Chapter 142 Letting You Go to School (Two Chapters in One)

It doesn't matter whether it is Shi'an or not, anyway, the orders passed down from above will never go wrong.

The guards remembered that they were told to give the wooden tube rice to the two women.

After he gave the two wooden barrels to Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin, he was free to salute the deputy general Shan Shao.After performing the military salute, he beckoned again, ordered the soldiers and called the two Erdaohe boys away: "You two follow me to get the pancakes."

On this side, Shi An introduced to the puzzled old lady Xu: "This is General Shan."

Mrs. Xu hugged the hot wooden barrel unable to salute, so she hurriedly said politely:

"Look at us, we have really caused trouble for the soldiers, and I didn't expect to alarm the general.

Hearing that the Huo family's army has always traveled lightly and easily, everyone must carry a fixed amount of military rations.

Eating and chewing is not obvious in the city, but it is very precious along the way.

It is an excuse for our group to have a place to stay in this kind of weather. It is no exaggeration to say that meeting Huo Jiajun is a rare blessing in life. "

Otherwise, their goods might be spoiled, and people don't know what will happen. There are no villages everywhere, and the villagers said they were lucky to get together before.

"I didn't expect the general to come to kiss us again late at night, and he still missed the trivial matter of filling our stomachs and filling our hunger, and saved us from the rationed military rations for chewing."

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: But in fact, there is no need, they really have something to eat.

Mrs. Xu is absolutely unambiguous when it comes to calculations, such as bargaining and living.

But right now, she felt that it was the worst time to be calculating, and she shouldn't hide her mind from others and think about saving money.

She has a problem, that is, if you want to play tricks with me, then don't blame me for being more calculating than you, what's wrong with who isn't smarter than the other?

But if anyone treats her with heart, she can't control the sincerity in her bones even with all her might, and she will put herself in the other person's shoes.

Huo Jiajun sent hot stones to their group and fed the mules and cows with horse grass.

This time I was even more afraid that they would be hungry, so I saved food from my own mouth to feed the common people.

If we say that Mrs. Xu was a modern person before, even if Zhao Dashan's information output said that the Huo family army was good, then she was not so optimistic about the ancient army.

After all, I heard that here and modern times are two different things.I heard that there were soldiers here who carnivaled casually three days before the war, but the general ordered the carnival to be made, and then those people seemed to have no good thoughts before they died, but they did everything they could to harm the common people.

But after going through these few things, Mrs. Xu finally understood why Huo Jiajun's reputation was so good this time.

Huo's army is indeed different from other city garrisons.

From then on, she only hoped that such excellent soldiers would win battles for a long time.

Now holding the hot rice bucket, I can't wait to say something to the general Shan who visited late at night: We would like to give you a bowl of thin noodles, and send you auspiciousness.

At this time, the old lady Xu said truthfully: "General, the grassroots actually brought food. I dare say that this trip is not so complete. We are going out this time to help people buy. It is to help people There is everything for shopping, food, clothing and bedding, so you really don’t have to worry about it.”

Yes, yes, Liu Laozhu nodded repeatedly from the side and wanted to tell that he even brought a few bags of fruits to quench his thirst. Pears are pears, apples are apples, and Tian Xin also has grapes and oranges.

If something really happened, they were less afraid of running out of water than Huo Jiajun.

And there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, maybe even what we have, you don't have.

Reluctantly, General Shan and Shi'an didn't even look at Liu Laozhu in front of him, he didn't dare to interrupt casually.

Shan Shao kept looking at Mrs. Xu, thinking: No wonder a low-level peasant family can teach such an outstanding Xu Youtian.

Shi'an thought to himself: Grandma Xu can really speak, she is really different from the ordinary people she has seen.

Shi'an believes that he is definitely not prejudiced against the country people, but through contact with the people at the bottom, he discovered that due to differences in identities, sometimes normal inquiries will make many people panic. He knelt down and kowtowed, trying to ask something but couldn't even answer the whole sentence.

To put it inappropriately, like sawing a gourd, the mouth is really for eating.

But Grandma Xu gave him the feeling that she was supporting her family with her words.

How can you speak like that?

Listen, just a few words can thank you in your heart, understand the difficulty of their shortage of supplies on the march, and see that each of them has a ration of rations.

After finishing speaking, she told her sincerely that she didn't lack anything, and the expression that didn't take it for granted would only make her more moved. Regardless of just a one-time relationship, anyone can feel that she is a lady with good character.

What's more, his son still has a deep impression on their young master's heart.

Their young master has seen too many people throughout the year, and it is too difficult to register in his heart, which shows that he is outstanding.

