"Yes, Azhu has never disappointed her sister. ”

"That's natural, not only will I not disappoint my sister, but I will also live up to my mother's and grandmother's expectations of me, and my sister must also have confidence in me. The playfulness in Ah Zhu's words made Meng Wan feel distressed.

This kid is really sensible and can't help but want to get close to him.

......

"Grandma, I'm back. Ah Zhu walked in the front, and when he arrived at the door, he shouted into the house, "My sister is also here, and she has come to see us." ”

Grandma walked out, a smile on her face, "The girl is here." ”

"Mother-in-law, I'm bothering you again. Houtu nodded slightly.

"Don't bother, don't bother, you give us a lot of help every time you come, we can't be grateful, why bother. Grandma greeted them in, "Ah Zhu, go pour water for the girl." ”

"Okay grandma, I'll put the wild vegetables down and go. ”

"Who is this girl?" The old woman looked at Meng Wan suspiciously, but her words were asked, after all, when she saw them come in, they came in talking side by side, so they must be acquaintances.

"I'm her close friend, and my mother-in-law just calls me late. Meng Wan took over.

"Evening girl. The old woman nodded politely.

"Sister, late sister, drink water. At this time, Ah Zhu came over with a kettle and two bowls, carefully placed them in front of Hou Tu and Ah Wan, and poured water for them.

"Azhu, you talk to the girls, I'll go see if the porridge is ready, the girls will have a meal here at noon. The old woman had a look on her face, this Liang girl (Houtu's pseudonym in the human world, surnamed Liang) is okay, she comes often, but this night the girl ...... After all, it's the first time I've come, and it's too abrupt to be like this.

Besides, although the late girl looks simple and decent, if you look closely, these fabrics and jewelry are not ordinary, and they are also the daughters of big families, how can they eat the meals they eat on weekdays.

Meng Wan glanced at the old woman and knew what she was thinking, "I've been alone since I was a child, I can have a meal at my mother-in-law's house, and with my younger brother and the old woman, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I say it's a grievance." ”

"The evening girl is really good at talking. "After all, the old woman has been through a lot of things, so she can naturally hear that what this girl said is not the truth," the girls chatted, and the meal was good for a while. ”

"Grandma, go ahead, I'll talk to my sister and sister Wan. Ah Zhu answered obediently.

"Huh. ”

......

Waiting for the old woman to leave, Houtu and Azhu sat down at the table, Houtu took out the paper, pen and ink book as if playing a trick, and Azhu began to write, began to recognize words, and began to read.

Meng Wan watched quietly, not daring to disturb this peaceful picture, it was too beautiful, she thought she knew what to do, as Houtu said, yes, she was willing.

For the sake of this child, the thirst for knowledge and the mentality of working hard to live an upward life are reminding Meng Wan that she should do this, and it is right to do so.

......

"After eating, Ah Zhu put away everything, eat first, and then look at it after eating. The old woman came back from the kitchen and said to Ah Zhu with a smile.

"Good. Azhu Mali packed up his things and went to get the dishes and chopsticks, Meng Wan watched Azhu put the bowl with the missing corner in the position where she and the old woman were sitting, but the position of her and Houtu was an intact bowl, although it was still dilapidated.

After that, Ah Zhu went to serve the dishes again, and the old woman brought the porridge, "Ah Zhu, serve the porridge to the girls, there are still vegetables in the kitchen, I will serve them." ”

"Good. ”

Ah Zhu stood on the low stool, took Meng Wan and Houtu's bowls, and served them porridge, Meng Wan looked at the rice in their bowls, and then looked at the soup in Ah Zhu and the old woman's bowls, and couldn't help but have a sour nose.

Meng Wan had lunch in silence throughout the whole process, but the old woman kept saying good things about Houtu and praising her.

After the meal, the old woman cleaned up the table with dishes and chopsticks, and Azhu began to read again.

Until they leave.

"When will my sister come again?" Ah Zhu had anticipation in his eyes, wanting to know when Houtu would come next.

"My sister is going to go on a long trip recently, and I'll come back after a while, Ah Zhu also has to study hard and learn calligraphy when she is alone, do you know?"

"Well, Azhu knows. The boy nodded heavily.

"Ah Zhu, do you have a wish?" asked Meng Wan, who had been silent for a long time, and she still decided to ask the child's meaning.

Ah Zhu didn't answer, but looked at Houtu, who nodded at him encouragingly, and then he said, "Yes, I want my grandmother to be healthy, I want to study and become a great career, and I want my grandmother to live a good life." ”

"Good boy. Meng Wan squatted down and touched Ah Zhu's head, "Don't worry, your wish will come true." ”

Ah Zhu looked at Meng Wan ignorantly, not knowing why this late sister would give him such words.

......

Meng Wan and Houtu left, Meng Wan's mood still hasn't been calmed down, the scenes of today's experience emerge, she really feels sorry for that sensible child, people say that the children of poor crying families are in charge of the house early, it's really not just talking.

"Let's go, go to the county. Meng Wan went to Houtu and said, Houtu knew that Meng Wan had decided.

Then, Meng Wan made an identity, went to the county mansion, gave money to build a school, and could not charge any fees, so the expenses were all from her, and she said to the county that she would invite a great Confucian to teach the children to study, but there was one condition, this school only allowed those children who wanted to go to school but did not go to school.

Although the county is very satisfied in the front, thinking that with the teaching of Confucianism, his children can also go, and they can still spend no money, how good is it...... But the words behind him are not happy, this idea was pinched off as soon as it came out, how could he be willing?

"It doesn't matter if the county is unwilling, I'll go find the magistrate, this matter can be regarded as a merit if it is done well, presumably the magistrate will be very happy, as for the county magistrate...... When I go back and talk to my family, I don't know if the identity of the county can still be reported?"

No, the county nodded busily when he heard this, how could he be a little unwilling?

Afterwards, Meng Wan asked Houtu to help, after all, the human world is Houtu's territory, and it is naturally very easy to get a great Confucian, but Houtu didn't expect that Meng Wan was waiting for her here.

As soon as she heard her say that she invited Da Ru to come, she was still wondering how she could ask for the law, but it turned out to be her idea.

"You actually made up your mind to hit me on the head? Do you know that I am the mother of Houtu, and even the Jade Emperor is polite to me, and you still calculated it on my head?" Houtu's face was complicated.

Meng Wan chuckled, "I'm not talented, I learned from Hou Tu Niang, isn't it Hou Tu Niang who made me a noble Azhu?"
