: Destroying the seedlings and encouraging them to grow

While Shen Liangjun was wondering in his mind what the three familiar circles in front of him were, a postman happened to go out with a mail package on his back to lead a horse.

The man who received the letter handed the letter over and said: "It's for Mr. Harabin. You just happened to bring it. The superiors have already told you that this letter cannot be missed. When it arrives at Harabin, remember the first thing."

Send them to you."

The postman took Li Jinshui's letter, glanced at it, put it directly into the inner pocket of his clothes without putting it in the mail bag, and walked away on horseback.

Shen Liangjun and Liu Xi stood on the side of the road and watched the man go away. They touched the back of their heads and asked Liu Xi, "Master Harbin Niu? Who is that?"

Liu Xi shook his head, turned to glare at Shen Liangjun, and said angrily: "Senior Brother, you really don't make people worry. I can't blame Master for not believing in you."

Shen Liangjun knew that he was in the wrong and was so busy that he caught up with Liu Xi and explained: "Then I'm also worried that the old thing will cause trouble and it will be detrimental to you in the future? Besides, even if I didn't read it, didn't the postman read it out by himself just now? Xi girl, I can

What a good intention."

While talking, Liu Xi had already stopped a rickshaw and got on it.

Shen Liangjun looked down with envy, because he had offended Liu Xi by peeking at the letter, and he didn't know if she would let him go up.

Liu Xi actually knew that Shen Liangjun couldn't see the merit of the letter and it was harmless, so he didn't blame him at all.

She looked at Shen Liangjun's pitiful state and kept blinking at the empty seat next to her. She pouted and said with a smile: "If you don't sit down, senior brother, it will be dark."

"Hey, come up right now."

Shen Liangjun then happily got into the car and said to the driver with a smile: "Master, please go to Shouwang Village."

The driver pulled the cart and drove away, but Shen Liangjun was overjoyed.

He sat in the car and looked left and right. He had never felt so comfortable and happy.

It was as if he had suddenly become a master, and anyone he saw on the street could see the top of their head.

"Hey girl, why aren't you excited? Have you ever ridden a rickshaw before?"

Liu Xi shook his head.

"My family usually doesn't ask me to go on long journeys. Even if I have to go out, I always ride in a carriage with my family."

After hearing what she said, Shen Liangjun cast an envious and surprised look at Liu Xi again.

"You even have a carriage at home?"

In Shen Liangjun's mind, a family like Li Jinshui with a cow at home is already very wealthy.

Liu Xi's family actually has horses and even a carriage. How rich he must be.

Seeing that he was about to continue to inquire, Liu Xi quickly said: "No, my grandfather's disciples have it at home. When you need it, you can always borrow it from them."

Only then did Shen Liangjun give up.

It is very common for poor teachers to teach rich students.

If it weren't for the lack of money, who would want to be a master? It's not enough to save time to gain fame.

Wasn't this what Liu Tielan's family used to say? Shen Liangjun had heard it from him since he was a child.

So he stopped questioning Liu Xi and continued to sit on the rickshaw and look around.

Liu Xi felt relieved and finally no longer had to tell Shen Liangjun about family affairs.

She should be more careful from now on and stop showing off her knowledge to others casually.

But when she leaned on the cold and hard back of the seat, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she went out in her family's carriage.

On cold days like this, Mother Wang would always bring soft mats and fur blankets for her, and force her to wear a heavy cloak. A hand stove and a foot stove were indispensable.

The carriage would not be as drafty as it is now. It would have to be covered with three layers of cloth curtains and one layer of felt to block the wind from all sides, so that she would not freeze at all.

After rushing from one place to another, her hands and face were warm, and she was no longer as restless as she was now. After resting for a while, she felt the cold wind going straight into her neck and collar, which made her feel chilly.

I had to squeeze in with Shen Liangjun to get a little warmer.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi secretly wiped the crystal light from the corner of his eyes and stopped thinking about it.

The former glory has long since been burned away in the fire.

What she wants to think about now is to learn opera from Li Jinshui, become famous as a singer, and quickly return to the capital to seek justice for her family in front of her ancestors.

"Grandfather, grandmother, mother, and younger sister, please wait for me. I will definitely not let your death be in vain!"

While she was thinking, a scarf suddenly appeared on her face.

It turned out that Shen Liangjun noticed that she was shivering, so he took off his scarf and wrapped it around her.

"It's getting dark, and it's very cold now. You're young and weak, so don't freeze your body. You won't be able to go on stage on New Year's Day, and it will make it difficult for me and Master to go up together. Hurry up and get tighter."

.”

While speaking, he had already covered Liu Xi's entire face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

Liu Xi's nostrils were filled with the smell of Shen Liangjun's sweat emanating from the scarf. She wanted to speak, but couldn't open her mouth, so she could only say "Uh-huh."

