After seeing Han Shuxian off, Song Nanzhi took Mo Ziwan's hand and walked into the house. As he walked, he said, "Let your master make a paper lantern for you tomorrow morning. It will be convenient for you to carry it and play with it at night."
"Okay!" This is a good idea. After replying, he said: "Three of them, as well as brother Chunlin and sister Lulu."
After returning to the house, Song Nanzhi stopped peeling the corns. While Mo Ziyuan came into the house to talk to Mo Tingyu, Song Nanzhi packed up the corns still in the house, then got up and went to the kitchen to put the corns in the pot. The hot water that had been kept warm was poured out to prepare Mo Ziwan for washing.
After Mo Ziyuan washed up and went to bed, Song Nanzhi helped Mo Tingyu wipe his body and helped clean up the whole family. Then it was his turn to wash away the dust and dirt stained by the day's work. Only go to bed to rest when you are tired.
The couple sat on the bedside, and Mo Tingyu said first: "Just now, Shuxian told me that Chunlin will go to school in the second half of the year. He said that he would take Wanwan to the school and let her follow Chunlin. Read together.”
Although Song Nanzhi was peeling her buds outside, she was sitting close to the door, thinking that when Mo Ziwan came back, she would be able to see him, so even though she could hear a few words said inside, she still couldn't. Clearly what was said. When I heard that Wan Wan was asked to go to school, I was a little surprised and asked, "How can a girl go to school?"
The two chatted, and Mo Tingyu also slowly told Song Nanzhi what Han Shuxian said to him. Song Nanzhi was naturally very grateful after hearing this, "Shu Xian is so good to us, but it's a pity that we two old ones don't have much ability." The only thing that can help him is some worthless vegetables from the field."
Mo Tingyu said: "Shu Xian said that Wan Wan is smart and has many ideas, and will definitely be more successful than us in the future. Let Wan Wan remember how good her Uncle Han and Aunt Yu are to us, and repay their kindness when they grow up. .”
The old couple were talking in the room, and Han Shuxian and Yu Silian were also sitting on the bedside talking. Yu Silian said, "If you take Wan Wan to school, will it cause gossip?"
Han Shuxian said: "Don't worry, I don't really let her sit in the classroom all the time and listen to lectures. I take her to the side to listen first during class. The rest of the time, she can please other teachers, so it's okay to go in and listen." "
Yu Silian rolled her eyes at her husband, "How can you please Wanwan? How can a little kid like her know how to deal with the world? Except for you and his brother Chunlin, she doesn't know anyone else, so how can she please you? Don't think that I don't know you. The idea is not to take Wan Wan over first, let other gentlemen see her as smart and well-behaved, and then turn a blind eye and let her listen in. To be honest, this is not just for your sake. Just turn a blind eye."
Han Shuxian held Yu Silian's shoulder with one hand, "Don't worry, if there are really others who don't like Wan Wan being there, I'll just say that Wan Wan is Chun Lin's escort, so that others will have nothing to say."
Yu Silian: "You have already thought about it, what else can I say."
Han Shuxian smiled and said, "Don't you often talk about Wan Wan like this or that?"
Yu Silian said: "Uncle Mo and Aunt Song are both real people and easy to get along with, and Wan Wan is also very well-behaved. Compared to when I was in Beijing before, I feel like my life now is like the life of gods."
"As long as you like it." Han Shuxian said.
"Do you like it? Do you regret coming here?" Yu Silian turned her head and looked at Han Shuxian and asked.
"I like it. I also like the simplicity of the people in the village. Without those intrigues, I can live an easy life." Han Shuxian replied.
"But you can only be a teacher here?" Yu Silian said again.
"Teachers can also do a lot of things." Han Shuxian said.
While the Han couple were talking in the room, Li Yougui and Du Chunxia, who had been busy outside for a day, were also lying on the bed talking at night. Li Yougui said: "Doctor Liao said that Wan Wan will be promising in the future. Let me see. , I can be successful now, otherwise such a young person would be able to read and read, and make money by copying books."
"Not to mention far away, Guangming has been going to school for more than three years, and Guangming has been there for more than a year, but why haven't you heard them talk about making money by copying books?" Then he talked about Li Dagang, "We don't know much either. Wanwan can read, and Mr. Han is teaching her, and she is also a knowledgeable child. Let Dagang follow Wanwan, not to mention Dagang can also learn to be famous, but if she knows more words, she might be able to do it in the future. Go to the county and be a bookkeeper."
"Also, he hasn't gone out to get into trouble these days. When he came back today, he said that Wanwan had taught him how to read. When he returned home, he was holding a piece of paper to draw pictures and said he was writing. He was much more obedient than before." Speaking of Li Dagang's reading and writing, Li Yougui smiled even more.
Du Chunxia also had a smile on her face, "You are not a promising person. You can read and write at the age of four. A child as old as her in the village only knows how to play all day long, and even if she plays, she still needs an adult to watch her. Otherwise, we might cause a lot of trouble."
After praising Mo Ziyuan, the topic turned to Li Dagang, "Dagang has been more obedient these days, but he is still very anxious to get him up in the morning. He can't get up after a long time." When Du Chunxia said this, there was a smile on her face. A little less, and a touch of sadness replaced it.
"You keep yelling. You haven't taken care of him for so many years. This laziness can't be cured in an instant. From now on, we can't be like before and we have to discipline him more." Li Yougui said.
