Seeing his son jumping up and down in front of him, Lin Sanzhu felt depressed. Without books, how could his son go to a clan school to study?
I originally thought that Gouzi could at least stay in the family school for ten days and a half. By then, the child would not want to go. Once the books were returned, nothing would happen to him.
But now, I'm afraid it's hard to hang out even for a day.
How can I read the table without books?
He had asked the clan leader just now that a handwritten copy of the "Three Character Classic" would cost at least more than 200 liters. Now he couldn't even come up with 200 liters, not to mention more than 200 liters.
Seeing the sad look on Cheap Daddy's face, Lin Yuanqiu certainly knew what was going on. He had just heard about the money it would cost to buy books. Two hundred coins was not a small amount of money. Cheap Daddy wanted to earn it, so It would take time, and he couldn't push his cheap dad into a hurry. Otherwise, if someone gave up the job, his studies would be ruined.
"Dad, my son can read a book with his deskmate first, and then he can buy it for me after he earns enough money."
Lin Yuanqiu is really not in a hurry. In modern society, most children can memorize the catchy "Three Character Classic", as well as "Disciple Rules", "Hundred Family Surnames", and "Thousand Character Classic", which many children can also basically memorize. , and him, not to mention, Lin Yuanqiu remembered that when he was just learning to speak, his parents bought him the drawing books of these books and taught him to read them.
Besides, it’s not like he’s really illiterate. Although the books these days are all in traditional Chinese, it’s not difficult for him.
Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu really didn't worry about whether there were books or not.
Oops, my dog is still considerate.
Lin Sanzhu picked up his good son and said, "Yes, yes, just do what Gouzi said. Let's borrow the book from our deskmate and read it first. When daddy earns money in the future, he can buy new books for Gouzi!"
Haha, his dog is so smart, he solved the problem easily.
At this time, Lin Sanzhu no longer had any worries. He happily raised his son, let him ride on his neck, and rode away.
As for earning money, how could it be possible? Lin Sanzhu shook his head. It was more than two hundred yuan, but he didn't have the ability.
When the father and son returned home, except Chun Yanchuncao, Lin Yuanhuai and Lin Yuanbai were at home, and everyone else went to dig radishes in the field.
After letting the children stay at home, Lin Sanzhu picked up the burden and went out.
Lin Sanzhu didn't dare not go to the fields, otherwise his father's smoking pole would not be vegetarian.
…
Today it was Da Fang's turn to look at the persimmons. Lin Yuanhuai held a long pole and from time to time drove away the birds that were about to steal food. Lin Yuanbai, on the other hand, went around the persimmon tree and searched for "caught fish".
Just before going to the fields, Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu picked all the ripe persimmons and locked them in the room. They planned to pick them up and sell them in the town early tomorrow morning.
So at this moment, there are only some fruits left on the persimmon tree that are not yet red and a little astringent.
The three of them walked back and forth several times, but couldn't see any ripe fruit to start with, so they had no choice but to give up.
The picked persimmons were placed in Old Lin and Mrs. Wu's room. The back window was opened a crack, and Lin Yuanbai stood on tiptoes to look in.
Unfortunately, the room was too dark and I couldn't see anything.
Seeing that the other party looked like he wanted to crawl through the window, Lin Yuanqiu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his trouser legs, pulling him down.
This guy forgot the taste of fried meat with bamboo sticks so quickly.
Xu Shi also thought about being beaten a few days ago. Lin Yuanbai touched his butt, a little embarrassed.
However, the low mood did not last long. As if he thought of something, the little guy's eyes immediately lit up and he patted Lin Yuanqiu on the back, "Brother Gouzi, when you become a high official in the future, you must give it to Fourth Brother." Buy a lot of delicious food!"
Lin Yuanqiu: "..."
…
Chapter 5 Ethnic Studies Begins
After a few days, all the persimmons on the tree in the backyard were finally sold.
Wu took out a camphor wood box about one foot long and poured all the copper plates inside onto the table. Then she took a piece of fine cloth and strung every hundred copper plates into a string. There were twelve strings in total, plus eighty pieces. Two pieces scattered.
This is one thousand two hundred and eighty-two liters, dear, nearly 300 liters more than last year.
Wu's smile turned into flowers.
Others are also very happy. The family has more income, and it will definitely improve a lot in the coming days.
Especially the little ones, for them, these strings of copper coins are equivalent to a table full of chicken, duck, and fish, which the kids have been looking forward to eating for a long time.
"Mom, how many days are left until the Chinese New Year?" Lin Yuanbai swallowed and couldn't help asking Mrs. Liu.
He has almost forgotten what the big chicken drumsticks were like on New Year's Eve last year.
"There are still more than two months." Ms. Liu lowered her head and mended the clothes in her hands.
How long is more than two months? Lin Yuanbai quickly stretched out his little hand, ready to count. The result was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety. After all ten fingers were broken, the others could not be counted. .
Turning around, he saw his little cousin next to him and said hurriedly: "Brother Gouzi, I can lend you my fingers."
You are the little brother who is a bitch.
"No!" Lin Yuanqiu turned around and handed him the back directly.
Following the old man's wishes, Mrs. Wu took out the bunch of eighty-two cents, handed it to Mrs. Zhou and said, "Tomorrow you and Mrs. Liu will go to the town and buy back the cotton and fabrics that Dazhu and the others use to make their coats. "
Seeing that the weather is about to get cold, we have to make new cotton-padded jackets for the three brothers.
