Yang Pei drove the carriage very quickly, and just after noon, he arrived at Gujia Village.

The carriage stopped at the door of Mrs. Gu first, Yang Pei helped Mrs. Gu carry the cart of things down, and then called the two uncles to come out and help carry it in.

Gu Youjin had a sack in one hand, and two hundred catties of corn were picked up by him and put into the house.

Gu Youyin put other miscellaneous items into the back basket, and went in with two back baskets.

A room full of people gathered around.

Gu Lin licked his lips: "Grandma bought meat, and there is meat to eat today." ”

Gu Zhi swallowed his saliva: "There are still snacks, a lot of snacks, grandma has become generous." ”

Gu Lu's little hand sneaked in, and just as she was about to take away a bag of snacks, she was caught by Gu Zhi: "Grandma, Lulu steals it!" ”

"Get out of the way!" Old Lady Gu scolded angrily, "I didn't bring it back for you to eat, look at what your hunger has become, it's as if my Gu family has treated you harshly." The third daughter-in-law, come here, take the five catties of pork and clean it up, cut one catty out and stew it, and the remaining four catties will be smeared with some salt and hung on the tuyere......"

A group of children snorted on the side, seven or eight pairs of eyes staring directly at the piece of pork.

Old man Gu knocked on the cigarette stick: "I haven't eaten meat at home in the past six months, and I finally waited for the autumn harvest, so I should let the children have a little oil and water in their stomachs, take two catties of meat out and stew, and eat with an open belly." ”

Old Mrs. Gu scolded: "I don't know where I learned such a loser's way of eating, I didn't eat the last meal, and I gave Huo Huo a little meat!" ”

scolded and scolded, but did not say anything against it, and Song hurriedly carried the meat to the stove room to deal with it.

The old lady continued, "There is also a pig bone, take a radish and stew it in soup, everyone can drink a bowl, peach, you go to the stove room to help your third uncle." ”

Peaches and pork bones also went to work.

The old lady took out eight packs of dim sum from the back basket, two of which were cakes that Gu Qing forced into her, the portion was not much, one pack of one flavor, the cheapest cost fifty yuan a piece, and the other six packs were the cheapest rice cakes she bought in other dim sum shops, one pack also cost ten yuan, six children in the family, one pack per person, this is still her old man made a lot of determination to buy it back.

Sun saw the two pieces of cloth in the basket at a glance, and her hand stretched out: "Mother, why are there only two pieces of cloth, and there are so many people in the family." ”

"This is what your eldest niece has to give to me and your father." Old Mrs. Gu glared at her, "If you want to wear new clothes, go to the town to buy them yourself, you have saved money in the second and third rooms, don't think I don't know, okay, it's all gone, let's go and get busy." ”

There were still some needles and threads left in the basket, and coarse salt or something.

The old lady packed up the clutter and then went to the cellar to sort out the grain, which is the most important thing in the whole house......

On this side, Gu Qing was also digging something in the back basket.

On the side of the basket were bags of millet quinoa and other grains, and a large pile of cloth was piled up, and it was not unusual for her to sit in the middle and take out something casually.

"This is a snack bought in someone else's store, and you have a pack for each of you."

"This is cloth, one man makes two clothes, and everyone has it."

"I bought five catties of pork, and some pig offal, Brother Yang, you go and wash the pig offal, don't be in a hurry to move yet, I'll come and see how to make it delicious later."

"Oh yes, I also bought tofu sprouts, I can eat something fresh tonight."

The small table is full of people.

At this time, Gu Qing's house was very lively.

The mushrooms on the mountain have passed the season, and the autumn harvest is over, and villagers continue to come, asking about Gu Qing's next plan in groups.

At this moment seven or eight more women walked in, and the big black and the little black rushed over and sniffed, and when they smelled the familiar smell, they relaxed their vigilance and ran around the yard.

"Gu Niangzi, let's inquire about something, that is, your husband and son-in-law are teaching classes, how long can they teach?"

Gu Qing put down the work in his hand and said with a smile: "I can't say anything about this." ”

Originally, she planned to let Dong Rong stay with her for a year, and let him go after the money was paid off.

But now after getting along with Dong Rong, she knows what kind of person Dong Rong is, and she doesn't want to delay Dong Rong's good future because of her own selfish desires.

She originally planned to let Dong Rongmo leave the two to prepare for next year's imperial examination, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, so she was happy to let them teach a few children to the Tao, and she could be a little easier in the future.

She paused and said, "I can always teach for more than a month." ”

"A month is just right, so can I send my son to learn to read and write with Yu'er and them, I can't live a lifetime without even knowing my own name."

"Your husband and son-in-law are both scholars, if my daughter can get along with them for a while, she will definitely become a Sven in the future."

"I don't dare to ask for anything else, I hope to recognize a few more words worthy of my ancestors."

Gu Qing had talked to Mo Li about the literacy class before, which was equivalent to a modern literacy class, purely teaching literacy and basic characters.

Modern literacy classes can be attended by both men and women, young and old, and can be completed in about two months after one hour of study, literacy literacy, and most importantly, broadening one's horizons.

Gujiacun has not produced a single reader for so many years, if it can start from this generation, there will always be a generation of people who can read.

Gu Qing asked casually, there were seven or eight women who were willing to send their children to study, and after the news spread, some women came over, adding up before and after, more than 20 families came to sign up, and a total of 29 children were sent by their families to read and write.

Now that the autumn harvest has passed, it is just right for these half-old children to follow the readers to know more Braille, which is a good thing to glorify the ancestors.

As for the bundle fee, the people in the village unanimously decided to send at least ten catties of rice.

Now the price of a pound of rice has soared to at least 30 yuan, and 10 pounds is 300 yuan, which is a huge amount of money for the villagers.

When Mo left them in the evening, Gu Qing told him about it.

Mo Li and Dong Rong naturally should come down, teaching one is teaching, and teaching twenty-nine is also teaching, but it takes time to make some sand tables.

As soon as I heard that the four husbands of Gu Qing's family took turns to teach, there were originally twenty-nine students, but many people in the village were tempted, and finally the number of students who read and read expanded to forty-three.

Half of Gu Qing's yard is a vegetable field, half is a chicken coop and a duck shed, and more than 40 students can't sit down at all.

Li Zheng helped to find a way: "In front of our Gu family's ancestral hall is a big courtyard, and there are bluestone slabs on the ground, which are smooth and clean, and you can teach in the school after a little tidying up......

Of the 43 students, 43 parents went to clean up.

The ancestral hall of the Gu family is only opened once a year, although there are bluestone slabs on the ground in the courtyard, but the cracks of the stone slabs are full of weeds, a group of people pull weeds and sweep, and then put on tables and chairs, forty-three tables and chairs are opened, high and low, and the momentum is some, looking inexplicably like that.

Li Zheng said with his hands behind his back: "When the silver in the village is surplus, build a school on the edge of the ancestral hall, and you can't let the children read and write in the open air all the time, and when it rains, you have to delay your studies......."
