Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 16 Cao Xiucai

In the early morning of the second day, Xie Fanxing walked to Cao Xiucai's house with a pot of tea seed oil weighing more than ten kilograms.

In the original memory, Cao Xiucai was not an aboriginal resident of Shangou Village, and settled in Shangou Village for some unknown reason, and lived here for more than ten years.

The villagers didn't know his name, but they only knew that he could read and write. After the villagers saw that he was knowledgeable, they all called him Cao Xiucai.

Cao Xiucai is also very weird. Although he is knowledgeable, the villagers want to ask him to teach the children in the village to read and write, but he just refuses to teach.

It is said that he has no qualifications and only teaches him to look at people, but the Xie family is an exception. Not only do they like to deal with their siblings, but they also like to teach them to read and write, and even talk to them. What he saw and heard, things from all over the world.

At this time, Xie Fanxing recalled that this Cao Xiucai was not simple, but also a person with a story.

"Uncle Cao, Uncle Cao." Xie Fanxing came to a thatched cottage and shouted loudly.

"It's Fanxing! You're here, come in quickly when it's cold outside." After a while, a disheveled, middle-aged man of no age came out of the thatched hut. He smiled and beckoned Xie Fanxing to come in.

"No, this is for you, Uncle Cao." Xie Fanxing entered the room, and she handed over a dozen catties of oil to Cao Xiucai.

Cao’s thatched cottage is the same as ordinary farmhouses. There are four rooms on the left and right of the main house, and the backyard is the backyard and kitchen, firewood room, latrine, and washing place.

However, in Xie Fanxing's memory, Cao Xiucai had no land or land, and did not go to work in the town. He rested at home every day. When Xie Fanxing came to Cao Xiucai's house every time, he was very popular every time he saw him Spicy, meat to eat every meal, or dry white rice, these days are leisurely and leisurely, so happy.

Xie Fanxing didn't think much about it before, but at this moment she thought of it, this Cao Xiucai is probably a worldly expert who came to live in hermits in their Shangou Village.

Xie Fanxing stared at Cao Xiucai's palm, and saw that his palm really had a thick layer of calluses from martial arts practice.

It seems that Cao Xiucai ate meat every day in the past. This is the prey he brought back from the mountain.

"What is this? I thought your parents just left. I'm afraid your siblings haven't recovered so quickly. They shouldn't come to me for a while. I didn't expect you to come here in less than a month. Now, after this incident, it seems that your mind has matured a lot." Cao Xiucai took the jar from Xie Fanxing, and he took a serious look at Xie Fanxing and said.

"Even if a person dies, some people's death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some people's death is lighter than a feather. But my father sacrificed his life for the country, and my mother gave birth to a younger brother to continue the blood, and their death is heavier than Mount Tai.

Although parents are dead, we living people have to continue to live. As the eldest sister, the younger siblings still need me to support them.Therefore, I will not be defeated easily, but will become stronger and stronger for my siblings, so that I can protect them and this family. "

"It's a good sentence. Some people's death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some people's death is lighter than a feather. After this incident, you girl has really grown up. What did you bring me?" Cao Xiucai heard When Xie Fanxing said this, he nodded in relief, but he didn't worry about the death of Xie Fanxing's parents, and asked what Xie Fanxing brought him today.

"Uncle Cao, look for yourself and see if you can guess it." Xie Fanxing winked at Cao Xiucai mysteriously and said.

"This, this is oil. How did you do it?" Cao Xiucai opened the small jar, and a fresh fragrance came out, with a greasy feeling, and it didn't look like lard, he said in surprise.

"Didn't you take an ancient book from Uncle Cao last time? The ancient book is very messy, not only about the customs and customs of various places, but also some strange people and stories.

I also saw the method of extracting oil from plants, so I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be done. "Before, Xie Fanxing did take an ancient book back from Cao Xiucai. This ancient book was found by Xie Fanxing from a corner of Cao Xiucai's house. She pushed the oil that can be extracted from plants directly to that ancient book. among.

"I don't know where I found that ancient book. It's been a while, and I haven't read it. You are lucky. You can find the method of extracting oil from plants. It should be your luck." Cao Cao The scholar thought of this, he nodded and said.

"I came here today to deliver oil to Uncle Cao, and to plead guilty to Uncle Cao."

"Go, I'm not old enough to ask you to help me. I'm still young. I'm sorry, what kind of crime, I'm not clear." Xie Fanxing wanted to help Cao Xiucai sit down, but Cao Xiucai waved his hand, He sat down by himself.

"I just lost the ancient book I took from you, and I can't find it." Xie Fanxing came to Cao Xiucai's house today, first to see Cao Xiucai, second to deliver oil, and third to tell Cao Xiucai Xiucai told him about the loss of the ancient books he had taken from him before.

In the future, if I know anything strange again, I can directly push it to that ancient book, saying that I learned it from that ancient book.

Anyway, only I have read that ancient book, not even Cao Xiucai, so I let myself say whatever I want.

"That's it! It's a small matter. It's okay. If you come today, you won't come back empty-handed. You can go to the room and have a look. If you need to read any books, you can take them back and read them yourself." Cao Xiucai waved his hand when he heard this. , it doesn't matter.

"Uncle Cao, you made this qin yourself. You can't master the qin." Xie Fanxing came to Cao Xiucai's study and saw a brand new guqin in the middle. She thought Cao Xiucai could only read literature Hyphenation.

"Uncle Cao, I am proficient in poetry, etiquette, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, medical star divination, and [-] martial arts. If you think about it, you don't need to mention the old things! From now on, if you brothers and sisters want to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can do it." Taught."

"I don't have time to learn these things. Knowing how to read and write is enough. Oh! By the way, there are so many children in Cao Bo's village, why do you only like us and teach us?" Xie Fanxing Thinking of this, she asked a little strangely.

"I see that you sisters and brothers are pleasing to the eye, so I can teach you if you want to teach! There are so many reasons, it's better to be a human being as you like."

When Xie Fanxing heard this, she smiled and didn't answer any more. Anyway, in her eyes, Cao Xiucai is now a scapegoat.

She casually found two books in Cao Xiucai's study, and left.

In the past, since she learned to read and write with Cao Xiucai, every time she came to Cao Xiucai's place, she would find one or two books to take home and read.

If he didn't bring it today, so as not to arouse Cao Xiucai's suspicion, Xie Fanxing simply picked two copies at random and left.
