"Can you hold the bowl?"

"I can hold it."

Although Shen Hong took the bowl, it really didn't look like a strong one, so Lin Piao found another kang table for him and put it in front of him, so that it was convenient for him to eat.

"Why did you come back so late?" Lin Piaoxianggong has already been buried, and Shen Hong's speed of coming can be said to have not even caught up with the leftovers of the seat.

Shen Hong half-lowered his eyelashes, looking immature and steady: "Mr. said that it is important to study, take the school examination, and you are not allowed to go out without memorizing the etiquette." ”

Lin Piao sounded a little wrong: "You don't have to take the Tongsheng exam until next year, and the Tongsheng will have to memorize the etiquette?" ”

"Not for the time being, but Mr. said that it can always be used, and you can't slack off."

"What books do you usually memorize?"

"Zhou Yi, the Book of Poetry, and Hug Puzi were all copied by Mr. himself in the bookstore."

"What did Mr. usually do to you?"

"Loud and loud, no fake color."

Lin Piao saw that his skin and flesh were well-proportioned, but such a good seedling always looked weak, and frowned suspiciously: "How many meals does Mr. eat for you a day?" ”

"One meal, you can eat after memorizing the book."

"Is your gentleman a showman or a juzi?" Lin Piao's tone had become stern.

Shen Hong looked at him, wondering how he could ask such a thing, in their villages, where have they ever been raised, and Xiucai is extremely rare, but everyone who is admitted to Xiucai has found a way to stay in the town to live: "It's a child." ”

Lin Piao was already pinching himself in his heart.

Shen Hong saw that Lin Piao's expression was very subtle, and he had a tendency to roll his eyes, but he restrained himself well, his face was shrouded in a thin layer of anger, and his breath became tighter: "Brother, what's wrong." ”

Erzhuzi, who rushed in with the hot chicken soup and rice, straightened his back when he heard this, put down the hot bowl, and decided to get closer to this annoying Shen Hong for his sister-in-law, and quickly approached his ear: "Stupid, call sister-in-law!" ”

Chapter 4

Shen Hong looked slightly stunned, raised his eyelids and looked at Lin Piao.

Lin Piao slapped the second pillar with a palm: "Don't listen to his nonsense, you can call it anything." ”

Anyway, these two titles purely belong to the eldest brother and don't laugh at the second brother.

Erzhuzi was beaten by him and smiled and was not angry at all, his mother told him that the little sister-in-law went to see Shen Hong with soup and meat, and she was still worried about him leaving chicken legs for him to eat!

"Little sister-in-law, if you have something to call me, I will go up the mountain tomorrow to pick mushrooms, and I will give you a bag of pigweed." Although Erzhuzi was only in his early teens, he was already tall and strong, and looking at Shen Hong beside him, Lin Piao felt that he really had to raise this child well.

"You call, the chicken has laid eggs, let's simmer poached eggs and eat them."

As soon as Erzhuzi heard this, he couldn't hide his smile: "Then I'll go back, I'll call you tomorrow when the mushrooms are fried." ”

"Well, you two don't have enough to eat."

"My mother is also worried about you, and asked me to pick more to eat together."

"Then thank you, second aunt."

Erzhu had never seen such a talkative and generous sister-in-law in the village, so he left happily.

After Lin Piao and Erzhu finished talking, as soon as they turned around, they saw Shen Hong sitting on the kang, raising his eyelids and looking at himself, Lin Piao adjusted his expression and looked at him with a straight face: "You eat first, I have to talk to you about Mr. after eating." ”

Such a good seedling can't be destroyed in the hands of the poisoner, and when it comes down to making trouble, what kind of child abuse is not giving food when you are older.

The chicken soup and rice had just come out of the pot, and it was when it was hot, Lin Piao asked Shen Hong to eat the meat first, and the meat was still hot, but after staying in the crockpot for a long time, it had already been scooped out and put it for a while, and the entrance was not hot.

Shen Hongxian slowly ate a few pieces of meat, drank some soup, the rice on the chicken soup rice had cooled down a little, he took the spoon and began to scrape the noodles with half a spoonful and half a spoonful, the chicken soup rice was warm and soft, the fragrance of the rice grains was soft and soaked in the fresh fragrance of the chicken soup, and there were some chopped vegetable leaves in it, adding a refreshing taste.

