Chapter 183 Talent

Niu Niu opened her eyes wide: "What are you doing by throwing it into the river?"

"Where to throw it?" Brother Shen asked humbly.

Niu Niu said: "Why throw away good clothes? Our family has washed them and put them away."

Brother Shen: "Why are you putting them away? I never wear my clothes a second time."

When Gu Mingda on the side heard this, he thought of the rumors that the masters of wealthy families were like this and only wore new clothes once.

Niu Niu wrinkled her nose when she heard this kind of behavior from wealthy people, and asked in confusion: "Why do you only wear it once and it wears out after just one time?"

Brother Shen originally didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, but after hearing what Niu Niu said, he immediately felt guilty, as if he had done something wrong.

"I...I don't know...it's just that this is how my family has always done it..."

Niu Niu said: "In our village, many people are reluctant to throw away their patched clothes."

Brother Shen felt more and more guilty and said, "I...then I will wear patched clothes next time too!"

Niu Niu looked at him in surprise and asked: "You have good clothes, why do you wear patched clothes?"

Brother Shen didn't know what to say, so he hesitated and said, "This...this should make you happier?"

Niu Niu felt even more strange: "I'm not unhappy."

Brother Shen suddenly looked confused and asked, "I thought you wanted me to be frugal."

Niuniu added: "Whether you are frugal or not is your own business."

Gu Mingda listened for a while and roughly understood where the communication between the two went wrong.

"Brother Shen, Niuniu doesn't mean to accuse you, so don't worry too much." Gu Mingda explained.

Brother Shen stood there, tilting his head and thinking for a long time, and said: "But I don't know what to do now. I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing what Niuniu said, I suddenly felt that it would be like throwing it away after wearing it once. It’s very inappropriate.”

He only experienced the life of ordinary people for one day, and he felt all the difficulties that ordinary people had to face. Clothes were worn once and then thrown away, and the diet had to be exquisite. The extravagant style in the past was just like a dream. .

Niu Niu said: "Brother Shen, you can wear the same clothes several times. You can also give old clothes that you don't want to wear to others. This way you can save fabric and do good things."

Brother Shen immediately said: "Okay, I will listen to you, I like to do good deeds the most."

Niu Niu then said: "The dirty clothes on your hands, let's wash them clean. I will teach you how to wash clothes. Let me tell you, I can wash clothes! I used to wash the clothes of the whole family!" "

Brother Shen didn't hear the weirdness in Niu Niu's words. Instead, he nodded vigorously and praised: "Niu Niu, you are so awesome!"

Gu Mingda glanced at his daughter distressedly and secretly thought that the Zhang family's current ruin might be retribution for torturing Niu Niu in the first place.

After Zhang Yunniang got brother Shen's medicine, her seasickness was almost better. She was able to get out of bed and walk that day. Seeing that her mother was well, Niuniu became even better to brother Shen and wished she could teach him all her life wisdom. .

Most other people would only find these commonplace things funny, but Brother Shen found them like treasures.

Brother Shen was not smart enough and had poor learning ability. He happened to meet Niu Niu. Niu Niu was a child herself, so naturally she would only teach Brother Shen in a child's way. Niu Niu also had a good temper and would teach her twice if she couldn't learn it once. I taught him until he learned it, without any impatience in the whole process.

Brother Shen actually learned a lot of things like this.

He went from being a young man who never touched the spring water to being able to light a stove and boil water by himself. He also knew how to tidy up the bedding in the house so that it would not be as messy as a pig's nest.

Brother Shen didn't feel tired from the work, but found it very interesting.

"Niuniu, you are so awesome, you really know a lot of things!" Brother Shen's praise is also the best reward for Niuniu.

"I'll learn more and teach you slowly in the future." Niu Niu said while clenching her little fists.

Brother Shen looked at the little teacher with admiration.

The boat was bumpy and reading hurt his eyes. Gu Mingda simply did not continue studying. Instead, he and Sun Jiaxing stayed with several children all day long and taught them how to compose poetry.

Gu Yan had learned this a long time ago, so he stood aside and said nothing.

Niu Niu also understood. Not only did she learn by herself, but she also took her new friends to learn. At this time, she whispered to Brother Shen: "The virtual and the real should be relative to each other, and the balance should be balanced. Dad said that he should write a river scene. You Understand?"

Brother Shen had been shaking his head before, but this time he nodded. Gu Mingda had broken it into pieces and told him how to compose a poem, and Niu Niu told him again.

He didn't do well in studying at home, and he lost so many teachers because of his anger. Now on the boat, following Gu Mingda and Sun Jiaxing, he was filled with knowledge.

He understood some of the knowledge once Gu and Sun told him about it, but he didn't understand some of it, but if Niu Niu told him one or two more times, he would understand.

Perhaps because these words were so clear, Brother Shen actually felt that he was not so worthless.

"The turbid waves are thousands of white, and the long rivers are thousands of miles yellow." Brother Shen said.

Gu Mingda looked at Brother Shen in surprise.

"What's wrong? Uncle Gu, am I not good at writing?" Brother Shen was a little scared.

Gu Mingda sometimes couldn't understand why Brother Shen, a kid from a rich family, seemed to care so much about what others thought.

"For a beginner, it's already very good. You seem to have a deep sense of color, and you don't have any talent for painting." Gu Mingda praised.

This casual compliment actually made Brother Shen cry with joy.

"Brother Shen, why are you crying? Isn't it a pleasure to be praised?" Niu Niu didn't understand.

After all, every time she was praised by her father, she would be happy for a long time.

"No one has ever praised me for my talent. Everyone in my family thinks I am unlearned and incompetent," said Brother Shen.

Niu Niu said: "Everyone has talent. We just didn't discover it before. I wonder if you can become a particularly great painter. Have you ever learned to paint?"

Brother Shen shook his head and said, "I have even studied the Three Character Classic for a long time, and my family has never had such expectations of me."

"Then let's learn to draw later, and let those who say you have no talent take a good look at it!" Niu Niu encouraged.

Brother Shen instantly had a direction and made some plans in his mind. When he returned to Beijing, he would ask his mother to find a husband for him.

Gu Mingda listened to Niu Niu's poems written by several others. Gu Yan's writing was quite satisfactory, and Niu Niu's writing was quite childlike. Only Gu Zhao scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time, and even wrote a limerick.

"Forget it today, if you still write like this tomorrow, I will deal with you." Gu Mingda said.

Gu Zhao made a sad face and asked, "Are you going to write about the river scene tomorrow?"

"What to write tomorrow will be discussed tomorrow, don't try to be clever." Gu Mingda said.

Brother Shen on the side suddenly said: "It will probably rain tomorrow. Do you want to write about the scene in the rain?"
