Wang Sheng tried hard to identify the fonts in the book, and secretly described in his mind the key points Master Xu received today. Unknowingly, the sun had already set in the west.
Wang Wenqiu came back from the fields and saw Wang Sheng concentrating on reading in the afterglow of the setting sun, and couldn't help but slow down.
When Wang Sheng came back to his senses, he saw Wang Jingjing sitting in his original position, staring at him with round beady eyes. Seeing Wang Sheng come back to his senses, Wang Jingjing said: "Mother, please." I'll call my brother and go eat."
Wang Sheng put down the book in his hand, placed it in a proper place, and followed Wang Jingjing.
In a farmhouse, there is no strict rules on eating or sleeping. Everyone sat around the wooden table and enjoyed dinner.
Except for Liu Zhaoxing who cooked eggs for Wang Sheng alone, the table was full of green vegetables. This was because Wang Sheng said that he could not remember many things clearly. Liu Zhaoxing was afraid that Wang Sheng would break his brain and was tough. Wang Sheng was given food every day and was not allowed to share it with others.
The family was eating and talking about themselves or something in the village.
Wang Wenqiu is usually the first to speak, and today is no exception.
"I went to the field today. The weeding and plowing are almost done, but the irrigation spring water needs to be redirected. The part that was plowed before has dried up due to the weather."
< p> "Then you take advantage of these few days to repair. The weather will get hotter in a while, and it will be more difficult to divert the water."Liu Zhaoxing responded, but his voice changed to talk about what he heard at the entrance of the village. .
"Yesterday, didn't your second brother say that the girl from the second sister-in-law's family got married?" Liu Zhaoxing paused for a moment pretending to be mysterious. No one took the conversation and continued: "It turns out that she married the town. Zhou Tianrui, the youngest son of the shopkeeper of last week's Fuji. "
"A while ago, Zhou Tianrui came to the hillside at the junction of our Wangjia Village and Zhaojia Village to have an outing. It was a coincidence that the second sister-in-law was there that day. We also went to the mountain to pick things up, but we didn’t know how to get them. The two of them didn’t go home that night. The elders of both parties, especially the shopkeeper Zhou Fuji, invited several warriors to go into the mountain to search. When they found them, they were already in the same place, and their clothes were disheveled. "
"Of course the shopkeeper of Zhou Fu Ji didn't admit it. He gave the Zhao family money and wanted to settle the matter."
"The Zhao family was embarrassed and went to Zhou Fu Ji every day. As soon as he sat at the door, Zhou Fuji's business dropped every day."
"Didn't Zhou Fuji ask someone to stop this?" Wang Sheng asked curiously.
After all, affecting a business is like cutting off a person's money or killing one's parents. In most cases, the person would have been beaten and scolded and driven away, and he would not be able to stay for a few days. The business would be bleak.
"Isn't this the ancestor of your second sister-in-law who went there in person? She is a hundred years old and sits there with the crutch that the government personally rewarded last year. Who dares to touch it, especially the shop owner of Zhou Fuji? If there is no reason, you have to recognize it by touching your nose."
No wonder Wang Jiong.This man is also domineering in the clan school. It turns out that he has a relative who has been granted a title. Although he does not have a formal official position, it is the first one in this countryside.
Wang Sheng listened quietly most of the time and tried to collect information, but today he had something to tell him.
"It's my holiday tomorrow, so I wanted to go to town to buy pen and paper. There is a calligraphy class at noon today. I can't do my homework without pen and paper. Fortunately, Master Xu didn't criticize me harshly. He only reminded me to remember it during my holiday. Buy it."
Wang Sheng put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, after finishing the matter, he picked up the rice again and continued to eat.
"Yes, yes. I have been busy for a while, and I forgot about this." Liu Zhaoxing said angrily, but he did not delay the progress of the meal in his hand. Three times five divided by two, the porridge in his hand was Then it's clean.
Actually, this is just because Liu Zhaoxing's bowl is said to be porridge, but it is just water with a few grains of rice floating in it.

Wang Sheng’s lunch dish today had shredded pork. Wang Sheng’s grandmother heard that Wang Sheng had fainted and had just woken up, so she brought a small piece of meat. Liu Zhaoxing was afraid that Wang Sheng would not be able to function properly on the first day of class after recovering from illness, so he added this.
"Let your father take you to the town to buy it tomorrow."
"Mom, send me food in the future. You don't have to prepare my food separately. Whatever you eat at home, you can go to the clan by the way." Just give me one."
When Wang Sheng saw the bowl of fragrant rice at noon today, he knew that given the situation at home, his mother and sister would probably have to drink porridge that looked like water at night.
There was no sound or answer from Liu Zhaoxing, "I'm going to see if all Da Ya's chickens have been put into the cage. Why are they chirping outside?"
"No way."
Wang Jingjing retorted in a low voice. The half-bowl of rice porridge was also a difficult struggle for her. She held a wooden spoon in her hand and brought it to her mouth tremblingly, arriving safely. After reaching his destination, he nodded with satisfaction and shook his feet that couldn't reach the floor.
"Mom, I really can't eat that much food. I feel so stuffed after the daytime meal today. I still stood for a long time. I have to practice calligraphy at noon. I'm afraid it will affect the effect of calligraphy."
Wang Sheng also finished his meal, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and spoke with emotion and reason.
"Okay, okay." Liu Zhaoxing agreed readily and never mentioned going to the courtyard to watch the chickens again.
Wang Jingjing is at the age where she loves to play. She often goes out to play with the neighbor’s children and shares game-related things. I heard that she has recently made a good friend with a sister.
At night, brothers Wang Sheng and Wang Jingjing had gone to bed, and Liu Zhaoxing finished what he was doing and lay down on the bed.
Wang Wenqiu had already closed his eyes and was preparing for sleepiness. Liu Zhaoxing reached out and shook him and said: "Jiujiu, don't sleep, don't sleep. Wake up, I have something to tell you."
Wang Wenqiu then opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Don't call me by my nickname."
"Tweet, Sheng'er said that he was going to buy pen and paper. I was thinking about bringing your second brother some time ago. The hundred cents I got, plus my handkerchief, should be able to be sold for a few cents. Didn't those wild goods not be sold a while ago? You can take them to the town to try your luck, maybe you can sell them."
As Liu Zhaoxing spoke, he got up again, lit the oil lamp and shone on the bricks under the bed, groped under the bed carefully, found a loose place, pried open the bricks and took out the small wooden box.
In the dim light, Liu Zhaoxing found the money he needed, stuffed the money into the clothes that Wang Wenqiu would wear tomorrow, then put the small wooden box back in its place, and then lay down peacefully.
After lying down for a while, Liu Zhaoxing turned around again, and there was a sporadic sound.
Wang Wenqiu couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? You're not sleeping yet. We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Go to bed today."
"I don't want to go to bed." Think about things."
Liu Zhaoxing wanted to continue, but Wang Wenqiu continued, "Tomorrow is a long day, let's think about it tomorrow."
After that, he hugged her. Liu Zhaoxing was kept there, forcing her not to move. Slowly, Liu Zhaoxing fell asleep.
