Chapter 3: Clever as a bow and as an arrow
When I entered the school, there were already students reading in the morning.
Someone is holding a book and shaking his head when he reads it.
Someone took the pancake and gnawed it vigorously.
Someone is holding a brush and playing with each other.
The first time Zhang Xiaolei entered the school, he felt fresh when he saw everything, and couldn't help but ask Zhao He: "Why do they have to shake their heads when they read?" ”
Zhao He said: "You don't get sleepy when you study like this. ”
Zhang Xiaolei suddenly realized.
"."
A ring ruler suddenly hit Zhao He's skull.
Zhang Xiaolei looked back and saw an old man standing behind him.
He blew his beard and said, "Shaking your head is to match the rhythm of reading." Do you hear everything you listen to in class? ”
Zhao He touched his head and said yes resignedly.
Zhang Xiaolei saw that this was Mr., and hurriedly said: "Hello sir, I am Zhang Xiaolei, Zhao Gongzi's companion." I hope my husband can teach me some words so that I can learn. ”
"What cats and dogs, they are all embarrassed to come to me to learn...... the old man glared, "just a mere person, you still want to listen to me to learn?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei took out the silver given by Li Fengwu from his baggage, and whispered, "Please take care of Mr." ”
The old man didn't raise his eyelids, he put away the silver tael, and said without changing his face: "Although cats and dogs can't come to learn at will, it's a good thing to be willing to learn." How can I turn a blind eye to a student in front of me who is eager to learn? You go and sit down first, and I'll come back later. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Zhang Xiaolei hurriedly walked in and sat down, and took out the book that Li Fengwu gave him.
The gentleman instructed the students to read early, and then sat next to Zhang Xiaolei and patiently taught him to read.
The gentleman of the school is an old talent, at least the students in the school call him that.
Lao Xiucai likes to eat tea, and when the students are studying, he sits at the door, holding a cup of tea, and takes a sip from time to time.
Zhang Xiaolei noticed that he likes to eat strong tea.
With each sip, there will be many tea leaves in the mouth.
At this time, Lao Xiucai will chew the tea slowly, and when his mouth is bitter, he will spit the tea back into the teapot.
Then, take another sip, chew for a while, and spit it back.
Zhang Xiaolei didn't like to sit next to Lao Xiucai, he felt a little disgusting to look at.
Lao Xiucai watched Zhang Xiaolei learn and practice calligraphy seriously, and he was a little relieved. Touching the silver in his arms, he suddenly felt more relieved.
Every time Zhang Xiaolei learns a word, he will first write it down more than a dozen times.
As he wrote, he suddenly raised his head and asked Lao Xiucai, "Can you become a smart person after reading a book?" ”
"I can't." Lao Xiucai said.
"Why not? I've heard that people who read are amazing. ”
Lao Xiucai put down the teacup and said softly: "Familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, it is not good to live in this year." ”
"But my husband sent me to be literate, and he was a smart man. If reading is not beneficial, why did he send me? ”
"Does your husband want you to read it well?"
"No, he wants me to read."
Lao Xiucai said: "Reading can't make you smarter, but it can give full play to your intelligence." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Wisdom is innate, like a bow; And the knowledge gained from reading is like a bow and arrow. Some people have bows, but they don't. There are those who have bows and arrows, but they can't pull them. ”
Zhang Xiaolei didn't seem to understand.
He studied calligraphy seriously, and Lao Xiucai leaned against the door frame, squinting his eyes slightly.
This Zhang Xiaolei looked poor and sour, but his serious strength really threw out the others.
At this time, Lao Xiucai suddenly remembered that he was studying back then.
He was also so poor that year, secretly hiding outside the school to listen to the lecture.
Thanks to the kindness of his teacher, he let him come in and listen to the lecture for free.
After studying all morning, Lao Xiucai ordered everyone to go back.
Zhang Xiaolei reluctantly put away the book, he still wanted to write for a while, but unfortunately he still had something to do.
The so-called business is to get closer to Zhao He.
The only way to return to Zhao's house from the school has been arranged by Li Fengwu.
When he goes back later, Zhang Xiaolei will stage a play to save Zhao He.
In this way, Zhao He will be closer to him.
He packed up his things and walked out of the school with Zhao He.
As soon as the two of them came out, Shao Xiaoling suddenly ran from behind and pushed Zhang Xiaolei.
Zhang Xiaolei stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
He turned around and said angrily, "What are you pushing me for!" ”
Shao Xiaoling waved her fist and responded, "I'm willing!" ”
Zhang Xiaolei scolded: "Crazy woman! ”
"Dead poor ghost!"
"Crazy woman!"
"Dead poor ghost!"
"Forget it...... Zhao He persuaded as he took out some broken silver and handed it to Shao Xiaoling, "Give me a thin noodle, forget it." ”
Shao Xiaoling took the broken silver from his hand and muttered, "I'm not one of those people who robbed you of your money, what are you giving me money for?" ”
Zhao He said: "Let you calm your anger." ”
"Give me money to calm my anger?"
"Yes."
"You've always been so angry?"
"Yes."
Shao Xiaoling sneered, she pointed at Zhao He and said, "I have heard that your father has no eggs, and the ancestral tomb smokes to give birth to a son like you." As a result, it seems that your family is definitely going to die, how can the ancestral tomb smoke smoke twice in a row? ”
Zhao He was abused by Shao Xiaoling, and he didn't feel angry.
Compared with other people's insults, Shao Xiaoling is quite polite.
He's used to it.
Shao Xiaoling smashed the broken silver on Zhang Xiaolei's body and sneered: "You wait, there will be a day when you cry." ”
Zhang Xiaolei wanted to snort, but remembering Li Fengwu's reprimand last time, he couldn't help it.
Seeing Shao Xiaoling swaggering away, Zhao He hurriedly picked up the broken silver from the ground and said with a smile: "It's really good, I saved a lot of money." ”
"I kind of understand, why do people always bully you......" Zhang Xiaolei sighed, "Do you just let people insult you at will?" ”
Zhao He said: "What's the matter? A few words of scolding will not be a piece of meat, if I am in a hurry, others will start beating me. ”
Zhang Xiaolei rolled his eyes and said, "That's it, I don't bother to care, let's go back." ”
He subconsciously walked to the left, but Zhao He suddenly said, "Don't take this road." ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaolei was stunned: "Why?" This is the way to go back to Zhao's house, right? ”
Zhao He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said, "Let's go to the other side, I don't want to go back for the time being, it's still early anyway." ”
Zhang Xiaolei was anxious when he heard this.
If you don't go this way, isn't Li Fengwu arranged in vain?
But he couldn't force himself to walk to the left, otherwise it would arouse Zhao He's suspicion.
He had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”
Zhao He smiled, he returned to the school, put down his burden for the time being, and suddenly began to tidy up his clothes, and brushed his hair.
Zhang Xiaolei looked inexplicable, what is this kid going to do?
