Chapter 82: The Charcoal Basin

"Big brother! Don't you know that Uncle is very talented in reading? I asked the master before, although there have always been prodigies, but it is very rare for someone like Uncle to read so many books for nearly three years. Compared with your uncle, don't you want to find yourself uncomfortable? Eldest brother! People are sometimes incomparable. ”

Although Erlang smiled, if he looked closely, there was no smile in his eyes. Of course, it can't be compared, some people are born and are pampered. is like an uncle, no matter how poor the family was in the past few years, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but what about them? What kind of life did they live? Even the opportunity to study seems to have been given to them by him.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Erlang deeply, he was sure that he was not sowing discord? Or is it a blow to Da Lang's confidence and wants him to collapse? Sometimes he thinks that Erlang's mind in the past two years is as deep as his second brother, and Erlang used to just like some small calculations, but in the past two years, it may be that after reading books, Erlang's mind is more alive.

Did Jiro think that no one knew what he was thinking? He thinks everyone in his family is stupid?

"It's not right for Erlang to say that, three points of study depend on talent, and seven points depend on diligence. As long as you work hard, success is only a matter of time. You only know that I have read these books, but you do not see my diligence. Da Lang, you have to have confidence in yourself, don't think nonsense, as long as you still want to study, I'll tell you Dad. Gu Chengyu stood up and patted Da Lang's shoulder and comforted.

Although Gu Chengyu is six years younger than Da Lang, Gu Chengyu's height has reached Da Lang's chin, Da Lang may not have eaten well when he was a child, so his stature is not very tall, but he is no longer short in the same age, this is the inheritance of the Gu family, because the Gu family is tall.

Gu Chengyu said this on purpose, he knew Daddy Gu, in fact, Daddy Gu had already made up his mind to let Erlang continue to read, and Da Lang ......

When Erlang heard this, his face was a little ugly, his hands clenched into fists, and he glared at Gu Chengyu vaguely.

Erlang did it hidden, but Gu Chengyu, who was watching Erlang with his spare eyes, had already seen this scene.

He knew what Erlang meant, Daddy Gu said that he would only let him read for three years, but if he reads well, he can continue to read. Jiro thinks that he can read better than Dalang and Saburo, and this opportunity is unique to him. But he was afraid of what happened, so he often hit Da Lang, and wanted Da Lang to give up automatically, after all, Da Lang couldn't read as well as him, didn't he?

Actually, Da Lang, will you not want to study? Gu Chengyu shook his head, no longer thinking about this, whether Da Lang wants to study or not, it is his own choice, not to mention that there are sisters in the big room, they are probably looking forward to it!

Erlang remembered that his father said that if you want to get ahead, you have to seize every opportunity. In the past two years, he has felt more and more that what his father said was right.

"Uncle is really modest. Eldest brother! If you still don't understand something, just ask Uncle, let's go to Wenshu. Erlang smiled and pulled the dazed Saburo back to his own bookcase.

Just ask! Ask every day! It's best to ask the uncle if he doesn't have time to read, and when it comes to the exam, see how arrogant he is.

Jiro's hand holding the brush swiped heavily on the paper, and he snorted coldly in his heart.

"Uncle! I'm going to read the book first, you can read the book quickly! Da Lang took the book and returned to his seat.

Holding the book in front of him, Da Lang actually couldn't read a word. He didn't tell anyone, in fact, he didn't like to read, he didn't dare to say it. He was afraid that he finally had such an opportunity, and he read half of it but didn't want to read it, so how disappointed would they be?

So he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, his qualifications were not good, and if he wasn't diligent, it would be even more hopeless. But the more he held the book, the more he couldn't read it, he was so tired, and sometimes he really wanted to rest.

Now the life of the family is much better than before, he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and he does not have to get up early and work greedily at night, he is very content. He also knows that the opportunity to study is not easy to come by, and he cherishes it too.

Da Lang held the book, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time. For a while, I thought about studying hard and living up to my parents' expectations; After a while, he thought about what he wanted to do if he could choose not to study.

The winter nights were especially cold, and Lu was afraid that Gu Chengyu would freeze when he was reading in the study, so he lit a charcoal basin in the house. The carbon in the pot is just ordinary charcoal, and it will inevitably smell a little smoke when burned. Gu Chengyu usually doesn't light it, he would rather consume his internal strength and keep himself warm than smell the choking smell of smoke.

Therefore, this charcoal basin is usually placed on Dalang's side, and their bookcase is closer to the door, and the cold wind pours in, which is really too cold. And with the wind, the smell of smoke in the charcoal basin can also be blown away, and the smell of smoke is not too heavy, and it can also be warmed. There is not much space in his room, and if the window is closed, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be poisoned.

"Little treasure! Why are you reading so late today? Lu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Lu Shi came to the door of the study with a plate of plum blossom cakes, and she saw that Gu Chengyu hadn't gone back to sleep so late. Knowing that Gu Chengyu was reading in the study, he brought pastries and wanted Gu Chengyu to cushion his stomach.

Lu Shi pushed the door and found that the three brothers of Dalang had not left today, and their faces were a little heavy. Look at it again, the charcoal basin is actually in the big house, and the cubicle of Xiaobao, isn't there no charcoal basin?

"Mother! Why are you here? I'll practice calligraphy for a while, and I'll be back in the house right away. It's cold outside, you come in. Gu Chengyu heard Lu's voice, put down the brush, and walked out of the compartment.

"This charcoal basin is for you? What's up? Didn't your master teach you to honor your elders? Your uncle is cold in the room, but you are enjoying happiness here, whose rule is this? Reading all the books into the dog's belly? ”

Lu's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he pointed at Da Lang and the three of them and scolded, she was not there, her family's Xiaobao was bullied by them like this?

The three of Da Lang were stunned by this sudden abuse, and they were all stunned.

Gu Chengyu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Mother! I asked them to put this charcoal basin here, and I smelled it and wanted to cough, so I gave it to Da Lang and them. ”

"Why are you still coughing? As I said, this carbon is not good carbon, what good carbon can you buy so cheaply? Your dad just can't bear it. As soon as Lu heard that his son disliked the heavy smell of charcoal smoke and felt uncomfortable in his throat, he no longer forced his son to use it, but his son didn't use it, so it couldn't be cheap for those little cubs.

"Then don't buy it next time, my mother will ask your father to buy you something better." The Lu family was afraid that his son would be cold, and he planned to buy silver frost charcoal next time.

Gu Chengyu didn't say no, after all, he didn't need it, but Dalang and they were cold.

"Little treasure! Reading it so late, you're hungry, right? Eat some plum blossom cake to cushion your stomach, which my mother bought in the town today. Lu Shi was dragged into the inner room by Gu Chengyu, looking at the books piled up on his son's desk, he immediately felt distressed, such a small baby, it was really hard to read so many books.

"Why do you see that you have lost weight? Ming'er Niang will kill a chicken for you to make up for it, study and brain, how can you not eat more good food? Lu Shi touched Gu Chengyu's head distressedly, his eyes full of love.

"Mother! Where did I lose weight? Look I'm still getting fat! You don't have to kill the chickens, the chickens have to be kept to lay eggs. I'll rest after writing here, so let's rest early! It's weirdly cold today. Gu Chengyu pinched the flesh on his cheek and said to Lu.
