It's rare for a little nephew to be so active in studying, how can Xie Sen not be? Immediately, he asked people from the same village to go back and spread the message, and the next day, the brothers Xie Mu and Xie Lin came to the town. At the market, the fruits and eggs that had been saved during this time were sold together, and the two came to Zhang's house to pick up people.

I thought it was just a simple way to pick up the children and go home, but I didn't expect them to be greeted by a bunch of bags and bags.

A few horses of navy blue cotton cloth, a dozen catties of cotton as white as snow, two or three catties of pork and mutton, as well as a small packet of caramel and a small bag of cakes...... It's a sight to behold.

In addition, there was a package that Xie Sen solemnly handed over to them, and when they opened the package, they saw that it was several neatly stacked thread-bound books and a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"This, this, this is too precious!"

Faced with this large bag and dizzying gifts, the two brothers were stunned on the spot, and their first reaction was to quickly shirk it: "It's considerate enough for not blaming my brother for bothering me for so long, where are you embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift?" ”

Isn't it in the in-laws' house to eat and take?

"The two brothers are wrong." Seeing that they had misunderstood, Xie Sen reluctantly explained, "This is all bought by Brother Shi'er and wants to take it home." Not only the family, but also my uncle, who has received the filial piety of my four-year-old nephew, as well as my daughter-in-law and the second elder in the family, but they are all stained. ”

His face couldn't help but show a little relief and pride.

Xie Mu Xie Lin and the two brothers showed expressions of listening to the book of heaven.

"Third brother, you said, these are all bought by Brother Shi'er for the family, not only the family, but everyone of you has a share?"

Xie Sen affirmed with a look of "although it sounds outrageous, but this is true": "Don't look at me like this, I only know an hour before the eldest brother and the second brother." ”

An hour ago, when this pile of meat, cloth, and snacks was delivered to the door in large bags and small bags, he was also stunned, okay?

The Xie Mu brothers refused to believe it.

- Is the third brother crazy or are they dreaming? Do they want to believe that a four-year-old boy came to the town for ten days and found the money to buy so many things?

Xie Sen waved his hand helplessly: "It's really not me." ”

"Cotton cloth is 200 wen a horse, cotton is 600 wen a catty, pork is 20 wen a catty, mutton is 15 wen ......"

It is worthy of following the old man to learn to settle accounts, plus he is familiar with prices, Xie Sen didn't need to calculate, he quickly calculated in front of the two brothers.

"The meat and cloth alone add up to more than eight times. The book is not expensive, this set of "Three", "Hundred" and "Thousand" is about 200 texts, the quality of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is average, about eight or nine hundred texts, and there are ......"

There are also candies, cakes, and small gifts for their family...... Xie Sen made a calculation and came up with a result: "Zero zero is finally calculated, let alone ten times!" ”

After finishing the calculation, Xie Sen spread his hands and laughed at himself: "The two brothers look at me like a generous person who can spend ten yuan in one go?" ”

The two brothers shook their heads repeatedly.

Ten Dollars! It's a full ten taels for silver! This is not a small amount, the Xie family has been working in the fields for a year, and in addition to expenses, they can't save enough ten taels of silver in the end.

Xie Sen has been working in the restaurant for several years, and he will not be unable to get out the money, but with his character, he will only spend the money on the blade of the flower, and it will never be so wasted.

It's just a matter of buying books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for the little nephew, and the rest of them, who are not young or festive, how can they be so extravagant as ordinary people?

The two brothers finally woke up from the impact of the big bag and the small bag, and remembered what the third brother had said: "Is it really bought by Brother Shi'er?" But where did he get the money for a doll? ”

Could it be that his son stole the family's money when he ran away from home? Xie Lin's face turned pale, he pinched his fingers and looked around, only to realize that he was obviously here to pick up people, but the person was not there: "What about the rabbit cub others?" ”

"—he said he made money by selling crickets."

His voice rang out at about the same time as Xie Sen's. The anger that Schelling had just sprung up was extinguished at once, and was replaced by a stunned voice: "...... Selling crickets to make money? ”

"That's right, Brother Shi'er sold his Jinjia General to Li Dalang next door to our house. He confiscated the money, and only asked Li Dalang to lead him around the town to buy these things. I didn't know until I delivered it to my door. Xie Sen explained the ins and outs with a complicated expression, and did not forget to answer his second brother's question, "Isn't this leaving?" Brother Shi'er also made a group of friends here, and just before you came, he went to say goodbye to them with a bag of caramel candy. ”

Speaking of which, the brothers already understood.

Xie Shichang and a group of children in the village are happy everywhere, touching fish, catching birds and catching crickets, they all know. Some time ago, they heard this kid show off, saying that he had newly captured a mighty gold-armored general, and he compared his friends to him.

At that time, they didn't take it to heart, laughed it off, and couldn't imagine that this small group "ran away from home" and brought the "Golden Armor General", and even sold a cricket for a "sky-high price".

"A cricket is so valuable?"

The two brothers, who had been farming all their lives, couldn't believe it.

