Chapter 46

After Lin Piao and the second aunt finished joking, they turned around and continued to teach Juan'er to read and write, Juan'er was timid, and every time she encountered a word that she couldn't read, she shrank her head and looked at him pitifully, looking like she was afraid of being disliked.

Lin Piao touched her head: "Juan'er, I know a few words now, the brain is really smart, there is such a smart brain in our village." ”

Juan'er doesn't believe in such words, but what does the sister-in-law want to lie to her? She couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so she could only quietly think in her heart, maybe she was a little smart, and she relaxed a lot when she thought about it, and a smile slowly appeared on her face little by little.

Lin Piao taught her to write and write for a while, and when she thought of what would happen after the spring exam next year, she couldn't help but think about it for a while, since they came here to read and read and write, they didn't expect to be able to let them have many attainments in poetry and books, so why didn't he teach the basic algorithm of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division together?

Lin Piao thought about God and ran away, until Juan'er softly called him to come back to his senses, and when he looked down, Juan'er wrote several good words in a row, and the last one was particularly right, every stroke was very straight, and a pair of big round eyes looked at him embarrassedly and secretly.

Lin Piao pondered for a while, probably wanting to show that he had practiced good-looking words? Lin Piao carefully studied the straight and stiff words, and gave a thumbs up in approval: "Talent, this is called talent, Juan'er, you are simply amazing." ”

Juan'er sat on a small stool, her face flushed from praise, and she lowered her head and wrote vigorously, with a posture that she was about to carve the bamboo slips to pieces.

The second aunt kept snickering when she passed by, Piao'er had a sweet mouth, when Erzhu and Ergou came to study, they also had this posture, and when they saw Shen Hong reading, they also had this posture, saying that what kind of happy teaching, encouraging teaching, one by one had to blow him so much that he couldn't find the edge, and Ergou now swears that with his own wisdom and talent, he can take the test next year if he works hard.

Lin Piao was thinking about the matter of arithmetic, and at the same time he was thinking about another thing, and when the big guys got together for dinner at noon, he first placed Juan'er next to the second aunt and told her to watch it, and he sat down next to Shen Hong.

"Shen Hong, I wonder if we should go and meet Lord Xiancheng this year." Lin Piao hinted at him with his eyes.

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao's appearance of raising his eyebrows and handing his eyes, holding the bowl and holding the chopsticks silently.

I don't understand it too much.

What kind of whimsy does my sister-in-law have again......

"It's just that you have to take the exam at the beginning of spring next year, and I heard that you have to have a guarantor for the exam, and now we haven't written the eight characters yet, so we will get together the people before the winter, and when the snow closes the mountains in the cold winter, it will be difficult for us to go out for activities, and the snow will melt in the spring, and it will be too late to catch up with the activities."

Shen Hong nodded, he had a rough candidate in mind, but since his sister-in-law said it, it would be okay for the county to take a walk.

"Since you nodded, we will prepare and go in the next two days, and the old gentlemen who promised you to go to study at the Deer Cave Academy, do you think you want to pay a visit?" Lin Piao thought about it for a while, there were endless ways to use relationships in ancient times, and it was very annoying to get it, but if you didn't move around, those old men would be a lot older, and if they turned their heads and forgot the promises made at that time after a long time, it would be over.

Shen Hong thought for a moment: "Let's wait until we get to the county government, sister-in-law will eat first, don't worry too much about these things." ”

I met with the county first, and then I saw how it worked, and now there are not many things that can be decided and arranged in their hands, and many things are not arranged, but only the timing of the moment.

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong's half-lowered eyes after speaking, his eyelashes half-covered the dark pupils and began to eat seriously, and he felt that he didn't need to think too much, although Shen Hong needed to arrange many things, but it was only limited to life and diet, once he entered the county government, when it came to the occasion of entertainment, he knew how to operate better than Lin Piao.

