Li Dagang did not feel Han Chunlin's unhappiness, but replied honestly: "Sister Wanwan promised me to collect firewood and pigweed for five days and teach me how to read and write. Since yesterday, I have been reading and reading with sister Wanwan. .”
Maybe he had read books and his brain reaction was faster. Han Chunlin said immediately after Li Dagang's words: "You are really picky. From now on, Sister Wanwan will spend time and energy teaching you to read and read, and you will only give me five days of firewood." He Zhucao, your calculations are really loud."
Li Dagang was a little embarrassed and a little unhappy when Han Chunlin said it. He replied: "It's not the five days I said, it was the five days that Sister Wanwan said herself."
Han Chunlin continued: "That's because Sister Wanwan wanted to test you to see if you want to study, so she asked you to collect firewood for five days. And Sister Wanwan started teaching you before five days. It means that Sister Wanwan has never thought about asking for your firewood and pigweed, the main thing is to test you."
Listening to Han Chunlin's words, Mo Ziwan also felt very comfortable, but that's not it. Even if the family was short of manpower, they wouldn't look at him as a child to help, let alone the little firewood and firewood he brought every day. Pigweed!
Mo Ziyuan realized that what Han Chunlin said was good, but she didn't expect that what he said later would go astray, "Since you have passed the test and you want to continue learning, shouldn't you also do some self-cultivation? Although we are both My child, you haven’t started to make money yet. No, you haven’t started to make money yet. Sister Wanwan has already earned two taels of silver from copying books. Now she has finished copying one book and the other one is almost finished. Waiting for tomorrow When I finish copying the book the day after tomorrow, I can earn another four taels of silver. I am also copying books, and I will finish copying them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I can earn another two taels of silver after I finish copying."
Han Chunlin was talking about excitement, and he didn't even think about whether the book he copied could really be sold for money? And is it really possible to finish the copying in these two days? But this did not affect him from showing his pride in front of Li Dagang, "As long as you don't know how to make money, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can continue to go to the mountains to pick up some firewood and cut some pigweed to give to Sister Wanwan. Just treat it as It’s a handover…”
Han Chunlin was talking about "Liu" in particular, and he accidentally mentioned the matter of "Jiao Shuxiu". Mo Ziyuan originally wanted to say a few words to them. Both adults and children are very ambitious. It would be good if Chunlin's words could arouse Li Dagang's ambition. However, after hearing it, she realized that the child wanted to make Li Dagang He went up the mountain every day to collect firewood and cut pig grass to pay for the repairs, so he immediately stopped and said: "Confucius said: Reviewing the past will help you learn the new. When I teach Brother Dagang, I am also reviewing the knowledge I have learned. And Uncle Han also said, teaching makes you learn something new. , teaching Brother Dagang every day is equivalent to me learning it again, and learning it more will give me a new understanding."
Han Chunlin hummed: "Studying in the school is all about binding and practicing. You teach him that he should also practice binding and let him cut some pig grass and pick up some firewood to practice the binding."
Mo Ziwan said: "You all know it is a school, but we are not a school. Besides, I am not a teacher."
Although Li Dagang has never been to a school, he still knows what Shuxiu is, because his two cousins study in the school and have to pay Shuxiu every month. Their family did not send him to school because they had no money to pay for Shuxiu. Xiu Cai didn’t go. After knowing what Han Chunlin meant, he replied: "Okay, then I will cut pig grass and collect firewood every day to resist the repair fee."
Mo Ziwan hurriedly stopped her and said, "No!"
Li Dagang and Han Chunlin looked at Mo Ziwan at the same time and asked, "Why not?"
Mo Ziyuan looked at Li Dagang and explained: "I told you that this is not a school, and I am not a teacher, so I can't accept what you send. But if you learn well, you can thank me in the future. As for how to thank you in the future, I will wait for you. It’s never too late to thank you after you have learned and become capable, so remember it now. Anyway, I don’t need firewood, and our family is not short of firewood and pigweed.”
"Okay then." Li Dagang replied.
