Chapter 30 A meaningful lesson

It was not until evening that Uncle Xu and Xu Chunsheng came back from the town. There were still several children sitting on the oxcart. Before Xiaowu waited for the oxcart to stop, he jumped out of the oxcart in a hurry and walked towards He ran into the hall, shouting, "Grandpa, sister, I'm back!" Mr. Xu came out of the house and said with a straight face, "Xiao Wu, you have gone to school now, you can't be so rash anymore, you have such a temper It’s time to change it!”

After hearing what Grandpa said, Xiao Wu said aggrievedly, "Grandpa, I was not like this in school. Every time I saw a teacher, I had to salute and greet you. You don't know that I can't even straighten my waist. You won't let me go home." Just relax..."

At this time, Xu Wenwu also brought his brothers in and said, "Grandpa, don't talk about Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is doing well in the academy, and the master even praises him for knowing etiquette!"

Xiaowu scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Brother, didn't Master praise you too? He praised you for being diligent in studying and asking questions. He said that if you don't understand something, just ask Master. Unlike other students who don't understand something in class, they don't understand it after class." I'm embarrassed to ask Master, because I'm afraid Master will scold them for being stupid, so many of them just pretend to understand. Only the eldest brother did this, Master is very happy!"

After hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your elder brother did the right thing. You have to learn from your elder brother, you know?"

Several younger ones also agreed in unison.Qibao came in carrying a basket of fruits and said, "Brothers, come over and eat some fruits to cushion your stomach. Grandma and the others are already making dinner."

When several children saw that their sister had brought so many fruits, they all gathered around, holding their favorite fruits, and chattering to their sister about the new things they saw in the academy on the first day, and also about Master What knowledge was mentioned...

Qibao also smiled and listened carefully to what his brothers said, echoing from time to time. After they all finished speaking, Xu Wenwu said, "Okay, while it's still bright, take your books and go to the yard to review your homework. I’ll write another big letter later and give it to me when I’m done.” Several people still listened to the elder brother’s words very much, so they all agreed.

Uncle Xu said to the old man, "Dad, Chunsheng and I went to that brick kiln today. We have made an agreement with the boss there and paid a deposit of 50 taels. The boss said that the first batch of green bricks can be shipped over tomorrow morning. .”

Grandpa Xu said, "The problem with the green bricks has been solved, but should we go to the mountains to cut the wood ourselves, or should we buy it from a timber dealer?"

Uncle Xu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow is the day to deliver food to Zuixian Tower. I'll ask shopkeeper Tong. He Lu Ziguang should know."

Mr. Xu said, "Yes, then I'll leave this matter to you."

After a while, Mrs. Wang shouted, "It's time to eat."Several boys were sitting at the dining table in a hurry. Wang said with a smile, "What's wrong? Didn't any of them eat lunch?"

Xu Zihao said, "Milk, it's not that I haven't eaten it. You don't know that the food in the college canteen is tasteless. It's either radish or Chinese cabbage. It's not as delicious as what we cook at home."

Xu Erbo said, "I think you have spent two good days and you don't know what your last name is? Why are you so miserable when others eat so much? Think carefully about the life our family lived before. People can't forget their roots!"

After hearing what their father and second uncle said, the boys all lowered their heads in shame. Yes, even radishes were not available every day at home. They cannot remember that they had eaten them just because their living conditions at home were better. It’s so painful that if I didn’t have my sister, I wouldn’t be able to eat enough even if I drank brown rice...

Xu Wenwu said, "Second uncle, I remember it. I will never do it again. I will always keep it in my heart." After saying that, he bowed to the second uncle. The second uncle gave himself a meaningful lesson today. class.When the family members saw this, they all nodded with satisfaction. Wang said, "Okay, the children all know what is wrong, so don't talk about it anymore. The food should be cold." She motioned to the old man to use his chopsticks.

After the old man moved his chopsticks, others started eating one after another.

After the meal, Xu Chunsheng went into the yard and said, "Uncle, you see it's getting late now, and the workers have to go home for dinner. How should we arrange it?"

Mr. Xu slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that from now on, as long as it's dinner time, the workers will go home from work and come back tomorrow." After Xu Chunsheng received the letter, he went out to greet the workers so that they could go home for dinner.

Qibao took out the vegetables in the space that would be given to Zuixianlou tomorrow, sprinkled some spiritual spring water, and then came to the yard to watch his brothers writing and reading.Gradually, the sky got dark, and Qibao said, "Brothers, it's getting dark soon. It's not good for your eyes to read any more. Go inside and have a rest!" The brothers obediently put away their books and went back to their rooms to rest. .

Early the next morning, Qibao led her brothers to train as usual. She did not tell her brothers that she was already learning the exercises because they hadn't trained for two days yet. She planned to teach them the exercises after a month of training. , of course he will not let them practice the same technique as him. Not to mention that this technique is only suitable for women to practice, and brothers cannot practice it without aura.

After breakfast, Uncle Xu moved several baskets of vegetables to the oxcart, and several boys also got on the oxcart. It seemed a bit crowded, but they reluctantly sat down.Seeing this, Qibao thought about whether to buy another ox cart or horse-drawn carriage, but he still shook his head. It was not like this every day. Even if he bought it, his yard was not big and there was no extra place to put it in. When the house was built, Okay, let’s talk about it later.

At noon, several carriages came to the village, and the villagers came out to watch the excitement. Many people saw the carriages for the first time. At this time, a man driving the carriages in front asked about the location of Xu Yifeng's house. After thanking him, he walked towards the villagers. Came over in the direction pointed to.

Xu Chunsheng immediately greeted him and said, "Why did you ask me to deliver it in person? Come and have a drink of water and have a rest."

The man said politely, "Brother, look at where it is more suitable to put these bricks so that I can unload the truck."

Xu Chunsheng pointed to an open space and said, "Just put it here." Then he turned around and shouted to the workers, "Come here to help!" The man and the people behind him unloaded the green bricks. , neatly put together.

After unloading all the things, the man cupped his fists and said, "Brother Chunsheng, there are still a lot of things to do in the brick kiln. My father can't handle it alone, so it's inconvenient for me to stay here. If you need anything in the future, come to the brick kiln to find me." Xu said. Chunsheng smiled and agreed, then took a few steps to stop, watched the carriage go away, and then turned back to the construction site.

Uncle Xu also came back from the town at this time, handed the money to Wang, and said to the old man, "Dad, I have told shopkeeper Tong about the situation at home. Shopkeeper Tong really knows the businessman who sells timber. Let's Next time I'm free, shopkeeper Tong will personally take me to meet the businessman."

Mr. Xu nodded and said, "As long as you have the clues, wait a few days. There is still some time before the house is built. It's still too late..."
