Two old men in their prime, in front of the public, fought for a fish like children. The gentlemen in the dining room, seeing such a generation of famous Confucians, the lofty image in their hearts collapsed. Oh, my God! Is this still the high-minded and mysterious Dean Yuan? It's obviously an old naughty boy!

Taking advantage of the gap between the two old friends, Meng Jian Yuan also came over, and as soon as he tasted a piece of pig's head meat, he was pushed away by the old friend who was protecting the food. Yuan Daru was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted: "Wow! You all rob me of my food, old man! The old man is going to break up with you!! ”

Xiaocao's father and daughter were stupid, if it weren't for Rongxuan Academy, she would have thought that Yuan Daru was a besy product. This...... The three giants of Rongxuan Academy, if they turned their faces because of the worthless pickled vegetables she brought, then her sin would be great.

She hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Dean Yuan, if you don't dislike it, every time you send Xiaoshi Xiumu back, I will bring you some rough side dishes......

Dean Yuan waited for her words, and when he heard this, he turned angry and said happily: "Good girl, the old man is not wrong about you, you are really a heart!" Waiter, have you eaten well? After eating, take Yu Fu to the dormitory of the initiation class to settle down. ”

The waiter was slightly surprised in his heart, the students of a small enlightenment class were enrolled, and he had to work as the assistant to the dean to settle down personally? It shows how much the dean attaches great importance to this little baby!

Although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show any hint on his face, he answered "yes", and said to Yu Hai and his son (daughter): "Please follow me!" ”

Mr. Shishu, the personal assistant of the dean, actually came to the initiation class, personally helped a new student named "Yu Fu" to go through the admission procedures, and took him to the dormitory to settle down. This news quickly spread throughout Rongxuan Academy, and everyone was very curious about who was sacred and could work for him.

Xiao Shi didn't know that on the first day he arrived at the academy, his reputation had already spread. He was happily putting his little burden on the bed in the dormitory, touching the fluffy and soft new bedding with his hand, and seeing the dormitory with desks and stools, he immediately felt how honored it was to live and study in such a comfortable environment. He secretly made up his mind that he must work hard and not disappoint his parents and sister!

Xiaocao saw that her younger brother was in the same dormitory, one was in his teens, and the other was seven or eight years younger, and when she saw the tattered clothes on her and her father, there was no contempt in her eyes. At a young age, he advanced and retreated to a certain extent, not arrogant or impatient, and most of his heart was put down.

As soon as the small stone was settled, Qian Wen came in from outside with a ceramic bowl. The two elementary school students in the enlightenment class hurriedly stood up and saluted their seniors.

Qian Wen nodded kindly at the two of them, and said to Xiao Shi: "I'll help you get some food, hurry up and eat, and there will be a morning reading class in a while." It's been almost a month since the start of the initiation class, so if there's anything you can't do, just go find me. I live in a row of houses over there, the third room on the left. ”

Xiao Shi was very apprehensive when he heard that he had fallen behind the course for almost a month, and when he heard Qian Wen say this, he nodded and said: "Thank you, Brother Xiaowen, I will often ask you for advice, just don't bother me!" I've already eaten in the morning, so you can take these meals home and eat them yourself! ”

"Dinner doesn't start until Shen Shi. You ate too early in the morning, and if you don't eat some now, how can you stay up until the afternoon? If you're hungry, you won't be able to read a book! Qian Wen pushed the ceramic bowl in front of the stone and urged: "Hurry up and eat!" ”

In the bowl is half a bowl of white rice mixed with corn stewed rice, although it is radish and cabbage on top, there is a lot of oil in the stir-fried vegetables, which catches up with the living standards of ordinary people. She suddenly asked, "Brother Xiaowen, how much does such a meal cost?" ”

"Corn with white rice like this, a vegan dish, can be done for just a penny. If the whole white rice and the dish are the same, it will be two words. If you want white rice and meat dishes, you need five ...... If you are not used to eating rice, you can change it to steamed buns, there are white noodles and mixed noodles......" Qian Wen knew what she meant, so he quoted her the price of the food in the canteen.

The so-called "poor family is rich", of course, Xiaocao will not lose his younger brother who is studying abroad, five days off and two days, one day according to the eight wen food money left to him, and ten more pocket money, fifty wen to Xiao Shi.

When Qian Wen saw it, he was slightly surprised, his five-day living expenses were only thirty or forty yuan, and his living conditions were far inferior to their family's grass, so he was so willing.

Xiao Shi looked at the string of money handed over by his sister, and was reluctant to ask for it: "Second sister, two cents a day is enough to eat, why give me so much money?" Our family is not rich, and in order to make money for me, my family is so busy that my feet do not touch the ground. Just give me ten cents in five days! ”

Xiaocao pulled him aside, forced the money string to him, and said, "You take the money first, and if you can't use it up, you can save it yourself to buy paper and pencils." Stone, you are growing your body, don't always think about saving money, and eat a good meal once in a while! Your second sister's ability, you don't know it, the money from selling braised vegetables every day is enough for the family to spend. Take it quickly, or the second sister will be angry......"

Xiao Shi accepted the money string with red eyes, sniffed and said, "Dad, second sister!" Don't worry, I'll study hard......"

