Chapter 72
As I said a long time ago, fools are not guilty of beating people, and they are not illegal, if you are willing to work against me, then continue to come. I'm not afraid of yang or yin moves, and I can do it with kitchen knives and rolling pins.
After speaking, the kitchen knife in Su Jinyao's hand was raised violently and thrown out towards the third aunt's house. The kitchen knife is not a flying knife, but it was thrown by Su Jinyao's hand, and it flew into the yard quickly and violently, and it slashed at the door of the main house with a "bang".
The tip of the kitchen knife is more than an inch deep into the door panel, and it is estimated that the tip of the knife can be seen from the inside.
After speaking, the kitchen knife in Su Jinyao's hand was raised violently and thrown out towards the third aunt's house. The kitchen knife is not a flying knife, but it was thrown by Su Jinyao's hand, and it flew into the yard quickly and violently, and it slashed at the door of the main house with a "bang".
The tip of the kitchen knife is more than an inch deep into the door panel, and it is estimated that the tip of the knife can be seen from the inside.
Su Jinyao finished throwing off the kitchen knife, then patted the ash that didn't exist at all on her hand, turned around and pulled Xiaocheng'er back. It is estimated that after this time, the entire Pingshan Village will have to weigh the people who dare to move their Liu family.
Xiao Cheng'er was simply dumbfounded, and was pulled by Su Jinyao before coming back to his senses. Following Su Jinyao's side, she kept quietly asking, "Second sister and second sister, how did you practice the kung fu of flying knives in one hand?" When will you teach me too? ”
"Okay, the second sister will teach you when I go back." Su Jinyao touched Xiaocheng'er's head and didn't say no.
As long as Xiao Cheng'er can grasp the measure, it is nothing to ask him to make a few killing moves. What's more, in Su Jinyao's opinion, as long as Xiaocheng'er is taught well, not a thing in the pool, this skill is not pressing, and he has to be a civil and military all-rounder.
Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er had only walked a few steps, and they saw Chen Wuniu running over with a flat pole.
As soon as Chen Wuniu saw Su Jinyao, he frowned and came closer, and asked directly, "Jinyao, are you okay?" Why are you so reckless, tell Brother Wu Niu something, Brother Wu Niu will not let you suffer. ”
"It's fine. Brother Wu Niu, you are busy, Xiaocheng'er and I have to go up the mountain. Su Jinyao hurriedly shook her head and rejected Chen Wuniu's kindness. She understood Sophie's thoughts, and naturally she didn't want to have too much to do with Chen Wuniu, so as not to misunderstand.
But Chen Wuniu didn't pay any attention to Su Jinyao's deliberate avoidance thoughts, grabbed Su Jinyao's wrist with his big hand, and was about to turn back. said on the side: "Did Liu Dachun and Liu Dongmei bully you again?" Brother Wu Niu will give you anger now. Don't think that I, Chen Wuniu, am not often in the village, so they will always bully you. ”
"Chen Wuniu, let go." Su Jinyao drank coldly, and with a flip of her wrist, she shook off Chen Wuniu's big hand.
She doesn't reject the people of the Su family, it doesn't mean that she can accept others casually. Especially this kind of reckless physical touch, Su Jinyao couldn't accept it at all, so she naturally got rid of it mercilessly.
Chen Wuniu was slightly stunned, looked at Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, what's wrong?" Brother Wu Niu is well-intentioned and helps you get angry. Do you think Brother Wu Niu is back late? I went to the field in the morning, and as soon as I came back, I heard that you had arrived at your third aunt's house. ”
"It's not." Su Jinyao took two steps back and distanced herself from Chen Wuniu, so as not to let him pull him at will, before saying, "I know that Brother Wuniu is kind enough to help me, but this matter has been resolved." The matter between me and the third aunt's family can be regarded as over, and you don't need to come to the door again. ”
After a pause, Su Jinyao said again: "Brother Wu Niu, thank you for maintaining me for so many years. But I've grown up, and I'm not stupid anymore, so I can't always rely on your help, right? Don't worry, I won't lose. Also, my eldest sister is weak, but she has a good heart, and she is capable and virtuous, so you can help her more. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao took Xiao Cheng'er's hand and ran towards the mountain.
