Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 259: Hit (1)
Naturally, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't hear these words, she stepped out of the door of the shop, and took the green bamboo straight to the shop that sells the Four Treasures of the Study.

I picked and bought two medium-quality inkstones, medium-square pine smoke ink, a large stack of inferior paper, and a dozen or so brushes.

These brushes tend to be inferior, but Lin Xiaoqiao buys a lot of them, because she knows that people who have just learned to write often cannot master the skills and methods when practicing calligraphy, so they are particularly easy to damage the brushes , even if it is practiced well, it is still easy to break.

In this regard, Lin Xiaoqiao is relatively experienced. When she was practicing calligraphy, she would use up a writing brush in almost ten days, so she bought some more on purpose.

After buying these, Lin Xiaoqiao went back to his study and pulled out the books that the four brothers and sisters had used to enlighten them before. He planned to use these books to enlighten Manzi and Shunzi and teach them Recognize characters.

After being idle for such a long time, Lin Xiaoqiao finally found something serious to do, so she took the Four Treasures of the Study and a few books that she bought herself, and ran to the shop, grabbing Followed by Shunzi and Manzi, the two guys announced their talent training plan. From today onwards, the two guys had to find time to learn twenty characters with her.

When they can almost read all the characters, they will be taught to read some books that students in the school generally need to read, and then the bishop will do their accounting.

After some consideration, Lin Xiaoqiao decided to hold classes for them every afternoon when there were not many guests. He taught them for half an hour every day and let them practice for an hour by themselves.

Shunzi and Manzi never thought that they would have the opportunity to read and write, so facing Lin Xiaoqiao's decision, they both seemed very happy and excited.

Especially when the two of them saw the lady of the host's family handing over the four treasures of the study to them, Shunzi and Manzi held those pens, inks, papers and inkstones in their hands as if holding a treasure. arms.

"Thank you, Second Miss, thank you!" Shunzi felt a little dazed when faced with such good news suddenly.

"Second Miss, is this true? This is—" Manzi was in a state of weeping, and he was also a little bit disbelieving that this good thing happened suddenly.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Xiaoqiao was still a little moved in her heart. Their family had experienced poverty before, so she was able to understand that the two of them were not calm about this hard-won opportunity. of.

"I haven't started reading yet, but I'm starting to question my husband's words! Is it because I don't want to learn how to read? Umm——" Lin Xiaoqiao didn't want to continue to be immersed in this atmosphere, so she deliberately put on a small face, Said.

After hearing this, Shunzi and Manzi hurriedly said nervously: "No, no! Second Miss, we will study hard with you."

"Well, after studying and reading, don't forget about me, sir! I'm training you guys, don't let your wings get stiff, and just fly away without paying attention!" Lin Xiaoqiao nodded, expressing Said with satisfaction.

Hearing this, the two young fellows quickly expressed their determination. They stretched out their hands together and swore to the sky: "Second Miss, don't worry, I, Shunzi (Manzi), swear that I will never disappoint my boss's cultivation in the future. As long as my boss needs me, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will never hesitate to die, and I will never be that kind of ungrateful villain!"

"Okay, okay, I know you are not that kind of people!" Lin Xiaoqiao said with a smile.

"Let's start today. When there are not many guests in the afternoon, you and I will go to the backyard to study and learn!" Lin Xiaoqiao decided to strike while the iron is hot, anyway, she has nothing to do all day long.

Shunzi and Manzi nodded after hearing this, and agreed "Got it!" Then they went to work on their own affairs.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoqiao set up two tables and chairs in the backyard of the shop, and started her literacy study plan for the two employees.

Shunzi and Manzi cherish this opportunity to read and write very much. They both study very seriously, so Lin Xiaoqiao doesn't have to work hard to teach them.

However, after seeing Shunzi, Manzi could read and write, and the green bamboo and red bamboo maids were also very envious, so they also begged their own lady to learn to read and write.

Lin Xiaoqiao felt that it was a good thing to want to read and write and improve his own level, so he recruited four more students.

At the end of July, Chen Xuewen came back from the provincial capital, stayed at home for a few days, and then went back.

When I came back this time, I spent most of my time in the study, discussing homework with the two brothers Dalang Erlang, and took the time to give them a review before the exam.

There is only one month left before the day of the exam. The two brothers Dalang Erlang are very hardworking, but they still feel that they have nothing in their hearts.

However, after Chen Xuewen sorted out the books for them, the two of them were obviously more confident than before, and they also knew what rules to follow in the next month to review and prepare for the exam.

Seeing the efforts of the two brothers, Lin Xiaoqiao once asked Chen Xuewen in private about the chances of the two brothers Dalang and Erlang succeeding in the exam.

At that time, Chen Xuewen was silent for a moment, and then replied quite honestly: "Judging from their current knowledge, the chances of passing the exam are not very high!"

"Ah—is it so difficult to be a scholar?" Lin Xiaoqiao was a little disappointed when he heard that.

Although she often persuaded Dalang and Erlang brothers not to act too hastily, it doesn't matter if they fail the exam once, but deep down she also hopes that her two elder brothers can pass at the first time.

Lin Xiaoqiao deeply understands that in this society, having a well-known scholar in the family will change the status of the family.

"Don't be too depressed. I just said that the chances of them passing the exam are not high, but it doesn't mean that the two of them will definitely not pass the exam. There is a chance for everything! The enlightenment of Da Lang and Erlang Compared with those students who have been enlightened to study since childhood, they must suffer." Chen Xuewen saw the little girl's depression, so he gave a few words of comfort, but he was also seeking truth from facts Analyze the situation to her.

Lin Xiaoqiao knew that what Chen Xuewen said was very reasonable, but people have a natural instinct to protect their weaknesses, so she replied a little unconvinced: "It's not necessarily true. Others are late, but their talents are good. Didn’t they both pass the child’s entrance examination last year? There are many scholars who are quite old, but they are also inferior to my two brothers, so it has nothing to do with the time spent in school. Bar!"
