After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

Chapter 31

◎Gu Zeyu admires scholars very much. ◎

After arriving in the town, even my uncle couldn't take it anymore, and his buttocks hurt from riding in the bullock cart.

After getting out of the car, take a few steps quickly and move your body.

The same is true for Gu Zeyu.

After relaxing his arms and legs, he asked his uncle where Gu Xin went to private school.

The town is roughly divided into four areas, east, south, north, and east. The east market is more lively, and it is usually a place for small stalls. There are often villagers who sell home-grown vegetables, or eggs, and other mountain products.

Most of the shops in West Market are for business, such as grain stores, cloth shops, pastry shops, restaurants, etc. Gu Zeyu usually comes here to buy some necessities when he goes to town.

The south and north are some residential areas, the north is home to some well-to-do families, such as businessmen, and the south is the town's ordinary families, who usually have a skill and have jobs in the town.

He was not very clear about the direction of this private school, so he asked his uncle.

Uncle Gu said: "This private school is opened by an old scholar, his home is in the south, we can walk there for a quarter of an hour."

After arriving at the private school, Uncle Gu knocked on the door, and a child opened the door. He was dressed in a neat scholar's attire and had a ball head tied. He looked like a boy. This was the grandson of the old scholar. "Who are you? If you are looking for my grandfather, my grandfather is in class? He is not free."

Gu Zeyu likes children very much. At this moment, he saw this child pretending to be an adult, but his face was still full of childishness, and there was still baby fat on his little face.

He thought the child was so cute, so he bent down and replied, "We are not looking for your grandpa, but your grandpa's students, we are his family, and we are here to bring him dry food, can you let us in? "

The child thought for a while and said firmly: "No, my father said that he could open the door to people who came to see my grandfather, but he didn't say that he could open the door to the family members of my grandfather's students."

Seeing what he said, Gu Zeyu couldn't help it. He looked at his uncle, who knew that the uncle was quite good at dealing with children, so he took out a piece of candy from his pocket, handed it to the child, and said, "We changed our minds. Now we want to find your grandfather, can we go in now."

The child hesitated for a moment, turned his little head, and was finally fooled. He took the candy and stuffed it into his mouth. The candy was too big, the child's mouth was stuffed, and he couldn't speak clearly. .

"Well, you go in."

He stepped aside and let the two of them in.

As soon as I entered, a grandma came out, and he called the child by name, "Li Yan, come here, you stole candy again, and you agreed to only eat one a day, you are not afraid of tooth decay, why don't you have a long memory? You child."

As soon as the child heard this, the joy of eating the candy just now disappeared immediately. He walked to his mother's side with a sad face, ready to accept the arrangement of fate.

He mumbled, "I didn't steal it, it was given to me by others."

Unexpectedly, his mother heard such a low voice, "Eat one in the next three days, and you are not allowed to take candy from others, you know."

The grandma turned around to greet the two of them again, and asked, "Is it the student's family? They are still in class. Come and sit in the gazebo and wait for him. I'll bring you a cup of tea to quench your thirst."

Uncle Gu and Gu Zeyu hurriedly thanked him, the child and the grandma both left, and they didn't go to the gazebo to sit down and wait as they said.

Gu Zeyu was curiously observing private schools in this world. Standing in the yard, he could still hear the sound of reading aloud, and for a moment, the sound of his master teaching again. All this was very new to him. The semi-old courtyard, It is also mixed with traces of the years, has an ancient charm, and is full of the aroma of books.

Uncle Gu kept looking at the teaching classroom, he was waiting for the end of get out of class, waiting for his son to come out.

Gu Zeyu didn't study very well in the past, he joined the army after high school, and later he went to the military academy on the recommendation of the army, which can be regarded as a university, but he has always envied those highly educated people, he thinks they Very powerful, but he is a big bastard, most of the friends around him dropped out of school and did not go to university.

He admires scholars very much, and now seeing this old-style private school, he is filled with awe and feels it is very sacred.

After a while, the grandma came back again, brought them two bowls of tea, and finally took the two of them to the gazebo to sit down, at least there must be a place to put the tea.

The grandma introduced herself as the daughter-in-law of the owner of the private school, surnamed Chen. He was very enthusiastic and asked which student they were looking for.

Uncle Gu said, "We're looking for Gu Xin, and we're here to send him some dry food."

Grandma Chen laughed when she heard this, and he said: "Gu Xin is a kid who studies hard. My grandfather often mentions him, saying that he has good knowledge and a solid foundation, and I recommend him to take the scholar exam this year."

Uncle Gu was very happy. It is very likely that his family will produce a scholar. He said: "If we can really be admitted as a scholar, then our family must thank Master very much. This is all taught by Master."

Grandma Chen is also happy. If her grandfather can teach a scholar, the reputation of the private school will definitely be greatly improved. If more students come here to study, they can also earn more money.