Chen Wuniu was stunned for a long time, vaguely understanding Jin Yao's rejection of him, and he felt very uncomfortable. But looking at the backs of Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er running away, the slender waist and the hair floating behind them were quite girlish, and she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth again, revealing a smile. said in his heart: Jin Yao, Brother Wu Niu knows that you have grown up and know how to be shy, but you and Brother Wu Niu don't need to be shy. Brother Wu Niu's thoughts about you have always been the same.
It wasn't until the backs of Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er were out of sight that Chen Wuniu went to Liu Wang's house again with a flat burden. He wanted to see how Liu Dongmei bullied Jinyao.
It's just that Chen Wuniu didn't expect that after walking through the crowd, he saw Liu Wang's family with his hair and Liu Dongmei with blood on his hands.
Looking at Liu Wang's house again, a bright kitchen knife was still inserted in the door panel, and everyone was still pointing at the kitchen knife, and kept talking about the stupid girl of Liu's family playing with the flying knife just now. It's like a commentary, and it's just vivid.
Chen Wuniu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, looked at the kitchen knife and then looked at Liu Wang and Liu Dongmei, and couldn't believe that the girl they said was Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao dragged Xiaocheng'er all the way up the mountain. originally planned to go home and talk about the situation, but when she met Chen Wuniu, Su Jinyao was afraid that he would follow, so she simply planned to follow Xiaocheng'er to Xiaoshuipu for a day. In this way, even if Chen Wuniu came home again, he would meet Sophie, and he could let him and Sophie talk a few more words.
Because of the commotion at the third aunt's house, the time is not early. Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er hurriedly filled the bamboo tube with water, and then carried it over the mountain to the road together.
From a distance, I saw that there were already people sitting under the small bamboo shed. Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er were stunned, I don't know why today's business is so good? And the guests are older than their siblings?
Getting closer, Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er were even more surprised. Because the guest who came was still an "acquaintance", that is, Su Jinyao brought Xiaocheng here on the first day to learn to do business, the capable man who wore blue clothes and rode a flower puma. At that time, the man said that he was hungry and ate the buns that their brother and sister used as lunch, but instead of giving a penny, he carried a good meal.
Goodbye today, the man is still dressed in plain blue clothes, but with a little less dust and more capability. I don't think I'm here in a hurry, but I look like I'm wandering here.
When Su Jinyao saw this master at that time, she felt in her heart that it should not be an ordinary businessman or merchant in a hurry. Looking at it now, I am even more sure that the other party is an official figure. It's just that this person has always been a loner, and he has no entourage, he should be a military attache or a steward, but he can't be an official.
Su Jinyao walked over with a smile, put down the bamboo tube on her shoulder, and asked, "Big brother, it's early, we met again." Do you want to drink water today? Or eat steamed buns? ”
"Haha, all of them are here, forget if you don't." The lean man smiled heartily, and his voice was also loud.
Su Jinyao poured a glass of water, delivered it to the man, and said, "My sister and brother came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring food. Isn't it a little late, and you have to make the guests wait, so ask the eldest brother to drink a glass of water to quench your thirst. ”
"Haha, it's easy to say. This water is also good water. The man said, drank all the water in the bamboo cup, and then looked at the small bamboo shed, and said, "I can't imagine that such a simple little shed looks a lot more aura because of the addition of your sister and brother." ”
"Big brother praised. How can our children in the mountains have any aura, just simple. And then it's just to make a living, and it's all about enthusiasm that is full of satisfaction. Su Jinyao said, adding water to the bamboo cup in the man's hand.
This time, he took the water poured by Su Jinyao again, and the man drank it slowly, as if he was savoring. Then he asked: "Do I still remember, last time you said that this small water shop doesn't need money to drink water, just a reward?" Is it still a reward? ”
"yes, that's one of the features of the shop. In the future, there will be more guests, and being able to come in and sit down is also to increase our popularity. The reward given by the guests is also based on their mood, and they dare not ask for more, but only for food and clothing. Su Jinyao said gently.