Shen Liangjun couldn't understand what she meant, and said cheerfully: "What's wrong? I think everyone here is surrounded like this, isn't it warm?"

Liu Xi couldn't breathe, so he quickly took off the scarf from his nostrils with his hands, pulled it under his chin, gasped for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said to Shen Liangjun: "Thank you, senior brother."

Shen Liangjun pretended that her expression and tone could not be seen or heard, he rubbed the back of his head and laughed and said: "We are all from the same school, you are welcome. But I didn't lend it to you in vain. I'll wait until your leather hat is ready.

Just let me wear it for a few days first."

Liu Xi knew that this person would not be so kind and took the initiative to help her, so she took off Shen Liangjun's scarf, turned up the collar, and wrapped it around her neck. The collar no longer leaked air, and her body gradually warmed up.

"It's okay for me to wear my leather hat, senior brother. It's just that my head is small and your head is big. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear it, right?"

Shen Liangjun's lips curled up slightly, quite proudly, "Then don't worry about it, I always have my own way of using it."

On the New Year's Day, the county tailor shop sent someone to deliver Liu Xi's clothes and accessories.

Liu Xi finally knew what Shen Liangjun did with the leather hat.

Li Jinshui was willing to spend money to make Liu Xi this new set of clothes. The animal hair in the leather hat is soft and warm, and it is exactly the same style as Li Jinshui's leather hat.

Although the west wing where Shen Liangjun and Liu Tielan lived had a warm wall, Li Jinshui allowed them to put a charcoal basin in the room for heating at night.

But Liu Tielan said that the house was always covered tightly in winter, fearing that the charcoal would not be able to burn through and produce poisonous gases that would make people sick, so he never asked him to light it.

He had little hair on his head and was covered with a quilt like Liu Tielan. He also felt suffocated, so he happened to get Liu Xi's leather hat. Although it didn't look good, it at least provided some protection from the cold.

Afraid that Li Jinshui would make fun of him when he found out about this, he only borrowed it from Liu Xi every night and returned it at dawn.

Li Jinshui and Liu Tielan both saw it clearly, but they did not reveal it.

This is how we live through hard times, we have to endure them slowly.

Parents often turn a blind eye to trivial matters that are innocuous.

In these days, Liu Xi not only has to practice the opera that he will sing on the first day of the new year, but also wakes up at 9 o'clock every morning to practice the Kung Fu taught by Li Jinshui. Then he hangs himself on the road while he and Shen Liangjun go to fetch water.

Voice exercises.

Originally there was a well in the village, and many villagers went there to fetch water, but practicing Qigong would disturb the villagers, so Li Jinshui asked Liu Xi to follow Shen Liangjun to the small river at the east end of the village to fetch water.

There were few people there at the moment, it was freezing and snowy, and there was already a thick layer of ice on the river. It would take some time to open the river to get water, which gave the two of them time to raise their voices.

Occasionally, when you are lucky, you can catch a big fish and eat meat as a family, which is quite nice.

Therefore, Shen Liangjun did not complain and was very willing to go.

When the two of them came back from carrying water, Li Jinshui also got up.

After breakfast, he began to teach Liu Xi how to draw a face.

Drawing a face is a huge knowledge. Depending on the character's personality, age and identity, the facial makeup painting methods will naturally be different.

If beginners cannot understand the essence of it, they will draw like a gourd and a gourd. They will often go in the opposite direction, and the result will always be different, and they will be ridiculed by the audience.

Therefore, many artists regard face-drawing as a special skill. They often do it alone with the door closed, and they are not even allowed to see the person combing their hair.

But when Li Jinshui taught Liu Xi, he didn't hide any secrets at all. He even explained the meaning of sequence and color to Liu Xi clearly. He often couldn't stop talking about it and wished he could know it within a few days.

Liu Xi knows everything.

Today happened to be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and Li Jinshui was once again telling Liu Xi about hooking faces, talking about five characters in one breath.

Liu Xi really couldn't remember it, so he had to interrupt Li Jinshui and said: "Master, please allow me to digest it for two days. I can draw and draw well, and then tell me the rest. Otherwise, you keep talking like this.

It’s no use if I can’t remember it.”

But Li Jinshui was a little anxious.

"You have to remember it first. Even if you can't draw it now, at least write it down first. If you can't remember it with your brain, just draw it with a pen and write it down. In short, you have to remember it first. The more you remember, the better."

Liu Xi was puzzled by what Li Jinshui said, and thought to herself that she had just become a master, and the two of them still had a long time to live, so why not let her learn slowly, study hard, and learn more solidly?

Why do you feel that the old man is a bit trying to encourage others to grow?

Liu Tielan had taught her that if she had any objections to her master, she should speak clearly to her face. She could not wait or hide it. This would not be a good way to learn.

So she wanted to express her thoughts, but just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is this Mr. Li's home?"

Harbin: the old name of Harbin.