Shan Shao glanced at Xu Tianxin, who had been holding the wooden barrel and standing quietly by the side, suddenly changed the topic and asked Mrs. Xu: "When the windmill turned over, I saw that you, a granddaughter, have a stable temperament and are young. Not squeamish, after going up the mountain, I heard that it can be effective to help. She is temporarily avoiding the cave, and I just saw that she has arranged for everyone properly, can you read?"

When I was talking, I looked at the bedding of this group of people. I wanted to find words to lead to literacy, but I didn’t expect to find out that the limited hot stones, straw, and bedding and clothes were indeed allocated appropriately.

At the bottom is an oilcloth, on top of which is straw, followed by hot stones, on which old quilts are pressed as bedding.

The quilt was not enough to cover the knees and shoulders with old clothes, and there was a large piece of oilcloth lying around, presumably reserved for covering when everyone lay down.

Near the entrance of the cave, not only was the hole filled with soil and the drainage was dug in advance, but a pile of wine jars was piled up to cover the entrance of the cave, and it was worried that it would be inconvenient for people to go back and forth.The people who live near the entrance of the cave have a few tall sacks at their feet. If you look closely, you will find that they have made a small rectangular space for their residence.

At this time, there were two oil lamps on the bedding, and this group of people actually still had oil lamps.

It is inexplicably a little warm, unlike their soldiers who lean against the wall and sleep with their eyes closed, get up and move their legs and feet to warm themselves by the fire when they are cold, and sleep when they are sleepy.

Mrs. Xu didn't expect this general to start chatting casually. Aren't we being polite?But she has never been modest about her granddaughter.

"To tell you the truth, my granddaughter is literate. Thanks to bringing her here to help with the calculations and writing the receipts, there is no mess."

Liu Laozhu finally interjected, but when he remembered the incident between him and Brother Lei, his knees were still weak and he was a little nervous, so he only interjected with a flushed face: "It's not for nothing."

"Oh? Is there a gentleman in the village?"

Mrs. Xu smiled:
"Back to the general, not at all, we are in the backcountry, it takes several hours to go to the town, and we don't study much.

But fortunately, she is quite smart. First, when the eldest child in my family was still alive, she was only four or five years old and was taught by her father to recognize a lot of characters. At that time, she was able to describe a few decently.

Later, my eldest son was gone. Fortunately, there was still a barefoot doctor in the village who could read and write, and our youngest son from Liu Lizheng's family was studying the Eight Classics in the academy. If she didn't know it, she asked.Lizheng's children always lend books to her.

Now that I have accumulated it year after year, I can know what I should know in this way, but the writing still needs to be practiced. "

The old lady Xu smiled and thought: When I have made money, I can provide large white paper, and if my granddaughter is not allowed to write with that sand, let's start practicing.

Anyway, sooner or later, her granddaughter is appointed to be both civil and military, and she can also fly needles and threads on human skin, which is rare in this era, so why be modest.

The real daughter can't hide it.

Liu Laozhu listened from the sidelines, moved and puzzled.

The girl from the Xu family is really kind, in such a tense mood, she can still put some gold on his face when answering the official speech.

As for his little son, who is blessed like the sea of ​​death and whose lifespan is shorter than the epiphyllum, how can he teach Tian Xin'er?If that's the case, the old Liu family's ancestral grave will be full of smoke.

However, the borrowed book has indeed been borrowed recently, presumably Guan Treasure Box is the one who taught Tian Xin.

Shan Shao looked at Xu Tianxin and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Girls have an upward heart.

Xu Tianxin squatted down and saluted slightly with his rice bucket in his arms: "Thank you, sir."

The two idiots who happened to get all the cakes came back, and Shan Shao left a sentence: "Eat while it's hot, and go to bed early. No matter how heavy the rain is, no matter what happens in the mountains, we can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he stopped staying and left.

In the eyes of Mrs. Xu, it seemed like the end of the visit.

Xu Tianxin wondered: Why is it correct to only give her and her milk with the wooden barrel rice?Third Uncle and the others can only eat pancakes and take care of the lady?

Although she has been taken care of by Huo's army since she went up the mountain, like Shi'an and that Uncle Lai, she can feel that she doesn't take the people seriously. If there is any difficulty, just tell them, they will try their best to help solve it.

But Xu Tianxin always felt that Shi'an looked at her and grandma's expressions differently this time.Including the general just now was also very kind, even looking at them through a filter, as if looking at her and her milk.It's a bit harsh.

"Grandma, don't you find it strange?"

"What's so strange?"

"As far as that general Shan praised me, I obviously didn't do anything, so why did it catch my eye. We were favored by others, but he praised me in turn."

The old lady Xu said in a natural tone: "What else do you want to do? This is not bragging. Wherever my granddaughter goes, her temperament is different from other girls. If you don't believe me, ask your third uncle."