Is this little cub a natural political animal? This thought came out of Lin Piao's startle, and he felt that he was a little too high and exaggerated of Shen Hong's talent, which was actually just some of the innate ability of a smart child to observe words and feelings.

After the two agreed in this way, they felt that the specific time was good for the students to take a vacation, and since they were visited at the county government this time, they would definitely not be able to go empty-handed like last time, but after thinking about it, they could not afford to give away expensive goods, so even if they exchanged all the belongings in the cabinet for silver money to buy gifts, they would not necessarily send them to the heart of the county lord.

Agricultural products?

It's not impossible, Lin Piao's brain made up for the appearance of himself holding Shen Hong with his left hand and holding agricultural products with his right hand.

"Lin Piao into the City"

Thinking about it, Lin Piao couldn't help but sigh: "Auntie, what do you say is the best and most amazing thing in our family now?" ”

"What else can it be, those cubs, one by one, grab the first, and they have to be the best and the most amazing."

"Auntie, I'm serious."

"Seriously? If you want to say that it is serious, it must be the food, we here one is to teach well, the other is to eat well, all over the village to inquire, who has us here to eat well, have eaten our things here, there is no one who does not love, especially the pickled pepper rabbit, appetizing, and tender, really old nose fragrant, no longer love to eat people do not love this mouthful, especially just out of the pot steaming time, rabbit diced into the mouth of a sip, tsk, that taste. ”

"Then let's send some pickled pepper rabbit dices to the county to taste?"

"This is a good idea, it doesn't cost anything, this dish is fresh and fresh, and it shows the heart, and there is nothing else to say, these mushrooms are fried with meat or something, no matter how well they are done, they must have eaten it, and they can't eat any kind of big fish and meat in the county government, just this pickled pepper rabbit maybe the county Cheng and the county Cheng lady have not eaten this bite, but if they are ready and brought over, it will be cold, and when it is hot, it will also taste good, but the hot dish does not look as bright and beautiful as the new pot." The more the second aunt talked, the more worried she became.

"Then let's not do it yet, chop the rabbit dice, mix the ginger, shallots, pickled peppers, oil and salt, bring it over and make it steaming, and serve it fresh." In the prefabricated semi-finished product, Lin Piao still has some experience.

When the second aunt heard this, she felt worried: "Is this really okay?" I don't know if it tastes like this. ”

"Auntie, don't worry, this meat and ingredients are mixed together and marinated for a while, it will only be more delicious and flavorful." As soon as the gift was finalized, Lin Piao had nothing to do and began to think about the matter of getting started.

One is that he must have the kind of stamina that Shen Hong has, and he can sit for hours reading and teaching, and the second is that literacy is the most important thing now, and it is not good to delay too many children's time because of arithmetic.

At most, let Shen Hong get out of school early, leave a twenty minutes for him, and let him lay a foundation for these children with the concept of basic algorithms, so that no matter what happens in the future, there will be another direction for the development of basic skills.

Lin Piao took this matter to heart and planned to discuss it with Shen Hong first, and then start implementing it after returning from the county government.

That night, Lin Piao walked into Shen Hong's room again and sat on his kang and began to talk to him about it.

Shen Hong's expression was very calm, so calm that he had lost the slightest wave, and just looked at Lin Piao quietly: "Sister-in-law, you said." ”

After Lin Piao expressed his thoughts and concepts, he saw Shen Hong's eyes looking at him, and his heart suddenly felt a little empty: "Actually, this is not a great thing, there was someone in our village who understood it, so I just learned a little bit from him, and now it is just passing it on to the children." ”

Shen Hong nodded, not delving into why his village was full of people who knew such advanced knowledge.

Lin Piao saw him nodding his head, and tried to recite the mantra to him: "I'll read it down for you, I won't be able to write what you know." Lin Piao didn't want to write and write Arabic numerals, and then be asked what the hell was a mysterious rune or something.

