Chapter 61: Seeing Off

For such a literacy method, Yuan Dongchu is very confident.

My colleague's daughter is still in kindergarten, although she can't write, she knows most of the words she uses every day. Especially when walking on the street, the signs on the street, the warning signs and billboards on the road can basically be read.

As Xiuchun and Xiaocui, who have never been in contact with words, there is still a blank in this aspect in their thinking and mind, and their receptivity should be very strong.

By repeatedly looking at and memorizing some common, commonly used words and words, the subconscious mind can remember them quickly, just like remembering human faces.

In a simple shed where the husband rested, listening to Yuan Dongchu's explanation to Xiuchun and the others, Xiao Cuiniang was infected by this self-confidence, and asked tentatively: "This doesn't seem to be too difficult, can my kid know it?" ”

Xiaocui's younger brother is in his early teens, which can be regarded as the prime time for learning, and Yuan Dongchu gave a very positive answer: "Yes, maybe he remembers faster." ”

There are several copies of the place names and street names shown by Yuan Dongchu. At the beginning, there are graphic prompts, and it is very convenient to follow the prompts to expand the ideas for comparison and memory, and there is no need for people to remind and teach from time to time.

Such things, in addition to those for Xiuchun and a few others, are also for Xiaoman and his little brothers.

Wait until this delivery comes back to test the effectiveness of these people's literacy, and then you can decide how to use them next. Then, with Yishui County as the initial development of the letter bureau, it can be formally established.

Yuan Dongchu explained the content written on the paper to Xiaocui and Xiuchun twice, and then listened to the two of them repeat it according to the prompts of the pattern, and the matter came to an end.

Then, she took a small burden with some pride and said to the two, "I brought a gift for you in Tongzhou." ”

She said, pulling out a wooden box from inside her baggage.

When I opened the box, there were four silk flowers in it, two pink and two yellow. The color is a little bit like that, but the workmanship is delicate and very beautiful.

In fact, what is the color is also Yuan Dongchu's own feeling, the little girl of this era likes such a fresh and bright color.

"I don't know which color you two like, so I bought two of each. You don't have to pick a color, you can choose two colors, and you two can choose the style. Yuan Dongchu picked up a tender yellow one and gestured it to Xiaocui's bun.

It's really good-looking, such a color, there is no vulgar feeling.

It's just that the clothes are dull and old, and they don't match a bit.

"Sister, I haven't made a career yet, and I don't have the money to buy good things for you. These are two pieces of muslin, the pattern is what we don't have here, but it's a little less, each piece is only enough to make a jacket, you two must not dislike it. ”

The two pieces of fabric are not only of good quality, but also beautiful in color that has never been seen in the town and county.

Except for Xiuchun and Xiaocui, everyone else's eyes were straight.

Especially Xiuchun's sister-in-law, not only her teeth are sore, but even her heart is sour. Don't dislike what else to say? Everyone's eyes are lit up, such a good object, it is a person who will not dislike it.

Xiuchun Niang and Xiao Cui Niang are familiar with the world, and without waiting for Xiuchun and the two to speak, they have already stood up from the stone pier where they are sitting, and excused themselves again and again: "How can this be done?" It costs a lot of silver to buy such a valuable object. At the beginning of winter, you still keep it for yourself, and it is also decent to wear it on important occasions. Let's take a trip out and bring a gadget back, but we can't accept this. ”

"yes, yes." Everyone excused themselves in unison, reluctant to give up, but things are not ordinary, and it is really difficult to take them.

Yuan Dongchu smiled: "I have my own." "The important occasions that these people say won't be for her to keep as a dowry or something, right?

After a few rounds of politeness and getting things done, the sun is already high. On the other side, the supply of the fleet is also ready, ready to anchor.

Gu Tiancheng's time was pinched very accurately, not wasted at all, the ship boss just began to beckon the big guys to take care of the things at hand and prepare to set off, Gu Tiancheng and Gu Mu appeared in people's field of vision.

Gu's mother was still so sturdy and neat, and she didn't see the expression of missing or worrying about her son at all.

Gu Tiancheng's brothers in Muliang Town, as well as the boatmen who were about to get on the boat, Yuan Changhe, and Qin Xiangru all stayed on the shore, waiting eagerly, thinking that this guy would be late for delay.

I didn't expect people to have such a strong sense of time, it's just right not sooner or later.

