57 Return the book
Han Chunlin was only six years old, and he was inexplicably nervous when Xie Wenhua asked him, and then he remembered that his handwriting was not as good as that of Yunyun, would people accept his books? This thought made him even more nervous, looked at the book Xie Wenhua held in his hand, and replied stubbornly: "Yes." ”
After Han Chunlin answered, Xie Wenhua flipped through the book in his hand and read a few pages at random, this time, Han Chunlin was even more nervous, but fortunately, Xie Wenhua said after reading a few more pages: "This word is a little sloppy, and it is not neat enough, but it can barely be read, so I will give you a tael of silver, can you read it?" ”
Although he didn't earn as much as Mo Zihua, as Xie Wenhua said, his handwriting was not good, it was not neat enough, and he could have one or two silvers, Han Chunlin was already very excited and happy, and he was so happy that he was not even nervous, and thanked Xie Wenhua: "Thank you, uncle." After thanking him, he said, "I will definitely return the book after I have written it in the future." ”
Xie Wenhua looked at Han Chunlin with a smile, feeling that he seemed to have given a bit of encouragement, so much so that he planned to continue copying books. However, a mere tael of silver can make him practice his words well, and his father is so thankful, he has to think about what he wants!
After giving Han Chunlin a tael of silver, Xie Wenhua looked at Mo Ziyun again, "The book copied this time is also very good, thank you for your hard work!" "For Mo Ziyun, Xie Wenhua really likes it, likes her filial piety to her grandmother, and likes her to have such a tenacious heart at a young age.
This is the third book she copied, and she can copy three books in about two months, especially the two books this time, which are copied within a month, which shows that the time on weekdays is spent copying books, so that she locks herself in the house all day long to copy books, that is, adults, I am afraid that few can stay. took out four taels of silver and handed it to Mo Ziyun, "This is the money you copied the book." ”
Mo Ziyun took the money bag and thanked, "Thank you, Uncle Xie." ”
After handing the money to Mo Ziyun, Xie Wenhua said again: "Do you still want to continue copying books?" ”
Mo Ziyun nodded, "Yes." "How can you make money if you don't copy books? Although the family has a small amount of savings now, it is not enough, grandma's body still needs some good medicine to recuperate, and the little savings at home are far from enough. Moreover, grandma has suffered too much, and she has to earn more money, so that the family can get rid of poverty and become rich, and they can enjoy Qingfu. Although you can make money by collecting medicines, firstly, you are young and can't walk far, and secondly, the mountain in front of your house is so big, how many medicinal materials can you pick? All these copies are still the main source of income for the family.
Xie Wenhua saw that she agreed simply, and said, "Okay, then continue to copy the Analects, I will accept as many copies as you copy?" ”
Mo Ziyun looked up at Xie Wenhua, a little puzzled, "Can you sell it if you copy too much?" ”
Xie Wenhua smiled: "Yes, many people are waiting for it!" You just have to copy a few more copies and send them with confidence. Before no one copied this book, he didn't expect it to be so sought after after copying it, even the copy copied by Han Chunlin he could resell it, but he didn't lack this money, so there was no need to sell this book to smash his signboard. But a book copied out like Wan Wan can be sold quickly even if he copies more, but now it is not enough for Mo Ziyun to copy it, so he has already found someone to copy it.
Mo Ziyun is still very puzzled, although copying books can make money, but if the bookstore wants to make money by copying books, it will inevitably be slower, and the time will pay a lot, according to the time ratio, the income is not high, and the books copied will inevitably make mistakes, which can easily have a bad impact on the bookstore. With his own puzzlement, he asked: "Why doesn't Uncle find someone to engrave this book, so that many books can be printed." ”
Xie Wenhua said: "You know a lot, but this carving takes a lot of time, not to mention, and the effect of the carved words is not satisfactory." "He also found someone to carve, but it took a lot of time to carve out the words slower than the copying, not to mention, the key is that the printed ones are simply unreadable, a piece of black and black, until now it is still a good one, a chapter of good luck can still be seen more clearly, but this work of luck can not make money, sifting and picking up a book, but such a book is not much better than the book copied by Han Chunlin!
"Isn't it clear?" Mo Ziyun asked casually after Xie Wenhua finished speaking.
