*************
When Mrs. Chen thought of the serious consequences of this incident, she felt as if the sky was about to fall.But from Du Jinning's analysis, it seems that the matter is really not serious, and it is impossible for Du Yinsheng to want the money Du Jinning made, so the money can be kept.

She suddenly became happy, and said: "You will be promising in the future, but you must honor your uncle and grandfather well."

"That's natural." Du Jinning nodded.

Feeling relieved, Mrs. Chen hurried to work in the field, gave Du Jinning a few words, and turned to the field stalk next to her.And Du Jinning looked up at the sky, it seemed that it was almost noon, so she didn't go home, but turned a corner and went directly to the ancestral hall.

At this time, people in the village eat two meals. Generally, they have breakfast at [-] o’clock in the morning, and then go to work in the fields. home for dinner.The private schools in the village used to work like this.But now the winter is cold, and there is no charcoal fire in the ancestral hall, not only the children, but even Du Yinsheng can't stand it after staying for a long time.In winter in the south, the temperature is not very low, but the chill that penetrates into the bones will make people uncomfortable.He took an hour off at noon, and each went home to warm up and rest.

Du Jinning jogged around the ancestral hall twice to warm up his body, and saw Du Yinsheng slowly approaching with a small fire cage.Seeing Du Jinning running there from a distance, Du Yinsheng was startled, quickly quickened his pace, and shouted: "Brother Ning, what happened?"

Du Jinning stopped in his tracks, turned his head and smiled at Du Yinsheng: "It's okay." Then he ran over, carried the cloth bag in the other hand for Du Yinsheng, and said, "I reckon uncle and grandpa should come by now. , waiting for you here."

Du Yinsheng thought that Du Jinning was here to attend the class, so he handed her the fire cage, took out the key to open the door, and said, "It's cold outside, come in and sit in the room later. I'll add a table and a stool for you later. "

Du Jinning really had no patience to sit with a group of brats, shaking his head and not being able to learn a few words every day.She shook her head: "No, grandfather will be unhappy. Uncle, please don't make trouble with grandfather because of me. "

Without waiting for Du Yinsheng to speak, she raised her smiling face: "Uncle, I have finished learning the few books you gave me. I also asked my mother to teach me to write the characters on them. I also use The pen, ink, paper and inkstone you gave me have written a story. Guess what..."

Following Du Yinsheng into the house, she twittered like a little sparrow, but her voice was very low: "I took my mother to sell stories in the county, and it sold for two taels of silver." Out of two taels of silver, he waved it in front of Du Yinsheng, and said, "I sold the story book, and I planned to buy something to honor my uncle and grandmother, and exchange it for copper coins to pay back your one hundred Wen. But the silver We were seen, my mother and I were afraid of being watched, so we didn't dare to buy anything, so we hired a mule cart with the money you gave us. When we go back to the county, I will pay back the money and make up for it to my uncle. and a gift from my great-aunt."

Du Yinsheng's eyes were fixed on the ingot of silver, and it took him several breaths to digest Du Jinning's previous sentence. As for the latter sentence, he didn't listen at all.After digesting it, he was full of disbelief: "What did you say? You learned the words above, wrote a story, and sold it for two taels of silver?"

Du Jinning nodded, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face: "If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother." Tilting his head, he added, "There is also Brother Zhang, that is Zhang Hongwen, a relative of your family. He is also here today. At the bookstore, I saw that I was selling scripts."

Du Yinsheng stared at Du Jinning, feeling incredible.

He felt that this was a child's nonsense, and it was completely impossible.But when Du Jinning mentioned Chen's family and Zhang Hongwen, he pretended to be serious, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

"How did you write that story? Do you remember? Recite it to your uncle." He tried his best to look indifferent and said to Du Jinning.

Now that Du Jinning had told Zhang Hongwen, he knew that Du Yinsheng would definitely go to Zhang Hongwen for verification at night, and Zhang Hongwen would definitely say how the script was written.Since she couldn't hide it, she didn't refuse at all, and recited the words in a crisp voice.

She has a good memory book, and the story book is written by herself, every word and every sentence, so that she can't even stutter, and it's not smooth.Du Yinsheng's head was still in knots at this moment, and he had to stop when he heard her uttering words as quickly as beans poured out of a tube: "Wait a while, wait a while..."

Du Jinning stopped talking, blinked and looked at Du Yinsheng.

Du Yinsheng recalled in his mind the one or two hundred words that Du Jinning had memorized, his eyes slowly widened, and he looked at Du Jinning as if he didn't know him.

Du Jinning shrank back uneasily, and said, "Uncle, don't look at me like that, I'm scared." As he said that, he raised his arms blindly to block Du Yinsheng's gaze.

This childish behavior brought Du Yinsheng back to his sanity.

"You really wrote these yourself?" Du Yinsheng still couldn't believe it.

Du Jinning put down his arms, nodded, and took out the nonsense she had told Chen Shi to fool Du Yinsheng: "I, I can read, so I peeked at the scriptbook my grandfather kept in the study..."

She said this timidly, as if she was afraid that Du Chensheng would know that she was being beaten, she paused, and found another reason: "My mother often tells me ghost stories, so I just made up such a story. I heard from my mother that a storybook is very expensive. I don’t want to use my eldest sister’s marriage to pay for it when I get sick..." As she spoke, she lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes vigorously with her fingers.

She even admired the actor's acting skills.

Du Yinsheng's mood, from shock to gradual belief, from belief to sadness, the psychological process in this process is really varied.

He waved to Du Jinning, waited for her to walk in front of him slowly, hugged her into his arms, and murmured: "Good boy, good boy..."

Du Jinning is really not used to being held in the arms of a grown man.She twisted her body uneasily, and asked, "Uncle, you won't tell my grandfather about the fact that I peeked at the script and sold it to make money? He, he will beat me to death. Yin Zi, Grandmother will also want to go back. When I sold the book, I was afraid they would know that you wrote the book on purpose."

Du Yinsheng let go of Du Jinning, and said gently, "Don't worry, uncle and grandpa won't tell them."
