"Brother Ashi, I got you back what you wanted, and the shopkeeper said, it's still the original price, copy a book and give a penny of silver." The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with sun-kissed black and red skin and large white teeth.

Gu Shi took the burden he handed over: "It's hard work." ”

"What's this?" Kuroko scratched his head and took out a dozen copper plates from his arms.

Gu Shi didn't answer: "Didn't you buy some food?" ”

"I bought it, I bought two big steamed buns."

"You keep the rest."

"No, no, Brother Shi, you still have to save money to study."

"There is no shortage of these copper plates for reading." Gu Shi carefully put away the burden, turned around and picked up the hoe and continued to work.

Seeing this, Kuroko hurriedly put away the copper plate and went up to help.

"When I came over, I saw a lot of people making trouble in front of your house...... No, that's not your home anymore. ”

Speaking of this, Heizi was a little worried: "Brother Shi, I heard that the Lin family is not easy to get along with, will they be like your grandmother and not let you go to school?" ”

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, he only thought about saving enough money to go to school, and he really didn't think about this problem, but ......

"The Lin family is very good."

"Brother Ah Shi said yes, then it must be good." Kuroko smirked, smiling and smiling and a little lost.

Gu Shi pursed his lips: "In the future, you can still come to help me work like before." ”

He can copy a book in three days, give Kuroko ten wen a day, and have a surplus of seventy wen.

In fact, the money left by his father was not much after the funeral, and Mrs. Gu took most of it, and most of the money in his hand was saved in this way.

Heizi's eyes lit up, and he snatched the hoe in Gu Shi's hand: "Brother Ashi, go copy the book, I'll help you work." ”

Gu Shi didn't rob him, found a wooden stake and began to copy the book.

I thought that when I finished planting the thorns today, I would go back and tell Lin Xiaoliu that I would go to the land behind Shuzipo to open up the wasteland.

There is no need to get together with the Lin family, and no one will find out that he is secretly saving money.

Lin Baobao was not idle at home, and in one day, she finally embroidered the purse.

Ugly is ugly, at least you can recognize what the word is, isn't it? Lin Baobao is very satisfied.

Chen on the side couldn't say anything.

At night, the same expression appeared on Gu Shi's face: "What words do you say these two?" ”

In fact, he heard what Lin Baobao said, but he was not sure.

Lin Baobao stretched out his hand and pointed over one by one: "Bao, time." ”

Gu Shi: ......

He only thought that Lin Baobao was illiterate, and silently put away his purse: "Why don't I teach you to read?" ”

"Literacy?" The characters of this era are actually the traditional characters of later generations, Lin Baobao can recognize and write, and thought about it: "It's okay." ”

A quarter of an hour later, the Lin family's king-size dining table was placed in the courtyard, with an oil lamp in the middle, and everyone in the Lin family sat at the table, each with a bowl of water in their hands, and looked at Gu Shi who was sitting on the main seat one by one.

Literacy, how fresh, the village can count the slap of literacy, if the people in their family have learned, how many faces will they have when they go out?

Lin Baobao is very satisfied with everyone's state: "Driving a sheep is a drive, driving a group of sheep is also a drive, let's start." ”

Gu Shi: ......

This study is half an hour, back in the room, Gu Shi finally found an opportunity to talk about the wasteland.

"Why did you open that field?"

"There's a ditch not far from that field, so you don't have to bother to draw water through it." Gu Shi was weak in the end, and he didn't dare to look at her when he looked at the ground.

"You put your hand out."

Gu Shi was puzzled to do so, and the next moment, he was held by a soft hand.

Gu Shi's body stiffened.

The absence of a picture indicates that no one will encounter something bad tomorrow.

"It's the same wherever you want, you can open that piece of land if you want." Lin Baobao withdrew his hand, yawned, and lay down to sleep.

Gu Shi rarely lost sleep.

The next afternoon, as soon as Liao walked into the courtyard of the Lin family, she saw Erniu and several children squatting on the ground with branches and pulling something, she was surprised for a moment, and asked Lin Baobao: "Erniu, are they writing?" ”

Lin Baobao followed her line of sight and saw that it was correct to write, but with their ghostly drawing posture, I don't know if the people inside should not be able to see it.

Xu is seeing her doubts, Liao continued: "Today, your mother said that your niece and son-in-law are teaching you to read, and now it has spread all over the village, and they all say that the Lin family has found a good son-in-law and led the family to become scholars. ”

How much ridicule is meant by this statement.

Anyway, Feng didn't hear it, and proudly pulled people to write a word to them.

Lin Baobao: ...... If she remembers correctly, Gu Shi taught a word yesterday, right?

"People" at the beginning of man.

The old lady was not afraid that the other party would ask her to write two more words and come out to see.

In fact, there are really people who can't see Feng Shi saying this.

But who is Feng's, a sentence of "What to write, can you understand what the old lady wrote?" "I was so angry that I walked away.

Seeing that the second girl was so serious that she didn't raise her head, Liao was a little envious.

"Is there anything wrong with my aunt coming over today?" Lin Baobao diverted the topic.

Only then did Liao Shi remember what he was doing: "Some of the chickens that I asked to help you hatch before are starting to break their shells, Ming'er can come out some, your leg is injured, but do you want me to help you raise it first?" ”

If it had been before, Liao would never have said this, so he was afraid that Lin Baobao would throw it directly to her.

But because of the honeysuckle matter, she felt guilty in her heart, so she thought of making up for it from other aspects.

Lin Baobao didn't know what Liao was thinking, and said happily: "No, just send it home, my three sisters-in-law can help." ”

The newly hatched chicks are too fragile to be kept at home for a few days before they can be released in the mountains.

"By the way, Brother Lobby has been free lately? I want him to make a blackboard for me. ”

"What, what's a blackboard?"

Lin Baobao: "Black plank. ”

Liao: ......

Before dinner, Lin Shougen brought a wooden board blackened with charcoal.

Lin Baobao asked Lin Wulang to fix it on the wall facing the courtyard gate of the hall, and asked Erniu to go outside and pick up some white stones.

The stone is used for writing, and when the charcoal is finished, it is a new blackboard.

Looking at Lin Baobao's posture, Lin Erlang asked uncertainly: "Sister, we don't have to learn every day, right?" ”

Lin Baobao: "Yes, I think about it, in the future, I will study for half an hour after dinner every day, I will be greedy and chewy, and I will learn three words a day." ”

Tool man Gu Shi: ......

Lin Family: ......

One day of learning is fresh, two days are improvised, three days are barely enough, and four days are ...... Everyone is starting to get tired of school, and it is better to go back to the house early and lie down and sleep when there is time.

Especially Lin Baobao not only wants them to learn, but also has to spot check the next day, it's okay if they can't write, and adults go to the field to open a wasteland to come out.

It's okay if the child can't write it, isn't this a chicken sent it, go dig up a box of earthworms, a basket of wild vegetables.

You think you're done with the punishment? Naive, you have to write the wrong words ten times, and you can't write it next time to continue......

They don't want to learn anymore!
