A group of people suddenly felt that there was hope, to say that reading was a good thing, they didn't spare people to talk about Lin Piao's strengths, but they were still scared of Lin Piao in their hearts, such a young and powerful brother, if they don't get along well, they don't know how to toss them and toss them.

Lin Piao's side had just finished dinner, and the fried cabbage in lard and steamed pumpkin were eaten, Lin Piao didn't think there were any new tricks, so he let the second aunt steam an egg to eat.

"How can this egg be steamed enough to eat, you say steamed three, it is enough for one person to taste a mouthful."

"Three eggs with some water and some salt are enough." Lin Piao measured out the amount of a bowl of water: "Probably these are enough, I'm not afraid of too much water, and the steamed eggs are tender." ”

Although the second aunt was a little skeptical, she had already believed that Lin Piao was a person who knew how to eat after a few times, although sometimes she had never heard of strange words.

"Just steam it for a while, and then put a small piece of lard to enhance the flavor, sprinkle a pinch of wild onions, not to mention how delicious." Lin Piao thought that it was a pity that there was no soy sauce now, so he could only watch the second aunt busy working next to the stove.

When it is steamed, a large bowl of tender raw yellow and clear eggs is brought out, and then sprinkled with chopped green onions, not to mention how tempting it is on the table, and adults and children are full of praise for eating.

Erzhu held the bowl and ate it in a big gulp: "Meat oil is fragrant when cooking, and this egg is more tender than tofu when it comes out like this." ”

Ergou also raised his head: "Little sister-in-law, you know so much, where did you learn it?" ”

"I just think about it in my heart when I'm idle, and I think it must be delicious." Lin Piao said and added a large spoonful of eggs to Shen Hong.

"My sister-in-law knows so much."

"That's it."

It's just that these days, the evergreen cabbage and radish can only eat a decent meal of meat in three or four days, and a few children are growing up, and if they don't eat some good supplementary nutrition, it must not affect their physical development?

His own can't be slaughtered and eaten, Lin Piao pondered for a while.

After dinner, Lin Piao asked them not to go home for the time being: "I have something to discuss with you later, we have to expand the scope of study and develop in an all-round way a little." ”

Ergou Erzhu and Dasheng said that they didn't understand too much, but this didn't prevent them from cheering, anyway, what the sister-in-law said must be good, and the sister-in-law can still harm them.

"Shen Hong, come here."

Shen Hong raised his eyelids and got up from behind the desk, he was still carving, and now the work of cutting bamboo pieces and wearing bamboo slips was handed over to his apprentices, but his daily KPI did not decrease, but increased day by day, he seemed to want to carve down all the books he could memorize.

Lin Piao called Shen Hong to his side as a teaching assistant: "I've vaguely heard that there is something called archery, right?" It seems to be called what are the six arts? ”

"Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, books, mathematics, I have skimmed a little."

The two pillars and two dogs Dasheng looked at Shen Hong with a confused and adoring expression.

"What do you mean?"

"Etiquette, musical instruments, archery, driving, literacy, and arithmetic are skills practiced by nobles and even the children of famous families."

"Yes, let's not talk about driving with ceremonial instruments or anything, this archery is a good skill that must be learned."

"Starting tonight, they will learn to make bows and strings, exercise their ability to make and do their hands, and after they make them, we will go to the mountains to learn archery, and at the same time be able to hunt and eat, what do you think?"

Dasheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I know how to do this, I have seen the nearby hunters do it before, we make a small bow, rub the hemp rope to make the string, and we can make it on the same day." ”

The two pillars and the two dogs on the side were also ready to move, the boy's family didn't like these things that danced with guns and swords, just thinking about them made them think how interesting they could be in the mountains in the future.

Shen Hong hesitated, but nodded his head: "Since you want to climb the mountain to exercise, there is no problem with bringing a small bow." ”

He thought that his sister-in-law wanted to hunt to subsidize the family, and how could he refuse after some painstaking efforts, not to mention that it was indeed beneficial to them.

"Very good, after all, the bow and arrow are sharp weapons that hurt people, it is enough to make a small one, mainly practice, if it is done well, let's find another day to ask the hunter that Dasheng said, and ask him to give us some pointers, you listen to Dasheng, since Dasheng understands something, then Dasheng is willing to take charge of this matter? It may delay your own rest time after school. ”

"No problem!" Dasheng was overjoyed, he couldn't find any sense of existence in the two days he came here to study, and he was ignored by Erzhu and Ergou for two days, which gave him a chance to perform.

Ergou is okay, as soon as he heard Lin Piao say this, he went to chat with Dasheng on the familiar road, and said with a smile: "We used to dig bird eggs so much fun, and now we can go hunting in the mountains, it's really interesting." ”

Erzhu was a little uneven, but the little emotions didn't last long, Da Sheng waved his hand and asked him to go over to discuss the matter of making a bow, he felt that the other party was taking the initiative to show favor to him, and he passed happily, and soon smiled.

