Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

Hearing the sound of chopping wood from outside, Mrs. Gu, who was looking for a book in the small wooden cabinet, froze for a moment, frowned and looked out, then lowered his head and found a copy of "San Zi Jing" from the cabinet. Ah Bao, who was standing aside, "What's your name?"

"Ah, Ah Bao."

"I don't eat people, why are you nervous?" Ah Bao has delicate features, red lips and white teeth. After being raised by Gu Ci for a while, his complexion has improved a lot. Even with such a timid appearance, it makes people feel a bit cute and cute. Master Gu couldn't help but smiled, "Looks like a smart kid."

Before coming here, my sister told him that my wife likes children who are enthusiastic and lively, so I told him not to be afraid, just reply to my teacher’s words in a proper manner, but he is also a stupid one, and after holding back for a long time, Abao finally stumbled Replied: "Thank you, thank you for your compliment."

Looking at his blushing little face, Mrs. Gu suddenly remembered the rumors in the village about Gu Laoer's family, and thought to himself that the child's aura might be lost by the Liu family, so he couldn't help sighing in a low voice. He took a deep breath, "Go and sit down over there."

A Bao nodded obediently, and then took a step and sat on the chair in front of the dilapidated desk, and Mrs. Gu also sat opposite him.

"Your sister said you haven't enlightened yet, so today you can follow me and recite a few lines from the "Three Character Classic." Master Gu opened the book, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Abao's eyes full of expectation, and his brows relaxed a little.He has been a teacher for more than ten years, and he is very accurate in seeing what is hidden in the children's eyes. A child like Po must be diligent and studious.

What he said to Gu Ci just now was not to put on the airs of a scholar, but it is really not easy for farmers to earn a little money, and some children have no talent, not to mention, they still hang nets for three days and fish for two days , I didn't really want to study at all, and I couldn't read a few big characters all year round.Such a result was something neither his parents nor he wanted to see. Not only would his parents' hard-earned money be wasted, but he, as a master, would also have a reputation for not being able to teach.

After learning such a lesson, Mrs. Gu is unwilling to teach anyone. He has to do a test for the children who are sent to the school. Only after passing the test can he be his student. It's all clear, if the parents still insist on sending it to the school, he will accept it, but he doesn't care if he can learn something.

Although Ah Bao doesn’t know what is good about reading, but several times when he watched his uncle’s cousin come back from the elementary school with a small schoolbag on his back, shaking his head and reading words he didn’t understand, he was very envious.

Now hearing that Master is going to take him to study, he is a little overwhelmed with excitement, looking at Master, he dare not show his breath, for fear that he will not be able to learn.

Master Gu looked at his tense little face, patted his head with pity, and comforted him: "Master, I don't make things difficult for you, just read a few simple sentences."

"No, not embarrassing." A Bao thought that the master thought he was stupid, blushing, and said with effort: "A Bao, I like reading."

"Master likes children who like to read." Master Gu withdrew his hand, "I will read a sentence, you will read a sentence after me, and I will lead you to read it three times, and then you have to read it yourself, understand?"

Ah Bao nodded, then remembered what his sister said, and tried to make his voice louder, "Understood."

Gu Fuzi felt a little relieved when he saw that the child was motivated to study, and led him to read a section.

Ah Bao was able to read fluently, but when it was his turn to read, he couldn't hold back his words after reading a few sentences, scratching his head nervously, for fear that Master would not want him, "Master, I, I just remembered..."

"Well. A child can be taught, and his aptitude is acceptable." Mrs. Gu knows that children are too nervous, and they forget while thinking, which is normal, but they still have the ability to accept. When this timid temperament changes, take a good look at it. Teaching is a piece of talent that can be created.

The words were so polite that Ah Bao couldn't understand. Seeing Mrs. Gu put away the book, she thought she was rejected, and when she went out with Mrs. Gu, her face was ashamed.

"Master Gu." As soon as he saw the person coming out, Gu Ci hurriedly patted the dust off his hands, then pulled his sleeves to wipe away his sweat.

