Chapter 011: Studying is too hard
While the old gentleman was talking, Changyu's brother Gong Tianyuan jumped in and broke in: "Third grandmother, third aunt, what is Changyu doing?" ”
"Tian Yuan, you are really rude, haven't you seen Mr. here? Don't hurry up and salute the teacher! Dai pulled Tian Yuan to his side.
"Hello teacher, student Gong Tianyuan is polite." Gong Tianyuan bowed deeply to the old gentleman.
"Tian Yuan, you and Chang Yu have become truant Weilong today, don't you want to study?" The old gentleman changed his dull and serious face.
"When we look at those books, we are dizzy, boring, and can't keep up our spirits, so we go to see the adults gambling for money, and we breathe." Gong Tianyuan replied bluntly.
"There is a golden house in the book, and if you don't want to study, what do you want to do?" The gentleman touched Tian Yuan's round little head.
"The teacher also said that there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book." Gong Changyu, who was lying on the ground, whispered, "But I have been in school for almost a month, and I haven't picked up a copper plate from the book, nor have I seen a girl like a flower come out to play with us." ”
"Old learner, how do you talk to Mr., it's not big or small!" Liu Shi pulled Changyu's face, "I actually said something crooked." ”
"Mother, Mr. did explain to us like this, saying that if you study well, you will naturally have a group of glory and wealth and wives and concubines. Brother Tianyuan, I didn't lie, did I? Chang Yu glanced at Tian Yuan.
"Not lying. That's what the teacher taught us on the first day of the lecture at the private school, and although we didn't seem to understand it, we still remembered it. Gong Tianyuan nodded.
"You two have a good memory...... the old gentleman has a bad seizure, he gave a thumbs up to "praise" the two students, he took a sip of tea, "Who will write the words 'the golden house in the book' just now, and show me?" ”
"Tian Yuan, you go write first." Gong Changyu tugged at the corner of Gong Tianyuan's clothes.
"Brother, let's go." I can't write the word 'bell'......" Gong Tianyuan looked embarrassed and said in Gong Changyu's ear.
"I can't write a word, I can only speak. Brother, I can't write numbers from one to ten. Until now, I can only write my own name. You might as well write it out and show it to me first. "Gong Changyu doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
"Okay." Gong Tianyuan walked to the edge of the table, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Gong Changyu's bookcase, spread out the paper, and wrote three sentences with a brush.
"Teacher, please take a look."
"Hmm." The old gentleman took it and saw that the three sentences were all correct, and there was no mistake in a single word, but the words written were crooked, and there was no calligraphy like the professor of the gentleman.
He bowed slightly: "Tian Yuan has passed the test, but the words still need to be practiced...... Changyu, do you get up and write to the teacher? ”
Since the teacher has named him, he won't write it too. The problem is that Gong Changyu can't write, his brain is excited, he stood up, and rubbed his sore knees: "Teacher, can I appreciate Tianyuan's calligraphy?" ”
"Good. But only for a while. The old gentleman smiled and spread the paper on the table, he knew very well what the students he taught were going to do.
"The student thanked the teacher." Gong Changyu lowered his head and carefully memorized every word on the paper.
"Don't look at it!" Coldly, Liu took away the piece of paper and took out a piece of paper from the bookcase, "Take a pen and write it now, otherwise you will not escape the crime!" ”
Gong Changyu remembered the four simplest words "in", "have", "self", and "jade", and his heart was broken at this moment. When my mother spoke, she had to bite the bullet with a brush, bite it in her mouth, and write on the paper for a full quarter of an hour before she could write the first four words, and the point of "jade" was written to the left. Liu stood beside him, so angry that he vomited blood, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak......
The old gentleman saw that it was not early, and he was afraid that there would be many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, so he hurriedly stood up: "The old man has a morning class tomorrow, so he will leave." ”
Grandmother Dai took a bag of dried potato chips and stuffed it into the old gentleman's hand: "There is no good food at home, please don't laugh at this." ”
"The old lady is gracious." The old gentleman didn't shirk, he went out with a paper bag, Gong Tianyuan didn't leave, today his cousin went to see gambling was instigated by him, so he felt guilty.
After Liu sent Mr. away, then she ran to the kitchen, brought a basin of cold water, pinched a broken bowl in her hand, smashed it, and sprinkled it on the land of the shrine, pulling Gong Changyu back in front of the shrine: "Son, you don't want to study, and my mother won't embarrass you." Tonight you kowtow in front of your ancestors and ask for instructions, when the ancestors and ancestors promised that you can not study, you can get up. ”
Mother's fate was difficult to disobey, Gong Changyu knelt on the porcelain piece, held the basin of water, motionless, and had to admit punishment if he did something wrong. Although the grandmother doted on this grandson, she couldn't stop her daughter-in-law, so she moved a stool and sat down to accompany Changyu. Last year, the second grandson Changyuan died of chickenpox, she was sad and sad, no matter what, she had to raise Changyu with her daughter-in-law Liu, as for Jackie Chan, it depends on his creation.
"Third grandmother, I don't want to study either, so I will accompany Brother Changyu to kneel to the ancestors together." Gong Tianyuan knelt down beside Gong Changyu.
"Tian Yuan, you don't need to." Dai said kindly.
"Grandma, skipping school is my idea, and watching adults gamble is also my idea." Tian Yuan explained.
"Tian Yuan, are you the eldest brother, or am I the eldest brother?" Gong Changyu asked.
"Of course you're the big brother." Gong Tianyuan replied.
"It's a man, you get up for me. One person does things and one person is responsible, this is my family, if you want to kneel to your ancestors, go home. ”
"Big brother, we are the same ancestor, is there a difference between me kneeling here and at home?"
"It's not the same. When the eighth uncle comes to the door, he has to pick my skin! ”
"My father went to Wuyou City tonight to deliver medicinal herbs, and he won't come back."
"Aunt Eight is alone at home with your brother, if she knows that I took you to the place where you gamble, wouldn't you have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots?"
"Also, don't betray me." Gong Tianyuan then remembered his mother, "Then I'll go back." ”
"Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, let's go! Don't come tomorrow to call me to the academy......" Gong Changyu urged Tianyuan to hurry up.
"Hmm. Big brother, I see. Then do you still go to school the day after tomorrow? ”
"I can't go, it's too hard to study, and I can't bear it. My family conditions are not good, I have to think about my mother. ”
"Big brother, I'm going back, you kneel slowly." Gong Tianyuan gently patted Chang Yu's shoulder, and then turned around and went out.
After Gong Tianyuan left, Dai wanted to take off the basin on Gong Changyu's head, and asked in a low voice, "Old Xue, do you really not want to study?" ”
