Chapter 2 Reading

"Alas, yes, just say hello to the ribs, it looks fine, it hurts really well. Oops, I didn't see it, this trick has the essence of 'Black Tiger Digging Heart'......"

Meng Hao didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, squatting next to the two little babies who were fighting, commenting while watching the excitement, seeing Lao Mu coming, he got up and exclaimed: "They are all masters!" ”

Mu Hongfeng kicked him and scolded with a smile: "Disrespect for the old." ”

Separate the two little babies who were inseparable from each other, and calm them for a while before stopping.

"After a few days, the two of you will go to the southeast grass house to study and read, and the master has already greeted that gentleman."

"Do you want to read a lot?" Chen Jing covered his hands and glanced at the little madman, he was really a little afraid, although he had fought a few times, but this guy's fighting path was too wild, was he bitten by a dog? Could it be that the master brought her back not to accept apprentices, but to treat her? Afraid that the fried hair will stimulate her so that she will lie and say that she will accept the apprentice?

"What's so good about reading?" Cui Ying's slanted shoulders were unimpressed, and he was very unhappy with the frustration of this competition, but recall, that guy "stole the moves" he learned, and he was drawn, even if he narrowly won, it would be "no victory". I heard this word from a storyteller passing by in the village, and when I thought of this, I laughed out loud, I am really both civil and military.

Mu Hongfeng lightly pressed the girl's skull, made her raise her to look at herself, and asked, "Do you want martial arts cheats?" ”

"Yes!" Cui Ying blurted out.

"I want to eat my fart!" Mu Hongfeng was not polite at all.

"I'll give you a martial arts cheats now, you don't know a single big word, can you learn it? It's not like what a fart eats is. ”

Cui Ying was stunned there, she was really asked, and she was so anxious that a layer of fine sweat broke out on her dark face, and she hurriedly came up with a countermeasure.

Wipe the saliva that the master sprayed on his face twice, "I can take my time, practice martial arts while reading and recognizing, and when I finish reading and recognizing words, I will finish practicing the martial arts cheats, at that time I will be a martial arts master, and when the time comes, everyone will respect me for a lot of money, and there will be soup and meat at every meal......"

The more Cui Ying spoke, the more excited she became, she broke free of the master's palm above her head, and her two small fists danced wildly, falling into a fantasy.

The corners of Chen Jing's mouth twitched slightly.

"What did I just say?" Mu Hongfeng interrupted her fantasies.

"Give me a book of martial arts cheats!" Cui Ying happily responded.

"The one from earlier."

"I want to eat my fart." Cui Ying immediately lowered her face, pouted and muttered quietly.

Looking at the wilted Cui Ying, Chen Jing spoke, "Master, I am willing to study." ”

Looking at Master's face, he continued: "Master, you don't know, I didn't have that condition when I was at home before, and now that I was brought out by Master, I can be considered stable, I want to read and write, I want to ...... in the future" looked at Cui Ying next to him, and decided not to continue.

Mu Hongfeng looked at his deep and introverted disciple, thinking about what happened to him, and sighed secretly, "Master knows what you want to say, reading, it's never wrong to read more, in the future, I will go to Zhao'an City to buy you some sage books, and buy a few novels about the romance of the rivers and lakes, as long as you don't delay the homework left by Mr. Private School, you can read the books casually." If you are a study seed, it will be better to get a top score in the future. Okay, that's all, we'll eat later, no more chattering. After saying that, he left on his own.

After the master left, Cui Ying asked the boy in a daze, "What is the champion?" ”

"It's delicious."

Chen Jing replied angrily: "You have to bake and eat, ordinary people can't master the heat, at least you have to learn for more than ten years, if you don't open your mind and have no brains, you won't be able to learn it in this life." ”

Cui Ying suddenly realized, "This is also troublesome, isn't it just eating, don't you have to fill your stomach, and clean up some moths." ”

Chen Jing was stunned.

The village where the courtyard is located is located in the east of Zhao'an City, which sits in the north and faces south, so it has such a straightforward name, Chengdong Village.

There are a small number of families in the south and west of the city, scattered on this land, and they are all named in a similar way.

The local natives are their own reclamation of the fields, there is no squire landlord, how much strength to eat, as long as you pay attention to the reclamation of the field do not cause forest fires, after the completion of the burial of a stone tablet in the ground, there is no official yamen record as a guarantee, all the villagers spontaneously maintain, is one of the few folk customs.

The small courtyard where the master lived was not small originally, but because there was a laurel tree growing in the courtyard that could only be hugged by two people, the courtyard was forced to squeeze into a small courtyard.

Although the small courtyard geographically belongs to Chengdong Village, I heard Grandpa Dong say that this piece of land originally belonged to him, and the master later robbed him of the land and built a few thatched huts.

Chen Jing has been bored and wandering around in the past few months, and has visited three villages, probably less than 1,000 households, compared to the population of his hometown, the young adults and even half of the eldest daughters in the village have gone to the city to find a job, and the rest of the village are mostly old people, children, women and children, and they are not "popular".

About seven or eight years ago, a few old people in the three villages who relied on their age to become "highly respected" discussed that it was not a matter to go on like this, and there was no popularity anymore, and they couldn't raise children and raise ducks and cattle and sheep.

As for the masters and gentlemen in the city, who think highly of themselves, don't think about it, the money they put together will definitely not let them appreciate their faces, and these money are voluntarily raised by the villagers who want their children to study and "try it".

If you can't afford to ask someone for such a little money, let alone rely on the relationship, you can only rely on stupid methods, in case you meet a teacher who respects "education without class", it will be lucky.

Tell the children and grandchildren in the city to keep an eye on it at all times to see if they can "pick up the leaks" and pick up a cheap teacher.

I waited for nearly two years to pick up such a treasure.

