The grass and the willow trees inadvertently spit out green buds. This qiē indicates that winter is gone and spring is coming.

None of the students in Qingfeng School were interested in appreciating this beautiful scenery, and they were even more listless when school was about to end. After school today, I don't have to come back tomorrow, and I won't be able to come back until the end of the year. After I go back, I can no longer read, read and practice martial arts, and the more important thing is that I will have to live a life of eating the last meal and not the next meal after returning home.

There was a little girl crying and said to Zi Jin: "Sister Zi Jin, you and Mrs. plead, I want to come to the school tomorrow!"

Zi Jin said with a smile: "After you go back, you have to practice often, if you don't practice, what you learned in the school will soon be forgotten." I'll have to check it out at the end of the year. ”

Seeing a group of children crying, Zi Jin couldn't bear it, but she knew that she was powerless to change the status quo, so she hurriedly left after saying a few words. As for what Yuxi said that those children whose parents died can be sent to Zhuangzi, this matter must be notified separately, and it cannot be announced now.

Back in Yunfu, Zi Jin told Yuxi about the fact that many children in the school were reluctant to leave: "I cried so much that I almost shed tears." ”

Yuxi said: "Now that spring is in progress, no one will die of hunger." "Outside the city there are wild plants everywhere, and if you are willing to do it, you won't starve to death. Of course, wild vegetables don't taste good.

There is an old saying that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to simplicity. Ok-hee was also worried about this problem at the time, so the food provided to the children was similar to what they ate at home. That way, you won't feel uncomfortable when you go back. She can help for a while, but she can't help for a lifetime.

Zi Jin didn't express an opinion on this, but said, "Madam, how should I arrange those children I am optimistic about?"

Yuxi said: "Put them together in Zhuangzi and see if they can hold on without being watched." If you can persevere, you will teach them martial arts privately when the time comes, and if you can't hold on, forget it. "If a person who practices martial arts does not have perseverance, no matter how talented he is, he is blind.

Sumire nodded.

Lu Bai went back after eating in the school, and when he got home, he saw that his brother had not returned, so he picked up a branch and wrote on the ground. The writing is so engrossed that he doesn't even know that his brother is back. After writing, seeing that there was an extra figure in the shack, I knew that Lu Zhu was back. Lu Baicai smiled and exclaimed, "Brother, when did you come back?" ”

Lu Zhu's younger brother, whose hair was messy, said, "Come in!" Speaking of which, there were several snowfalls last year, and their shacks did not collapse, which shows the sturdiness of the shack.

Lu Bai looked at Lu Zhu and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" Is something wrong?"

Lu Zhu said: "There is about to be a war, and our tavern is going to close." "The business of these taverns comes mainly from the soldiers in the barracks. Now that there is going to be a war, these soldiers will definitely not be able to come out, and the tavern will naturally close down if there is no business.

Lu Bai said: "Big brother, isn't it like this in previous years? The taverns are closed in March and reopened in June. Now that spring is in full bloom, there are many wild vegetables outside, and tomorrow I will go to the suburbs with my sister-in-law to dig wild vegetables. "Every year in the beginning of spring, Lu Bai will go to dig wild vegetables with his next-door neighbor and come back to eat.

Lu Zhu looked at his younger brother's round face, sighed, and said, "Where can I eat enough wild vegetables? ”

When Lu Bai heard this, he said, "If my brother says such things again, I will be angry." "If it weren't for his brother, where would he be alive now?

After a pause, Lu Bai said: "Brother, we were able to survive in previous years, but this year we have saved money! Brother, tomorrow we will exchange all the money for food." When the time comes, you go outside to find some odd jobs to do, and I will go outside to dig wild vegetables and come back, and I can live well. ”

Lu Zhu saw that Lu Bai was right, and the depressed feelings just now also went away. He looked at Lu Bai so seriously just now, and thought that it would be good if he had the ability to provide Lu Bai with reading and literacy all the time, so he was a little depressed: "Okay, I'll go buy food tomorrow morning." "Don't look at them as just a shack, but the brothers also have a secret base, a secret base for hiding grain.

The tavern hadn't closed yet, and Lu Zhu thought that he could earn a day's wages by working an extra day. Lu Bai volunteered and said: "Brother, I can go and buy food alone!" Seeing Lu Zhu's disapproval, Lu Bai said: "Brother, you forgot about it, I learned martial arts in the school, I can protect myself." ”

After Lu Bai grinded for a long time, Lu Zhu took out the buried money, counted thirty big coins from it, and said: "The current grain is ten big dollars a catty, you go buy three catties first!" Lu Zhu said that this is coarse grain, and the fine grain will have to be doubled, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it. Lu Zhu also had hundreds of money in his hands, but he was not at ease with Lu Bai, so he only let him buy three catties of grain.

