Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 104 Don't Order, For Perfect Attendance

Aunt Li looked at Zhang Fulai and his son holding hands and said

"Where are you two, father and son, going?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fulai patted his son's head and said, "Isn't it time to buy vegetables? By the way, I will buy some things for my son to go to school."

When Aunt Li heard this, she said, "Your son is so smart, he must be able to get good grades in school, and you can wait to enjoy the blessings in the future."

Zhang Fulai was very happy when he heard Aunt Li's words, "I borrowed your good words."

Aunt Li said, "I won't disturb you father and son anymore. You hurry up and buy things for school tomorrow."

Zhang Fulai took Zhang Guoqing out of the gate of the Qin Mansion. Zhang Fulai said to Zhang Guoqing, "You see so many people think you can get good results in the exam. You must not let down everyone's expectations!"

When Zhang Guoqing heard this, you said confidently, "Dad, I promise you, I will definitely get a good grade in the exam!"

Zhang Fulai happily touched his son's head when he heard this.

Zhang Fulai did not go shopping first, but brought his son to the bookstore.

As soon as I walked to the door of the bookstore, I met Bao Guowei and his son.

Bao Lai looked at Zhang Fulai and his son and said with some confusion, "Why are you two here?"

Zhang Fulai laughed when he heard this and said, "He will go to the same school as Guowei during my National Day, so I took him to the bookstore to buy some things for study."

Bao Guowei felt a little disappointed when he heard this. After all, he is not the only one who reads books among the people he knows. When he saw his friends playing with him before, he felt superior because he went to school. , he is different from them.

When Bao Lai heard this, he said in surprise, "The reason why my family Guowei was able to go to Zhicheng Middle School, the best elementary school in our place, is entirely because of the master, and what is the reason for your family's National Day?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fulai said, "It's not that my child saw your Guowei go to school, so he went all out to go to school.

So I went to ask the master for this matter, and the master agreed, but the condition is that my family must be in the top ten in the class on National Day, otherwise he will not be allowed to study. "

When Bao Lai heard this, he said, "It's not easy to be in the top ten of the class! Why don't you intercede with the master and lower the conditions a little bit."

When Zhang Fulai heard this, he looked at his child with a smile and said, "Studying is all about getting a good score. If you can't even get into the top ten in the class, then my child might as well learn a craft from me." .

Otherwise, wouldn't he be dawdling in school, and he would accomplish nothing after studying.

But I am very confident in my child. I think he will definitely be able to get into the top ten in the class. "

In this era, universities are very scarce, so the students recruited by universities are basically top students from all over the world.

Bao Lai heard this and said, "I am also very confident in my child. He will definitely be able to get into the top ten in the class."

Zhang Guoqing couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, he knew what Bao Guowei's future would look like in the future.

When Bao Guowei saw Zhang Guoqing shook his head because his father said that he could also be in the top ten of the class, he immediately became angry, "Why are you shaking your head! Do you think I can't be in the top ten of the class!"

Zhang Guoqing didn't expect Bao Guowei to be so sensitive, he could guess what he meant just by shaking his head.

"I was just shaking my head because I was bored. I definitely didn't mean it."

Bao Lai also felt that his son made a big fuss, didn't he just shake his head?Bao Lai couldn't believe that a child had such a mind.

"You two haven't gone to school yet, so how could he mean this by shaking his head? After all, only by going to school can we know whether you can be among the top 10 in the class.

But Dad believes that you will definitely be able to take the top ten exams in the class! "

Bao Guowei also felt that he was wrong. After all, during his contact with Zhang Guoqing, he found that Zhang Guoqing was a very good person.

But he didn't know why he felt this way just now.

Zhang Fulai looked at this scene and said, "Let's not chat here. Let's go to the bookstore first and take a look."

When Bao Lai heard this, he hurriedly said, "Okay."

In this way, the two pairs of father and son came to the bookstore respectively. The boss did not neglect their clothes because at this time, Bao Lai was not as frugal as he was in the future. He only wore a few clothes for For Bao Guowei to study.

Zhang Guoqing's father's salary is twice that of Bao Guowei's father, so Zhang Guoqing's father wears very civilian clothes.

The bookstore owner said, "What did you two come to the store to buy?"

Bao Lai was the first to speak and said, "Buy some reading tools, but I don't know much about this, so I have to ask the boss to introduce them."

The boss heard this and said, "In addition to the pen and the draft book, you can just buy a dictionary. When you enter the school, the teachers in the school will also ask you to buy a dictionary.

As for other schools, it will naturally be posted. "

Bao Guowei's father heard this and said, "So how much is the total of these three things?"

The boss said, "This paper and the draft book are also very particular. The brushes I have here include ordinary brushes and Zou Ziguangge's brushes, and the paper is divided into rough and delicate. Which one do you want?"

Bao Lai heard the boss say this and said, "Then what is their price?"

The owner of the bookstore said, "Ordinary brushes cost about [-] cents, and Zou Ziguangge's brushes cost [-] cents.

As for this draft paper, the fine ones are ten cents, and the rough ones are eight cents. What do you think you want? "

When Bao Lai heard that Zou Ziguangge's writing brush cost two yuan and thirty cents, he couldn't help feeling dizzy.

You must know that his monthly salary is only seven yuan. If he buys a writing brush made by Zou Ziguangge, doesn't it mean that he will lose 1/3 of his monthly salary.

Bao Lai said, "Aren't they all brushes? Why are the Zou Ziguang Pavilion's brushes so much more expensive than ordinary brushes?"

The owner of the bookstore heard this and said, "Since I dare to give you this price, there must be a reason. No matter how fanciful I am, it is better to let your children try the difference between these two brushes for themselves. this way please."

