The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 44
"Honey, I want to go to the study with my classmates to read after school in the afternoon, is it possible?"
After breakfast this day, Gu Zhao took off his shorts and changed into his school uniform as usual.Li Zhouzhou fastened his hat on Xianggong, and said: "Xianggong can go if he wants to. I passed by the study before, and it's close to home. Wait a minute."
After speaking, he took out the purse from the cabinet, took a tael of silver from it and handed it to the husband.
All the four taels of silver that Xianggong took back were handed over to him for safekeeping.Li Zhouzhou originally wanted his husband to keep it by himself, and it is convenient to buy books and paper on weekdays, so he can buy some good ones, but he said, "Hey, I lost everything, if I lose it, my wife, you take care of it. Just give me pocket money every day from now on."
In the next few days, Li Zhouzhou gave his husband ten pennies for pocket money every day.At first it was for [-] Wen. My husband said that we would eat at home in the morning and take care of lunch at school. It would not cost us much a day, so Li Zhouzhou reduced it by half and settled for [-] Wen.
But now Xianggong is going to read a book in the afternoon, and it would be expensive to buy a book in the study.
"You don't need to give me money, Zheng Hui will buy it, I'll go over and have a look, if there is something you want to buy, I will copy it by hand after I order it in two days." Gu Zhao said.
Regarding the rules of the study, Gu Zhao still listened to what Zheng Hui said.This is also a discount for the bookstore owner and the students of the academy. For the books in the study, the printed copy is the most expensive, followed by other scholars' manuscripts, which are [-]% off. There is also a middle school where you can deposit the money and take the book. Go back and copy by hand, provided that the printed book cannot be damaged, stained or damaged.
The last one is about [-]% off the original price.But in fact, add your own paper and ink, about [-]% off.
Most of the poorer scholars choose manuscripts to save time. Gu Zhao thinks the latter is better, and he can read the contents first.
"Let's take it, Xianggong. If you meet a book you like today, you can get it back." Li Zhouzhou still insisted on giving the money to Xianggong.
Gu Zhao thought about it, and took the extra pocket money for buying books.
He was neatly dressed, carrying a schoolbag, put the money away, and kissed his wife on the cheek, "I went to school every week~"
With a smile on his face unconsciously, Li Zhouzhou hummed and sent Xianggong out of the hospital.
It has been five days since my father went back to his hometown and Xianggong went to study in the academy. He sent him to school every day.Li Zhouzhou and others couldn't see Xianggong's back, so they went out of the alley, then closed the courtyard door and started to work.
The breakfast pots and dishes were washed, the house and yard were cleaned, the clothes were washed and dried, the firewood was chopped, and the bedding was taken out to dry in the sun. In less than an hour, there would be nothing to do at home. Li Zhouzhou was thinking about whether to do it or not. When I bring a few chickens back, I set up a cage next to the toilet to raise chickens. There are only seven or eight chickens, which is enough for the family to eat.
This time I didn't save eggs and sell them.
Xianggong is studying now, so he still needs to make up for it.Li Zhouzhou thought about it and did it. He took the money and a basket, and happened to go to the main street to buy vegetables and some chickens.
Li Zhouzhou locked the courtyard door and went out. He greeted anyone he met in the alley, "Hello, Aunt Xu."
"Hey, is Li Fulang going to buy vegetables? Today, there are cucumbers and loofahs that are tender. I just bought them." Aunt Xu's family recommended it to Li Zhouzhou.
This is Xu's next door to Li's, which is Xu Wenbin's grandma.Aunt Xu is about 40 years old. I heard that she rented the yard earlier. It was Aunt Xu who opened the steamed stuffed bun shop by herself. Her teenage son helped her, and the men carried bags outside to do coolies. They worked hard for several years. , bought the yard, married his son a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a grandson named Xu Wenbin.
Li Zhouzhou and Aunt Xu also chatted while shopping for vegetables a few days ago.
"Look, how fresh it is." Aunt Xu showed the vegetable basket to Li Zhouzhou, and said, "Out of the alley, the second person to buy vegetables on the main street, this basket is a penny cheaper for me. Don't be thin-skinned and won't bargain, you have to talk."
Li Zhouzhou looked at the cucumber with flowers on the stalks of this dish, looking juicy and tender.
"Okay, I see, thank you, Auntie."
"No thanks, let's go."
Li Zhouzhou went to buy vegetables.
Aunt Xu was carrying a vegetable basket back to the yard, just in time to see her grandson Xu Wenbin sneaking with his hands behind his back. He didn't know what was hiding behind his back, and his face fell down, "What are you hiding? Don't let Grandma see it. Did you give it to Sanniang next door?" Take bean paste buns?"
"No, no." Xu Wenbin shook his head.
Aunt Xu didn't believe it when she saw it, the boy in his family was fascinated by the third lady next door every day, no matter how old he was, he would ask Xiaowen to touch the bean paste bag and send it over, really——
never mind.Aunt Xu didn't want to say too harsh words. The two had lived next door for more than ten years. She also watched the Zhou family give birth to three girls in succession. She wanted to have a son like crazy, but she couldn't live up to it.
It's still good for her family, the daughter-in-law is up to the challenge, and the first child is a child.
"Grandma is not angry, let Grandma see, are you sending bean paste buns to Sanniang again?" Aunt Xu coaxed her grandson.
Xu Wenbin believed it, shook his head and said, "It's not bean paste buns, grandma, don't tell grandma, I'll just tell you."
"Look at my Xiaowen's cleverness, please do it, grandma will keep it a secret from you." Aunt Xu looked at her grandson lovingly.
Xu Wenbin touched it quietly, and took out the hands behind his back to show Grandma.
There is an embroidered red head rope on it.
Aunt Xu knew at a glance that this was bought by her son. She bought two of them at the time. She was a purple one, and this red one was bought by her son for his wife, because it was embroidered on it, and it was more ordinary than usual. The hair rope is more expensive.
"What are you doing with your mother?" Aunt Xu had already figured it out.
What else can I do, just send San Niang to the courtyard next door.
Xu Wenbin didn't realize that Grandma's tone was wrong, and said seriously: "I frightened Sanniang last time and made Sanniang cry. She doesn't want the bean paste buns I gave her, and she doesn't play with me anymore. She likes red rope... ..."
"You can take whatever she likes." Aunt Xu's voice became displeased.
Xu Wenbin sensed something was wrong at this moment.
……
Li Zhouzhou walked to the main street. He had just finished shopping for vegetables. He picked some cucumbers, some cabbage, and bought a few eggs. It would be easier for him to eat by himself at noon. When Xianggong came back, he made scrambled eggs with cucumbers, bought some meat, and fried sliced meat with shallots.
I bought a green onion yesterday, and there is one more.This thing can be put.
After buying the vegetables, he also asked where to hold the chickens. Li Zhouzhou spent money to hold the chickens of nine females and one male. The seller gave him the chickens with a cage so that he could take them back with him.
Li Zhouzhou thought he had some work to do in the afternoon, so he wanted to make a bigger chicken coop.