After eating half a bowl, the expression on his face relaxed a lot, not that his face stinks, Shen Hong naturally has a thin and tight sense of caution, which is also the reason why he is steady, this half bowl of steaming soup and rice finally made him instinctively relax a little.

Lin Piao watched him eat from the side, and once again sighed, he didn't gobble up when he was hungry like this, he was indeed a very polite child.

When he finished eating, Lin Piao let him rest for a while, and asked him if he wanted to sleep.

Shen Hong sat on the kang: "Sister-in-law, I'm not sleepy, just now you said you want to talk to me about Mr., sister-in-law has anything to say." ”

"That's right." Lin Piao sat down on the side of the kang: "Why doesn't Mr. let you eat, you must know that eating is bigger than the sky, people are iron rice is the outline, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and if you don't eat, what books will you memorize." ”

"The gentleman said that he strained his muscles and bones, starved his body and skin, emptied his body, and acted chaotically, so he was tempted to endure and benefited from what he could not. It is the words of a saint. ”

"Then let me ask you, what is the first sentence of this big pile."

"You must first suffer your mind."

"One more sentence."

"Therefore, the heavens will descend on the Si people, sister-in-law, is this the sentence?"

"That's it, the heavens will descend on the great task! What does this mean, God must have trained you before using you, but he is a child, why doesn't he give you food, he hasn't even been admitted to Xiucai, he is full of prestige in front of you, you eat less of his set, you are a naturally intelligent child, if you eat one meal a day before you are admitted to the child's life, if you eat three meals a day, you can immediately be a lifter! ”

Those who can come out to be Mr. Private School, to say the least, are in their twenties, and now they are all children, I don't know how many teenagers it takes to be an old talent, Lin Piao seriously suspects that the old boy is jealous of Shen Hong's talent and intelligence, and he is uncomfortable suppressing Shen Hong.

Lin Piao was afraid that he had already believed in that teacher's reasoning, and he felt that he had been abused reasonably!

Shen Hong looked at him silently for a while before he said lightly: "Originally, I mentioned it to my eldest brother once, but my husband was not bad-hearted, so my eldest brother did not pursue it." ”

Lin Piao heard it, what kind of big brother is this, this kind of gentleman can be regarded as not bad-hearted? But when he thought about it, he probably didn't know how to teach the child himself, so he said what was what.

"It's okay, the previous ones are gone, and I will hurt you in the future." Lin Piao touched the little cub's hair, and found that his hair also grew well, although the gloss was ordinary, but it was thick and dark, because it had just fallen into the water, the hairband was scattered, and he didn't tie his hair in a bun anymore, just tied it behind his head.

Lin Piao took a comb from the dresser, went around behind him, untied the hairband tied casually, picked up the comb and combed his hair a little messy, this long hair, fortunately, Lin Piao had already adapted to such long hair on his body, and found out his experience, first combed from the ends of the hair, combed the ends of the hair, and then combed them up little by little, and reached the top of the head in two or three strokes, combing smoothly from the beginning to the end.

Shen Hong dodged slightly, he hadn't been touched like this for a long time, and the fingers of his palms stroked his hair so warmly and gently, making his scalp numb, a little uncomfortable, and a little stiff. His father and mother died early, he only had an impression of being embarrassed, he was a very hard-working and amiable couple, often had delicious food for him to tease him, and later lived with the eldest brother, the eldest brother was very dull, and did not like to laugh, always stuffy to do work, the eldest brother found that he was not forgotten to be different from ordinary people, so he asked someone to send him to a private school, and the brothers only saw each other for a few months.

Lin Piao slapped him lightly on the shoulder: "What to move." ”

Shen Hong said softly: "Sister-in-law, itchy......"

Lin Piao had to waste a long time combing his hair bun, and when he saw that Shen Hong was itchy, he tied his hair back with a hairband, didn't touch it again, put down the comb and continued the topic just now.

"Can you memorize what you want to test in the children's exam?"

"If you can memorize it, there should be no mistakes or omissions."

"Really?" Lin Piao wasn't sure if he had any youthful conceit in saying this: "Then you can silently put all the words on the paper, if you can be silent, then don't go to the private school first, and recuperate at home first." ”

"What if the gentleman came to ask?"

"When the gentleman came to ask, he said he was sick." Lin Piao didn't believe it, this gentleman abused children, and he was embarrassed to come to the door to ask for someone.