"Well, the little girl is really good at talking. And it's not pretentious, it's not pretending to be high. After the man finished speaking, he looked at the small city that had been washing the bamboo cup and placing the bamboo tube next to him, and beckoned: "Boy, come here." ”
"Hey, here we are. Hello big brother, is there something wrong? "The town is very polite, and it's not the same cramped as when I first came here.
The man looked at Su Jinyao, then at Xiaocheng'er, and said, "The last time I fought this, I was deeply impressed by your two sisters and brothers. It's a fate to meet again this time. However, there is still no reward, just a message for you, do you want it? ”
Xiaocheng'er doesn't quite understand, can this news be regarded as a reward? To be or not to be? looked at Su Jinyao.
How smart is Su Jinyao's mind? immediately nodded and thanked, and said, "The eldest brother is not an ordinary person at first glance, and this news must not be ordinary news." The little girl doesn't seek wealth and wealth, but only a way out, big brother, please say it. ”
"Oh, it's not easy, little girl, before I opened my mouth, you knew that what I was going to send you was a way out?" The man smiled and didn't continue, but turned the small bamboo cup in his hand and asked Xiao Cheng'er: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Cheng Liang." It's much older than you, don't call it big brother in the future, call it Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang asked you, are you literate? Do you want to read? ”
When Xiao Cheng'er heard this question, he immediately nodded and said, "Of course I want to study." I am also literate, but I have just started learning, so I don't know many words. But the second sister said that she would teach me more to read and write. I also learned to memorize the three-character scripture today. ”
Zhang Chengliang nodded, turned to look at Su Jinyao, and said, "The second sister he said taught him to read and write, is it you?" ”
"Well, my mother taught me." Su Jinyao had to throw the problem to their mother again. Anyway, now that my mother has passed away, no one has checked it correctly.
Zhang Chengliang nodded and said, "It's a pity, you are a female doll and can't enter the school." The news I'm going to tell you has to do with the Academy. The magistrate loves the people wholeheartedly, and wants to give you children from poor families a way out and set up a government-run school. There is no tuition fee, and you can still send it to take the exam in the future, if you really have the opportunity to make a name for yourself, it will be a major event for the glory of the ancestors. I saw that your brother and sister were so beautiful, so I thought I would ask you to take your brother to sign up. If you can pass the exam, you can go to the school in the town. If you have good grades, you can send them directly to the city, and after that, you may be able to enter Beijing. ”
Hearing the news, Su Jinyao's heart was overjoyed. At the same time, he thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang." I really didn't expect such good news, Uncle Zhang, you are our nobleman. This news simply gave our family a way out, and when my brother became a talent, he wouldn't have to nest in this ravine. ”
Zhang Chengliang nodded and said, "It's good to have such thoughts, but it depends on your own ability." If you have the opportunity, you have to learn hard. Moreover, this government-run school is not as good as its own private school, and the gentlemen who teach are very knowledgeable and strict, and if they are really not good enough, they will drop out. The school will not ask students to mix and eat. ”
"I know, I know, my brother is also very sensible, he will cherish this opportunity." Su Jinyao hurriedly nodded, pulled Xiao Cheng'er, and said, "Xiao Cheng'er, stupid?" Hurry up and thank Uncle Zhang. ”
Xiao Cheng'er really didn't react, after all, he was still a child, and when he was happy, he forgot to thank him. Listening to Su Jinyao's urging, he hurriedly bent down to salute, and said vigorously: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang, thank you, Uncle Zhang." I forgot about it as soon as I was happy, but it wasn't rude. I'm looking forward to studying hard, and I want to be the top student in the future. ”
Xiao Cheng'er really didn't expect that he would carry it with his eldest sister in the morning, and he would really have such an opportunity at this time.
