Chapter 34: Luo Hui'an's Residence
Tong Chuxue bought only one acre of land at the beginning, and it was a piece of dry land, and the yield of dry land was naturally not as good as that of paddy fields.
"Mother, I thought it would be better to find some people to turn the family's land into paddy fields." Tong Chuxue suggested that they now have silver in their hands, and they don't need to worry about wages.
"The yield of paddy fields is high, but our place is far away from the river in the village, so it will take a lot of effort to change it to paddy fields." Xu Jinniang said worriedly.
"Mother, let's pay more, I'm not afraid that we won't find anyone to come." Tong Chuxue is not worried about these at all, the so-called money can make the ghost grind, as long as they are generous and willing to pay high wages, are they still worried that no one will work.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that buying people back was too eye-catching, she would have wanted to buy a few people to come back and farm.
"This-" Xu Jinniang hesitated for a while but agreed, "I'll listen to you." ”
The first rice harvest is coming soon, and if they want to find someone to change the paddy fields, it is best to do so in the next few days.
Tong Chuxue didn't know many people in the village, so after thinking about it, she found the Luo family.
Mrs. Luo has a total of three sons, who are at the age of work, one is more capable than the other, and when she heard that Tong Chuxue was willing to pay them thirty yuan a day, she immediately patted her chest and promised that she would do a good job for her.
In addition, Tong Chuxue bought some rice seeds at Luo's house.
The seeds of the farmers are kept from the previous harvest, and even if they are hungry on weekdays, they will not touch the seeds.
Fortunately, Tong Chuxue's family only has one acre of land, and the number of seeds needed is not large.
Mrs. Luo's eyes rolled, and she said to Tong Chuxue, "Snow girl, I think you are also generous, and we won't cheat you, or wait for our family's seedlings to come out, how convenient it is for you to buy ready-made ones directly." Your family doesn't have paddy fields now, so when you buy the seedlings back and wait for the seedlings to come out, the rice has already been planted in the ground. ”
Tong Chuxue was like a mirror in her heart, Mrs. Luo wanted to give her the seedlings that were of poor quality.
"Grandma, our family doesn't have paddy fields, but it's the same for seedlings to sprout in dry land, anyway, our family has just one acre of land, as long as it's enough for me and my mother to eat." After Tong Chuxue finished speaking, she walked to the bag of seeds piled up in the corner of the Luo family.
Lin Chunyan from the third room happened to come in at this time, and saw Tong Chuxue looking at the seeds, and said with a smile, "Snow girl, you want to buy seeds, I'll find you a cloth bag to put them." ”
Mrs. Luo sat on the bench and stared, but Lin Chunyan didn't pay attention to Mrs. Luo's expression at all, and took the initiative to help Tong Chuxue find the cloth bag.
Tong Chuxue grabbed enough, put the copper plate on the table, and looked at Mrs. Luo with a smile, "Grandma, thank you." ”
After speaking, he ignored Mrs. Luo's resentful gaze, and turned a corner into the door of the third room.
As soon as Tong Chuxue entered, she saw Luo Huiqing's little eyes firmly staring at her, and she felt strange, "Qing girl, why are you always staring at me?" ”
Luo Huiqing shook her head, looked away, wiped the bench twice, and said to Tong Chuxue, "Sister, sit." ”
Tong Chuxue looked around, but didn't see Luo Huifeng, "What about your brother?" ”
"My brother is in a private school." Luo Huiqing said.
"So fast." Tong Chuxue sighed, "She always felt that she only heard Luo Hui'an say a few days ago that she would send Luo Huifeng to study in a private school, but when she came over today, she found that he was already studying." ”
Tong Chuxue took out the three-character scripture she had bought before from her arms, a little melancholy, "I originally wanted to ask Xiao Feng, but I didn't expect him to be there." ”
In the past few days, she has found that the three-character scripture here is longer than the version she originally knew, and some of the extra words are beyond the scope of her knowledge, so she wants to ask by the way this time.
"Big brother must know, I'll take you there!" Luo Huiqing was overjoyed, and he insisted on pulling Tong Chuxue to Luo Hui'an's house.
Tong Chuxue always knew that Luo Hui'an's treatment in the Luo family was special, but she didn't expect it to be so special. Luo Hui'an has a small house alone, the area is actually not large, only more than 20 square meters, in the countryside where the land is almost free, such a house is actually small.
Luo Hui'an's house was a little dark, the sun was too strong during the day, and the beds in the room were covered with a plain white cloth. In the window of the room was a simple desk, with a few large boxes on the side, and then a bed in the corner, which seemed to be the place where Luo Hui rested.
At this time, Luo Hui'an was reading a book in the house, and when he saw Tong Chuxue and Luo Huiqing coming in, he put down the books and smiled at them, "You are here." ”
Tong Chuxue vaguely felt that this sentence seemed to be addressed to her.
"Big brother, my sister said that there are some things in the book that she doesn't understand." Luo Huiqing, a small and big guy, pushed Tong Chuxue forward, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Speaking of which, it is not the first time that Tong Chuxue has been alone with Luo Hui'an, but for some reason the atmosphere this time is a little different.
She pretended to be calm and picked up the three-character scripture in her hand and opened it, pointed to the beginning of a paragraph, and said to Luo Hui'an, "I don't recognize the words after this." ”
Luo Hui'an nodded, turned around and brought a bamboo stool from the corner next to the bed, "You sit." ”
Tong Chuxue sat down obediently.
Luo Hui'an took the book in her hand, spread the book on the table with gentle movements, and slowly started talking to Tong Chuxue from the first word.
But Tong Chuxue didn't forget it, after listening to it for a quarter of an hour, she felt that she really couldn't write down everything, so she made a small request, "Luo Hui'an, can you borrow me a few pieces of paper to take notes, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back later." ”
After all, in this era, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are still very expensive, and if you borrow it, you have to pay it back.
Luo Hui'an paused slightly, and said to Tong Chuxue with a little apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." ”
Tong Chuxue shook her head again and again, "No, no, it's because I have a bad memory." ”
"You don't have a good memory?" Luo Hui'an seemed to ask her very seriously.
"Uh...... I mean it down and it's not easy to forget. "Tong Chu Snow Road.
"It doesn't matter." Luo Hui'an took out a few sheets of rice paper from a large stack of rice paper on the table and put them in front of Tong Chuxue, "I'll remember." ”
"Huh?"
Tong Chuxue raised her head and looked at Luo Hui'an suspiciously, what did he mean by this, what would he remember.
"Here you go." Luo Hui'an picked out the smallest brush, dipped it in ink, and handed it to Tong Chuxue.
Tong Chuxue took the pen in Luo Hui'an's hand and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Luo Hui'an pursed his lips, and then explained the content of the book to Tong Chuxue.
In the last days, Tong Chuxue gradually formed a set of her own abbreviation system in order to facilitate the recording of information, of course, her set of things seemed to outsiders to be as disorganized as drafts.
Therefore, Luo Hui'an was very surprised when he saw Tong Chuxue taking notes for the first time.
"This is a symbol I invented myself, used to record, it's okay, you say yours, I remember mine." Tong Chuxue scratched her head embarrassedly.
Luo Hui calmed down for a while before reining in surprise and continuing to explain.
In fact, there is not a lot of content left behind the Three Character Sutra, and after the two of them stayed in the room for an hour, all the content was over.
"If you still want to read it, I still have some books here, you can take them and read them first." Luo returned to Andao.
But Tong Chuxue shook her head, "No, I learned the Three Character Classic mainly to recognize words." ”
