Rouge wrong

Shen Cuo likes smart people, and appreciates motivated people more.Through the contact with Erya during these days, she found that the other party may not be some amazing genius, but to some extent he can definitely be regarded as a scholar.

More importantly, even though Arya came from such a bad family, she still did not give up hope of survival and life.

"If you want to know the content of the deed, I can give you two choices. One is to trust me and I will tell you the truth, and the other is to learn the characters and understand it yourself. Which one do you choose?"

Although Shen Cuo asked like this, he already knew the answer in his heart.When she heard that Arya wished to know the contents of the deed, she saw a bright light in Erya's pupils.

She felt that she was gradually getting to know Erya, who was not only kind and strong, but also had a clear mind and cognition.

Whether this is her natural quality or the result of her mother and sister's teaching, it will be very valuable to her.

Shen Cuo felt that she had found a new way to repay this favor—before she found Erya's sister, she could teach Erya some necessary knowledge, and if Wang Daya couldn't get it back, she could have a clear conscience.

Erya, who had rejected Shen Cuo's help several times before, did not hesitate this time, and boldly expressed her wishes to her.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I hope to be able to read and write, I..." She clenched her fists, her expression and eyes were very firm, "I am willing to do anything, as long as you make me want to learn to read and write from you, teach me to understand more reason."

During Shen Cuo's life in Maoshanqian Village, it can be said that he lived a very peaceful life. There was no intrigue, intrigue, no grievances, no distinction between good and evil, and even no admonishment from his aunt and mother.

She couldn't say that she wasn't tired of the life she used to have, but she really felt bored when she really lived as peacefully as she is now.

Those past pastimes are gone now, and she has been tired of reading recently.

Therefore, it is a good thing for Erya to be willing to read and write.

"Well, from today onwards, I will teach you how to read first, and you should not go home without a special reason. As for your brother, he can also live in a grocery store."

Erya changed her mind the moment she wanted to read and write. Although she was still unwilling to sell herself, she didn't want to lose this opportunity because she was afraid of her father and stepmother.

She wanted to stay and study hard while she was under the protection of Shopkeeper Shen.

"Shopkeeper Shen, thank you! I, I..."

Erya felt that she had nothing to repay, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Shen Cuo at a loss, but Shen Cuo gently held Erya's arm with his hand.

"Hey, why do you always kneel down? Looks like this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you."

Erya was supported by Shen Cuo, her petite body naturally remained motionless.But she did not give up, and she also had her own opinions.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I understand that a scholar must have a strong character and cannot kneel easily. But you help me and teach me to read and write, so you can bear my kneeling."

Shen Cuo snorted contemptuously: "If you want to learn to read and write with me, you'd better forget the pedantic ideas left by your grandfather as soon as possible.

I told you not to kneel easily because of Na Laoshizi's "strength of character". People must respect and love themselves, which has nothing to do with whether they are scholars or not. "

"People in the world say "a man has gold under his knees", as if kneeling and kowtowing is the hardest thing to do.

But the fact is on the contrary, kneeling and kowtowing is the easiest, even a little girl like you can do it.

In my opinion, people who kneel and kowtow because they feel that they have nothing to repay are the most worthless.

As for those who practice three bows and nine kowtows as apprentices, it is even more incomprehensible. "

Er Ya listened to Shen Cuo's eloquent talk, seemed to understand but half understood, but she was no longer obsessed with kneeling and worshiping, and only asked curiously: "Why is it difficult to understand? Isn't this the rule passed down by the ancestors?"

"As I said just now, kneeling and kowtowing is the easiest, unless you have no legs.

How can you show your respect when it's easy?If you really respect your teacher, even if you don't kneel down, you still respect him in your heart.

If a person has the wolfish ambition to bully his master and destroy his ancestors, what can he prove by knocking his head a hundred times? "

Erya gradually understood that Shen Cuo didn't let her kneel because she felt that kneeling was too heavy, but because it was too light.

"But...then how should I repay you?"

Shen Cuo had promised to help Erya find her sister before, so this time she won't mention the fact that she saved him.

"There are a lot of things you can do. Before I asked you to help me make things, I will count you as paying part of the tuition.

You can also help me clean the room, help me boil the water, um...you can also help me warm the bed, what is not more laborious than kneeling, and what is not more practical than kneeling? "

Although no matter what Erya does, it won't be worth the tuition fee.

Arya thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"I understand, shopkeeper Shen, I will do all of these."

In fact, even if Shen Cuo didn't say these things, Erya had already decided to do everything she could.

It's just that she felt that kneeling could express her gratitude and determination, but shopkeeper Shen didn't like this form.

Shen Cuo nodded with satisfaction: "This time I will start teaching you from Qieyin method, and the progress will be slower at first, but as long as you have learned the basics, you don't need to memorize words by rote in the future. Words can also be annotated with the cut tone method first.

You see, this is not the same as teaching you to recognize the names of these items in the store, and I will be more severe. "

Shen Cuo was more impatient than harsh before, but since she decided to teach from the very basics this time, she is also going to put in some effort.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I will work hard!"

In terms of hard work, Arya is beyond doubt.

Shen Cuo showed the posture of a teacher with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and saying: "Well, children can be taught."

From this day on, Erya settled down at Shenji Grocery Store with peace of mind. In order to avoid troubles from her father and stepmother who would come here every now and then, she also gave them the two coins that were originally exchanged for food.

As for the distribution of father and stepmother, it is beyond her control.

Some people helped raise their children, and they got more money than before. Wang Tiezhu and Liu Shi only protested a little, and then half-pushed and half-accepted this condition.

Huzi also moved into the grocery store, and the room was arranged next to Erya.Although he was young, he was very sensible. Not only did he not cause trouble to Shen Cuo, but he often helped out as much as he could.

Erya took on almost all the chores in the grocery store, and she also had to make clothes and learn to read and write, so her days were very busy.

But here, she eats well and dresses warmly. Not only does she not feel tired, but she also feels very fulfilled.

Another month passed quickly, and in the first ten days of October, Maoshanqian Village gradually revealed a bit of the New Year.

Shen received the letter by mistake, glanced at Erya who was writing seriously, and couldn't help but fell into thinking.

There is no news of Erya's sister at all, fortunately Erya doesn't mention it often, otherwise she doesn't know where to put her face.

This time, her mother asked her to return to Beijing for the New Year. If she could please her, she might be able to help her out.
