A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 18 Involving Innocents
After speaking for a while, Fourth Grandpa's tone was as gentle as ever. Although he was preaching, he spoke very slowly, giving people time to think and making it easy for them to accept.

"Yeah, thank you, Grandpa Fourth. I understand. I will know how to practice later," Zhao Dongsheng listened carefully and felt that the fog had been blown away. After listening, he quickly stood up and bowed to Grandpa Fourth to thank him.

In addition, he came to ask for advice twice today. These two times, Fourth Grandpa did not write, but just asked Zhao Dongsheng to copy the short fifty words twice.

However, he pointedly gave the best training plan and pointed out the way forward for Zhao Dongsheng.

Although Fourth Grandpa's calligraphy was just like what Fourth Grandpa said the first time, he was just getting started, but he used his decades of experience and wisdom to save Zhao Dongsheng from many detours.

"Well, it's all right, take this book and go to the table to drink herbal tea. I'll pack a few bags of prepared herbal tea for you." The fourth grandfather was very happy to help Zhao Dongsheng, watching the young man in front of him getting more and more like.

I handed him "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and went straight to hand out herbal tea to him.

Zhao Dongsheng was also very happy. He carefully picked up the book, then rushed to the table and poured herbal tea by himself. He drank while reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand.

"Here, you can make two times of the herbal tea in this bag. You can put this directly into a large white porcelain pot, then pour boiling water in and soak it. The paper inside the bag is a formula, suitable for clearing away heat and preventing summer heat. If you have a cold, just go and make some yourself after you use it."

Grandpa Fourth took out a plastic bag, which contained several small packages wrapped in oil paper. There was also a piece of paper inside the plastic bag.

As he spoke, he handed the bag to Zhao Dongsheng, and then took out a paper bag and handed it to him. The method looked quite heavy.

"And here are some pieces of letter paper. My nephew brought them to me to practice calligraphy. I can't use so many. If you need them for calligraphy practice now, you can take them back and use them. When the time comes and you don't have enough, come and get them from me. .”

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Fourth. I've accepted everything. I won't stay any longer. I have to sort out my homework when I get back and prepare for school tomorrow." Zhao Dongsheng accepted everything Grandpa Four gave him, not too much. rejection.

Courtesy reciprocated, he brought fruit to ask for advice, and the fourth grandfather happily accepted it, and then gave some practical things as a gift in return, and he also happily accepted it.The sophistication of human relations does not depend on the value of the gifts given by both parties, but the important thing is the sincerity.

While waiting for Zhao Dongsheng to return home with his things, he found Xiao Ji and Xiang Jun watching TV at his home.

This made him a little curious. They usually only get together when bathing and swimming. Last month, for some unknown reason, neither of them came to him to go swimming together. Zhao Dongsheng swam alone in the pond every day.

I don't know why it suddenly came here today.

"Hey, why did you two come here suddenly? You haven't come to swim with me during this time." Zhao Dongsheng came in, put away his things, and took out the bags of herbal tea separately.

He took out a package from the bag and opened it on the table. He then shook the white porcelain pot on the table. There was no water in it: "You guys sit down for a while, I'll boil a pot of water."

"What are you doing? You just went to buy medicine. Didn't your mother say you went to your fourth uncle's place?" Xiang Jun, who was watching TV, drove Zhao Dongsheng and took out a package like this when he came back. When I opened it, it was still a medicinal herb, and I couldn't help but become curious.

Xiang Jun and Fourth Grandpa are from the same family, and both have the surname Xiang, but they are not related. It’s just that their elders have always called him Fourth Uncle, so they have always called him that way.

"Why are you buying medicine? I don't know other things. Don't you know this licorice? This herbal tea can relieve summer heat." Zhao Dongsheng replied angrily. When he was a child in the countryside, he didn't have many snacks. Licorice is sweet and neutral. It can prevent colds and is not expensive.

So adults often buy a bundle and cut it into slices for children to eat. It’s sweet, and children can chew it for a long time if they take a small slice. Once they eat it often, they’ll get to know it.

"You're back. I've just boiled the water. Xiaoji and Xiaojun have just arrived. There's no boiled water left. I've just boiled the hot water. You can make a cup of tea. I'll go to the fields to get some food." Mom came out of the house with a pot of boiling water, gave the kettle to Zhao Dongsheng, asked him to greet his friends, and planned to go to the vegetable patch to get some vegetables to eat in the evening.

"Okay, I just got a few packs of mint and licorice tea from Grandpa Four. You can pour it yourself when you come back later." Zhao Dongsheng took the boiling water and put the licorice, mint and other kinds of tea in the opened oil paper with his other hand. Unknown herbs were poured into a white porcelain pot, and then a large pot of water was poured in.

"This needs to be soaked for a while. It will be just right when it is not boiled. Why did you two come together?" Zhao Dongsheng was a little curious. These two guys had been killing each other for so long and suddenly they came together. He didn't know they were there. What's up.

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Xiao Ji said angrily. For some reason, Zhao Dongsheng could hear some resentment.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhao Dongsheng was even more curious.

"It's not because of you. During the two months of vacation, you ran around the village to practice English in the morning, did your homework at home in the afternoon, ran again in the evening, and helped the elderly in the village with work every now and then. It was okay at first. But you are working non-stop every day, and the old people in the village are praising you everywhere. Who in the village doesn't know that you are working hard to make progress." Xiang Jun said in a snap, but what the hell was the resentment in his tone.

"Then what? They said let them talk, what does it have to do with you? You haven't finished your homework during the summer vacation, and you plan to ask me to accompany you to create miracles?"

"Shit, you have become someone else's child now. My mother tells me every day how the fourth child of the Zhao family studies at home. She confiscated all my game consoles and won't let me watch TV at home. I read books and do homework every day, and I have already finished my summer homework. I almost went crazy this month, and I just want to start school soon." Xiao Ji couldn't hold it back and started complaining.

"And you see your image is changing day by day. My mother has started asking me to run every day now, saying that I am fat." Xiang Jun just nodded aside at first, but later he couldn't help but complain too.

"Um, so you are being implicated by me? Isn't it because my grades are too bad? Your grades are so good. I'm afraid that when you go to college and I move bricks, you won't be able to have fun by then." Zhao Dongsheng said indeed He didn't expect that these two unlucky ghosts were implicated by him, so he quickly picked the ones he wanted to talk to, hoping to eliminate their grievances.

And to be honest, he would be very happy if he could lead these two young people to study together. Although their grades are good, they are not among the top, so if they can get into a better school in the college entrance examination, he will also be happy to see it. .