He moved his buttocks and whispered to Xu Tianxin's ear: "You are outstanding in our modern metropolis, let alone here, so there is nothing to wonder about."

As a modern person coming to ancient times, there is still some sense of psychological superiority.

Mrs. Xu has it.

If it weren't for the magic spell on her head, she would always remind herself that the people here are not stupid, and don't treat anyone as a fool.People here at most see the world less and react more slowly, and they can figure it out after a little more thinking. No one is really stupid.With her granddaughter at her side, she always reminded herself not to be too aggressive, beheading here is like chopping chickens, otherwise she would feel even more superior.

Mrs. Xu thinks: What's more, her granddaughter is a flower under the nine-year compulsory education. She wears a red scarf and does exercises between classes. She is one of the earliest members of the Communist Youth League. I don’t need paper and pen to write some papers. What kind of PPA or APP is used.How good is this?No one finds that the temperament is excellent, that is blind.

Xu Tianxin was speechless after hearing this, and came again.

Her milk will always be like this.

Always think that she is hungry, she is cold, she is thin, and she is the second most beautiful in the world.

The first beauty is grandma, and her beauty is to follow grandma.

So it's not wise to discuss her affairs with grandma.

Xu Tianxin thought to himself: Anyway, I have nothing to worry about, so I stopped being suspicious.

He gave himself a bowl full of hot wooden barrel rice, and gave the rest to Uncle Xu.

Xu Youcang gave some slices of meat to Xu Tianxin.

"Salty, third uncle."

Xu Youcang gave up, but scooped out another bowl of rice from the barrel and handed it to Liu Laozhu.When he came to him, there was only a light cake at the bottom of the bucket to eat.

Liu Laozhu was moved again after taking over the job, this kid Youcang didn't say that he was in his heart.

Liu Laozhu happily held the bowl and wanted to sit next to Mrs. Xu to eat.

After today's various situations, I admit my shortcomings.

He wanted to have a discussion with Mrs. Xu. In the future, it would be best for Mrs. Xu to take the lead in matters that need to be stepped forward in the village, and he will do as he pleases.

If the girl is not a woman, the government will not allow a woman to be upright. To be honest, he really wants to make Xian, always feel that if the girl is upright, their village will be more popular in the town and county.In short, in the future, he will definitely hit wherever the girl points.He was just relieved to be a famous person.

Mrs. Xu remembered the previous "revenge".It's nothing, and you don't know how to grasp the opportunity, so you just want to impress the people above you?
The most important thing is that she tried to take her granddaughter out to block the conversation. She rolled her eyes obviously. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Needless to say, you can see for yourself.

When Liu Laozhu saw it, he didn't dare to come forward.I thought to myself: I rolled my eyes so much, as if those snobbish shopkeepers thought he couldn't afford it, how much they disliked him.

As for Mrs. Xu's meal, she only ate half a bowl and gave it to the other boys in the village.

In the evening, just eat some, it is best not to eat salty.Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to use the army to store water and spend firewood to boil water.Just dip it in and order this rice to pad your belly.

"It's delicious, auntie, they are bacon, which is different from your sausage."

Everyone speaks with breath, afraid of affecting the rest of the soldiers inside.

Lifting the intestines, Mrs. Xu suddenly remembered the few sticks she had crushed, and wondered why she couldn't still eat Huo's army's rations tomorrow morning.They finish their meal first, so they won't be delivered.

"It doesn't matter whether we go or not if the rain stops tomorrow morning, we'll get up early to help fetch water, so as not to set up this paving to get in the way, I'll cook noodles and eat."

At the same time, in one of the military tents outside the cave, Shan Shao was telling Shi'an: "When the family members come back, there will be a girls' school, please remind me."

He has too many things to do every day, and he is afraid that he will not remember after a while.

Shi'an immediately understood that Vice General Shan was trying to get that granddaughter of the Xu family into the girls' school.

The Huo family army attaches great importance to the children of the military, regardless of whether they are high-ranking officials or small soldiers, as long as they are regular soldiers of the Huo family army, all the children in the family will be taught by good teachers paid by the Huo family.In addition to the basic Four Books and Five Classics, the son of the family also has riding and archery martial arts and Fanyu.Women's literacy and accounting are the basis, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and cooking are optional, and simple pharmacology, bandaging and the same riding, shooting and whipping are compulsory.

The old lady of the Huo family once said that the tiger girl of Jiangmen should never be a flower in a greenhouse, and she also attaches great importance to women's practice.

And if the girl from the Xu family wanted to enter this kind of school, she heard that Lieutenant Shan meant to take his place.

Shan Shao really thought so, he would communicate with his wife in advance, and then he would also ask his daughter to bring the child of the Xu family with him, so as not to be bullied.
