"Okay."

"The list has been sent over, do the students know?"

"Now that I've got a reply, I'll let them know later."

"Well, if you take care of them, you should also take care of yourself, and if there are any books that you haven't memorized, you should read them closely first, and you can't delay yourself because of others."

"Yes."

The two of them were talking with brown sugar water, and there was a rustling sound outside as they spoke.

"It's raining."

After another ring, Lin Piao walked to the eaves with the bowl in his hand, looked up at the eaves, stretched out a hand to pick it up, and waited for a while before one or two small dots hit the palm of his hand.

Lin Piao withdrew his hand and watched the thin snow particles turn into a small drop of water in the palm of his hand, and looked at Shen Hong with surprise on his face: "It's not rain, it's snowing!" ”

Shen Hong looked at his face, as if he was also infected by such a smile, and walked under the eaves to watch the thin snow rice rustle down: "It's snowing." ”

Chapter 54

It snowed for most of the day, and in the morning it was thin snow and rice, and in the afternoon it turned into fluffy snow flocculents, one by one swinging down from the white sky.

In the evening the snow stopped, and in the night it began to fall again, and when I woke up the next day, I opened the window, and the yard was covered with a white and fluffy layer of snow.

Lin Piao's body was still a little chilly, so he closed the window and went back to the quilt after looking at the snowy scene outside, and covered himself for a while until his body was completely warmed before getting dressed and getting up.

The students had already started their morning studies outside, and they all put on thick winter coats, and even Erzhu, the hottest one, had wrapped up their winter coats, some of which were new, some of which were old, and some of which were patched.

Lin Piao got up when Shen Hong saw him sideways, flipped his hand with one hand, and pointed to the clay pot with the other.

Lin Piao walked over, opened the lid and saw that it was hot brown sugar, red dates, longan, and a pot of black and red warmth.

Lin Piao poured a bowl and drank it first, his whole stomach was hot, and he couldn't help but sneeze twice, and the cold air was expelled at once.

Lin Piao patted Shen Hong on the shoulder: "Thank you, it's good to study." After saying that, he went out in a hurry and went to the second aunt's side for breakfast.

As soon as the snow fell, they spent the rest of their time sitting together roasting and peeling peanuts.

Halfway through the peel, he heard a knock on the door outside, Lin Piao was already groggy from the fire, Zheng Qiu stood up: "I'll open the door and see who I'm looking for." ”

After a while, Zheng Qiu's voice came from outside: "Piao'er, the student's father and mother are looking for you." ”

"Come in, I'm not going out when it's too cold outside."

Lin Piao nestled beside the fire, holding a bowl of hot water in his hand to warm his hands, and from time to time he lowered his head to take a sip, and the footsteps outside were dense, and after a while, several parents of students came in, some came to their fathers, some came to their mothers, some of them were all there, and there were seven or eight people together.

Lin Piao was not in good spirits, and he didn't know what they had come here for today, so the second aunt stood up to entertain them.

"Why is this snow coming all of a sudden, is there something wrong, sit down, bake the fire, and look at the snow all over here."

"We won't sit down, we're here to ask Lin Piao if we have something to ask."

Lin Piao raised his eyes: "What's the matter, you ask." ”

"Let me ask you, when it comes to going to the exam in the spring next year, did you say that it would be ranked according to the results? As soon as my family heard about this, they told us that they were so happy that they read day and night, and they were reciting books in their dreams, so they thought that they could go to the county government to take the exam once. ”

"Yes, my son too, it's not that it's so cold this day, it's not that it will get cold all at once, he used to get up early every day, so he sat up and read a book in such a cold weather, how can he not feel distressed when he looks at it!"

They felt that Xie Linpiao and Shen Hong were teaching their children to read and planning for their children, but they were very distressed when they saw it, and they couldn't let their efforts go in vain.

Lin Piao nodded, not very energetic: "So you have ideas about the ranking." ”

"That's right! Just have an idea! ”

"We came to ask why my son couldn't go, how did this arrangement go, you chose the first few to follow you, did you not like it as long as it came later?"

The second aunt was a little apprehensive when she saw this scene, and she wanted to persuade everyone to sit down and talk, but when she saw the expressions of these people, she didn't know how to persuade her: "Hello everyone, don't get excited." ”

Lin Piao put down the bowl and spread his hand on the small stove: "How many of you belong to a family, and how many children are there?" ”

"Four, one for me, one for them, two for them, two for the four of them."

"According to what you just said, your children are working very hard, and they are all carrying day and night, so let alone choosing one of the four children, you can choose one of the four children first, which one do you think is appropriate?"

"I'm sure I'm going to be a child! How serious I am! ”

"My son! My son recited the book until midnight, and those who did not add lamp oil once in a few months now have to add lamp oil at two ends in three days! ”

"My son! He's sick and still studying, and his nose has been so blocked that he can't speak for the past two days! ”

Several people had different opinions, and they almost got into a fight on the spot when they talked about who worked harder, who worked harder, and who read more and hurt their bodies more.

