Chapter Sixty-Eight: Midsummer's Day
Spring flew past in a blink of an eye, the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day, and the jacket on Wen Rou's body gradually became unbearable, so it was replaced by a single dress. The weather is warmer, and there are more people willing to go out, and the night market seems to be more lively, and she naturally makes more money, but she is twice as busy.
On this day, Wen Wen went to the street to buy some spices and went home, and found that the flow of people outside was twice as large as before, and many unmarried girls went out to play in groups of three or two. Count the days, it turned out to be the fifth day of the fifth month of May, if it was in the original world, this day was the Dragon Boat Festival, she asked Wen's mother after asking, only to know that there is no Dragon Boat Festival here, but the fifth day of the fifth month of May, it is also a festival, here is called the Midsummer Festival, pay attention to eating all kinds of cold cakes, so you can see the stalls selling cold cakes everywhere on the street, not only a wide variety, the colors are also varied, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, seven colors.
"Why don't you rest for a day today, you don't have to go out to set up a stall, let's have a holiday, right?" Xiaohuan has been very busy these days, although the busyness has made her temporarily forget the pain in her heart, and she has diluted the thoughts of separation from her mother, but she is still a child after all, and her heart is very lively, and occasionally she wants to go out for a stroll, buy some snacks to eat, and the festival is worth looking forward to for her.
"Hey, you have to eat and live during the holidays, how can you not go out of the stall?" Mother Wen leaned over and said: "I have been thinking in my heart for the past two days, I can marinate more snacks and dishes in the future, and I am free during the day, I mentioned that I will sell it in the restaurant outside, and I will come back with two more money, and I can also buy some paper and pens for Gang'er, he has been practicing calligraphy recently, and the paper is too expensive." ”
When Xiaohuan heard her say this, he lowered his head and was silent, stood in a daze for a while, and continued to clean the ingredients.
Gentle saw her disappointed appearance, a little uncomfortable, she hoped that Xiaohuan lived with her, and could treat this place as her home, instead of always feeling under the fence, but now it seems that she is too busy these days, a little neglected Xiaohuan, forgetting that she is just a child, getting up early and going to bed late every day, and there is no entertainment, and life is even worse than when she was in Zhao's mansion!
"No stalls, let's celebrate the holiday today." Gently put down the basin in her hand, pulled Xiaohuan to her side, and asked her, "Where do you want to go?" After a while, we will call Gang'er back, and everyone will go out together for a lively day. Speaking of which, it's been a few months since you arrived in Kyoto, and you haven't been out at all, it's all my negligence as a sister, and it's time to fight! ”
"Sister, why do you say that? If it weren't for you, I would have ...... a long time ago" Xiaohuan remembered the sad thing, and his expression darkened.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, clean up quickly, while it's still early, we can go shopping for a while." Gently patted Xiaohuan's back, as if to pat the depression in her heart, and said with a smile: "Come back in the evening, I'll cook something fresh for you to taste." ”
Xiaohuan answered, and happily went back to the house to change out of clothes. Mother Wen wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "You can go, don't call Gang'er, he still has to concentrate on studying." ”
"Books are to be read every day, and it's not bad for such a day, so it's better to let him go out for a walk and relax." In fact, there is another sentence that is gentle and hidden, she doesn't want Wen Gang to be a nerd who only knows. Seeing that Wen's mother didn't insist on objecting anymore, she also turned around and went back to the house to change her clothes, planning to go out in men's clothes, so as not to cause any trouble.
After a while, the two came out of the house, and Mother Wen, who was doing needlework, raised her head, only to feel that her eyes were bright, and she usually didn't look at the two of them carefully, but today she saw them change into clean and tidy clothes, her eyes were shining, and her cheeks were faintly flushed with excitement.
Mother Wen's heart moved, as if she remembered something, but she just opened her mouth, but did not say it, just looked at the two of them and smiled.
Wen Rou felt that she was smiling a little strangely, and said strangely: "Mother, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing, nothing!" Mother Wen hurriedly waved her hand.
"Mother, will you go out with us?"
"I'm not going! I'm old, I can't walk the long road, and besides, the street is crowded, what's the point? I'll stay and watch the house! Mother Wen shook her head in refusal and continued to rub on the soles of her shoes.
"I'll stay and look after the house." At this time, Ye Yu, who had been chopping firewood beside him, answered.
This young man's temper is very strange, he can often not speak for a day, occasionally interject a sentence, and his tone is also blunt and indifferent, but after getting along with him for a while, he has long been surprised, and said with a smile: "You can't go, and expect you to carry things for us!" What's more, with multiple people following, she also felt more at ease.
The three of them quit Wen's mother and went out together, first went around to the private school to find Wen Gang, before they entered the door, they heard a burst of Langlang reading, and looked at it gently, only to see a group of children, large and small, all gathered in one place shaking their heads to read, and Xu Xiucai, who was teaching, sat on a chair, took a book in his left hand, and held a ring ruler in his right hand, and listened to a child standing in front of him who was reciting Ai Ai in that period, and memorized it wrong, the child stretched out his hand tremblingly, and asked Xu Xiucai to take the ring ruler and hit it in the palm of his hand, and the book was not finished. The palms of his hands were already red and swollen.
It's violent! Gentle gasped, fortunately the weather is warm now, if it is winter, when the hands are stiff, it will really hurt to be hit like this! But if she doesn't agree, she also knows that ancient teaching methods were rote memorization, and corporal punishment is extremely normal and necessary for Mr. Teaching, and she won't jump out and scold Xu Xiucai for being inhumane.
The three of them walked into the private school, and saw that their children had stopped reading and exchanged their heads and ears, while Wen Gang was a little restless, and when he looked like that, he seemed to immediately want to rush to Gentle and ask them why they came. Xu Xiucai soon found that the order was abnormal, and thought that there were students who were mischievous, twisted his eyebrows, raised his head and wanted to scold, but found that there were three more people in the room, he was stunned when he saw gentleness, his eyes turned to Xiaohuan and he was stunned, and then looked at Ye Yu, only to vaguely remember that this person led Wen Gang to apprentice last time, and brought a lot of delicious pastries, so he put down the book, got up and saluted them: "Three of you are ......"
"We want to take a day off for Wen Gang, and we hope that Mr. will agree." Gentle, learning from the man's courtesy, arched his hand.
"Leave?" Xiucai groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, but he has to memorize this paragraph before he can leave." As he spoke, he said to Wen Gang in a deep voice: "You start reciting!" ”
