Chapter 63 Splendid
Compared with planning a priesthood for the God of Plague, Xie Lao Liu's problem is undoubtedly much simpler, and Wei Wu gave him full authority to deal with the rats on the spot.

After all, I have been in touch with the gods of the rats for a long time, so it would be unreasonable to deal with them in person.

After seeing off the joyous Xie Lao Liu, Wei Wu returned home in no hurry.

Youdao is three women in one show, and the three goddesses in the Water Mansion did not just put on a good show in just two days.

Wei Wu suffered from waist soreness, leg pain and headaches from them, and he yelled that he couldn't take it anymore.

Taking this opportunity, I happened to go for a stroll in the village.

……

A Stone Village Private School

After a busy day, as Wei Changsheng announced that school was over, the drowsy children burst into cheers, and suddenly regained their spirits, and the children, big and small, rushed out.

In an instant, there were only three children left in the slightly crowded private school, two boys and one girl.

Wei Tao slowly put down the book in his hand, lightly touched another child beside him, and reminded:
"Ergou, wake up, school is over..."

Er Gou opened his eyes in a daze, wiped the saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth into a stream, looked at the empty private school, and realized that get out of class was over, so he stretched calmly.

"Ah, is the sun going down? Time to get the rats out."

"Let's go, brother Xiaotao, go to work with me."

Immediately, Ergou was full of energy, and pulled Wei Tao to run outside. When he was about to go out, he didn't forget to turn his head and yell at the girl who stayed in the private school and refused to leave:

"Erya, school is over, why don't you leave? Do you want to stay with your husband for dinner?"

The girl known as Erya glared at Ergou angrily when she heard the words, she pursed her mouth and said nothing, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

"What's the matter, Erya, but do you have any questions to ask?"

Wei Changsheng did see a bit of trickery. There were quite a few children studying with him in private schools in the village, but most parents regarded him as a nursery to look after their children, and not many really studied seriously.

This girl named Erya was an exception. She studied hard and often asked for advice when she encountered something she didn't understand, so Wei Changsheng had a special impression of her.

He only pretended that Erya had another question to ask for advice, but as soon as he finished speaking, Erya's eyes were already filled with tears, and he couldn't hold back anymore and cried "Wow".

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Wei Changsheng wondered, "What's wrong with you? Sir, I didn't stop you from studying..."

Erya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and cried: "My mother said that reading can easily make my brain stupid, so let me hurry home and learn weaving and embroidery. But... Erya only wants to study, not weaving and embroidery."

Wei Changsheng fell silent when he heard the words. Of the many children in the village, Erya is the only one who is interested in learning, and now the only disciple who is willing to learn will also leave.

'So this is destiny? '

Wei Changsheng sighed in his heart, influenced by Erya's strong will, he originally planned to break the tradition.

She had already made up her mind to teach without distinction, to teach Erya as carefully as she would her own child, but she was hindered by her family.

He also knew that what happened to Arya was common in the world.

When a girl grows up, if she has a little ability in the family, the girl will not be allowed to show up in public, and the mother will only teach some skills of being a husband, teaching the child and running the house.

Wei Changsheng knew that he hadn't taken root yet, so speaking at this moment was not very effective, and he wanted to persuade him to stay, but he was powerless to dissuade him.

"Anything like this?"

At this time, a head popped out from between the two of them, and Ergou looked at Erya enviously.

"Erya, you are so lucky. You don't have to study anymore, unlike me. If Grandpa Shi hadn't appointed me, I wouldn't have to come here every day to suffer."

Erya glared at Ergou resentfully, and said angrily:
"What do you know? Everything is inferior. Only high-level studies are the only way out for poor people of my generation. The opportunity to follow Mr. and learn is very rare. If you don't seize the opportunity and study hard, don't think that everyone is like you. Same."

"If you continue like this, you will definitely regret it in the future."

As he spoke, he took out a small brocade purse from his pocket and put it on the podium.

"These days, the master has taught Er Ya carefully, and Er Ya has nothing to repay. The only thing that can be sold is the newly learned craft. Er Ya is not talented. This is the best one. I hope you don't dislike it. .”

Wei Changsheng took the small purse with a heavy heart, only to see two big characters embroidered crookedly and obliquely on the front of the purse—Master, when touching the purse, he felt that there were two characters on the reverse side. "Stone Village" in two big characters.

Seeing these four words, Wei Changsheng fell silent, only feeling heavy and slightly sore in his heart.

The word "stone village" was taken from "a piece of stone village", which was the word he taught on the first day after he came to the village and opened a private school. Obviously, Erya studied it very seriously and fully grasped the meaning.

The word "master" is another story, and his memory can't help but go back to not long ago.

Erya didn't rush to leave after school like today, but stayed to ask Mr. about the meaning.

"Sir, as the name suggests, it just refers to your age, sir. The elders are the first to preach and learn from the karma of the younger generations. Over time, Mr. has become the honorific title of a teacher."

He still remembers answering like that at that time, but Erya tilted her head and continued curiously.

"Then what is the honorific title of Mr.?"

"Of course it's my wife."

The scene that I blurted out at that time is vivid in my memory, Wei Changsheng tightly clenched the beautiful purse in his hand, a line of tears slid down from the corner of his eyes.

He silently put the purse into his pocket, stood up abruptly and walked towards the door.

"Go, take me to your house, I want to meet your parents."

Erya raised her drooping head abruptly when she heard the words, with a look of surprise on her face, she hurriedly followed.

"Wait for me, I'll go too..."

Ergou left Wei Tao behind and chased after him.

……

Wei Wu watched from the side and couldn't help nodding secretly. No matter how good this Wei Changsheng is, he still has the strength of character that a literati should have.If he can maintain this kind of strength of character and study the essence of the classics carefully, it is not impossible to become a great Confucian during the holidays.

And the little girl Erya is also pretty good, hardworking and willing to learn, knowing that knowledge can change fate, she is the best seedlings among this group of children.

As for Wei Tao, he doesn't need anyone's supervision, and his enthusiasm for reading and studying is higher than anyone else's, even more than his father.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is Er Gou, who has become the king of the children in the village. This kid, relying on his achievements in exterminating rats and recently relying on his own attention, makes troubles in the village all day long. If the dog jumps, if it is not properly disciplined, the road will be narrowed when it grows up.
