Farmer's little scholar

"It's nothing bad. If you can do the work at home, I can do it." He said with a smile: "You have to be careful, if I really don't do anything, all the work in the future will be yours, and you I can't be free. I don't have time to do some things I want to do."

"I can. I don't have to be idle, and I don't have anything to do."

Lin Xu's serious face made Mo Qiyu laugh inwardly, he was so active in his work.

He pretended to sigh and said: "Oh, I planned to teach you how to read. But you don't have the time? Then, I have to forget it."

Lin Xu's eyes were wide open, but before his brain could react, he held onto Mo Qiyu's sleeve honestly.

"Yu, Brother Yu, do you want to teach me how to read?"

"But don't you have time to spare?"

"I, I can have time. I can learn to write as soon as I finish it quickly."

"Really want to learn?"

Lin Xu opened his round eyes and said expectantly: "Yes, yes. As long as you are willing to teach me, Brother Yu." His voice became lower and lower.He wanted to say that he was stupid, but he was afraid that Mo Qiyu would not teach him after he said it.But what if he was found out that he was stupid?

Seeing Lin Xu's happy and sad look for a while, Mo Qiyu thought it was very funny.Raise children, tease children, and you will know how happy you are.It's the kind that is so happy that you want to hug and rub it.

"Go and wash your hands." Mo Qiyu was instantly serious.

Lin Xu froze for a moment, then hurried to fetch water to wash his hands.

When he came to the main room, Mo Qiyu was already sitting upright.There are also some blank paper and brushes on the table.

Lin Xu started dawdling from the entrance of the main room, and Mo Qiyu didn't rush when he arrived. He was thinking about a problem, that is, when he first arrived, in order to write calligraphy similar to that of the original owner, he used a brush with few hairs. Rooted.

Glancing sideways at Lin Xu, he said, "How about we buy a pen first?"

"No need." Lin Xu waved his hand and said, "The pen is very expensive. I can write on the ground." Not only did he not want to use a pen, he also didn't want to use paper.

Mo Qiyu didn't force it either. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are really expensive here, after all, productivity is low, isn't it?

"That's fine. Then I'll teach you how to write your name first."

The two came out of the main room and came to the courtyard where the soil had just been loosened.Picking up wooden branches, one taught some writing, but it was a waste of freshly washed hands.

It didn't take much time to finish the two words.It's just because it was Lin Xu's first time to write, and the strokes were messed up as if he was drawing a picture.Either way, it was soft as if there was no strength, and of course it was partly due to the wooden branches and soft soil.

Seeing Lin Xu's frugal appearance, and thinking about the Cui family and the imperial examination, Mo Qiyu felt that it was better not to buy a pen.We can make our own pens.

When he thought of it, he did it, and took Lin Xu to the place where they went up the mountain last time.He also asked Cui who had just stepped into the courtyard to ask her to help get some wool or cow hair back.

Cui Shi: "..." Can I be ordered at will?

The two hurriedly chopped the Arhat bamboo back, one cut off the excess branches, and the other pressed down the main trunk.Cui's rice is ready, and the two are still obsessed with labor.

"It's time to eat, Xiaoxu, Ayu." Cui was a little speechless, and didn't know what the couple were doing.

"Here we come, Ma'am." Lin Xu quickly finished the work in hand.Then he said to Mo Qiyu: "Brother Yu, Auntie is ready to cook. Shall we go eat first?"

Putting down the work in hand, Mo Qiyu stood up, stretched himself, and said, "Let's go."

"What are you doing?" There is no rule of not speaking at the peasant family's dinner table.Cui didn't have time to ask before, but now she asks while eating and chatting.

With food in his mouth, Lin Xu turned his head to look at Mo Qiyu after listening to Cui Shi's questioning, his eyes were, tell me, tell me, what are we doing?

Seeing Lin Xu's appearance, Cui also put her eyes on Mo Qiyu, and Mo Qiyu said indifferently, "Make brushes."

"Yo, do you still have this skill?" Cui was not interested in it in an instant.

Lin Xu also lowered his head and slowly picked up the rice, but he was very moved in his heart.Brother Yu is making brushes for him. Although he doesn't know if he will succeed or not, he is still very happy.

Hearing Cui's sarcasm, Mo Qiyu scratched his head and continued to cook in silence.

There was nothing to entertain at night, and they all went back to the house to sleep when it got dark.

but…

"Brother Yu, why did you make lime water and put the wool in?"

"For degreasing."

"Skim, what do you mean by skim?"

"Degreasing is to remove the fat and fishy smell contained in the wool and disinfect it at the same time." Mo Qiyu lay on the bed and stared at the bed curtain, but he was still not used to this kind of early sleep.

"Then what is fat? What does disinfection mean? Is there any poison in the wool? Lin Xu turned to face Mo Qiyu, asking questions, and was a little panicked at the end."

"It's not poisonous." Mo Qiyu answered Lin Xu's most concerned question first, and then slowly explained: "Fat is simply fat. It's like your fried pork, won't it produce oil?"

Lin Xu nodded, and then remembered that Mo Qiyu would not be able to see it so dark, so he said, "Yeah, yes, is that fat?"

"Smart. Although wool is not poisonous, but you think, where does it stay? There are many small bugs in our beds, let alone sheep? So drink water in the future and drink boiled water, which can kill them under high temperature. Bacteria. The body is healthier without those bacteria."

"Then, what are bacteria?" After asking, Mo Qiyu didn't know how to answer, so he remained silent.

Lin Xu hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, I, I just asked casually, you don't need to answer."

"I'm just thinking about the answer, why are you panicking?" Mo Qiyu turned his head funny and looked at Lin Xu who was holding his upper body up because of nervousness.

Borrowing the moonlight, Mo Qiyu accidentally bumped into the slightly flustered eyes of the young man, but at that moment the young man's eyes seemed to have crushed the starlight.

Seeing Mo Qiyu's smiling eyes, Lin Xu quietly blushed in the dark.After slowly lying down, she said in a nonchalant manner, "I'm afraid that you, Brother Yu, think I'm stupid."

"You have never heard of this kind of word, how could you be stupid?"

Lin Xu just breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Brother Yu is really too understanding.

嗏

"It's more likely that I find you annoying because you ask too many questions." Seeing Lin Xu patted his chest as if he was relieved, Mo Qiyu felt bad again.

Lin Xu immediately held his breath, almost crying for Mo Qiyu with grievances.

Seeing this, Mo Qiyu immediately reached out to pat Lin Xu's head, and said, "I'm joking with you." Then pinched his face, and said seriously, "You haven't learned this before, it's normal that you don't understand. Don’t feel inferior, just don’t know how to learn. If you don’t know how to learn now, it doesn’t mean you won’t do it in the future. It’s the most valuable thing to have a willingness to learn. And in my opinion, not being able to ask questions is a particularly honest act, and it’s better than not being able to. It’s good to pretend to understand. You have to remember that no question is stupid.”?
