"Huh?"

The old shopkeeper who was about to get the shoes was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Yu suspiciously, frowned:

"Little child, you remember your adult's words correctly, right? Who buys shoes will buy shoes with different soles? Did you know that this is unstable? ”

"I know, I'm not mistaken, that's what my family commanded!"

Zhao Yu nodded seriously, and after finishing speaking, he thought of something again, and hurriedly said:

"Oh, yes! My adults also said that leather boots don't look good when sewn with two pieces of leather, so they need to be sewn with six pieces of leather to make six-sewn boots! ”

"Ha, that's a lot to ask!"

The old shopkeeper chuckled lightly and looked at Zhao Yu in surprise.

But at this time, the old shopkeeper was also convinced that Zhao Yu was ordered by an adult to buy shoes, after all, it is not a little child who can make these requests.

Moreover, although the straight-seam boots were changed to six-seam boots, they were much more beautiful, but they were also more expensive, and some people who paid attention to them would ask for this, so the old shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yu.

"No problem, you can do all these requirements in our store, but the leather boots have to be customized, and I can't give them to you now, and the price is slightly more expensive!"

Nodding, the old shopkeeper took Zhao Yu seriously.

"These are no problem with my family, but I just asked when you can do it and how much money do you need?"

Zhao Yu didn't leave the 'adult' for half a sentence, and looked serious with his little head up.

"Hehe, everything is ready-made, and it can be done by this time tomorrow, the price... Just two hundred words! But now you can give a fixed amount of 100 Wen, and the rest will be given tomorrow when you pick up your shoes. ”

The old shopkeeper couldn't help Zhao Yu's cuteness, and when he spoke, he touched Zhao Yu's head with a smile.

"Good! I'll give you a hundred wen, and I'll pick up the shoes this time tomorrow! ”

Zhao Yu broke free from the old shopkeeper's hand, took out a silver bean from the small satchel and put it in the old shopkeeper's hand, and then ran out of the shoe store like the wind.

The old shopkeeper glanced at the silver beans in his hand, and then looked at the figure that had disappeared outside the door, his eyes flashed.

Being able to take out the silver beans casually, and being so careless, he expected that he had guessed correctly, he must not be an ordinary child.

Don't dare to slack off, take the old shopkeeper of the silver, and start to make shoes!

Over there.

After Zhao Yu left the shoe shop, he ran towards his own carpentry shop.

The carpentry shop is not far from the shoe shop, just around the corner.

It's just that like the shoe store, his family's woodware store has no customers at this time, and only Zhao Shuisheng is behind the counter in the entire store.

"Uncle Shuisheng, what's wrong with you?"

Flickering, Zhao Yu's little head suddenly appeared in front of the counter, blinking a pair of big eyes and looking at Zhao Shuisheng suspiciously.

Zhao Shuisheng was taken aback by Zhao Yu, who suddenly appeared, and looked at the little head that was only higher than the counter, crying and laughing:

"Xiao Yu, why did you come here?"

"I'm coming home from school, and I'm going to come and see when I pass by!"

Zhao Yu opened his mouth vividly, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the empty store again, and said curiously:

"Uncle Shuisheng, what about my father and Uncle Ji Qiang? Do you make furniture in your backyard? ”

"No, they're out on business!"

Zhao Shuisheng shook his head, and when he said this, he suddenly became sad again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu's little brows furrowed:

"Uncle Shuisheng, is the business in the store bad?"

"Hmmm! This business is really ever-changing, it was fine a few days ago, but it has suddenly been deserted in the past two days! ”

Zhao Shuisheng subconsciously spoke, but after finishing speaking, he realized something, and chuckled at Zhao Yu:

"Hey, look at Uncle Shuisheng, how did I tell you about this! Xiao Yu, let's go home as soon as school is over! ”

"Oh!"

Zhao Yu nodded, but didn't move, but put his hands on the counter, and said curiously:

"Uncle Shuisheng, why is business suddenly bad? Tell me about it! ”

Hearing this, looking at Zhao Yu's innocent and curious little face, Zhao Shuisheng smiled dumbly, and then nodded:

"I'll talk to you!"