When passing by the vinegar shop, I didn’t see Mrs. Zhang looking at the shop. There was no one there. There was a customer waiting to make vinegar. He yelled a few times to see if anyone was there. Aunt Zhang hurried out and said, “Here we are, yes, yes.” .”
In the past, it was Aunt Zhang who watched the shop and beat her up.
But Li Zhouzhou didn't think much about it, he just concentrated on thinking about his own chicken, and he was busy when he went back.I happened to miss the "little lawsuit" between Xu's family and Zhang's family next door.
Aunt Xu's complexion changed after hearing what her grandson said, but after all, her family's Xu Wenbin was wrong, but people's hearts are all biased, that's wrong first, grandson has already paid for it, right? Don't forgive me, I don't want to send bean bags, but I dare to wait here?
A bean bag costs three Wen, and a hair rope costs twenty Wen.
At a young age, it's good to care about it.Aunt Xu was not happy, and immediately took the hair rope and took her grandson to find his daughter-in-law and told the whole story, Xu Wenbin was already scared to death.
The daughter-in-law’s name is Huan Niang. When she saw the headband, she was reluctant to wear it for daily work. Naturally, she was angry when she saw her son taking it to others, but after listening to it, she whispered to her mother-in-law: “Mother, after all, It's all Xiaowen's idea, and I haven't sent it yet, so I'm afraid it's not good to find the Zhang family and make trouble?"
"Whoever said there is going to be trouble, let me say a few words." Aunt Xu also knew that her family had no reason to make trouble, and she definitely didn't ruin the relationship with the neighbors because of this. How about sending money to the next door?"
Huan Niang also felt that it was not possible, and said tentatively: "Then talk about it?"
"Don't worry about it, let me tell you. Make some red bean paste buns and I'll send them over later." Aunt Xu said.
Huan Niang hurriedly agreed, saying that her mother-in-law had an idea, "If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to say that."
Aunt Xu naturally knew that her daughter-in-law's temperament was like a bean paste bun, poking a hole, she was stupid and couldn't speak, and it would be hard to die if she asked Huan Niang to stand out.
Huanniang picked up a few freshly baked bean paste buns, Aunt Xu carried them, and coaxed Xu Wenbin, "Don't be afraid, Xiaowen, grandma will coax Sanniang for you, and Sanniang will play with you in the future."
"Really? Grandma!" Xu Wenbin believed it, and said happily, "That's great."
Aunt Xu touched her grandson's face, thinking that her family's Xiaowen is good everywhere, this is her heart and daughter-in-law, she is a soft-hearted person who doesn't care about being soft-hearted, and people will believe what others say, and can be coaxed.
The grandfather and grandson knocked on the door of Zhang's house next door with a bowl of red bean paste buns.
Mrs. Zhou was at the front looking at the shop, when her aunt called her to say that Grandma Xu was coming next door.Zhou asked the man to take care of the shop first.Her aunt is 12 years old this year. Seeing that it is time to start touching her in-laws, she can no longer be treated like a child like in the past, and she can no longer do the business of keeping a shop and collecting money.
The aunt is embroidering in the house, and the second mother is learning to tie the tape, making some small odds and ends to sell for money together, and to make pocket money for herself.Sanniang is young, only five years old, and she just takes care of herself on weekdays.
"Auntie, why are you here at this time? The house is not busy." Zhou said with a smile.
Aunt Xu held a bowl of bean buns, smiled and said, "Aren't you here to make up for my kid and your Sanniang?"
Naturally, Mrs. Zhou refused not to want the bean buns, saying that they were all from children's homes, and that adults would not come to the door if they were jostling and jostling.Aunt Xu smiled and put the bowl on the table, and said: "It's my own stuff, give it to the three girls, don't push it."
Here, Mrs. Zhou agreed to follow the words. Three bean buns cost only nine Wen, which is not expensive. If the Xu family buys vinegar another day, she will just go back cheap.There are back and forth.
Who knew that just after Zhou's side agreed, Aunt Xu on the other side laughed and said, "If Sanniang doesn't accept the beanbags anymore, I don't know if my Xiaowen, who is honest, will give Sanniang any compensation."
"...What?" Mrs. Zhou sensed something was wrong.
Aunt Xu patted her grandson's head affectionately, and said, "This kid is honest, he keeps saying that he should apologize to Sanniang, and made Sanniang cry. Sanniang stopped playing with him, and he can't even be coaxed with beanbags." Just now when I went back from shopping, I saw Xiaowen holding his aunt's headband to compensate Sanniang, right? The hairband is not expensive, but it's only twenty yuan, but his mother likes it. My boy won't let go. If you make a mistake, let Sanniang play with it, or you won't follow me."
"No, I'll bring Xiaowen over here and tell San Niang well."
"Grandma Xu brought you the bean bag, just eat it, sweeten our Sanniang's mouth, and have fun with Xiaowen in the future, you two grew up together, he bullied you, grandma Xu told you that he ..."
After Mrs. Zhou finished listening, the smile disappeared from her eyes. She understood it. On the surface, she was sending bean buns to her family. Responsive.
This is turning a corner and saying that her third mother doesn't understand etiquette and is not generous in trivial matters. She was angry with the Xu family boy and made Xu Wenbin dizzy and lost his mind.
"Auntie saw what you said, and came to the door in person for such a trivial matter. Xiaowen threatened Sanniang with worms and threw them on Sanniang's head. I also know that boys are more skinny. My Sanniang was shocked after that time." , woke up at night and didn't sleep well, so I stopped her from going out to play again." Zhou said with a smile and ran back.
Who wouldn't.
"I watched Xiaowen grow up. He is a simple and honest child. He is straight-hearted, a bit reckless, and has no evil intentions. How can he deliberately scare Sanniang? I don't worry about it. Why do you still think about it?" Come here on purpose." Zhou smiled.
Aunt Xu smiled back and went back. The two went back and forth a few tricks, and finally the two children made up on the surface and said they would play together in the future.But after Aunt Xu left with the empty bowl, Mrs. Zhou slammed the courtyard door shut first. There was such a noise that Aunt Xu heard it too and spat.
Then he started pointing and cursing Huai through a wall.
Zhou scolded her daughter in the courtyard, and she scolded the Xu family next door.
"As long as you are greedy, a few bean buns can be eaten by anyone. If you have a bad heart, you don't have to worry about spoiling your stomach."
In the courtyard of Xu's family at the other end, Huanniang was watching her mother-in-law, why did she make a fuss after sending her back?
Aunt Xu put the bowl into her daughter-in-law's hand, and she was also full of anger. This Zhou family deserves to be unable to give birth to a boy, and just said that her family Xiaowen is honest and reckless, what do you mean?Doesn't it mean that his Xiaowen is a silly boy.
"Eat chicken at noon, butcher it quickly. The saving will be a waste of rice. What's the use of keeping chickens that don't lay eggs?"
The Xu family raised three hens.
Huanniang didn't know why her mother-in-law suddenly said to kill the chicken, and she said it so loudly, so she quickly agreed.When I really went to the stove and took the knife out, my mother-in-law stopped me and said that she was stupid and really slaughtered chickens.
Then why did you say that?