Zhang Fulai also followed the bookstore owner with his son out of curiosity.

The bookstore owner brought them to two tables, which were basically complete with pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

The bookstore owner said, "The table on my left is filled with ordinary brushes, and the one on my right is Zou Ziguangge's brushes. You two can let your children try which side it is." It feels better.”

When Bao Guowei heard this, he hurried to the table where Zou Ziguangge's writing brush was placed to experience it.

Zhang Fulai looked at his son who was still stunned and said, "Why don't you hurry up and experience which kind of writing brush is better? This way it will be easier to decide which kind of writing brush to buy."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head when he heard this and said, "Dad, we just need ordinary brushes. After all, it's not easy for dad to make money, and it's not like ordinary brushes can't write!"

Hearing Zhang Guoqing's words, the owner of the bookstore said to Zhang Fulai, "You really gave birth to a good son, and he already loves you at a young age.

It’s not like the one in my house, which is already so big, and only knows to ask me for money, without thinking about my hard work in making money. "

Hearing the words of the owner of the bookstore, Zhang Fulai said, "My child has been very sensible since he was a child. I originally wanted him to inherit my craft, but I didn't expect him to study. What did you say that he will become a high-ranking official after studying?" You are very filial to me."

At the end of the story, Zhang Fulai couldn't hide the smile on his face. When the bookstore owner heard this, he said with envy, "Just because of your child's filial piety, I think your child will definitely be able to get into a good school in the future." College, and then become a high official."

Zhang Fulai smiled from ear to ear when he heard the bookstore owner's words, although he knew that the bookstore owner was just saying some stage words.

But he still couldn't help but want to be happy in his heart. After all, what a parent likes most is the recognition of his child by others.

Listening to the words of the bookstore owner and Zhang Fulai, Bao Lai looked at his son who was writing calligraphy, and couldn't help but sigh.

He originally had no idea about his son trying out the brush, but after comparing him with Zhang Guoqing, he really longed for his son to be as sensible as Zhang Guoqing.

Zhang Fulai said to his son Zhang Guoqing, "Try these two brushes first, which one is better?"

Zhang Guoqing heard this and said, "I just need an ordinary brush."

Zhang Fulai said, "I know you only want an ordinary brush, but the owner of the store asked you to try which of these two brushes is better, and I also want to know which of these two brushes is better, so you can try it." Give it a try."

Zhang Guoqing didn't refuse when he heard this, but because Bao Guowei was still testing pens on the table on the right, Zhang Guoqing could only come to the table with ordinary brushes on the left to test pens.

In Zhang Guoqing's previous life, he learned brushes specifically. Although this body does not have the muscle memory to use brushes, Zhang Guoqing still writes well.

The owner of the bookstore came to Bao Guowei and found that Bao Guowei was just drawing a ghost. Seeing this, the owner of the bookstore couldn't help shaking his head. The pens on his table are good ink and ink. Isn't it a waste of good ink?

Then the bookstore owner came to Zhang Guoqing's side and took a look, and was a little surprised.

Because Zhang Guoqing is writing at this moment and he is writing in a clear and orderly manner. Although the calligraphy is not very beautiful in his opinion, it is extremely good for a person who is new to brushes.

Seeing that the bookstore owner was looking at Zhang Guoqing, Bao Luo and Zhang Fulai were a little confused, so the two of them also came to the bookstore owner's side and followed the bookstore owner's line of sight.

They found Zhang Guoqing writing. From the eyes of the two of them, Zhang Guoqing's writing was quite good.

Bao Lai said to Zhang Fulai enviously, "Fulai, when did your son learn to write, and he can write so beautifully?"

Zhang Fulai was actually very puzzled, his son had never been exposed to this kind of knowledge!

"Son, when did you learn these words?"

When Zhang Guoqing heard this, he said calmly, "I saw these words from Master Qin."

The owner of the bookstore was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "You just took a look and wrote it down?"

After hearing this, Zhang Guoqing pretended to think for a while and said, "Almost! The characters I wrote look like the characters I have seen before, but I don't know what they are called."

The owner of the bookstore heard this and said, "It's amazing to be able to write down these words. If you really memorize the pronunciation of these words, then I have to wonder if you were born knowing it." people."

Zhang Guoqing was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

The owner of the bookstore looked at Bao Guowei who was drawing talismans on the paper and couldn't help but said, "Okay, the writing test is almost done, you should also try an ordinary writing brush."

Hearing this, Bao Guowei put down Zou Ziguangge's brush, ran to his father's side and said, "Father, I want the brush I used just now!"

When Bao Lai heard this, he immediately became worried.
"You haven't tried the ordinary brush yet, how do you know that the ordinary brush is worse than the one you used?"

Bao Guowei heard this and said, "It is definitely more useful than ordinary brushes."

The reason why Bao Guowei wanted this Zou Ziguangge writing brush was because he hoped to bring this writing brush to the school, so that those in the school could envy him.

And when his father took him back to the village, he could show off to his friends in the village.

When the bookstore owner saw this scene, he couldn't help but compare Bao Guowei and Zhang Guoqing. He found that Zhang Guoqing was really too sensible.

Bao Guowei saw that his father obviously didn't want to buy it, so he said, "The things I use for studying must be the best, so that I can read well. If I use bad things, I will definitely not be able to read well." of!"

Bao Guowei's father, Bao Lai, was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He felt that what Bao Guowei said seemed to make sense.

"Okay, let's buy Zou Ziguangge's brush and the delicate draft paper, but you have to remember, you have to study hard, understand?"

At this time, Bao Guowei could no longer hear other words clearly in his mind, and his mind was filled with the image of himself holding a brush to show off to the people around him.
