Taoist fast crossing

When Si Qingyan was lying on the bed, she remembered the sentence that Third Young Master Wen yelled today——

"Si Qingheng! You and I are irreconcilable!"

It was Si Qingheng who signed the name of the eldest brother in the letter box.

I don't know if it's the same person...

This third son Wen is really unreasonable, he ran into a tree by himself, not only asked someone to saw the tree, but also blamed Si Qingheng.

After thinking about it, Si Qingyan gradually fell asleep.

Si Qingyan got up early in the morning of the second day, washed her face with well water, and went to Mama Lin's house to pick chickens.

Mama Lin looks to be in her forties, but she is actually in her early thirties.

Her husband works in Wancheng, but he has married another beautiful wife.I heard that her husband is only 25 years old, handsome and handsome, and every time he sees her, he always calls her sister, without letting his new wife know.

Mama Lin also accepted the result.

She also claimed that she came from the countryside to join her younger brother. After her husband died, she left two children alone.On weekdays, she works as a servant in a wealthy businessman's house, and everyone calls her Mama Lin, and she occasionally washes and washes clothes for others, barely eking out a living.

This income is far from enough to send the child to study, so he has to accept the help of his "brother".

Because of this, they are often pitied and despised by "brothers and sisters".

Mama Lin gave birth to a son and a daughter, they were well-behaved, clean and courteous, and when she saw Si Qingyan coming over, she called out "Third Brother".

"Third Young Master, I don't want money. Can you lend some of the old books you have read to Tianyang... and Da Ya, she also wants to read. We don't read books for nothing. Da Ya can help Third Young Master with laundry every day. Fen, watering the vegetable garden, Tianyang can also help sweep the floor and fetch water..."

Mama Lin was a little nervous, rubbing the hem of her apron with her rough hands, trembling when she spoke.

Books are still very expensive.

Relying on her to wash clothes, she can barely feed the two children.

The younger brother only lets Tianyang study, not Daya, but Daya is an older sister, who is almost ten years old, and will talk about her in a few years.The family has no ability to save a dowry for her, and the eldest girl is illiterate, so what kind of good family can she marry...

She has suffered enough in her life, how can she see her child go the same way again.

Fortunately, Tianyang is sensible, knows how to love her sister, and teaches Da Ya how to read after school every day after finishing her homework.

But the little tuition fee given by "brother" can only make Tianyang sign up, and other expenses for usual schooling are not enough.

I heard that the "brother and sister" are pregnant, and the pregnancy is a son. I don't know if there will be tuition fees for the next semester...

If you can borrow the third young master's old books and ask Tian Yang to copy them down, you can save some textbook fees.

"I have to give you the money..." As soon as Si Qingyan said this, Mama Lin's face turned pale, and she made a gesture to kneel, but Si Qingyan quickly helped her.

"Of course I borrow books. I'll find some old books and give them to Tian Yang. And Da Ya, when I'm at home in the future, you can come and ask me if you don't understand."

"Sister Lin, you can also learn to read. There is no harm in learning more."

"Thank you, Third Young Master!" Mother Lin couldn't hold back her tears, and wiped her sleeves several times.

"Da Ya, pack the hen for the third young master too."

"I don't want a hen. I just want five or six chicks. I can feed as many as I can. The chickens are still young these days. When they grow up, I will move them to the yard."

"Yes yes yes..." Mama Lin was incomparable, and she couldn't stop her tears.

"It's still early today, I'll go back and look for books."

As soon as Si Qingyan went out, she turned her head and saw Mama Lin's two children kneeling down and kowtowing together.

My heart suddenly became heavy.

"Mother Lin also helped me a lot. She is a loyal person, but she also has a hard life, but with two sensible children, there will always be a time to make it through." Uncle Xiang sighed, feeling uncomfortable.

It wasn't because Mama Lin did something wrong, nor was it because of those two children, but because of something invisible and heavier.

After Si Qingyan went back, she looked through the old books, selected the ones suitable for children, and asked Uncle Xiang to send them to Mama Lin's house.

And after he finished his breakfast, he brought his homework and notebooks, and knocked on the door of Zhenbao Pavilion again.

Boss Su still came very late, but he put on his clothes today.

Eyes squinted, looking very sleepy.

"You watch the store for me for a while, and I'll sleep a little longer."

"I met a few bosses yesterday and played a few tables of mahjong. I was very lucky and won a lot of money. Please eat the bonus and don't disturb me to sleep."

Boss Su leaked a dozen silver dollars from his sleeve, yawned, and went upstairs again.

With every step he took, the stairs creaked and creaked.

Si Qingyan counted, there were sixteen silver dollars in total, and after putting them into his pocket, he felt much lighter.

If Boss Su wins like this every day, Si Qingyan will soon become a rich man.

From sitting in the morning to noon, Si Qingyan bought something casually on the street and ate. It was not until dusk that the creaking sound came.

Boss Su's eyes were swollen, and his face was also swollen.Rubbing his nose, he sneezed.

"I'm getting old, I can't stand the toss."

Boss Su stroked his hungry stomach, and went out to look for food.

When he came back, he brought Si Qingyan a bowl of steaming wontons. While eating, he talked about how lucky he was yesterday, and told Si Qingyan that those poker friends still asked him to continue playing tonight.

Si Qingyan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

I always feel that Boss Su is going to be tricked...

"Hahahahaha I won't go tonight, and I won't go tomorrow night. If I go a few more times, wouldn't I lose my pants? The witty Master Su has already seen through everything, can't you think of it?" Boss Su showed a treacherous smile .

