The neighboring village, that is, Dahuaishu Village, is larger than Hexi Village, and the population is larger, so it naturally looks richer.

Mr. Su's home is not difficult to find, in order to open a primary school, the Su family specially built a house at the west entrance of the village, and the house and the school are next to each other, which is also more convenient.

Because Mr. Su's cold has not been cured, the primary school will only reopen tomorrow, and there are no students studying at this time, and the door of the school is also closed.

The siblings bypassed the school to the courtyard at the back of the house and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by an old woman in her forties, dressed in burlap and wearing an apron, who looked like an old servant.

"Who are you looking for?" The old servant asked.

"We came to Mr. Su, I came here in the middle of the dark yesterday, and Mr. said to come back today." Shen Xiangmiao responded politely.

"Oh, I remember, you were the girl from yesterday, and I was washing dishes in the stove room yesterday, and I heard your voice." The old servant laughed and opened the door completely: "Come in, just be quiet, Madame has not slept well in the past few days, and she is resting at this time." ”

"Okay." Shen Xiangmiao nodded, pulled the iron egg and walked in lightly.

Closing the door, the old servant led Shen Xiangmiao to the east wing: "You rest here for a while, I'll call Mr." ”

"Thank you." Shen Xiangmiao thanked her.

The old servant went for a while, and when he came back, he was still alone, with two more cups of tea in his hand, and placed them on the round table: "Sir happens to have something to do, I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer." ”

"It's okay, let's just wait." Shen Xiangmiao said she didn't care.

"Okay, you sit down for a while, I'll clean up the academy, the students will come to class tomorrow." The old servant had a smile on his face and a respectful attitude.

"You're busy, we'll just wait here." Shen Xiangmiao also responded politely.

After the old servant left, there were only two sisters and brothers left in the room, sitting upright on the round stool, bowing their heads from time to time and whispering some whispers.

Time is passing, the tea in the cup has already been drunk cleanly, about half an hour has passed, Mr. Su still did not appear, and the old servant of Fang Cai is now gone.

Another cup of tea has passed.

Shen Xiangmiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yesterday evening, she specially came to ask Mr. Su when he was free to see if Tie Dan could go to school, and Mr. Su set the time for today's application, and now the sister and brother are also going to the appointment on time, but they don't see Mr. Su's figure.

In this way, it is indeed very strange.

According to my first impression of Mr. Su yesterday, he was completely an elegant bachelor, although he seemed to have a little temper, he should not be an unpunctual person.

Shen Xiangmiao couldn't figure out why Mr. Su hadn't appeared yet.

Tie Dan was still sitting upright on the round stool, although there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead and his cheeks were red because of the hot weather, but his face did not show impatience.

It's just that the round stool is higher, and Tie Dan is now a six-year-old child, sitting on it with a straight waist, but his feet can't reach the ground, which is very uncomfortable, but Tie Dan gritted his teeth and didn't show his discomfort.

"Tiedan, why don't you come down and stand for a while." Shen Xiangmiao felt sorry for Tie Dan and motioned for him to come down and rest for a while.

Tie Dan got off the round stool, moved his hands and feet, and suddenly made a bitter face: "I don't think it, I feel that my arms and legs are stiff at this moment." ”

"I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, why don't you come down earlier?"

"I'm here today to see my husband to study, naturally I want to behave better, if I walk around at will, won't it make my husband feel that I am impetuous, and it is difficult to calm down and study?" Tie Dan replied seriously.

Shen Xiangmiao was stunned.

I usually feel that Tie Dan is young, but now he seems to be mature and stable, so he laughed: "Walk around the house at will, as long as you don't flip things at will, it's okay to think about it." ”

It's good to be mature and steady, but Shen Xiangmiao doesn't want her young brother to be sensible too early, not to mention the old-fashioned, and even less childlike fun.

Iron Egg nodded, pacing back and forth in the room, looking at the furnishings.

This is an ordinary room, I think it is used to read and practice calligraphy on weekdays, on the left is the bookshelf, on which some books and porcelain vases and other decorations are placed, and on the right side is a long case, on which the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available, it seems, there is a half-written paper.

Tie Dan suddenly became interested, and he wanted to see what kind of writing the gentleman who was going to teach him to read in the future, so he walked over to see what kind of writing he would practice writing on weekdays.

The desk was three feet tall, and the iron egg was short, so he had to stand on tiptoe on the desk if he wanted to see it clearly and completely.

The kick on the table seemed to be somewhat damaged, and under the pressure of the iron egg, it shook a little.

The stacked books on the far left side of the desk were scattered, all of them smashed on the paper, and some of the undried ink in the inkstone was spilled.

Tie Dan was startled, and hurriedly picked up all the books and put them away one by one, but soon they were also handed out, but the paper on the desk was smashed and tattered, and it was stained with some ink stains.

"How's that good?" Tie Dan was suddenly at a loss, and raised his head with red eyes: "If you break Mr.'s words, Mr. will definitely be very angry......"

Maybe in a fit of rage, I won't let him study here!

If you can't study, what can you talk about protecting your mother and sister in the future......

The more Tie Dan thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and tears were about to fall.

"How can a man stand up to the sky, why do you cry for this little thing?" Shen Xiangmiao walked over and said loudly: "Now that it has become like this, it is useless to regret and be sad, it is better to think about how to deal with it." ”

Tie Dan listened to Shen Xiangmiao's words, felt very reasonable, and reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes: "When Mr. comes back, I will apologize to Mr. and tell him that I made an unintentional mistake......

"An unintentional loss is also a loss, you broke someone else's things, even if it wasn't intentional, the thing was still broken, others must have something in their hearts, it's better to apologize at the same time, and then think of other ways to make up for it?"

Tie Dan thought for a while, then looked at the paper that was almost unrecognizable, and snorted: "Mr. wrote the disciple's rules of entry and filial piety, this sister taught me, I still remember, I can write it silently to supplement Mr., but my handwriting is definitely not as good as Mr.'s writing, I don't know if Mr. is willing to forgive me." ”

"You've done your best, but it doesn't matter if you understand or not. If Mr. is really angry with you because of this, it doesn't matter, my sister can help you find a suitable school. Shen Xiangmiao touched Tie Dan's head.

Try your best to make up for everything, if you can't get it back, you really can't, but you don't have to dwell on it.

Shen Xiangmiao wanted to teach Tie Dan this truth.
