A Jian was driving the donkey cart, with Lian Fangzhou and Lian Che sitting in the back, and a bamboo basket was placed on the cart, which contained bundle repairs for the school teacher according to the rules.
They are: celery, implying hard work and studious, proficiency in work; lotus seeds, lotus seeds are bitter, implying painstaking education; red beans, implying good fortune; red dates, implying early high school; longan, implying the completion of merit; Disciple mind.
In addition to these few things that must be prepared according to the rules of etiquette. In another basket, Lian Fangzhou also contained an air-dried pheasant presented by Mrs. Sun, a sausage brought back from the Su family, and twenty eggs. Of course, there is also a crazy red envelope of two taels of silver.
Lian Che has just started, and he is not in this village. In order to make a good impression on his husband, he is willing to pay more attention to Lian Che, and Lian Fangzhou has spent a lot of money.
Wearing a brand-new lake green cross-neck robe and thick-soled black cloth shoes, Lian Che, who was neatly dressed, was a little nervous, twisting his little hands uneasily, looking sideways and at his sister from time to time.
When they finally arrived, Ah Jian parked the donkey cart and the three of them got out of the cart.
Ah Jian was waiting here, while Lian Fangzhou was holding a basket in one hand and Lian Che in the other, and walked to Mr. Meng's residence behind the school.
"Sister..." Lian Che suddenly grabbed Lian Fangzhou's sleeve and stopped, looked up at her with bright eyes, pursed his lips, and whispered: "I, I'm a little scared! Sister, Do you think Mr. Meng will like me? Me, can I learn well? "
After all, Lian Che was still a child, and he had never left his family or his brothers and sisters since he was a child. Especially after the death of his parents, he and Lian Fangqing became more dependent on their elder sister. Now that I suddenly have to plunge into an unfamiliar environment and face all strangers, it is inevitable that I will feel uneasy.
Lian Fangzhou patted him on the shoulder lightly, and smiled softly: "As long as you are obedient and study hard, Mr. Meng will definitely like you. You see, didn't you learn everything that Brother Ajian taught you when we were at home?" Is it? Mr. Meng should teach in the same way, you can definitely learn it well!"
A smile appeared on Lian Che's face, his eyebrows stretched, he nodded, and said with sparkling eyes: "Well, I will definitely listen to Mr. No one dares to bully our family!"
"My Che'er is the most ambitious!" Lian Fangzhou said with a warm smile in his heart.
The three of them walked forward together.
In the past few days, people have come to sign up one after another. Mr. Meng no longer goes out but waits at home.
Lian Fangzhou politely called "Mr. Meng" and brought Lian Che forward, respectfully said: "I sent my younger brother to school, and I will ask Mr. Meng to teach him a lot in the future!"
Lian Che stepped forward with square steps and bowed deeply to Mr. Meng: "Lian Che from Dafang Village has seen Mr. Meng!"
Mr. Meng couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
The siblings are handsome, neatly dressed, and very well-behaved. Mr. Meng has a good impression of them.
Moreover, he has never seen his elder sister send his younger brother to school, usually his father or grandpa.
"Well, free of charge!" Mr. Meng couldn't help asking: "Why did my sister send it? Where's the adult at home?"
Lian Fangzhou hurriedly said: "It's not intentional to be abrupt and powerless, it's really, father and mother, they are no longer here..."
Mr. Meng's eyes lit up sharply, and he hurriedly said: "This old man is being rude!" Then he said seriously: "Miss, have you figured it out? Going to school is not a one-time job, and the money spent will become more and more rare. !Girl..."
Mr. Meng didn't say it directly, but the meaning couldn't be more clear: studying costs a lot of money, can you, a girl, afford it? How long can it be supplied? Judging by your age, I'm afraid it's almost time to get married, right
"Thank you Mr. Meng for your kind words!" Lian Fangzhou smiled gratefully, and said in an extremely firm tone: "Don't worry, sir, since the little girl sent her younger brother to the school today, as long as he studies hard, the little girl will definitely send him out." head!"
Mr. Meng smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The girl's painstaking efforts are admirable! Come over on the 17th day of the first lunar month. Remember to bring lunch and some firewood. Dafang Village is not too close to here. Let's heat it up at my place at noon. Just hot food! Many students are like that."
Lian Fangzhou hurriedly agreed with a smile, thanked him, then offered Shu Xiu up, and said with a smile: "It's not a respect, sir, please accept it!"
Lian Che saw that this gentleman was very gentle towards others, and his appearance was quite elegant, so he felt at ease first. Seeing that the gentleman agreed to accept him, he was overjoyed, and hurried forward and knelt down to salute.
Mr. Meng saw that he was very smart and liked him very much, so he raised his hand and told him to get up with a chuckle.
Glancing at the richness of Shu Xiu Lian Fangzhou sent, he believed what she said just now, but picked up the red envelope and returned it to her: "There are so many things that are enough, take the money back! There will be more money to spend in the future!"
Lian Fangzhou saw that what he said was categorical and indisputable, so he didn't refuse the kindness of others, thinking that it would be enough to prepare generously for the New Year's festival in the future, so he graciously thanked him and accepted it.
Mr. Meng couldn't help but looked at her more and smiled.
"Okay, come back on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, you guys go back!"
Lian Fangzhou and Lian Che hurriedly resigned and left.
Lian Che's spirit changed, he was completely different from the uneasy feeling just now, he walked briskly, smiled excitedly and happily: "Sister, sister, sir looks very gentle and treats people very well!"
In his tone, he could not wait to go to school.
Lian Fangzhou put his heart into his stomach, and then smiled and said: "Now you can rest assured? Study well with Mr. Meng, and don't be naughty with your classmates!"
Lian Fangzhou was originally worried that Mr. Meng was a pedantic and rigid person who could only shake his head and shake his head. If he didn't understand the world, he would only teach people to be nerds by reading books. Aren't private school teachers usually depressed and unsatisfactory
If this is the case, she will have to use her own way to raise a lot of points and influence Lian Che.
Unexpectedly, this Mr. Meng is a very good person, which fits the image of Mr. Lian Fangzhou in his mind. She is satisfied.
Lian Che nodded again and again, "Yeah, sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard!"
The siblings looked at each other and smiled, and they had already moved to the front while talking.
"It's ready? How's it going?" Ah Jian leaned against the donkey cart with one hand, and asked with a smile when she saw them coming back.
"Mr. Meng is really good! I feel relieved that Che'er is here!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.
"That's good!" Ah Jian smiled.
