Physician and Food [Farming]

The boy also brought two servants with him.Gou Wa pointed out the medicinal materials that Tie Dan wanted, and they carried them to the carriage at the door.

The boy looked at it with his chest in his arms, and when everything was moved, he asked the two men to carry a shelf of candied haws and two cloth bags over.

"My grandfather said that he has been here twice, and he was taken care of by the son, so he ordered me to bring candied haws and seasonal fresh fruits. My son also said that the nephew is still young, and the first thing he needs is to learn more about medicinal materials and read and write. .You let him study in a private school. My grandfather is used to wandering freely, and I don’t know when he will come back next time, but he will check his homework. Can you hear me clearly, my lord?”

The boy's voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and his expression was neither salty nor dull.There is a bit of rigorous arrogance between the brows.

He has a strong figure, and the small face that has just grown is very handsome. This overall demeanor is different from those two servants at first glance.Some people believed the young master who said he was from a rich family.Seeing that he has an extraordinary bearing and that he was sent by Tie Dan, Gou Wa already has a little more respect in his heart.

"You are here, Mr. Hardworking. The three of you have worked hard. There is water in the room. Let's go after tea and rice." Gouwa took the candied haws and fruits from the servants. The weight was not light, and he couldn't handle it. Stopped, staggered twice, turned around and put it in the corner of the back room first.

Seeing Gouwa's disheveled appearance and embarrassing behavior, the boy twitched his lips slightly and suppressed his disgust.Cai said: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, but I have to go back on time for this trip. In the afternoon, the master has other work for us, and we can't do without people. So farewell, my lord Chang'an."

The boy took two servants to protect him, saluted and left.

The carriage at the door drove away after two whips.Gou Wa poked his head to watch the carriage leave, then turned back into the room, and saw the child under the blanket rubbing his eyes.

"Second Uncle, is Brother Tie Dan back?"

"No, the uncle sent a young man to deliver delicious food." Gouwa took a candied haws from the shelf, "The uncle sent a lot of candied haws, this time you can eat as much as you want."

Suo Tou suddenly regained his energy, got up from the bed, took it quickly, looked at the red hawthorn fruit, looked at the shelf of candied haws in the corner, and smiled on his face: "There are so many, can we finish eating?" ?”

"It should last for two days. If you can't finish it, give some to your neighbors. It's good not to waste it." Gouwa was in a much better mood. He also took a bite of candied haws, and his satisfied eyes narrowed together.He bought only two bunches of candied haws the other day, and he only ate one bite.This time you can open up to eat.

Did Tie Dan notice that he didn't buy candied haws for himself, so he sent so many at once?

Suddenly thinking of this, Gouwa was slightly stunned, and couldn't swallow the hawthorn in his mouth.

What a careful person Tie Dan is, seeing him greedy for candied haws, he sent so many.How can there be such kind-hearted people in the world.

Thinking about it, God must have seen their uncles and nephews being pitiful, so he sent the Immortal Da Luo down to earth, otherwise, how could he have such good luck.

The young man in black who was driving back leaned on the soft cushion in the carriage, opened the curtain to take a look at the scenery along the road.

One of the two boys driving the carriage outside saw that the road ahead was smooth, so he turned around and got into the carriage: "Master Yun, shall we go back directly?"

The boy Lang, who was called Master Yun, lacked the rigor in front of Gouwa, and became a little more lazy.

"if not?"

"Don't you need to go back to the butler? After all, it was the master's wife's order." The servant asked worriedly.

"After so many years with the uncle, you haven't figured out the temper of the uncle? Not to mention how the master and wife taught us to spoil the master after we reported it without authorization. Just being angry on the uncle's side is enough for us to bear. Left and right A boy in the countryside, no matter how much he likes you, he will have a fresh day. What we can do is to keep our mouths shut."

Master Yun has already said that, and the servants can't continue to say more.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Master Yun yawned and complained, "Master, I really want the freshest melons and fruits. I have to get up before five o'clock to prepare. I have to go this way when it's still dark. Let's go." Which road is not good, but I have to take the shortest way and walk the road past the mass graves. There is nothing dirty and smelly there, and we are not afraid that we will be infected with bad luck and take it back."

Master Yun thought of the mass grave, and shivered: "When I went back, I remembered that I was far away. When I asked, the uncle said that he was drinking a cup of tea at the Chen's house and wasted time."

Gou Wa and Suo Tou ate two bunches of candied haws, and then opened the two packs of fruit.At this time, it is the time of harvest, and there are all kinds of melons and fruits.It's just that Gouwa is never willing to buy these.In previous years, most of the fruits I ate were wild fruits from the mountains, or some fruit trees from other people's homes in the village sent some to try.

There are two large packages of fruits, and there are many types, but all of them are of excellent quality and very fresh.Some even have some morning dew, which is very attractive.

Gouwa picked up a plum half the size of a fist and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, a taste Gouwa had never tasted before.

