Chapter 220: Dividing the room
Jiang Lao Wu said happily: "Really? Then I'll call the fourth brother when the time comes, and they will also come to learn. ”
In fact, he was able to harvest so many medicinal materials in his busy schedule, thanks to the help of several elder brothers in the family.
The Jiang family has many sons, each son marries a daughter-in-law, marries a daughter-in-law and has another child, such a big family lives together, there are more or less contradictions.
But it's all a small contradiction.
The daughters-in-law of the Jiang family have their own selfish intentions, but it does not affect the feelings of the brothers.
Although Jiang Lao Wu said that Guo Xinyi's dowry was his own way, several elder brothers took the time to help him collect medicinal materials together when they learned that he was collecting medicinal materials and saving the dowry.
The brothers in her mother's family have a good relationship, and there are no other people's dirty things, Jiang Tangtang is naturally happy, she nodded and said, "Okay!" See when they're free, and I'll teach you together. ”
Now the house has been repaired, but there is still a lot to be done. One of them is the division of rooms.
In order to prevent contradictions, Jiang Tangtang, as mentioned earlier, first numbered the house according to the type of house and marked it.
In order to prevent mistakes, Jiang Tangtang had people prepare a lot of wooden blocks. She then wrote the numbers on the wooden blocks and put them on the corresponding houses.
And tell everyone, this is the house number.
After that, she had people prepare a lot of bamboo blocks and write numbers on the bottom of them one by one. It is then packed in an opaque crockpot.
After all this was ready, Jiang Tangtang asked people to set up a slightly higher platform in the open space outside the earthen building to preside over the room drawing ceremony.
This raffle ceremony is very simple.
Not only is the venue not arranged, but there are no fireworks and lights to set off the atmosphere. But the atmosphere of the scene is comparable to that of a modern large-scale performance scene.
The villagers were all overjoyed, looking at the crockpots and bamboo sticks prepared by Jiang Tangtang in advance, and said excitedly: "Gu Chang, when will the lottery start?" ”
"Which group starts first?"
"Gu Chang, my family can smoke first!"
……
In the midst of the coaxing of the villagers, Jiang Tangtang took out another bamboo stick he had prepared in advance and said, "Don't make any noise, each family will send one to draw lots." Let's draw in the order before and after, and then we will draw according to this. ”
This bamboo skewer is much simpler than the bamboo block of the house, and only simple numbers are written on it.
The villagers didn't mind the matter of drawing lots one more time, they just wanted to draw the house as soon as possible.
The villagers drew bamboo sticks around Jiang Tangtang first.
Some people didn't know the words on it, and they asked Jiang Tangtang one after another, and they drew the number of bamboo sticks.
There were too many people, so Jiang Tangtang asked Lu Chenyan and Xie Ziang to help on the side.
Although Lu Chenyan is young, with his ability to never forget, he has now learned a lot of words.
And Xie Ziang is a rare scholar in the valley.
It can be seen from his habit of quoting scriptures when teaching Lu Chenyan to read on weekdays that he is already a well-educated person.
Jiang Tangtang didn't ask about his past, but with his knowledge, it can be seen that he is not a child of a poor family.
In order to thank him for teaching Lu Chenyan to read and write, Jiang Tangtang once asked him about the situation at home, and planned to ask Lu Shiyan to help him find his family.
But he refused.
Jiang Tangtang didn't ask any more, but just helped him more on weekdays.
But in fact, in addition to giving more food, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help her. At the age of fourteen, he is still a child in Jiang Tangtang's eyes. But in the eyes of the villagers, in another year, they can say that they will be married.
Some people even intend to recruit him as a son-in-law.
Not only is Xie Ziang good-looking, but he gives people the feeling of acting steadily on weekdays, but also because many people know that he can read and write.
The villagers already knew that Xie Ziang was literate, and Jiang Tangtang asked him to come over to help him read bamboo sticks, and the villagers did not think it was strange.
The villagers were more surprised by Lu Chenyan.
Looking at Lu Chenyan's small person, holding a bamboo stick, pointing to the words on it one by one, explaining to everyone, many villagers widened their eyes, "Little dumb...... How old is Chen Yan, and he knows words? ”
"You didn't misunderstand the words on it, did you?"
……
Although Lu Chenyan can already speak, many villagers' impression of him is still stuck in Dawan Village.
At this time, some villagers inevitably didn't believe what he said, showed the bamboo sticks to Lu Chenyan, and squeezed to Xie Ziang's side to ask again.
When the answer they got from Xie Ziang was the same as what Lu Chenyan said, everyone still didn't dare to believe it.
Some people even planned to ask Jiang Tangtang.
Seeing that people were suspicious of the little nephew, Jiang Lao Wu said unhappily: "These are all simple numbers, how can my nephew be mistaken, even if he takes four books and five passages, it will not be difficult for him." ”
"Jiang Lao Wu, don't brag. Do you really think we don't understand anything? How old is Xiao Chenyan, and how old can he read the Four Books and the Five Classics? ”
"That is, although I have never studied, the youngest son of the Song village chief's family used to study. I heard that I had to have a little foundation before I started reading the Four Books and Five Classics, how old is Lu Sanlang's son. ”
"Jiang Lao Wu, you just love to brag, and it's not like you to brag like that."
……
Jiang Lao Wu couldn't listen to everyone questioning his little nephew, and for a while, he said that his little nephew could read the Four Books and the Five Classics.
He didn't know if his little nephew could read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but he knew that his little nephew could read a lot of words.
Much more powerful than his uncle.
Such a powerful little nephew, why do you look down on him?
He puffed out his chest and said: "I didn't brag, my little nephew just knows a lot of words, I don't believe you are looking for a book, let my little nephew read it to you." If he reads it right, you are not allowed to look down on him in the future. ”
Seeing that Jiang Lao Wu was so determined, the villagers who didn't believe Lu Chenyan before were also a little uncertain.
Someone suggested: "After the youngest son of the village chief's family went, he didn't lose his luggage, right?" Why don't you ask the village chief, take out those books and recognize them in front of everyone. ”
Ordinary people don't have books, but Village Chief Song is different, Song Jun is a scholar, and in his eyes, books are even more precious than food.
When moving, other families want to take away as much clothes as possible, iron tools and other things at home. But a good part of the Song family's luggage is Song Jun's books.
Later, Song Jun went on the way to escape the famine, and the Song family was sad. had no choice but to find a random hill to bury the bones, but everyone guessed that Song Jun's book and the Song family would definitely be reluctant to throw it away.
First, those books were bought with real money, and when they settle down, they may be able to exchange for money. Second, it was Song Jun's thing, and it was also a thought to stay.
The villagers guessed right, the Song family was really reluctant to throw away those books.
After some villagers went to ask the village chief Song, they proposed to wait for the house to be divided, find a time, and let Lu Chenyan read it in front of everyone.
At this time, of course, it is more important to divide the house. This episode was quickly put aside and attention was focused on the stage.
