Another World Baixin

On the morning of the second August Festival when Bai Xin came here, the family of four got on the carriage and set off fully dressed.The town is very lively today, but Bai Xin hadn't seen it last year, so he would bump head-to-shoulder with Ah Shui and whisper to each other with great interest.Sitting in the innermost corner, Mrs. Qin looked at the two children playfully with a smile on her face.

There are still a lot of pheasants and ducks in the back of the carriage, ready to be sold or given away. If the shop is open, there is not much time to look after these animals.

At the entrance of the village, I ran into the two members of the Bai family and the Zheng family. It seemed that the whole family was dispatched and even got into a bullock cart.Lin Da didn't know that the ox cart was hired with money.

Today, Mrs. Hu, the in-law of the first room of the Bai family, invited Bai Baohua’s relatives to the town for a reunion dinner. Mrs. Fu of the first room paid special attention to this reunion dinner. A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang of the second room was told to dress up well and give the children a good look. Put on beautiful clothes, don't embarrass her family in front of her in-laws.Bai Baoxi couldn't help mocking her on the spot: "Even if you lose face, it's not because you lose face to my family." Then she was driven back to the room by Jiang.

Because of the separation, the second room of the Bai family entrusted Bai Xin to save a lot of money by picking red mushrooms last year, and the August Festival this year is also much better. Naturally, you have to wear better clothes. Even if you are poor and have no new clothes, you have to wear clean clothes before going out on the street—this is the only bit of face left for a poor family.

So Lin Da saw that the ox cart was full of Bai family members, more glamorous than usual.Bai Baoshu was hugged by Jiang Shi, he took a look at Lin Da, and immediately shouted happily: "Ah Xin!"

However, Lin Da was disgusted with the Bai family, and the speed of the carriage did not slow down at all, but sped up, causing Fu who was sitting in front of the ox cart to eat a mouthful of sand.She poohed a few times, and rushed away to curse at the elders who were far away: "Hurry up to reincarnate!..." After cursing, she was puzzled and stared at Bai Baoshu fiercely, Jiang Shi immediately blocked her back.

Bai Xin heard movement in the car, so he got out and asked Lin Da: "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just met a crazy woman, you sit down quickly."

Lin Da didn't feel the need to mention those people at all.Bai Xin hesitated for a while, and then said to him: "If the second bedroom of the Bai family comes to me for something, please tell me, that family will be fair to me."

Lin Da reluctantly said "um" to express his understanding.The Qin family admired Bai Xin quite a lot.None of them expected that after Bai Xin said this in the morning, when he came back in the evening, Jiang would find him.

As usual, the carriage was parked in the backyard of Tongji Inn, Lin Da unloaded the shaft and led the horses into the stable to graze and rest, while Bai Xin took out the chicken and duck cages, one of which contained two ducks for Mr. Zhang There is another boxing ceremony for Lao Tong.

Qin Shi and Lin Da went to the market to set up a stall, and Butcher Hu's pork shop gave them a fixed place, saving them from paying the patrol team's expenses, and getting a good stall.Bai Xin and the others are grateful to Butcher Hu, and they often give him a copy of the good things they get.

Old Tong knew from his clerk that Bai Xin was coming, so he personally came to lead the two children to find Mr. Zhang.Shu Xiu and Jie Li were ready, Bai Xin and Chang Liushui followed Lao Tong through the back door of the inn, walked along the small alley to another much wider alley, and knocked on a door at the end of the alley.

Someone inside the door shouted: "Students are not in class today!"

"Mr. Zhang! I'm looking for you."

It was quiet inside, and then there were footsteps approaching, and the door was opened, revealing a reserved young man's face, "Oh, Boss Tong, why are you here now? Just bring the children before class starts tomorrow."

Old Tong stepped back a little bit to let Bai Xin and Ah Shui behind him, and the two saluted obediently, saying: "Students pay homage to Mr. Zhang!"

Mr. Zhang was surprised to see the two children first, and then calmly accepted their greetings before saying, "Come in quickly!"

Old Tong picked up the things at his feet and went in first, and handed the wild duck and a Shuxiu to Mr. Zhang, "These are the children's Shuxiu, please accept them."

"Hey, it's too much, how can I want it!" Mr. Zhang looked a little cautious, "Boss Tong, take the duck back and make up for the child." Mr. Zhang's surname is Zhang Tong, and his name is Yizhi.His family is not rich, and he barely makes a living by teaching. When he saw two fat ducks, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.It's just that he was a bit upright, how could he take more than the number of bundles he had agreed to accept.

Lao Tong didn't say much to him, and threw the duck into the kitchen for him.Zhang Tong was dumbfounded.

"It's all right now, Mr. Zhang can take the children to the apprenticeship ceremony, and let's take a look at the place where we will study later." Lao Tong clapped his hands and smiled at Zhang Tong naturally.Bai Xin is sure that his style of dealing with things is definitely influenced by Lin Xun, which makes people itch with hatred but can't do anything about it.

Zhang Tong sighed helplessly, and thought: in the future, just take care of the two children more.Immediately, the matter was put aside, and the four of them entered Zhang's study together.

As soon as he entered the study room, Bai Xin's first feeling was: there are so many books!Bookshelves are placed on two walls, and books are piled up on them; the remaining two walls, one is the direction of the door, there is a low cabinet next to the left and right doors, and a pair of calligraphy and paintings are hung on the other wall, facing Zhang Tong’s desk. And two guest chairs, there are four or five low stools.

Zhang Tong asked Bai Xin and the others to sit, and he went out to make a pot of tea and made a cup for Lao Tong alone; after pouring two more cups, he sat upright in the middle.