Lin Piao memorized the multiplication table, and Shen Hong listened to him write down the things one by one, and his originally calm expression became more and more serious, and he did not raise his head until he finished writing: "Sister-in-law, this thing is very exquisite, if you change the numbers in this way, add or subtract the numbers in order, and the numbers in the world are inexhaustible." ”

"No...... your brain is more subtle.

Lin Piao looked at him in shock in Shen Hong's shocked eyes, and he didn't know which of the two people was more shocked at this moment.

Old Swan ......

He had just given a multiplication table, and Shen Hong had already thought of increasing the multiplication list in turn to expand the multiplication list infinitely to solve all the ledger problems.

Based on such a sentence, Lin Piao knew that even if Shen Hong did not enter politics in the future, he would be able to become a gold medal accountant.

Lin Piao could only give a thumbs up.

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law, am I wrong?"

"Shen Hong, your brain is too smart, how can there be such a smart person as you in the world." This time Lin Piao was sincere.

Shen Hong's ears turned red when he was said: "There is no end to learning and I have a cliff in my life, what kind of ...... am I?"

Lin Piao reached out and touched Shen Hong's head, and there was a subtle feeling that he had rubbed the poor and young form of the big guy.

"You say how slowly time flies, if only you could grow up all at once."

"Sister-in-law wants Hong to grow up quickly?"

"No...... I mean, it's good to grow up reasonably, after all, the teenage years are also very important. ”

Lin Piao had tears in his heart, he just wanted to make a fortune quickly, but Shen Hong was not a seedling, and he could change from one harvest a year to two harvests a year.

Shen Hong was slightly positive: "Hong will grow up faster, and he won't disappoint his sister-in-law." ”

The two discussed the matter, and the next afternoon after class practiced as scheduled, but these children did not have Shen Hong's understanding, just like teaching primary school students, starting with the teaching of addition and subtraction, starting from the foundation of "there are ten eggs in one basket to take five and a few left."

After counting the eggs for two days, adding eggs minus eggs and multiplying eggs to remove eggs, Lin Piao even had eggs in his dreams, and he sat in the eggs surrounded by giant eggs.

After two days like this, I can finally stop for a while, and the day has come to visit the county government.

The second aunt first prepared a clean and decent round-bellied large-mouth clay pot, and still prepared everything according to the previous process of making rabbits, but in the end it was not fried in the pot, but all put it into the porcelain pot and turned it evenly.

"Okay, when the time comes, I will ensure that the freshness is accurate, this thing is heavy, let Erzhu also follow, help you carry things, and if something happens, you can also help."

"This has already delayed the class, it is not good to delay him to play, I see that he is repairing the bow early in the morning, and he should be going to the mountains to hunt and play."

"Hunting is a big deal, let him follow you to the county government, meet people and things, and see a little bit of the world, there are so many fun things outside, it's not better than him tinkering in the mountains."

Lin Piaoqi really felt that Erzhu had a talent for hunting, but since the second aunt said this, he couldn't ignore it, so he went and called Erzhu to him.

When Erzhu heard it, he didn't know that it was arranged by his mother, but he thought that Mr. Shen and his sister-in-law went to the county government to help carry things, so he naturally put down his bow without saying a word: "This is on me." ”

As he spoke, he took a large clay pot in one hand and got into the bullock cart at the door.

This time, Zhou Xishan did not follow, thinking that he and Shen Hong had already become acquainted with each other in the county government, and even the county and the county lady were acquaintances, so where did they need someone to follow them.

However, the lieutenant urged Zhou Xishan to follow, but Zhou Xishan himself was unwilling.

The chief looked at him and muttered in his heart: "Why, I see that you used to love to follow Lin Piao." ”

"He has his own business, and I always follow what it is."

"Do you really think so?" The lieutenant looked at him suspiciously, he didn't know his own children, and at the beginning he felt that Zhou Xishan was a little bit interested in Lin Piao, he had never seen him hand bread to anyone before, and his expression was still shy.

