After leaving the yamen, Xie Wenhua said: "They say gambling harms people, but it's true!" After saying that, he continued: "But this can't be entirely blamed on others. Who makes them unable to resist temptation? This is the result of stealing the chicken and losing the money." A handful of rice."
The master's words allowed Han Shuxian and Xie Wenhua to temporarily dispel their doubts. After Xie Wenhua finished speaking, he also said: "How many people in this world can resist temptation? Don't talk about them. There are many people who live a luxurious life and don't know it." Satisfied, but still thinking about wanting more, sharpening his head to delve into it.”
"But the boy named Murong you are talking about is quite interesting. He is so embarrassed and still refuses the job you introduced to him. He has some backbone!" Xie Wenhua said.
Han Shuxian thought about what Mo Ziwan said that not only could he read and write, but he could also write well, and what he had written.
Meditate silently, "Wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't get them in the right way, you can't get them. Poverty and lowliness are what people hate. If you don't get it in the right way, you can't get rid of them." Don't be greedy. Get what you get in front of you in a wise way, and rely on your own efforts to change your current life. To have such a character, and also at the time when he was most embarrassed, was already very rare. After thinking for a while, he said: "If this is really a coincidence, his temperament is really rare!"
After Han Shuxian and Xie Wenhua left, the county government master immediately turned to the back hall and walked to the back hall. Before he could report, the county magistrate Wei Changfeng couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Do they believe it?"
The master replied: "I guess I believe it!"
After Wei Changfeng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!"
The master continued: "What should we do with the two people in the cell?"
Wei Changfeng said: "You can't handle such a small thing, and you ask me to clean up their tails for them!" Then he added: "I will be detained for a few more days!" After adding, he added: "The other people must also be arranged. "
The master responded: "I'll make arrangements right away."
Besides, after Murong Qingyuan stayed at Mo's house, he got up early the next day. Others who got up as early as him were Mo Li and Song Nanzhi!
After Song Nanzhi got up, he saw Murong Qingyuan also getting up and asked, "Why don't you sleep more? But you're not used to it? Does your body still hurt a lot?"
Murong Qingyuan was a little stunned by the series of concerns. It had been a long time since anyone cared about him like this. A touch of warmth rose from his heart. The corner of his mouth was slightly wolfberry, and he replied: "Thank you, Grandma Song, for caring. I'm just used to getting up early, and I don't feel any pain in my body." Already!" Then he said, "Is there anything I can do?"
Song Nanzhi said: "It's nothing, you haven't been injured yet, you need to rest more!"
Murong Qingyuan didn't take the injuries on his body seriously, "It's just a small injury, it'll be fine after a night's sleep!" Then he looked at the broom in the yard, "I'll sweep the floor!"
Song Nanzhi hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, you have to rest well these days! When your injury is healed, if you want to help with something again, I will definitely not stop you anymore."
Mo Li once thought that he had lived a sinful life, but after learning about Murong Qingyuan, he discovered that there were others like her who lived a life where their father was not close to them and their mother did not love them.
No, his mother still loved her, but his mother died early. He does have a mother, but it's better not to have one. At least without a mother, there will be one less person to scold and beat oneself. Thinking that Murong Qingyuan was as pitiful as himself, he helped Murong Qingyuan and said: "Grandma, sweeping the floor is not a heavy job. Let Brother Murong help us sweep it." Li Li felt that nothing could be done if he stayed at home like a guest. It would be easy not to do it, but guests are guests after all, and they cannot stay at home forever. One day they will leave. She wants to stay in this family forever, even if she does more things, so she wants to help the family, share the housework with her grandma, take care of her grandpa, and take care of her sister Wan Wan. Only in this way can she feel that she belongs to this family. people.
Therefore, he thought that if Murong Qingyuan was allowed to work, as long as he was diligent, his grandma might be able to keep him, so that he would no longer have to wander around.
After Mo Li's words, Murong Qingyuan continued: "What sister Mo Li said is that Grandma Song is already taking care of me when I come home, so it's only right for me to help with some things."
Song Nanzhi couldn't convince them, so he let him sweep the floor, while he and Mo Li walked to the kitchen to prepare today's breakfast.
Breakfast is sweet potato porridge cooked with sweet potatoes, plus an egg for each person. In addition, there is a small bowl of red pickled radish.
Breakfast was very simple, and everyone ate quickly. They slurred an egg with a bowl of porridge, and added some pickled radish to add some flavor. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the room finished their breakfast.
After breakfast, Mo Li cleaned up the dishes and Song Nanzhi prepared food for the family's livestock. Murong Qingyuan also followed him to the backyard, picked up the bucket next to the well and threw it into the well to get water.
Murong Qingyuan was fetching water, but Song Nanzhi didn't stop him. He only warned him: "Be careful, just fetch half a bucket of water."
Murong Qingyuan responded: "Yes."
Originally it was Li Linsong's job to clean the yard every morning, but when he got up, Murong Qingyuan had already taken the job. When he saw that he had gone to the backyard to help fetch water, he also walked to Song Nanzhi and said, "Grandma Song, just do the cleaning." Let me wash the dishes!"
Song Nanzhi smiled as he looked at a room full of children rushing to do the work, and said with a smile: "Okay, you come and wash!" After that, he added: "If your parents come to take you back in a few days, I will not be able to let you go." gone back."
