Compared with the gifts given by several children, the gifts Han Shuxian and Yu Silian gave after carrying Han Qiulu to Mo's house were much more expensive.
Yu Silian, Mo Tingyu, and Song Nanzhi all had the same idea, they all wanted to save some items for Mo Ziwan. Their daughter's dowry was saved from a young age, and it would be richer until the day she got married, so this time she gave her a jade pendant. , although it is just a jade pendant, the quality of the jade is very good, and the workmanship is exquisite, so the price is not cheap.
Han Shuxian didn't need to give it as a gift, but who made this goddaughter so lovable? Knowing that she likes reading, he gave her a set of travel notes. This set of travel notes is not easy to buy in the market, and Xie Wenhua helped me find it. .
There were gifts to receive and sumptuous meals. Not only did Mo Ziyuan eat happily, but Song Nanzhi and Mo Tingyu were also so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. This was the most decent birthday their granddaughter had ever had since she came to the house.
Just after lunch, two carriages came from the village. The carriages drove directly to the entrance of the Han family's yard. The four members of the Han family were all at Mo's house. When the servants saw the carriages, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Seeing it was Xie Wenhua, they hurriedly greeted them. Bring someone into the house and sit down.
"Where is your master?" Xie Wenhua asked after getting off the carriage.
"The master is at Mr. Mo's house. It's Miss Wanwan's birthday today. The master and his wife, as well as the young master and the young lady are all there, but they should be back soon."
After the servant's words, Xie Wenhua knew that today was Mo Ziwan's birthday, but everyone was in the village now, and it was too late to prepare birthday gifts. He reached out to his waist, fumbled with the jade pendant hanging around his waist, and then said: "Come on What a coincidence, I went to join in the fun."
After one sentence, he said to the servant: "The things in the carriage are all the books that your master needs to use in his school. You should keep an eye on them. I will go to Mo's house first."
"I'll take Mr. Xie there."
The servants brought Xie Wenhua to Mo's house. When they walked into the yard, they heard the noise of the children. Xie Wenhua walked to the door of the house and shouted: "Uncle Mo, Aunt Song!"
Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi looked at the door and saw Xie Wenhua hurriedly stood up and greeted him into the house.
"Wenhua is here, come in quickly."
"Come in and sit down."
Xie Wenhua walked towards the house, "It's a coincidence that I'm here today." But then the conversation changed again, "Uncle Mo, Auntie, you've just met me, why didn't you tell me Wanwan's birthday?" , If I hadn’t come across her, I wouldn’t have known that Wanwan’s birthday was today.”
After speaking to Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi, he turned to look at Han Shuxian, "Brother Han, you are too boring."
"This is not because Brother Xie is busy with business on weekdays. If I knew that Brother Xie was free today, I must have told you earlier."
Xie Wenhua followed Han Shuxian's words and said, "Not busy, not busy! Fortunately, I came today, otherwise I would have missed our Wanwan's fifth birthday." Then he took off the jade pendant from his waist and shouted to Mo Ziwan: "耀耀.”
Mo Ziwan was playing with Han Qiulu, turned to look at Xie Wenhua, pulled Han Qiulu over and walked over, "Uncle Xie, why are you here?"
"I'll bring you the books you need for the school." After saying that, he took off the jade pendant and handed it to Mo Ziwan, "I don't know it's your birthday today, so I didn't have time to prepare. I'll just keep this jade pendant this year and wait for Uncle Xie next year. Let me prepare a new gift for you."
Mo Ziyuan waved her hand and said, "Thank you, uncle. You're welcome. The jade pendant is something that uncle wears. He keeps it for his own use. When I go to the county or Beijing another day, I will go to uncle. When uncle arrives, he will take me to play. Give me a birthday gift."
"Yes, yes, Wanwan is right, Wenhua, please put away the jade pendant quickly. She has never given birth to a baby. We are the only two families finding reasons to have a meal together." Mo Tingyu said.
Han Shuxian also said: "Brother Xie, you'd better keep this jade pendant for now. She's a little kid. If you give her this jade pendant, it won't be fun for her to hold it. When you have time later, buy her a beaded flower or a doll." It’s better than this jade pendant of yours.”
Mo Ziyuan followed Han Shuxian's words and said: "I like dolls and I also like reading books. Uncle Xie can give me either dolls or books." qδ.net
"Put it away quickly. She is just a little kid. How can she deserve something as valuable as yours." Song Nanzhi walked up to Xie Wenhua and helped him take back the jade pendant in his hand.
Go, "Have you eaten? I'll make you something."
Xie Wenhua had no choice but to put away the jade pendant, "Auntie, stop working so hard, I've already eaten it."
"Sit down and have a rest. I'll get you a glass of water." Song Nanzhi asked Xie Wenhua to sit down and then turned around to make him tea.
After Xie Wenhua sat down, he said to Mo Ziwan, "I will make up your gift again another day."
"Thank you, Uncle Xie."
Han Qiulu followed Mo Ziyuan and thanked her: "Thank you, uncle." It made everyone laugh, and Xie Wenhua said: "Okay, uncle will also prepare a gift for us Lulu when the time comes, but we can't let our Lulu's thanks go in vain. "
Xie Wenhua and Han Shuxian accompanied Mo Tingyu at Mo's house. Song Nanzhi talked for a while before returning to Han's house, and Mo Ziwan followed.
After arriving at the Han family, looking at a carriage of books, Han Shuxian directly asked people to drive the carriage to the school. He also invited Xie Wenhua to come with him, "I will take you to see our school. Later, we will go to the river to see the construction under construction." 's paper mill."
