When Li Yougui went out, he saw Song Nanzhi carrying a basket full of red sweet potato vines, while Li Changfeng was carrying a basket full of firewood. Although Li Dagang carried five baskets of firewood and pig grass, the basket he carried was much smaller because of his young age, about the same size as a basket, and the firewood and pig grass he collected were all loose. And both of them were carrying not only large backpacks, but also tightly packed, no less than Li Dagang's five days.
"Aunt Song, what's going on?" Li Yougui watched as the two of them were carrying firewood and being attacked by vines.
"That child Wan Wan just remembered that she hadn't even finished copying her own books. She also wanted to test Dagang and teach Dagang how to read, so she asked Dagang to collect firewood and cut pig grass for us. ." After a pause, he continued: "Originally, as long as the kids don't cause any trouble when we play together, we adults won't care about it. To take a step back, even if there is a bump in the road, it doesn't matter. Dagang came to my house to look for Wanwan these days, and the two of them didn't have any trouble, but your mother insisted on coming to make trouble, saying that Dagang helped us work as a coolie all day long, and we used Dagang as our scapegoat."
Although Song Nanzhi didn't speak as loudly as Mrs. Feng, and she spoke slowly and calmly, because Li Yougui's family lived in the middle of the village, your house was connected to my house, and my house was connected to your house. We all shared a large courtyard, and Song Nanzhi stood in the shared courtyard. In a courtyard, even if the voice is not loud, everyone can hear clearly, "Your mother said that we used Dagang as a scapegoat. I dare not admit it. Although our family is short of manpower, it is not unconscionable." Let a kid help me work."
When he said this, Song Nanzhi put the basket on his shoulder into the yard, "As much firewood and pigweed as Dagang carried to my house, I will return it today."
When Song Nanzhi said this, he glanced at the people who came out to watch the excitement, and continued: "As you have seen today, my nephew and I came to collect the firewood and the pig grass that Dagang collected for my family. Come back here to avoid being brought out for gossip in the future." He looked at Li Yougui, paused, and still didn't say anything about pouring the firewood and red vines in the yard, "Take this firewood and red vines back and pour them out. Take out the backpack for me."
Li Yougui hurriedly declined and said: "How can this be done? He is just a kid picking up some firewood and cutting some weeds for fun. Aunt Song, please stop doing this. It's all Dagang's fault."
Song Nanzhi said unhappily: "You can't wrongly accuse Dagang. Why is this Dagang's fault? Dagang pushed Wanwan before, and it was true that I was scared. It was his fault, but It was over as it was, and later he came to play with Wan Wan, and Wan Wan asked him if he wanted to study, and he said yes!"
Song Nanzhi repeated: "After Dagang said he wanted to study, Wanwan said he would test him for five days, asking him to go to the mountains to collect firewood and cut pig grass. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it comes easily, Then I won’t feel cherished! I want Wanwan to teach Dagang how to read and write, just to let him know that this is an opportunity that he has earned with great difficulty."
Before Song Nanzhi finished speaking, Li Yougui stepped forward and said: "Aunt Song, I know that Wanwan wants to help me teach Dagang better, so that he will not do anything at home every day, run around and play all day long, and make trouble everywhere. , it was my intention and his mother’s to let Dagang collect firewood and cut pig grass. We all know this. Auntie, please calm down. It’s because I, the father, didn’t teach the baby well. Wanwan is smart and obedient. I just thought Let Dagang play with her, and Dagang can also learn to be obedient."
Li Yougui's words were agreeable to Song Nanzhi's ears, but she also had a strong sense of balance in her heart. She could clearly distinguish who was right and who was wrong. Li Yougui always followed his mother's lead in everything, and if anything went wrong, he would blame it on herself. She stopped her, but she was not here to blame Li Yougui, and continued: "We are all parents. Who doesn't want our children to be adults? So Dagang comes to play at home every day, and they all play together obediently. We We are also happy. This baby, Wanwan, is good at everything, but he doesn’t go out to play. We are all very happy that he can come home and play with me, Wanwan. Yesterday, Wanwan also said that Dagang was doing well and taught him to read. , gave him banknotes again, and began to teach him how to read and read! Today, he also said that he would not have to go to the mountain to collect firewood or cut pig grass tomorrow! From now on, when he comes home, he will just study with her. If it weren’t for you Mom is here to make trouble, now both children are still learning and playing!"
"Let's judge, what's wrong with my Wanwan family?" Song Nanzhihuan scanned around the people who came out to watch the excitement at the door of each house!
"It's okay to teach Dagang how to read. My Wanwan learned how to read herbs from Dr. Liu who treated my old man in the county. He taught Dagang how to read herbal medicine the day after Dagang came to play at home. Doctor Liu said, these They are collected in herbal medicine shops and medical clinics. When it comes to taking advantage, my Mo family has never been one who likes to take advantage."
"Forget it, my Wan Wan shouldn't have kindly wanted to teach Dagang how to read and write. She shouldn't have tested Dagang by asking him to collect firewood for five days and cut weeds for five days. It's my fault. I shouldn't have done it. Come on, we shouldn’t let the kids do whatever they say.”
