Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 135
Xiaonian looked at Li Hao with wide eyes. Although he could not read much, he already had a thirst for knowledge, so he also hoped that someone could teach him to read and write.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the two children, Li Hao softened his heart, smiled and waved to Xiaonian: "Come here."

Xiaonian took a look at Han Duyue, and walked up to Li Hao nervously: "Uncle Li."

"Your name is Xiaonian, is your name Han Dunian?" Li Hao rubbed Xiaonian's head with his hands.

Xiao Nian nodded vigorously: "Yes, my first name is Han Du Nian, but usually my mother and sister call me Xiao Nian directly, and Uncle Li can also call me Xiao Nian."

"Xiao Nian is so good, do you want me to teach you how to read?" Li Hao looked at Xiao Nian softly.

Xiaonian continued to nod vigorously: "Enenen, I really want to read and write."

"Then why do you want to read and write?" Li Hao continued to ask.

Xiaonian blinked and thought about it seriously. After a long while, he said with high spirits: "My sister said that reading and writing can make people very powerful, and they can become officials. In this way, I can protect the people I want to protect. people!"

"Besides this, are there other reasons?" Li Hao was not surprised by this answer, after all, most scholars chose to take the imperial examination for similar reasons.

Xiaonian concentrated on thinking again, and after another long time, he scratched his head and said: "Actually, I don't think so much now. My sister said before that even if you don't become an official, reading can cultivate a person's sentiment, but I don’t know what sentiment looks like now, so I don’t know how to cultivate it. In fact, I think reading may be a very interesting thing, just like I used to like to go to the mountains to catch grasshoppers.”

This answer made Li Hao and Han Duyue laugh at the same time, and Han Duyue couldn't laugh or cry in her heart. This kid is so honest, why is he telling the truth?

"What should you do if after following me to study, you find that reading is actually a very boring thing?" After laughing, Li Hao put away his smile slightly, and asked a little seriously.

When asked this question, Xiaonian frowned in distress, and shook his head after a while and said: "If I don't like this matter, I may not want to study."

This answer is really...too honest.

Han Duyue couldn't help covering her face. This kid is so honest, would Uncle Li be willing to teach him?
"Didn't you just say that you should study hard and protect the person you want to protect? Why do you say that now?" Li Hao couldn't help but stare, but he found it very interesting in his heart. Sure enough, children are the most frank and sincere people. , It's also fun to talk about.

Xiaonian pursed his lips and said seriously: "No, my sister said that although reading is a way to make yourself very powerful, but this world doesn't know this way. I don't like reading, so I can work hard. For other things, I can learn to do business with Brother Song, I can also be a carpenter like Grandpa Hu, and I can also learn to farm. As long as I can do one of them well, I can protect my mother and my sister. .”

These words made Li Hao raise his eyebrows in surprise, subconsciously looked at Han Duyue who was covering his face in shame, and the admiration for Han Duyue in his heart suddenly became stronger and stronger.

Before, Han Duyue once woke him up with a single word, making him see things that he hadn't seen for many years.

At that time, he thought that Han Duyue just said that by chance, but now after listening to Xiaonian's words, and thinking about Han Duyue's actions, Li Hao suddenly felt that although Han Duyue looked very young, he was genuine. cleverness.

"Uncle Li, what are you thinking? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Seeing that Li Hao didn't respond, Xiaonian felt a little uneasy. His words were all his own thoughts, and he didn't know if he was right or not.

Li Hao came back to his senses, rubbed Xiaonian's head and said, "You're right, are you really willing to learn and read with me?"

"Will Uncle Li teach me?" Xiaonian's eyes lit up.

Li Hao nodded seriously, then half-jokingly said: "But if I don't teach well, you are not allowed to blame me, and you are not allowed to tell about it."

"Uncle Li is so powerful, I'm sure he can teach him well," Han Duyue was immediately happy when she heard that Li Hao agreed. As a result, he was naturally happy, "Xiao Nian, hurry up and bring tea to Uncle Li."

Although it is not a serious apprenticeship, Li Hao can be regarded as Xiaonian's master from now on.

Xiaonian nodded with bright eyes, and tiptoed to carry the kettle. Li Hao was afraid that he would burn him, so he reached out and poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Xiaonian.

Xiaonian took the tea cup, shook it, and handed it to Li Hao with both hands: "Uncle Li, please drink tea."

"Hey," Li Hao took the tea with a smile, because the tea was still very hot, so he took a sip and put down the cup, "Then when do you want to start learning how to read with me?"

