Chapter 1889

The village head finds Qixuan, hoping that he can teach all the children in the village to read and read.

Qixuan refused without hesitation: "village head, I don't have time to teach them." Because he is an outsider, it is normal for the villagers in AGA village to reject him. However, the bullying and even calculation made him exclude all these people.

The village head said, "I can let the villagers do your work for you. You just need to teach them to study."

Qixuan shook his head and said, "no, we can do our own work at home."

The village head was defeated.

Seeing that his father looked a little ugly, Nico asked, "what's the matter, daddy?"

The village head looked at Nico and said, "do you know how much it costs for Aya's little brother-in-law to study in the county for a year?" Aya is Suqi's daughter. Because she is beautiful, she was taken by the mayor's eldest son and married back home. It was also because of this relationship that Suqi moved to the town with his family.

"How much?"

The village head took a puff of smoke and then vomited out: "the money given to my husband alone is twenty Liang a year."

Nico's eyes were wide open: "so many?" Their whole family is busy all year round, and they can save twelve or eighty-eight Liang even if they are successful. If the annual success is not good, we have to use our savings.

The poorer the place is, the more expensive it is to study. Ordinary people can't afford to read at all. Of course, in the beginning, Nico and EGA didn't agree with Aihua's study because they thought it was useless to study. They didn't know that it would cost so much money to study

"Plus the ink and brush, it costs at least thirty Liang a year." Such a large expenditure, not to mention the ordinary people, is beyond the affordability of a small rich family. After all, studying is not a matter of one or two years, but ten or eight years or even longer.

Nico couldn't help touching the back of his head and said, "Dad, Ai Hua is studying with Han brothers. Don't we take advantage of it?"

The village head said, "I wanted him to teach the villagers, but he refused. Nico, you have a good relationship with him. Go and talk to him

He has taken a big advantage and wants him to teach the whole village. This is not an inch. Nico didn't dare to say anything in his heart. He just shook his head and said, "Dad, I don't want him to teach ADA. Dad, I won't ask for this. " ADA, that's his nephew.

Thinking of what happened before, the village head sighed: "don't take the initiative to talk about it with anyone."

Ai Hua saw that his grandparents and parents didn't give him any support. Since then, he has been honest in class.

In late November, it snowed heavily in AGA village. After that, Qixuan put his mind on calligraphy and painting besides practicing martial arts. I was so involved in painting that I left Ai Hua alone.

Gu Jiu couldn't see it any more. He said to Ai Hua, "if you have something you don't understand, you can ask me."

It's windy on the mountain. When I go out, the cold wind blows on my face. It really hurts like I've been cut by a knife. Aunt Dou did not dare to go out, even if she wanted to go out, she would cover her face.

The room burned charcoal, but it was still very cold. Qixuan thought for a long time, but when he was ready to paint, he couldn't help. I can't help it. It's too cold. My hands are numb.

Qixuan put down his pen and sat down to bake: "if only there were earthworms." The study at home is as warm as spring in winter.

Gu Jiu leaned on the rocking chair and cocked his legs, like an old man: "only very rich people can burn earthworms." Ordinary rich families can't afford to burn earthworms. It's too expensive.

Qixuan said, "I know." Living here for nearly a year, not to mention the dragon is charcoal, many people are reluctant to burn. Everything is lying in bed, which can not only save charcoal, but also save food.

In addition to busy farming, AGA village has two meals a day.

When his hands were warm, Qixuan continued to paint.

Gu Jiu looked at his concentration and nodded his head. No matter how well the painting is, he is satisfied with his attitude. When you do something, you should devote yourself wholeheartedly.

Ai Hua handed Gu Jiu 20 big characters and said, "grandfather Jiu, do you think it's ok?"

I've just written. I don't want to look good. So Qixuan asked Ai Hua to write neatly. If you don't meet the requirements, you have to rewrite it.

Gu Jiu nodded after reading, indicating that he could go back.

Ai Hua didn't leave this time. Instead, he stood in front of Gu Jiu and said, "grandfather Jiu, I want to learn from you. Ninth grandfather, can you teach me? "

Gu Jiu said with a smile, "do you want to learn, or did your father ask you to learn?"

"Ninth grandfather, I want to learn." He saw Qi Xuan to practice of gun technique, prestige extremely. It's much better than his father's boxing.

Gu Jiu is still smiling: "teach you can, but once you start learning, you can't give up halfway, otherwise I will break your leg."

Ai Hua is really want to learn, now stand straight: "nine grandfather, I will learn, never give up halfway."

Gu bowed at nine o'clock.

Ai Hua thought that he could learn martial arts. He was very happy. He is still imagining that when he learns martial arts, he will be able to fight all over the village. As a result, Gu Jiu asked him to stand on the stake and didn't teach him martial arts at all.

The first day, I squatted for a quarter of an hour. My legs were not my own. I was trembling when I walked.

