Gu Changlin's study was filled with columns of books, as well as all kinds of pen and ink, all of which were valuable things.

In the past, no family members were allowed to enter this room casually, especially children who had no light or heavy hands.

Now although Gu Changlin's position as a scholar is precarious, his family still has this attitude, Gu Yi and Mao Dan are not allowed to enter, and only take out the paper, pen, textbook, etc. they want to use in advance.

On an April day, the light was bright enough and the climate was not too hot, so Mrs. Gu asked people to set a table for them in the courtyard for them to study.

The courtyard of the Gu family is quiet, but there are people who go in from time to time, which is just convenient for monitoring Maodan, a child with ADHD.

I have to say that Mao Dan was indeed forced to settle down.

Children generally have a sense of fear of adults, especially when adults are serious, they don't dare to make a mistake, Mao Dan is like this, there is his mother working in the vegetable field in front of the yard, he honestly opens his mouth and reads over and over again.

Gu Yi felt a little bored, he had always learned quickly, he was very efficient, and he was impatient to waste time on the things he knew, he thought, his mother should be planting rice in the field now, he wanted to go to his mother.

Just as Gu Yi got up, Mao Dan grabbed him, "Little lamb, don't leave me and leave." ”

In the past two days, when Gu Changlin taught them to read, Gu Yi was such a temperament, he would leave after he would know, and now Mao Dan knew that he was going to run away again as soon as he saw his movements.

But learning such a boring thing, if you don't have your peers with you, it's simply torture.

Mao Dan dragged Gu Yi and didn't let go.

Gu Yi and he looked at each other, and when the two were at a stalemate, Gu Cui walked in, she smiled gently, "Does the little sheep want to play?" This is just the beginning, can you practice the words for a while? ”

Gu Yi looked at her, he had inherited all the original memories, and of course he knew how good this gentle sister was to him.

Although he didn't think about the existence of people like brothers and sisters in his previous yearning for the family, he couldn't stand the love from the family, so he obediently agreed, lowered his head, and wrote on the board with a pen soaked in water.

This brush and wooden board are provided by his father, the Gu family can't be said to be poor, but they are not rich, and the consumables such as paper are really expensive to use every day, when his father was just enlightened, he practiced in private, and now it has been passed to Gu Yi's hands. Of course, this is also because Gu Yi remembers quickly, the difference between using a sand table and using a brush is too big, after remembering how to write those words one stroke at a time, you can use a brush dipped in water to write.

When Gu Changlin assigns the homework that needs to be checked in the future, he will give them real paper, pen and ink.

At this point, Mao Dan is the same as him.

In order to prevent trouble, Gu Changlin made it clear to Dafang, and the two of them each gave a sand table, a brush, and a board, but Mao Dan's brush was temporarily put away by Yang, and after Mao Dan remembered how to write, he would take it out for Mao Dan to use.

After all, the brush is also a consumable, and it basically costs more than 100 yuan to buy it.

The two children were writing, Gu Cui washed her hands, went back to the house and got a needle and thread, and sat next to them quietly embroidering embroidery, their mother Zhu Qiaoniang's embroidery skills are good, of course Zhu Qiaoniang will teach her daughter. Gu Cui's temperament is quiet and gentle, and she also has a bit of talent in this.

After writing for a while, Gu Yi found that Gu Cui would look at the book in front of him curiously from time to time, he tilted his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Sister, do you want to learn to read and write together?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Cui was taken aback, "I, can I?" ”

Gu Yi nodded, "Of course you can." ”

Gu Cui knew that the family was praising Xiaoyang for his good reading, so he hesitated: "But this won't delay you, right?" ”

"Of course not." Gu Yi said: "Anyway, teaching one is also teaching, and teaching two is the same, so I will read it a few more times, and I will remember it more firmly." ”

If it had been in his previous life, Gu Yi would never have imagined that he would be able to say such empathetic words in such a tone.

He never teaches people slowly and intimately.

In their small group, they don't teach such trivial things.

Gu Cui didn't know what Gu Yi was thinking, she was still immersed in joy, and she was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do, "Then what am I going to do now?" ”

Gu Yi gave her the piece of paper and his own sand table that Mao Dan had learned before, although the words in this world are different from modern times, he basically doesn't need to use the sand table to memorize the glyphs, "Sister is the same as Mao Dan, this is the task that my father wrote for Mao Dan, sister, you start learning from the task on the first day, today first write down the pronunciation of these fifteen words, and then practice how they should be written on the sand table." ”

Gu Cui nodded nervously, afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember.

