Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 221 Books

The two aunts discussed sincerely, how insane it is for Mr. Su Xiao to make people write fifty words silently in three days, and to memorize an average of ten words a day.

"Speaking of which, every time we go to class, we are next to the cafeteria, and we can go to the cafeteria to have a bowl of porridge during the break after class, so that people don't feel very hard."

As soon as Zhao Susu heard it, she turned around on her own initiative, and walked to the back door of the cafeteria in a daze.

The back door of the cafeteria passes through a small area of ​​saplings that have not yet grown up, which is a row of more than a dozen neatly connected stone houses.

The door was open, and she could faintly see tables and chairs. She walked in and turned around unconsciously.

There is a sand table made of wood on each table. The sand inside looks quite fine, and there is a 'penholder' next to it.

There are still characters on one of the sand tables, which are the three characters of sun, moon, and star, and the other sand table has wind, rain, thunder, electricity, wheat, and millet.

They are very common words.

Zhao Susu suddenly became more and more dazed, and even thought that she was going to die for a moment, but what she saw now were all hallucinations before she died.

Her eyes were hot, and she shed tears unconsciously.

This 'Guzhuang' is really a magical place.

The third mother of the Gu family is also... a very amazing person.

Back then, her father was still around, and she also had the idea that there should be no discrimination in education, and that children from poor families should be given the opportunity to read and write.

But her father must have never thought that these peasants and women who plan food in the fields, those traffickers, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, also have the need to read and write.

Zhao Susu trembled all over for a moment.

Looking at the school, she even forgot the cafeteria behind her for a moment, she was thinking, but saw the third lady push the door and enter, both of them were stunned.

Zhao Susu regained consciousness immediately, and quickly said three blessings deeply.

Gu Xiang sighed when he saw her movements flowing, graceful and natural.

Counting it, Zhao Susu lived in Dali Village for eight years, and ten years later, but the things engraved in her bones were not lost at all.

Gu Xiang returned a salute, but Zhao Susu quickly avoided it, but her eyes fell on the bookcase she was carrying, slightly frozen.

"I happened to meet Mrs. Zhao, I remember Mrs. Zhao can read?"

Gu Xiang said with a smile, seeing that Zhao Susu was out of her mind, she didn't say much, and just handed her the bookcase in her hand, "That's just right, please ask Mrs. Zhao to help me clean it up."

As she spoke, she walked over and pushed open the small door on the east side of the school.

Zhao Susu's time was instantly attracted.

It was a boxy room with no other shabby room except for a few dilapidated tables and chairs, but there were large windows on all sides, and the windows were covered with almost transparent gauze towels, making it look spacious and bright, and they were placed against the wall. A row of bookshelves that seem to have just been finished, although the workmanship is ordinary, are clean and flat.

At this time, dozens of books were already placed on the shelf in different categories.

Gu Xiang walked over, put down the bookcase on his back, took out one book after another from it, and put them on the bookshelf in order according to the categories posted on the spine.

"Come on, help."

Zhao Susu subconsciously opened the bookcase in her hand, which was actually full of books. The bookcase was actually very heavy, but she was reluctant to put it down for a while, and didn't realize the soreness in her wrist.

There is a volume of "Qie Yun", Zhao Susu couldn't help flipping through it, the book is very well printed, the paper is light white, the handwriting is clear, the characters are also large, and it looks very comfortable.

Zhao Susu could hardly put it down.

Gu Xiang smiled and said: "Look at the spine of the book. It is roughly classified according to the sub-collections of classics and history, and there are also some miscellaneous items. They are all numbered on it. Please ask Mrs. Zhao to help me arrange them according to this number."

Where is this troublesome?Let Zhao Susu do this kind of work, she can do it for a year without eating, drinking or sleeping, as long as she is still alive, she can continue to do it.

While working, Zhao Susu touched and flipped through the books, and looked at these categories. The more she read, the more she felt that Gu Xiang was a very talented and intelligent woman.

Although she loved reading since she was a child, she was not smart enough.

Her parents always said she was a bit stupid.

Gu Xiang saw that she was doing neatly, so he simply handed over all the errands of arranging the books to her. He sat by himself and sorted out the dozens of newly bought books left in the bookcase, and wrote labels one by one.

"There are not many people in our farm now, not to mention the newcomers, even our folks in Guzhuang, less than one-tenth of them know more than [-] characters, and most of them only know a few dozen characters. At present, everyone’s requirements for the library are not enough, and it is enough for the moment.”

Gu Xiang said softly, "In the future, when everyone becomes more literate, I will add more slowly. I hope that one day, I can build a big library in the village and collect all the good books from all over the world. People in the village can read them however they want. As long as you read it, every child who reaches the age can grow up in the fragrance of books, that would be great."

Zhao Susu's heart was beating wildly.

She looked at Gu Xiang, and countless stars almost burst out of her eyes.

"...Could it be that all the villagers in Guzhuang can come to study for free?"

Gu Xiang nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, but this library is only for farm workers to study. I also built one in the village, which is about the same scale. Well, although it is free, there must be rules. People have to Know how to cherish books, and don’t take them away, let alone lose them.”

This is a matter of course.

"Take your time, I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not in a hurry at all."

Gu Xiang laughed.

Zhao Susu turned her head and looked around, feeling that she could not walk.

This night, Zhao Susu returned to the assigned dormitory, lying on a clean bed, tossing and turning, Liu Aman sat at the table in front of her, smacking her lips while practicing calligraphy: "Auntie, you didn't go to dinner, hey, I originally wanted to bring back a plate of shredded radish for you to eat with porridge and pancakes, but the second time I went to get it, it was all eaten up."

Thinking of the taste of shredded radish, Liu Ahman salivated.

Only then did Zhao Susu come back to her senses, and said with a broken smile, "Why do you love carrots so much?"

A few days ago, Ah Man praised the Crab Dumplings in Soup, which was very delicious. Unfortunately, she only got two, and if there were more, they would be gone.

"It's really delicious."

Ah Man licked his lips, apparently still remembering it very much.

The next morning, Zhao Susu also ate the particularly delicious shredded radish that Ah Man said.

The shredded radish is not particularly thin, it is about as thick as a dozen hairs combined. It is only seasoned with sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil. Wanting to eat it again, it is infinitely better than any delicacies she has ever eaten.

Zhao Susu ate one dish in a row, and then picked up one to take a closer look, only to see that there were many fine pinholes on it - no wonder it was so tasty.

Is this Gu Zhuang just like this radish, seemingly inconspicuous, but has inner beauty.Perhaps, staying here to spend the rest of my life is not an embarrassing choice.
