In order to save the boat that capsized with Han Chunlin, Mo Ziwan didn't even wait until the next day. After class that night, she took Han Chunlin out and said she was going to catch fireflies.
As soon as the two of them ran out the door, Yu Silian shouted from behind: "Run slowly!"
Mo Ziwan raised her voice and replied: "I know." The answer was good, but she didn't show any signs of slowness in her steps.
The two ran out of the yard, and Yu Silian asked Han Shuxian, "Why do you let them go out to play so late?"
Han Shuxian said: "Someone wants to save the friendship!"
Yu Silian was a little confused when she heard this. The two of them never quarreled, "Why did they quarrel?"
Han Shuxian: "There was no quarrel!"
Yu Silian didn't understand even more, "Then what's going on with them?"
Han Shuxian wrapped her little daughter in her hand, took it and teased her for a while before telling her that she was going to take Mo Ziwan to the county college to study, and then she told her that Mo Ziwan was going to the school to supervise Han Chunlin's studies. come out.
After hearing this, Yu Silian burst out laughing and said, "Our silly son doesn't need to be coaxed at all!"
Han Shuxian looked at the two people who had disappeared outside and said, "I'm going to see Uncle Mo and tell him about taking Wanwan to the academy."
Yu Silian stretched out her hand to take Han Qiulu from Han Shuxian's arms, "Go quickly, go early and come back early, we have to get up early tomorrow morning!"
Han Shuxian came to Mo's house alone. After arriving at Mo's house, he greeted Song Nanzhi and said, "Auntie, you are busy with your business. I will go see Uncle Mo and have a chat with him."
Song Nanzhi was peeling the corn under the oil lamp in the front room. After listening to Han Chunlin's words, he said: "Okay, there is a bench in the house. You can come in and sit down."
When Han Shuxian entered the back room, Mo Tingyu shouted: "Shuxian is here, come and sit down."
"I'm here to see Uncle Mo." A stool was placed next to the bed. After Han Shuxian walked over, he sat beside the bed. After sitting down, he asked, "How have Uncle Mo been feeling these days?"
Mo Tingyu said: "It's much better, but I still can't leave! Please come and see me again!"
Han Shuxian: "Uncle Mo and I are so polite."
After listening to Han Shuxian's words, Mo Tingyu put a smile on his face and joked: "I have bad luck in this life. My son and daughter-in-law all left before me. But I am also lucky, otherwise how would I have met?" You and Mrs. Chunlin are such good people!" What was left unsaid was that there is such a smart, sensible and filial granddaughter like Wan Wan.
Han Shuxian said: "Everyone has misfortunes and good fortunes. After a disaster, there must be great blessings. Uncle Mo and Aunt Song's blessings are yet to come."
Mo Tingyu smiled and said, "I don't ask for any great blessings. I just hope that Wanwan will grow up healthily."
Han Shuxian was originally going to talk about Mo Ziwan, but seeing that he started talking about it first, he followed the conversation and said, "This child Wanwan is not only smart, but also has a good nature. If she is a boy, she will definitely be able to earn money for you, Uncle Mo, in the future." The champion comes back."
Han Shuxian had said before that Mo Ziwan was smart, but he had never been compared to the number one scholar in the exam. This was the first time that Mo Tingyu heard Han Shuxian say that his granddaughter was so smart that she could even earn the top prize.
He didn't know how smart the number one scholar was, but he knew that there were so many scholars in the world, but there was only one number one scholar in every imperial examination. This showed how smart the number one scholar was! My granddaughter turns out to be so smart. No wonder she learned to read and write at such a young age, and she memorized those medicines after hearing Dr. Liu talk about them only once!
He was surprised at how smart his granddaughter was, but he was lucky that she was a girl, otherwise he would not have had such a smart and well-behaved granddaughter.
"This is not to thank you for your usual teachings to him. Both her mother and I are illiterate, our eyes are black and we don't understand anything. If it weren't for you, he would be like me and her mother. If she hadn't studied and read with you, she wouldn't have understood that much." Mo Tingyu sincerely thanked the Han family. Han Shuxian taught her and his son together, and Chunlin regarded her as half a daughter. , she is never short of delicious food, and two sets of clothes are made for her every year. Even other children in the village who have a father and a mother have never seen two sets of clothes added every year.
Han Shuxian waved his hand and said, "Uncle Mo, you're welcome. Wan Wan is well-behaved and lovable. If not me, who wouldn't say that Wan Wan is well-behaved and obedient?" Then he got down to business and said, "I came today because I wanted to talk to Uncle Mo. Discuss Wan Wan’s affairs.”
Mo Tingyu thought Mo Ziwan was doing something behind his back and her mother's back again? He hurriedly asked: "What? You said?"
Han Shuxian continued, "Wanwan is smart, but also has big ideas. At the age of four, she dared to secretly go to the county to take over the book copying job."
This is what Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi are worried about. When Mo Tingyu heard him talking about this, he sighed, "It's my fault too. I haven't made much money in these years. Wanwan is very caring and doesn't want to see me." I was tired outside with her, so I thought of taking over book copying work to earn money, so that we two old people can have an easier life in the future."
