Chapter 26: Do You Still Want to Go to School?
There are times when rumors are in the limelight, and there are times when they pass.
From that day on, Fang Mumu would only choose to go to the secret base with Yuan Chengle to study at the secret base during the day when Yuan Chengle did not go to school during the holidays.
In the past, Fang Mumu would be afraid that her mother would be angry when she saw what she was studying, but now she often takes back the book she has practiced writing to Yu Cai to see.
Every time at this time, Yu Cai would look at the notebook in his hand and say with relief, "Mumu is awesome!" ”
In the past, Fang Mumu would always secretly recite poems in the secret base, and she was even worried every day that she would not be found out because she was reciting poems in her dreams, but now she would stand in the alleyway with Yuan Chengle and recite it loudly.
The villagers who passed by the laneway, hearing Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle's obscure words one by one, they thought that Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle must be two powerful school children, "It's really a good material for reading." ”
After going back and forth like this, the streets and alleys began to spread again about how Fang Mumu loved to study, but due to Fang Jian's old-fashionedness, she couldn't go to school, so she could only secretly follow Yuan Chengle to study.
"Hey, do you know that daughter of the Fang family?"
"How can you not know! Now I can be regarded as a celebrity here, and I have listened to the people around me for three days. ”
"Then I'll tell you something, that is, that girl, don't look at your fate, it's not very good, but your brain is bright, I've met it several times, and I can memorize it well."
"When did you read the book, why don't I know?"
"Ah, whether this kind of endorsement is good or not, you don't need to see whether I read it or not, you can know it by listening to it."
"Really, then it's really good to say yin, but it's a pity that my life is not good, and I was born in the Fang family."
......
Rumors are the fastest way to spread, it will not be afraid of mountains and rivers, and it will not be afraid of the sinister of people's hearts, no, its transmission is more sinister than people's hearts.
Soon, the rumors reached Fang Jian's ears, he was sitting in the teahouse of Chen Shaodong's house, and he drank a small glass of white wine in his hand. Looking at the people around him, although he tried his best to avoid not talking to him about Fang Mumu's rumors, he could guess a little bit through the twisted faces of those people.
Fang Jian thought about going back to teach Fang Mumu a lesson, just like last time, grabbing her hair and forcing her not to follow Yuan Chengle to study anymore. However, he was able to stop Fang Mumu from going to school on the grounds that his family had no money, because it did cost money to go to school. He couldn't stop Fang Mumu from studying when he was playing with Yuan Chengle, because it didn't cost money, and more importantly, she could quibble that it was just playing a game, although Fang Mumu had never quibbled in front of him so far.
Thinking of this, Fang Jian couldn't help but feel that there was a sense of irritability rising from the bottom of his heart, quickly sweeping through his internal organs, and finally occupying his brain, he really had no way to sit quietly in the teahouse, he stood up and walked out, and when he went out, he happened to meet Chen Shaodong who was about to come in, he grabbed Chen Shaodong's arm, and motioned Chen Shaodong with his eyes to go out with him to talk.
Chen Shaodong understood, reversed the direction, and then followed Fang Jian out of the teahouse, and the two stopped not far from the teahouse.
"Brother, I want to ask you something." Fang Jian lit a cigarette, then took one out of his cigarette case and handed it to Chen Shaodong.
Chen Shaodong waved his hand and didn't take the cigarette, "If you need me, brother, you can say it directly." ”
Fang Jian put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, put the cigarette box into his trouser pocket, and then took a puff of the cigarette, and said while spitting out the clouds, "I just want to ask you, what is the situation like to go to school now, and how much does it cost?" Do you need to find a gentleman to go through the back door or something? ”
Chen Shaodong's originally serious face was suddenly replaced by a smile, he thought that Fang Jian was looking for him for a big deal, after all, Fang Jian's face was serious and unspeakable, but he didn't expect it to be for school. Of course, he had heard a little about the rumors, so why did he ask Fang Jian like this.
"Now is a new era of reform and opening up, and the way you went to school at that time has long been changed. Now the policy for going to school is good, advocating education for all, it doesn't cost a lot of money to go to school, you see my family's three babies, except for the eldest who goes to school late, the other two go to school according to their age. Moreover, I have heard people from other villages say that if you study well, you can still get money. ”
Fang Jian listened to what Chen Shaodong said in disbelief, he knew that the current times were changing, but he didn't know that there had been such a big change, "Is the world really so good now?" He asked again, trying to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
Chen Shaodong nodded affirmatively, "Of course it's so good!" As he spoke, he pouted in the direction of his commissary, "Otherwise, I can afford three school-going children with my little production capacity?" Then he changed his words and continued in a serious tone, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with going to school, now as long as you are starving to death, you are going to school, and you will probably have to ask if you have gone to school in the future." ”
Chen Shaodong knew that his words could only be clicked here, and the rest had to be figured out by Fang Jian, he patted Fang Jian's shoulder, "Brother, think about it, I'll go in first to greet someone." ”
The heat was unbearable, Fang Mumu had just separated from Yuan Chengle from outside, and then quickly rushed into the kitchen, hurriedly helping Yu Cai.
"Finished today?" Yu Cai asked Fang Mumu, she didn't stop what she was doing.