Xiaonian subconsciously looked back at Han Duyue, Han Duyue thought for a while, since this matter has been settled, it is not a private school, and there is no need to wait until autumn to start, so she asked: "Uncle Li , when are you usually free?"

"I don't have anything to do on weekdays, but I might be busy these days. It will take about four or five days, and then I will be free." Li Hao said after thinking for a while.

Han Duyue looked at Xiaonian and suggested, "Why don't we start after five days?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll come to Uncle Li's place in five days, okay?" Xiaonian went to see Li Hao again.

Li Hao had no objection, so he nodded. He lives in a very quiet place, and there is no one else at home, so it is suitable for Xiaonian to study and read: "When the time comes, you can come directly."

"I don't know what we need to prepare? We have pens, ink, paper and inkstones at home, and a few introductory books. Uncle Li, do we need to prepare some more materials?" Don't know if it's the same here.

Li Hao shook his head: "When the time comes, just let Xiaonian come over, and you don't need to bring pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books."

"That's really thanks to Uncle Li." Now Li Hao has become a really good person in Han Duyue's heart, and she sincerely thanked her several times before leaving Li Hao's house with Xiaonian.

Regardless of whether Li Hao's knowledge is profound or not, at least it is absolutely no problem for him to teach Xiaonian how to read.

Back home, Han Duyue first told Han Qingmei the good news: "Mother, Uncle Li has already agreed to teach Xiaonian how to read and write, so we don't have to send Xiaonian to the town so soon."

"Li Zheng is really a good person. Let's buy more vegetables when we grow up tomorrow. Please come and have a meal with Li Zheng." Han Qingmei was also very happy when she heard that. As a mother, she naturally didn't want her child to leave at such a young age. Home.

Han Duyue also thought so, and she had another idea, but she didn't know if it could be realized: "Mother, I think Uncle Li is really a good person, what do you think?"

"Lizheng is really a good person. I saw it when he helped our family register. In fact, it should have been a long time ago to invite him to our house for a meal, but I forgot later. It really shouldn't be." Han Qingmei didn't think about it for a while, but just nodded.

Han Duyue waited for Han Qingmei to finish her babbling, and then asked cautiously: "Mom, when I was helping Uncle Li boil water at his house, I found that there were no vegetables in his kitchen, and there were no vegetables on the stove. It was clean, and there was only half a bowl of coarse salt, a jar of pickled vegetables, and a small bag of rice. I think it is really hard for Uncle Li to live alone."

After finishing speaking, afraid that Han Qingmei would not believe it, she turned to look at Xiaonian again: "Xiaonian was with me at that time, right?"

"Yes, I think Uncle Li definitely doesn't know how to cook, and he doesn't usually cook." Xiaonian nodded.

What Han Duyue said was true. The stove in Li Hao's house looked too clean, and it was almost impossible to tell that anyone was using it. This was the main reason why Han Duyue had such thoughts.

As for her benefactor, Han Duyue naturally wanted to take more care of her.

Although Han Qingmei had been to Li Hao's house, but had never been in his kitchen, she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard it. She guessed that Li Hao's life was really not good by himself. The whole family is lively together.

"Hey, for a person like Lizheng, I didn't expect life to be like this..." Han Qingmei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Seeing that her words had successfully aroused Han Qingmei's sympathy, Han Duyue continued: "Mother, I think that I will bother Uncle Li almost every day in the future, what should we do, don't you think? "

"It's natural. Although it's not going to a private school, Li Zheng has to worry about it. I think it's better to prepare a Shu Xiu." Han Qingmei thought for a while and suggested this way.

Han Duyue saw that Han Qingmei didn't think about that at all according to her prompt, so she could only say bluntly: "Shu Xiu will definitely prepare, I was thinking that in the future, it is better to invite Uncle Li to come to our house for dinner so that everyone will be happy." It's so lively, Uncle Li won't be too lonely."

Saying that, Han Duyue asked Han Qingmei cautiously: "Mother, do you mind if Uncle Li comes to our house for dinner?"

On this matter, Li Hao might not agree, and Han Duyue was also worried that Han Qingmei would not agree. After all, Han Qingmei had reconciled with Jiang Shouren and was now single.

And Li Hao is also alone, if Li Hao always runs to his house, I really don't know what bad rumors will spread in the village. Although Han Duyue himself doesn't care about it, it is related to Han Qingmei after all. reputation, so we still have to see what she thinks.

Well, to be honest, in fact, the reason why Han Duyue did this is actually a little-known secret. She actually wanted to create an opportunity for Han Qingmei to get to know and get along with Li Hao.
