Yuan Dongchu gave Qin Xiangru a lot of face, and didn't mention the troubles of Xiaoman and others, so he talked about the matter: "If this is really the case, then simply mark the meaning of the text, Xiaoman and they each take a book, we just need to assign them homework, diligent supervision, everyone is very convenient." ”

"Yes, that's what it means." Qin Xiangru nodded again and again.

"Why don't you take some time for Qin Gongzi to make it up briefly?" Yuan Dongchu said very lightly.

Her character is a country girl who has not read seriously, and she only knows a few words roughly, so she naturally doesn't understand how heavy this kind of work is.

But Qin Xiangru knew the severity, and immediately smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the girl underestimated the large number of compilations." It would be a huge task to organize all the words and vocabulary into a book, and then mark the spelling characters one by one and make simple explanations. How do you do it in the next person? ”

"Oh, no?" Yuan Dongchu looked disappointed, "Forget it, then I'll come." You only need to collect some commonly used words, mark them to Xiaoman and others, and check them when you need to. ”

Qin Xiangru couldn't bear it, and he longed for the potential of phonetic symbols, so he said, "I'll learn too." After learning, I helped Miss Yuan sort out some common words and vocabulary, and the people from the letter bureau made do with them first. ”

Yuan Dongchu hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you Gongzi Qin, Gongzi Qin has helped me a lot." If I had done it alone, I don't know how long or long it would have been. ”

She is satisfied that she has taken the first step on the road to success.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Xiangru didn't realize that Yuan Dongchu had other thoughts, so he only waved his hand again and again, "What did Miss Yuan say?" I also have to thank Miss Yuan. Every time Miss Yuan has a whimsy, it can open my eyes. ”

So, on the dock of Muliang Town, everyone found that Qin Gongzi had also joined the study ranks of Xiaoman Xingyao and others. In addition to doing things, he muttered some unincomprehensible pronunciations, which seemed abnormal.

On the small boat back to Yanpu Town, Qin Xiangru remembered that this was a public place, and only held the copied piece of paper and read it silently in his heart, and restrained himself without reciting it.

When he got home, he didn't have too many scruples, and on the way to his parents to say goodbye, he still muttered and read words, and he didn't realize that he had walked outside the door of his grandmother's upper room, and his feet did not grasp the door well, and he almost stumbled on the threshold.

Qin Xiangru's mother, Mrs. Wang, saw it in her eyes, and she was displeased, and snorted lightly.

She said before that what good can she do with a bunch of rough people all day long? Sure enough, it is becoming more and more unruly, and more and more unorthodox.

Qin Xiangru was also shocked, and hurriedly gathered his mind and stepped forward to salute his parents.

Qin Xiangxian, the eldest son of the Qin family, and Qin Xiangxue, the third son, were already seated on one side, and the three brothers also signaled to each other.

After that, Qin Xiangru planned to retire.

Just as he was about to speak, Qin Rui asked, "What have you been busy with lately?" How do you walk absent-mindedly? ”

"This ......" Qin Xiangru hesitated, looking at his mother-in-law who was quite dissatisfied with him in the room, as well as the second and third brothers who were disapproving.

This is quite complicated to explain, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words. And the family, who don't like him to work at the docks, must disdain to listen to him say this.

"It's something about the letter bureau that needs to be learned as soon as possible, so that the behavior is at a loss, and it's Jingwen's mistake." Qin Xiangru admitted his mistake as usual.

Mrs. Wang glanced at him without being salty and did not comment, but she was even more dissatisfied with Qin Xiangru in her heart.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Qin Xiangru still mixed up with the coolies at the dock as if it was none of his business.

The master of his family also changed his shrewdness in the past, not only did not restrain this, but also connived, and even Qin Xiangru's house after marriage was bought in Muliang Town.

And as I said before, if Qin Xiangru separated him after he got married, he would never mention it again.

Thinking that there was not much property left in the family, and after a hundred years for her and Qin Rui, she would have to give Qin Xiangru a share, and Mrs. Wang was really unhappy.

Qin Rui snorted, pondering that the letter bureau might be really something, and it was okay to take the time to ask.

Thinking so, he advised: "Since you are taking on other people's errands, it is naturally good to do it with your heart." However, it should not be too disproportionate. ”

"Yes." Qin Xiangru bowed and agreed.

"The eldest brother is a person who has read books, what do rough people on the dock do, why do you need to bother so much? Big brother, you're too serious. Qin Xiangxian reminded with a slight sarcasm.

"This ......" Qin Xiangru continued to hesitate, but his eyes looked at Qin Rui.

What Yuan Dongchu said, he couldn't do much alone. But my father is idle at home, reading some idle books and drinking tea every day, and after a long time, I always feel bored.

I wonder if my father is interested in this?

"What? But what happened? Qin Rui asked.

"It's a matter of the letter bureau, Miss Yuan wants her son to help compile a booklet, which has a lot of content, and her son is thinking about how to do it."

It's the letter bureau and the river run again! Mrs. Wang was very impatient.

She is a person who has experienced the prosperity of the capital for decades, and now although she has fallen into a small town, she has not lowered her style. Therefore, he was extremely impatient with these things that Qin Xiangru said.

How can Qin Rui be very supportive, just a concubine, she just opens her eyes and closes her eyes like that.

But when she discussed it in her room, she couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Wang picked up the tea and coughed lightly.

Qin Rui understood that this was his wife's impatience to listen.

He was not reluctant, but he didn't intend to put down what Qin Xiangru said, so he said: "If this matter is not clear for a while, then go to the study with my father to discuss it in detail." ”

Qin Xiangru hurriedly nodded yes, if his father could help with this, it would be much easier.

Mrs. Wang saw that Qin Rui was about to go to the study while he was talking, and hurriedly said to her son: "Zhewen, you still have a book that you haven't copied today, you can also do your homework." ”

Don't want her son to be involved in this kind of thing, the person who has rolled on the dock, no matter when he mentions it, will not be honored.

Qin Rui said "um", did not raise any objections, signaled to his wife again, and got up.

Qin Xiangru hurriedly saluted his mother-in-law and said goodbye, and followed his father out of the room.

Behind them, Mrs. Wang put the teacup on the table, looking quite disdainful.

The eldest son of her family was coaxed by the country girl they often talk about to help people do day jobs. It was thanks to her that she spoke out in time, otherwise, her son might have to be counted in.

Qin Rui's thinking is not complicated, he is optimistic about Gu Tiancheng and the father and daughter of the Yuan family, Qin Xiangru should help them do things. If he encounters difficulties, it is okay for him to be a father who can help him, so he should make a good fate and pave the way for the future of the Qin family.

In the study, the father and son sat down, and Qin Xiangru told Qin Rui the phonetic symbols and what Yuan Dongchu said to him in their original form.
