Immediately, Lu Yu smiled again and said, "Although this is the case, you still have to apologize to her first." ”

Lu Yu said: "This is her fault, the little girl has a big temper, didn't you just disturb the two of them whispering, as for being so angry?" ”

"yes, I don't understand, why does she lose her temper."

Immediately, Lu Yu smiled again and said, "Although this is the case, you still have to apologize to her first." ”

Yan Xiding looked suspicious and shouted, "Brother Da Yu, are you mistaken?" Mr. Lan Shaofang was angry, and he hit me with lotus leaves, why do you want me to apologize? ”

"Because you're a boy and she's a girl."

"Cut, she has more strength than me, and she is better than me, why should I apologize to her because I am a man."

Lu Yu scratched his head and said, "Actually, I don't understand what this reason is. But Xi Ding thinks about it, even if you apologize, you won't be harmed, but the result is to get you and Shaofang back together, don't you think it's worth it? ”

"No, I don't apologize because I did nothing wrong."

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Okay, you'll understand later." He knew that Yan Xiding couldn't listen to a lot of truth now, so he simply didn't bother to tell him.

Lu Yu moved a chair to go back to the house, and Yan Xiding suddenly asked him in the back: "Brother Da Yu, do you say that Shaofang will not talk to me in the future?" ”

"What's wrong? Scared? ”

Yan Xiding showed a rare expression, he nodded, and said very frustratedly: "I'm afraid that she will get angry and ignore me anymore." ”

Lu Yu smiled: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

"Really? How do you know? ”

"Girls get angry sometimes, but you know, she doesn't get angry with everyone." Lu Yu also figured it out for a while, and continued: "It's like Shaofang, she will lose her temper with you because you upset her. And other people, like me, even if they talk about her and make her unhappy, she won't get angry with me, right? ”

Yan Xi thought for a while, and then said, "What you said seems to make sense. His tone was a little lighter.

"It's not a little reasonable, it's very reasonable."

"And why is that?"

Lu Yu said: "Because your relationship with her is different." Only if Shaofang loses her temper with you, it will make you sad for a long time, if it is your sister who loses her temper with you, will you be so sad? ”

"No, I won't."

"That's it, you get it, right?"

Yan Xiding finally showed a smile and said, "It seems to understand." ”

"Well, next time I see her, I'll apologize to her."

"I don't apologize, I didn't do anything wrong."

……

Lu Yu originally planned to go to the city again in two days to ask if Yan Jibai would like to come to the village to teach the children to read. For he had been ploughing the fields in the valley for the past two days, and he had forgotten about his trip to the city. One day, while having breakfast, Yan Xiding reminded him that it was time to go to the city.

Lu Yu then remembered that he was going to Yan's house, and then said that he would go after breakfast.

Yan Xiding said that he was going too.

Lu Yu was about to ask him why he was going, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that Yan Xiding had a "quarrel" with Lan Shaofang a few days ago, and he was going to find someone to reconcile.

So Lu Yu asked Yan Xiding: "After thinking about it, do you want to apologize?" ”

"It's not an apology, Shao Fang is definitely not angry now, maybe he doesn't remember what happened that day." Yan Xiding said: "I just want to go home and have a look." ”

"What's so good, I picked up your parents and parents, didn't Shaofang come with me."

"I'm not apologizing." Yan Xiding still couldn't hide his careful thinking after all, and said: "My father hasn't agreed to come yet, you don't take me there, what if they don't come?" ”

Lu Yu said: "It will definitely come." ”

After breakfast, Lu Yu passed to Jinhua City and went to Yan's house.

After all, Lu Yu is someone's "future son-in-law", and it is inconvenient to directly ask the "father-in-law" if he is willing to go to the village to teach. Fortunately, Mrs. Yan was also there, and she said to Lu Yu: "Your uncle has been thinking about it for a few days, and I think it's okay to go to the village." ”

"That's good." Lu Yu was also very happy in his heart, not only for himself, but also for the sake of the children in the village, he said: "I have to thank my uncle in advance for the people in the village." ”

"Thank you." Mrs. Yan suppressed her voice again and said, "Anyway, he's fine at home, and he's stuffy, so it's better to teach the children, which can be regarded as moving his muscles." ”

Lu Yu smiled, not daring to echo his "mother-in-law's" words.

Mrs. Yan said, "Although I promised to go, he still has some requirements. ”

Lu Yu asked what the request was, and Mrs. Yan said that Yan Jibai promised to go to the village, but he needed the village to arrange a place for him to live, and this time he went, so he would not live at Lu Yu's house.

Lu Yu wanted to ask what the truth was, but after thinking about it, he understood a little. Mrs. Yan also said that the tuition fee can be waived, but the village has to take care of it three times a day.

Lu Yu felt that this request was very reasonable, and even a little generous. And even if no one takes care of the food, Lu Yu can't let Yan Jibai starve, which is not a big deal.