Just when the three of them agreed, Li Dagang's grandmother Feng's voice sounded outside the yard, "Li Dagang, come out."
When Feng's voice sounded outside, the three people in the room were startled. Han Chunlin looked at Li Dagang and asked, "Why did your grandma come here? You are so fierce!" He then added: "Is it you? Got into trouble again?"
Han Chunlin's words made Li Dagang extremely embarrassed. He turned around and rushed out of the house. When he came out, he yelled at Feng, "Why don't I come to play with Wanwan for a while?"
After the quarrel in the morning when Li Dagang was called to get up, the Li family continued to be trapped in an uneasy whirlpool. After having dinner with Feng's cloudy face, the whole family began to go about their own business. Even Li Dagang went out with a basket on his back to collect firewood and cut pig grass.
Seeing that she couldn't stop Li Dagang from going out again, Feng asked Li Chuncao to go with him to collect firewood and cut pigweed. Before leaving, she specifically told Li Chuncao to keep an eye on Li Dagang and not let him carry the firewood and pigweed to Mo. Home. But what she didn't expect was that Li Chuncao, Li Xiangye, and Li Lamei were not only timid and fearful by her, but they were also so afraid that her look at her could make the sisters tremble with fear. They didn't even dare to resist Li Dagang. .
So Feng asked Li Chuncao to follow Li Dagang out to pick up firewood and cut pigweed. Not only did he fail to stop Li Dagang from carrying the picked up firewood and cut pigweed to Mo's house, but even the pigweed that Li Chuncao cut was also used by Li Dagang. He took it and not only took it away from her, but also fiercely told her not to complain when she went back. This is why Li Dagang arrived at Mo's house in the first half of today, carrying a basket of firewood and pigweed.
After Li Dagang forcibly took away the pigweed that Li Chuncao had cut, she was afraid that she would be scolded even more if she went home carrying an empty basket, so after Li Dagang left, she found a place to cut some pigweed before going home, but this time she He didn't cut much, but after cutting a little he went home, but even this didn't satisfy Mr. Feng. First, when he got home, Mr. Feng questioned Li Dagang, and then scolded him.
She scolded her for eating so much in vain all day long, and she couldn't even stop her.
Not only did Feng know that Li Dagang had taken Li Chuncao's pigweed, but she also knew that he had gone to Mo's house again.
Feng yelled: "What did you say? I asked you to go up the mountain to collect firewood and cut pigweed. It would be better for you. Not only did you carry the firewood and cut pigweed back home, you also secretly carried your own things to other people's homes. . Forget it, now you are still snatching the pig grass that your sister cut, why are you so ignorant?"
After saying that Li Dagang was ignorant, he continued to shout without even pausing: "As honest as you are, I don't want to think that even though you pushed Mo Ziyuan, your father would pay for the money and bring the old hen to the door to apologize." . That’s not enough, your parents also went to their fields to help pull the grass and take care of the crops. Isn’t this enough? Do you want a child like you to work as a coolie for others every day?”
Feng became more and more energetic and louder as she spoke, "That is to say, if you are startled, people will have to pay for it, catch chickens to apologize, and people will come to do the labor. This is not a scare, but I think it is." They treat our family as being taken advantage of, and treat our family members as maids and slaves."
Mo Tingyu has lived in Lushuiyuan Village all his life, and has never been scolded by someone. If he hadn't thought about the inconvenience in his legs, he would have run out and scolded him. Although he didn't run out and scolded him, he was sitting in the room. Li couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly: "If my old lady hadn't been so scared that she fell on the bed and couldn't move, who would care about your money? I have a lot of chickens in the house, and it's not like I can't afford to eat one chicken." After talking about the money and chickens, he went on to carry the firewood and pig grass that Li Dagang was carrying, and yelled, "On the first day your Dagang was carrying firewood and pig grass came, my wife asked him to carry it back. It was because he insisted that we didn't want him to carry it back that he stayed. Yes, even if you want to see a joke about my poor Mo family, no matter how poor our Mo family is, we will never lack this firewood and pigweed." He then added: "My family's firewood and pigweed are piled in the backyard, you can just go and carry them. , you can recite as much as you want, I won’t say a word, if you recite it then get out of here, you are not welcome in my home."