Huanniang couldn't figure it out, but the Zhang family next door didn't yell at them anymore, and it was only when they picked up eggs from the chicken coop the next day that they realized that yesterday the mother-in-law was talking about Zhou's family through the hen's laying eggs.
Zhou gave birth to three, but all three were girls.
Poked Zhou's sore spot.
When Li Zhouzhou was building a nest for the chickens at home, he heard the voices from the next door, saying that the hens would be slaughtered and eaten if they didn’t lay eggs If you don't know how to call time, you can only kill and eat meat.
Then he continued to build the chicken coop. Not long after the work was done, Mrs. Zhang came over with a few daughters, and brought homemade pickles for Li Zhouzhou.
Said that your family has been moving in for so long, and you haven't come to visit. You have to come over to sit and talk in the afternoon, don't disturb me?
Of course Li Zhouzhou invited Aunt Zhang to sit down, emptied the pickle bowl, washed the bowl, grabbed a handful of peanuts, put them in the bowl, put them on the table, and greeted Aunt Zhang, Erniang and Sanniang to eat.
"The peanuts I collect at home are all made by myself. My husband likes to eat salted crisps. Sister-in-law, you can try it."
Mrs. Zhou was not polite either, she squeezed a piece and peeled it off, ate one by herself and stuffed the other into Erniang's mouth.
"Hey, delicious, really delicious."
Li Zhouzhou didn't know what happened to Mrs. Zhang, so he poured tea and sat with her for a chat.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhou. She was angry with Xu's family at noon. She might not go to Xu's house to chat for a while in the future. Her family did nothing wrong, so why should the courtyard be closed? The door let the Xu family go back and forth in the alley to pretend to be good people.
who won't.
There are only a few households in an alley, and some of them have a better relationship with the Xu family.Mrs. Zhou made the idea to the newly moved Li's family. Mr. Li Zhou Zhou is still a scholar, how wonderful.
If Gu Zhao was here, he would know that Mrs. Zhou was here to form a clique to find teammates.
After being polite, Mrs. Zhou talked about what happened at noon, and said exactly what happened, "...you also saw that her kid first frightened San Niang, and now he is still using buns to scare people."
"What do you say that hens don't lay eggs? Isn't that scolding me for not being up to date? I have been neighbors for more than ten years, and I never imagined that people would look at me like this and poke my sore spots with words." When Zhou said here, it was true. Kind of sad, wiping tears.
When Li Zhouzhou met, he didn't know what to say, so he poured hot tea for Aunt Zhang first, and thought about his own business, "When I was in the village before I got married, people in the village said I was hard-fated and I didn't look good. My brother's mole is too faint to be seen, like a man."
Zhou stopped wiping her tears, thinking that it was true, she misunderstood the first day Li's family came.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang stopped crying, Li Zhouzhou continued: "When I was five years old, my father died of illness, and my father took me to separate the family. Life was hard, unlike the easy life in prefectures and counties. Work in the fields."
"Later, when I was eighteen, the people in the village introduced me to widowers, tuberculosis patients who were dying soon, or poor bums from a poor family."
People are like this, Zhou Shi felt that she was suffering before, and was poked in the heart, but now, after hearing what Li Zhouzhou said, she suddenly didn't feel that she was suffering.
"You didn't agree, did you? This is sending people to the fire pit."
Li Zhouzhou: "No, my father loves me. I am an only brother, so I recruited a son-in-law and found my husband. I was nineteen and my husband was married. My husband was sixteen at the time, and life gradually got better after that. .”
"If the front is bitter, the future will be blessed. People in the village say that about me."
Li Zhouzhou wanted to use himself to comfort Mrs. Zhang. In his opinion, Mrs. Zhang was not suffering much. She didn't have to work in the fields, and the three girls were all beautiful and well-behaved.
"How long have you been married to Gu Xiucai?"
"I am 21 this year, and my husband is [-]. It has been three years."
Mrs. Zhou was speechless, Li Zhouzhou saw what Auntie Zhang was thinking, and said, "My brother Mo Dan thinks it's better to take a few years off, let's make up his body first, this matter can't be rushed."
Then I told Mrs. Zhang the method of strengthening the body that Xianggong said.
Mrs. Zhou really doesn't feel that she is suffering, but this one in front of her is really suffering. She is living a life like coptis. I think she has given birth to three at least, and her stomach is fine, but Brother Li Zhou and Zhou have a mole. I can't see it at all, and I don't know where it grows.
After talking, when she left, the anger in Zhou's heart dissipated.
"Let's walk around more in the future. If you don't understand anything, just come to my sister-in-law's house. You're welcome." Zhou said enthusiastically.
Li Zhouzhou saw the guest out, nodded and agreed.It can be felt that Mrs. Zhang is not as polite and enthusiastic towards him as before, and what she just said is sincere.
I just don't understand why, he just said a few words about himself, and the effect of comforting Mrs. Zhang is so good?
Mrs. Zhou took the two daughters back to her own yard, and said to the man when they were having lunch: "Li Zhouzhou, who just moved in, had a difficult life before. His father died of illness when he was five years old, and he separated to work with his father. He also said that doing field work, my brother is not pregnant, and doing field crop work must be tired, poor thing."
"Father is dead and the family needs to be separated, so the grandma above won't help look after the children?"
It wasn't until Zhou realized that, yes, in the afternoon, he was thinking about conceiving a child.
"I'm afraid there is some discord here." Zhou said affirmatively, "I see that it can't be the problem of Li Fulang's family."
She could tell that Li Zhouzhou was an honest person, and he would not speak sharp words.That's right, not everyone is like that old guy from the Xu family, who only knows how to play tricks.
Qingping Academy.
As usual, Gu Zhao entered the classroom 15 minutes earlier. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that there were more plane students behind him. He was late, and those who were later than him could only sit behind him. .
According to Zheng Hui's information, this should be No.1 in their class.
Straight A student!
Gu Zhao went up to put his schoolbag, and was about to introduce, Zheng Hui turned his head and winked at him.Gu Zhao: ...
"Hello, classmates. We are in the same class. My name is Gu Zhao, from Xiping Village."
Xueba put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Strictly trustworthy, a native of Yanjia Village."
"Why didn't you answer me when I asked you yesterday? Gu Zhaowen, if you believe me carefully, just tell me." Zheng Hui, winking, ran over and asked puzzledly.
Yan Jinxin didn't reply, and continued to read with his head down.Zheng Hui got angry, and Gu Zhaocai didn't bother to settle the lawsuit. Although they were in the first grade, they were really not primary school students, so don't fight!
"Brother Zheng, do you want to go to the study together in the afternoon?"
"go."
Zheng Hui first agreed, and Gu Zhao said again: "Have you finished reading the book you bought a few days ago? You didn't mean to lend me a look."
"Hehehe, didn't you say you didn't want to watch it? Are you regretting it now? I said it's really good-looking, so I'll give it to you later." Zheng Huile couldn't do it, and completely forgot to ask Yan Jinxin.
Gu Zhao: ...
He didn't read it before because of what Zheng Hui said in the book. He heard it roughly. It was a small love story, almost a story about a rich lady falling in love with a poor scholar, and her determination was unswerving.
