Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 187
Ever since Ban Xia chased her away that day, she has been entangled by Su Youwen.

Of course, those chopped moso bamboos cannot be thrown in the local area directly, and they are all dragged back to the workshop one by one.

"Fifth Uncle, drag the bamboo home first before we talk."

"This, I heard about it in other places before, and I can't remember it, let me think about it."

"Learning is endless, the masters are among the people, ha ha."

"Uncle Fifth..."

Ban Xia really underestimated Su Youwen's ability to stalk people, he would keep grinding Ban Xia and asking, where did you hear that "Thousands of blows are still strong, let you wind from east to west", Ban Xia Just listen to nonsense.

Unexpectedly, he still persevered, asking where he heard it, and what kind of person he was, and almost... did not go on a "study tour" again.

Today is different from the past, Su Youwen is already married, but he is so out of tune all day long, if Su Qian knew that it was because Ban Xia let him go out, he might even strangle her to death.

Thinking of Su Qian's ferocious face rushing towards him, Ban Xia trembled all over.

Touching his nose, when Su Youwen came to ask again.

Ban Xia raised her head with a thoughtful expression on her face, then patted her head and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, I remembered!"

Su Youwen was so excited that he didn't know how to let go of his hands and feet, "Say it quickly."

Ban Xia was still not sure, coughing and coughing twice: "I seem to have heard that it was said by a gentleman who runs a school in a village school and enlightens children. As for where I heard it from, I don't quite remember. There are two sentences."

Su Youwen was a little bit lost while being excited, looking at Banxia with burning eyes: "Why can't you remember, think about it!"

Ban Xia didn't think about it until the end, so he could only spread his hands and said helplessly: "Although I don't remember where he is from, I probably heard rumors when I was out doing business, but this gentleman is also very powerful, you see He was able to compose such good poems just to enlighten others, if someone asked him why he didn’t come to the academy, what do you think he would say?”

Su Youwen still hadn't gotten rid of the regret, he moved his lips and said, "How?"

Ban Xia coughed and coughed twice, and didn't care about his expression, just said: "He said, there are many good gentlemen in this big academy, there are not many if there are more of him, and there are not many if there is one less, but in the village, the enlightened children, But he needs to be there.”

"Well said!" Su Youwen clapped his hands excitedly, which startled Banxia.

"How can you bend your waist for five buckets of rice? There are so many people who try to catch fame, but few take care of their hearts and minds, so..." Su Youwen began to draw conclusions.

It was the first time that Banxia listened to it and thought it was very good. She wanted to plug her ears when he said this before, but this time it was different. She thought about Yao's way of crying often, and Su Youwen would not find some more Things to do, it's not just a matter of not having income, this time I provoked such a sour scholar, in case it is a scoundrel next time, they will always have a hard time seeing it.

The most effective way is to find something for him to do.

Thinking of his recent pestering, he can just take advantage of it. Others may not believe these nonsense, but Su Youwen is different, and if he listens to it with all his heart, he will not believe what others say. agree.

Ban Xia suddenly felt that the uncles of the Su family were all alike, but they were different.

It would be lucky to be able to live like my fifth uncle for the rest of my life.

Seeing that Su Youwen had almost finished speaking, Banxia said: "Uncle Wu, you are right, we don't know who that gentleman is and where he is now, but you can do the same thing as him Ah, it's like not seeing each other, but we have been friends for a long time, isn't this also a matter of meeting Daya? Where in life do we not meet again. "

Su Youwen suddenly stopped and stared at Banxia.

This eyeball doesn't even have the idea of ​​turning it, which makes Banxia's heart start to feel a little hairy.

His face turned dry, but Su Youwen burst out laughing, "It's such a good life! That's exactly what you said! Ban Xia, you are transparent. If you don't care about the things in the workshop, we can talk about it." When you go to one place, you will smell of money all day long, which is not good for the girl's family."

Is this convincing yourself?
Ban Xia chuckled dryly, didn't delve into this issue, just looked at Su Youwen adoringly: "Uncle Wu, who knows outside, you taught your elder brother all his knowledge, you see he is a scholar, Naturally, no one outside would dare to look down on you..."

"Just after I said a word to you, you fell down again! I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, so it doesn't matter what people outside think of me! Besides, I don't accept people like that. That's because there is no fate, how can such a thing be forced?!" Su Youwen said to himself, looking at Banxia with a look of hatred.

Ban Xia only had a wry smile, but she didn't expose it. She was afraid that Su Youwen would be disliked by outsiders, but look at his thoughts!Still made a mistake.

