Chapter 114 Baiju is not a chicken

Jiang Yan suppressed her inner impulse and repeatedly told herself that she was just an illiterate rural widow. Under everyone's blazing gaze, Jiang Yan quickly rolled the paper balls into small balls, and then cut Xiaodouzi's

I took the small backpack and threw it in.

"There are four paper balls, two words means a win, three words means a miss, every four people reach out and draw at the same time."

The small baskets were woven very densely, and the paper balls thrown in could only be seen from the mouth of the basket. In this way, two out of every four people would be eliminated. There were more than twenty people in the yard, and she was the one who was drawn at the end.

The number of people needed.

Everyone looked at Aunt Jiang in confusion. They knew about drawing lots, but they didn't know that it could also be used in recruiting workers. After hearing this, everyone felt that it was reasonable, and they were eager to give it a try.

Following Jiang Yan's method, the winning bidders were quickly selected, each one smiling brightly and excited as if they had won some big prize. There were twelve people in total, and Jiang Yan accepted them all.

Those who didn't win the bid were all dejected, lamenting their bad luck one by one, but they all won the prize with their own hands. They could only pat the stinky hand that drew the paper ball bitterly, and left the small house sadly.

hospital.

Because Jiang Wen was a scholar, he was left to register the name. Lin Fangzi looked on with envy. He had heard of Jiang Wen's name a long time ago and admired them as scholars.

Looking at Jiang Wen's beautiful and neat calligraphy, he sincerely sighed. After all, he had studied in the academy and his handwriting was beautiful, but it was not as beautiful as his own handwriting.

The afternoon passed quickly. Soon, Lin Bei and Er Bi came back from school. They followed Lin Dong in a bullock cart. They hurried home and saw Xiao Douzi feeding the ducks in the yard.

Jiang Wen.

"Brother Wen! Why are you here?"

"Big cousin!"

Lin Bei and Jiang Bi spoke almost at the same time. One of them looked surprised, the other full of panic.

Lin Bei frowned, looked at his mother not far away, and asked anxiously: "Mom, why is he here?"

Jiang Yan comforted him: "Your eldest cousin said he wanted to pay me back, but he's not here to work at our house. You go wash your hands and get ready to finish your meal. I've cooked something delicious for you today."

"

When cooking fish at noon, she deliberately kept some, thinking that she would give it to Lin Bei and the others to try in the evening.

Lin Bei nodded and followed Jiang Erbi to wash his hands. There were too many things he wanted to ask, but when he saw his mother smiling and seeming to like his eldest cousin very much, he couldn't say any more.

My mother used to like her eldest cousin very much, and even now she likes them, but if they don't obey, will my mother go back to the way she was before? Thinking of this, Lin Bei had to suppress his displeasure and just study hard.

, even more powerful than my eldest cousin, my mother will definitely like me the most!

After dinner, the Lin family all sat around the main room. Everyone held a piece of paper in their hands. Lin Bei took Jiang Wen's handwritten thousand-character essay and began to teach the whole family to read it word by word. After reading it again and again,

Teach everyone how to write.

This is the time for the Lin family to study and study every day. After dinner, everyone has to study with Lin Bei for an hour, but today Lin Xi is on duty in the village and has not returned yet.

Lin Bei was a little nervous. He went to the private school not long ago. What he learned in the private school every day, he and Erbi came back to teach everyone. He was responsible for teaching everyone how to read and read, and Erbi was responsible for teaching everyone how to write.

He liked this feeling very much. Thinking of teaching what he had learned to his family, and even to his mother, he was extremely serious in private school and wanted to learn more every day.

But today, my eldest cousin is here. My eldest cousin is much better at literature than him. I wonder if he will laugh at his poor teaching... Thinking of this, his little face couldn't help but get hot.

"The bird and the phoenix are in the bamboo, and the white horse is in the food court."

After he finished reading, everyone followed and read again. This is the new content learned today.

Jiang Yan also shook her head and read it again, but what she was thinking about was the decoration of the shops in the town.

Although Lin Nan was past the age of enlightenment, he still had great enthusiasm for reading. He asked curiously: "What kind of bird is Bird Phoenix? Do we know each other? What kind of chicken is white chicken? A plucked chicken?"

"

Lin Bei was stuck in place, and his mind returned to the scene of his teacher's teaching, but he could not remember the meaning of this sentence. The teacher did not say it was a bird or a phoenix! Could it be bird droppings? White chickens, are there white chickens? Yes

Didn't I remember it wrong?

He looked at these two words carefully again. As he looked at them, the more he looked at them, the more unfamiliar they felt. The more he looked at them, the less they felt like the words in his memory.

By the end, he was a little unrecognizable.

Jiang Erbi was also confused. He bit his fingers and hesitated for a long time before saying hesitantly: "I don't remember either. It should be a kind of bird that can only be caught in bamboo. The white chicken should have white feathers.

Chickens can only be caught at a chicken farm."

Lin Bei nodded immediately, thinking that this was more or less the meaning.

Lin Nan got the answer and licked his lips: "I don't know if this white chicken is delicious."

Jiang Wen, who can recite a thousand-character text backwards and forwards: "..."

He stood behind Jiang Yan, which might lead his cousins ​​to learn the wrong direction in the future. He considered it again and said:

"Little aunt, this sentence should be "Crying Phoenix in the Bamboo, Baiju Food Court", that one should be "ming", not the word "bird", it refers to the happy chirping of the phoenix in the bamboo forest, and that "white colt" is not a chicken, so

It’s the little white horse eating grass freely in the pasture.”

When Lin Bei and Erbi heard this, they immediately blushed, especially Lin Bei. He squeezed the manuscript tightly in embarrassment, but he didn't expect that he even read the words wrong! He was sorry that his mother spent so much money to send him to a private school!

Jiang Yan glanced at him, then looked down at the contents of the manuscript: "This manuscript was copied by you, and the word "bird" is written on it. The fourth child read it correctly. My fourth child is really good, and the word "bird" is written on it.

I recognize it, and I didn’t memorize it.”

"You still need to learn a lot to understand this word and sentence, but this horse can't afford it." In this era, horses are more precious than people.

Lin Bei immediately blushed at Jiang Yan's sudden compliment and wished he could hide in the book.

Jiang Wen blushed with embarrassment. He turned his head to look at the words in the book. He did make a mistake. He was so careless. If he copied too many wrong words, he would be misleading others!

"I'm sorry, little aunt, I will pay more attention to it in the future." He thought for a while and continued: "I will copy some other enlightenment books to a few cousins ​​in the future. Little aunt does not have to waste money to buy them in the town. She will never do it again.

Wrong copy!"

Jiang Yan looked at him with obvious inquiry in her eyes.

Jiang Wen's expression was very serious, and he didn't think it was inappropriate for a little kid who didn't even know the name Lin Bei to be shaking his head here. There was no contempt or disdain, but a look of appreciation.

She said: "In that case, let's treat it as your repayment. After dinner every day, it is study time at home. If you are willing, you can teach everyone how to read and write. I will give it to you according to the monthly salary of the gentleman in the town."

Jiang Wen really wanted to say no. He was happy to teach his cousins ​​how to read and read. After all, half of his ability to go to the academy was due to his aunt, but it didn't cost money. He was a weak scholar and it was really difficult to pay off his little sister.

Aunt's money.

Pursing his lips, he nodded and said, "Little aunt, I am willing. I will do my best to teach my cousins ​​everything I have learned."
