In autumn, they went north and returned to the south the next year, and when Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun returned to Lantian Pass, the cold wind blew again, but the people in Lantian Pass were still full of voices as always.

After entering the customs, Jiang Ergou went straight to the ring where he met Tian Rongguan, calculating the time, that kid should be squatting on the edge of the ring at this time, and I don't know if he has learned a few tricks from the swordsman in his mouth.

Approaching the ring, the business of the steamed bun shop that Jiang Ergou had eaten at the beginning was still as hot as ever, and the boss's face was full of smiles to entertain guests.

In Jiang Ergou's memory, the bun shop is not a tea shop opened by Tian Rongguan's mother, looking for the place where Tian Rongguan brought him tea, Jiang Ergou really saw Tian Rongguan's mother, and a year can not leave anything in the body of this kind of border woman, it just makes him a little thinner.

In the tea shop, Jiang Ergou didn't see Tian Rongguan, which greatly increased the possibility that Tian Rongguan's kid was in the ring.

It can be seen that the gentle woman is very busy at this time, and she will stretch out her sleeves to wipe her sweat from time to time in the days that have entered the winter, Jiang Ergou has no intention of bothering in the past, plus he and this woman were just nodding friends at the beginning, so I can't say that people don't remember him at all.

Looking towards the ring, Jiang Ergou seriously searched for Tian Rongguan's figure, he was about to go back, and before leaving, he wanted to invite that kid to have a meal, anyway, there was a checkout person with him today, and he didn't spend his own money.

It's just a pity that Jiang Ergou looked left and right for several laps and didn't find that kid, and there was no one in the ring, although it was just two unpopular martial artists with **** strength, it stands to reason that no matter what strength he had, that kid from Tian Rongguan shouldn't have missed this competition!

"I said that your surname is Jiang, what are you doing when you entered the city in a hurry this morning!

Jiang Ergou didn't answer him, to be honest, his mood was actually quite low at this moment, could it be that the kid had already learned the ability to get the sword and run to the rivers and lakes?

"The surname is Jiang, Jiang Shaoxia! I didn't eat enough last day, I've been hungry all night, can we find an inn to pad our stomach first, even if you want to find your friend, you won't delay us from eating." ”

"you, if I have a good relationship anywhere, I still need to rub your rice to eat? Although it's not good to eat soft rice, it's really fragrant when you eat it in your mouth, I hope there is my good taste in this Lantian Pass." ”

Since he couldn't find that familiar figure, Jiang Ergou retracted his emotions after being slightly lost, this He Huaichun is right, no matter what, this hunger is true, and it is true to find an inn to eat at the moment.

But just when Jiang Ergou was about to take Hehuai Chun to find an inn to eat, the little lady who had been busy all morning took a gap to catch her breath, carried a pot of tea, and walked towards Jiang Ergou with two teacups.

This immediately attracted the attention of He Huaichun.

"I'll go, surnamed Jiang, and you still say that you don't have a good relationship in the Guannei! ”

Jiang Ergou was not polite this time, and raised his hand to give the unrestrained He Huaichun a slap on the head, and the force was not light.

"This is the wife of a border soldier, you deserve this slap. If it weren't for your unintentional move, would you have wanted to know that three-and-a-half-story master? ”

Hearing Jiang Ergou's words, He Huaichun fell silent, not because he was afraid that Jiang Ergou would not introduce his cheap master to him, but that he was indeed a bit too much to joke about a soldier's wife.

"Jiang Shaoxia?"

The woman asked with some uncertainty after approaching, and it could be seen that he was very nervous when he asked, and she just glanced at Jiang Ergou a few times in her busy schedule, so she didn't dare to guarantee whether she recognized the right person at this time.

"Yes. ”

After Jiang Ergou nodded and answered, her mood was obviously much more relaxed, and she seemed to be a little happy.

She held the two cups with her hands and began to pour tea, while saying to Jiang Ergou.

"Jiang Shaoxia, a few days ago, Rongguan was still talking about you, saying that you have been going to the grassland for almost a year and have not seen you come back, and he is still worried that something has happened to you, and when he is fine, he will run to the gate and wait, saying that you will definitely come back before the New Year this year. ”

Hearing this woman say this, Jiang Ergou's heart gushed with a warm current, he didn't expect that there was still someone in this Lantian Pass who could miss him so much.

"Where did Tian Rongguan go now, did he really take a sword and go to the rivers and lakes?"

The woman Wen Yan smiled, and then handed the two cups of tea to Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun respectively.

"That's not true, it's just that a few days ago there was a teacher in this city, and no one sent the child over at the beginning, anyway, they all lived in the border pass, and it didn't make a difference whether they read or not, but the teacher didn't think so, no one was willing to send the child over, so he visited the door by house, and if it didn't work once, then he came several times, until the family with the child was willing to send the child to study. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ergou was a little curious about what kind of teacher would come to this border? Is he coming to the border to earn some money from these poor people who don't know how to read and ink.

"I dare to ask, but the tuition fee charged by this teacher is too high, so no one wants to send the child there. ”

The woman shook her head.

"That's not true, the teacher said that this academy was established by the border guards, and all the expenses of the academy are paid by the army, and we just need to send our children to study. ”

Now Jiang Ergou was a little confused, when did this academy reach the point where no one would read if it didn't collect money.

"Then why are you still reluctant to send your children to school?"

