Chapter 363

Sheng Chu Xi understood her embarrassment after a little thought.

After finding a clean set of children's pajamas from the donated materials, Erya changed them and ran outside to wash her feet. Then she carefully lay down next to Sheng Chuxi. The peasant woman was lying on the other side of Erya.

The conditions here are poor, so it is not as good as the soft big bed at home.

But after lying down, Sheng Chuxi heard the sound of insects outside. Through the glass window of the living room, you can also see the stars on the night outside. They are very big and bright, as if you could reach for them——

Such beautiful scenery is almost invisible in the city.

She suddenly felt an unprecedented peace.

A young girl's voice came from her ear: "sister Xiaoxi, you smell so sweet..."

Sheng Chu Xi turned his head.

The light in the living room had been turned off, but Erya's eyes reflected the stars outside, just like the stars scattered in the room.

"Sister Xiaoxi, you are so beautiful, just like flowers. All the sisters in big cities are as beautiful as you. Are they as fragrant as you? Compared with you, I feel like a weed..."

The more she spoke, the less her voice became.

Erya is sensitive and fragile at this age.

Sheng Chuxi was keenly aware of her inferiority complex, smiled and touched the little head, and whispered: "Erya, it's not like this. Every girl is a unique treasure, and there's no need to compare with others. Sister Xiaoxi is, and so are you. Do you understand?"

The words fell, and Erya's eyes became bright again.

"Really?"

Sheng Chuxi said with a smile, "of course it's true. Sister Xiaoxi never lies."

Erya couldn't help laughing happily.

After a while, he spoke again.

"Sister Xiaoxi, can you tell me a story?"

Before Sheng Chu Xi could answer, the peasant woman next to her yelled, "dead girl, what time is it now? Why don't you go to bed soon? Don't I tell you stories at ordinary times? Don't bother my teacher Chu Xi!"

Erya murmured, "but you can only tell stories about monsters in the mountains. I'm tired of hearing them..."

Seeing the peasant woman getting angry, Sheng Chu Xi hurriedly said, "elder sister, it's OK. Erya, what story do you want to hear?"

Erya thought, "is there a story about reading and writing?"

"There are a lot of them," said Sheng Chu Xi. "Well, let me tell you the story of Yingxue. It happened in the Jin Dynasty -"

"What was the Jin Dynasty?" Erya asked.

Sheng Chuxi patiently replied, "the Jin Dynasty is nearly twothousand years away."

"Wow!" Erya exclaimed, "twothousand years!"

Sheng Chuxi continued to talk.

"In this distant Dynasty, there was a man named Che Yin. His family was very poor and had no money to buy lamp oil. So he caught many fireflies and put them in white silk bags to use as lamps to read."

"But there are fireflies in summer. What should we do in winter? There is also a student named sunkang. His family is also very poor and can't afford to buy lamp oil. Therefore, when it snows in winter, he runs outside the house with a book and uses the light reflected by the snow to read..."

"They are really hard-working..." Erya murmured, "well, what happened later? Did they become very powerful people after they studied so hard?"

Sheng Chu Xi said, "yes! Later, Che Yin and Sun Kang became very knowledgeable people."

After a long silence, Erya began to speak again. Her tone was full of envy.

"It's good... It's good to read..."

The sound behind is getting quieter and quieter.

When Sheng Chu Xi turned his head to look, Erya was already asleep. The peasant woman did not know when she fell asleep.

The sleeping faces of mother and daughter are almost carved from the same mold.

Sheng Chuxi smiled, gently tucked in the quilt for the little girl beside him, and closed his eyes

......

The next day was full.

After breakfast, Sheng Chu Xi looked at the peasant woman.

"Elder sister, today, our crew is going to the nearby hope primary school for public welfare. I heard that all the children in the village go to school there. Why don't I take Erya there by the way?"

The peasant woman smiled and said, "teacher Chu Xi, thank you for your kindness. However, Erya has something else to do. You should go first."

While they were talking, Erya kept her head down and didn't make a sound.