Master Gu nodded, and turned his head to look at the corner of the pile of firewood. In just a short while, Gu Ci not only helped him chop up all the firewood, but also stacked them neatly. It can be seen that he does things neatly. When he looked at Gu Ci, he couldn't help admiring him. Although he is a scholar, his thinking is not pedantic. Looking at Gu Ci's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, instead of thinking that this woman is a fierce face, on the contrary, she is a promising auspicious face.

"Although Ah Bao is late in his enlightenment, he is very motivated to study, but he is a little timid. Take care of him. If he has the opportunity to send him to the school in the town to study in the future, he may be able to pass the exam and come back."

When Gu Ci first saw A Bao's ashen face when he came out, he also thought that his younger brother was a rotten wood that could not be carved. Hearing this, he was overjoyed, "Thank you for your good words."

Master Gu waved his hand, "Are you ready for the Four Treasures of the Study?"

"I'm ready, I bought pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but they are not good things."

"These things cost the most money. At the beginning, buying good things is also a waste. Every household has plant ash. If you have nothing to do, you can use tree branches to practice big characters on the ground first."

With that said, Mrs. Gu entered the room again, took out an old copybook, and handed it to Gu Ci, "Hold this, and when Ah Bao learns to write big characters, I will use this to copy."

Gu Ci was both surprised and delighted, but he was more embarrassed, and hurriedly pushed the things back, "This, why is this so embarrassing?"

"I told you to hold it." Master Gu impatiently pushed people around, and glanced at the pile of firewood, "If you feel sorry, you can give me a gift of chopping firewood now."

Gu Ci's face turned red, and he took the initiative to split the firewood for others. It was not intentional to be a good boy in front of Mrs. Gu. With an itchy hand, I helped to do the work.

"I've also heard about your family's incident." Mrs. Gu forced the copybook into Gu Ci's hand, "Most children who lost their mothers in their infancy are pitiful. Ah Bao is lucky to have a sister like you."

Gu Ci was moved in his heart, knowing that what Master Gu said just now was to make her accept the copybook with peace of mind, not to turn a corner and say that she deliberately flattered him, and he respected Master Gu even more.

After talking about the specific opening date of the elementary school, Mrs. Gu explained a few more words, and then Gu Ci took A Bao to leave and go back.

Not far from the gate of the courtyard, a man came across. According to the customs of the village, unmarried young men and women should avoid it, but they both turned sideways in the same direction.

Gu Ci didn't think about it, and turned to the other side very naturally, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man opposite was looking at her, and he simply nodded generously.

The man was embarrassed, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and his face turned red. Seeing this, Gu Ci couldn't help but frowned. How could this man be as shy as a girl, so he hurriedly took A Bao's hand and walked quickly gone.

"and many more……"

Just as the two passed by, the man behind him suddenly made a sound. Gu Ci wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, and continued to pull A Bao forward.

"Girl, wait a minute."

Gu Ci wanted to continue pretending to be deaf, but he didn't want this little traitor, A Bao, to stop leaving and remind her: "Sister, the brother behind is calling you."

As an old girl who was asserted by the villagers that she would not be able to marry, Gu Ci herself did not shy away from such things, but this country woman loves to gossip and gossip, so she didn't want to cause a show.It's just that Abao has reminded her aloud now that she is going to pretend to be deaf and dumb again, but it arouses people's daydream.

"Is this little brother calling me?"

The man nodded, but looked at Gu Ci and didn't know what to say, he stood there helplessly and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Gu Ci only felt that this person was inexplicable, looked him up and down, he looked like a frail scholar, looking at his face, he looked a bit like Master Gu, Gu Ci looked at the direction he was going with the things in his hand, and secretly guessed this person Afraid that he was Mrs. Gu's son, although he was impatient in his heart, he still had a good voice on his face, "Do you have something to do?"

What can I do when we meet for the first time?

"No, no, no." The man shook his head, sneaked a look at Gu Ci, but was caught by A Bao's bright black eyes, and quickly avoided his sight.