"The people in our level have never seen what a book looks like in their lives, and they know what the use of this reading is, and the teacher is recruiting some half-year-old children who are already twelve or thirteen years old, which is a labor force that can go down to the field for the family. ”

Jiang Ergou nodded, but suddenly there was some sadness in his heart, in those states that are not on the border in Dachu, no matter how poor the family is, they know that it is a good thing to send their children to study, but many of them have no money to pay tuition, but now that there is a free school, no one is willing to go.

However, Jiang Ergou reacted quickly, if the teaching gentleman did not succeed in enrollment, then he should have seen Tian Rongguan at this time, and the situation in the ring was not a child, so he should have gone to the school!

"Are these children going to school now? ”

"Yes, the teacher gave feedback to the Tianshan Pass, some of the soldiers who had families in this pass were released, and my family was also approved to come back, but he scolded me when he came back, saying that I delayed the child, this teacher was a big official before, and it was a blessing for the child to let him teach our children to read, and said that I, a woman, had never seen the world. Later, with a few of us taking the lead, the people in this pass slowly sent their children over. ”

Jiang Ergou snorted at this, he can't say that your husband is right!

"It's a good thing to study, if that kid from Tian Rongguan has a chance in the future, maybe he can get a name or something. ”

At the mention of her son, the woman's expression looked even more gentle.

"Don't say anything famous, it's a good thing that he can read and write, in fact, what really makes us all recognize the teaching gentleman, not because our man made a special trip for this, but when those children can write their own names after school, the joy on the children's faces, we are also happy when we are parents, these days, the children have begun to copy books and come back to study, although we still can't understand what they say, but I think their reading voice is really good. Gradually, the people of the city did not resist sending their children to school. ”

Jiang Ergou nodded again, as long as these children start to study, they will slowly realize how important reading is to a person, and there will be a burst of books in this Lantian Pass in the future!

Hearing this, Jiang Ergou suddenly admired the scholar who dared to come to the border pass to be a teacher, a person who can have a piece of knowledge will not be starved to death when he gets there, even if he writes a letter on behalf of his family, he can support his family, but it still takes a lot of courage to come to the border pass to open a academy.

"Dare to ask where the academy is located, I want to go and see it. ”

"It's not far away, it's in the Kanto region, and when you get there, you'll see it naturally. ”

Jiang Ergou nodded, and handed it back to the woman along with the teacup in He Huaichun's hand to thank him, and then left, he really wanted to go and see what the academy looked like.

Watching Jiang Ergou and the two walk away, the woman also slowly walked back to the tea stall, and at the moment when she was talking to Jiang Ergou, there were already good people sitting in the position of her tea stall.

This Bluetooth pass is not big, and the Kanto head in the woman's mouth is just the time to walk on a cup of tea, and before she saw the academy, she already heard the sound of reading.

To be honest, Jiang Ergou hadn't heard such a voice for a long time, and he never thought that such a voice would appear on the border, but now that the facts are in front of him, he can't help but not believe it. It's just that such a scene is really unbelievable for Jiang Ergou.

Walking around the corner, the panoramic view of the academy fell into the eyes of Jiang Ergou and He Huaichun, the academy was very dilapidated, even more dilapidated than imagined, it seemed that an old house in disrepair had been repaired with a little silver.

Don't say anything about Jinghua Academy, even Chen Mu's little broken academy is several times better than this dilapidated house, in such a cold weather, the windows of the academy are not pasted with a layer of paper, and their hands are red from the cold.

Pushing the door and slowly walking into the courtyard, the sound of reading entered Jiang Ergou's ears, although he hadn't read any books, he also knew that this was one of the four books and five classics.

Walking to the window and looking inside, Jiang Ergou saw the kid Tian Rongguan at a glance, at this moment he was shaking his head and reading vigorously, and he didn't notice that there was a person standing by the window, let alone that this guy was Jiang Shaoxia who was reluctant to give up in his mouth.

"You're here to see that kid?"

He Huaichun asked softly, for fear of disturbing the children who were reading in the house.

"Yes and no. ”

"I said surnamed Jiang, why do you want to do this, we are walking the rivers and lakes, don't do this for me, is it possible that you also want to go in and study?"

He Huaichun can't see the beauty in this academy, but he can see a lot, when he and Su Ruyu wandered the rivers and lakes together, he said that he would let all the children in the world have books in the future, he said that it is one thing to be an official, but it is another thing to be illiterate and understand the reason.

"I had a brother who was a scholar, and one of his ambitions was to want the children of poor families to have books to read, so I was so pleased to see this scene, and if my brother saw it, he might have jumped for joy. ”

He Huaichun didn't understand this kind of feeling, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"It's as amazing as you say. ”

At this moment, the children in the house did not see the two of them, but the teacher did, and after giving the children a command to read by himself, he went out with the scroll in his hand.

This man is not very old, he looks like he is in his forties, and the bookish air on his body shows that he does have some knowledge in his belly.

"What's the matter with you two here?"

"It's okay, it's just that the two of us passed through Lantian Pass, and I heard that there was a academy in this pass, so I wanted to come and take a look, and I asked Mr. for forgiving me for disturbing Mr. ”

The middle-aged scholar laughed.

"It's okay, you two can walk around if you want to see it, but this academy is too small and there is nowhere to go. ”

Jiang Ergou was noncommittal about this, but respectfully asked the scholar.

"I don't know where Mr. is from Da Chu, Mr. dares to do what others dare not do, and is willing to open a door for children to read and reason. I thanked an old friend for this. ”

A hint of bitterness flashed across the middle-aged scribe's face, and he quickly spoke calmly.

"I don't deserve to be so praised by a knight, but it's just a matter of waiting for sin. ”