In order not to attract attention, Yuan Dongchu had already said goodbye to Xiuchun and the others, and got on the boat early.

She was also worried that Gu Tiancheng would be late, and she was watching from the side of the ship, and from a distance, she saw Gu Tiancheng's mother coming to see Gu Tiancheng in person, but it was inappropriate for her not to look at her.

If there is no accident, Gu's mother will be her mother-in-law in the future.

She is going to do things outside, Gu Tiancheng may promise Gu's mother to open up, and she doesn't mind this. Therefore, she can't hide the matter with the boat from Gu's mother, of course, she can't avoid it.

However, it is not a problem to come forward with great fanfare.

So, Yuan Dongchu quietly slipped off the boat, stood behind Yuan Changhe, and watched Gu Tiancheng and his brothers rush forward to greet Gu's mother.

Yuan Dongchu looked at this situation from the gap in the crowd, and his heart was greatly admired.

Such a grand scene...... Whether Gu Tiancheng has enough influence, or Gu's mother has enough prestige and affinity, it is uncertain.

Probably indispensable, if Gu Tiancheng is a person with poor character and no bones and snobbery, no matter how great Gu's mother is, she will not be able to get close to these many people.

If Gu Tiancheng is capable enough, but his mother is a shallow person who stirs up trouble and cares, even if the big guy takes care of Gu Tiancheng's face, it is estimated that so many people will not take the initiative to make it up.

Gu's mother spoke and behaved very neatly, greeting people one by one, and it wasn't until the brothers on the dock were finished that Yuan Changhe and Qin Xiangru appeared in front of Gu Tiancheng and Gu's mother.

Qin Xiangru had seen Gu's mother, and the rough men retreated, so he was busy saluting Gu's mother: "The kid has seen his aunt, I haven't seen him for a few days, have you always been good?" ”

"Okay, thank you Qin Gongzi for remembering." Gu Mu said with a smile, turned her head and said to Gu Tiancheng again, "Look at Qin Gongzi, you are always humble and polite, you have to learn a little." ”

"I ......" Gu Tiancheng looked embarrassed, if he was like Qin Xiangru, wouldn't there be no bones left to be eaten?

Qin Xiangru was even more frightened, and hurriedly shook his hand: "This can't be, you can't." How good it is that Tiancheng is like this, the kid has always wanted to learn Tiancheng like this, but he can't learn it anyway. He must not be like me, I ...... I really can't do it. ”

Gu's mother continued to carry forward the excellent traditions of other people's children, and educated Gu Tiancheng: "Look at the Qin Gongzi, how sincere and down-to-earth, how honest and down-to-earth he is, how can he be like you, he looks like he is not upright and unreliable." ”

Gu Tiancheng: "......"

Yuan Dongchu shrank behind his father, watched the whole process from the gap, and almost laughed out loud when he saw Gu Tiancheng's helplessness in his eyes.

This guy, who acts like a bandit a lot of the time, when will he be brought to the point where he can't be justified?

How can he drop one thing and one thing, his mother can lower him.

Gu's mother continued to say to Qin Xiangru: "You are a reliable child, Tiancheng is with you, and my aunt is always a little more relieved." Dealing with his temperament, you have a lot of responsibilities for this child, and my aunt is really grateful to you in my heart. ”

As he spoke, he took the basket that Gu Tiancheng was carrying, felt heavy, handed it to Qin Xiangru, and said, "It's very hard to walk on the river for so many days. These are peanuts, dates, and pickled vegetables or something, you can eat snacks, and you can drink alcohol, and you and the children on the boat can take them to relieve your boredom. ”

Qin Xiangru hurriedly took it and thanked him one after another.

After that, Gu Tiancheng solemnly introduced Yuan Changhe: "Mother, this is the uncle of the Yuan family who does river transportation with me." ”

Gu's mother pushed away the half-walk salute: "Tiancheng is a quick-tempered and trouble-prone character, thank you Master Yuan for taking care of you." ”

"Where is it, Tiancheng is calm, although his aunt is relieved." Yuan Changhe stood in place and said with his fists clenched. At their age and status, it will be a little embarrassing to come into contact, and keeping a distance is the most important thing.

Gu Tiancheng's focus was not on Yuan Changhe, he looked at Yuan Dongchu, who was in shape, and introduced to Gu's mother: "This is my uncle's daughter Dongchu." At the beginning of winter, this is my mother. ”
