Widow Wang was digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain with her six-year-old son, and she watched Xie Laosan come with a bow and arrow on her back, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

"Yo, his third uncle is going to go up the mountain to hunt?"

"Hmm."

Xie Laosan also knew that this widow Wang was a widow who loved to take advantage, and her reputation in the village was not very good, but who let this be the Xie family, so he beckoned: "Dog, come here." ”

The dog is the nickname of the widow's son, and many families have children but can't raise them, so the people in the village love to give the child a cheap name to make a living.

Xie Laosan took out a small paper bag from his arms, which contained a few pieces of candy.

"Take it and eat it."

The dog's saliva was about to fall: "Thank you, Third Uncle." ”

Xie Laosan touched his head, noticed that the clothes on his body were a little short, frowned slightly, and then took the two children up the mountain.

Widow Wang looked at their backs, and naturally noticed Xie Rongzhao sitting in the back basket.

"Dog, you will play here for a while, don't go anywhere else, A-Niang go over there, if you see your third uncle coming down, remember to call A-Niang."

The dog was puzzled: "Why are you waiting for the third uncle?" ”

"Stupid! Your third uncle is obviously going hunting, he is much more generous than Boss Xie, and when he goes down the mountain in a while, he will not let us go empty-handed. ”

The dog is young and hasn't studied yet, so he naturally doesn't understand the twists and turns of adults.

He only knew that Third Uncle Xie was generous, and every time he saw him, he would give him some snacks to eat, and sometimes he would give him a prey.

"Then can we eat meat today?"

The widow glared at him: "Be quiet! If someone else comes over and asks after a while, don't say anything, just say that you are playing here, do you hear? ”

"Got it."

Xie Rongzhao's luck is good, although he didn't encounter anything like waiting for the rabbit, but as long as it is the direction she pointed, it will definitely be rewarded, and Xie Laosan is so happy that he has been lifting her high, so scared that Xie Rongzhao's little heart is about to jump out.

They carry water bladders with them, but they don't go directly to the forest to get their prey, but go to the mountain stream.

Xie Laosan peeled two pheasants and a hare, Xie Rongen gave him a hand, and Xie Rongzhao soon ate the barbecue she had in mind.

"Third uncle, leave some for my aunt and aunt."

Xie Laosan was happy when he heard this.

Look, what about the five-year-old child, you know that it is better to protect your mother, or to teach the second brother and sister-in-law.

"Well, you can eat with confidence, I remember."

No matter how much Xie Rongzhao likes to eat, he can't eat much, after all, his age is here, and he is already full after just nibbling on a chicken leg.

When he was about to go back, Xie Rongzhao didn't remind the third uncle to take a detour.

She knew that the third uncle was generous, and although the widow Wang loved to take advantage, the first life of the family was indeed not good, in addition to the need for her in-laws to serve, there were three children to raise at home.

After a long time, the originally thin-skinned widow of the king has become today's hob meat.

In fact, Xie Rongzhao also has his own careful thoughts, that is, he wants to let the third uncle slowly have a better understanding of human performance.

Whoever is pitiful must be worthy of sympathy.

Sure enough, when I went down the mountain, I saw the dog sitting there playing, and his little head was still little by little, and he was about to fall asleep.

I don't go home like this, so I can see why I've been here all along.

Xie Laosan asked Xie Rongen to wake up the dog, and then asked him if he had eaten and why he was here alone.

The dog answered one by one, and then the little hand touched the belly.

"Jon, give the dogs a few birds in your basket."

Xie Rongen did so, this was strung with vines from the mountain, and a total of five were hit, all of which Xie Rongen shot down with a slingshot.

The dog's egg got something, and he was so happy that his mouth was about to grin to the root of his ears.

"Thank you, third uncle, thank you, fourth brother."

"Well, it's not too early, let's go back quickly."

The dog grinned and ran away.

In the evening, Liu Ruolan and Wang held a chicken leg, and the one they ate was called a fragrant!

And Xie Laosan didn't know that at this time, Widow Wang was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, while scolding Xie Laosan for being stingy and slamming the door, obviously there were pheasants and rabbits, but only a few birds were given to them.

Fucheng, Mingshan Academy.

Xie Xiuwen came to study at the academy this time, and naturally he also thought it twice.

He had studied here before, but because the restraints here were too expensive, he only studied for half a year before he had to choose to return to Gao County to study.

This time, if it weren't for the fact that he had his previous mentor and cherished his talents, and he himself had scraped together enough money, I am afraid that it would be the most difficult to step into Mingshan Academy again.

Xie Xiuwen came back this time because he wanted to study hard, and then he would do it in the middle of the next year.

All aspects of Mingshan Academy are top-notch, and even the houses where the students live are clearly arranged.

When Xie Xiuwen came before, he chose a four-person school, but this time, he chose a two-person school.

Sure enough, it was still bulging in the pocket, so I had the confidence.

Xie Xiuwen and his classmates shared three tiled houses, the hall was for guests, and the east and west rooms were bedrooms.

Xie Xiuwen came late, and only the west room was empty, so he lived in the west room.

There are also two wings outside the house, which are smaller, and are the residences of the two scholars' or entourage.

It is quite rare for two people to have such a quiet place to live.

Of course, the cost is not low.

After Xie Xiuwen paid the money, he began to feel distressed.

Xie Xiuwen is not the kind of person who only knows how to save money, he knows that next year's township exam is his last attempt, and he must go all out, so the most important thing at the moment is not to save money, but to let himself have a place where he can quietly calm down and study.

Therefore, you can't lose the big because of the small.

As for the money, he only received a letter from his eldest brother yesterday, and learned that the business of the restaurant was booming, which could make him feel some comfort, at least, he didn't have to count on the good luck of his precious daughter.

In the second half of today, Xie Xiuwen read in the room, and by the way, he sorted out what Mr. said.

In addition to this, there is also the homework assigned by the husband.

Seeing that Xie Xiuwen was about to fill a piece of paper, suddenly the door was pushed open, accompanied by Wang Jin's hurried voice.

"Brother Zichengxian, why are you still here, hurry up, something happened."

The moment Xie Xiuwen pushed the door, his wrist flicked, and a drop of ink fell.

Gotcha, it's written in vain!

Xie Xiuwen put down the pen helplessly: "Why are you so alarmed?" ”

Wang Jin had a problem, the more anxious he was, the more unclear he was, or even unable to say it, so he simply stepped forward and grabbed Xie Xiuwen's sleeve and walked out.

It wasn't until he got out of the courtyard that Wang Jin said, "Your beans are injured, and I just asked my scholar to take him to Dr. Tan." ”

Xie Xiuwen frowned, a hint of nervousness flashed across his face.

"How can beans get hurt?"

Wang Jin pouted: "In our academy, besides those few, who else will bully others?" ”

Xie Xiuwen was stunned: "You said Fan Xing did it?" ”

"Who else is not him? When I rushed over, Douzi's hands were covered in blood, red and swollen, but he had suffered a great sin. ”
