Qiu Niang knew that Xie Chuntao was the most sincere, and she could say whatever she thought in her heart.

Xie Chuntao thought for a moment and said, "My second brother and sister are all thinking about you, I'm afraid that you will be alone, don't think that this is a family that can't accommodate you." Don't think about it. ”

Xie Chuntao was worried that Qiu Niang would misunderstand Mrs. Bai and the others.

Qiu Niang said: "Sister-in-law, I know. ”

While the two were talking, they saw Mrs. Bai and Zhen coming back.

Zhen was holding Xiao Fuyuan in his arms, and Xiao Fuyuan was almost asleep.

"Auntie. I'll do it. Qiu Niang stepped forward and took Xiao Fuyuan in her arms, Xiao Fuyuan rubbed her eyes and continued to close.

The door on the opposite side creaked open, and Ah Zhen's small figure stood at the door, bathed in the moonlight.

"Hey, Ah Zhen, you haven't slept yet." Zhen asked.

"Auntie." Ah Zhen said softly, "Is my sister asleep?"

Xiao Fuyuan was dozing off, but when he heard Ah Zhen's voice, he suddenly woke up, and he didn't feel sleepy.

"Brother Zhen, I haven't slept yet." Xiao Fuyuan said.

Ah Zhen looked at her and smiled in the moonlight, and Xiao Fuyuan was about to slide off Qiu Niang's arms.

"Ah Zhen, it's getting late, can you play with my sister tomorrow?" Zhen whispered softly to coax him.

A Zhen was disappointed between his eyebrows, but he nodded and said yes.

Xiao Fuyuan slipped off Qiu Niang like a loach, ran to Ah Zhen and said, "Brother Ah Zhen will play with me for a while." ”

Zhen chuckled and looked at the two children with a doting expression.

"Come and play in my yard." Xiao Fuyuan pulled Ah Zhen into the door.

Bai Muban and Bai Dazhuang came back from the private school preparation organization, and the two of them were sweating hot.

He Shun cut the big watermelon in the well, personally brought it to him, and brought a light cloak to Ah Zhen, lest he blow the wind.

Xiao Fuyuan and Ah Zhen sat on the bamboo bed in the courtyard and ate watermelon.

Bai Zhaomei took Da Lang to catch a lot of starworms, Qiu Niang was skillful, took a piece of transparent gauze, collapsed with reeds, sewed and fixed into a circle around it, and then put the fireflies in and closed it, turning it into a shiny firefly lamp.

Xiao Fuyuan held it in her hand, and she was very happy, more beautiful than any live lamp in her previous life.

On a summer night in the countryside, there are summer insects whispering, and the fragrance of earth and flowers wafts in the distance.

The stars in the sky are brilliant, and when you look up, you seem to fall into the Milky Way.

Xiao Fuyuan held the firefly lantern and lay side by side with Ah Zhen on the bamboo mat to watch the stars.

"That's the Weaver Girl."

"That's the Cowherd."

"That's the Milky Way, they see each other once a year, and they need magpies to bridge the magpie to meet."

Xiao Fuyuan smiled and told Ah Zhen.

"Brother Ah Zhen, do you have something on your mind today?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

Ah Zhen shook his head slightly.

Xiao Fuyuan stuffed the firefly lamp into Ah Zhen's hand, Ah Zhen held it, the firefly illuminated his eyes, and the black pupils were bright and wanted to cry.

Xiao Fuyuan gently covered his eyes and felt the heat of his palm.

Ah Zhen was in a good mood during the day, but when he received the news from Beijing in the evening, his mood was suddenly depressed.

It is said that after his mother and father had an argument, they ran to the lake in the middle of the night and contracted a cold.

The next day, the concubine went to visit the patient and said something disrespectful, and his mother was stimulated to be bedridden.

He originally wrote an excerpt to the queen mother, hoping that the queen mother would persuade the queen mother to dismiss the old man and relieve him of the relationship with Feng Zhiheng, and it would not be good to disturb the queen mother.

"In a few days, during the Lotus Festival, we will enjoy the flowers until the evening and continue to enjoy the lanterns." Ah Zhen said.

"There are no lights at the Lotus Festival, not last year." Xiao Fuyuan looked surprised.

"There are lights this year." Ah Zhen said firmly.

Ah Zhen has already asked Wu Xiaoying to arrange that when the time comes, the lights will be lit by the river, and the river will also be lit on the lotus leaves.