Zhang Chengliang touched Xiao Cheng'er's head with a smile and said, "It's good to have a heart." I'm just telling you the news, the registration time is on the tenth day of the next month, I'm afraid you don't know and miss it. If it's really a pillar of talent, wouldn't it be a pity to bury it? However, I'm just sending a message, and I can't help you with the specific exams. This ravine is one after another, and there are many children from poor families, and they all want to go to this free government school, I can't take too much care of you behind my back, and it's not good to tell others like this. ”
"We know." Of course, Su Jinyao understands that she is not related to her, and it is already a great favor to be willing to tell them the news. Of course, I don't expect Zhang Chengliang to be able to send Xiaocheng'er directly in.
And Su Jinyao understands that although such an opportunity is said to be for the children of poor families, those who can really go to it may not be the children of poor families. There must be someone behind the scenes who has already taken up all the places, and they will have to work hard to get such an opportunity for Xiaocheng'er.
"Okay, the news has been brought, the water has been drunk, it's time for me to go." Zhang Chengliang stood up, drank the water in his hand, waved his hand at Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er, and rode away on his horse.
It wasn't until Zhang Chengliang walked away that Xiaocheng'er came back to his senses. He pulled Su Jinyao again and asked, "Second sister, do you say that what Uncle Zhang said is true?" Can I really go to the school in town? Will you be able to study in the city in the future? ”
"It must be true, I knew as soon as I saw him that he was not an ordinary person. However, don't think too well about Xiaocheng'er, although there is such an opportunity, it is also said to be for the children of our poor families, but it has always been human affection and relationship that take precedence. It is estimated that some people have already had a plan in their hearts and have done things behind their backs. So we're going to have to plan carefully. In addition, there is still a lot of money to prepare. ”
Su Jinyao didn't want to talk about money to Xiaocheng'er, but if she thought about it again, this is the helplessness and sophistication of life, which can never be avoided. Xiaocheng'er can't be kept in an ivory tower without experiencing these things, so it is also an experience for him to realize some inequality things earlier.
Of course, Xiao Cheng'er couldn't understand, so he just nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "As long as the second sister says, I will do it." If I am admitted, I will study hard and study hard. Let our family glorify our ancestors. ”
The good news brought by Zhang Chengliang made Xiaocheng'er happy all day, and it was also very enthusiastic to entertain future guests. As a result, the guests were in a better mood and naturally gave more rewards. When they collected the stall and counted the money, there were fifty-two Wen, which was the best day of business since they opened a small water shop.
"Second sister, look, isn't the money coming?" Xiao Cheng'er weighed the small money bag, feeling that it contained all his hopes.
Su Jinyao was also happy for Xiaocheng'er, and while packing up her things, she said, "I will sign up on the tenth day of the first month of next month, and now it's the end of the month." After ten days of hard work, we have to work harder. Don't be robbed of the opportunity by others because your family is poor. ”
Xiao Cheng'er also laughed, and then the two sisters and brothers carried the bamboo tube over the mountain, still putting the things back in their place, and ready to go home.
After going down the mountain, Su Jinyao remembered that there should be no rice at home. I only bought two catties of rice before, and I must have finished eating, so I asked Xiaocheng'er: "I will go to Aunt Li's house to buy rice and vegetables, will you follow me, or will you go home first?" ”
"I'll go home. Take a look at helping the eldest sister, and then carry it out for the father to let him bask in the sun. After Xiao Cheng'er finished speaking, he handed the small money bag he was carrying to Su Jinyao, turned around and walked home.
Su Jinyao walked to Aunt Li's house. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Chun Niu coming out of it, her eyes were a little red, and she seemed to be crying.
Su Jinyao remembered that Chunniu said that she wanted to be friends with her, but she had been busy for the past two days, and she didn't even see her, so she simply asked with concern: "Chunniu, what's wrong?" ”
When Chun Niu saw that it was Su Jinyao, she barely squeezed out a smile, glanced back, shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the soil was blown into her eyes when she picked vegetables." After speaking, he asked Su Jinyao again: "You came to buy vegetables?" ”
"Well, I also buy rice, and I also buy vegetables." Su Jinyao said, looked at Chunniu's face again, and still felt that she was about to cry.
But Chun Niu didn't say it herself, and she couldn't help it. You can't chase people and ask. This is also considered **.
Su Jinyao was about to enter the hospital, when another man came out and almost collided with Su Jinyao.
