The old Empress Dowager Li was afraid, and the smoke pot rang along the kang, and began to train her grandson, "Look at your wild appearance, your little life is almost on board!" I know how to play all day, and I don't have anything serious at all! ”

Jiaxi and Jia'an escaped death, and at this time they also had palpitations, and they drooped their heads and didn't dare to say anything.

Jia Yin looked at the excitement with his fingers in his eyes, and his big dark eyes were full of schadenfreude. The others wanted to intercede, but thinking about the danger before, they all shut up.

Only Wu Cuihua'er, who was pestled by the door, muttered, "Isn't it just falling into the water, what's all the fuss, and I'm not dead!" My son is still out there making money! ”

"Shut up! Have you forgotten what I said? Li Lao Erhu lowered his face, so frightened that Wu Cuihua shrank her neck, and didn't dare to speak again.

Mrs. Li glanced at her with a dark face, and turned her gaze to Li Er, "Second child, in the future, you will teach Jiaxi and Jia'an to read and write, and you don't need them to do more, as long as you are confined at home and have some serious business, it is better than seeing Tian'er running crazy outside!" ”

After that, she looked at Jia Xi Jia'an again, "In the future, you are not allowed to go out without my permission, you know?" ”

Jiaxi and Jia'an were so frightened that they dared not agree.

So, they were only allowed to raise it for another night, and the next morning, Li Lao Er took out a Mongolian book and taught it seriously.

The sound of Lang Lang's book echoed in the courtyard of the Li family, and the village chief who happened to be walking next door heard it, so he couldn't help but come over to visit, "Yo, Yusheng, what are you busy with?" ”

"Village Chief, why are you here? Sit in the house! Seeing that it was the village chief outside the door, Li Lao Er hurriedly beckoned him into the house.

Mrs. Li also came out of the back room with Jiayin in her arms when she heard the sound, and called Hongying to pour tea.

"I heard the sound of reading in your yard, and I thought that Mr. was coming, but I didn't think it would be your own homeschool!" The village chief smiled and took the tea handed by Hongying, and his heart moved, and he continued to praise.

"Yusheng teaches a good way, but there are few students. As the old saying goes, one sheep is driven, and two sheep are also herded. As... How about detaining all the leather children in the village and studying with your children? ”

"Ah, I'm afraid this is not very good..."Li Lao Er hesitated, after all, he had never gone to school seriously, but he had only studied with his eldest brother for two or three years. Now it's just a matter of teaching your own children, if you bring other children, you always feel afraid of delaying other people's children.

The village chief hurriedly persuaded, "Oops, nothing bad! They are all children from their own village, and they learn to write and calculate, so that they will not be blind and blind, and they will not need to test their fame.

In this way, I will ask in a moment who is willing to send their children, and they will give a little food to count as a bondage. Although everyone in the village is close to each other, it is not good to let Yusheng suffer in vain. ”

Li Lao Er looked at his old mother in embarrassment, the village chief said so, and he didn't know how to answer.

However, unexpectedly, Mrs. Li simply agreed.

"Thanks to the village chief, I can look down on the second child of my family, since this is the case, I will come down on his behalf."

"Okay, that's great, I'm going to tell the villagers!" The village chief has always been vigorous and resolute, and immediately went out in a hurry and went door to door.

Li Lao Er was in a trance, in the blink of an eye, he became a gentleman? When the family heard about it, they were all happy.

It's Wu Cuihua again, and at this time she shouted dissatisfiedly: "Mother, you deserve it too quickly!" Why do you have to collect money if you have enough food! The fourth child just followed Liu Darttou for a trip, and he could share ten taels of silver! The second child is a teacher, so how can he earn more than the fourth. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of family righteousness, and added, "By the way, mother, the fourth child's salary has a share of family righteousness..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Lao Er couldn't listen anymore, "What nonsense, you know how to calculate brother every day, what else do you have in your eyes besides food and silver?" ”

Li Lao Er's originally good mood was ruined by Wu Cuihua.

Suddenly remembering that Wu Ergou seemed to have walked around the village in the past few days, he looked at Wu Cuihua coldly, and asked, "Is it that Ergouzi came back to ask you for silver?" And you are thinking about taking the money from your house to make up for him? ”

Wu Cuihua was shocked by his words, trembled with fright, and hurriedly said, "No, no!" I didn't! ”

Li Lao Er looked at her with a cold face, "Hmph, it's better not to!" If I find out that you have stolen money from him, be careful that I break his legs! I'll get you out of the house again! ”

Wu Cuihua was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she honestly retracted into the room.

The Li family's son fell into the water, and everyone in the village knew about it, and he was counting his children and grandchildren at home, and the village chief came to send the children to the Li family to study.

Of course, this is a good thing, someone to take care of the children, and they can learn a few words, at least it is better than running around outside.

So, after some statistics, there were eight or nine!

According to the previous agreement, each family took five catties of sorghum and sent it to the Li family as a bundle, and every household was grateful and praised to Li Lao Er.

The Li family was not too little, and happily collected the sorghum, and packed up the empty room for classes.

On the day of the start of the class, everyone in the village came to see the excitement, squatting in the yard with their necks crossed, and it was not too cold when the north wind blew.

The little naughty people who originally went up to the trees all day long to dig out bird eggs and go down to the river to catch small fish, now they all straightened their waists and sat on the chairs, shaking their heads with their little hands behind their backs and following Wu Lao Er to read, which is really decent!

The sound of Lang Lang's book echoed in the courtyard of the Li family, accompanied by the sound of sparrows chirping in the treetops, the winter sun seemed to be a little warmer, this picture... Surprisingly warm and loving.

Everyone smiled and sighed with satisfaction, it was really thanks to the Li family that Qingshui Village became more and more vibrant, this day is more and more hopeful!

Li Lao Er was still a little restrained at the beginning, staring at so many pairs of eyes, and his body seemed to be crawled by insects, so he was uncomfortable.

But when he learned what his eldest brother had taught him and taught these children the same, the miracle was generally calmed down and he no longer felt nervous.

One day, two days, three days, the naughty boys gradually got used to reporting to Li's house every day, and Li Lao Er became more and more like a gentleman.

He found that among these children, there were really two good talents, whether they were writing or arithmetic, they could understand a little bit, and they could learn as soon as they learned, which added a little pride and pride to their hearts.

Of course, this also has his credit, he gave up the stick, directly used copper coins as arithmetic tools, the children were very excited, as if the wrong count, the money was lost, how could it be not good to learn.

In the evening, the women of each family are always willing to come together to pick up the children and go home, so they sit at Li's house for a while, gossip a few words, and relieve their boredom.

Of course, Mr. Li Lao Er is their first object of praise, "Mr. Li is really hard, our family's elm head can actually write his own name." ”
