Farming and reading lady

The right time, the right place, and the right people! This is based on facts. It goes without saying that the weather was sunny that day. Summer is always sunny, but although the sky is sunny, it is not very hot. The breeze is so beautiful that it makes people feel drowsy. Although the students in the classroom are forcing themselves to be alert, they also nod their heads as if they are meeting Zhou Gong.

Gu Xixian was different. As a night owl who traveled from the previous century, he slept so much that he burped every day. How could he be knocked down by a mere summer breeze? His energetic appearance made Master Tong a little envious.

Many years have passed, and the scenery of Xiaoyue Bay remains the same. Tong Mingyan went up the mountain to pay tribute to his parents and returned. He was going to hang out at his cousin's school, but he saw a little man sitting at the door of the school from afar. At first, he thought that some student was not serious in class and was punished to stand at the door. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. Children don't know the taste of sorrow. They will always be punished by the teacher once or twice.

As he got closer, he realized that there was a tiny little girl sitting at the door, holding a manuscript and nodding her head, reading with great enthusiasm. Curious, he walked over and stood beside the little girl. He could hear her clear and melodious voice, which did not pause or slacken at all because of his arrival, as if she was unaware of him. He was amazed.

Gu Xixian was not unaware, but she had keenly sensed the distant sight. After all, she was not a real two-year-old child, and she still had the determination not to be affected by external things. Only when one is upright can one be a teacher. She has always required herself to be a role model for others.

After a while, the sound of reading stopped. Gu Xixian stood up and bowed to Tong Mingyan: "Uncle, are you here to see the teacher? The teacher is teaching, please sit here and rest for a while. Tong Mingyan nodded slightly, sat down on the small stool she gave him very naturally, and asked casually: "Whose child are you, and what are you doing here? Are you disobedient in class and were punished by the teacher to come out?"

Gu Xixian rolled her eyes in her heart. You are a sharp man. Can't you see that I am not a student of the academy? But she had to answer every question since they asked her. This is what a good student does: "No, I am the companion sister of Gu Xihao."

There is nothing wrong with the child's words. Let's start with some childish actions: "My brother is too naughty. My parents asked me to supervise him and prevent him from getting angry with the teacher."

"Oh, I see. Then why are you still holding the book?" Could it be that her brother is not good at studying and is focusing his attention on his sister?

Gu Xixian picked up the book on the table and shook it: "You are talking about this, the teacher said that I can learn from it. If a person does not learn, he will not know the righteousness. I must learn, so that when I grow up, I can become a very useful person."

"Hahaha... well said." Tong Mingyan touched her little bun and said, "The little girl is ambitious."

She raised her head proudly and said in a childish but firm voice: "Of course!"

"Okay, okay!" Tong Mingyan laughed out loud. What a funny kid.

The laughter obviously affected the people inside. Students could be seen peeking out of the window. Tong Mingyan stroked his beard a little awkwardly and greeted Master Tong who was walking out: "Sixth brother, I just came to take a look. Sorry to bother you."

Master Tong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, what are you talking about? What are you doing here?"

As she was about to welcome him into her study, she was stopped by him: "Since you are here, let me give you a lesson. What do you think, Sixth Brother?"

"It's an honor for the children. Fifth brother, please come in." Master Tong was very excited and quickly let them in. Even he had never received guidance from the fifth brother. These little kids were really lucky.

Can Tong Mingyan say that he was just curious and wanted to see who the little girl's brother was? He definitely couldn't.

After the class, Tong Mingyan sighed, "Like sister, like brother." Both children are outstanding. He remembered that the third child of the Gu family was also a good child, but he had not left the village for so many years. Could it be that he was injured? It is not impossible.

This seemed to be just a small episode. Tong Mingyan came and went in a hurry. After one class, he left. Teacher Tong was completely confused. The children only knew that this was an official who came back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. They didn't know anything else. Gu Xixian certainly didn't know either and lived his life as usual.

On this day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the third room came to the old house to give gifts. Hearing the sound of reading aloud coming from the west room, Gu Xixian knew for the first time that her uncle was also a student, and the other brothers and sisters were also studying. She had been thinking for a long time, why the old house was not so poor, and could even be said to be one of the most famous families in Xiaoyuewan Village, but none of the children in the family were sent to school. It turned out that there was a small private school at home, so her family was really the one that was abandoned.

It's not her fault, it's just her uncle's big and strong body. She really didn't realize that he was once a scholar. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Do you have three black lines on your forehead?

This time, the family of four had planned to give gifts and go back as they did in previous years, but they were kept by the old man, who called it "maintaining relationships."

So, do they have feelings for each other? What's going on?

The old man started the awkward chat mode: "Have you harvested all the fields at home?"

Her father replied: "We have no land."

The old man choked and continued, "Life is all good."

Her father: "Don't you know that?"

Old man: "Are the children all obedient?"

Her father: “It’s OK.”

Old man...

What should I do if I can't continue this conversation?

Gu Xixian looked at the father and son in surprise. They had nothing to talk about. What should they do? They really were father and son.

Others at home: What if the atmosphere is too depressing? Can they go out for a walk and come back?

Under everyone's expectant eyes, the uncle said with a stiff upper lip: "Third brother, Dad means that Xiyang and Xichen are preparing to leave this year. Can you spare some time to give them some advice?"

Without giving Gu Liqi a chance to shirk his responsibility, he continued, "You also know that although I am also a student, I cannot compare with you as a student. If it weren't for... your talent and learning are far beyond mine."

"Okay, big brother, let Yang and Chen come to my house at 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. every day. One hour every day is about the same." Gu Lieqi also wanted his nephews to have a bright future. If one day they could break out of the cage and go further, he would surely be able to vent his anger. Therefore, even though he knew the result, he still wanted to send his son to school.

In fact, even if the eldest brother did not give the following explanation, he would still be willing to give his nephews some guidance.