It was Song Nanzhi's fault for saying this, but everyone knew that this was not a problem and it was all caused by Mrs. Feng alone. However, after this incident came out, the people who listened were moved. Everyone knew that Wan Wan was learning to read from Han Shuxian, and the story of Wan Wan copying books also came out. Since Wan Wan can even Dagang Teacher, I compared Li Dagang and his family again. I not only felt that my son was more obedient and sensible, but I also felt that I was more sensible than Li Dagang's family. If Wan Wan even taught Dagang, my own son would definitely be the same. Therefore, each family thought of asking their children to play with Wan Wan more often.
After the idea came up, everyone in the family rushed forward to comfort her. Those who had already stepped forward to comfort her even more thoughtfully told Song Nanzhi not to be angry. Everyone knew what was going on, and said that Wanwan was smart and well-behaved and never caused trouble.
Song Nanzhi's voice became louder after explaining the whole story clearly, and he said to the people around him: "I have never seen a nurse like her, who doesn't look after the baby well, and just wants to let the baby climb trees and go into the river all day long. , causing trouble and having fun.”
After speaking to the crowd, he shouted to the door of Li's house: "My Wanwan is very well-behaved, and there are many people who want to play with her. You will suffer a loss if you stop Dagang from playing with my Wanwan." It’s not my Wan Wan. If Wan Wan doesn’t teach him how to read and write, he can copy a few more words and get more rest.”
The crowd watching the excitement had already had an idea in their mind, but right after Song Nanzhi's words, someone shouted out, "Wan Wan is quiet, gentle, and well-behaved. Who doesn't like her?" They keep saying they want to play with Wan Wan every day, but I’m afraid they’ll be too noisy and disturb Wan Wan.”
"No, my family also said that they just want to play with Wanwan."
Song Nanzhi said immediately after the two people spoke: "The kids are more lively when they are noisy. I am not a very lucky person. I only have one granddaughter in the family, Wan Wan. She has a quiet temperament and there are not many people in the family, so it is not as lively as your family."
"It's so nice to play with Wan Wan. Wan Wan is gentle and loves to be clean. My two brats spend all day rolling in the mud. If Aunt Song is not afraid of making noise, I will let the two of my family go play with Wan Wan. If there is a noise, I'm sorry for you, please be more considerate, and I'll give you a slap in the face twice to make sure there won't be any quarrels."
Song Nanzhi smiled and replied: "What's the fuss about? I wish they could go and play with Wan Wan more often. Wan Wan doesn't have any brothers or sisters. I have someone to accompany her to play with. I don't know how happy I am to have them go and play with her." Wan, my house is also lively."
"With Aunt Song's words, I feel relieved. Auntie, don't worry. If two of my family members dare to bully Wan Wan, Wan Wan will be beaten with a big stick."
…
After Song Nanzhi went to the village, she not only made Mrs. Feng even more angry, but also found a lot of playmates for her granddaughter. However, Mo Ziyuan did not disappoint everyone. She really taught the village children how to behave after the busy farming at home. Start writing. As for why we need to teach them how to read, this is the only way that a pseudo-child can play with a group of real children. It is also the best game and method that she can accept. Apart from this, she couldn't find any other games suitable for her and them.
Moreover, not only did she teach, but Han Chunlin was also treated as a primary school teacher by her, and Han Chunlin's learning improved a lot. But these are all things for later.
After Song Nanzhi returned the firewood and pigweed that Li Dagang had picked up to Feng and returned home, no one took it to heart anymore. With all the things going on at home, who had time to think about these messy things.
Everyone in the village knew that the Li family came to help the Mo family. In the past few years, the Li family has come every time it is time to plant and harvest. Now it’s time to dig the red potatoes in the field. After digging the red potatoes, it’s time to prepare the land. Then the rice in the field should be harvested. After the rice is harvested, wheat will be planted in a few days. This is why Dong Biyun and his two sons The reason why I came to Mo's house with my wife. Mo has a small family, and there are flowers to take care of, so the work in the fields will definitely be overwhelming!
Naturally, the people in the village knew that they couldn't let their children go to Mo's house to play on such a busy day. If they went, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Not only can’t it delay the Mo family’s farm work, but they also want to help out!
Therefore, not only did she take care of her, but she also told her children to be polite and courteous to the Mo family, especially to be more accommodating to Wan Wan. The adults even abandoned their work at home and passed by the Mo family's field pretending to be unintentional. From a distance, they greeted Song Nanzhi and the Li family who were busy in the world. With this greeting, they came to the field and got a hand.
If there is one, there will be two. The person who goes to help is not just doing the work in his own field or in the field. He has already stood by the field to say hello, and he has been called to the field to help him with the work. Come on, even if you happen to be passing by and someone says you're not busy right now, just come over and lend a hand.
Since you are here to help out of your heart, you will definitely not add unnecessary burdens to others. Whether you are stopping by to help, or you happen to have time today, you will either go to help in the first half of the day, or you will go to help in the afternoon, anyway. Leaving early before the Mo family was ready to go home for dinner, this not only helped the Mo family, but also did not add any burden to Song Nanzhi, the cook.