"Reading is not to see who stays up late and stays up longer and better, all the children are very good, first of all, the reason for choosing the children who come early, they come early, learn early, even if they don't light the lamp to boil wax, the time is also an extra month or two, you here light the lamp and boil the wax may not be able to catch up with this time, they learn well, and there will always be a chance after that."

The person in charge glanced at the second aunt: "Then let me ask you, why can Erzhu also go?" He was the worst learner among the people who came before, and some of the best people in the small class had caught up with him, so how could he go, and some people went through the back door. ”

Of course, the second aunt knew who they were talking about, and her face was embarrassed for a while, but she didn't dare to refute it, she knew the situation of her second pillar herself, although Lin Piao always said that the water drops and the stone wore through, but his stone was too big, and it was estimated that a small pit would only drip out in the past half a year.

But she was reluctant to say that she didn't let Erzhu go, since Erzhu knew that he was going to take the exam, he was also an endorsement day and night, and she was so frightened by this that she was in a hurry to learn like a fire in her ass, and she watched it day by day, and couldn't say that her Erzhu was not as good as a person, so she simply told him not to go.

Lin Piao thought for a while: "I'm not getting well now, my mouth is very dry, and I only say it once, first, this matter is not original, it was begged for by me, so no matter who goes and who doesn't, it can't be the fault of me and Shen Hong, second, I used Erzhu as an introduction in front of Lord County Cheng, and it's one thing if he doesn't pass the exam, but if he doesn't go to the exam and asks Lord County Cheng, how can I tell him." ”

Lin Piao glanced at them, and naturally could see their thoughts, they felt that they had opened the back door for the second aunt, but the second pillar had that share at the beginning, and later he mentioned it to Shen Hong, and Shen Hong also approved the matter of letting him go to the exam, which was basically such an arrangement.

They didn't want to refute it when they heard it, they just wanted Lin Piao to give them an explanation, to give them an explanation, Lin Piao would still be sick, and they didn't want to say too much to him, not to mention that what he said was not unreasonable and unreasonable.

"Alas, Piao'er, I know you're working hard, you're tired for the sake of the children, but this matter ......" They still can't get over it.

Lin Piao looked at them: "The most important thing is that the child is good at studying, he can't take the exam this year, he can always take the exam next year if he studies for one more year, and he who goes to the exam this year is just to test the water first, and he can't say anything else." ”

"You are talking nonsense, Shen Hong will definitely go to the county government to study next year, and where will there be books to read next year?"

Lin Piao thought that what they were worried about was this.

"I will ask Shen Hong to lay a good foundation for them, and then leave the books that the test students need, so that even if he leaves the village, your children can still memorize and study by themselves and continue to improve."

At first, they were just holding their children to learn to recognize a few words and add a skill, but seeing their children reading day and night, the children's exams shook in front of their eyes again, and it seemed that it was no longer a matter of the far side of the world for them to take the exam, and their ideas were enough or enough, and their hearts as parents were moved, thinking that if they could raise a child for a few years, it would be the glory of the ancestral tomb to smoke from the green smoke! At this time, he thought that Shen Hong might be about to leave after taking the Tongsheng exam, and they were anxious and unsettled, and their hearts settled down after listening to Lin Piao's words.

Since Lin Piao had also made plans for the future for their children, they knew that it would be just nonsense to mention the ranking matter again, so they stopped mentioning the ranking matter, and talked softly and kindly, asking him what medicine he was taking, and if he wanted to help him go to the old uncle to get the side medicine.

Lin Piao's face turned blue when he heard the medicine.

They talked here for a while, and one by one they called Lin Piao Duoduo to take care of their bodies and went home first, but they watched the people outside the door and did not leave.

Lin Piao looked at her face, couldn't remember which child's parent she was, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The man walked in, the first time he came here, he was a little restrained and embarrassed: "You are Lin Piao, right?" I brought my daughter here to read and write, and we are related to Juan'er, who is studying with you, and my daughter is Juan'er's cousin. She hurriedly pulled the relationship.

"Oh." Lin Piao had the impression that he was the one who taught the Void Golden Turtle Son-in-law the art of painting cakes.

She hurriedly beckoned: "Xiaoyue, come here, come and see your sister-in-law." She knew that Lin Piao was a powerful person, but she didn't expect that it was such a powerful person, that strong, silent, and not blowing his beard and glaring, and that he could speak well so that he couldn't say anything else.

How is this a widow?!

If there is a man in the family, he must not be trained like a grandson? He pointed to the east and did not dare to fight the west, and he said that he did not dare to drink thin rice if he ate dry rice.

She originally wanted her daughter to learn to read and write, and she would be superior to others when she said it in the future, maybe she could take the opportunity to find a good husband, but now that she saw Lin Piao, she thought that she had come to the right place! If she learns these skills from him, she will be able to deal with men in the future!

As soon as she beckoned, a girl jumped in through the door, actually trotting two steps, but she walked high as if she had stumbled in.

"Hello sister-in-law! I'm Satsuki! Juan'er's cousin, Juan'er introduced me to study! As she spoke, she smiled at Lin Piao, looking like I had used the method you taught me.

