Getting busy, Old Man Gu asked, "What are you doing with so many abacus?" ”

Mo Li replied: "Give it to my younger brothers and sisters, they all like to learn abacus, I want to teach them everything I know." ”

Old Man Gu's eyes widened, and he wanted to ask if he could go with him to study.

There are three biggest regrets in his life: first, he didn't learn carpentry; second, it is that it has not learned abacus; Third, I didn't see my eldest daughter return victoriously.

Three regrets, one of which seems to be possible.

However, Old Man Gu is thin-skinned, he is an old man, and he learns abacus with a group of hairy children, and he still wants this old face when it is passed out?

He sawed off a piece of wood and asked, "Don't you still have to take the exam, why do you have the time to teach them?" ”

Mo Li didn't hide this, and said directly: "The head of the family asked Dong Rong to teach to pay off his debts, he is a child, I am afraid that he will mislead people's children, or I will teach it myself." ”

Old man Gu's eyes flashed: "Can I let the stinky girl at home go to study with me, but don't worry, I definitely won't take advantage of you, there is still some millet at home, how about using millet as a bundle?" ”

Mo Li hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother and sister, if they want to learn it, they don't need to pay for it, the head of the family said, how can a family accept Grandpa's bondage." ”

"Your lady said that it was your lady's business, our family can't take advantage of it in vain, we can't take out more money, and we can still afford a few catties of millet."

Old man Gu clapped his hands and said, "Ten catties of millet a month, let Taozi go alone, and learn to come back to teach her younger brothers and sisters." ”

Mo Li waved his hand again: "Grandpa, Xiaomi really doesn't need to, you can let your younger brothers and sisters come together, just bring an extra stool." ”

Old Man Gu shook his head solemnly: "Just let the peach go." ”

Peaches learned to come back, and when he taught Meng'er, he was still able to steal a little bit on the side, and this old face could be saved.

There was no harvest at this time, and Old Man Gu couldn't take out ten catties of millet, so he agreed to send it to Mo Li after the harvest, but Mo Li desperately refused, and couldn't refuse at all, so he could only go home with a red face.

When he went back, Gu Yu and Gu Nuo at home both looked at him with dark eyes.

He touched his face: "Is there something on my face?" ”

Gu Yu blinked: "What about the abacus, is it done?" ”

Gu Nuo even poked his head to look at Mo Li's hand behind his back: "Brother Li, please take a seat." ”

He had never been so polite before, and when he heard that Mo Li made abacus for them, he was excited for most of the day.

Even Zhao Erya and Gu Jinyu, who are not interested in abacus, are looking forward to it, after all, for them, abacus is something that only scholars and business people have, and it is hard to believe that they will have an abacus of their own.

Mo Li took out the abacus wrapped in cloth in his hand: "After the last process is completed, the abacus can be made." ”

Gu Nuo leaned over: "The abacus is actually done, the little one is as big as Brother Li's abacus, but it's not too smooth." ”

Mo Li tore off all the cloth on the hem of his underwear, and one person sent a piece: "Use the cloth to rub and polish until these beads become smooth." ”

What he made was a slightly smaller abacus, seven gears, two up, five down, and forty-nine beads in one abacus.

Each of the four boys held a large handful of beads, found a corner, and polished them carefully, as if they were treating the most precious jade.

The night was dark.

When Gu Tao returned home after studying for the first time, everyone in the courtyard was there, all staring at her.

Old Man Gu coughed: "What have you learned today, teach Meng'er to learn it again." ”

Gu Meng had a bitter face: "Grandpa, can I not learn, I don't like to read and write, and I don't like arithmetic......"

"You don't want to learn, I don't want to teach yet!" Gu Tao snorted, "Grandpa, Brother Mo Li is really powerful, he can do anything, I will definitely become a person as powerful as Brother Mo Li in the future." ”

"You girl, you must be taught." Old Man Gu said sternly, "Meng'er, if you don't study hard, don't call me grandpa in the future." ”

Gu Meng had a bitter face, so he had to follow Gu Tao to learn to read and learn the basic concept of abacus.

Sun sat on the side, very unhappy.

Dafang can read and write, and that's because the eldest niece has four powerful husbands.

The third room can go and learn together, this is because the old man and the old lady are eccentric.

They are all the grandchildren of the Gu family, why can only Gu Tao and Gu Meng learn these things.

Sun opened his mouth and said: "Since Meng'er doesn't want to learn, then don't force the child, Lin Er and Zhi'er are very smart, let the two of them learn together." ”

Mrs. Gu said disapprovingly: "Two boys, whatever they learn, they are all mud legs, and it is useless to learn." ”

"Mother, what you said." Sun laughed, "Isn't the eldest niece just doing business, in case our Lin Er's son also marries a businessman in the future, then you can't settle accounts, you have to be able to read and write to keep accounts, and it's not too late to learn at this time." ”

Gu Zhi twisted his body, he didn't want to learn at all, he would rather be called by his grandmother to dig wild vegetables.

However, under his mother's cold eyes, he could only speak against his heart: "Grandma, grandpa, I want to learn." ”

Old Man Gu spit out a puff of smoke and waved his big hand: "All the children in our family, regardless of gender, all follow Peaches to learn together." ”

Sun's is dissatisfied again, four children in the third room are studying, and there are only two children in her family, so they are all at the expense of the second room.

The children were learning today's new knowledge outside, and Sun pulled her man back to the room, muttering: "I will definitely be able to conceive this month, Gu Youjin, you come a few more times, this time you must conceive a daughter, otherwise our family will always suffer......"

Gu Youjin usually doesn't dislike his two sons much, but he also wants daughters in his heart, after all, the eldest sister and the third brother all have daughters, but he doesn't have them alone, and his mother asked him to come back from the third brother to raise him, but he rejected him violently, he is still young, his mother-in-law is also young, and it is not that he can't have any more children.

The two of them worked in the back room.

Learning is in full swing outside.

Gu Tao taught, the five younger brothers and sisters listened together, Old Man Gu was smoking on the surface, but in fact he was listening carefully...... The family atmosphere is harmonious.

In the early morning, Gujia Village was shrouded in hazy sunlight.

Gu Qing had already taken Mo Li Gu Yu and Gu Nuo to Youshui Town in Gu Jiang's ox cart at this time, and today was the big day for the opening of Qinghan Desserts.
