"Brother Zhuzi, I'm sorry for you!" Yang Xiaotao looked at the pillar wiping sweat, took a white handkerchief from the wooden basin on the side and handed it over.

After taking the pillar, he wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's done here, I'll go first." ”

"Will you not take a break?" Early in the morning, Yang Xiaotao went to find the pillar, and helped Bai Ye to carry the wooden board carved by Yuwen Xiu full of courtyard rules to the academy, and the wooden board had just been fixed at this time.

The pillar pulled the face handkerchief in his hand on the wooden basin and said, "No, my mother and Xiaolu are still waiting for me." ”

When Yang Xiaotao went to look for the pillar, Aunt Zhao and the others were about to go to the town to set up a stall, but when they heard that Yang Xiaotao was looking for the pillar to help, they asked the pillar to come over first, and they waited at home for a while.

"Brother Zhuzi, you go first!" Yang Xiaotao thought, after being busy for such a while, the godmothers should be in a hurry.

"Okay!" The pillar replied, and then turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

After watching the pillar leave, Yang Xiaotao said to Bai Ye on the side, "Bai Ye, there's nothing wrong here, you can go back first!" ”

As soon as Bai Ye gave up his hand, he disappeared.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and looked at the fixed wooden board on the wall, on which were densely packed with words, each word was engraved vigorously and powerfully, and swayed vertically and horizontally, Yuwenxiu's words Yang Xiaotao had seen it, but I didn't expect him to not only write well, but even carve it out with a knife, all of which are so individual.

said that it was a wooden board, but in fact, this wooden board was thicker than usual, otherwise Yang Xiaotao would not have asked the pillar to help lift it, originally wanted Yuwen Xiu to help get it, but seeing that he had worked so hard in the past two days, Yang Xiaotao couldn't open his mouth.

Yu Wenxiu deliberately polished the four corners of the board into a semi-circular arc, and also carved beautiful lines on the edge of the board.

When Yang Xiaotao saw it, her eyes widened, it turned out that Yuwen Xiu still had such thoughts, but Yang Xiaotao really liked it.

"Dean Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao heard the voice, turned her head to look, and saw that Hu Hai didn't know when he was already standing behind her.

"Mr. Hu, you came just in time, how about taking a look at this?" Yang Xiaotao used her eyes to signal Hu Hai to look at the plank behind her.

Hu Hai smiled and nodded, "I've seen it, it's really good." ”

Yang Xiaotao was also very satisfied when she saw Hu Hai, and said with a smile, "Hang the rules of the academy on the wall of the school, so that the children can see it all the time in the future." ”

"Dean Yang is really exquisite, ordinary people will definitely not think of such a good way."

Hu Hai looked at Yang Xiaotao in front of him, and admired it very much, he had heard his sister-in-law say that this woman's affairs have been a house, a restaurant, a field, and a current college from the downfall to the present, and even a man can't do it like this.

Yang Xiaotao waved her hand and said, "Don't make fun of me, let's go to the door and wait for the villagers to come." ”

Hu Hai smiled and nodded, and said in his heart, he really admired Yang Xiaotao, although he read the sage book, he was just a show talent after reading for more than 20 years, and he didn't contribute to the family at all, and his elderly father and mother still had to provide him with money to study, if it wasn't for his sister to wake up, he wouldn't come here to teach.

But Yang Xiaotao is different, in her twenties, she took this child alone and created such a family business.

If you are another woman, she was widowed at a young age, and she was kicked out of the house by her in-laws, so she can't accept such a blow if she is not crazy.

Hu Hai followed Yang Xiaotao and walked to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the weak figure in front of him, but he didn't have a taste in his heart, he was very arrogant since he studied, and he didn't want to deal with the reckless people in the village.

After being admitted to Xiucai's fame, he looked even higher above his head, felt that he was a scholar, disdained to deal with others, buried himself in hard study all day long, and ignored things outside the window, but he still failed repeatedly.

Until the married girl rushed into his room, threw the book in his hand on the ground, pointed at him, and said, "Brother, don't read it." Then he pushed his elderly parents to him and showed him that his gray hair and old face looked like he was in his forties, and it was clearly an old man in his sixties.

The younger sister cried and said, "Brother, are you distressed and distressed by your father, is it okay" The voice was clearly pleading with him, Hu Hai was very puzzled, he was just reading, what did he do wrong, his sister turned out his books one by one, a piece of rice paper written or unwritten, a used or unused brush, crying while talking about the silver needed for everything.

When his sister forcibly pulled away his father's hand and put it in front of him, he saw that his hand was full of wrinkles and thin, covered with all kinds of calluses, as well as the scars of large and small, new and old, he was stunned.

The younger sister said that it was all for him to earn money and buy things for him to study, which he had accumulated all the year round, and the scene where the sister said while smashing those books and pens on him is still fresh in his memory.

It was also at that time that he suddenly realized how wrong he was, and he shed tears of remorse when he looked at his parents' aging faces.

He wanted to remedy it, but he was a scholar, to do strong strength, was disgusted that his strength was not enough, he went to sell his calligraphy and paintings, and was disgusted and not famous, to find a job for Mr. Bookkeeper, but there was no shortage of people, he found that after reading books for decades, it was like a dream, and in the end he couldn't even find a job to support his family.