So it was decided, and the Bai family went back with Lu Yu and waited for the opening of the school in the village.

He said that the students need regular vacations, and when the students are on vacation, he can also go home, so this time he will go to Yangshan Village again, and he will not have to pack too many things.

Back in Yangshan Village in the afternoon, the villagers didn't know that they had come in vain.

stayed at Lu Yu's house for one night, and when I had breakfast the next day, someone came over, a large group of people, adults and children. Of course, these children came to pay homage to Mr., and their parents brought their children with gifts. Lu Yu glanced at it, almost all the children in Yangshan Village came, the eldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was Lu Di's daughter, three years old.

Lu Yu and they hadn't finished breakfast yet, and the villagers were very polite today, so they all stood outside the door and didn't dare to come in.

Yan Yubai was very calm, finished breakfast calmly, and went to wash up again.

Lu Yu quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, asked Yan Xi'an and them to clean the house a little, and went to move a few chairs by himself. Lu Yu has read books, worshipped Mr., and knows the etiquette procedures of worshipping Mr.

After washing, Yan Yubai changed into a moon-white robe, and then sat generously on the chair in the center of Lu Yutang's house.

Lu Yu went out and said to the group of people that they could go in and worship Mr. now.

There are two ways to worship Mr. Bow, one is to say four rites: the student should first dress properly, then bow to the teacher, then clean the hands and heart, and finally the teacher will use cinnabar for the student to open the mind. This process is called "opening a book" or "breaking learning", and it is also called "breaking the mystery". The other is the six rites, which does not mean that there are six procedures for worshipping the teacher, but that there are six kinds of gifts to the master: "celery", "lotus seeds", "red beans", "red dates", "longan" and "dried lean pork strips".

The children in the countryside are very different from those in the city, they don't have the same neat clothes, and they can't take out the six gifts of apprenticeship, so the parents of each child can only say that they try to dress up as neatly as possible, and carry the good things they can take out at home.

The adults did not go in and told the children to come into the house with gifts. Lu Di's daughter was too young to lift a bamboo basket, so Yan Xi'an took her and carried the basket in.

Mr. Bai needs someone to preside, and of course the person who presides over can't be in vain.

Fang Daping entered the room, arranged for the children to stand tall and short, and then said respectfully to Yan Jibai: "Please Mr. dress up for the students." ”

Yan Yubai stood up, nodded to Fang Daping, and said to the students: "From today on, you are my students. I hope that in the future, you will behave like your shirt and crown on your crown, dignified and neat. After saying that, he took matters into his own hands and sorted out the clothes, shoes and hats for this group of children one by one.

After the "proper dress" has passed, and then the worship ceremony is performed. The apprenticeship ceremony needs to go to the school, so Fang Daping led Yan Jibai, followed by a group of more than a dozen children and their families, and went to the compound in Yangshan Village.

The yard has long been cleaned up, and the inside is clean and almost new.

The largest room in the middle of the compound was originally a storehouse for the common things of the village, but now the miscellaneous things in it have been emptied, and there is an additional Taishi chair and a dozen stools of uneven height.

Yan Jibai walked in the front, walked into the school with a serious expression, and sat down on the Taishi chair.

Fang Daping asked the children to stand in the school, and then shouted: "The students bow to the teacher." ”

The children didn't know what to do, but fortunately, each of them was very obedient, and under the guidance of Fang Daping, they first kowtowed to the six heavens and the earth, and then kowtowed to Mr. San.

After the worship, it's the step of giving gifts. The gift was taken to Lu Yu's house and brought to this compound, but now it is only time to dedicate it to Mr.

The six rites are also the six gifts given to Mr. by the folk students when they worship the teacher, namely, celery: the meaning is diligent and studious, and the industry is good at diligence; Lotus seed: Lotus seed is bitter, meaning painstaking education; Red beans: meaning red luck; Red dates: meaning early in high school; Longan: It means the perfection of merit; Strips of dried lean meat: to express the disciple's heart. Celery, red dates and red beans are easy to get, but dried meat is not easy to do, and longan and lotus seeds are very rare things in Yangshan Village. Of course, no one could make up these six things, but that didn't matter, Yan Jibai didn't even bother to see what was in the basket.

The last two steps are hand cleansing, meditation, and cinnabar enlightenment. Clean hands and meditate to say white point, that is, wash the hands of the students in vain, fill the white porcelain basin with water, wash the hands of each child, and wash the back of the hand and the palm of the hand.

The importance of cinnabar enlightenment is very rare in the countryside, and Lu Yu did not experience this when he worshiped Mr.

But Yan Jibai actually prepared cinnabar and a pen, dipped the brush in the adjusted cinnabar, and nodded a little on the student's forehead and eyebrows in turn. This is called cinnabar spot mole, and "mole" has the same sound as "wisdom", which means to open wisdom and brighten the eyes and heart.

After ordering the mole, the students bowed to Yan Jibai three times, and the apprenticeship was completed.
