Chapter 10: What does it mean to be a word?
"You're so slow!"
Qu Xiang saw a few people coming, and immediately complained.
He's been here for so long, and a few people have arrived.
In fact, he had only come a quarter of an hour earlier, but Qu Xiang was thinking about catching birds and sparrows, so he felt that time passed very slowly.
Xiang Liulang raised his head, looked at the sun, and said to him, "It's just now, and we're not late." ”
The implication is that you're early and have nothing to do with them.
"Alright, let's catch the birds! Oh, you want me to get out of the grain, and I have brought it too! ”
Qu Xiang pointed to a small half-bundle of rice next to him and said to a few people.
Xiang Saburo looked in the direction he was pointing, saw the small half bundle of rice on the ground, and exclaimed, "Use so much?!" ”
Over here... I'm afraid it's half a bucket!
The little master of this Qu family, I'm afraid it's not a loser, right?
The rest of the people also looked at him with the expression of looking at the loser.
Of course, Qu Xiang knew what their eyes meant, and waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, I'll let Dafu take it back later, it won't be wasted, you don't have to look at Young Master Ben with this kind of look, Young Master Ben is not a fool!" ”
He just didn't know how much millet it would take to catch the bird, and if it was less, it would be a waste of his time if he couldn't catch the bird, so he simply let Dafu take a small half bundle out of the Zhuangzi.
"Alright, alright!"
Anyway, it's not their old family's food, of course they don't have an opinion.
Xiang Tiange smiled at Qu Xiang and said, "This is my third brother, he is very good at catching birds!" Let him set the trap and make sure you will see it at a glance! Okay, the birds caught, we'll divide them equally! ”
"Okay, go get it, you won't be missing!" Qu Xiang waved his hand.
Seeing him like this, Xiang Tiange turned his head to his third brother and said, "Third brother, go get a trap to catch birds and sparrows!" Young Master Qu is kind and wants to give us half of the birds! ”
“...... Good. ”
What else could Xiang Saburo say, he could only agree, and he said why these people insisted on pulling him to catch birds and sparrows in the afternoon, and they didn't bring bait yet.
Fortunately, the rice at home is almost cut, and the rest is just picked up and dried in the grain field, and he is not needed.
When Xiang Saburo finished the song and laid out the trap to catch birds and sparrows after a few breaths, he still muttered a little, so soon it was arranged?
When he looked at the trap that had been laid out, he was dumbfounded!
"It's... That's it? Is that okay? ”
"That's right! That's it, and the next thing is to wait for the birds to come down and peck at the grain! Xiang Tiange nodded and said.
Song: "......"
Unexpectedly, the trap that he tossed all morning and didn't catch a bird was so simple...
"Such a simple trap, you actually want to share half of the birds with me?"
"Young Master Qu. You don't know how to speak, do you? Xiang Tiange looked at him with disdain.
The little man had such an expression on his face, which was both amusing and a little irritating.
"How so?! What I said is still true! Qu Xiang patted his small chest and said.
Xiang Tiange said 'Huh', and then asked his question curiously: "What does it mean to be a word?" ”
"It's just a sentence worthy of nine tripods, and it means a lot of weight!" Qu Xiang explained to her, and then asked his own question, "Didn't your husband teach?" ”
Xiang Tiange shook his head: "We don't have a school in Peach Blossom Village, and it costs a lot of money to study, and our family can't afford to read!" ”
The village chief's uncle's family used a lot of silver money to provide for Brother Xiang Hao, and the people in their Peach Blossom Village knew about it.
"Academy? Oh yes, I heard my grandfather and grandmother say yesterday that there is no school in the village, and they said that they would raise money to build a school in the village, so that I can study in the school too! Qu Xiang remembered what his grandfather had said to his grandmother after dinner last night.
"Really?!" Xiang Saburo came over and was thinking about whether to give the rope to this young master Qu to pull, but he didn't expect to hear these words.
He didn't want to go to the school to study, he knew that his family couldn't afford a scholar, he was thinking that since he built a school in the village, he would have to hire someone, so that their family would have income!
"Of course it's true! I heard it with my own ears, so how can it be fake? My grandmother said that since she wants to build a school, she will first discuss with the village chief, choose a location, and then start preparing when this time is over! ”
Quxiang has a good memory, and he said everything he heard last night.
Xiang Saburo was very excited, and wanted to go back immediately to tell the news to the family, but thinking that the family should have gone out to work, he planned to let the little master Qu catch the birds and sparrows to have a good time, and handed the rope in his hand to Qu Xiang with an excited face: "Little Master Qu, give, take this rope, and when the birds and finches gather under the basket to peck at food, just pull the rope violently!" ”
Qu Xiang took the rope and nodded.
Xiang Tiange took her hat to the side and watched them catch birds, she was not interested in catching birds and birds now, she just wanted to eat the roast birds and birds that the eldest aunt ate!
"Caught, caught, caught!" Qu Xiang pinched the rope and looked excitedly at the basket that was pressed by Xiang Saburo in the distance.
Next, Qu Xiang pulled the rope several times in a row, and then slowly lost interest, so he gave the rope to Xiang Qilang, who had been staring at him greedily.
Then Qu Xiang came to Xiang Tiange's side, learning from her, she didn't dislike being dirty in the ground, overwhelmed a few rice stubbles, and then sat on it with her butt, and Dafu next to him kept holding an umbrella next to him to shade him.
"Okay, okay, what kind of umbrella are you still playing? Now that the sun is about to set, put it away. Qu Xiang said to the big fortune next to him.
"Yes." Daifuku put away the dark oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and then stood still not far behind his young master.
"You're eighth?" Qu Xiang asked Xiang Tiange next to him.
"Well, yes, that's my seventh brother, that's my sixth brother, that's my fifth brother, third brother, and several other brothers are helping the family." Originally, they planned to catch the birds in the morning and then go to work for the family in the afternoon, but they didn't expect to encounter the song.
Xiang Tiange decided that he must help his family work well tomorrow.
"You have so much family!" Qu Xiang sighed with a face, their Qu family and even his mother were alone in the Xiang family, so he couldn't understand the feelings of so many brothers and sisters.
There are those brothers, but don't mention those!
"Hehe, it's okay." Xiang Tiange smiled.
"When the village school is built, will you go to study in the school?" Qu Xiang asked.
Xiang Tiange thought for a while and shook his head: "Probably not, it costs a lot of money to study, and our family has no money." ”