Gu Jiu said, "have a rest and go inside." He wasn't so enthusiastic about taking an apprentice. He just agreed to teach Ai Hua when he was bored. If you can't stick to it, it doesn't take much effort. But if he sticks to it, he will teach hard.

Children, how can they bear such hardships. The next day, AI Hualai couldn't survive at home, but he was dragged by Yi Jia.

Qixuan looks at Ai Hua's sad cry and laughs. When he was so old, he didn't want to practice martial arts, but his parents forced him to. But fortunately, they had a hard time practicing martial arts when they were young, so the four brothers were all in good health and didn't get sick since they were young.

Today, Ai Hua finished writing big characters and had to go to the station again. Qixuan said with a smile: "as long as you are good at studying and practicing martial arts, I will take you to the county town next spring." If we blindly use force to suppress, sooner or later children will lose interest in learning. Appropriate encouragement can arouse his enthusiasm for learning.

Every time Nico came back from town, he would bring delicious food to his brother and sister. Therefore, Ai Hua is not interested in the county, he wants to go to the town.

Knowing what he thought, Qixuan couldn't laugh or cry: "the county has more delicious food." This child has to take him out to see the outside world from time to time.

Ai Hua didn't believe it: "really?"

Ai Hua has never been out of the mountains since he was so big. In his mind, there was no better place in the world than the town.

Qixuan touched his head and said, "you'll see for yourself then."

Ai Hua was very happy, but he turned to be depressed: "the mountain is too dangerous. My grandfather and my father won't let me out of the mountain."

"That's OK. Let your father go out with us then." People should do what they are good at. In the future, he made a living by painting, so he stopped hunting in the mountains. Hunting is so dangerous that he doesn't want to take risks.

Ai Hua went home and said this to Nico: "Dad, my husband told me to take me to the county in the spring of this year. Dad, can I go? " When he said this, he looked at Nico with a hopeful face.

Nico nodded and said, "yes. But you have to study hard and practice martial arts, or I won't take you. "

Ai Hua was so happy that he turned around.

In the twinkling of an eye, it's new year's Eve. There is an old saying in the central plains that it's a good new year if you have money, but it's in June in AGA village.

The customs of every place are different. Qixuan has known it for a long time.

On this day, aunt Dou made a table full of good dishes and made a pot of dumplings. If you can't finish it, you can save it for the first day of the lunar new year. It's called surplus every year.

While eating dumplings, aunt Dou suddenly thought of her son Yikang. After the new year, my son will be four years old, and I don't know whether to remember her mother.

New year's Eve was originally the year of reunion, but now she doesn't even know her son's height, stature, and fatness. Think of here, Dou aunt can't help but red eyes.

Qixuan put a piece of fish in aunt Dou's bowl and said, "don't be sad. You will definitely see Yikang next year."

When Aunt Dou heard this, she looked at Qixuan, then turned her head and looked at Gu Jiu: "can we go back next year?" What Qixuan said doesn't count. Gu Jiu said it.

Gu Jiu said, "if you want to go back, I can send someone to send you back after the Chinese New Year." As for Qixuan, the Empress Dowager must agree to go back.

Aunt Dou hesitated and asked, "can I come back after I have seen Yikang?"

Gu Jiu shook his head: "if you leave, you can't come back."

Aunt Dou resisted and said, "then I won't go back." Although the life here is very hard, she thinks it's just a normal life. It's not like being in the palace, intriguing and tiring.

Qixuan heard this and looked at Aunt Dou, but he didn't say it at last.

In the evening, Qixuan looked in the direction of the capital and said, "father and mother, I hope my child will be with you next year and spend New Year's Eve with you."

Gu Jiu stood by and didn't speak. According to the empress dowager, at least let Xuan Wang stay here for three years. Therefore, Xuan Wang's wish must be defeated.

Yun Qing also wants Qixuan very much. He lies in bed at night and says to Yuxi, "Yuxi, Qixuan has been changed. Let him come back next year to spend the new year with us."

Yuxi shook his head and said, "no, what if I come back and change back to the original?"

"When are you going to let him come back?" With that, Yunqing said: "I'm so old. If you don't let him come back early, I'm afraid I won't see him before I die." Tongcheng and the capital are going back and forth in one round trip. It's a quick journey, day and night, and it's half a month. But it's hard to walk in Sichuan. It will take a month and a half to get back when you get the news. I'm really sick. I can't survive that long.

When I'm old, I can't hear more than death. Yuxi said with a black face: "don't worry, the disaster has been left for thousands of years. I'm fine. You can't die."

Cloud Qing see jade Xi angry, pull her hand said: "jade Xi, I think a Xuan." At the side, see him absurd, angry, do not want to see. Leave so long, and miss the panic.

Yuxi sighed and said, "I miss him too. But he can't come back until his painting is successful. If it's not the same as last time, his life will be wasted. "

Cloud Qing is silent next way: "listen to you."