As he spoke, Zhao Shuisheng's face was constricted, and he said with a wry smile:

"Maybe it's because our rocking chairs are easy to sell, two days ago, there were suddenly more rocking chairs in the city, and there was even a big woodsmith shop, which suddenly took out a lot of rocking chairs to sell, and this time it robbed our business, your father and Ji Qiang are now going to find out the news!"

"Oh!"

Zhao Yu suddenly put away his curiosity.

Zhao Yu was not surprised by this, he had long known that rocking chairs were easy to be copied, and it was already very good that his family could enjoy the benefits of the first opportunity for so long.

"Okay, Xiao Yu, go back quickly if it's okay! Although our business has been robbed a lot, we can still keep going! ”

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Zhao Yu would be worried, Zhao Shuisheng smiled and waved his hand again.

"Hmmm! Uncle Shuisheng, I'm going back! ”

Zhao Yu smiled sweetly, turned around and ran out of the store.

However, after coming out, Zhao Yu's pace slowed down, and his eyes were groaning.

He asked Zhao Yongzhuo to open a woodware shop, naturally he didn't want it to go out of business, but now that there is no advantage of rocking chairs and competitors, the store's business will get worse and worse.

And the best way to keep the store doing well is to get a new product like a rocking chair.

It's just that their shop has just come out with a rocking chair, and if there is another booming thing, it will be easy to make people blush, and if someone is looking for trouble, then their fragile little family may not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, the business of the store can still be maintained, and Zhao Yu doesn't want their small family to have a lot of money now, so it's good to maintain it!

When the limelight passes, it's not too late to get a new piece of furniture.

With a plan in mind, Zhao Yu's steps became brisk again, and he got into the alley like the wind, ran home, and began to read.

At night.

After Zhao Yongzhuo came back, he really lost his old smile, and the whole person seemed a little worried.

At the dinner table, the little couple had solemn faces and kept chattering, talking about the store.

Zhao Yu only listened to it, and after eating, he went back to his room.

Following.

Zhao Yu was doing his homework like in the past, and when the sky was slightly bright, he fiddled with the stone lock in Xue Hu's courtyard, during which Xue Hu still ignored Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu had long been accustomed to it, and after practicing Shisuo, after watching Xue Hu practice the knife, he hurriedly went to the private school to practice calligraphy.

It's just that so much time has passed, and when Zhao Yu practiced calligraphy, he no longer hung a brick, and Han Liru added another one to him.

"Practicing words is like practicing the heart, there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly, between horizontal and vertical skimming, calm, calm, calm, condensed in the heart, and gather Haoran righteousness......"

Under the stone steps of the hall at dawn, Zhao Yu held a pen and hung bricks, writing on the desk.

In front of the desk, Han Liru paced with his hands behind his back, humming and teaching.

However, Han Li's Confucianism is no longer just about practicing calligraphy, but about practicing the heart at a deeper level, and is imperceptibly teaching Zhao Yu to be a person.

Zhao Yu listened in his ears, clenched the brush in his hand, and meticulously wrote on the paper.

And what Zhao Yu wrote is no longer three enlightenment readings, but "The Analects".

One of them wrote intently, and the other hummed and taught.

In the early morning dawn, in the courtyard in front of this church, there is a painting of ink painting taught by teachers and students......

Long.

When the sun was high, Han Liru closed his voice, slowly walked behind Zhao Yu, and looked at the words on the desk.

Looking at the little ones on the paper that were not as crooked as in the past, Han Liru stroked his beard, smiled on his energetic old face, and nodded:

"Yes, when you can write like this when you hang five bricks in your hand, then your handwriting will look a little better! In addition, your "Analects" also has some heat, chew more in the future, and tomorrow the old man will teach you "Mencius" in advance. ”

"Yes, disciple, thank you for your teaching!"

Zhao Yu put down the pen, turned around, and bowed to Han Liru.

Han Liru stroked his long beard with a smile, and then waved his hand:

"Let's go to the school, it's time for class!"

"Yes, the disciple is retiring!"

Zhao Yu saluted again, and then walked out of the courtyard slowly.

Han Liru also turned around at this time and walked into the hall.