Gu Zeyu didn't expect his cousin to be very good. He knew that it was difficult to be a scholar. He didn't see how many people in history were pulsatillas at the age of 60, but they were still just children.

Now that the master thinks that Gu Xin's level is enough, then their family may really have a talented man. This is a very happy thing. You know, there is only one old boy in their Gu family village. To be a scholar is to honor the ancestors.

It is a great event worthy of celebration by the whole village.

Although everything is still uncertain, he feels that Gu Xin is very serious about his studies, and he also has that vigor and aura. Maybe the farmer can counterattack and rewrite his life. The scholar has passed the exam and there are still others. There is no end to learning, and the future can be expected.

Here, Uncle Gu has already chatted with Grandma Chen. They are all talking about Gu Xin. Uncle Gu asked about Gu Xin's academic situation and physical condition. , he himself is a passionate person, whoever asks, he will answer carefully.

Gu Zeyu kept listening without interjecting, his eyes fixed on the classroom full of students, and he gradually lost his mind.

After about two or three quarters of an hour, the door of that room opened, and the master came out first, followed by a dozen or so students. The students were all dressed in long gowns, very delicate and elegant. At first glance, they were dressed as scholars. Wearing a student hat, with the temperament of a scholar, who has read poetry and books is different from others.

Gu Zeyu didn't recognize which student was Gu Xin at first glance, but later he recognized the student who was wearing blue clothes and walking with his head down as Gu Xin.

Gu Zeyu quickly waved his hands and called him, "Gu Xin, we're here to see you."

At this time, Gu Zeyu had already walked several steps forward, only twenty steps away from Gu Xin, and the uncle was still chatting with Grandma Chen, so he didn't realize that the students had already come out.

Gu Xin raised his lowered head all of a sudden, and he saw his cousin. He didn't expect that he would come to see him. The big man of his cousin was very conspicuous. He walked over and asked him with a smile: "Don't you think so?" Brother, why are you here?"

Gu Zeyu said: "I came to see you with uncle. You haven't been home for half a month. Uncle is at the gazebo. Our main purpose is to deliver dry food to you."

Gu Xin was not disappointed when he said that. He knew that his cousin and his father both came to see him, and the gift of food was just incidental.

However, he was still a little puzzled, and asked Gu Zeyu: "I remember the last time my father came to visit me and said that Brother Yu missed me, and he will follow me when he delivers dry food next time. Why is he not here this time? It's you, my cousin." coming."

Gu Zeyu told the truth according to Brother Yu's reason: "Brother Yu has not been in a good mood recently, and he is not feeling well, so he stayed at home and said that he will come to see you next time."

Gu Xin cared about his younger brother very much, and loved him since he was a child. He became anxious when he heard that Brother Yu was not feeling well, and asked, "What is wrong with Brother Yu? Did you catch a cold? Did you go to the hospital?" Can you take a look at the barefoot doctor in the village?"

Before Gu Zeyu could answer, the uncle trotted all the way over, even carrying the baggage he was carrying, shaking up and down, he said: "Ah Xin, you have come out, why don't you call me."

After speaking, he dragged the two of them to the gazebo, and all three of them sat down. The uncle took out the things that the aunt and aunt had packed up, and said, "Ah Xin, these are steamed buns. Your mother bought them yesterday." Just steamed, this is pickles, the taste you like, this is meat sauce, you can keep it as a dish."

Gu Xin took it, opened the cover of the meat sauce and smelled it, then said with a smile: "Well, that's the taste, the meat sauce made by Auntie is simply amazing."

Gu Xin chatted with the uncle for a few more words, and then changed the topic after asking about A-niang's situation. Just now, he asked about Gu Zeyu's brother's situation, but Gu Zeyu hadn't had time to answer.

"Brother Yu is fine. He must have caught a cold. He went to the mountain to dig mushrooms yesterday. It may have been blown by the wind. Don't worry, he may recover in a day. He didn't have a cough or a runny nose. I guess Just rest at home for a while." The uncle said.

Only then did Gu Xin feel relieved, and said that when he went back, he had to educate brother Yu well. He is 16 years old, and he should be sensible. He can't still like to go out and play, running all over the mountains and fields.

The three chatted for a while, and the break time was over. Gu Xin said goodbye to his father and cousin, packed up his luggage, and went to the school to continue his classes.

When Uncle Gu came out of the courtyard, Gu Zeyu took him to buy chickens and ducks. He almost forgot about it.

Uncle Gu still knows a little bit, and the two of them picked out five baby chickens and five ducklings together, and bought a basket made of bamboo as a container, all of which cost only 35 renminbi.

Then Gu Zeyu and his uncle went home. This time, the two of them did not choose to take the bullock cart. It was still early, so they walked directly back to the village.