But Xie Sen was not surprised: "The wind of fighting crickets has existed since ancient times." The real best is not too much to compare to gold. Although I don't know what the appearance of the golden armor general who picks up my brother is and how much it is worth, I know who Li Dalang is-a loser who runs a shop at home and is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, especially loves to fight crickets, and will never look away. He was willing to spend ten dollars, and it must be worth the price. ”

Strictly speaking, the two did not reach a deal to buy and sell crickets, but exchanged crickets for a bunch of things - Li Dalang got crickets, and the child bought what he saw, and he was responsible for paying the bill out of his pocket, and in the end he spent a total of ten yuan. Perhaps the actual value of that cricket is much more than ten times.

Although the three brothers didn't say this speculation, they may not have thought of it in their hearts. They all have a wealth of life experience.

They couldn't help but secretly regret in their hearts: if they knew that the cricket was so valuable, they shouldn't have been exchanged with someone by the little guy in a daze. Even if you can't sell it for more money, at least you can't spend all ten times of money like this, right?

"Dad, uncle, third uncle!"

Although they felt pity in their hearts, when they heard the loud cry and saw the little ball with glowing caramel and running over with empty hands, they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

It is difficult not to be moved by the child's immature mind.

When Xie Shi followed his father and uncle and returned to Erqiao Village with large bags of gifts, the family was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Knowing that this was actually Xie Shi selling crickets to earn back, the old Xu family was so happy that he praised his good grandson for being smart and filial, and the others were also smiling, and they were all immersed in the moving emotions of "the child has grown up, and he knows to bring gifts back when he goes out".

Xie Mei and Xie Lan sisters happily shared pastries and caramel caramels, and Liu and Yu's concubines were holding brand-new cloth and gesturing, dreaming of making clothes for the boys, children and the elderly in the family.

At this moment, the family has already thrown their previous thoughts out of the sky - what child is disobedient and missing, and he will definitely teach him a good lesson when he comes back? Obviously, he just went to the third uncle's house to play, not only did he remember to leave a message before leaving, but he also thought about his family when he played in the town, and he did not hesitate to sell his beloved crickets just to buy gifts for his family. There is no such obedient and caring baby in ten miles and eight villages! Where are you willing to move a finger of him?

Xie Shi enjoyed the praise of the whole family, as well as the stickers of his mother's reunion after a long absence, and raised his little head triumphantly.

…… Wuhu, a crisis was perfectly resolved!

The lesson of being spanked last time when he secretly climbed the persimmon tree is still vivid, and this time secretly running to the town is much more serious than climbing the persimmon tree, how could he not learn the lesson and prepare early?

Sure enough, sacrificing the Golden Armor General in exchange for the safety of the ass and the smile of the whole family...... Woo woo woo goodbye to the Golden Armor General, your sacrifice was not in vain!

The dream realm of the past is really a valuable treasure, there was once a guy who was good at raising crickets and wrote books for crickets, and taught Xie Shi to distinguish the varieties of crickets in his dreams, so he could always catch powerful crickets, such as the Golden Armor General.

It's a pity that in the future, he has to study and practice seriously, and he has no leisure to raise crickets, so he has to say goodbye to the Golden Armor General!

A "running away from home" turmoil has been reduced to nothing, but the day of going to school is imminent.

After careful selection by the family, the neighboring village will open a private school for half a month to defeat many candidates and stand out——

"Of the three private schools recommended by the third child, two are in the town, and one is in Xujia Village next door."

In the familiar dinner table discussion, this time Xie Dayou, as the head of the family, took the lead in speaking.

"The masters of the two families in the town, one is Wang Xiucai, who is over fifty years old, who has been teaching for ten years and has rich experience; One is Jiang Xiucai, who is in his early thirties, and he is young and knowledgeable, but the third said that he will continue to play, and the energy spent on students is only afraid that Wang Xiucai ......"

"It's nothing, the town is too far away, and Brother Shi'er is so young, even if he lives in his third uncle's house, I can't rest assured." Old Xu hurriedly spoke, "Didn't you say that there is a private school in Xujia Village next door?" I think this is good! ”

The two villages are next to each other, and it is only two cups of tea to walk from their house to the neighboring village, and if they send their little grandson to study in the neighboring village, they will be able to send them every morning and evening.

Yu, who was also reluctant to give up his son, nodded again and again.

"Xujia Village is close, and Xu Fuzi is also a talent, but there is one bad thing, this private school was opened not long ago, and Xu Fuzi has no experience in teaching students before......

Seeing that everyone was inclined to Master Xu, Xie Mu and Xie Lin brothers, as a microphone to receive first-hand news from Xie Sen, the information they knew was very detailed.

"Xu Fuzi won the show at twenty-six, caught up with his father and mother passed away one after another, and he had to keep filial piety for six years, so he didn't take the exam again. It is said that he is talented, and if he is not filial piety, he will be able to be promoted. Now he is still in the filial piety period and does not want to accept too many students. ”

Xiao Tuanzi, who was listening, raised his hand with bright eyes and asked: "So, Xu Fuzi has the best knowledge and the most powerful?" ”

Old Xu glanced at the old man proudly with the eyes of "my good grandson is really with me": "They all say that they are raising seedlings, isn't it exactly?" According to my wishes, I will choose Master Xu. ”