It's just... Gu Zhao is not interested, and now he just wants to change the topic to prevent fights.
I don't even look at the place, it's almost time for class.
"Let's talk about it at lunchtime."
"it is good."
Zheng Hui sat back in his seat.
Yan Jinxin, who was sitting behind, glanced at Gu Zhao and curled his lips. He thought that Gu Zhao, like him, was from a poor family from a farming family and should spend all his time studying. Money sycophant fool.
Gu Zhao felt Xueba's eyes from behind, but he didn't think much about it, and concentrated on reading the book.
Classes in the academy are divided into morning and afternoon, and there is a big section. If you want to go to the bathroom during the period, you should raise your hand to signal. The content of the class depends on how the master teaches. Generally, you first recite what you learned the day before, and then ask questions to recite, understand the meaning, and then continue recite.Or silently write.
In the afternoon of the next day, I go to the four arts: etiquette, playing the piano, arithmetic, and archery.
These four arts classes are almost the same as physical education and music classes in modern high schools, and they are relaxation classes.Most of the students in the class deal with errands and don't like it very much. It's like high school physical education class. Some people read novels to play, and some have secretly learned to memorize vocabulary and make papers.
Zheng Hui belongs to the type who loves the Four Arts courses.
This afternoon happened to be teaching arithmetic and archery.
One morning after class ended, Zheng Hui couldn't sit still as soon as the teacher left, so he went to the cafeteria to eat.Gu Zhao asked the later Xueba if he believed in strictness.Who knew that when he greeted him in the morning, he was still serious and serious, so he would give him a cold look and turn his head aside.
The attitude is obvious: disdain to collude with you.
Gu Zhao:? ? ?
"I wanted to tell you this morning. He moved here yesterday and happened to be in the same house as me. I kindly greeted him and borrowed my oil lamp for him to use. Seeing that his bedding was not worn and he slept hard, I have extra Ask him, and he loses his temper."
"Say I humiliated him."
Zheng Hui was completely baffled. Did he borrow something and also borrow something bad?
The strict letter who ignored the two immediately said: "Don't frame me indiscriminately. I am not an unreasonable person. I thank you for lending me something, but you are obviously humiliating me by pretending to be kind."
"Where did I humiliate you? How did I humiliate you?"
"'It's been so long since you came to the academy knowingly, why didn't your parents prepare the bedding for you', is that what you said?" Yan Jinxin sarcastically said, "'You can do whatever you want, it's just an oil lamp. Men don't have to be told by their mothers-in-law, 'Is this what you said?"
Zheng Hui: "That's right, I said it all. Where did I go wrong? You came so late and didn't bring your bedding, so I just asked. Didn't your family prepare everything for you? It's just an oil lamp, I borrowed it from you, you I said thank you, and I said you’re welcome, you’ll say it’s ready soon, blow it up a bit, click on it, I told you not to be so frugal, just do what you like, what’s wrong?”
Gu Zhao: ...
I understood it.
This is a combination of carelessness and self-esteem.
Gu Zhao hurriedly stopped arguing: "Brother Zheng, brother Yan, stop arguing." Seeing the two of them stopped to look at him, he said, "Brother Zheng is warm-hearted, speaks outspokenly, and never humiliates Brother Yan's mother-in-law or disrespects his parents. meaning."
"???" Zheng Hui came to his senses after hearing Gu Zhao's words, and said, "I'm not disrespectful, and I'm not talking about your mother-in-law, but a man doesn't have to care about small details, that oil lamp—"
"Don't mention the oil lamp, let's eat." Seeing that Yan Jingxin's face softened, he should be able to listen to the words, so he pinched his pulse and said, "Hurry up, the canteen will be finished in a while, I don't want to spend money on meat dishes eat."
When Yan Jingxin heard it, he had to spend money when he ran out of food, so he didn't hesitate to join Gu Zhao.Zheng Hui walked beside and shouted: "Let's go together, don't walk so fast, if there is no food, what's the matter, I'll treat you two to eat."
How can a gentleman accept the food that comes from the sigh!Rigorous belief and anger.
Gu Zhaotou didn't reply and said, "Come on, your family gives you limited pocket money every month, and most of the books you bought earlier are gone, so don't waste your money. Besides, if you don't eat for free, why spend money, the key is It's a dish that costs money—" His face was indescribable.
"How about the food that costs money?" Yan Jinxin was curious.Most of the anger I mentioned just now has dissipated. From Gu Zhao's voice, this Zheng Hui is not that rich.
Gu Zhao: "The meat dishes are free dishes. Some egg residues can be seen in them, or they can be fried with lard. In short, the taste doesn't change much. It's not worth it anyway. I won't spend money on it, and I'm not Zheng Hui."
Yan Jingxin smiled.Zheng Hui: "I understand. Are you scolding me for saying I'm stupid for spending money on food?"
"Brother Zheng has a big belly, don't be angry, don't be angry." Gu Zhao smiled and waved his hands to apologize to Zheng Hui.
Just kidding.
Zheng Hui also laughed, "I'm not stingy." He also glanced at Yan Jingxin.
"I misunderstood." Yan Jinxin seriously apologized.Zheng Hui was embarrassed, and after sitting down and eating, he said: "I have been easily offended when I speak since I was a child. My family is in a small business, so my father said he would send me to study, otherwise he would drive away customers with his mouth. Let me be clean."
The misunderstanding is resolved, so we don't mention what happened yesterday.
Yan Jinxin and Gu Zhaobei are not the same: "I misunderstood you this morning as a person who flatters the rich and powerful."
"Brother Yan, you really flattered me." Zheng Hui said with a smile.
Gu Zhaocai knew that there was another issue, but he didn't dwell on this issue much. The three of them got to know each other formally, Zheng Hui was the biggest, rigorous and trustworthy, and Gu Zhao was the youngest.However, Yan Jinxin was started late, at the age of 12, and then he hit the game once.
It's also a genius.
It is good to write poetry and Fu.
It happened to be Gu Zhao's shortcoming.
"Then I'll have to ask Brother Yan for advice more." Gu Zhao said with a smile, "I'm really not good at writing poems and fuss."
At this time, Yan Jinxin thought it was Gu Zhao's self-effacing, and said that there was no need to ask for advice, and that in the future it would be to ask each other for advice.Later, when Yan Jinxin read Gu Zhao's poems, he realized that Gu Zhaozhen was not talking about self-effacing today.
We finished our lunch.
Zheng Hui wanted to go back to the dormitory to get the script, but Gu Zhao said goodbye, and he would wait for a while after school in the afternoon, otherwise it would be bad if the teacher found out that the script was brought to class, and he would be punished.
"Did you forget? It's the four arts class in the afternoon, learning arithmetic and archery, what are you afraid of?" Zheng Hui said again: "I'll go now, make sure to hide it well, don't worry."
After all, he ran back to the dormitory.
Gu Zhao: ...
At noon, everyone sat in their seats and did their own things.
Gu Zhaofu was writing at his desk, and he thought that Gu Zhao was a diligent learner, but after looking at it, he found that Gu Zhao's writing was extremely simple, and it was actually enlightenment such as Hundred Family Surnames and the Three Character Classic.
