Escape from the desert

Chapter 114 The white horse is not a chicken

Jiang Yan suppressed her inner impulse and told herself repeatedly that she was just an illiterate rural widow. Under everyone's fiery gaze, Jiang Yan quickly rolled the paper balls into small balls, and then rubbed the small bean I brought the small backpack and threw it in.

"There are four paper balls, two words are the draw, three words are not drawn, every four people reach out and draw at the same time."

The small back basket is very densely woven, and the paper balls thrown in can only be seen from the mouth of the basket. In this way, two out of every four people will be eliminated. There are more than [-] people in this yard, and in the end it is almost her. The number of people you want.

Everyone looked at Aunt Jiang suspiciously, and they knew about casting lots, but they didn't know it could be used in recruiting. After listening, everyone felt reasonable, and they were eager to try.

According to Jiang Yan's method, all the winning bidders were quickly selected, and they all smiled brightly, as if they had won some kind of grand prize. There were a total of [-] people, and Jiang Yan accepted them all.

Those who didn't win the bid were all depressed and lamented that their fate was not good, but they were all drawn by themselves, so they could only pat the stinky hand that drew the paper ball sadly and left the little one. hospital.

Because there is Jiang Wen, a scholar, he will do the registration of the name. Lin Fangzi, who is on the side, looks at him enviously. He has heard Jiang Wen's name and admires them very much.

Looking at Jiang Wen's beautiful and neat words, he sincerely sighed that he had read in the academy, and the words he wrote were good-looking, not like his own writing, not as good-looking as a dog's crawling.

The afternoon was very busy. Soon, Lin Bei and Erbi came back from school. They came back with Lin Dong in an ox cart. The two hurried home and saw that they were helping Xiaodou feed the ducks in the yard. Jiang Wen.

"Brother Wen! Why are you here?"

"Big cousin!"

Lin Bei and Jiang Erbi spoke almost at the same time, one with surprise and one with panic.

Lin Bei frowned, looked at the mother not far away, and asked anxiously, "Mother, why is he here?"

Jiang Yan reassured him: "Your eldest cousin said you want to pay me back, so I won't come to work at our house. You should wash your hands, and you are ready to finish your meal. Today, I made something delicious for you. "

When making fish at noon, she deliberately kept some, thinking of giving Lin Bei and the others a taste at night.

Lin Bei nodded and followed Jiang Erbi to wash his hands. He wanted to ask too many questions in his heart, but when he saw his mother's smile, she seemed to like the big cousin very much, and he couldn't say more.

Mother used to like the big cousin very much, even now she likes them, but if they are not obedient, will mother change back to the way she used to be? Thinking of this, Lin Bei had to hold back his displeasure and just study hard. , even more powerful than the big cousin, the mother will definitely like her the most!

After dinner, all the Lin family members sat around in the main room. Everyone held a piece of paper. Lin Bei held Jiang Wen's handwritten thousand-character script and began to teach the whole family to read it word by word. Teach everyone to write.

This is the time for the Lin family to study and study every day. After dinner, everyone has to study with Lin Bei for an hour, but Lin Xi has not returned from duty in the village today.

Lin Bei was a little nervous. He went to the private school for a short time. What he learned in the private school every day, he and Erbi came back to teach everyone. He was responsible for teaching everyone to read and write, and Erbi was responsible for teaching everyone to write.

He likes this feeling very much. When he thinks of teaching what he has learned to his family, even to his mother, he is very serious in the private school, and he can't wait to learn more every day.

But there is a big cousin here today, his literature is much better than him, I don't know if he will laugh at him for not teaching well... Thinking of this, his little face couldn't help but get hot.

"The bird and the phoenix are in the bamboo, and the white horse is in the food court."

After he finished reading it, everyone followed it. This is what I learned today.

Jiang Yan also shook her head and read it again, but she was thinking about the renovation of the shop in the town.

Although Lin Nan passed the age of enlightenment, he still had a great enthusiasm for reading. He asked curiously, "What kind of bird is a bird and phoenix? Do we know each other? What kind of chicken is a white chicken? A plucked chicken? "

Lin Bei was stuck in the same place, and his thoughts returned to the picture of the teacher teaching, but he couldn't remember the meaning of this sentence. The husband didn't say it was a bird and a phoenix!Is it bird droppings?White chicken, any white chicken?Did you remember it wrong?
He carefully looked at these two words again. He looked at them, and the more he looked at them, the more unfamiliar they became, and the more he looked at them, the more they didn't feel like the words in his memory.

By the end, he couldn't even recognize it.

Jiang Erbi was also confused. He bit his finger and hesitated for a long time before he said: "I don't remember either, it should be a kind of bird that can only be caught in the bamboo, and the white chicken should have white feathers. The chickens can only be caught on the chicken farm."

Lin Bei nodded immediately, thinking that it was almost the same.

Lin Nan got the answer and licked his lips: "I don't know if this white chicken is delicious."

Jiang Wen, who recited thousands of words backwards: "..."

He stood behind Jiang Yan, and some of his cousins ​​would have learned the wrong direction in the future. He considered it again and again and said:
"Little aunt, this sentence should be Mingfeng in the bamboo, and the white horse is in the food court. That should be a song, not a bird. It is about the happy cry of the phoenix in the bamboo forest, and the white horse is not a chicken. It's the little white horse eating grass food freely on the pasture."

Lin Bei and Erbi immediately blushed when they heard it, especially Lin Bei, who squeezed the copybook uneasily, but he didn't expect to read the hyphens wrong!He is sorry that his mother spent so much money to send him to a private school!
Jiang Yan glanced at him, then looked down at the contents of the manuscript: "This manuscript was copied by you, and the word for bird is written on it. The fourth child did not read it wrong. I recognize it, I didn't recite the book from heaven."

"Even the understanding of this word has to be learned a lot, this horse can't be eaten." In this era, horses are more expensive than people.

He was suddenly praised by Jiang Yan, and Lin Bei blushed immediately, wishing he could hide his whole face in the book.

Jiang Wen blushed with embarrassment. He tilted his head to look at the words in the book. He did make a mistake.
"I'm sorry little aunt, I will pay attention to it in the future." He thought for a while and continued: "I will copy some other enlightenment books for a few cousins ​​in the future, little aunt does not have to waste money to buy it in the town, and will never do it again. Copy wrong!"

Jiang Yan looked at him with obvious exploration in her eyes.

Jiang Wen's expression is very serious, and the little furry boy who doesn't know the word Lin Bei doesn't think it's inappropriate to be a gentleman here, without any contempt or contempt, but with an expression of admiration.

She opened her mouth and said, "If that's the case, consider it as your repayment. After dinner every day, it's time to study at home. If you want, you can teach everyone to read and write. I'll give it to you according to the monthly money from the town's gentleman."

Jiang Wen wanted to say no. He was very happy to teach his cousins ​​to read and write. After all, he was able to go to the academy to study, half of which was due to his aunt, but he didn't want the money. He was a weak scholar, and it was really difficult to pay off his debts. Aunt's money.

After pursing his lips, he nodded and said, "Little aunt, I will. I will do my best to teach my cousins ​​what I have learned."