When Lu Bai arrived at the grain store, he learned that the price of grain had risen again, and now it was eleven yuan per catty. You have to buy it when the price rises, and Lu Bai bought more than two catties of grain.

After buying food, Lu Bai was ready to go back. As a result, I walked to a relatively remote place and was stopped by two people named Hanako. One of them, Hanako, looked at the grain in Lu Bai's hand, his eyes lit up, he hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time. Today, I finally ran into a doll buying food, how could I let it go: "Put things down, you can go." ”

How could Ah Bai put it down, their brother could eat more than two catties of grain for several days. The two named Hanako are both adults, and although Lu Bai has practiced martial arts for three months, he can't beat them. Fortunately, these two Hanako just wanted food, and they didn't want Lu Bai's life, so they grabbed the food and left.

The pain in the body is a small thing, the point is that the food is snatched away. went to the tavern to find Lu Zhu, and Lu Bai's tears fell: "Brother, the food was robbed by them." Brother, I'm really useless. "This grain is his brother's hard-earned money!

Lu Zhu also felt sorry for the robbed food, but looking at his younger brother with a blue nose and swollen face, he couldn't blame it. patted Lu Bai on the shoulder and said: "Don't cry, the manly man doesn't shed tears, the food is gone, the brother still has some money in his hand, just buy it later." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bai hurriedly said: "Brother, the price of grain has risen again today, and now the grain is eleven wen a catty." If you don't buy it today, it will have to go up tomorrow. ”

Lu Zhu's face was pale, in previous years, the price increase was not as fierce as this year: "I'll tell the shopkeeper now." ”

After taking leave, on the way back, Lu Bai said: "Brother, it's not safe for the two of us to buy food!"

Lu Zhu had already thought about it and said, "After I go back, I will ask Uncle Mo to accompany me to buy it." I also have to tell Uncle Mo and ask them to hurry up and buy food for preparation. "Their brother's shack was also built by Uncle Mo and another uncle.

Lu Bai's eyes were sharp, and he saw Hao Dazhuang from a distance, and said happily at the moment: "Big brother, look, that's Uncle Hao." "Uncle Hao is Hao Dazhuang.

Living up to the surname Hao Dazhuang, he came over this time to send good news to the two brothers. Lu Bai heard Hao Dazhuang say that he should go to Zhuangzi in the countryside, and asked, "Uncle Hao, why don't you go to the school, you want to go to Zhuangzi?"

Hao Dazhuang said with a smile: "This time is different from the school, you have to work in Zhuangzi." Of course, if you don't go, you can do that. ”

Lu Bai didn't think about it and said, "I'll go." "It's a fool not to go. When he went to Zhuangzi, he didn't have to worry about rations, and his eldest brother could eat enough.

Hao Dazhuang smiled and nodded, "Tomorrow and the beginning of the day will meet in the academy! I may not be able to come back until May or June." ”

Lu Bai nodded and said, "I know." Uncle Hao, can we still practice martial arts when we go to Zhuangzi in the countryside?" After today's food robbery, Lu Bai felt that reading and reading was not the most important thing, the most important thing was to learn martial arts to protect himself.

Hao Dazhuang said: "Yes, but this time I went to Zhuangzi, and the practice of martial arts is no longer the same as the school." It's going to be hard then. "What is taught in the school is very simple things. But if you want to be in Zhuangzi, then it is ruthless kung fu.

Lu Bai said: "I am not afraid of hard work. ”

In the same way, Jing Bai also said: "Sister Zijin, I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as I can learn the real skills, I am not afraid of no matter how hard and tired I am. ”

Zi Jin touched Jing Bai's head and said with a smile: "Nacheng, come to the school on time tomorrow." When the time comes, go to Zhuangzi with the others. ”

Jing Bai nodded and said, "Sister Zi Jin, don't worry, I will be at the school on time tomorrow." ”

After Steward Hao got things done, he handed the list to Yuxi and said, "Madam, there are fifty-six children in total. "For example, Jingbai does not belong to the category of fatherless and motherless, so it is not on this list.

Yuxi looked at the list, nodded and said, "Steward Hao, for these children, it's been hard these days. "It's not easy to manage so many children.

Hao Dazhuang said with a smile: "It's not hard. Madam, how should these children be arranged when they arrive at Zhuangzi?"

Yuxi paused for a moment and said, "Steward Hao, there have been a lot of things in the mansion recently, and there is a shortage of manpower, I want you to go back to the mansion to help." The children were handed over to Han Ji to deal with. "Han Ji is more experienced in management, thinks about things comprehensively, and acts very thoroughly.

Hao Dazhuang knew that he was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he knew that Yuxi would not treat these children badly, so he didn't think much about it, and said, "If there is anything, Madame, just ask." ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "You go down first, something will tell you." ”R1148