Shen Hong saw that Lin Piao had already arranged the hunting matter, and was about to say something, when he heard Lin Piao's crisp words.

"Mr. has something, the disciple will do it for you, work hard for the three of you, together with your Mr. Shen's handiwork, you Mr. Shen is busy carving a thousand words for you, and he can't take a break."

The second pillar took it in one bite and patted his chest to say that it was no problem.

Shen Hong nodded and returned to his seat.

After the second aunt finished eating, she knew that Lin Piao didn't like to go out and chat with everyone, so she went out for a walk around to eat, and came back in a hurry after a while.

"Piao'er! Piaoer! I just went out for a spin and guess what I heard? ”

"What's the matter? The aunt said slowly, don't worry. ”

The second aunt couldn't wait to pat her thigh: "Hey! How can this make people not in a hurry, the daughter-in-law of the son of the annoying second uncle of your brother-in-law's family said outside that she would also open a small private school to teach people to read and write! Isn't this deliberately going against you?! ”

Lin Piao was almost dizzy, and it took a while to figure out who it was: "The son of the second uncle also has to teach people to read and write?" This is a good thing, he is also a reader and reader, he is willing to come out to teach, there are so many children in the village, there are even more who can read and write. ”

"What stupid things do you stupid boy say, when the time comes, everyone will go to him to read and write, who will come to you."

"Auntie, the elders themselves must be where they go, we can't tie them up and let them only come to us, and Shen Hong's energy is limited, teaching a few students is also considered a playmate, and if there are more, it may not be too noisy, maybe it will affect the learning of the original students of Erzhu and Ergou."

As soon as Lin Piao said this, the second aunt suddenly calmed down: "Piao'er, you're right, it's difficult to discipline Lala when there are too many people." ”

"But if you want to teach well, it must be better on our side, they are going to really open, after a long time, I don't believe you can see the high and low."

"Yes, how can there be any better children in this village than you and Shen Hong, my second pillar used to be like a stubborn cow, and he was taught by you, I don't know how obedient he is, as if he has changed into a different person."

Lin Piao thought about it, the question of students, Lin Piao was not sure how many students he could pull at first, after all, Shen Hong was young, and he had to focus on reading, which could not affect his daily reading KPI, and the environment should not be too noisy and complicated.

"Anyway, they only showed a little wind today, and when they open, I don't know how many days later, let's see it later, but Ming'er, we are going to the mountains, one is to exercise, and the other is to learn archery, will my aunt go with us?"

"Learn archery? Be careful not to hurt anyone. The second aunt suddenly became nervous.

"No, we are in the mountains, we must only let them play in places where there are no people, and I will keep an eye on their hands where there are people, and I will not ask them to move."

"That's good, since you're going, I'll stay in the house and cook, and wait for you to come back to eat."

Lin Piao nodded: "Okay, if there are mushrooms, I will also pick some and fry them." ”

The two joked for a while, Lin Piao went back to his house, thinking about hunting tomorrow, the mountains here are very rich, I don't know how much harvest I can get tomorrow, and I don't know how well Dasheng is doing with their bows, Dasheng usually can catch birds with a slingshot, hunting shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking about it, Lin Piao fell asleep groggily, and at dawn, the second aunt came to call him for breakfast, and several children had already eaten breakfast and started a day of study in his yard.

Lin Piao had repeatedly emphasized before, don't care about him going in and out when he is studying, he got up and went to the yard, Erzhu and Ergou glanced up, and silently lowered their heads and continued to study hard.

Breakfast was still the same as the old three, eggs and red pumpkin, and after Lin Piao ate it, he went to the grass shed to watch the chickens and ducks.

Look at the duck walking in front of him.

Chickens passing by with their paws.

Lin Piao watched for a while to pass the time, and looked at the chicken.

Chapter 21

"Auntie, there are several old hens now, and there is no need for each of them to lay eggs every day, let's hatch one more litter of chicks to raise."

"I also have this meaning, what kind of exercise class are you taking now, every time you go up the mountain, you can beat a lot of pigweed and firewood back, and raise a few more chickens just right, the chicks can grow to lay eggs, and the old hens are just stewed to replenish your body."

"What do I make up for my body?" He's just greedy.

The second aunt patted him on the back and hated him: "How old are you, my brother's mole is light, how can you have children in the future if you don't make up for it." ”

Lin Piao: "......"

After the second aunt finished speaking, she felt that her mouth was about to go, Lin Piao, a widowed brother, and took the little uncle to swear not to remarry, how could there be such a thing as having a child, so she immediately changed the conversation.