"This is?"
"Oh, the teaching books I made by myself are almost finished, and I can teach my husband how to read tomorrow." Gu Zhao said very frankly.
I also wrote last week's small textbook on the cover, and drew a heart next to it.
Hey hey hey.
After breakfast this day, Gu Zhao took off his shorts and changed into his school uniform as usual.Li Zhouzhou fastened his hat on Xianggong, and said: "Xianggong can go if he wants to. I passed by the study before, and it's close to home. Wait a minute."
After speaking, he took out the purse from the cabinet, took a tael of silver from it and handed it to the husband.
All the four taels of silver that Xianggong took back were handed over to him for safekeeping.Li Zhouzhou originally wanted his husband to keep it by himself, and it is convenient to buy books and paper on weekdays, so he can buy some good ones, but he said, "Hey, I lost everything, if I lose it, my wife, you take care of it. Just give me pocket money every day from now on."
In the next few days, Li Zhouzhou gave his husband ten pennies for pocket money every day.At first it was for [-] Wen. My husband said that we would eat at home in the morning and take care of lunch at school. It would not cost us much a day, so Li Zhouzhou reduced it by half and settled for [-] Wen.
But now Xianggong is going to read a book in the afternoon, and it would be expensive to buy a book in the study.
"You don't need to give me money, Zheng Hui will buy it, I'll go over and have a look, if there is something you want to buy, I will copy it by hand after I order it in two days." Gu Zhao said.
Regarding the rules of the study, Gu Zhao still listened to what Zheng Hui said.This is also a discount for the bookstore owner and the students of the academy. For the books in the study, the printed copy is the most expensive, followed by other scholars' manuscripts, which are [-]% off. There is also a middle school where you can deposit the money and take the book. Go back and copy by hand, provided that the printed book cannot be damaged, stained or damaged.
The last one is about [-]% off the original price.But in fact, add your own paper and ink, about [-]% off.
Most of the poorer scholars choose manuscripts to save time. Gu Zhao thinks the latter is better, and he can read the contents first.
"Let's take it, Xianggong. If you meet a book you like today, you can get it back." Li Zhouzhou still insisted on giving the money to Xianggong.
Gu Zhao thought about it, and took the extra pocket money for buying books.
He was neatly dressed, carrying a schoolbag, put the money away, and kissed his wife on the cheek, "I went to school every week~"
With a smile on his face unconsciously, Li Zhouzhou hummed and sent Xianggong out of the hospital.
It has been five days since my father went back to his hometown and Xianggong went to study in the academy. He sent him to school every day.Li Zhouzhou and others couldn't see Xianggong's back, so they went out of the alley, then closed the courtyard door and started to work.
The breakfast pots and dishes were washed, the house and yard were cleaned, the clothes were washed and dried, the firewood was chopped, and the bedding was taken out to dry in the sun. In less than an hour, there would be nothing to do at home. Li Zhouzhou was thinking about whether to do it or not. When I bring a few chickens back, I set up a cage next to the toilet to raise chickens. There are only seven or eight chickens, which is enough for the family to eat.
This time I didn't save eggs and sell them.
Xianggong is studying now, so he still needs to make up for it.Li Zhouzhou thought about it and did it. He took the money and a basket, and happened to go to the main street to buy vegetables and some chickens.
Li Zhouzhou locked the courtyard door and went out. He greeted anyone he met in the alley, "Hello, Aunt Xu."
"Hey, is Li Fulang going to buy vegetables? Today, there are cucumbers and loofahs that are tender. I just bought them." Aunt Xu's family recommended it to Li Zhouzhou.
This is Xu's next door to Li's, which is Xu Wenbin's grandma.Aunt Xu is about 40 years old. I heard that she rented the yard earlier. It was Aunt Xu who opened the steamed stuffed bun shop by herself. Her teenage son helped her, and the men carried bags outside to do coolies. They worked hard for several years. , bought the yard, married his son a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a grandson named Xu Wenbin.
Li Zhouzhou and Aunt Xu also chatted while shopping for vegetables a few days ago.
"Look, how fresh it is." Aunt Xu showed the vegetable basket to Li Zhouzhou, and said, "Out of the alley, the second person to buy vegetables on the main street, this basket is a penny cheaper for me. Don't be thin-skinned and won't bargain, you have to talk."
Li Zhouzhou looked at the cucumber with flowers on the stalks of this dish, looking juicy and tender.
"Okay, I see, thank you, Auntie."
"No thanks, let's go."
Li Zhouzhou went to buy vegetables.
Aunt Xu was carrying a vegetable basket back to the yard, just in time to see her grandson Xu Wenbin sneaking with his hands behind his back. He didn't know what was hiding behind his back, and his face fell down, "What are you hiding? Don't let Grandma see it. Did you give it to Sanniang next door?" Take bean paste buns?"
"No, no." Xu Wenbin shook his head.
Aunt Xu didn't believe it when she saw it, the boy in his family was fascinated by the third lady next door every day, no matter how old he was, he would ask Xiaowen to touch the bean paste bag and send it over, really——
never mind.Aunt Xu didn't want to say too harsh words. The two had lived next door for more than ten years. She also watched the Zhou family give birth to three girls in succession. She wanted to have a son like crazy, but she couldn't live up to it.
It's still good for her family, the daughter-in-law is up to the challenge, and the first child is a child.
"Grandma is not angry, let Grandma see, are you sending bean paste buns to Sanniang again?" Aunt Xu coaxed her grandson.
Xu Wenbin believed it, shook his head and said, "It's not bean paste buns, grandma, don't tell grandma, I'll just tell you."
"Look at my Xiaowen's cleverness, please do it, grandma will keep it a secret from you." Aunt Xu looked at her grandson lovingly.
Xu Wenbin touched it quietly, and took out the hands behind his back to show Grandma.
There is an embroidered red head rope on it.
Aunt Xu knew at a glance that this was bought by her son. She bought two of them at the time. She was a purple one, and this red one was bought by her son for his wife, because it was embroidered on it, and it was more ordinary than usual. The hair rope is more expensive.
"What are you doing with your mother?" Aunt Xu had already figured it out.
What else can I do, just send San Niang to the courtyard next door.
Xu Wenbin didn't realize that Grandma's tone was wrong, and said seriously: "I frightened Sanniang last time and made Sanniang cry. She doesn't want the bean paste buns I gave her, and she doesn't play with me anymore. She likes red rope... ..."
"You can take whatever she likes." Aunt Xu's voice became displeased.
Xu Wenbin sensed something was wrong at this moment.
……
Li Zhouzhou walked to the main street. He had just finished shopping for vegetables. He picked some cucumbers, some cabbage, and bought a few eggs. It would be easier for him to eat by himself at noon. When Xianggong came back, he made scrambled eggs with cucumbers, bought some meat, and fried sliced meat with shallots.
I bought a green onion yesterday, and there is one more.This thing can be put.
After buying the vegetables, he also asked where to hold the chickens. Li Zhouzhou spent money to hold the chickens of nine females and one male. The seller gave him the chickens with a cage so that he could take them back with him.