Feng curled her lips and always only let her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law go to town. She had never been there once. Her mother-in-law was really partial.
However, when she thought that her husband would also make new cotton-padded jackets this time, Feng had no complaints at all.
Lin Sanzhu looked at the copper plates piled on the table, smiled at Mrs. Wu and said, "Mom, in two days the dog will go to the clan school. The patio of our ancestral hall can let in the wind. On snowy days, it will definitely be It's very cold, mother, why don't you make a new coat for the dog, so as not to freeze him."
Lin Sanzhu felt that no matter how long his son's enthusiasm for studying lasted, it would be a good idea to use this as an excuse to get Gouzi a new cotton-padded jacket to wear.
Mrs. Wu was too lazy to take care of her. There were so many children in the house, and if they were cooked for one or not for another, wouldn't it cause discord in the family? As a nurse, she always had to level the water bowl.
Besides, she didn't let Gouzi go to school. Who could blame her if she insisted on sending him to suffer the cold.
Old man Lin took a puff of dry tobacco. The smell of inferior tobacco made him cough several times.
Thinking of his third son, Old Man Lin looked at his little grandson. He had thin arms and legs and was a bit thin. Thinking of the high fever not long ago, he cleared his throat and said to Mrs. Wu, "Give it to the eldest daughter-in-law." With some money, the cotton-padded jackets of several children at home are all clumps, so let’s buy some new cotton and wadding them again.”
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family, Liu family, Feng family, and the three sisters-in-law were all happy. In this world, mothers love their children. Thinking of their children being able to wear warm clothes this winter, of course they happy.
"Thank you, grandma!" Lin Yuanqiu said thank you. He must be happy to be able to wear warmer clothes. Now, he no longer has to worry about freezing to death this winter.
Old Man Lin and Mrs. Wu were both stunned. After worrying about their juniors for so many years, it was the first time for the couple to hear words of gratitude. It felt a bit strange, and they felt quite... warm.
Yes, it's ironing.
Although they are parents and take care of the children at home, it is natural for them to do so, and they feel very happy when they receive a thank you from their children.
Old Lintou lowered his head and looked at his youngest grandson again. He remembered that the little grandson loved to cry very much and would howl for a long time. Thinking of this, Old Lintou suddenly remembered that he had not heard from his little grandson for some time. There was a cry.
How long has it been? By the way, it seems to be after that high fever.
After recovering from the high fever, my grandson seemed to have grown up a lot and became more sensible.
Lao Lintou couldn't help but think, no wonder the elders said, "Pugua and loofah hang long, and the little baby's teeth stand in the wind."
A naughty child will grow up if he is beaten and beaten.
…
Soon it was time for ethnic studies to start.
At just nine o'clock, Lin Yuanqiu woke up.
Today is his first day of school, so he can't be late.
Yesterday, Mrs. Feng helped him sew the book bag, and now it was placed next to Lin Yuanqiu's pillow, using the extra fabric she had made for Lin Sanzhu's cotton-padded jacket.
Winter in the north has come early, and the kang has already started to be burned at home. It is still warm to the touch at this time.
The west side of the village is close to the mountain, and the trees on the mountain are lush and green. As long as you work hard, you can guarantee the firewood for your family all year round.
Chunyan and Chuncao were sleeping next to each other, and the three brothers and sisters shared a quilt. They were all still children, so they didn't pay so much attention.
Lin Yuanqiu sat up, put on his clothes, and then got off the ground softly.
After all the work in the fields was finished, many families in the village switched to eating two meals a day, which saved a lot of food.
The same goes for the Lin family. The first meal won't be eaten until late, so right now, the whole yard is quiet, and everyone hasn't gotten up yet.
After washing up, Lin Yuanqiu took out the bamboo tube for drinking water, scooped water from the clay pot and filled it up. Reading and reading later would definitely require a lot of saliva, so Liang Baikai must be prepared.
Also, Lin Yuanqiu touched the empty book bag and felt that in fact, there was no need to carry this bag without a single book on it.
However, without carrying it, it seems like something is missing.
You have to let people know at a glance that this is a child who studies.
Yes, he is a kid who studies. From today on, he, Lin Yuanqiu, will be a little scholar in Da Jing Dynasty.
You must study hard and make progress every day, come on!
In the east room, Old Lin Touzheng was talking to Mrs. Wu. The older people felt young, and the couple had woken up early.
Hearing the sound of the door latch being pushed outside the house, Old Man Lin wondered who got up so early in the morning.
"You forgot, today is the day when clan school starts, so Lao San and Gouzi should be outside." Wu replied.
Old man Lin also remembered that today is October 26th.
However, Old Man Lin couldn't believe it. The third child got up so early?
He looked at the window paper and saw that it was still dark outside.
Old man Lin thought to himself that if his grandson went to school, his laziness would be cured.
If this was normal, Lao San would still be lying on the kang dreaming.
However, Old Man Lin's happiness did not last long, because the sound of knocking the door latch continued outside, and seemed to be mixed with the sound of jumping.
I opened the window and took a look. Well, I saw a small figure jumping up at the courtyard door. The second door latch was too high and couldn't be reached.
As for the second door latch, it is the one that is pressed on the top of the door latch. It is usually only plugged in at night when sleeping, which is regarded as a second level of insurance.
Old Lin stood up quickly, pulled on his cloth shoes and walked out of the room.
I thought the third child had changed his temper, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
"Grandpa." Lin Yuanqiu called from afar.
"Hey, Yuanqiu got up so early."