There was a burst of laughter in the backyard, and the front yard was not to be outdone. How could there be less laughter with Li Linyu here? Even though he was a villain, standing next to Mo Tingyu, his little mouth kept talking, and he said "I" Yesterday I went to play with so-and-so, and it was so fun. I will go find him again today. After a while, he said that the candied haws he ate yesterday was very sweet, but there was too little. Finally, he said like an adult: "There is nothing we can do about it." , If the man who sells candied haws on a stick gives us more candied haws, he won’t be able to earn much money, and his life will be difficult!” After lamenting the hard life of the man selling candied haws, he said: “When I grow up in the future If I make more money, I will buy a lot of candied haws."
Mo Tingyu looked at Li Linyu, who was talking to him about the idle Longmen formation, with a smile on his face, and echoed him: "Why buy so much? If you can't finish it, it will be ruined at home!"
Li Linyu said: "After eating, I have to give it to Tongtong and Huwa, as well as my parents, grandparents, eldest brother, sister Wanwan, Grandpa Mo, you and Grandma Song." Tongtong and Huwa She is his current playmate in the village.
When Mo Tingyu heard that he still had her, the smile on his face deepened, "If you want to share it with so many people, you have to buy more to get enough!"
Li Linyu nodded, "Yeah."
Mo Tingyu: "It costs a lot of money to buy so many, so you have to read more books now so that you can earn more money in the future, otherwise you won't have money to buy candied haws!"
Unexpectedly, after Li Linyu heard about Duo Duoduo's reading, he sighed like an adult, "It's not easy to study!"
Mo Ziyuan sat aside and read, but she didn't read much. After Li Linyu's words, she couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you think is easy?"
Li Linyu turned his head and looked at Mo Ziwan, thought for a while and said, "Go to the mountain to collect firewood." Then he analyzed the ease of collecting firewood on the mountain, "There are many trees on the mountain. I can chop down many branches with a machete." Come back and light the fire.”
Mo Ziyuan did not refute him, which was also true, but she said: "But firewood cannot be eaten as candied haws, nor can it be spent as money."
Li Linyu said somewhat helplessly: "Yes, then I will also study more and make money by copying books in the future."
Mo Tingyu reached out and touched Li Linyu's tiger head and laughed, and said with a smile: "Then you should learn to read more from your sister Wanwan and let her teach you more!"
Mo Ziwan also said generously: "Okay, I will teach you to read and write more in the future!" You must satisfy your desire to copy books.
The morning in the Mo family was spent with laughter and laughter. After feeding the livestock at home, Song Nanzhi went out with a basket on his back, followed by Mo Li. Mo Ziyuan and Murong Qingyuan began to copy books.
After life at home was no longer tense, Mo Ziwan no longer forced herself to copy more. However, she still set a daily task that needed to be completed. She couldn't put it off after getting the book back, and she still needed to earn more money to live at home.
"The Analects" has been copied three times, and this is the fourth time, so she can keep writing without reading.
Murong Qingyuan looked at Mo Ziyuan writing to herself, and couldn't help but raise her head and asked: "Don't you need to read?"
Mo Ziyuan tilted her head slightly and replied, "I copied it three times!"
Murong Qingyuan listened clearly and knew that she must have memorized the entire book, so he lowered his head and copied it more seriously, memorizing it while copying.
Besides, although Mo Ziyuan also carefully wrote her handwriting, her mood was not as good as before. If the thought of making money hadn't supported her to continue copying, she really wanted to stop copying! Although the meaning of reading a book a hundred times will be obvious, copying a book repeatedly is also very boring!
After writing a chapter silently, Mo Ziyuan put down the pen in her hand and stood up to get a cup from the kitchen to drink water. This was something she had never done before. Before, she wished she had to eat, drink water, and sleep to copy the book earlier. over. Now, my mind is a little wandering and I can't concentrate on writing, so I have other thoughts.
Mo Ziyuan returned to the main room with her own glass of water and handed the glass to Mo Tingyu's hand, "Grandpa, drink water!"
After the Mo family's life got better, all the utensils that needed to be purchased were added. Now, instead of the rice bowl used for eating, the family now has a special water cup and a teapot with blue flowers and white background.
After Mo Ziyuan handed the water glass in her hand to Mo Tingyu, Mo Tingyu said: "You copy what's yours, don't worry about me! Take a break when you're tired!"
Mo Ziyuan smiled and said: "Copying books is not tiring! Grandma and Sister Mo Li are tired!"
Mo Ziwan's words made Murong Qingyuan's hand that was copying the book pause. After a pause, he kept giving hints to himself: Well, I'm not tired, and my wrist is not sore at all. So he continued his copying.
Li Linsong didn't practice calligraphy at the moment. He was reading the "Three Character Classic" borrowed from the Han family. He was already distracted when Mo Ziwan walked out and walked in again. He was clearly thinking about this after hearing her say she wasn't tired. I was very tired, but I didn’t dare to say it. He was afraid that if he said it, Mo Ziyuan would say that the work in the fields was easier, and then he and Mo Li would go to the fields to help in the next half.
After hearing this, Mo Tingyu smiled and said, "It's good that you're not tired!"
Mo Ziwan then went to the kitchen to bring her own water glass. After bringing the water glass over, she sat down next to Li Linsong, "Brother, that's it. No need to read any more. Tell me what you mean by what you just read!"
It didn't bother Li Linsong, because he was able to read what he had been taught before. After Li Linsong said what he meant, Mo Ziyuan continued to ask, but the next question made Li Linsong hesitant. Seeing that he couldn't explain, Mo Ziyuan gave some instructive words, and then drew inferences from one case to another. The content of the "Three Character Classic" that Li Linsong just read has been expanded.
