then why do you still hang a brick when you write?" ”
Is it to write halfway to smash people?
"It's for wrist strength." Ah Di sighed, just because of his lack of wrist strength, people didn't let him copy the four books.
"Then why are you writing this?" Erxi is like a curious baby, throwing out one question after another.
"Make money." Adi buried his head and continued to write.
"Can you make money writing this?" Erxi's eyes lit up instantly.
Erxi loves to eat the most, in the words of his brother, he has a appetite beyond ordinary people, and the family occasionally gives him three or five pieces of pocket money to eat is often not enough, every time he eats his own quickly, and then looks at others to eat.
Brother sometimes sees that he is greedy and pitiful, so he gives him some of his own, which is also one of the reasons why Erxi is desperate for him.
"Isn't your sister quite rich, why do you still make money on your own?" Erxi was a little incomprehensible, "Your sister won't give you money to spend?" ”
His mother has been babbling recently that Li Qingyou has made a fortune, wearing silk and satin, going in and out of the carriage, and the family has hired someone to help with the work.
According to his mother, Li Qingyou is dressed up all day long, and he may not have hooked up with a good wild man, but he won't tell his brother this, and he doesn't believe it.
It's not that he trusts Li Qingyou much, but because Li Qingyou is my brother's sister.
"Those are two different things." Ah Di said as he wrote: "My sister's money is also hard-earned. ”
And there is a risk of compensation, and the house and land are staked out.
"That's right." Erxi grabbed a handful of fried soybeans, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and looked at the words written by Brother, "Brother, you teach me, I also want to write to make money, when the time comes, I can buy whatever I want to eat, save me money, my mother will scold me for being a pig and collecting debts." ”
Ah Di couldn't help laughing, and after a while, he smiled and looked at Erxi seriously, "Why don't you go home and discuss, how about going to the academy?" ”
Erxi was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this option.
"Well, I can't do it." Erxi hesitated.
He never thought about studying, his parents at home didn't know a single big word, and the children in front of him didn't study, and when they grew up in a few years, the family would say that a daughter-in-law would live, and everyone was like this.
Now that Ah Di suddenly said this, he was at a loss.
"What's not going to happen?" Ah Di put down the pen and looked at Erxi seriously, "Do you want to be like your father, and live a lifetime by carrying others in the future?" ”
Erxi's father usually guards at the door of Qian's house, and if there are people who go out or come back and need to carry luggage, he will go over to help in order to earn some meager hard-earned money.
"Just your small body......" Brother looked Erxi up and down, "I guess I can't carry it." ”
Don't look at the two likes to eat, you can eat, but you can't say what the reason is, you don't get fat when you eat dry, and you are as thin as a monkey. In the words of Erxi Niang, he eats as much as he eats for nothing, and he can still gain weight when he feeds the pigs.
"That'...... I don't know anything. Erxi scratched his head.
"What will you do with Mr." Ah Di gave him a roll of the eyes.
Erxi is different from those children, since Adi came here, Erxi has always been very good with him. And the school is in the east of the city, it takes two hours to go back and forth every day, and it is better to have a companion on the road than to be alone.
"That's right." Erxi smiled, "I'm afraid that I won't study well and waste my money in vain." ”
I've heard that it costs a lot of money to study.
"How can you waste your money if you study and make sense?" Ah Di didn't say more, turned his head and continued to copy the book, no, it was a silent book.
Brother is looking forward to being able to go to school with Erxi, but he doesn't know what his attitude is at home, so he told her about it when Li Qingyou came back in the evening.
Li Qingyou is not optimistic about this.
"It costs a lot of money for a scholar, and he only has a strong laborer in his family, and Erxi Niang can earn some money at most by helping to sew and repair. And there is not only one child in his family, and the two older brothers above him have reached the age of starting a family, so ......" Li Qingyou shook his head.
Even if the Erxi family has the heart to provide for him, I am afraid that the heart is not enough.
Ah Di nodded, although he was a little disappointed, but he also thought of this, and he was not too uncomfortable.
Li Qingyou rubbed his head, his eyes fell on the stack of papers on the cabinet, he walked over and picked it up and looked at it, his eyes couldn't hide his surprise, "Who wrote this?" ”
Li Qingyou doesn't know calligraphy, but he is also a person who has received 20 years of education, and he can still see it.
Look at the words on the paper at the beginning of the momentum, the end of the sharp and restrained, it is a good pen, at least she can't write.
Ah Di didn't squeak, still thinking about the fact that he would have to go to school alone in the future.
Li Qingyou glanced at him, "You wrote it?" ”
"Huh?" Ah Di came back to his senses, looked at the manuscript in her hand, and nodded, "Ah." ”
"Are you still literate?" Li Qingyou was a little surprised.
Brother, "......"
How fresh, he was enlightened at the age of five, and it was strange that he was illiterate.
And how do you ask this sentence?
Or is it all in this tone of surprise?
Is it strange that he is literate?
This afternoon, Li Qingyou is already the third person to say this, Erxi is the first, and Xiaoshan Niang is the second.
Ah Di just didn't know what to say.
After Li Qingyou said this, he felt that this was nonsense, on the day Niu Xiucai was admitted to the school, he didn't even say what three public and three Taiwan, and what prime minister's ministry, how could he be illiterate?
"I mean, you're pretty good." Li Qingyou made up for it again, and he still regretted it a little in his heart.
If she knew that Ah Di was literate and wrote a good hand, why did she draw the spring and palace pictures of Na Laoshizi before, and directly write a book and sell it, and save it so embarrassing.
"For the beautiful handwriting written by our brother, celebrate today and eat something good in the evening." Li Qingyou said and took out a piece of broken silver from his purse, and put one hand on his brother's shoulder, "Let's go, buy meat." ”
Ah Di glanced at the broken silver in his Qingyou sister's hand, and then at the manuscript on the cabinet, and wanted to say that it was better to save some flowers, they might be sleeping on the street one day.
But looking at Li Qingyou's energetic appearance, he couldn't bear to sweep away her interest.
"That's it?" Ah Di looked at the past suspiciously, and always felt that there should be something else.
"Of course, it's more than that." Li Qingyou snapped his fingers and rubbed his hands on his brother's face, "There is still a great thing." ”
