Chapter 29: Teaching
Although there are some regrets, in this era when there are no mobile phones, telephones, and the Internet, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find someone, and there is no way to do it. I can only look forward to seeing you next time.
After writing a short term for Huang Zichu with a lack of interest, Liu Yiyi went home with the words that Xiao Wu had framed.
When I got home, I found that there was another ploughing cow in the house, and Lao Liu was feeding it medicine. Liu Yiyi put down the basket and asked Lao Liu, "Dad, this cow was just delivered?" Which one? β
"Well, it's Uncle Wang of the East Village, and you sent it in the morning not long after you left." Liu said honestly: "According to what you said, I asked Nijo to sign a contract with him, the term is three days, and the cost is two." The contract is now in the hall, you can go and take a look. β
"Well, this one isn't busy." Yanagichichi nodded. Looking at the five sick cows in the courtyard, I felt that the cow tent seemed to be a little crowded, and it seemed inappropriate to gather all these sick cows together. He opened his mouth and said to Liu honestly: "Dad, let's pull these farming cattle away in a while, and it is best to have an interval of about five steps between each cow." The place where each cow is located is also sprinkled with boiling water or spirits, and it is important to keep it clean and dry. The spread of intestinal disease is nothing more than drinking water and eating and drinking. Be careful when feeding, and don't let them spread to each other. β
"Well, when there are ploughing cattle who are cured, there is no need to wait for the deadline on the contract, and they will be sent back immediately, our family is small, and there will be more ploughing cattle in the future. Also, when you return it, it is best to inform the owner of the cow of the precautions I just mentioned, and it is enough for us to earn a cow once, and it is not beautiful to have more. β
"Makes sense." Liu nodded honestly in response. In doing so, they will not lose the benevolent duty that their old Liu family has always had.
"Then I'll pull the cow away first, and Dad, go boil some boiling water." Liu Yiyi started to take the cow. Lao Liu also came up to help, and said, "It's enough for your mother to boil water, let's separate the cattle first." Well, let's just tie them all to the stakes in the yard fence. This will leave a larger space. β
"Well, that's what Daddy said." Liu Yiyi agreed. Holding the cow, he casually asked Lao Liu, "Isn't Nijo in the house?" Why don't you see him come out? β
Liu said honestly: "Erjo, I'm out." In the past two days, because of the contract, there was not much paper left at home, so I asked him to go outside to buy some paper and ink. Calculate the time, and he should be back. β
seemed to be in response to Lao Liu's words, and as soon as Lao Liu's words fell, Liu Erjo appeared in front of the house with a swaying body.
Liu Yiyi saw that he was wearing a cotton robe that he had just bought yesterday and a calligraphy hat, which was the most popular contemporary calligraphy, and at first glance he really looked a bit intellectual. It's a pity that he is not yet fifteen years old, and he is still a little child.
Seeing that Liu Ichichi was at home, Liu Erjo pushed the door in with joy on his face, walked quickly to Liu Yiyi's side, and said, "Big brother, are you back?" Is my apprenticeship ready? I'm going to go tomorrow! β
Liu Yiyi unhurriedly tied the cow and said with a smile: "How dare I forget such a big thing as your apprenticeship, I have already prepared everything for you, it is in the basket, you can go and see it yourself." β
"Huh! Thank you, big brother! Yanagi Nijo happily ran to the basket. I saw that in addition to a few New Year's goods, there was also a pair of calligraphy and paintings that were framed very plainly. There was inevitably some disappointment on his face.
He unwrapped the outer unwrapping and unfolded the rice paper, looking careless, but when he saw the neat and extraordinary couplets on the rice paper, his face showed a surprised expression.
"Three-foot square, three-inch tongue, three-inch pen, three thousand peaches and plums; Ten years of trees, ten years of wind, ten years of rain, 100,000 beams! He turned to look at Liu Yiyi, who was still holding a cow, and asked, "Big brother!" This is what you wrote? Well, it must be, big brother, you're so talented! I adore you! β
"Hehe," Liu Yiyi laughed, and said, "Compared to those precious silver silk things, do you think your teacher Wang Xiancheng will like this kind of literary and ink gift more?" β
"However, the eldest brother is more thoughtful." Liu Erjo said with some embarrassment: "The younger brother was still a little disgusted just now, and he was a little disappointed with the eldest brother's gift, which is really ashamed." β
Liu Yiyi said to Liu Ertiao with a little seriousness at this time: "Ertiao, you are a scholar, and now you are fortunate to become Wang Xiancheng's protΓ©gΓ©, and you will definitely become an official in the future, and you will circle between various officials and ordinary people." Therefore, you must remember that whether in officialdom or in daily affairs, you must not have this kind of heart to judge people and things by their appearance. If you know that a man cannot be seen, how can the sea measure him? Anyone or anything can be a powerful arm for you if it is used properly. So you have to have a humble attitude towards everyone. In this way, you will not be deceived by some appearances, and you will be able to do things easily. β
"What the eldest brother taught is that Nijo remembered it." Yanagi Erjo respectfully bowed to Yanagichi. And took Liu Yiyi's words to heart deeply. He knew that these words could not be said by the gentleman in the private school and the old willow who had planted the land all his life. Only he, a magical big brother, would admonish him and guide him so sincerely.
"Well, alright, you put away the words and go to the house to read the book." Seeing that Liu Erjo was so knowledgeable, Liu Yiyi nodded with satisfaction. said: "My father and I are here for family affairs, you don't have to worry about it, you just have to read the book well." β
"Yes, big brother. Then I'll go in. Liu Erjo put away his things and went into the house to warm his book.
After Liu Ertiao entered the house, Liu honestly sighed and said, "Yiyi, we owe it to you in our family, otherwise I won't be able to teach him these things no matter what." The Liu family has you, it is the blessing of my old willow. β
Liu Yiyi was silent. The things in officialdom are indeed not understood by people like Lao Liu, who are shaking in the land all day long. Liu Erjo still has a long way to go in the future. What he just said was just scratching the surface.
"Dad, we are all a family, everything I do is for our Liu family, you don't have to say such things." Liu Yiyi changed his words and said: "For now, it is important for us to heal these sick cattle first, two yuan per cow, I believe that after this plague, we can earn at least two hundred yuan, or even more." When we have the money, it's not too late for us to make some plans. β
"Hmm. You have a point. Lao Liu nodded and said, "I'll go peel more garlic, and by the way, let your mother boil a few more pots of boiling water." Also, Xia Dezhang's two cows have improved significantly, and it is estimated that they will be cured by night, so you can send them to him then, I don't want to see him. β
"Well, got it, Dad. I'll go there in the evening. The corners of Liu Yiyi's mouth hooked up a smile. Xia Dezhang still has five silver coins waiting for him to get, and his savings will be a few points more. I just don't know if Xia Dezhang will regret it when he learns that he only accepts two from others.