Later, after returning from the county government, he saw Lin Piao's ability and naturally no longer felt that he was a widow as before, and began to have the intention to match this matter, and asked Zhou Xishan to go to the audit and go to the second aunt to help with the work, and they went to the county government and asked Zhou Xishan to follow to help with the handle.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, seeing that Lin Piao and Xi Shan have stayed together for a long time and don't have that rusty energy, the two should be more and more close together, why is Xi Shan still awkward.

"You don't care about this matter, I always care about what he does, people go to the county government to see the county lord, and everyone eats and drinks with the county lord. Zhou Xishan didn't say that they were angry with the maid in the county mansion before, Lin Piao felt that it was him and Shen Hong who were talking about him, but he and Shen Hong were the people who regarded the county lord and his wife as guests after all.

And in his heart, the relationship between him and Lin Piao has ended, maybe it started to develop a little, but it really can't develop later.

When he first saw Lin Piao, he felt that the world in front of him lit up, and then he thought about it carefully, he felt that he had not married a wife, and the elders in the family were elders, and Lin Piao was a widow, and he still had a little uncle by his side who couldn't leave.

But I don't know why, it's obviously from the same village, Lin Piao usually looks very easy to get along with, but a little closer he knows that Lin Piao and him are not the same kind of people, they can't go together, Lin Piao is not suitable for this village, maybe Shen Hong will be famous in the future, they can go to live in the county government, or live in the state capital, those places are worthy of Lin Piao.

Lin Piao didn't get close to him or a feeling of closeness between the two, all the relationships were faint, and Lin Piao didn't intend to lower his eyes to look at him.

Zhou Xishan didn't know why, he always felt like this, the relationship between them needed Lin Piao to lower his eyes to see him, obviously the relationship between him and Lin Piao was not like this, maybe Lin Piao had a pride in his heart.

Thinking of Lin Piao's appearance of wanting to buy what he saw when he was in the county government, and not thinking about the money at all, Zhou Xishan could only wish Lin Piao a good life as soon as possible.

Lin Piao heard that Zhou Xishan didn't come this time just because he had something to do, where did he know that he was thinking so much in his heart, but it didn't matter, Lin Piao and Shen Hongerzhu were already sitting on the ox cart to the county government, and they were basking their cheeks in the sun that had just come out of the sky on the way.

In the last few warm days of autumn, the sun is not hot or cold like a boiled egg, and the weather does not know when it will come to the end of the face, in short, today's weather is very good.

"The weather is so nice!"

"The weather is so nice!" Erzhu echoed: "I really want to sleep." ”

Lin Piao laughed out loud: "Is it a tradition to sleep in the car?" ”

"Then sister-in-law, you said you want to sleep."

"I slept last time, you didn't see it, if you want to sleep, this time I'll let you sleep with Shen Hong, I'll just look at things." Lin Piao slept well today, and his sleepiness did not rise at all.

Erzhu looked at Shen Hong, and Shen Hong shook his head: "I don't sleep." ”

"Then I don't sleep either...... I'm not sleepy. Erzhu no longer had the bad temper he used to have in front of Shen Hong, and he was even very respectful, and Shen Hong said that if he didn't sleep, he naturally didn't dare to say that he wanted to sleep.

"You are more afraid of Shen Hong now than before." Lin Piaodu still remembered what Erzhu looked like before, and there was a big sentence written on his face about literacy, hum I don't accept it.

"Sister-in-law, you are talking nonsense, I have always respected my husband." Erzhu hurriedly said.

Shen Hong smiled and said nothing, the rising sun shone on his side face, and a faint smile bloomed on his lips, such trivial words, some meaningless rebuttals, he didn't find it interesting before, it turned out that there was something interesting in such words.

The three of them fought all the way to the county government, because of the relationship between the previous two visits, there were quite a few people who knew him, but seeing that they were not as excited as before, they just took a new look and said hello: "Are you coming to the county government again?" ”

"Ah, yes."

"Come buy something? Look at my side of the dishes? ”