Just when he fell into a trough, his sister came to tell him that her village was going to set up a college, and she could go and talk about it, and when he made him a teacher, his gloomy life had a glimmer of light.

Yang Xiaotao stretched out her little hand and shook it in front of Hu Hai's eyes.

Only then did Hu Hai return to his senses: "What's wrong?" ”

"Look you've been in a daze, what are you thinking?" Yang Xiaotao looked at Hu Hai for a long time and asked suspiciously.

Hu Hai smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I didn't think about anything." ”

Yang Xiaotao saw that he didn't say anything, and didn't ask again, so she looked in other directions, and then she saw villagers holding children in twos and threes and walking this way.

"When everyone comes, you tell them not to enter the courtyard first, and wait at the door." Yang Xiaotao touched Hu Hai's arm with her slender arm.

Hu Hai was puzzled: "Why? ”

Yang Xiaotao smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know in a while." ”

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao had already turned around and walked in, and after a while, Yang Xiaotao struggled to carry a small table and came out.

After putting the wooden table in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao turned around and went in again, and took out a piece of rice paper, and pen and ink.

After a while, at the gate of the courtyard, many villagers and children were already crowded one after another, noisy and shouting.

"Mr. Hu, you are here to inform everyone today, what is the matter?"

"yes, what's the matter?"

"Since everyone is here, let's just say, I still have something to do at home."

Hu Hai was asked by the villagers, you and me, and his head was big and said, "Everyone, wait, wait for Dean Yang to come out in a while." ”

A sharp-eyed villager shouted, "The village chief is here too!" ”

Everyone looked over, and sure enough, a figure not far away slowly walked towards this side, it was the village chief.

As soon as the village chief approached, some impatient villagers asked, "Village chief, what's the matter?" Why are you here too? ”

The village chief smiled and said, "Well, don't worry, everyone, you'll find out in a while." ”

Seeing that the village chief didn't say anything, everyone started talking in a low voice.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Who knows?"

"Why don't we all wait!"

......

After a while, Yang Xiaotao's voice came from the courtyard, "Mr. Hu, please come in!" ”

As soon as these words fell, before Mr. Hu could speak, the villagers had already pulled their children and squeezed into the yard.

The village chief and Mr. Hu walked at the back.

Yang Xiaotao nodded at the village chief, the village chief was notified in advance by her yesterday, after all, the rules of the academy are also a big deal, and it is really unreasonable not to notify the village chief to be present.

Yesterday, Yang Xiaotao had already told the village chief the ins and outs, and after listening to it, the village chief also agreed with her approach.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Yang Xiaotao raised her voice.

After everyone quieted down, Yang Xiaotao said again, "I notified everyone today, there is something I want to tell you." ”

"What's the matter? Dean Yang, just say it quickly, my pigs haven't been fed yet! An anxious woman immediately said.

Her words directly caused everyone to laugh, and Yang Xiaotao was also amused by her words, "Auntie, don't worry." Then he said to everyone, "This matter is for everyone's children, so that they can study better." ”

As soon as they heard this, the villagers quieted down again, you know, the child can read, that is already a good thing for the ancestors to smoke, listen to Yang Xiaotao's meaning, today's thing is about making their children better read, everyone is a lot more cautious.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth and said, "Yang Dali, you come out!" ”

In the crowd, a black and thin child looked at him with a puzzled face, and his mother who took his hand said "Mother." ”

Yang Dali's mother saw Yang Xiaotao's smiling face, then let go of Yang Dali's hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Yang Dali walked to Yang Xiaotao's side under people's eyes.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the seven or eight-year-old little boy smiling at her in front of her, and thought that he was really a little slippery head at first glance.

Yang Xiaotao made a small face and said, "Yang Dali, do you want to study?" ”

Yang Dali is usually the child king of the village, very naughty, seeing Yang Xiaotao with a straight face, but still smiling and saying, "I want to!" "His mother can watch it from below, if she wants to say that she doesn't want to, her mother must have picked up a layer of skin on him.

Yang Xiaotao nodded meaningfully and said, "Then you are in class, why are you playing tricks on Mr.?" ”

Yang Dali was stunned for a moment, and glanced at his mother in the crowd, and sure enough, his mother's face instantly darkened.

Seeing that Yang Dali didn't speak, Yang Xiaotao said, "You took the caterpillar and put it in Mr.'s book in class, right?" ”

Where was Yang Dali accused of being wrong in front of so many people, and his little face was red.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it, Yang Dali's little face was flushed, and he joked, "I have the same surname, maybe it was a family five hundred years ago, if you don't study hard, playing tricks on Mr. will make the ancestors of the Yang family embarrassed." ”

Yang Xiaotao's words immediately attracted everyone's laughter.

Gently rubbed Yang Dali's little head and said, "If you know your mistakes, you have to change them, do you know?" Go back to your mother. ”

Yang Dali immediately nodded and quickly slipped back to his mother's side.

"Today, I'm not here to blame anyone, in order to make the children study seriously, I have formulated some rules for the academy." After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the wooden board on the wall not far away.
