Helan was woken up by the rooster's crow for the third time, put on the old clothes that Wu's mother had given her, and went to the well after a simple tidying up, and struggled to get some water out to be used.

Helan couldn't help but sigh, it was too difficult to fight, the main arm couldn't use the strength, it didn't hurt much when I was beaten yesterday, I didn't expect it to hurt so much after a night.

Seeing that the other rooms didn't open the door and woke up, Helan went out with a wooden basin, and yesterday I heard Qingmei say that the place to wash clothes was not far from home, so I groped my way to that side.

Yesterday was Qingmei washing, and I was embarrassed to let others wash my clothes again.

It's a blessing that I didn't find anyone along the way, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do.

When Helan first got up, the sky was as white as a thin needle eye mixed in the darkness, but after a while, it turned into a wisp of white sand in the dark, and through this layer of white, he could already see some of the scenery on the road. In the future, these beautiful scenery will definitely be blocked by high-rise buildings, but I didn't expect to come here to meet.

This is supposed to be a village hidden in a field, and the river is just half of the village, which can be seen along the main road. After walking for a while, you can see that you find a flat place, soak your clothes in a wooden basin with water, and then start kneading.

can only be kneaded dry by hand, Helan did not find anything that could replace the washing powder in ancient times, so at this time, he could only rely on his hands to clean hard, but he didn't expect that his arm hurt after just a few rubs.

"Didn't you take the ashes? This can't be washed, I have some here, do you want to use them first? The girl in front of her looked only eleven or twelve years old, her eyes were small, her face was round, especially her cheeks were full of collagen, which made people want to go up and pinch it.

"Thanks, a little bit is fine."

"Why are you here so early? Whose sister is it? The voice is soft and glutinous, which makes people feel very pitiful.

"I ······ I belong to the Wu family, the fourth family in front of me. I don't know how to answer this question, if I directly say that it is Wu Qingzhu's wife, it will be too early, and the two are now just writing documents in the government and putting them in modern times, that is, they have received a marriage certificate. Listening to what they said yesterday, it seems that in this era, there is only a marriage certificate, and the parents do not have permission and do not hold a banquet.

"Oh, it's Wu Tongsheng's family, why haven't I seen you? Are you a relative of his? Why did you come so early? Isn't it usually Sister Qingmei who comes to wash clothes? "The little girl is like a problem baby, constantly throwing out her own questions.

"Well, because of the change in the family, I came to run, and I just arrived a few days ago, thank you for the ashes, my clothes are washed and I will leave first." This little girl doesn't know why she talks so much, there are still many problems, I'm really afraid, I'd better leave quickly, in case she says the wrong thing, she will cause trouble for the Wu family.

The little girl looked at Helan who was walking away and felt very angry, why did she leave so early, she hadn't answered her question yet!

When I arrived at the door of the house, I took a deep breath, stretched out my hand and pushed open the courtyard door, and when I looked up, I saw Wu Qingzhu who was reading. Facing Dongfang who was reading or endorsing books very seriously, the sound of pushing the door didn't disturb him.

Helan could only quietly go back to her room, and vaguely heard the sound of Wu's mother getting up and going to the kitchen, and Helan also quickly got up and went out.

"Why did you wake up so early today? The injuries on my body are not healed, so let's go back to the house and rest. ”

"Thank you, mother, I'm already well, I'll continue to help you light the fire."

"Then if you want to help, do it, you light the fire first, and I'll go to the vegetable field to pick up the root radish." After speaking, Wu's mother yawned and went to the backyard slowly.

The meal in the morning is especially simple, just a pot of porridge, half a nest head for one person, and a cold dish called radish. Fortunately, I can see the shadow of the eggs, but there are only three eggs, one for grandpa, one for Wu Qingzhu and Qingquan, and the rest of the people can only watch them eat.

I heard Qingmei say that most of the eggs at home are to be kept and sold for money, and grandpa doesn't eat them at the time, but whenever the seasons change, grandpa's legs will hurt, so I want to give the old man some eggs to make up for it.

Although I also know that it will not have any good effect, eggs are considered a good thing in the countryside, and one day is a good day even if it is a good day.

Qingquan, who finished breakfast, was called away by a boy in the village, and Wu's mother didn't catch up, so naturally Wu's mother was nagging again.

Wu Qingzhu put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the study to continue reading, Wu's father and Wu mother carried shovels and hoes and said that they were going to the vegetable field to turn the ground and sprinkle some rapeseeds; If the weather is good, these vegetables can grow, and if it is too cold this year, these rapeseeds will be wasted, at least there is some hope for planting.

Grandpa Wu went into the house and took a book of his own and went out of the room, and now Helan and Qingmei were left on the dinner table. Helan was instructed by Wu's mother to clean up the remaining mess, and Qingmei was about to start her daily busy moments.

