Chapter 58
After Zhenlongzhong's incident, when Xiao Xian returned to Gecun the next day, he looked up at the pool, and the surface of the pool was the same as before, and there was no evil dragon lurking under the pool.

After Zhu Shijun returned home, he took out the inkstone and writing brush that had been used for many years from the boxes brought by the two at home, and wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets.

After standing on tiptoe for a while, Xiao Xian was a little more satisfied with her grandfather, the calligraphy was really well written, and the old man went again with the couplet in black and red A visit to the Qian family is an apology.Xiaoxian looked at Zhu Shijun's brush calligraphy, only to realize that her grandfather was really well-versed in all eighteen martial arts skills, and his brush calligraphy was also good.

The Qian family who had eaten the "golden water" seemed to be dumbfounded, and they didn't say anything, let alone the matter of losing money.The couplet was added by Qian Duoduo at the door of his house the next day, and it became Gecun's most magnificent couplet in [-].

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there is no New Year's Eve in the Chinese calendar in 29, and [-] is New Year's Eve.The New Year’s Eve dinner in the mountain village was more lively than that in the city. The village chief was the host and invited the grandparents of various families to eat. Adults and children gathered around the table.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, after lighting a string of five hundred firecrackers from Sangouzi, the hens in the small mountain village were so frightened by the sound of firecrackers that they stopped laying eggs on the first day of the new year. The son was also scolded by his old mother for several days.

Early the next morning, Xiaoxian heard the rustling on the window sill, opened the window and saw that there was a warm winter rain in the mountains, and after that rain, the white pear tree behind Zhu's house also shed flowers , It was only one or two nights, hundreds of small green pears hung all over the branches, and it was still cold, and the wintering birds hadn't had time to watch this scene.On the contrary, it attracted quite a few villagers from Ge Village to watch. Those old villagers who had lived in the small mountain village for generations all kept their eyes open and murmured in amazement, saying that the acre of land behind the Zhu family was a treasured land of geomantic omen, what happened to it? Everything is growing well, and everyone is looking forward to a good harvest of rice planted by Zhu Shijun next year next to the pear tree.

At the beginning of the year, Aunt Lian was busy visiting relatives and friends, so she forgot about the other few acres of land that seemed to need more care.As soon as the pears bore fruit, Aunt Lian remembered Xiao Xian's three acres of land at the head of the village.After the rain to moisten the soil, it is time to turn over the soil and add some straw ash for spring plowing next year.When I arrived at the village, I saw that the several acres of alfalfa had started to wither, the green stems were rotting in the ground, and the grass roots and leaves had already started to ferment.The red brick-colored soil is covered by layers of grass leaves that turn from green to black, and it smells a sweet and sour grassy smell.

Looking at the soil in the field, there is no need to dig the soil anymore. The roots of the alfalfa planted by Xiaoxian's hands are much more developed than those of ordinary alfalfa. The roots are like natural agricultural hoes.In the three acres of land, there are countless alfalfa grasses, with intertwined roots and flowers blooming all winter. The roots are all deeply penetrated into the soil, and the hardened land has been pierced with thousands of holes.As soon as the rain fell, it easily seeped into the ground, and the color of the soil also changed from brick red to black red. Even a ignorant person like Sister Lian knew that the fertility of the fields was different from last year.

It was still early in the spring plowing, and Zhu Shijun taught Xiaoxian his homework. After returning from Guiyang, the old man not only recovered, but also became more open-minded.He no longer sticks to teaching Xiao Xian the knowledge in those textbooks, but talks to her about history, geography, agriculture, science, and all kinds of things, which also makes Xiao Xian understand the outside world better.She knew that Ge Village is just a small mountain village in the southwest of China. The only way to go out is by wheeled carts and trains. There are many other countries outside of China, and greater than the sea is the ocean.

Under Zhu Shijun's progressive education, Xiaoxian and the sugarcane seedlings in the space grew up like absorbent sponges.The childishness on her face gradually diminished, and when she listened to Zhu Shijun's words, she was still able to offer a few words of her own.In just a few months, Xiao Xian knew more than she had lived in the past ten years.

Occasionally, Zhu Shijun would play a piece of English news for Xiao Xian to listen to. After listening to it more times, Xiao Xian could probably guess what was in the news. After she officially went to school, she wrote with her classmates.Zhu Shijun wanted Xiaoxian to have a higher starting point than other children, but school life still had to be experienced.

In February, when the spring plowing was about to begin, Zhu Shijun and Xiao Xian had just finished telling a story about a volcanic island in the east of China—Hawaii. He said the idea that had been brewing for several months, "Xiaoxian, grandpa and the village chief discussed it. How about having his family's Xiaohai take you to the temple at the foot of the opposite mountain to attend classes when the spring begins?" Actually According to Zhu Shijun's plan, they would wait until the second half of the year to send Xiaoxian there, but now the situation has changed. Zhu Shijun plans to go up the mountain with the village chief to survey the situation in the spring, and to set up a rice test field first. If the situation is good If so, we will bring the whole village to develop agriculture together. This year, Gecun must get rid of the title of "poor village".

"Go to the temple to attend classes? Go with Naihai?" Bibihai is the grandson of the village chief. His parents both work in Shantou. Xiaohai is half a year older than her, but now he can't even wash his nose.Thinking about it, Xiao Xian was absolutely unhappy.She also doesn't want to sit with a group of children in class, isn't grandpa her best teacher, "Grandpa, I don't want to go to school, I will go up the mountain with you to farm," Xiaoxian coquettishly said, how could she have time to go? While studying, she was also distracted looking for iron to feed the "sugar cane seedlings", and she had to plant fragrant rice, but she didn't have time to mix with those children.

"Children have to go to school when they are old enough to be able to get along with others," Zhu Shijun heard Mrs. Lian praise Xiaoxian earlier for being sensible, washing clothes and combing her hair, and she is much more sensible than before. The old man lived together for a long time, and lost his childlike nature, so he decided to send her to school in a hurry. There should always be children's companions in childhood, and what it looks like to follow adults all day long.

Xiaoxian saw that acting like a baby didn't work, so she took a bench and sat in the corner, neither crying nor making noise, just sat quietly and protested.

"If you don't go to study, I won't let you plant the few acres of land at the head of the village, and your pots of rice seeds hidden under the bed will also be confiscated," Zhu Shijun threatened Xiaoxian with a fierce face.

As soon as she heard that the rice seeds were going to be confiscated, Xiao Xian immediately waved the white flag and surrendered: "Grandpa, I'll go, but I'll just go to school by myself, and I don't need to be accompanied by Snot Hai." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, Xiao Hai He looks dark and dull, if you walk up a mountain road with him, you won't be suffocated to death.
