Chapter 1130: You and I Are Mortals

"At the beginning of people, the nature is good, the sex is similar, the habits are far away, the sex is not taught, the sex is the migration, the way of teaching, the way of teaching, the noble to specialize, the former Meng's mother, choose the neighbor, the son does not learn, and the machine is broken——"

The village was buried under a thick layer of snow, making it difficult for everyone to get out. In a certain corner of Zhao Village, there was a childish and crisp sound of reading in the tiled house, which was clear to people's ears.

In Zhao Village, except for Mr. Zhao Lizheng's house, tenants could not afford to hire Mr. Private School to teach.

Zhang Weidong stood on the pile early in the morning and practiced boxing, so he became a private school teacher, teaching Xiao Yueyue, Goudan, and Lan Lan to read the "Three Character Classic" as cultural enlightenment. Several families were unanimously in favor.

At the moment, it is very warm in the middle room.

A square, smooth wooden board stands on a low table, on which Xu Qing writes part of the content in charcoal. Zhang Weidong was wearing a single coat, holding a 'teaching whip' in his hand to read aloud, and the three students were sitting behind a brand-new small desk, reading along, but Xiao Yueyue and Goudan were restless, their small bodies were moving, and their eyes were also turning around, but they didn't look at the 'blackboard'.

"Dog, if you don't read it carefully, the slingshot you turn around won't have your share!" Zhang Weidong knocked his head with a whip and threatened seriously.

"Second uncle, I'm serious!" When the dog heard the slingshot, he suddenly wiped his nose on his sleeve and sat upright.

"Daddy, Yueyue should also be serious-" Xiao Yueyue also exclaimed cutely.

However, it is estimated that Xiao Yueyue doesn't know what it means to be serious.

"Okay, good, Xiao Yueyue is the most well-behaved!" Zhang Weidong praised, and Xiao Yueyue was suddenly happy.

Half an hour later, Zhang Weidong's recitation stopped. Xiao Yueyue and Goudan suddenly couldn't sit still, and played with two cute little wolf dogs all over the ground. Only Zhao Lanlan crawled on the desk, holding a charcoal. Seriously imitate writing, and it seems that he yearns for literacy.

In the kitchen next door, there was a faint smell of fragrance, and Xu Qing was busy.

At this time, it was almost lunch, Zhang Weidong put down the whip and walked to the courtyard. The snow in the yard had been cleared, and several high piles had been piled up in one corner.

Zhang Weidong became interested in snowdrifting and began to make snowmen. A stick of incense. There are a few more big snowmen in the yard who are more than one person tall, with bare heads, stone eyes, and long noses of wood, which are a bit childlike.

"Brother Zhang—"

Zhao Erbao and Zhao Tiedan walked into the courtyard from the outside, and were stunned by a few big snowmen, their faces a little strange.

The two of them ran away after practicing early in the morning, and they didn't come back until they had dinner at noon.

"Do you have any work to do this day? sweating profusely!" Zhang Weidong patted the snow off his hands and said with a smile.

"Alas!"

Zhao Erbao sighed. said: "The snow is so heavy, we went to sweep the village road, and some people's houses were crushed, so we went to help!"

The second snow of the winter fell so heavily. It's still rare. Some thatched huts that are not solid enough cannot be carried at all, and many houses in the village have to collapse once in previous years, but this is the result of the accumulation of many snowfalls. Fortunately. Their house is not a big problem, but there must be other people's houses that have collapsed. So he went out to help.

Zhang Weidong said: "It didn't hurt anyone, did it?"

"Yes, but it's not a big problem. Old Master Zhao's mansion invited Lang Zhong to take a look at the disease, and only charged a principal!" Zhao Erbao said.

Zhang Weidong was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and understood behind this move.

It's not that Zhao Lizheng is kind, but he doesn't want to lose his tenants, and the population is the greatest wealth in these years, otherwise a landlord has so many fields and no one cultivates them, so why should he come? On the contrary, some small favors at the end of the year can still buy people's hearts. However, the landlords oppressed the tenants, and no dynasty could change it.

Let's just say that the land rent in Zhao Village is as high as seventy percent, and the tenants don't have much left throughout the year.

A family, the whole family worked hard together, and the remaining food was not enough for rations. So in addition to the annual farm work, I have to go to Zhao's mansion to find some work to do, and then collect some wild vegetables and other supplements, at most half full. Even in winter, the women have to be busy.

Just like the Zhao family, in the month before the winter, he took a little female red job in the Zhao Mansion, and did it at home in the winter, and when the snow melted in the next year, he handed it over to the Zhao Mansion to earn some copper money to supplement the family.