"If little brother is fine, then I'll go first." Gu Ci frowned slightly, then nodded to him again.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Is it over?

Gu Cifan was furious, and without turning his head, he just froze in place, waiting for his next words.

"Girl, girl, do you agree to kiss?"

Gu Ci wanted to yell at this person for being too dissolute, but he could clearly hear the trembling in his tone, which showed that he mustered up the courage to speak out.She stood on the spot and took a deep breath, and when she was about to speak, Ah Bao beside her smiled and replied, "My sister is not engaged."

The child of the poor was in charge of the family early, he was disobedient when he was young, and the adults in the family used to scare him with words like "I can't marry a wife". Although he is young, he is much more precocious than Jiaojiao in this respect.

He also knew that the reason why his sister was kicked out by his father was because he disliked her and would not be able to marry anyway, and her leg was injured, so she would become an old girl in the family and waste food.

"A Bao!" Gu Ci tugged at his younger brother's ear resentfully. Now that she pretended to be stupid, she knew what the man behind her meant. "Brother, be careful."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the explanation from the people behind him, Gu Ci pulled A Bao up and walked away quickly.

After walking a long distance, Gu Ci let out a foul breath, and poked A Bao's forehead to teach him: "No one is allowed to tell what happened today." She was afraid that the child would not be able to keep the secret, so she put on a tiger face and deliberately Threatening my younger brother, "If you tell the truth, my sister will not be able to gain a foothold in the village in the future."

If someone is willing to marry an older sister, that older sister should not work so hard in the future. Ah Bao doesn't understand why her older sister is so angry, but when she hears what follows, she nods nervously, "Don't tell anyone, don't tell anyone."

Gu Ci thought about his audacity just now, and became furious again, "In the future, if you meet such a strange man who strikes up a conversation with you, don't make a sound, you know?"

Ah Bao was really angry when he saw her, how could he dare to talk too much, he was frightened like a little quail, "I know, I know."

Gu Ci just wanted him to teach him a lesson, seeing his pitiful frightened appearance, he didn't intend to comfort him, so he held his hand and continued walking back.

On the other side, the man stood there for a long time, until he saw the figures of Gu Ci's two siblings disappearing from sight, then he looked away, turned and walked towards Mrs. Gu's house.

After Mrs. Gu sent Gu Ci and his sister away, he took a hoe to rest the open space in the yard and prepared to plant some cabbages.

His family is in Pingxi Village next door, which is some distance away from Gujia Village. When the farming season is off and the children in Gujia Village are free to go to school, he will come here alone. An additional small house was built nearby for him, enough for him to live alone.

"Father, didn't mother say that you don't know how to do these things and won't let you do it?" Gu Ci guessed right, this man is Mrs. Gu's only son.

"Jiahe, why are you here?" Mrs. Gu hurriedly turned around when he heard the voice, and was still quite happy to see his son, "Is the school on holiday?"

Jiahe is the name of the man in front of him, his name is Gu Xize, he is more promising than his father, he is 16 years old, that is, he was selected as a scholar last year, he is studying in the school in the town, and he is going to participate in the Qiuwei every two years.

"Well, my master is sick, so I might as well advance this month's monthly leave by a few days. Mother said you came to the school in Gujia Village, so let me come and see you." Gu Jiahe nodded, and put his things away as he spoke. After putting it in the house, he also rolled up his sleeves, tied up his trousers and walked towards the field. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the neat pile of firewood, and couldn't help being stunned. When will you be able to chop the firewood so evenly?"

Being teased by his son, Mrs. Gu blushed, "I didn't chop this. Just now, the daughter of Gu's second family in the village came over with her younger brother, and spontaneously chopped the firewood for me."

Gu Jiahe's expression was slightly startled, but he quickly realized, "The two siblings just left?"

Master Gu raised his eyebrows, "What? Did you see them just now?"

Gu Jiahe was inexplicably guilty, under his father's probing gaze, he cut straight to the point, "Father, what do you think of that girl?"