"Piao'er, how has my second pillar been studying lately? I look at Ergou and Dasheng as if they are always learning faster than him, is my Erzhu not bright? ”

"Erzhu is still young, just take your time, you won't be in a hurry for a while, second aunt, you put your heart in your stomach, if you are in a hurry every two or three days, Erzhu hasn't read it yet, you can't stand it."

"Alas, I'm not blindly worried, don't you know, my Erzhu's father and his eldest brother are not reading materials, but they have a good strength, I wonder if he is missing the string of reading."

Lin Piao couldn't take this well, after all, Erzhu's reading progress was a little slower, and he heard the second aunt say to herself: "I still have to let him study hard, but he has to have a good life, so that he can have a stable job in the future." ”

Lin Piao asked a little bit, only to know that Erzhu's father and eldest brother were strong, and they were bent on working hard, and they said that they would go out to work and dig coal in the official's mine the year before last, but there was no news until now, and the second aunt asked someone a few times, and they all said that there were no two people at all, and after a long time, she wanted to hear the news of them again, and she was afraid to really hear the news of them, and she hated this hard work even more in her heart.

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely be able to teach Erzhu, there are always more ways than people, and the dead are alive." Lin Piao patted her chest at her, which made the second aunt feel at ease.

At noon, the group had lunch, carried an empty basket on their backs, and prepared to go out with a small bow.

The three of Erzhu and Ergou Dasheng got together, and they seemed to be a lot more affectionate, Dasheng taught them to make bows and arrows, not only did they not take the opportunity to squeeze them, but also helped them do a lot, which made Erzhu and Ergou think that they were a little embarrassed when they didn't wait to see Dasheng before, and the final central idea was one, Dasheng can handle it.

The bow was made of wood, the string was made of fine hemp rope, the arrow was cut from bamboo, and a few bows were packed in the basket.

"Look, sister-in-law! Pheasant, I'll see if I can shoot it down. ”

Dasheng drew his bow and arrows, and with a bang, the first arrow passed by the pheasant's wings and was defeated.

"You can't, you don't have enough strength, look at me." The two pillars had to draw the bow round, and they didn't know where to shoot an arrow, and they were ridiculed for a while, and several people's hearts rose sharply, all of them were competing to see who could shoot it, and even Shen Hong was infected, so he shot a few arrows.

The bow and arrow were pulled, and gradually there was a nod to the head, and several people held their breath and cheered for a while, and it was very lively.

Lin Piao was playing with them, and as he walked, he suddenly saw something green, and looked at it: "Isn't this a mountain pepper?" ”

This mountain pepper blooms in the grass far away from the mountain road, and a small green pepper tree looks too suitable for pickled peppers.

He was about to pick it, and the second dog said, "Little sister-in-law, that one is not delicious, spicy mouth." ”

"It's okay, I'll pick some casually."

Lin Piao is thinking about how to make pickled peppers, and the big Shen family will be jumping chickens and dogs.

The second uncle's son's surname is Shen Mingbo, and he is sulking in his room at the moment.

His daughter-in-law didn't persuade him, nor did he persuade him: "You are unhappy when you come together this morning, why did I provoke you, you just said it, how to show me your face." ”

Shen Bo was recited by her several times before he couldn't bear to speak: "You went all over the village to say that I was going to open a private school to accept students, did you ask me?" I was walking on the road and was asked what was going on. ”

Yuling was also full of grievances: "you, why do you blame me for coming up, it's not that my mother-in-law will do what she says, she said that you want to open a private school, how do I know that you don't want to, I thought that you two had already discussed, just tell me." ”

As soon as he mentioned his mother, Shen Bo was one head and two big: "What did she do to suddenly have this idea, is it ridiculous?" Studying is to gain fame, do these children in the village look like they are trying to gain fame? If you know a few words, you have to be restrained, what will my classmates say about me and think of me when the time comes? ”

"But my mother has made up her mind to ask you to open a private school, what else can I do if I release all the words."

The more Shen Bo thought about it, the more angry he became, and he flicked his sleeves when he looked at Yuling's straightforward appearance and had nothing to do with me: "Forget it, I'll go and talk to my mother myself." ”

After finding his mother, Shen Bo split his head and covered his face to say his thoughts, but what was greeted was his mother's suspicious and incomprehensible eyes.

Was this her child? When I say these words, I'm afraid I don't have a bag in my head.

"Son, most of the children in this village are now moved by Lin Piao, don't you want this benefit, just let Lin Piao and Shen Hong take it? You think it's a shame to be a gentleman, why don't people think about it, Shen Hong doesn't have a reputation on him, he is only a little old, isn't he even more ashamed, but people don't just be gentlemen, and life is called a nourishment. ”

"Mother, then let me ask you, is there a shortage of pumpkins and red potatoes in our family?"

The second aunt was stunned by his question: "There is no shortage of self, what are you asking about this, what do you eat on weekdays." ”