"Reading is important, but the body is even more important! You are young, you have never left home, you have to learn to take care of yourself, remember to increase or decrease your clothes when the weather changes...... "Xiaocao's eyes are also sour, as if he has returned to his previous life, his younger brother went to study in other places, but she can't send it because of the pickled vegetable shop, full of anxiety, full of concern, all turned into a warning.

Xiaoshi wiped his tears and wanted to resolve his reluctance with a smile: "Second sister, you are really your mother's daughter, and you say exactly the same thing!" ”

Yu Haiqiang smiled and said: "It's not your mother and your second sister, they all miss you, don't worry about you...... Okay, you hurry up and eat, don't be late for the first class. ”

turned to Qian Wen again, solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Xiaowen, the stone is young and has just arrived, please help take care of it." ”

Qian Wen hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Uncle Dahai, if you don't say that I will too!" Don't worry, in addition to the gentleman who teaches in the academy, each row of houses has a chief who is responsible for the life of the students. The college is also equipped with a dedicated doctor, who can receive free diagnosis and treatment if you have a headache and brain fever...... Uncle Dahai, the stone is so capable, there will be no problem! ”

Xiaocao came out of Rongxuan Academy with red eyes, and since she wore it to this strange world, she has always been accompanied by this sensible and well-behaved boy.

When she was in bed, she helped her pick out the bird's eggs and laughed with her; When digging wild vegetables, she carried a small basket and worked harder than her; When he goes to the dock to sell braised vegetables, he always accompanies him......

In my heart, I have long regarded Xiaoshi as my own brother, but now I think that he is only six years old, and he wants to study alone in the town, and he is reluctant to give up, and he can't rest assured.

Yu Hai was very pleased with their sister and brother's deep affection, and comforted: "Cao'er, don't be sad, won't you be able to see the stone again in five days?" We'll pick him up early! Didn't you say you were going to go to the cattle and horse market, let's go! ”

Xiaocao rubbed away the tears in her eyes, sniffled, and cheered up: "Let's go to the woodware shop to see the eldest brother first...... My mother made the shoes, and we sent them to my brother. ”

The father and daughter walked around the main street to the Zhangji woodware shop. Maybe Yu Hai was there, although the guys in the store had ugly faces, they didn't make it difficult for them, and directly called Yu Hang out.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Xiaocao feels that the eldest brother seems to be thinner, and his withered yellow face is tired. Although he was strong in front of them, he could still see that he was tired.

"Brother, is it tiring to be an apprentice here? Or are you not feeling well? Your face doesn't look right......" Xiaocao asked with some concern. After all, Yu Hang is only eleven or twelve years old, and the carpentry shop is full of manual work, which is still very difficult for him.

The sensible Yu Hang was afraid that his family would worry, so he smiled indifferently, and said: "The business in the store is good these days, and even the master is working overtime, but I just started and stayed up late." It's good to wait until you've been busy for a while! ”

Yu Hai looked at his little adult-like son, sighed deeply, wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment and swallowed back. Xiaocao looked at his father and said, "Dad, our family has a good income every day now, and we are also short of manpower, so it is better to let the eldest brother come back." ”

Yu Hang didn't wait for his father to speak, so he hurriedly said, "Second sister, I'm really fine!" What master didn't survive from an apprenticeship? After two years of rookie period, it would be good to start learning carpentry. Don't worry, big brother is in good health! ”

Xiaocao stuffed the burden in his hand into the eldest brother's hand, and said, "Brother, this is the shoes that my mother made for you, and there is a hundred yuan, you take ......."

Yu Hang glanced down at his open-toed shoes, and said busily: "I'll take the shoes, you can bring the money back!" My family is not rich, I have food and drink here, and I don't need much money. ”

Xiaocao forced the string of copper plates into his hand, and said, "Xiaolian and I are now taking turns to sell side dishes at the dock, and business is not bad." It's not as difficult at home as you think, and we have scraped together enough for a month of small stones in a few days, not to mention your 100 yuan? When you are away from home, you still have to have a few dollars in your hands to defend yourself. ”

Yu Hai also persuaded: "Your sister is right, take it!" When you're growing up, buy some food and put it away, and eat a piece when you're hungry...... Don't delay you, hurry up and get in. ”

Coming out of the carpentry shop, the father and daughter didn't speak for a long time, and when they were about to arrive at the cattle and horse market, Xiaocao said: "Dad, in a few days, let the eldest brother come back." The life of an apprentice is not easy......"

Yu Hai nodded "um", didn't say a word, just kept sighing.

Thank you Tang Shengyun and Chang for stamping this book.

Chen Yunxi sauce raised the question of personal names, thank you! I've been brewing this book for two years, and I started it two years ago, and after writing about 100,000 words, I had a problem with my lumbar spine, and I couldn't stand up when it was serious, and I walked bent over like an old lady. So I stopped writing, and now that I'm feeling better, I started writing again. After a long period of time, the names of the secondary characters are a little blurred, so there will be some confusion of names.

If you find a problem, please help tell me which chapter it is in, and I will revise it as soon as possible!

Thanks again!