The little girl of the same age also has more topics to talk about, and the conversation is more likely, Helan knows that her grandfather is the enlightenment teacher in the village, and he is also the only child in several nearby villages except Wu Qingzhu.

Some of the people in the clan who have reached the age will arrange for their children to study in the schoolhouse, and some of the more qualified will be left behind. After learning the knowledge, the clan that doesn't hope for the exam will also find a way to arrange to go out as a buddy, at least than farming at home to have face.

Wu Qingzhu went to Wang Xiucai's home school in the county seat from three years ago, and after three years, what should be learned has been basically completed, and you can take the exam in three years.

Since Wu Qingzhu didn't pass the exam this year, he also chose to study at home, and Wu Qingquan's studies were placed on Wu Qingzhu's body.

Helan was curious, was their schoolwork simple? In the past few days, I have only seen Wu Qingzhu occasionally copying or reciting, and Wu Qingquan often runs out, and sometimes he can't see his shadow for a day.

It was Qingmei who explained that Wu Qingzhu was busy sorting out the knowledge points discussed with some knowledgeable seniors outside in the past few days after returning from the exam, so he didn't have time to care about him, and Wu Qingquan became like a wild monkey.

"He can't jump for a few days, and when the eldest brother is done, he will know how hard his hard life is." Qingmei helped Helan pack up her things while gloating and talking to Helan.

In this family, this younger brother is not bullying himself, the two of them fought a lot in the early years, and in the past few years, they have changed their quarrels without fighting, but every time they can't quarrel with him.

Annoyed and angry, he naturally wanted to do it, but this kid grew bigger and bigger, and his legs became longer and longer, and he couldn't catch up with him.

The two of them cleaned up the house and released the chickens out of the cage together, and went out with the basket on their backs, of course, it was only Qingmei who went out, and Wu's mother told Helan not to go out for a few days before leaving.

The bored Helan can only squat in the corner and watch the chickens in the yard looking for food, such as this rooster's comb is blood-red, the feathers are bright, especially the tail is particularly slender and bright, Helan judged that it should be a rooster, and it is estimated that it crows every morning, and the remaining dense and fat hair should be the hen, which is best used to stew chicken soup.

Look at the chicken nest and there is a chicken squatting in the nest very honestly, Helan is very strange, doesn't this chicken need to eat? The other chickens all ran out as soon as they opened the door, and this chicken didn't see it move.

"It's hatching chicks, and this chicken is hatching for the first time this year." When Wu Qingquan came back from outside, he saw Helan squatting in front of the chicken coop, looking carefully, bright eyes, small nose, small mouth, the whole person was thin, and there was always a feeling of weakness, which was different from all the girls he had ever seen, so he would definitely not be able to do farm work in the future, and he didn't know what his brother thought.

"How do you know? Do you know it? ”

"Every year the tail of these chickens is a mark I make, if you are bored, you can play by yourself, I have to go into the house to learn."

"So conscious? Didn't your brother care? ”

After Helan finished speaking, she saw that the corners of Qingquan's mouth twitched a little, and she didn't understand this meaning very well.

In the past few days, he feels that Wu Qingzhu is still a very good person, and he is not light or serious when he speaks, and he is also comprehensive about himself.

"I won't tell you, let's play by myself." Wu Qingquan really didn't want to say bad things about his brother to this sister-in-law who didn't pass through the door. Think about my brother's stern face every time I accidentally fall asleep while reading a book and wake up again, it really has a shadow on myself.

Not only does my heart hurt from being scared, but my palms are also extremely painful! It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and his father has never beaten himself like this, and the elder brother is so ruthless!

Helan, who was more curious about what the ancient study was like, turned her head to look at the window of the study, and from her own angle, she could just see a wooden table in front of the wall, and a bench underneath, Wu Qingzhu sat upright on this bench, looking for a few books from time to time, as if he was looking for something. Suddenly, he looked up and frowned at the other side, said something, and began to be busy with his own affairs again.

looked at the closed door, it should be Wu Qingquan who had just entered and frowned when Wu Qingzhu made a noise. What Helan didn't know was that Wu Qingquan on the other side wanted to wail, God knows what his brother said just now? I suspected that I had heard it wrong.

Copy the Analects twice in their entirety, twenty chapters! 12,000 words! Finish it in four days! Is this intended to be abolished? Even the pen and paper were prepared for himself, his brother had planned it a long time ago!

Woohoo! If I don't run out in the morning, won't I copy it so many times?

As the author of this article, I am told that the cute little brother of Qingquan in this article will not be much better even if you don't run out in the morning, and your life may always be like this in the future. Turned into a soulless "printing press".