The two men giggled and whispered.

The night was dark, Xiao Fuyuan yawned and fell asleep, she didn't know how she was carried back to the house, how Ah Zhen went back.

……

The village-run private school in Shenshu Village is in full swing.

Young and middle-aged laborers are led by Bai Dazhuang and Xia Qing to brush the walls, erect the beams of the house, and pave the tiles.

Bai Muban took people to the mountains here, chopping wood to make tables and chairs, and Xie Xiaolian and Wu Xiaoying actively followed into the mountain together.

Qiu Niang and Xie Chuntao took the girls and daughters-in-law to set up a formation in the Bai family's courtyard, making noodles, steaming steamed buns, cutting vegetables, and preparing meals for the men who repaired the private school.

You Qingya carried a bag of noodles from home and took the initiative to join.

Angry, her old son Qian scolded: "It's your business to run a private school in the village." ”

You Qingya said: "I also want to know how to read." ”

She handed the noodles to Xie Chuntao and pulled up her sleeves to chop wood.

You Qingya is the only You family member that the Bai family currently welcomes.

You Mazi was exiled, You Mazi's wife came to the house to beg several times, but the Bai family was unmoved.

Now You Jingui's father hates the old Bai family, scolding the old Bai family for cutting off the You family, and was scolded back by the old lady Bai.

Old Lady Bai looked at You Qingya's hard-working figure and sighed that she had given birth to the wrong person.

"Sister Qingya, you drink water." Xiao Fuyuan saw that You Qingya was sweating, and handed it to her with water.

"Thank you, Yuanbao." You Qingya smiled and took the water and drank it all.

"Xiao Yuanbao heard that you are also going to a private school to learn how to read, right?" You Qingya asked.

"Hmm." Xiao Fuyuan nodded.

"I'm going too, I don't know if someone as big as me can take it or not." You Qingya said.

"I will definitely accept it, if we don't accept it, we will go to Ah Zhen." Xiao Fuyuan patted You Qingya's hand and said, "When the time comes, Sister Qingya and I will be classmates." ”

"Then don't think your sister is stupid." You Qingya said.

"Sister Qingya, why do you want to read?" Xiao Fuyuan tilted his head and asked.

It seems that the female dolls in the village naturally think that they are girls, and it is natural that they don't know how to read.

"Just like Grandma Bai said, you shouldn't be blind." You Qingya said seriously.

Bai Sanzhuang can read and write, Tian Maimiao can also read and write, the last time she went to the town to buy pork, she saw Tian Maimiao keeping accounts.

Wu Xiaoying also knows how to read, once Wu Xiaoying drew a ghost on the river beach, saying that it was her name, but she didn't know it.

Maybe Wu Xiaoying is writing and scolding her.

So she wanted to read and write, and she thought so when she knew that the village was going to run a private school.

If the private school doesn't accept female students, she plans to beg her second brother-in-law to contract the cleaning of the private school, as long as she listens to the class through the window.

Zhen passed by and heard the conversation between Xiao Fuyuan and You Qingya, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's good that Qingya wants to read and write, and my aunt supports you to read." ”

You Qingya smiled embarrassedly, full of gratitude to Zhen in her heart.

Zhen is a kind person, the You family is so calculating Bai Erzhuang, she has always been kind to You Qingya.

You Jingui saw that Xiao Fuyuan was usually so cold to her second sister-in-law, but he was enthusiastic about her sister, and he was heartbroken.

Carrying a pot of beans from afar, he inserted them into their chat camp while picking them.

"Qingya, you want to study? What kind of book do you go to school, a girl? Eugene Gui pouted.

"I'll just think about you." You Qingya and You Jingui confronted each other, and said confidently, "Xiao Yuanbao can read it, why can't I." ”

You Jingui raised his eyelids and said, "You can compare with our sister-in-law, the daughter of the You family is not valuable, so naturally she doesn't need to study." ”

Xiao Fuyuan: "......"

This second sister-in-law stabbed her sister without mercy.

"It's you who don't have any money." You green buds.

"I'll tell you the truth, you're getting older, don't think about such useless things as studying, it's serious to find a good family quickly."

You Qingya didn't want to pay attention to You Jingui, handed the bowl of drinking water to Xiao Fuyuan, and said, "Sister Yuanbao, stay away." ”

After speaking, he went down with an axe to chop wood, and the firewood crumbs splashed Eugene Gui's head and face.