Fang Mumu squatted down and threw firewood into the stove and said, "After learning, my brother is getting more and more stupid now." ”
Yu Cai laughed, "You little girl, it's good that people are willing to teach you, but you still think he's stupid." ”
Fang Mumu raised his head and looked up at Yu Cai, "Really, I asked him how much 98+107 is, and he told me that it is equal to 200." Then, I told him that it was wrong, that Yin Yin was 205. He also quibbled that he did not use a pen to calculate, and he must not be wrong to use a pen to calculate. ”
Fang Mumu complained a series of complaints, Yu Cai understood a general idea, after all, she didn't go to school, "Lele should have let you on purpose." ”
Fang Mumu said disapprerovantly, "Not really." ”
The picture of Yu Cai and Fang Mumu's harmony was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Fang Jian, who lifted the curtain of the kitchen and stood there.
Yu Cai was the first to react, and she turned off the blower with her foot. After Fang Mumu reacted, he slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Fang Jian.
"When the meal is ready, move to the yard and eat." Fang Jian left after dropping this sentence.
After Yu Cai reacted, he quickly sped up the movements of his hands, and Fang Mumu also helped in a panic.
After Fang Mumu helped Yu Cai bring the food to the table set up in the courtyard, she hid in the kitchen under Yu Cai's reminder, after all, when Fang Jian was eating, she still had to avoid it.
Yu Cai lifted the curtain of the main house, looking at the main house that had been cleaned up by herself, Fang Jian was lying on the kang, she didn't dare to walk in, but stood at the door, and said loudly, "The head of the house, the meal is ready." ”
Yu Cai didn't finish speaking and left, she was still standing at the door waiting for Fang Jian's reaction.
Fang Jian, who was lying on the kang, reacted for a while, then sat up and looked at Yu Cai at the door, "Oh." ”
Yu Cai retreated as if he had been allowed, standing at the table in the courtyard and waiting for Fang Jian to come out.
There was only a pair of chopsticks on the dining table, Fang Jian sat on the stool and picked up the chopsticks, and after knocking on the table by habit, he began to eat, and when he was halfway through eating, he stopped, "You guys bring out the rice and eat it together, I have something to say." ”
After Yu Cai heard Fang Jian's words, she was extremely nervous, she didn't know if Fang Jian heard any rumors outside today, or encountered something unpleasant, she wanted to say no, but in the end, the words she wanted to say swallowed with the spit in her mouth, she turned around and walked into the kitchen, and brought out her and Fang Mumu's meal. Fang Mumu, who followed her, walked cautiously, listened carefully, and observed Fang Jian's every move more carefully.
This was the first time that Fang Jian's family of three sat at the same table to eat, and none of them made any other sound except for the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding and the sound of noodles sucking into their mouths.
After Fang Jian finished eating the first bowl of rice, he poured the second bowl of noodles prepared for him on the table into the bowl, he picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up a chopstick pickle, but found that the pickles were gone, "There are no pickles." ”
Yu Cai, who was originally eating with his head down, heard Fang Jian's words, and looked up to see that the pickles were indeed gone, "I'll go and serve it." With that, she picked up the pickle plate and walked briskly into the kitchen.
Fang Mumu sent Yu Cai's figure away with the rest of her eyes, she didn't dare to raise her head, she continued to lower her head and slowly eat the noodles that she didn't eat much in her bowl, she only hoped that during the time when her mother came back with pickles, her father could completely ignore her existence.
"Eat slowly!" Fang Jian's voice suddenly sounded, Fang Mumu couldn't help but be startled, and after reacting, she sped up the speed of chopsticks to make noodles.
"It's frizzy to eat!" Fang Jian's voice sounded again, Fang Mumu slowed down the speed of eating again, she didn't dare to say a word, she kept praying in her heart that her mother could return to the dinner table soon.
"Do you still want to go to school?" Fang Jian put his hand holding the chopsticks on the table and placed it on the edge of the bowl, his eyes staring at the noodles in his bowl.
"What?" Fang Mumu thought that he had misheard, and for a while he raised his head in surprise and looked at his father in front of him.
Fang Jian dropped the chopsticks in his hand, "What's that!" Lao Tzu asked if you wanted to go to school. ”
Fang Mumu quickly lowered her head again, she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Fang Jian, firstly, because Fang Jian's appearance just now seemed like he was about to get angry, which made her a little scared. The second reason was that she was a little excited after hearing Fang Jian's question, she was afraid that her unconcealable happiness would make her father unhappy and take the problem back.
"Yes." Fang Mumu nodded his head lowered, and then replied with great firmness.
"Then get ready and go to school this fall." Fang Jian said lightly.
At this time, Yu Cai had already put the pickles out and put them on the table, hearing Fang Jian's words, not to mention Fang Mumu, even she felt a little dreaming, "Really?" ”
Fang Jian raised his head and glared at Yu Cai, "What is really fake, when did I talk so much not count?" ”
Yu Cai immediately shook his head and moved the pickles towards Fang Jian.
Fang Mumu could hear the sound of Fang Jian eating noodles, she secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Fang Jian, at that moment, she suddenly felt that her father's figure was a little more majestic than before.