Knowing his temperament, Ban Xia smiled and said: "Then fifth uncle, since you have made such a decision, it is also a blessing for the people of the ten miles and eight villages. Naturally, you should discuss such a big matter with your family first, and then invite you Uncle Zheng came over to make a decision, and the last thing to do is how to handle it, such as where to choose the house, what kind of people to recruit, and what to teach, this kind of thing always needs to be thought out before it can be acted..."

Su Youwen simply didn't want to pay attention to Banxia anymore. Hearing her slander gave her a headache and snorted: "The great thing is because you mess up the temper of a mother-in-law like you. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Why do you need such a thing?" How many twists and turns!"

Ban Xia smiled slyly, knowing that you are like this, luckily he didn't talk about Shu Xiu just now, otherwise he waved his hand and didn't accept anything, wouldn't his painstaking efforts be in vain.

Anyway, Su Youwen is definitely not a person who can manage vulgar things. He probably never thought about these things.

If he really does well, Yao shi can be counted on in the future, and maybe he can live some sweet little days.

Ban Xia said: "Then fifth uncle, where do you want this school to be?"

"This one……"

Ban Xia thought about it, it's not that there is no ancestral hall in the village, it's just that the place is very dark and humid, and the surnames are not so harmonious, so this place was ruled out, and the rest of the built houses were not ready-made.

In this way, it seems a bit hasty.

In the end, Su Youwen decided on his own, "It's easy, find a place and build a few bamboo houses by yourself, it's bright and cool!"

Ban Xia thought about it for a while, and agreed, and the place was easy to find.

She still needs to discuss with Su Youli and Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Su Qian also needs to talk, otherwise she will not know how to show her teeth and claws by then.

In this way, Su Youwen prepared the teaching needs in a lively manner.

When Ban Xia approached Su Youli, they had just negotiated. The soybean planting project that Qiu Daming and the others promoted went well, and I don't know if it was the reason why Zhang Liu went to help.

As soon as they left, Banxia couldn't wait to tell her parents about this matter clearly, and naturally she didn't miss her own thoughts.

"With grandma's temperament, Fifth Aunt has a sad face all day long... Even a person like that can deceive him that day, what will happen in the future... For a place as big as our new house, it is more than enough to build a few bamboo houses, At least I can stand up for a while... If this thing is really done well, then Fifth Aunt might not be able to follow Fifth Uncle and live in the school, which is better than studying at home all day." Ban Xia said one by one. say clearly.

Mrs. Li agreed with it, and said: "It's good if you think like this, and it's not in vain that your fifth aunt loves you for nothing, and your fifth uncle is also good, just... stay a little longer, and you can have such a skill in the future , and someone is willing to listen to him, at least there is no need to worry about it, this is the best."

But Su Youli directly suggested: "It is also the blessing that these children have now. Yuan Guang was also taught by your fifth uncle back then, otherwise it would be so easy to learn well. Since it is over there, there is no need to build a few tile houses. How much money, it is not as good as we pay this money, it is also considered a merit."

Li Shi didn't refute either.

Ban Xia shook her head, disapproving: "Father! You know how to be a good person, these tile-roofed houses don't have much money, and Gu Ya'er and I are squeezed into the same room now—"

Su Youli just chuckled, "That new house will be available soon. How many rooms do you want to live in in such a big courtyard?"

But she really enjoys the attitude of Ban Xia's little daughter.

Then Ban Xia said again: "It's not about money. I don't cherish what I get easily. As the saying goes, we should build the school directly. We don't care about what happens to the school in the future? No matter, if everyone is offended, what will others say? Even if we don’t lose the money, we have earned it through hard work, and we can’t be blamed if we fail.”

Su Youli obviously didn't think so at first, but only thought about it.

Ban Xia smiled and said: "Father, since Fifth Uncle can lead everyone to read and write, at the beginning he wants to build a bamboo house, so let's go and help. This kind of heart is important. There are bamboos in the village, so naturally there will be many people who help. , and it will be built soon. If the school needs to build tile-roofed houses or other things, let everyone participate in this way, so that others will think that this is a matter of the village and not our family. If you can work in our workshop, it is equivalent to working for nothing, and if we directly allocate the wages to the school, it is considered a merit? It is not only our family that needs to accumulate virtue."

It has always been a matter of dedication before being cared about. It is really inappropriate to prepare everything at the beginning.

Su Youli is not a pedantic person, so he thought it through quickly, "It's better that you are thoughtful, we have already left the place, and the school can't be all studying at that time. Dad knows the stonemason, so I will erect a piece of merit by the side of the school." Monument, the child can study for half a day and do some work, and he will be famous in the future, and it will be good to think about it for many years."