"It just so happens that I want my boy to come to your school to study. Today I will go to the school for him first." Xie Wenhua said.
"He is studying well in Beijing. If you ask him to come to this village, he will definitely not be willing." Han Shuxian said.
"If I told him the benefits of your school, I'm afraid he would want to come and live in the village tonight." Xie Wenhua was not worried at all that his son would not be used to coming to the village. The village is only a few miles away from the county, and the carriage can be reached within a quarter of an hour. Less than a mile away, what's not to get used to?
When Xie Wenhua arrived at the school, he became more determined to send his son to Blue Water Bay School.
When he arrived at the school, Xie Wenhua looked at a large black board posted on the wall in front of the podium, which was much larger than the podium. He wondered what it was for and asked, "How can such a large black board be pasted in the classroom?" What’s the use?”
Han Shuxian picked up the plaster that was placed on the podium, turned around and wrote a dragon-flying word on the podium, "For writing." After writing, he took a rag to wipe it off, "Gentlemen write on the blackboard and explain, while the students Study by looking at the blackboard."
"Look at our student desks and chairs. One person has one table, so they don't disturb each other. Moreover, the height of these desks and chairs can be adjusted. If it is not suitable for tall children, they can raise the desks and chairs to sit on them. .”
"You are too diligent in what you do. I dare say that even the Imperial College in Jingli will not be as good as your classroom."
After leaving the classroom, there is the canteen. "All the ingredients in our canteen are grown by local people. The ingredients are absolutely fresh. There are two meat dishes, one vegetable and one soup. The daily meal fee is only ten cents."
Han Shuxian always remembered how proud he was when he took him to the toilet in the bookstore. Today he also took him to the toilet. "In order to keep the school clean, we will hire a cleaning staff to clean it and teach the children how to clean it. Establish good habits of hygiene and cleanliness in them.”
Then he turned to the field outside the classroom and pointed around the fence. "We plan to plant some flowers, plants and trees around the fence, but we have to wait until the children come into the school. We will take them to plant them together, so that these flowers, plants and children can grow together." .”
"When will you start school?" Xie Wenhua asked directly after transferring to another school.
"It's almost time. When the results of Qingyuan's prefectural examination come out, we will start school. There are still seven days left." Han Shuxian replied.
"The results of the Qingyuan Prefecture examination should not be bad either!"
"He doesn't think it's difficult. We won't know the details until the test results come out."
After coming out of the school, Han Shuxian took Xie Wenhua to the river again. The papermaking mill was built near the water mainly for the convenience of water.
Looking at the prototype paper mill by the river, Xie Wenhua sighed: "I really didn't expect that now you not only have a luncheon meat workshop, but also the school has been repaired, and now a paper mill has also been built."
Not only Xie Wenhua sighed, but also Han Shuxian felt that all this was like a dream now that he thought about it. He also sighed: "I feel like a dream." Then he smiled and said: "Aren't you the same? Bookstores are opening one after another. The library in Jingli is almost under repair, how soon will it be ready to open?"
"Let's wait until next year. How many copies will I be printing?
Some books will be opened later! "
Then he added: "I don't think Wan Wan should teach. Teaching wastes time. It's better to write more stories or think of different types of books if you have this time."
Han Shuxian was noncommittal, "If Wan Wan taught Xie Tao, you wouldn't think so."
"You really didn't teach Chunlin, it was all Wanwan who was teaching Chunlin?" Xie Wenhua knew that Mo Ziwan was teaching Han Chunlin, but he thought that even if Wanwan was teaching, she was only teaching everyone how to read and memorize some things she knew. Book, but now the meaning of Han Shuxian's words is somewhat different.
"Now I am mainly teaching Qingyuan, and I also teach Wanwan in the evening, but the teaching time is not much, half an hour every day. As for Chunlin, he is more suitable for Wanwan's teaching method, so I am happy to have my leisure time. "
"But Wanwan said that after the school starts, she will only teach the current few children and will not have the energy to teach other children."
Xie Wenhua also agreed with this: "She is still young, and she is already very good at teaching those few children every day." Then he added: "Then you have to tell Wanwan more, Brother Duotao Not one is too many.”
Han Shuxian smiled and said, "What do I need to say more? You agreed with just one sentence."
Whether Xie Wenhua will send his son to school in Lanwan Village will be known when school starts. In the same way, Murong Qingyuan's test results will be as good as what he said. He can only tell when the results are announced. Know.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. On the day when the results of the government examination were released, the Mo family arrived at the entrance of the examination room early as they did when they went to see the results in the county. However, this time they could not stand in a good position at the entrance of the examination room.
When the Mo family arrived at the examination room, a circle of people had gathered at the entrance. Mo Ziwan looked at the people gathered at the entrance, looked around the examination room, and then pointed to the wall, "Where should we wait?" !」
"What are you doing there? Just wait here. The bosses will come out of the gate soon. When he comes out, we will see where he posts the list. Let's go there."
Murong Qingyuan explained: "Grandpa, the list has been posted there before, and it is probably posted there this time. Let's go there and wait. If not, we can wait until there are fewer people and then take a look."
After Murong Qingyuan explained, Mo Tingyu said: "Okay, let's go there first."
As they expected, after the official came out, he first pushed the crowd back, then took the list and walked towards the wall where the Mo family stood. Although the Mo family also took several steps back, they still Stand in front.
It was clear that he was about to see the results, but Murong Qingyuan became nervous. Just as nervous as him was Mo Ziwan.