Li Zhouzhou thought he had some work to do in the afternoon, so he wanted to make a bigger chicken coop.
When passing by the vinegar shop, I didn’t see Mrs. Zhang looking at the shop. There was no one there. There was a customer waiting to make vinegar. He yelled a few times to see if anyone was there. Aunt Zhang hurried out and said, “Here we are, yes, yes.” .”
In the past, it was Aunt Zhang who watched the shop and beat her up.
But Li Zhouzhou didn't think much about it, he just concentrated on thinking about his own chicken, and he was busy when he went back.I happened to miss the "little lawsuit" between Xu's family and Zhang's family next door.
Aunt Xu's complexion changed after hearing what her grandson said, but after all, her family's Xu Wenbin was wrong, but people's hearts are all biased, that's wrong first, grandson has already paid for it, right? Don't forgive me, I don't want to send bean bags, but I dare to wait here?
A bean bag costs three Wen, and a hair rope costs twenty Wen.
At a young age, it's good to care about it.Aunt Xu was not happy, and immediately took the hair rope and took her grandson to find his daughter-in-law and told the whole story, Xu Wenbin was already scared to death.
The daughter-in-law’s name is Huan Niang. When she saw the headband, she was reluctant to wear it for daily work. Naturally, she was angry when she saw her son taking it to others, but after listening to it, she whispered to her mother-in-law: “Mother, after all, It's all Xiaowen's idea, and I haven't sent it yet, so I'm afraid it's not good to find the Zhang family and make trouble?"
"Whoever said there is going to be trouble, let me say a few words." Aunt Xu also knew that her family had no reason to make trouble, and she definitely didn't ruin the relationship with the neighbors because of this. How about sending money to the next door?"
Huan Niang also felt that it was not possible, and said tentatively: "Then talk about it?"
"Don't worry about it, let me tell you. Make some red bean paste buns and I'll send them over later." Aunt Xu said.
Huan Niang hurriedly agreed, saying that her mother-in-law had an idea, "If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to say that."
Aunt Xu naturally knew that her daughter-in-law's temperament was like a bean paste bun, poking a hole, she was stupid and couldn't speak, and it would be hard to die if she asked Huan Niang to stand out.
Huanniang picked up a few freshly baked bean paste buns, Aunt Xu carried them, and coaxed Xu Wenbin, "Don't be afraid, Xiaowen, grandma will coax Sanniang for you, and Sanniang will play with you in the future."
"Really? Grandma!" Xu Wenbin believed it, and said happily, "That's great."
Aunt Xu touched her grandson's face, thinking that her family's Xiaowen is good everywhere, this is her heart and daughter-in-law, she is a soft-hearted person who doesn't care about being soft-hearted, and people will believe what others say, and can be coaxed.
The grandfather and grandson knocked on the door of Zhang's house next door with a bowl of red bean paste buns.
Mrs. Zhou was at the front looking at the shop, when her aunt called her to say that Grandma Xu was coming next door.Zhou asked the man to take care of the shop first.Her aunt is 12 years old this year. Seeing that it is time to start touching her in-laws, she can no longer be treated like a child like in the past, and she can no longer do the business of keeping a shop and collecting money.
The aunt is embroidering in the house, and the second mother is learning to tie the tape, making some small odds and ends to sell for money together, and to make pocket money for herself.Sanniang is young, only five years old, and she just takes care of herself on weekdays.
"Auntie, why are you here at this time? The house is not busy." Zhou said with a smile.
Aunt Xu held a bowl of bean buns, smiled and said, "Aren't you here to make up for my kid and your Sanniang?"
Naturally, Mrs. Zhou refused not to want the bean buns, saying that they were all from children's homes, and that adults would not come to the door if they were jostling and jostling.Aunt Xu smiled and put the bowl on the table, and said: "It's my own stuff, give it to the three girls, don't push it."
Here, Mrs. Zhou agreed to follow the words. Three bean buns cost only nine Wen, which is not expensive. If the Xu family buys vinegar another day, she will just go back cheap.There are back and forth.
Who knew that just after Zhou's side agreed, Aunt Xu on the other side laughed and said, "If Sanniang doesn't accept the beanbags anymore, I don't know if my Xiaowen, who is honest, will give Sanniang any compensation."
"...What?" Mrs. Zhou sensed something was wrong.
Aunt Xu patted her grandson's head affectionately, and said, "This kid is honest, he keeps saying that he should apologize to Sanniang, and made Sanniang cry. Sanniang stopped playing with him, and he can't even be coaxed with beanbags." Just now when I went back from shopping, I saw Xiaowen holding his aunt's headband to compensate Sanniang, right? The hairband is not expensive, but it's only twenty yuan, but his mother likes it. My boy won't let go. If you make a mistake, let Sanniang play with it, or you won't follow me."
"No, I'll bring Xiaowen over here and tell San Niang well."
"Grandma Xu brought you the bean bag, just eat it, sweeten our Sanniang's mouth, and have fun with Xiaowen in the future, you two grew up together, he bullied you, grandma Xu told you that he ..."
After Mrs. Zhou finished listening, the smile disappeared from her eyes. She understood it. On the surface, she was sending bean buns to her family. Responsive.
This is turning a corner and saying that her third mother doesn't understand etiquette and is not generous in trivial matters. She was angry with the Xu family boy and made Xu Wenbin dizzy and lost his mind.
"Auntie saw what you said, and came to the door in person for such a trivial matter. Xiaowen threatened Sanniang with worms and threw them on Sanniang's head. I also know that boys are more skinny. My Sanniang was shocked after that time." , woke up at night and didn't sleep well, so I stopped her from going out to play again." Zhou said with a smile and ran back.
Who wouldn't.
"I watched Xiaowen grow up. He is a simple and honest child. He is straight-hearted, a bit reckless, and has no evil intentions. How can he deliberately scare Sanniang? I don't worry about it. Why do you still think about it?" Come here on purpose." Zhou smiled.
Aunt Xu smiled back and went back. The two went back and forth a few tricks, and finally the two children made up on the surface and said they would play together in the future.But after Aunt Xu left with the empty bowl, Mrs. Zhou slammed the courtyard door shut first. There was such a noise that Aunt Xu heard it too and spat.
Then he started pointing and cursing Huai through a wall.
Zhou scolded her daughter in the courtyard, and she scolded the Xu family next door.
"As long as you are greedy, a few bean buns can be eaten by anyone. If you have a bad heart, you don't have to worry about spoiling your stomach."
In the courtyard of Xu's family at the other end, Huanniang was watching her mother-in-law, why did she make a fuss after sending her back?
Aunt Xu put the bowl into her daughter-in-law's hand, and she was also full of anger. This Zhou family deserves to be unable to give birth to a boy, and just said that her family Xiaowen is honest and reckless, what do you mean?Doesn't it mean that his Xiaowen is a silly boy.
"Eat chicken at noon, butcher it quickly. The saving will be a waste of rice. What's the use of keeping chickens that don't lay eggs?"
The Xu family raised three hens.