However, the result was much better than Gu Cui thought, with her efforts, not to say that it was like Gu Yi, but it was also better than Mao Dan.

Mao Dan is not bad, he is ten years old in the end, and his comprehension ability at this age is much stronger than that of a real child, although he cries at the mention of reading, but the tasks assigned every day can be completed on time.

After they had studied for a while, Yang happily let them play, "It's almost noon, remember to come back for dinner by yourself then." ”

"Okay." Mao Dan led his younger siblings and rushed out.

Gu Cui also followed.

Gu Yi asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Mao Dan shouted: "The mulberries in the field over there are red, let's go pick and eat them." "Snacks and the like are rare in the village, so all kinds of things that can be eaten in the mountains have become the favorite things for children.

Gu Yi thought about it and continued to keep up.

In the last days, basically most of the food crops and fruits were mutated and could not be eaten, and mulberries like this were also extremely precious at that time.

Gu Yi is not a heavy appetite, but he is a child now, and it is nothing to be willful, not to mention, he has some other ideas.

A group of several children walked towards the destination, and after walking for a while, Gu Yi saw a big mulberry tree on the edge of a field, which belonged to the Gu family, and they went in directly to pick mulberries without reporting anything to others.

Of course, that was for Mao Dan and Gu Cui, the two eldest children, Gu Yi was relatively short and couldn't reach him.

Gu Cui has always been a good sister who is careful and can take care of people, she pulled the branch down and beckoned Gu Yi and Preserved Eggs, "Little lamb, Preserved Eggs, come to my sister." ”

Gu Yi obediently walked over, picked the red mulberries on it, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

Well, sweet.

After eating a few, he looked at the big tree, there were a lot of mulberries on the tree, and he asked, "Sister Cuicui, is there anyone selling mulberries in the city?" ”

Gu Cui asked, "Do you want to take the mulberries to the city to sell?" ”

It's not impossible, their village is not too far from the city, and the city is the second largest city in Yuzhou, which is quite prosperous and has a lot of people.

Gu Yi nodded, "Studying is too expensive, I think it would be nice if we could earn enough for ourselves." He had heard what his father had said that night, and he still had a dozen taels of silver in his hand.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but reading is an ongoing expense.

His father himself will not give up on reading easily, and Mao Dan has been reading well these days, and Dafang will never agree to the family to choose for him to study at that time, so the final result is obvious, everyone will split up.

When the time comes, each room will provide for itself.

His father's dozen taels of silver have to be used for his father and his two people's study expenses, which is definitely not enough.

And his father's silver, although he didn't say it explicitly, basically got it by currying favor with the young masters in the private school, and Gu Changlin's energy will be used more on reading in the future, and it is not certain whether people are willing to reward him with silver in the future.

He can't let the family's money be cut off, and he doesn't want all the pressure of supporting the family to be put on his mother.

It's a pity that for a while, Gu Yi really can't think of any good way to make money, in modern times, he has heard many times that the people in his small team who love to read novels have howled, many protagonists cross by relying on the method of food to make a lot of money, but they are in the last days, and the natural crops that can be imported are very few and very precious, and ordinary people can't see them at all, let alone understand his production methods.

So Gu Yi really didn't know how those delicacies were made.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still heard Mao Dan talk about picking mulberries today, and he thought that they have a lot of fruits here all year round, in Gu Yi's previous life, fruits were also very precious things, and in this ancient world, under the influence of transportation and other aspects, fruits are not something that can be eaten if you want to, so it is absolutely no problem to take out this thing and sell it.

Let's do it little by little first, and wait until he thinks of a way to make a lot of money.

After crossing over, Gu Yi was quite interested in this kind of thing of going to a stall with several brothers and sisters in the family to make money.

Gu Cui has always loved her younger brother, and this method is also good, so she has no objection.

The hairy egg on the tree also heard Gu Yi's plan, and he agreed with great interest, "Okay, preserved egg, you go home and go to your mother to get a clean box for mulberries." ”

The younger brother was originally used to call the elder brother.

Mao Dan did not hesitate to order Pi Dan to run errands.

He didn't dare to object, but he didn't really reject it, and when he heard that they could go to the city, he was excited at this time.

I ran back, and it didn't take long for me to bring a rice strainer from the stove.

A few children began to pack it inside, and when the family came to call them home for dinner, they had already filled a large basket full of baskets, and Mrs. Gu helped them bring it home, "Are you going to sell it in the city in the afternoon?" ”

"Hmm." Mao Dan nodded nervously.

He was afraid that Old Lady Gu would not agree.

Children's behavior is always restrained by adults, such as going to the city, if the adults don't agree, they have to give up.
