Ji Youyi's face was embarrassed, not that she couldn't teach, but she understood that there was no reason for women to teach here, and she was afraid of provoking criticism.

Zhao Zhuang saw her like this, but comforted her, "Youyi, I know your worries, Xiayan Village is located in a remote area, there is little interaction with the outside world, and everyone is self-sufficient, so they have little knowledge." I am a rough person, I am fortunate to join the army this year, I have seen more than ordinary people, you have knowledge, you can teach children, that is a good deed. Anyway, I'm willing to let you teach Brother Yuan. ”

"Brother Zhao, this matter, why don't you go back and discuss it with your aunt before making a decision." Ji Youyi was still reluctant to agree, so she made an excuse.

Zhao Zhuang was reasonable, and asked the child directly: "Zhao Yuan, this is your own business, what do you say?" ”

Brother Yuan was stunned on the spot? I didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Zhao Yuan, are you willing to study with Aunt Ji?"

Brother Yuan was dumbfounded, Zhao Yuan was his real name, and he had never seen his father talk to him so seriously.

But when he heard that he could follow Aunt Ji, he was overjoyed, secretly glanced at Ji Youyi who was standing aside, and nodded slowly.

An An wrinkled his eyebrows, a sense of crisis made him pull Ji Youyi's sleeve tightly, and he looked at Brother Yuan vigilantly, as serious as he was an enemy.

Ji Youyi noticed his abnormality, observed his movements, and realized that this was An An's inner uneasiness, he was often lonely, and it was easy to form a xenophobic personality, which was also not conducive to future growth.

Maybe it's good to have someone to play with him and grow up.

She squatted down and whispered, "Does An An want one more person to study with you?" ”

An An shook her head and refused very bluntly.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuang embarrassedly pulled Brother Yuan, whose eyes were red, to stand aside.

Ji Youyi glanced at Zhao Zhuang and Brother Yuan apologetically, "Brother Zhao, An An is not sensible, don't worry about him." It's a good thing that Brother Yuan is willing to study, but this matter can't be skipped by Aunt Wang, let's discuss it again when we go back today. ”

Zhao Zhuang also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, "Okay, listen to you." Why don't you buy some books for Brother Yuan today? ”

The two took the children into the bookstore to buy some things, Ji Youyi mainly bought some four treasures of the study for An An, if you want books, you can go to the master, although those books are old, but look at the color of the paper, they are all high-quality, even the new books in this store are not comparable.

The money saved to buy books can be used to buy some good pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Rao is average, Ji Youyi picked for a long time, and followed the boss to bargain for half a day, still spending eighty yuan, you can imagine how difficult it is for ordinary people to train a student.

Zhao Zhuang also wanted to buy a set, but he was still a little distressed when he counted the price, so in the end, he just wanted to ask for teeth, and spent fifteen yuan to buy three enlightenment books.

You can write slowly, read, and have books.

Ji Youyi didn't say much, and she wasn't rich enough to give the four treasures of the study.

After shopping, I was going to eat, but seeing that the sky suddenly darkened, as if it was going to rain, the two discussed it and did not eat, and hurried back home in a noon ox cart.

Ji Youyi took An An into the house with her front foot, and there was a bang in the back, and the heavy rain poured down, which was really a coincidence.

The thunder roared, and the rainy season arrived, indicating that the sky was going to be hot.

"It's raining so hard." Ji Youyi wiped the sweat on An An's forehead and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we came back quickly, otherwise the heavy rain would have been drenched on the road." ”

An An nodded, following her example, stretched out her hand to wipe her sweat, her movements were immature, but very intimate.

Ji Youyi's heart warmed, "An An, let Brother Yuan study with you, okay?" My mother can't accompany you all the time, and if someone reads with you, my mother can feel a lot more at ease, okay? ”

She whispered softly to test An An's reaction, at first he was still nervous and very reluctant, but listening to her words, his expression gradually relaxed, and he changed to thinking.

"Okay." After half a ring, he seemed to have an idea of his own, nodded slowly, and agreed.

Ji Youyi said happily: "An An is a good child, my mother hopes that you can become an upright and strong person, who can protect yourself, your mother, and the kind people around you." ”

Even though she knows that many things are useful by not just talking, she always believes that hearing and seeing can change a person.

Compared with before, today's An An is like two people.

An An nodded, as long as it was something that could make his mother happy, he was willing to do it and try it.

Ji Youyi was very happy with An An's change, but not long after she was happy, she faced another problem.

I didn't notice the good weather before, but now when it rains, the thin thatched roof begins to leak.

It was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly inside the house, but fortunately, the roof of the inner house had been heavily repaired, barely blocking the rain, but looking at the seeping walls in the corners, she was really worried.

Originally, I wanted to find a carpenter to make some good furniture, but now it seems that I should find a craftsman to repair the roof first, otherwise I will not be able to survive the rainy season.

"It's my mother's negligence, and the roof of our house is going to be repaired."

Thundershowers come and go quickly, and after a period of heavy rain, they begin to lighten down.

"An An, you stay at home, I'll go find someone to see the roof of your house."

After Ji Youyi reported a sentence, she went out with an umbrella.

When it comes to repairing roofs, Lao Zhaotou in the village has the best skills. Lao Zhaotou, formerly known as Zhao De, has been a mason all his life, and he made the roofs in the village, and even the repair of the ancestral hall was made by him.

Ji Youyi's house is not far from his house, five or six minutes away.

"Is Uncle Zhao De at home? Out of politeness, she stood outside the courtyard and shouted.

The door opened, and Zhao De's daughter-in-law Liu Mei walked out with an umbrella.

Ji Youyi saw people come out and greeted politely. "Aunt Liu, I'm looking for Uncle Zhao."

Liu Mei was looking at her with twisted eyes, and her tone was not very good: "It's you, what's the matter?" ”

Ji Youyi didn't get angry because of her attitude, and still said politely: "Aunt Liu, the roof of my house is not very good, and I want to find an uncle to repair it." ”

"Do you have the money?"

"How much silver does this cost, don't you have to wait for Uncle Zhao to see it?"

"This roof repair, the materials are counted as labor, and it will cost a hundred yuan to say less, you pay attention first, and I will show you when I am free after a while."

"Aunt Liu, during the rainy season during this time, the roof of my house really can't hold for long, can you bother Uncle Zhao and follow me to see how to do it first? I have a lot of money. ”

"I'm not free, either you pay the deposit and wait, or you go back and fix it yourself, where is so much nonsense."

Liu Meizheng's tone was very impatient, and she looked at Ji Youyi with great disgust.

Liu Meizheng has always been very proud in the village.

She is well married, Zhao De has been spoiling her since she was young, and she is a rare favorite wife in the village.

Later, she gave birth to a daughter, God gave her food, she looked beautiful, Zhao De's family had some spare money, she had a good upbringing, she brought a box of dowry, married to the inspection of the county government, and she was also an official relative, and since then she has been walking like the wind in the village.

She has always looked down on Ji Youyi's mother and son, and even felt that Ji Youyi's birth of a child out of wedlock was simply a loss of a woman's face.
