After Song Nanzhi listened to Mo Tingyu talk about his injured leg and the fact that his body was not good, the good mood of digging medicinal materials also dissipated, and a trace of sadness spread to her heart, but she was not good at showing it in front of Mo Tingyu, so she only said that her body condition was better, "My body is almost better, and it will be fine when I finish taking these two pairs of medicines at home." ”

Then he added: "I think this medicine is much better than the previous medicine, in the past, it was not easy to sweat, this hot day, you all made a fuss about the heat, I haven't said hot all day long, and the body is still very cold at night, but last night I felt a little hot, and I slept more solidly than before." ”

Mo Tingyu sighed after hearing this: "This time, it was Dagang's father who gave him one or two silver for the medicine, and he grabbed three pairs of medicine for one or two silver, and the medicine used must be better than before." After a pause, he said, "In the end, we still owe Dagang his father, otherwise we wouldn't have used good medicine." ”

In the past, the medicine was only 50 yuan a pair, and now the medicine that Dagang Dad went to catch, a pair of drugs is worth the money of the previous six pairs of medicines, if such an expensive medicine is taken, it will not work, so what medicine do you have to take to work?

Song Nanzhi also said: "No, I gave one or two silver for the medicine, and I also mentioned a chicken that lays eggs, this chicken has to take care of almost 200 yuan, and in the past few days, Dagang has been collecting firewood and carrying pigweed." said that he didn't carry it anymore, but he didn't listen to it, and he carried it every day. ”

Mo Tingyu continued: "I used to think that Dagang was disobedient, but now I see that it has changed a lot. ”

The two were talking about Li Dagang in the house, but they didn't know that Li Dagang was now being forced by his father to go out to collect firewood. Early in the morning, Du Chunxia went to Li Dagang's room to call him to get up, Li Dagang got up early for three days in a row, and was outside in the morning and afternoon, either looking for firewood in the mountains, or cutting pigweed, and the freshness almost faded, and now I really don't want to get up and drill into the mountains, no matter what Du Chunxia shouts, she turns over and continues to sleep.

Du Chunxia remembered Mo Ziyun's words and said that when he didn't want to go, he must urge him and encourage him! I had to be patient and continued to shout, "Dagang, didn't you say that you want to read and write, as long as you stick to today and tomorrow, you can teach you to read and write, you can't be lazy at this time, otherwise the first few days will be in vain." ”

As soon as Du Chunxia stood at the door of Li Dagang's house and crackled, Li Dagang's grandmother Feng came over and yelled at Du Chunxia: "Pick up anything, I don't pick it up at home, I pick it up all day long." After complaining, he continued to roar: "You are still a mother, who is a mother like you, urging your son to sell coolies for nothing all day long, I think you are not her mother, but like the vicious stepmother." ”

Du Chunxia didn't dare to fight with her mother-in-law, so she only explained: "Dagang he pushed Wanyun into the river, and Grandma Wanyun was so frightened that she couldn't do anything, so she asked Dagang to help pick up some firewood or something, and besides, it doesn't take much effort, Dagang should also learn to do things, otherwise it won't work all the time." ”

Du Chunxia also said later: "Dagang is much more sensible than before these days. ”

Not to mention that Li Dagang pushed Mo Aster into the water and caused Song to fall ill, but as soon as he said this, Mrs. Feng suddenly turned into a crazy woman and shouted: "Mrs. Song already has tuberculosis, why is it to blame Dagang, besides, even if Dagang pushed the girl, she was so scared that she couldn't move, and she didn't run out of gas, and you lost a tael of silver for the medicine money, which was enough." ”

Speaking of a tael of silver, Mrs. Feng was even more angry, and cursed: "You kill a thousand knives, that's a tael of silver, your man can't earn a tael of silver for a month when he goes to work in the county, so you can give it to him." ”

Du Chunxia hurriedly explained: "Mother, didn't you see it at that time, Aunt Song's appearance was scary, and she couldn't speak." ”

This is also why Feng didn't dare to go to the Mo family to make trouble, saying that they had cheated them for a tael of silver, if it was normal, he would have gone to someone's house to make trouble. But now at home, she must have to give out the breath that she had been holding back for a few days, and yelled at Du Chunxia again: "After giving the silver, you still let Dagang pick up firewood and cut pigweed?" Do you have no brains or what? Why don't you go to someone's house to help? Her family is dead, lame, she is a sick man, a loser and a small child, there is just a lack of someone in the house to do things, you go just right! ”

Li Dagang wanted to continue sleeping so he didn't want to go to the mountain, but because of her grandmother's noise, he didn't feel sleepy, not only did he not have sleepiness, but he and Mo Ziyun got down these days, and they were also in harmony, which would listen to his grandmother talk about the Mo family so viciously, and he couldn't help but be unhappy, and he turned over and yelled: "It's noisy, and you don't let people sleep?" ”

Feng Shi saw that his grandson was impatient, and immediately laughed with a smile: "Grandma don't say it, you continue to sleep, continue to sleep!" After speaking, Du Chunxia shouted in a low voice: "What are you still doing here?" Don't go into the field yet. ”