Lin Piao saw her smiling happily, and then smiled: "Okay, it's good to come, I don't have any rules to abide by here, Xiaoyue just come like Juanzi." ”

"I brought grain here, all of which are rice from this year, and more than a dozen eggs, and I heard Juan'er say that they can be given on a monthly basis, but now I will send some first, and I will send them next month."

"Yes, you can, just don't postpone it."

"That's for sure! Such a mouthful of food can still be afforded! ”

Lin Piao looked at Xiao Yue: "Then I'll call Juanzi over later, let Juanzi take you to read and write and enter the door first, you can also play with Juanzi on weekdays, but you can't play when you are studying, and don't listen to Juanzi because you are a cousin Juanzi is a cousin." ”

"That's for sure!"

Xiao Yueniang counted the grain as Lin Piao's noodles, and pulled Xiao Yue to give some instructions before leaving in the snow.

Lin Piao called Juanzi over and asked her to take Xiaoyue to recognize words first: "In the future, you will have a class with Mr. Shen in the morning, and you will teach Xiaoyue the introductory words in the afternoon." After speaking, Lin Piao looked at Xiaoyue again: "In the future, you will study with the small class in the morning, write down the pronunciation in the preview textbook, and learn with Juanzi in the afternoon. ”

After all, they are all about ten years old, and compared to children who may not even be able to express their meaning clearly compared to five or six years old, they don't know how much inspiration there is.

Xiao Yue and Juanzi nodded, and the two of them took their textbooks and began to study alone in the hall on the second aunt's side.

Due to the short days and long nights and the fact that the weather was too cold, it was no longer like before that the children could carry it with their yang energy, and after the first snow, Shen Hong changed the time to go to and from school, and each pushed it for half an hour, going to school half an hour later, and leaving school half an hour earlier.

Although Shen Hong arranged the students in this way, he still had the same schedule as before, and every time Lin Piao pushed the window to see how big the snow was outside, he could see the faint light of the lights in Shen Hong's house.

Lin Piao rested for several days, and only when he was well did he pick up the arithmetic class, thinking that they were now nervous about studying, and reduced the original 20 minutes a day to 10 minutes a day.

As a gentleman, Shen Hong has the dignity of a gentleman, and he has basically learned everything before the start of class, and when the students start to learn, he is on the side to tutor, without any stage fright that he is also a student.

The most impressive thing for Lin Piao is Ergou, his brain is not good, and when others are still looking at the sky with their fingers and can't go around the bend, he has already come up with a solution to the problem, and his mouth is numb and he reads the numbers in a circle, and the answer is like eating watermelon and spitting out seeds.

Lin Piao thought to himself that it was no wonder that the teachers in the previous class would like some naughty children, the skin is really skinny, and the brain is really fast.

Although Xiaoyue is a newcomer, she has a much more lively personality than Juan'er, probably usually runs and jumps a lot, her body is better, and her memory is also good.

Recently, there was another heavy snowfall, and the heavens and the earth had only turned a thin layer of white, and you could still see the original color, but now it has completely turned white, and even the mountains are white, and not a single trace of green can be revealed.

Lin Piao's ears were always red from the cold, so the second aunt made him an ear protector with the rabbit fur she had saved before, and the snow-white fur tufted his cheeks.

Later, the second aunt saw that he looked good in it, and made another one for Shen Hong and Erzhu.

Ergou looked greedy, and asked the second aunt for a rabbit skin that he had saved, and took it home and asked his mother to make one for him.

When the other students saw this, they all came to ask for a copy of the rabbit they had hit, but Da Zhuang had never hit anything in the exercise class because he was weak, and he couldn't speak even if the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

Seeing this, the second aunt privately gave Zheng Qiu a copy, and he sewed an ear protector for Da Zhuang, and the next day Da Zhuang came to school happily wearing it.

Lin Piao wore white-haired ear guards, and Erzhu wore black-haired ear guards, and the two squatted in front of the rabbit nest with their sleeves folded, watching the new rabbits tremble and huddle together.

"I can really give birth, I actually gave birth to eleven of them."

Erzhu nodded: "I heard Li Shoumai say that rabbits can give birth to rabbits like this, and some litters can give birth to more, saying that they can give birth to one litter in two months, six litters in a year, and each cub can give birth to cubs after six months." ”

"Oh my God......"

The second pillar shook his head pretendedly: "There is no end to the children and grandchildren...... Rabbit meat, rabbit skin, inexhaustible, inexhaustible! ”

Lin Piao hurriedly asked Erzhu to stop: "How can anyone say this in front of people, it's too terrible, let's go, let's talk about it inside." ”

Lin Piao stood up, Erzhu shook the snow on his body and followed quickly, Shen Hong was wearing a gray-haired earmuff, holding a book in his hand and sitting by the stove to read, the indoor light was a little dim, it seemed that his skin was extraordinarily white, there was a layer of delicate luster in the dimness, and the texture was like a thin jade, Shen Hong saw the two of them come in and glanced sideways, and then withdrew his gaze and continued to fall on the book.