Bai Xin and Ah Shui knelt down in front of Zhang Tong to pay homage to the teacher under Lao Tong's instructions, and then they each brought a cup of tea to the teacher to drink tea. After Zhang Tong drank two cups of tea, the work was done.

"Okay, now I'll take you to the school to have a look." Zhang Tong nodded to Bai Xinchang Liushui in satisfaction, stood up first, and let Old Tong go first.

On the wall of the study room is the main hall, and beyond that is a widened room used as a school.The upper part is the teacher's lecture, with its back against the white wall with the portraits of saints and sages; the lower part has fifteen seats in three rows and five rows. Desk writing.After the seats, there is still a blank space where nothing is placed.

"Earlier, there were fifteen students, but now there are only eight left, including Bai Xin and Chang Liushui." Zhang Tong told them the fact with a little shame, "The students with wealthier families all went to Yulin Academy in Shancheng .”

Bai Xin secretly cast a glance at Lao Tong, but saw that Lao Tong was not surprised at all, and only heard him comfort Mr. Zhang: "It's good to have fewer people. If they all leave, you can concentrate on teaching them two." what?"

Three people: "..."

Bai Xin wanted to ask Lin Xun very much at this moment, whether Lao Tong was like this by nature or was he led to spoil him.If Lin Xun knew about it, he would probably say, "Master, why do I need to teach/teach? After following me for ten years, if he still can't learn the essence, it's useless to follow me."

Then Old Tong asked who were the students, and Zhang Tong told Bai Xin the precautions for the two of them to come to class, and today's visit was over.After being sent out, Bai Xin glanced back and found that Zhang Tong was obviously relieved. It seems that this gentleman is not of high rank and is not difficult to get along with.

When they went out, they passed another alley leading to the inn, but Lao Tong didn't lead them there. Instead, they walked out of the alley where Mr. Zhang's house was located, and reached the street.

"Go this way, and you can see the West Market by turning a corner ahead, so I won't send you two there." Lao Tong pointed in the direction and said to Bai Xin, "Let Lin Da take you here tomorrow morning, remember If you can’t remember this location, come find me again.”

Bai Xin sincerely thanked him: "Thank you Uncle Tong!" Ah Shui also saluted him.

Old Tong rubbed Bai Xin's head, didn't say much, turned and went back to the inn, and disappeared in today's unusually crowded crowd in a moment.

The street is full of food, drink, entertainment and clothing items, small vendors appear in groups, and Liangzi girls who seldom come out chatter around the stalls they are interested in.The heads of the crowd are covered with red lanterns, which is very festive.

Ah Shui turned his eyes from side to side without blinking, very fresh.Bai Xin held him tightly to prevent the crowd from separating them.

Seeing Bai Baoli and Bai Baoxi inadvertently, Bai Xin brought Ah Shui forward in surprise, "Why are you two here?"

Bai Baoxi exclaimed in surprise: "Ah Xin! There is still a long flow of water!"

Bai Baoli was also very happy, "What a coincidence! My mother and the others are all at Hu's house, which is Ah Hua's fiancé's house. Baoxi couldn't stay still, so she took me out for a walk to see the excitement."

Ah Shui stood quietly on the side, listening to Bai Xin say: "Ah Shui and I are going to West Market, so I won't disturb you."

"Okay, if you have something to do, go quickly, Baoxi and I will go back after a while."

But Baoxi pulled Bai Xin aside and asked him secretly: "Ah Xin, you are in the elder's family, how does that family treat you? I heard that the family is not very good?"

Bai Xin chuckled, "It's nothing, Ah Shui is very good, his grandfather treated me just like him. The new clothes I'm wearing now are made for me!"

Hearing this, Baoxi took a special look up and down, and then praised Chang Liushui: "Your grandfather's needlework is really good!"

Ah Shui was a little puzzled, turned to Bai Xin, and replied, "Thank you!"

Bai Baoli pulled her younger sister Baoxi away, dumbfounded, and took her to go shopping elsewhere.Bai Xin and Ah Shui didn't stop either.When a few people were talking, they were facing a stall selling gadgets. The stall owner was none other than Shi Shanfeng and Shitou, father and son who moved to Dongxi Village.

Shi Shi stared at Bai Baoli in a daze. Seeing this, Shi Shanfeng, the father, directly covered his head with a sack, so as not to embarrass his stupid son.When Bai Xin noticed the abnormality, Shi Shanfeng taught his son behind his back, so he failed to find the father and son.

In the West Market, the business is particularly good today. When it comes to the New Year's Eve, many people who live frugally spend their money to buy chicken, duck and fish that they would never even think about.Qin and Linda sell wild chickens and ducks, which are especially popular.By then, Bai Xin and his wife would only have one pheasant and two wild ducks left.

Not long after, another one was sold, and Bai Xin proposed to give the rest to Butcher Hu, and the others had no objections.Butcher Hu sold several chickens and ducks to Bai Xin when Hu Langjun was first pregnant. As a result, Hu Langjun Zhao Fei saw that eating chickens and ducks all day was too expensive, so he lost his temper and refused to let him buy any more.So Butcher Hu had to find a way to get other supplements.He was very touched when he received it from Bai Xin, and gave Bai Xin a bucket of crayfish.Bai Xin and Lin Da stared at the crayfish that kept moving in the bucket at the same time, and the eyes of the two men shone with a dark green that only Liangzi can have.

The Qin family generously said that they would take the children to a restaurant for dinner, because today is not only the August Festival, but also Bai Xin's birthday, and the family went to the restaurant to celebrate.However, Bai Xin and Lin Da objected with one voice, saying that the crayfish should be dealt with quickly, otherwise they would be uneatable if they were left to die.

Both Qin Shi and Ah Shui were in a helpless mood at the moment.What the two of them didn't know was that Bai Xin just liked to eat this, and Lin Da was the real foodie.