Du Chunxia accompanied her and said carefully: "I'll go now." But seeing that Li Dagang got up, he still carried Feng's unkind eyes, and said to Li Dagang: "Dagang, don't you want to learn to read and write with Wan Wan?" If you stick to today and tomorrow, you can follow Wanyun to learn to read, and when you learn to read, you will be able to read like your brother Guangming and Brother Guangliang, and you will also be a reader in the future. ”

When it came to reading, Feng didn't yell at it anymore, but just muttered in a low voice: "What can she know about a four-year-old baby?" I also learned a few words from Han Shuxian, and I wanted to teach others, and I tried my best to find some deceptive tricks to trick people into doing things for her. ”

It is precisely because Li Dagang has gotten along with Mo Ziyun more harmoniously these days, especially seeing that she is obviously much younger than herself, she knows everything, not only can she read, but she also writes very beautifully, and she also knows medicinal materials, which is much more powerful than Brother Guangming. Thinking of this, Li Dagang, who was already sleepy, yelled at Du Chunxia and Feng: "If you don't go out, why should I get up?" "The nearly ten-year-old baby also knows the difference between men and women, and knows shame.

When Du Chunxia heard this, she hurriedly turned around and went out, and said in her mouth: "I'll go out now." Du Chunxia walked out, and Feng also walked out.

Du Chunxia closed the door after Feng went out, stood outside the door and said, "I'll put the food on the board for you, and you will eat it directly after washing your face in a while." After speaking, he continued: "I will put the scythe at the door for you, and the sickle will be placed in it as well. Still not at ease, he told Li Dagang to remember to cut pigweed and collect firewood.

Li Dagang roared impatiently: "Got it." ”

After breakfast, Li Dagang still went to the mountain, while looking for firewood, while looking for pigweed, when he went to Mo's house, in addition to carrying a basket of firewood, he also carried a bundle of bundled pigweed.

Mo Ziyun looked at Li Dagang carrying firewood on his back and pigweed, secretly happy, a little enlightened, not bad, it should be encouraged. He walked up with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Dagang is so powerful!" Collecting firewood and cutting pigweed is much faster today than yesterday. ”

Li Dagang couldn't help but feel better when he heard Mo Ziyun's words praising him, and smirked: "When I was collecting firewood, I saw that there was pigweed around me, so I cut it off." Later, he scratched his head and said: "I didn't think of this method before, I had to finish collecting firewood to cut pigweed!" ”

Mo Ziyun still praised: "No one will do it at the beginning, they all accumulate experience in life, do more, have experience, and know what to do is the best." Later, he added: "Brother Dagang can pick up firewood while cutting pigweed is the experience summed up a few days ago, it can be seen that Brother Dagang is attentive, so there should be a reward, from today on, I will teach Brother Dagang to read." ”

Li Dagang, who was stunned by the sudden good news, "Isn't it time yet?" ”

Mo Ziyun smiled and said, "This is a reward. "Thank you Li Yougui and Du Chunxia for helping to take care of the crops in the field these days, since grandpa fell on his leg, the work in the field has fallen, fortunately they have temporarily helped take care of it, otherwise the grass in the field is about to be taller than her.

Like Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi, Mo Ziyun is also worried about no one doing the work in the field! Fortunately, Li Dagang's father and mother helped take care of it, and they helped me so much, of course I should repay them well! So helping them teach Li Dagang well, she can repay them now.

As for a few more days, after waiting for the Ganoderma lucidum and books to be taken to the county for money, the family will be more comfortable, and they will be able to spend some money to hire someone to take care of it.

Li Dagang didn't know that Mo Ziyun changed his mind at this time, half of the reason was because of his father. At this time, he was pleasantly surprised, the hard work of the past few days, and the joy of being recognized were all written on his face, and he grinned: "Okay, I must study hard." ”

Then Mo Ziyun took Li Dagang to the room where she usually reads and writes, and after entering the house, Mo Ziyun took out the class she had prepared in advance, and wrote two short sentences on a piece of white paper, 'At the beginning of man, nature is good; Sex is similar, Xi is far away; If you don't teach, sex is migration. After taking it out, he said, "Today we officially started studying." Let's start with the Three Character Classic. This is what she had prepared last night, and she was ready to teach according to the teaching methods of this era for the time being, the Three Character Sutra was short and very educational, and the enlightenment could not be better, and she designed to adjust the length of the text and add other lessons according to the level of his understanding in the teaching process.

"Brother Dagang will read it with me first." After speaking, he took the lead in reading, "At the beginning of man, nature is good; ”

Li Dagang sat opposite Mo Ziyun, and also read after Mo Ziyun's words, "At the beginning of people, nature is good; ”

After Li Dagang finished reading, he taught the last two sentences again, and after reciting them three times, he pointed to the words on the paper and taught them word by word. After teaching five times, he began to let Li Dagang read it by himself, and after he wrote down these twelve words, he continued to explain the meaning, but he explained the meaning of the meaning with a small story made up by himself.