Han Shuxian did not deny it. Although Wanwan was young and courageous, he was also measured. That was why he went to the county to take over the book copying work. However, he still comforted him and said: "Uncle Mo has worked very hard. Besides, Wanwan Uncle Mo should be happy if she has such intentions." Then he talked about the purpose of his visit, "Uncle Mo and Aunt Song should be happy because Wan Wan has such intentions, but it is precisely because she has intentions that I am worried about her!"
Mo Tingyu was a little confused by Han Shuxian's words, "What's going on?"
Han Shuxian continued, "If Wanwan were older, with her filial piety towards Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo and her intelligence, Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo would definitely be the happiest people in this village, even financially. There will no longer be any shortage. But now that Wanwan is still young, she has repeatedly urged herself to grow up, hoping to take over the burden on the shoulders of Uncle Mo and Aunt Song."
When it comes to this, Mo Tingyu still doesn't understand, "It's me and her milk that are dragging her down!"
Mo Tingyu blamed herself again for why she had to fall. If she hadn't fallen, no matter how difficult it was in this house, the burden would not have fallen on her shoulders. But now, the old woman felt dizzy. The criminal is just like himself, unable to do anything! She is the only one who can support this house!
Han Shuxian was afraid that they would be under psychological pressure, so he added: "Uncle Mo, don't think too much, we are all a family, you raised her, it is natural that she will be responsible for providing for you in old age.
Besides, if Wanwan had been born in someone else's family, she would not have had the freedom and happiness with Uncle Mo. "Generally, most farmers' families have more boys than girls. Even if they have a bowl of water, they will not pamper their flowers like the Mo family does. Although the rich families live a better life, they have too many dogmas, especially as they get older. Growth means no freedom at all.
The main reason I came here is to discuss with you. In two months, Chunlin will go to the academy with me to study. I want to take Wanwan with me to the academy.
After a pause, he continued slowly, "Wanwan is smart, but other children in the village are also smart. Even my Chunlin is not stupid. But compared with Wanwan, I don't need to say anything more. You can see He comes out and listens to whatever Wanwan says all day long, and the other children are even less comparable to Wanwan. Being smart is one thing, but now he has big ideas, a lot of thoughts, and he is also very courageous.
I believe that there are other children in the village who went to the county to play, but they just wanted to play. Children have a good nature, but Wanwan is different. She left with careful consideration and premeditation. People like her are afraid of us. It's hard for Feng to find one. "
Then he continued: "Wanwan has big ideas, and she also has many ideas. Not only did she copy books, she also thought of ways to go out to the mountains to collect herbs and sell them to make money. As she gets older, I am afraid her ideas will become more and more complicated. Much, I am worried that she is young, has many ideas, and is easily confused, so I thought that when Chunlin goes to school in the second half of the year, I would take her with me and take her to the county to study together. Read more and read more, Firstly, it can gain knowledge, and secondly, it can help her understand things and distinguish right from wrong. It can also help her understand what can be done and what cannot be done!"
The day after Mo Ziyuan followed Liu Yuan to identify the herbal medicine, she told Mrs. Yu!
How could Mo Tingyu expect so much? He held Han Shuxian's hand gratefully and said, "Shuxian, thank you!" and then said, "Her and I don't understand anything, and we can't think of this. Thank you very much for your kindness." Wan Wan has so many plans! From now on, Wan Wan will be your and Chunlin’s daughter, and she will definitely be filial to you when she grows up."
Seeing that Mo Tingyu agreed, Han Shuxian smiled politely and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for Wanwan to be filial to me."
Mo Tingyu was grateful and then asked: "But the school doesn't accept girls?" He never thought that he would have to be trained to go to the school. In Mo Tingyu's heart, as long as it was for the good of his granddaughter, he would suffer no matter what. He was willing to be tired. After a while, his legs could walk, and he could go to the mountains to dig up medicinal materials and sell them. In addition to paying off the debt, he would also leave some money for her to study.
Han Shuxian said: "Wan Wan is still young, so when you enter the school, you just play with me, not really studying, so you don't have to pay the tuition fee even if you enter the school." He directly said that there is no need to pay the tuition fee, so as not to worry about it again. Let the two elders think more.
"Wanwan has an uncle like you, who is better than her biological father!" When she said this, thinking of her son who died early, a sourness surged in her heart, and she said with some choking: "I don't have much ability either. , I can’t thank you properly even if I want to, but I will definitely keep your kindness in my heart. Whenever you encounter something in the future and I can be of use to you, just say it and I will definitely help you without saying a word. .”
Han Shuxian: "Uncle Mo's words are enough."
Then the two talked for a while, and then Han Shuxian went back.
Song Nanzhi got up and took Han Shuxian to the entrance of the yard when he met Mo Ziwan who was returning from catching fireflies, "Uncle Han!"
Han Shuxian asked: "Did you catch the fireflies?"
Mo Ziwan lifted up the basket made of pumpkin leaves and said, "I caught it!" The leaf basket was made of foxtail grass. In order to prevent the fireflies from escaping, the top of the basket was covered with a leaf of suitable size.
Looking at the tightly sealed leaf basket that Mo Ziyuan lifted up, a faint green light flickered in and out, and one glance revealed that there should be quite a lot inside!
