The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 51 Noah's Mr.

"Call work." Wang Fengzhen said, working with Yao Yu in the past few months, earning a lot of money, and doing things for only one morning, after returning home at noon, Liang Shi and Luo Shi both prepared meals and waited. Use it to go to the room to rest for a while, and then wait for dinner, and there is no need to wash the clothes at home.

Luo Shi has asked Wang Fengzhen recently, so she tries to please her every day. Wang Fengzhen also knows the reason. Luo Shi also wants to send their family's Li Xiaohai to the village school. To be honest, she really wants to send Li Xiaohai to study. , but just for the sake of Roche's all kinds of nonsense in the past, he wanted to torment her.

Since Aunt Wu was able to get two taels of silver a month, she straightened her back when she spoke at home, and her sons and daughter-in-law were even more consistent. They used to say that they wanted to separate, but now they don't want to separate if they are killed. The family is harmonious. very.

Yao Yu locked the store, and took the two of them back to Shuangshui Village. Before leaving, he went to the vegetable market to buy a chicken, and was going to make soup tonight. Mr. Ji is a bit thin, and he must have not eaten delicious food for a long time. .

Yao Yu went home and cleaned up the chicken, then dug out the fungus that he picked up on the mountain before, and stewed the chicken.Seeing the fungus, Yao Yu felt that time had changed. At this time last year, it was good to be able to eat a full meal. This year, I can't say how rich I am, but I can always eat whatever I want.

When Nuoer came back, she went to talk with Mr. Ji. Yao Yu couldn't help but find it funny. Mr. Ji must be a little lonely, otherwise, he wouldn't have so much to talk to a child.After stewing the soup, Yao Yu chose to make white rice as the staple food, but because Mr. Ji was a senior, Yao Yu made the rice soft and easy to eat.

When Yao Yu brought the soup to the main room, he heard Mr. Ji say, "If you want to read the books of Confucius, the first step is to get rid of your inner prejudices, let go of some conclusions in your mind, and don't listen to what others say. To understand, you have to see, read, and understand for yourself.”

Yao Yu couldn't help being taken aback, it seems that this old man Ji is really a scholar, Nuo'er looked excited, "My mother said so too."

Yao Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled awkwardly. When did she say this, Yao Yu hurried to the kitchen to serve dinner. When he came back, he saw Mr. Ji staring at him and nodding repeatedly.

"Come to eat." Yao Yu said.

Mr. Ji stroked his beard, "I finally know why Nuo'er is so smart, so she has a good mother."

It was the first time for Yao Yu to be praised by an ancient old man, and he felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you for your compliment."

"I'm also telling the truth." Mr. Ji and Nuo'er sat at the table.

Nuo'er obviously didn't listen enough. Mr. Ji told him a lot just now, and he felt that it was more powerful than what the master said, "Can you tell me about reading the Analects again, how to get into the room?"

Yao Yu cleared his throat, "There is a saying that you don't talk when you eat, you don't talk when you sleep, so you have to wait for Grandpa to eat before you can continue asking questions, understand?"

Nuo'er stuck out her tongue, he just wanted to understand this knowledge too much, Mr. Ji nodded, so that the children educated by such tutors would definitely not be too bad.

Yao Yu was worried that Mr. Ji would suffer from hunger if he didn't eat on time. In fact, there were so many demands, Nuoer quickly ate the meal and waited for Mr. Ji to finish.

But old man Ji has developed the habit of eating slowly all his life, so Nuo'er had to wait on the sidelines, and finally when old man Ji finished eating, Nuo'er took old man Ji to his room, and his mother bought him an oil lamp, It was getting dark too soon, he had to light the oil lamp, and write down everything Mr. Ji said, his mother said, a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

Yao Yu shook her head with a smile, Nuo'er had found a teacher, but seeing how Old Master Ji looked like, she wasn't worried that Nuo'er would be led astray.

When Yao Yu was sleeping, the lights in Nuoer's room were still on, so Yao Yu had to knock on the door, "Nuoer, it's getting late, and Grandpa Ji still needs to rest. Can I ask for advice tomorrow?"

Only then did Nuoer realize that the time was very late, so she quickly apologized, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I forgot the time for a while."

Mr. Ji shook his head, "Don't talk about you, even I forgot the time." To be honest, how long has it been since I haven't had such a happy conversation with someone in a long time, don't look at Nuo'er who doesn't know much , who is not very old, but has quick thinking and high comprehension, which really moved him to accept Nuo'er as his disciple.

Old Master Ji was only going to stay here for three days before leaving, but Nuo'er was reluctant and insisted on him staying, Yao Yu also said, "You can stay, if you don't mind, we can hire you as Nuo'er Mr. Ji, ten taels of silver a month is enough." To be honest, although Yao Yu didn't know who old man Ji was, but based on his knowledge, Yao Yu felt that paying ten taels of silver a month was not enough.

