Su Ruyi's water selling business is in full swing.
People are very emotional. Everyone gathered around a water stall, and those who came behind them couldn't help but gather around them. Then they were pushed by their emotions and spent a penny to buy water. After drinking it themselves, it was not enough, so they rushed to push themselves. Everyone around me uses that beautiful bowl together.
At the end of the day, Su Ruyi went into the town several times to pick up water, and there was always someone waiting when she came back.
The old woman next to her only sold enough water to be counted on the palm of her hand.
By the afternoon, the old woman's face had turned green, and the corners of her mouth almost dropped to her chin. She was mumbling all the time. Although she couldn't hear clearly what she was saying, she was probably cursing very unpleasantly.
It seemed that it was almost time. Although the sun was still quite high, most of the villagers who came to the town for the market were already on their way home.
Su Ruyi sold out the last two buckets of water, put away the two bowls, and picked up the empty bucket.
"Auntie, I'll go back then."
aunt:"……"
Why is this woman so hateful! This is murderous and heart-breaking!
…
Su Ruyi was thinking about asking Hu Langzhong for half a month's leave.
Now she can do all the homework by herself, that is, practice acupuncture and memorize the meridian diagram. She can complete these tasks without a master by her side. She is not a child and does not need a master to watch over her.
By selling water every day, you can study in your free time.
Just as he was about to go find Hu Langzhong, he came first, took out a book from his sleeve and threw it on the table casually.
"Master?"
Su Ruyi said.
Hu Langzhong looked serious, "Has your family's business matter been resolved?"
"Not yet, it will take some time."
Hu Langzhong nodded, shook his head again, and sighed in his heart, how could anyone be such a master or a disciple?
Sure enough, those ten taels of silver were not easy to earn. I was thinking of ways to learn more skills from the master, while I was thinking of ways to put more things into my apprentice's mind.
Hu Langzhong: "From today on, I will teach you a few words every day."
Mrs. Zhang was busy in the courtyard and was overjoyed when she heard this. Mr. Hu wants to teach you the word "Rushui"? This is a great thing!
He hurriedly ran to bring water to Mr. Hu, and told the children at home to play elsewhere. Their family knew etiquette, but Mr. Hu only preached to one person, and the others gathered around to eavesdrop and learn. That was not sensible.
"Ruyi, you have to study hard. Reading is a big skill! Don't worry about family matters, I'll do it!"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were bright, she told her daughter-in-law, and then went to the kitchen.
Su Ruyi looked at the old book on the table. She had never been exposed to books before coming to this world, but she knew from the plaques of the shops on the street that the words here were still the same as those in her previous life. Although some words were deformed, But even guessing and confusion are inseparable.
The cover of this old book has the words "Pulse Magazine" written on it, which is related to the acupuncture she learned.
She picked up the book and opened it carefully. As expected, she could understand eighty-nine points of the words inside.
"Sit down. I will teach you ten words today. You have to read and write them by yourself. I will take a test every day."
"Thank you, Uncle Hu!"
Su Ruyi said, not daring to expose the fact that she could actually read.
Hu Langzhong's idea is very simple. As a grown man, he can't keep chasing after a woman to teach, especially after the snow falls, when everyone is idle in the house, how can he not study during such a good time?
Then teach her to read, and when her master is away, she can study by herself.
It's not easy to read, but Su Ruyi is smart and should learn faster. In short, learn as much as you can.
He took the Pulse Magazine and flipped through the first page.
"Today I will teach you the first ten words in this book."
The first ten words of this book are not simple. If Su Ruyi really didn't have the foundation, she would probably learn to cry.
Fortunately, she has it, and she recognizes all ten words.
Even so, she still read it over and over again after Hu Langzhong, and listened carefully to Hu Langzhong's explanation of the meaning of the words - an old man taught him so seriously, and it was basic respect for her to be serious.
Of course, there are also gains. The same word appears in different cultural fields and has its own interpretation specific to that field. The words are the same, but the meanings are subtly different.
As the light dimmed in the back, Mrs. Zhang quickly lit two lamps and placed them on the table, fearing that the two of them could not see clearly.
At other times, she would be reluctant to part with the lamp oil.
Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu came back before it got completely dark. They were still in a bad mood, and Da Lang who followed them was not as active as before.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw two people reading in the yard with lights on. I quickly calmed down my emotions and went about my own things quietly.
Hu Langzhong stood up and looked at the sky.
"You should be busy with your family affairs these days. When you have free time, review your homework. I just taught you the ten words. I will come over to test you tomorrow evening."
As he was about to leave, Mrs. Zhang rushed out of the kitchen: "Hu Langzhong, take these back and eat them!"
There were several fried eggs in the small basin in her hand, which were golden and fragrant.
It’s a luxury for farmers to boil an egg and eat it, let alone a fried egg!
Hu Langzhong was a little flattered and hurriedly declined: "It's too much..."
"Take it!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but put the basin into Hu Langzhong's arms.
The serious expression on Hu Langzhong's face swept away, and he became a little embarrassed: "Well...then put a cover on me?"
It would be bad if you go out and meet villagers.
Over there, Liu Cuier hurriedly brought the gauze over, folded it and put it on top of the basin.
Su Ruyi sent Hu Langzhong away, and when she saw her mother-in-law's beaming face, she couldn't help but joke: "Mom, when did you become so generous? You have to light two lamps to light the lamp, and fry the eggs in oil?"
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at her: "Don't be such a bastard, Mr. Hu is a good master. He will teach you medical skills and also teach you how to read! When your man was studying in the past, there was never a gentleman who got up early and ran into the house in the dark to teach him teach!"
Su Ruyi: "It cost ten taels of silver!"
Zhang: "I thought about it, you are right, those ten taels of silver should be spent!"
She turned to Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu and said, "From now on, you will all be respectful to me, Mr. Hu, and don't feel sorry for the things you give me!"
Liu Cuier said hurriedly: "Don't dare, mother, we know."
When I feel distressed when giving something to others, I feel it silently in my heart. I also know that it is what I should give, and I never dare to show my distress and reluctance on my face.
Li Baozhu nodded: "Mom, I know too."
"Eat first, or take stock first?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at Su Ruyi.
"Let's settle the accounts first."
Just counting money doesn’t take much time.
Today the egg pancake is still in a miserable state, relying on the golden pancake to support itself and getting back less than four hundred coins.
"Now is a busy time when there are many people. If we wait for a few days, there will be fewer people going to the town. If it weren't for that old man, we could get back five or six hundred coins a day!"
Liu Cuier gritted her teeth.