"Boss is wise." Si Qingyan praised him.

"What are you painting? It's so beautiful."

Boss Su looked at Si Qingyan's ink painting on the desk, his eyes lit up.

"Splashing ink painting of mountains and rivers." Si Qingyan hadn't printed it yet, and there was no inscription, so she just put the painting there and let it dry in the shade.

I wanted to practice calligraphy today, but the ink was spilled, so I drew a picture with the spilled ink.

The pen is loose and broad, but it also has a bit of momentum.

"It's elegant." Boss Su didn't know what he was thinking, and seemed to have a hard time making a choice. After thinking about it, he said again,

"If you are short of money, I have a way here."

"You specialize in imitating calligraphy and paintings of famous people. I will use them to make old ones. Then I will sell them to the bad guys. We will keep the real ones..."

"I'll try imitating it first." Si Qingyan was not very sure.

Some paintings are easy to imitate, while others are difficult.Not to mention writing, everyone has his temperament, shape, and style of writing, and it is difficult to be exactly the same.

"Come tomorrow, and I'll show you a good painting."

"Row."

Both of them have a bold character, one has connections and the other has ability, and they have already planned silently to try to get this done.

When Si Qingyan went back, Lin's mother and the two children were surrounded by the sandy ground. Lin Tianyang was only eight years old this year, and he already knew a lot of characters. He was teaching his mother and sister to write stroke by stroke.

"Third brother, thank you."

Lin Tianyang was a little more courageous, and Da Ya didn't dare to look directly at Si Qingyan.

"You can ask me if you don't understand, and study hard."

"Okay!" Lin Tianyang took the book from the room, and dragged his sister into Si Qingyan's yard.

Mother Lin was very relieved, and she went to collect the clothes hanging outside, and her waist, which had been bowed all the time, straightened a little.

Si Qingyan broke a bamboo chair and sat in the yard, with two children standing on one left and one on the right.

Their Chinese literature is Analects, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Characters. They also learn some simple ancient Chinese, but Lin Tianyang can't understand it.

Mr. always asks them to memorize it, and then explains the explanation. Sometimes he doesn’t even care about the omission of the explanation.Even if someone in the newspaper starts to talk about freedom and equality, as a poor elementary school student, it is still powerless to resist the teacher.

There is no commentary in the book, Si Qingyan reads a sentence, Lin Tianyang memorizes a sentence.Da Ya is also memorizing, although the handwriting is crooked, but every stroke is very serious, and the words that I don't know are replaced with circles.I studied very hard, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of my nose.

Lin Tianyang asked about things he didn't understand before the holiday.Due to limited conditions, he could only read the books he had learned in the first half of the year over and over again, understanding every word and sentence, without daring to miss anything.

"Do you want to go to school?" Si Qingyan asked.

"There is no school that accepts girls." Da Ya lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands behind her back, and there was no money in the family for another person to study.As soon as I thought of this, overwhelming loss and pain swept over me.

Si Qingyan suddenly realized that there is no girls' school in Wancheng yet.

Daughters from wealthy families want to study or ask their husbands to teach them, or are sent to schools in Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places, while girls from poor families have no opportunity to receive education at all, and many of them can't even write their names.

"Da Ya is now studying hard and laying a good foundation. In a few years, there will be a girls' school in Wancheng, and in a few years, both men and women can go to the same school. Everyone will be equal at that time."

"Will such a day really come?"

The big girl raised her head, tears welling in her eyes.

I really want to read...

I want to go to school in clean and tidy school uniform like my younger brother, I want to learn a lot of novel things, I want to see the big world outside, I want my mother not to be a servant who beats and scolds, I want to be the one who only makes them call uncle Man regret it!

"There will be. When you grow up, you will be able to go to school, and it will get better and better in the future."

Si Qingyan added another item to her notebook, running a school.

Those ten or so silver dollars are really a drop in the bucket, in front of the target, they are pitifully small.

The little girl's eyes were black and bright, with a vigor, like a little wolf cub...Give her a piece of driftwood, and she can swim to the shore by herself.

Perhaps it was because Si Qingyan was too calm and natural, which also gave Da Ya unlimited confidence.Usually, she also helps with laundry and weaves bamboo baskets. Later, she got online with an old flower grower outside the city. When she was free, she sold flowers outside the dance hall.

She is dark and thin, with a pair of big eyes on her small face, bright black and smart, with a sweet mouth and dexterous hands. She soon became acquainted with the gangsters nearby. Everyone knows that her life is not easy, so they don't make it difficult for her. They even help to take care of her a handful.

When Da Ya first said that she was going to study, most of the neighbors in the neighborhood laughed at her.Later, she didn't say anything, she just held back her heart and tried her best. One day, she would save enough money to go to school, and their jaws would drop to the ground in shock!

Since the third brother said that there are schools that girls can go to, there must be ones!

If... If there is really no, when she grows up, she will open a school by herself, and call all the girls who want to study to go to school...

Although it would cost a lot of money, she knew what she was going to do in the future, and when she thought about it, she felt endless energy.She was keenly aware that she was different from other girls of her age.She wants to go to other places to see, she wants to earn a lot of money by herself, so that her mother and younger brother can live a good life, and never have to rely on others... The other partners just want to save a dowry and marry an honest man with good conditions.Although it doesn't make sense, she can't make her friends have the same thoughts as her, but she can teach others to read and recite nine songs. Everyone will want to read when they know the benefits of reading.