Huanniang didn't know why her mother-in-law suddenly said to kill the chicken, and she said it so loudly, so she quickly agreed.When I really went to the stove and took the knife out, my mother-in-law stopped me and said that she was stupid and really slaughtered chickens.
Then why did you say that?
Huanniang couldn't figure it out, but the Zhang family next door didn't yell at them anymore, and it was only when they picked up eggs from the chicken coop the next day that they realized that yesterday the mother-in-law was talking about Zhou's family through the hen's laying eggs.
Zhou gave birth to three, but all three were girls.
Poked Zhou's sore spot.
When Li Zhouzhou was building a nest for the chickens at home, he heard the voices from the next door, saying that the hens would be slaughtered and eaten if they didn’t lay eggs If you don't know how to call time, you can only kill and eat meat.
Then he continued to build the chicken coop. Not long after the work was done, Mrs. Zhang came over with a few daughters, and brought homemade pickles for Li Zhouzhou.
Said that your family has been moving in for so long, and you haven't come to visit. You have to come over to sit and talk in the afternoon, don't disturb me?
Of course Li Zhouzhou invited Aunt Zhang to sit down, emptied the pickle bowl, washed the bowl, grabbed a handful of peanuts, put them in the bowl, put them on the table, and greeted Aunt Zhang, Erniang and Sanniang to eat.
"The peanuts I collect at home are all made by myself. My husband likes to eat salted crisps. Sister-in-law, you can try it."
Mrs. Zhou was not polite either, she squeezed a piece and peeled it off, ate one by herself and stuffed the other into Erniang's mouth.
"Hey, delicious, really delicious."
Li Zhouzhou didn't know what happened to Mrs. Zhang, so he poured tea and sat with her for a chat.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhou. She was angry with Xu's family at noon. She might not go to Xu's house to chat for a while in the future. Her family did nothing wrong, so why should the courtyard be closed? The door let the Xu family go back and forth in the alley to pretend to be good people.
who won't.
There are only a few households in an alley, and some of them have a better relationship with the Xu family.Mrs. Zhou made the idea to the newly moved Li's family. Mr. Li Zhou Zhou is still a scholar, how wonderful.
If Gu Zhao was here, he would know that Mrs. Zhou was here to form a clique to find teammates.
After being polite, Mrs. Zhou talked about what happened at noon, and said exactly what happened, "...you also saw that her kid first frightened San Niang, and now he is still using buns to scare people."
"What do you say that hens don't lay eggs? Isn't that scolding me for not being up to date? I have been neighbors for more than ten years, and I never imagined that people would look at me like this and poke my sore spots with words." When Zhou said here, it was true. Kind of sad, wiping tears.
When Li Zhouzhou met, he didn't know what to say, so he poured hot tea for Aunt Zhang first, and thought about his own business, "When I was in the village before I got married, people in the village said I was hard-fated and I didn't look good. My brother's mole is too faint to be seen, like a man."
Zhou stopped wiping her tears, thinking that it was true, she misunderstood the first day Li's family came.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang stopped crying, Li Zhouzhou continued: "When I was five years old, my father died of illness, and my father took me to separate the family. Life was hard, unlike the easy life in prefectures and counties. Work in the fields."
"Later, when I was eighteen, the people in the village introduced me to widowers, tuberculosis patients who were dying soon, or poor bums from a poor family."
People are like this, Zhou Shi felt that she was suffering before, and was poked in the heart, but now, after hearing what Li Zhouzhou said, she suddenly didn't feel that she was suffering.
"You didn't agree, did you? This is sending people to the fire pit."
Li Zhouzhou: "No, my father loves me. I am an only brother, so I recruited a son-in-law and found my husband. I was nineteen and my husband was married. My husband was sixteen at the time, and life gradually got better after that. .”
"If the front is bitter, the future will be blessed. People in the village say that about me."
Li Zhouzhou wanted to use himself to comfort Mrs. Zhang. In his opinion, Mrs. Zhang was not suffering much. She didn't have to work in the fields, and the three girls were all beautiful and well-behaved.
"How long have you been married to Gu Xiucai?"
"I am 21 this year, and my husband is [-]. It has been three years."
Mrs. Zhou was speechless, Li Zhouzhou saw what Auntie Zhang was thinking, and said, "My brother Mo Dan thinks it's better to take a few years off, let's make up his body first, this matter can't be rushed."
Then I told Mrs. Zhang the method of strengthening the body that Xianggong said.
Mrs. Zhou really doesn't feel that she is suffering, but this one in front of her is really suffering. She is living a life like coptis. I think she has given birth to three at least, and her stomach is fine, but Brother Li Zhou and Zhou have a mole. I can't see it at all, and I don't know where it grows.
After talking, when she left, the anger in Zhou's heart dissipated.
"Let's walk around more in the future. If you don't understand anything, just come to my sister-in-law's house. You're welcome." Zhou said enthusiastically.
Li Zhouzhou saw the guest out, nodded and agreed.It can be felt that Mrs. Zhang is not as polite and enthusiastic towards him as before, and what she just said is sincere.
I just don't understand why, he just said a few words about himself, and the effect of comforting Mrs. Zhang is so good?
Mrs. Zhou took the two daughters back to her own yard, and said to the man when they were having lunch: "Li Zhouzhou, who just moved in, had a difficult life before. His father died of illness when he was five years old, and he separated to work with his father. He also said that doing field work, my brother is not pregnant, and doing field crop work must be tired, poor thing."
"Father is dead and the family needs to be separated, so the grandma above won't help look after the children?"
It wasn't until Zhou realized that, yes, in the afternoon, he was thinking about conceiving a child.
"I'm afraid there is some discord here." Zhou said affirmatively, "I see that it can't be the problem of Li Fulang's family."
She could tell that Li Zhouzhou was an honest person, and he would not speak sharp words.That's right, not everyone is like that old guy from the Xu family, who only knows how to play tricks.
Qingping Academy.
As usual, Gu Zhao entered the classroom 15 minutes earlier. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that there were more plane students behind him. He was late, and those who were later than him could only sit behind him. .
According to Zheng Hui's information, this should be No.1 in their class.
Straight A student!
Gu Zhao went up to put his schoolbag, and was about to introduce, Zheng Hui turned his head and winked at him.Gu Zhao: ...
"Hello, classmates. We are in the same class. My name is Gu Zhao, from Xiping Village."
Xueba put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Strictly trustworthy, a native of Yanjia Village."
"Why didn't you answer me when I asked you yesterday? Gu Zhaowen, if you believe me carefully, just tell me." Zheng Hui, winking, ran over and asked puzzledly.
Yan Jinxin didn't reply, and continued to read with his head down.Zheng Hui got angry, and Gu Zhaocai didn't bother to settle the lawsuit. Although they were in the first grade, they were really not primary school students, so don't fight!
"Brother Zheng, do you want to go to the study together in the afternoon?"
"go."
Zheng Hui first agreed, and Gu Zhao said again: "Have you finished reading the book you bought a few days ago? You didn't mean to lend me a look."
"Hehehe, didn't you say you didn't want to watch it? Are you regretting it now? I said it's really good-looking, so I'll give it to you later." Zheng Huile couldn't do it, and completely forgot to ask Yan Jinxin.