If it was an ordinary baby, he would not say anything, but the baby in front of him was not an ordinary baby, so he was a little more patient to explain, "It's one thing to be unclear, and it's difficult to carve, which is not easier than copying a book, and it's not easy to carve a book." ”
Mo Ziyun secretly thought that she didn't even have movable type printing yet? "Engrave a book? Shouldn't you have carved some words first? When you want to use it, take it out and mark it directly. ”
Xie Wenhua smiled, "Every book is different, how can you prepare in advance." ”
After confirming that there was really no movable type printing, Mo Ziyun immediately changed her words and said: "Then choose the book that is sold and engrave it, so that the uncle can make money." ”
Xie Wenhua really liked Mo Ziyun more and more when he looked at him, and said with a smile: "Accept your auspicious words, when Uncle makes money, please eat delicious food." ”
After sending the book, Xie Wenhua gave Mo Ziyun some more paper, in addition to the paper, he also gave some pen and ink, and said before leaving: "You copy the book for your uncle, you don't have to worry about these pen and ink, paper or something, you just have to copy the book well." ”
Mo Ziyun nodded and thanked, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Even the surname is saved, and he calls Uncle directly, which makes people feel a lot closer, Xie Wenhua touched Mo Ziyun's head, "Be good." ”
After thanking him, Mo Ziyun walked out of the bookstore with Song Nanzhi and the others, but as soon as she walked out of the bookstore, Mo Ziyun seemed to think of something again, and said to Song Nanzhi and the others: "Grandma, you guys are waiting for me here, I forgot to tell Uncle Xie about something." ”
Song Nanzhi said: "Then you go quickly!" ”
Han Chunlin said, "I'll accompany you." ”
Mo Ziyun refused: "No, I'll come as soon as I say a word." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the bookstore again, for fear that Han Chunlin would follow.
Xie Wenhua was about to turn around and walk to the backyard, when he saw Mo Ziyun coming, he asked, "Wanyun, but what else is going on?" ”
Mo Ziyun took out a small silver bill and handed it to Xie Wenhua and said: "Thank you Uncle for taking care of Brother Chunlin's face and accepting the book he copied, let this be one or two pieces of silver that Uncle gave Brother Chunlin, and ask Uncle to take it back first, and when Brother Chunlin copies it next time, Uncle will give Brother Chunlin the money for copying the book." ”
What kind of book Han Chunlin copied, she knew very well. Such a book must not be taken out and sold for money. Xie Wenhua's acceptance must also be for Uncle Han's sake, this was thought out before he came, the books copied by Han Chunlin are very likely to be accepted by the shopkeeper Xie, and it is precisely because of this that she will let Han Chunlin bring the books to increase his motivation to study. But she didn't want to use Uncle Han's face for this, so she had to pay back the money.
If Xie Wenhua valued Mo Ziyun before, it was because of her intelligence and filial piety, but now there are some others, this child is too transparent. But because of this, he, like Han Shuxian, really pities her for worrying so much at a young age, not only pity, but also feels that Brother Shuxian's worries are not reasonable.
If you can think like this, isn't it easy to hurt your body and be sad! If such a small and well-behaved baby is injured, let alone Han Shuxian, he will also be heartbroken.
Looking at her serious appearance, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "If your brother Chunlin knew that you returned the money he copied the book to me, do you think he would still be happy?" ”
"No, so please don't tell Brother Chunlin for the time being, with the silver given by Uncle, Brother Chunlin will work harder in the future, and he will make greater progress in learning." But then the conversation changed again, "But we can't let Uncle lose money, so I asked Uncle to accept this money, and I didn't give this money to Brother Chunlin, I just lent it to Brother Chunlin first, and then returned it to me after he copied the book." ”
Xie Wenhua stopped teasing her after knowing her intentions, Xie Wenhua said with a straight face: "You take this money back, although the handwriting written by your Chunlin brother still needs to be improved, it is not as good as you, but the handwriting is quite clear, and it can also be seen clearly, and it is barely feasible to give one or two silvers, and it is also possible to sell some if you want to be cheap and save money, but if you do this again in the future, I will definitely not accept it again, and I can't smash my signboard, do you say this is the truth?" ”
Seeing that he refused to accept it, Mo Ziyun thought that he couldn't delay for a long time, and if he didn't accept it, he wouldn't accept it, and he would find a way to return it to him in the future, or copy one more copy and give it to him. So he didn't bother anymore, got up and bowed to Xie Wenhua, and said, "Let Uncle break the bank, thank you Uncle, next time I will definitely not embarrass Uncle." ”
Xie Wenhua smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Mo Ziyun turned around and walked out of the bookstore again, and handed the purse containing four silver bills given by Xie Wenhua to Song Nanzhi, "Grandma, this is the book money." ”
Song Nanzhi took the silver with a complicated mood, "Let's cut the meat and go back to eat tonight." ”
After Mo Ziyun heard this, a big smile immediately appeared on her face, "Okay, eat meat." I was afraid that Song Nanzhi would buy less, so he continued: "Buy more, and my aunt and uncle will also eat." Although the Mo family rarely eats meat, she is not as hungry for meat as other children in the village, because Aunt Yu will always find various reasons to leave her some food, among which chicken, duck and fish meat will always be missing. However, although he didn't eat less, his grandparents rarely ate it, and there were Li Linsong and Li Linyu, plus Mo Li, and himself, they were still growing their bodies, and the meat must be missing.
Song Nanzhi laughed, and then said angrily: "Milk knows, your Uncle Han, Aunt Yu, Brother Chunlin, and Sister Lulu all have to eat." ”
Mo Ziyun hugged Song Nanzhi's arm and said coquettishly: "Grandma also eats, grandpa also eats, and eldest brother and eucalyptus also eat." ”
Song Nanzhi's eyes were full of pampering, "Okay, eat all, eat all." ”
Although they planned to buy meat, after coming out of the bookstore, the group walked to the pharmacy first.