Mr. Zhang, who is over half a hundred years old, has gray silk, a gray beard that grows to his chest, and his face is just like that, and he is a frustrated self-exiled person in the officialdom of neighboring countries.

When he was exiled to Zhao'an City, he was just a storyteller, he had no talent and was excluded by his local peers, and lived a bleak life of eating the last meal without the next meal, and later at the invitation of the villagers outside the city who had the intention to pick up the leaks, he changed his career to become a teacher, and he paid back the money for food and housing, although the money was pitiful, but if he talked about the book and the day, he really couldn't open the pot.

Mosquito legs are also meat, when it is difficult, there are more mosquito legs, that is a delicacy, so I pushed the boat down the river and was kind but agreed, and has been a teacher until now.

Every day at the beginning of the school at the beginning of the day, to the end of noon, two quarters of an hour in the middle, one day off. The content of the course is also simple, and it has long been spread throughout the world, "Hundred Family Names" and "Disciple Rules", and you can also choose to read some other basic Mengxue to read by yourself, but no longer explain it specifically, and give money to the spirit.

Presumably because I think the enlightenment books are enough to fool these indigenous hillbillies.

In fact, it is true, for the villagers who do not know a single big character, there is no difference between the enlightenment book and the book of heaven, and the villagers admire this scholar very much, and the festival respect is indispensable for the New Year's holidays.

Although two years have passed, I haven't read any big questions, but all of them are looking for answers to their questions from themselves, and their children should not be the seeds of reading, and they can't bloom or bear fruit.

As a convention, as an elder, on the first day of school, Mu Hongfeng took Chen Jing and Cui Ying to come once, and then he no longer deliberately took care of the two of them, and let the two of them go to the Caolu School.

"Master, it's okay, the road is so close, you can't lose it."

"Master, go back, you don't need to send it, you're so old, you're tired of walking two steps!"

Everyone slapped them on the head, which was regarded as rewarding them, Mu Hongfeng was in a good mood, felt that today was very sunny and beautiful, and went home with a big figure-eight step behind his back.

Whether it is Chen Jing Cuiying or Mr. Chen Jing in the school, there are no tables and chairs, all the straw futons, the young and weak people sit cross-legged on it, and the knees can be exposed outside the futon, all of which are woven by the villagers on the spot, the ancestral craftsmanship is strong and durable, a little more exquisite, and when you come, you will bring a cloth mat or wool mat to lay it on, and it is more comfortable when you take a nap.

Generally, there are four seats in a horizontal row, and there are fewer people in the vertical direction, and it is also convenient to stack the futons together when taking a break from school, and pull out a futon when you come in to listen to the class.

It's just that children often don't have much concentration, and they don't develop habits, after a quarter of an hour or two, their legs and feet are a little numb, and after half an hour, the whole body rebels, and there are even those who sleep on their stomachs, Cui Ying is even more excessive, and she snores happily when she sleeps, as one of the few girls in the school, she also grabbed the position in the first row when she first came, and then she was pushed to the back by the old master Zhang who couldn't stand it.

When Mu Hongfeng learned about it, he scolded with a smile: "Tai Sui's head broke ground." ”

However, Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to care much about these, as long as it doesn't bother everyone too much, that is, it disturbs him, and there are few times when he plays the board. So except for the daily thunderous morning reading, other times it is more like self-reading, self-questioning, and self-answering.

"Parents call, don't delay, parents live, don't be lazy. This sentence is that if parents call for themselves, they should respond in a timely manner, and do not deliberately delay and delay; If your parents order you to do something, you should do it immediately, and don't deliberately delay or excuse yourself......"

Chen Jing could still listen to it at first, but after a long time, the sleepy insect also came to commit it, so he didn't force himself to continue listening, and he could stare at it for a while.

If you can't read words or words you don't know, Chen Jing can ask the three elders in the family when he goes home.

It's just that Meng Hao is the most impatient with these things, and often tells him to get out of the way like a dog.

Grandpa Dong is a little patient, but sometimes he always calls himself a "barbarian" and blasts himself away on the grounds that he has little knowledge, "Go to your master, I don't believe he dares to ignore you!" ”

In the end, it was the master who took the patience to explain it to himself.

Thinking of this, he muttered: "It's still the master who is good to me, and the knowledge should be no worse than this gentleman, so why do you want the two of us to come here in a daze?" ”

In the two quarters of an hour that the class was allowed to rest, Cui Ying completely showed her "crazy" and "wild", eagles catching chickens, throwing stones, eating and drinking, fighting with boys, etc., everything.

Compared with Chen Jing's introverted personality, Cui Ying's "people come crazy" is easier for his peers to accept.

Chen Jing and his peers more often go to the canal and waterway that leads from the moat to touch the fish, after a long time, I also met a local girl, the red fluttering face, very cute and shy, laughing with two small dimples hanging on the face, these children often can't catch big fish without tools, and the small fish they catch are not to be eaten, so after catching the fish, they gave her two, and they are also acquainted.

She said that her name was Xiaocui, and her home was at the bottom of the small canal. After getting acquainted, I also met Cui Ying, in the end, it was a girl, and the two of them seemed to have more fun, which made Chen Jing a little sad, and always felt that Cui Ying had robbed her of her things, and even he couldn't explain what he couldn't tell.

"Scattered!"

Hearing Mr. say these two words, Cui Ying immediately came back to life from the state of "dead dog", Chen Jing wondered why she reacted faster than herself, only to see her turn over and stand up at the same time, and then kick the futon to the corner, a set of flowing water, no jerky.

Then he rushed out of the school, tearing his voice and howling, "Eat!" "Saya ran home, and the other children followed the same.

"Like a pack of wild dogs." Grandpa Dong, who had seen this meeting, said.