Of course, Mr. Ji knows the importance of ten taels of silver to a village family. He wanted to leave because he was afraid of disturbing the family. He didn't expect that he would keep him so sincerely. Another point is that Mr. Ji really likes Nuoer, a child. "Okay, but I also agreed in advance that I don't need money, as long as I can eat enough every day."

As long as Mr. Ji can stay, Yao Yu and Nuoer will not agree. Nuoer was very happy and shouted, "Mr. Ji."

Mr. Ji sighed a little, but he didn't expect that he still accepted Nuo'er as his disciple, "You should call me Grandpa Ji." He said, he took out a pen from his package, "Since I accepted you as my disciple, this one The pen is your teacher's gift."

Yao Yu didn't know a brush, but Nuo'er could tell the difference after half a year's study. This brush was much better than what his parents bought. Nuo'er held the brush and said with a straight face, "Grandpa Ji, don't worry. I will definitely use this money to do the most useful things in the world.”

Nuo'er's eyes were filled with joy, Yao Yu wanted to laugh, such a young child still knows the world, but old man Ji's clothes were wet with tears, he kept saying, "Good boy, good boy."

Yao Yu said, well, she doesn't understand the idea of ​​that set of literati.

Ever since Mr. Ji accepted Nuoer as his disciple, the teaching method has become much stricter than the previous few days. For example, Nuoer's handwriting has to be practiced again. Mr. Ji will not let Nuoer imitate others' handwriting deliberately, but practice It belongs to her own pen, so Nuoer's use of rice paper is much useless, but Yao Yu is very happy, and bought ten dollars of rice paper for Nuoer in one go.

Although Mr. Ji is very strict, Nuo'er has a lot of fun studying. Every day after school, he will rush back to Shuangshui Village as soon as possible, and his physique has improved because of this.

Yao Yu felt more at ease by doing her own thing. Wang Fengzhen sat in Yao Yu's bullock cart, "I don't know how your Nuoer learned it, but Master Li often praised your Nuoer." After sending him to the village school, after Xiao Lizi came back, the whole family always asked him what he learned in the village school.A few days ago, she finally paid for Li Xiaohai to be sent to the village school, but neither Xiao Lizi nor Li Xiaohai seemed to be suitable for studying.

Hearing this, Yao Yu said, "Everyone has different interests and hobbies, that kid Nuoer likes to read."

Aunt Wu said, "My grandchildren, I didn't expect them to study at ease. One or two are like bandits."

It's normal for children to be playful, "Perhaps Aunt Wu sent them to the village school, so they will restrain their temperament a lot."

"That makes sense. My younger brother's child, Li Xiaohai, is such a gangster. It's only been a few days since he was sent to the village school, so he's much better-behaved." Wang Fengzhen said, although he didn't learn much useful knowledge, but his temper was restrained. Not a lot.

Aunt Wu kept this in mind. She now has three grandchildren. If possible, she would like to send all three children to the village school.

"However, it still depends on the children. If you are willing to go to the village school, it is good. If you don't want to go, sending them there will be counterproductive." Yao Yu said.

Aunt Wu nodded, "I'll discuss it with them when I go back today." The wages of these few months are enough for the three children to live for several years, and she has been earning this money all the time.

After this matter was finished, Wang Fengzhen mentioned another matter, "By the way, have you heard about the Yang family?"

Yao Yu shook her head. She didn't have much contact with the villagers of Shuangshui Village, except for Wang Fengzhen, Aunt Wu, Lizheng's family, and the Xie family who had no contact.Wang Fengzhen is different from Aunt Wu, there are many women in the family, and where there are women, there will be more gossip and gossip.

Aunt Wu had heard about it, and she said in a regretful tone, "I have heard that, from now on, only Yang Lan and Yang Gui will be left in the Yang family."

When Yao Yu heard this, her heart twitched, "Where are their parents?"

"Their father just passed away last year, and as a result, their mother fell ill and left with her yesterday." Wang Fengzhen obviously sympathized with the Yang family siblings, "My sister is only nine years old, and my brother is only three or four years old."

"That's right, it's said that the two siblings didn't even have the money to bury their mother, and the key point is that a bunch of relatives are here to make trouble." When she said this, Aunt Wu was a little bit aggrieved.

"That's right, the two sisters are pitiful, and they still want to take that house away." Wang Fengzhen also despises such behavior, but what can they do, they can't help the two brothers, after all, every family has them. This is a difficult scripture.

Yao Yu asked, "Then where is the Yang family?"

"It's also at the east end of the village. Apart from you, they are the furthest residents of Shuangshui Village." Aunt Wu said.

Yao Yu nodded, and seemed to have a little impression of that family. After sending Wang Fengzhen and Aunt Wu home, she took a closer look at the Yang family on the way back.

No matter how far away, Yao Yu heard the commotion inside, and then watched the two children being pushed out the door, "This house is not yours in the first place, and now that your mother is dead, our Yang family will naturally take care of it." This house is taken back, you guys hurry up!"