"Actually, it's about the same every year, but this year it's much better, thanks to Brother Zhang's gift of rice, everyone says you're good, and Master Zhao's mansion has given some charcoal, so you won't be cold and starving-" Zhao Tiedan also sighed and said.

Zhang Weidong waved his hand and said, "That's just a trivial matter, as long as the person is fine." ”

Zhang Weidong had no contact with other people in Zhao Village, and the last gift of food was just a casual gesture and generosity to others, not really for any purpose. At least in his heart, after all, he is a high monk, who has escaped from the mortal world. Today's dragon stranding is being played by shrimp, and it is only temporary.

Zhao Erbao saw his daughter learning words again, and asked about the reading, and was very happy, the dog suffered, was beaten on the buttocks, and forgot about it after a few howls. Scholars are very tall in the eyes of many people, and they are humble scholars, and they can have a large lintel. Zhao Erbao doesn't want his daughter and son to be able to win the lift in the future, but it is definitely right to be literate.

"Brother Zhang, they will ask you, if you don't obey, you will be beaten!" Zhao Erbao said happily.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, don't forget that they call me second uncle-" Zhang Weidong pretended to be displeased.

Er Zhao chatted with Zhang Weidong in the courtyard for a while, and then he didn't enter the house and wanted to go back.

"Come over for dinner together in the evening, it's more lively!"

The heavy snow here covers the mountains can be called terrifying, and by the twenty-third day of the lunar month, there have been four or five in this month.

During this period, the thatched huts of many people in Zhao Village were crushed, and people were constantly injured. Zhang Weidong heard that the people of the Zhao Mansion were acting frequently, helping some tenants to repair their houses, hiring Lang Zhong, and only collecting the capital. Zhao Erbao and Zhao Tiedan also participated in helping many times. Fortunately, because the rescue was timely, no one died.

Many people were flattered and grateful to Dade for thanking Master Zhao.

Zhang Weidong almost stayed at home and stayed at home. Stand on the stake every day, practice boxing, supervise everyone, or be a private school teacher. Good teacher.

And in the past month or so, the three have changed dramatically.

Because there is enough wintering food, Zhang Weidong also helps the two families from time to time with a little meat to supplement nutrition. At last, some flesh grew on their bodies, and their faces regained their blood. Naturally, there is no need to mention Xu Qing's mother and daughter, Zhao Lanlan who was eating at Zhang's house, and the dogan sisters and brothers.

The food of the Zhang family is better. White flour steamed buns, white rice, meat, vegetables, noodles, buns, dumplings, etc., change this pattern and eat them openly, every day is like the New Year.

With the strength of the body, they are more looking forward to the future, and several people are more attentive to learning martial arts, and the practice time is extended by a quarter of an hour almost every ten days. Zhang Weidong is deliberately increasing the amount of training.

However, so far, Zhang Weidong has only taught the four people the method of breathing and the mixed yuan pile gong. According to him. The four of them have been malnourished for a long time, and it has barely recovered the physical strength of normal people for more than a month, but because they are not young, they have to continue to lay a solid foundation, and this breathing method and mixed yuan pile gong have to persist for some time.

Wait until the next step, and the four of them will learn one more "Little Demon Fist" to improve their strength. To this end, Zhang Weidong also made different amounts of soil powder bags for the four people, which can be evenly tied to the legs, arms, and waists, and there is no sand so on.

Afterwards. Those who learn spearmanship will learn more "Big Gun Pile" and "Gun Steps", while those who learn swords will learn "Basic Swordsmanship" and "Bagua Spirit Sword Steps" under light, medium and heavy swords.

And after that. Erzhao also has to learn "Basic Marksmanship".

When a few people have practiced these basic kung fu to a certain point, Zhang Weidong will teach more profound. In contrast, learning marksmanship is much slower than learning swordsmanship. This is also the reason why spear skills are difficult to master.

So far, it's obvious. After the four of them practiced the breathing method and the mixed element pile gong, they obviously felt the increase in their strength. This is also the motivation for them to be more confident to persevere

The twenty-third day of the lunar month, which is also a small year, is a very important festival to start the rehearsal of the big year.

On this day, many people put on brand new clothes, put couplets on the inside and outside of the house, prepare special food, and then worship the gods and goddesses, praying for the health and safety of the whole family in the coming year. This worship service will continue until the end of the New Year.

Zhang Weidong is not familiar with the customs here, but Xu Qing knows that the couplet was also written by her, and she prepared and worshiped very seriously, and he also followed the customs.

Who knows, on this day, people in the village came to worship the early years, and they also brought a little gifts, eggs, dried mountain goods or something, and called 'Zhang Ye' benevolent. This flattered him, and he didn't think about it at all. Fortunately, with Xu Qing's help, he returned double the gift to the visitor, and there was no shortage of meat.