Normally, Mo Tingyu would never argue with an old woman, but today was different. He fell on the bed, and the old woman was not in good health. If he didn't be tougher, anyone could come to his door from now on. Come and step on it. Mo Tingyu was so angry that he wanted to scold Li Dagang, but when he thought about how well-behaved he had been when he came to the house these past few days, and was being treated with firewood, pigs and grass, if he scolded him again, he would be afraid of hurting the child. One heart.
When Mo Tingyu made a sound, Mo Ziyuan ran over and stayed with him. She waited for him to finish scolding her and then said, "Grandpa, don't be afraid. Just sit back and I'll scold her."
Mo Tingyu was still a little angry at first, but his little granddaughter's words instantly overcame him. He smiled and said: "Okay, Grandpa is not afraid. Don't go out. Grandpa will sit here and scold the old witch away."
Mo Ziwan nodded, "Okay, I'll watch from the door to see her being scolded by grandpa." In fact, she was planning to stand at the door so that she could scold Mrs. Feng.
Mrs. Feng was not a good person. She usually liked to talk about the East family and the West family, and quarrels were common. As soon as Mo Tingyu finished speaking, she immediately replied: "You don't care about it? That's good, I don't care about it." Just give me back the one tael of silver and the old hen that my family gave me."
Mo Tingyu was not surprised, but he couldn't bear to be scolded like this and came to beg him. It's not like he reached out to find someone to beg for it. "I can give it back to you. I'll wait until my leg heals." , push you into the river and drown half to death, and then fish you out, I will still accompany you one tael of silver and a chicken, not to mention one tael of silver. As long as you lie in bed and cannot get out of bed, I will always accompany you. Money will make you feel depressed."
Mo Ziwan stood at the door and looked at Mrs. Feng in the yard. She originally wanted to help and scold her, but she couldn't let this damn old woman bully her grandpa and grandma, but she really looked down on her grandpa! This ability to quarrel is so inferior to me, so inferior! Grandpa is too powerful and doesn't need her help at all.
Mo Tingyu didn't give Mrs. Feng any face at all. Not only did Mrs. Feng choke until she was speechless, but even Yu Silian and other villagers who heard the sound and came over to watch the fun couldn't help laughing, and some even started to boo.
"Mrs. Feng, you have gone too far. You could clearly see how Wan Wan was frightened that day. Otherwise, if your family had the money to pay for the medicine, you would have snatched it back long ago. Okay, now that you are feeling better, if you come to make trouble again, do you want to pay another one or two taels of silver before you are convinced?"
"After all, your Dagang is causing trouble all the time. If you don't push Wan Wan into the river, Aunt Song won't get sick. I think you have nothing to do, so you might as well go home and take care of Dagang. If he causes less trouble for you, he won't have to pay anyone to apologize."
"No, no one who is not sick or in pain wants to spend money on medicine. If Dagang doesn't push the flower into the river, Aunt Song will not go to the doctor and spend unjust money on medicine. Not to mention spending money on medicine, the key is The body is not in good condition, and people are suffering as well, and there is no one who can replace or help.”
Yu Silian was not good at quarreling, but today she couldn't just stand in the crowd and watch the excitement. After her voice fell, she hugged Han Qiulu and walked to the eaves of Mo's house. She waved to Han Chunlin and waited for Han Chunlin to come over. Han Qiulu put it on the ground and said, "Take my sister into Wanwan's room and watch her."
After putting Han Qiulu down, she walked towards Mrs. Feng and said, "Aunt Feng, even Dagang knew that she was wrong. She shouldn't have pushed Wanwan into the river. She has been coming to apologize to her in the past few days. It shows that she really knows that she was wrong and wants to change it." Wrong. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to make such a fuss now?”