"Is this the fruit that rich people eat? I thought all fruits were similar." Gou Wa looked at the plum in his hand and sighed.

"Delicious! This one is delicious too!" Suo Tou held a fruit in one hand, and the tip of his nose turned red when he ate it, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, when I grow up, I will let you eat this kind of fruit every day."

Lock Tou has always been like a dog boy, although he is not clumsy, he is not a smooth talker either.When Gou Wa suddenly said such words, Gou Wa was moved, but also a little strange.

"Who did you learn this from?"

"I didn't learn from anyone." Suo Tou thought about it carefully, and said again, "But Brother Tiedan told me, what do I want for my second uncle, why don't you let me be successful first. In this way, I can let my second uncle enjoy the blessings." .”

It is said that the children of poor families are the early masters.From birth to now, there have been constant ups and downs, which also made him have many ideas that his peers would not have at the age of five.

Gouwa's eyes were red, knowing that this nephew didn't suffer in vain, so he took two more fruits and stuffed them into his arms: "Eat, eat more."

In the future, they will not live a hard life.But there is still a long time for the uncle and nephew to enjoy the blessings and support.At least in Gouwa's view, the two of them will stay together until Suotou gets married.

Gouwa ate two fruits and went to the kitchen to cook.After breakfast, Suo Tou thoughtfully went to feed the chickens in the cage.Sitting cross-legged on the kang, Gou Wa took out all the silver and copper coins in the house and counted them bit by bit.

Including the silver that Tie Dan sent this time, Gou Wa still has four or five taels of silver in his hand.It's already a lot of money.

Originally, Gouwa wanted to use the money to buy land, but the young man who came in the morning said that if he wanted to study medicine, he had to learn to read first.

Therefore, right now, it is still necessary to send Tie Dan to study, and it would be better to study in a private school to get enlightened.

It's just that there is no one in the village to send the children to school, and Gou Wa doesn't know how to send the children to a private school.

Two days later, Gouwa distributed the uneaten candied haws to the children in the village.Perhaps it was because of the love of candied haws that in the next few days, the children in the village would always lie on the wall and secretly look at the little lock, wondering if there was anything delicious about the little lock.It's just that their parents have told them with their ears that they should stay away from everyone, and they dare not get too close.

Gou Wa prepared food for Suo Tou and locked him at home alone.After instructing him not to touch the fire or be mischievous, he rented an ox cart from brother Zhang's house at the entrance of the village for ten renminbi, and drove the ox cart straight to the county.

This is the first time Gouwa has entered the county.Parents did come here once when they were still there, but it was too long ago, even Gou Wa couldn't remember.

After entering the county, I soon arrived at a place with many signboards.Gouwa is also illiterate, but when he sees a door with a front door, and smells the rice when he gets close, he knows it's a restaurant.Not daring to go to a place that was too big, Gouwa chose a modest store, went in and ordered a bowl of noodles first.Eating noodles, there are free pickles in the store.It's nothing more than some common vegetables in the yard are flooded with brine. When eating, they are cut into small cubes and mixed with sesame oil and vinegar. Gouwa eats noodles with pickles and eats them with relish.When I was full, I called the buddy.

"Grandpa, five cents." The clerk was all smiles, and he didn't feel disrespectful just because Gouwa ordered less.

Gouwa took out the money bag and counted ten copper coins from it.

"Do you want another copy?" The man was a little puzzled.

"No, just to ask you something." Gouwa smiled embarrassedly.

The buddy understands, but he is not in a hurry to take the money: "You ask me. I don't know if you understand. We don't want your money for nothing."

There are things in this world that can and cannot be said.The guy waits on people all the year round, his eyelashes are empty when he pulls them out, he is very refined.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I have a nephew in my family. He's just five years old. I've saved some spare money recently and I want to send my nephew to a private school in the city. It's just a small place in the countryside, so I don't know much about it. You are a thrush in the crowd, I have heard a lot and seen a lot, so I want to ask you about it."

Unexpectedly, it was this, and the man breathed a sigh of relief.Picking up the copper coins, he only counted out five cents and accepted them, and returned the rest to Gou Wa.

"It's such a trivial matter, I don't bother you to spend money. It's just going to school. We have two kinds of private schools here. One is a private school funded by our country gentry. Whose children want to go to school, at most the rice and meals that eat together Or firewood for heating in winter. It’s just that it’s long past the time of recruitment, and it’s a bit troublesome to get in. If your family has more money, you might as well go to Li Xiucai’s house in the west of the city. We only receive a hundred catties of wheat a year, and it costs a few dollars to convert it into silver. You can buy some good things as a teacher apprentice ceremony, and it will be done."

For the village, studying is a big deal, but it is quite common in the city.At least seven or eight out of ten children have attended private schools, but very few of them have studied seriously.Read it for a year or two at most, and you can be blind if you can recognize a few words.