Speaking of her own discipline, Du Chunxia, after having a hint of sadness on her face just now, said with some worry: "Mom has been unhappy these past few days. She said that Dagang was doing things for others in vain. I asked Dagang to get up this morning. At that time, she was saying not to let Dagang go find Wanwan."
Li Yougui frowned a little after hearing this, "I'll go talk to her tomorrow and tell her that Wan Wan is studying in Jiao Dagang."
The next day, after Li Yougui and Du Chunxia got up and washed up, Li Yougui went out to fetch water. He went early to fetch all the water for home today. After Li Yougui went out, Du Chunxia put the rice in the pot and called Li Dagang to get up. As soon as she shouted, "Dagang, it's time to get up," Feng came over with a dark face, and shouted at Du Chunxia: "Why are you shouting? He is still growing, let him sleep more." , don’t wake him up so early in the future.”
He didn't give up yet, and continued: "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning to do. You call Dagang to get up and go to help Mo Jiabai work. I'm not willing to let him do my own things, so it's better for you." , and let him work in someone else's house for free, are there any parents like you?"
Du Chunxia didn't dare to talk anymore. It happened that Li Yougui came back with the water. As soon as the bucket was put away, he stepped forward and explained: "Mom, Dagang's work is not in vain. Isn't Wanwan teaching Dagang how to read?"
"Bah! What does a girl like her know? She can only recognize a few words and then wants to teach others? If she can teach like a girl, then why should the teacher be hired in the academy?" Feng said.
Normally, Li Yougui would have listened to her mother's words, but he still had his insistence on reading and literacy. He stepped forward and said, "Mom, don't look at Wanwan's young age, but she can read a lot of books. Mr. Han also praised her for being smart and reading well." After saying that Mo Ziyuan was good at studying, he then talked about Li Dagang, and continued: "Our family doesn't have the money to send Dagang to school. It's very difficult now. Although I don’t expect him to have any big future if he can read and read like Wan Wan, it is always good to read some books and learn some words. Maybe he can be an accountant when he grows up."
No matter how good Li Yougui said, Feng just ignored it and didn't take it to heart at all. She only heard her say: "You all know that our family has no money, so you still have to throw out one tael of silver. That one tael of silver is blown by the strong wind." Did you come here? You picked it up on the road, and you had to bend down even to pick it up. But it was better for you to give it out without blinking an eye."
"You gave it, and I didn't say anything to you. Why did you let Dagang go work for his family? Every day you have to collect firewood and cut pig grass. Isn't that what you got for free? It's what you got for free. Why do you have to carry it to your home for them? If you carry it to the county town, I don’t need to say too much. If you sell it for two cents, there will always be someone to buy it, right?"
After speaking, he added in an air of grandeur: "I didn't say anything before, but from now on, don't even think about instructing the Mo family in Dagang."
Mrs. Feng had made up her mind not to let her grandson go to Mo's house, which made Li Yougui and Du Chunxia anxious. Du Chunxia knew that Li Yougui would listen to her mother in everything, and she was afraid that Li Yougui would be silent, so she mustered up the courage. He said: "Mom, look, Dagang hasn't gone out to play in the past few days? He hasn't gone around to cause trouble either! He is much more obedient than before."
Mrs. Feng didn't show any kindness to Li Yougui, and she even showed no respect to Du Chunxia. She immediately scolded her, "I don't want you to instruct me to do things, so I don't have time to play!"
Du Chunxia was stunned by Mrs. Feng's words and complained in her heart: Damn old woman, you can't understand human language! Although he was complaining in his heart, he still looked honest and weak on his face, "Mom, Dagang has been playing with Wanwan these days. Now he is much more sensible. You can let him go to school with Wanwan. And go out to pick up some things every day. Firewood isn’t tiring either, it’s better than playing around before.”
"Why are you running out to play? Who can be naughty and mischievous? It's better for you. You don't know how to feel sorry for your own child, and you even instigate him to do hard work for others. Then the two immortals from the Mo family are your biological parents. Why, do you care about them so much? Why don’t you live in their house?”
"A prodigal mother-in-law, she can't finish the work in her own fields all day long, and she even goes to work in other people's fields."
After being scolded by Mrs. Feng, Du Chunxia didn't even dare to complain in her heart. She just walked to her room with red eyes, but Mrs. Feng refused to let her go after she left. "Today, if you don't stay in your own land well, When you work, don’t eat the food at home. Eat wherever you go to work.”
Li Yougui advised: "Mom, Chunxia also wants Dagang to become sensible as soon as possible. It would also be good if he can recognize a few words."
Mrs. Feng's anger immediately turned to Li Yougui, "How come Dagang is not sensible? Besides, if Dagang is not sensible, you should be his parents and teach him well. My old lady is not very knowledgeable, but I have never seen a baby given away to someone else." If you help, you will be sensible." When it comes to reading, Mrs. Feng is also very dissatisfied, "I saw that girl is very clever in the movie, she has a good idea, teach you a few words and let you old and young go to hell. Help her family for free."
Li Yougui continued to explain: "This is not the trouble caused by Dagang pushing Wan Wan into the river. If he had not pushed Wan Wan into the river, Aunt Song would not have been so frightened that she became ill, and there would not have been the following. thing."
Mrs. Feng roared out again in a long series, "You were already looking like you were dying, but you blamed it on Dagang. Besides, you have lost the medical expenses, what else do you want? Are you going to give them to me?" Will the family support you until your death?"