In addition, Zhang Weidong also gave red envelopes to those with children. There was not much money, only 20 copper coins in it, which naturally won the gratitude of everyone.

"Brother Zhang, are you tired?" Xu Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Weidong wipe his sweat and exhale after seeing off the last wave of villagers, and took a towel to gently wipe his sweat.

Zhang Weidong was in a hurry just now, his smile was stiff, but he was generous, what kind of red envelopes did he pack, teenagers have red envelopes, and in the blink of an eye, 1 silver coin was gone.

Zhang Weidong sat down, took a sip of tea, and smiled helplessly: "Socializing is not what I'm good at-"

From the bottom of my heart, it is estimated that I have been high in the immortal cultivation world for a long time, and I suddenly became a mortal, living this mortal life, this mentality has not yet changed, and the Dao Heart cultivation can't be at home!

"By the way, go back and let Brother Zhao and them know, children under the age of ten are willing to come to read and write, and breakfast will be served for free-" Zhang Weidong said again.

Xu Qing was surprised: "Brother Zhang, is this what you want?"

"Xiao Yueyue, the dog is still too young, it's too boring to just study, it's better to be with some children of similar age, it's better-"

"Then do as Brother Zhang said. Xu Qing understood what he meant, so he naturally agreed. This is very good for the growth of Xiao Yueyue and the dog.

There are not many children in Zhao Village, but there are only a dozen people under the age of ten. The Zhang family can afford to provide breakfast for more than a dozen children.

At noon, the Zhang family eats the average noodle soup made of multigrain noodles and pork dumplings, but for many people, this is only eaten during the Chinese New Year.

In the afternoon, Zhao's family, Zhao's mother and others came over early to help Xu Qing cook, chop cabbage and pork stuffing, the taste is fragrant, white flour skin, reunion dumplings!

I prepared a few more meat dishes, and a small jar of good daughter red.

It's just that I didn't see Erzhao at first, and when I asked, I knew that they had gone to the village to help again.

It wasn't until the evening that Er Zhao came over, and the three families had a lot of fun eating and chatting a lot.

After Zhao and Lan Lan helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, everyone left, Xu Qing planned to put hot water for Zhang Weidong, so that he could wash it. Nowadays, there is no shortage of water due to the snow covering the mountains and fields.

"Don't be busy, let's have a drink?"

“――”

Xu Qing was stunned, turned around and went into the kitchen.

The stove fire is burned all day long, and the charcoal is increased when the fire is used, and the charcoal ash is pressed when not in use, so that the charcoal will not be wasted. In this winter, the people of Zhao Village know the importance of heating, so they are unwilling to waste more wood and charcoal, so Zhang Weidong bought a large amount of wood and charcoal here, and burned the kang all day long.

Resetting the table, Zhang Weidong poured them both up.

"Come, Xu Qing, let's have a drink, I've worked hard for you lately!"

Bite!

Zhang Weidong drank it all, and Xu Qing actually drank it dry, and his face was as usual.

"Ever drank alcohol before?"

"Not much—" Xu Qing said embarrassedly.

"That must be a stealing drink!" Zhang Weidong joked with a smile as he filled it up for the two of them.

The small wine cup is not big, but it is half a tael, and the redness of this good daughter should be more than 30 degrees, which is not low in this era.

Xu Qing said shyly when he heard this: "En!"

Immediately, she told the story.

At that time, she was still a big girl, arrogant, active, and didn't like women, so she agreed with her parents and learned a little martial arts. But her parents wouldn't let her drink, so one time, she secretly drank, and drank too much, and got drunk once. Fortunately, she was drunk at home and slept quietly.

But there was a smell of alcohol in the room, and she was still grounded by her father for a few days.

In the future, even if she drank secretly, it was just for fun, but she didn't dare to drink too much, and after a long time, she also had a small amount of alcohol. But when I grew up, I stopped drinking it.

Xu Qing was reminiscing, and seemed a little melancholy and bitter.

Zhang Weidong chatted with her while chatting with her, and gradually, Xu Qing drank more, became more charming, bolder, and talked more, and even mentioned the matter of learning martial arts at the beginning. However, the two never talked about their origins and who Xiao Yueyue's father was.

The jar is empty, and that's the end of it.

The two washed up one after another, Xu Qing went over to accompany Xiao Yueyue, and Zhang Weidong went back to the middle room alone.

What I said just now was just to open Xu Qing's heart and remove some barriers. He found out that although Xu Qing was a village woman, she was a little out of place with Zhao Village. Sure enough, he knows martial arts, is literate, and has a good conversation, and his background should be from a wealthy family.

Why did you end up here with a little oil bottle?

These are just a blink of an eye, Zhang Weidong has no interest in those past, maybe every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. (To be continued......)