Shen Hong was shocked by him, and looked at him for a while before lowering his eyelids: "Listen to my sister-in-law, although Mr. is at fault first, but if you come to the door, please don't hurt your sister-in-law." ”

"Don't worry, I'm angry with him."

There was nothing to say for a while, but in the evening, Lin Piao tidied up the mattress for him, although this house is not big, but now only the two of them live, and one room is more than enough: "The house is sorted out for you, you go to rest quickly, go to bed early." ”

"Hard work sister-in-law."

Lin Piaolin remembered the matter of paper and pen before going to bed, and happened to take inventory of the things in the house, he only knew that there were chickens, ducks, piglets, and a few acres of paddy fields and a dry field, and he knew everything in the cabinet, only some old boxes with large mouths had not been opened and seen.

There was no pen or paper in other places, so Lin Piao simply lit a lamp and held it in his hand, and opened the tattered boxes with the light.

Take a look.

What is this, some tattered fabrics, wood, household use, copper lamp handles, sewing boxes, not to mention paper, not even a brush tube.

Shen Hong heard movement in the next room, and when he walked in, he saw his sister-in-law opening his mother's dowry box widely, choking on the dust so that his sister-in-law coughed again and again, fanning one hand in front of him, and retreating again and again.

Lin Piao took a few steps back, feeling better, and when he turned around, he saw someone standing in the doorway with his coat on

Shen Hongjing looked at him for a while: "What is my sister-in-law looking for?" ”

"Didn't you say during the day that you should take a pen and paper to transcribe that knowledge, I haven't seen where the pen and paper are for a long time."

"The family is poor, how can there be paper and pen."

Lin Piao touched the tip of his nose stupidly: "I thought you all had paper and pencils, since you don't have one, I'll go to the town tomorrow to buy some for you, this can't be delayed." ”

Lin Piao is a little difficult to say, not to mention the cost of going to the town, in this era, paper and pen are so expensive, can their family really have money to buy paper and pencils?

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao with a hesitant expression: "Sister-in-law, you don't need a pen and paper, I just remember it in my heart and never forget it." ”

"How can this work?"

Although he didn't go to the private school, he left a sum of money and other meals that needed to be given, but these money were originally living money, and Shen Hong's brother spent it while earning, and now there is no one in the family who makes money, and there is not much money left.

"Don't worry about so much, keep the poems and books in your head firmly in mind, and I have my own way to do the rest." Lin Piao said and sent him to sleep: "Go to bed early, if you don't sleep well, your head will not shine." ”

Shen Hong left in response.

It was night, and the lights in the courtyard of the eldest of the Da Shen family had not been extinguished, and the old couple were sitting opposite each other pondering things.

The eldest aunt secretly hated in her heart: "Lin Piao's little cheap hooves are greedy, and he refuses to let go of any other words, a newly married brother is still so tender and difficult to entangle, I don't know how many twists and turns there are in my stomach, if we don't keep an eye on him in the future, Hong'er will really be pinched by him." ”

The eldest uncle shook his head: "In the woman's opinion, he grabbed Shen Hong and didn't let go just for the Shen family's little things, he wanted to eat and drink, he was lazy and greedy, he didn't do anything just to eat, he had no money in his hand and couldn't afford Shen Hong in a few days, how could we not deal with him." ”

The eldest aunt nodded again and again: "Yes, the villagers will not have anything to say in their eyes, he is young now, maybe he will think about the man in a few years, being a widow is difficult everywhere, and there is a way to treat him." ”

The eldest uncle frowned, he was a scholar, how could he hear these vulgar words, and immediately stopped talking.

The two talked about it almost, blowing the lamp and resting.

On the other side, there was still a commotion in the second aunt's room.

"Lin Piao, that slut, it's best to ask the sky to send a thunder to kill him! Even the little cub was chopped to death, and he had a good family business, so that an outsider took it, and the little cub actually favored him! White-eyed wolf! ”

The second uncle sat on the kang and pondered for a long time: "There is still no way to take him, if you send him away and remarry him quickly." ”

"He is willing to marry two suns in the sky! He's just going to be the end of our family! ”

"Not necessarily." The second uncle thought about it, and whispered a few words to the second uncle.

The second aunt's eyes suddenly lit up: "What you said is on point!" ”

Chapter 5

Lin Piao got up early in the morning and intercepted the second aunt and the second pillar before they went up the mountain with the basket on their backs.

"Second aunt, I'll go with you."
