43. Officially enter a private school (the eighth day of the first month)
Lin Lijun hadn't reached the gate of the courtyard yet, so she ran in first.
Seeing this, Su Rui hurriedly followed, and saw that Old Man Lin was sitting on a small bench in the hall, weaving a bamboo basket, and stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Lin, your skills are good, can you help me weave a box?" ”
Old Man Lin stopped what he was doing, stroked his beard, and asked, "Box?" What does a wooden box look like? ”
Su Rui thought about how to describe it, gestured with her hand, and described it carefully: "It's probably so big, it's best to have a block inside, and you can put open books, paper, and pen and ink inkstones." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Well, it's better to open the lid up and down, there is a way to fix it, and there is a handle on the lid that can be carried by hand, it's even better, if you can't put a strap on your shoulder." ”
Su Rui's modern thinking is the difference between a shoulder bag and a handbag, haha.
While listening to Su Rui's description, Old Man Lin kept making it up, stopping from time to time to ask for details.
In less than half an hour, a delicate little suitcase was completed.
"Is that what it looks like?"
Su Rui saw that the bamboo strips were constantly changing in the hands of Old Man Lin, and finally it was completed, she picked it up in surprise, looked left and right, and praised it without hesitation: "Grandpa Lin, this one you made up is really good, I don't know how much better than the wooden bookbox that is specially sold, it's just amazing." ”
Su Rui said in her heart, "This is the real craftsman, it's just amazing, much stronger than the craftsman uploaded on a modern network..."
Su Rui thought seriously and suggested to Old Man Lin: "Grandpa Lin, you can sell this to readers, just sell it to readers, the general reading manpower is not so big, the bamboo box is lightweight, it must be easy to sell." ”
Old Man Lin's smiling beard shook and shook, he was very happy that his skills were recognized, and said happily: "The main thing is that your ideas are good, I don't have so many ideas, old man." ”
"Grandpa Lin, don't worry, I will think of a few more styles for you in the future." Su Rui felt that this kind of good craftsmanship was a pity to only weave bamboo baskets and carry baskets.
"Then I'm here to thank Miss Su."
Su Rui thought of Chen Yuan who went to school with Su Chenrui, and hurriedly said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but Grandpa Lin, can you help me make up a few?" A few of my cousins are going to private school, and I want to give one to each of them. ”
Anything, whether it is a friend or a relative, must be maintained, so Su Rui plans to buy more bamboo boxes for each person.
When they gave it to them the next day, everyone was very happy, and Su Rui specially explained to them, and anyone who asked about this bamboo box said that it was for scholars.
Su Rui thought to herself, any business must be publicized, since you want to sell it to readers, it must be the publicity and effect of readers.
Su Rui thought that the conditions of Old Man Lin's house were not good, and wanted to give more money, but Old Man Lin didn't charge money no matter what he said, and in the end there was no way, Su Rui had to send some pickled dried fish at home, as well as the snacks and brown sugar he bought.
On the morning of the eighth day of the new year, the Su family sisters and brothers sent Su Chenrui to the private school in the village, and when they arrived at the door of the private school, Su Rui handed over the money to Su Chenrui.
"Chenrui, you can go in."
Su Chenrui looked at Su Rui a little nervously, carefully looked at the students around him who were going to the private school, and said softly to Su Rui: "Sister, aren't you going with me?" ”
"Chen Rui, starting today, you have to do a lot of things by yourself, not by relying on your sister, and do you think many of your future classmates will also go in by themselves? So, go in and sign up for bondage by yourself today. ”
Su Rui looked at Su Chenrui's timid appearance, and just thought in her heart, exercise his courage well, and completely forgot that he was only eight years old.
Su Ying cheered Su Chenrui up and said, "Chenrui, don't worry about going boldly, we all believe that you can do it." ”
Su Qiao also said: "Big brother, you have to study hard. ”
"Big brother, if you don't study hard, be careful that the eldest sister beats you." Su Wan gloated beside her.
Su Chennan looked left and right in Su Ying's arms, clapped her hands and said, "Fight, big sister fight." ”
Su Chenrui looked at Su Wan and Su Chennan with black lines on his face, pinched his little face, took a deep breath, and said to the Su family's brothers and sisters with his head held high.
"Well, then I'm in."
Su Rui waved at Su Chenrui and said goodbye.
Su Rui waited for Su Chenrui to enter the private school, and then said to her younger siblings, "Let's go back." ”
Su Ying was puzzled, "Eldest sister, aren't we waiting for Chen Rui?" ”
Su Rui saw that her younger siblings were looking at her with puzzled expressions, so she explained: "Although today is not the day of their official teaching, they will receive books today, and Mr. will definitely explain various matters to them, it will definitely take a long time to finish, we have nothing to do here, it is better to go home." ”
When the brothers and sisters of the Su family saw this, they also went home.
On the way home, I met Su Qiang's father and mother, who all knew each other, and they definitely wanted to say hello, "Uncle Dehou, Happy New Year to Uncle Mao." ”
Su Dehou saw that it was Su Rui, so he stopped and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, you guys also have a good New Year." ”
Mao took Su Rui's hand and asked, "Rui girl, why did you go so early?" ”
Su Rui looked at the couple in surprise, didn't Su Qiang say that he would also go to private school? Why do you think Su Dehou and his family don't know?
"Isn't this the day to go to a private school? Su Qiang didn't go? ”
Su Dehou and his wife remembered that their son was going to go to a private school, and said embarrassedly, "I said Qiangzi, I got up so early to ask for money for his grandmother, so I left with a bamboo box, what is it for?" I thought I was going to a private school today..."
Su Rui's brother and sister looked at each other, "............"
These two have really big hearts...
Su Ying looked at the two of them carrying a bamboo basket with fresh soil in it, and asked strangely: "Uncle Dehou, what are you going to do so early?" ”
Su Dehou shook the basket he was carrying, "Hey, we looked at the leeks you gave us in winter, and we wanted to find out if we could grow some food in the house, no, we went to the ground and dug up some leek roots." ”
Su Rui thought to herself that the ancients were still very smart, no, she thought of a way, "It's a good idea, it can be placed in a relatively warm and ventilated place, it should grow quickly." ”
Mao Shi kept holding Su Rui's hand and did not let go, and warmly invited Su Rui's sisters and sisters to say: "Yes, yes, when the leeks of my uncle's family are ripe, please eat dumplings." It's all time coming. ”
Su Rui couldn't stand Mao's enthusiasm a little, and hurriedly responded, "Okay, I will definitely go then." ”
"Uncle Dehou, Uncle Mao, we'll go back first." Su Rui was afraid of the enthusiasm of the two of them, and pulled her sisters to go back.
"Good"
Walking away, Su Rui glanced at Su Qiaocai and said, "Qiao'er, you can laugh if you want, how uncomfortable is it to hold back?" ”
"Puff"
Su Qiao couldn't help it, she had never seen her eldest sister so embarrassed, her face stiffened with a smile...
Su Rui "............"
"Chenrui, come on. You sit here. Su Chenyuan saw Su Chenrui from afar and waved his arm.
Su Chenrui saw that in the enlightenment class, the seats were almost seated, and there was only one next to Su Chenyuan, so he walked over quickly.
"Why did you get here so early?"
"You're too late." After Su Chenyuan finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at him.
Su Qiang smiled and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, you can choose a good position if you come early." ”
Su Chenrui ignored Su Chenyuan's eyes and asked strangely, "Then why don't you sit in the front rows, but all sit on the side or back?" "It's a little strange to see my cousins sitting around him.
Su Chenhao smiled and said, "Protect you." ”
Su Chenrui"......... I thank you. ”