Gu Zhao: ...
He didn't read it before because of what Zheng Hui said in the book. He heard it roughly. It was a small love story, almost a story about a rich lady falling in love with a poor scholar, and her determination was unswerving.
It's just... Gu Zhao is not interested, and now he just wants to change the topic to prevent fights.
I don't even look at the place, it's almost time for class.
"Let's talk about it at lunchtime."
"it is good."
Zheng Hui sat back in his seat.
Yan Jinxin, who was sitting behind, glanced at Gu Zhao and curled his lips. He thought that Gu Zhao, like him, was from a poor family from a farming family and should spend all his time studying. Money sycophant fool.
Gu Zhao felt Xueba's eyes from behind, but he didn't think much about it, and concentrated on reading the book.
Classes in the academy are divided into morning and afternoon, and there is a big section. If you want to go to the bathroom during the period, you should raise your hand to signal. The content of the class depends on how the master teaches. Generally, you first recite what you learned the day before, and then ask questions to recite, understand the meaning, and then continue recite.Or silently write.
In the afternoon of the next day, I go to the four arts: etiquette, playing the piano, arithmetic, and archery.
These four arts classes are almost the same as physical education and music classes in modern high schools, and they are relaxation classes.Most of the students in the class deal with errands and don't like it very much. It's like high school physical education class. Some people read novels to play, and some have secretly learned to memorize vocabulary and make papers.
Zheng Hui belongs to the type who loves the Four Arts courses.
This afternoon happened to be teaching arithmetic and archery.
One morning after class ended, Zheng Hui couldn't sit still as soon as the teacher left, so he went to the cafeteria to eat.Gu Zhao asked the later Xueba if he believed in strictness.Who knew that when he greeted him in the morning, he was still serious and serious, so he would give him a cold look and turn his head aside.
The attitude is obvious: disdain to collude with you.
Gu Zhao:? ? ?
"I wanted to tell you this morning. He moved here yesterday and happened to be in the same house as me. I kindly greeted him and borrowed my oil lamp for him to use. Seeing that his bedding was not worn and he slept hard, I have extra Ask him, and he loses his temper."
"Say I humiliated him."
Zheng Hui was completely baffled. Did he borrow something and also borrow something bad?
The strict letter who ignored the two immediately said: "Don't frame me indiscriminately. I am not an unreasonable person. I thank you for lending me something, but you are obviously humiliating me by pretending to be kind."
"Where did I humiliate you? How did I humiliate you?"
"'It's been so long since you came to the academy knowingly, why didn't your parents prepare the bedding for you', is that what you said?" Yan Jinxin sarcastically said, "'You can do whatever you want, it's just an oil lamp. Men don't have to be told by their mothers-in-law, 'Is this what you said?"
Zheng Hui: "That's right, I said it all. Where did I go wrong? You came so late and didn't bring your bedding, so I just asked. Didn't your family prepare everything for you? It's just an oil lamp, I borrowed it from you, you I said thank you, and I said you’re welcome, you’ll say it’s ready soon, blow it up a bit, click on it, I told you not to be so frugal, just do what you like, what’s wrong?”
Gu Zhao: ...
I understood it.
This is a combination of carelessness and self-esteem.
Gu Zhao hurriedly stopped arguing: "Brother Zheng, brother Yan, stop arguing." Seeing the two of them stopped to look at him, he said, "Brother Zheng is warm-hearted, speaks outspokenly, and never humiliates Brother Yan's mother-in-law or disrespects his parents. meaning."
"???" Zheng Hui came to his senses after hearing Gu Zhao's words, and said, "I'm not disrespectful, and I'm not talking about your mother-in-law, but a man doesn't have to care about small details, that oil lamp—"
"Don't mention the oil lamp, let's eat." Seeing that Yan Jingxin's face softened, he should be able to listen to the words, so he pinched his pulse and said, "Hurry up, the canteen will be finished in a while, I don't want to spend money on meat dishes eat."
When Yan Jingxin heard it, he had to spend money when he ran out of food, so he didn't hesitate to join Gu Zhao.Zheng Hui walked beside and shouted: "Let's go together, don't walk so fast, if there is no food, what's the matter, I'll treat you two to eat."
How can a gentleman accept the food that comes from the sigh!Rigorous belief and anger.
Gu Zhaotou didn't reply and said, "Come on, your family gives you limited pocket money every month, and most of the books you bought earlier are gone, so don't waste your money. Besides, if you don't eat for free, why spend money, the key is It's a dish that costs money—" His face was indescribable.
"How about the food that costs money?" Yan Jinxin was curious.Most of the anger I mentioned just now has dissipated. From Gu Zhao's voice, this Zheng Hui is not that rich.
Gu Zhao: "The meat dishes are free dishes. Some egg residues can be seen in them, or they can be fried with lard. In short, the taste doesn't change much. It's not worth it anyway. I won't spend money on it, and I'm not Zheng Hui."
Yan Jingxin smiled.Zheng Hui: "I understand. Are you scolding me for saying I'm stupid for spending money on food?"
"Brother Zheng has a big belly, don't be angry, don't be angry." Gu Zhao smiled and waved his hands to apologize to Zheng Hui.
Just kidding.
Zheng Hui also laughed, "I'm not stingy." He also glanced at Yan Jingxin.
"I misunderstood." Yan Jinxin seriously apologized.Zheng Hui was embarrassed, and after sitting down and eating, he said: "I have been easily offended when I speak since I was a child. My family is in a small business, so my father said he would send me to study, otherwise he would drive away customers with his mouth. Let me be clean."
The misunderstanding is resolved, so we don't mention what happened yesterday.
Yan Jinxin and Gu Zhaobei are not the same: "I misunderstood you this morning as a person who flatters the rich and powerful."
"Brother Yan, you really flattered me." Zheng Hui said with a smile.
Gu Zhaocai knew that there was another issue, but he didn't dwell on this issue much. The three of them got to know each other formally, Zheng Hui was the biggest, rigorous and trustworthy, and Gu Zhao was the youngest.However, Yan Jinxin was started late, at the age of 12, and then he hit the game once.
It's also a genius.
It is good to write poetry and Fu.
It happened to be Gu Zhao's shortcoming.
"Then I'll have to ask Brother Yan for advice more." Gu Zhao said with a smile, "I'm really not good at writing poems and fuss."
At this time, Yan Jinxin thought it was Gu Zhao's self-effacing, and said that there was no need to ask for advice, and that in the future it would be to ask each other for advice.Later, when Yan Jinxin read Gu Zhao's poems, he realized that Gu Zhaozhen was not talking about self-effacing today.
We finished our lunch.
Zheng Hui wanted to go back to the dormitory to get the script, but Gu Zhao said goodbye, and he would wait for a while after school in the afternoon, otherwise it would be bad if the teacher found out that the script was brought to class, and he would be punished.
"Did you forget? It's the four arts class in the afternoon, learning arithmetic and archery, what are you afraid of?" Zheng Hui said again: "I'll go now, make sure to hide it well, don't worry."
After all, he ran back to the dormitory.
