The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1889

[Chapter 1889 Qi Xuan Fanwai (47)]

The village chief looked for Qixuan, hoping that he could teach all the children in the village to read and read.

Qi Xuan refused without hesitation: “Village chief, I don’t have time to teach them.” Because he is an outsider, it is normal for the villagers of Ajia Village to reject him. But overtly and secretly bullying and even calculating, made him exclude all these people.

The village chief said, “I can ask the villagers to do the work for you at home. You only need to focus on teaching them to study.”

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “No need, we can do the work of my family by ourselves.”

The village chief returned with a feather in his head.

Seeing his father’s look a little ugly, Niku asked, “Father, what’s wrong?”

The village chief looked at Nigu and said, “Do you know how much money Aya’s brother-in-law spends a year to study in the county?” Aya is Su Qi’s daughter, and because of her beauty, she was attracted by the mayor’s eldest son and married. back home. It is also because of this relationship that Su Qi was able to bring his family to the town.

“How many?”

The village chief took a puff of cigarette, and then spit it out: “The money you give to the husband alone will cost you twenty taels a year.”

Nigu’s eyes widened, “So much?” Their whole family is busy all year, and they can save a dozen or two when they grow up. If the age is not good, you have to use your savings.

The poorer the place, the more expensive it is to study. Ordinary people can’t read books at all. Of course, Nigu and Yijia disagreed with Ai Hua at first because they thought it was useless to study, but they didn’t know it would cost so much money to study.

“With the addition of pen and ink, at least 30 taels of silver a year.” Such a large expenditure, not to mention ordinary people, even a small rich family can’t afford it. After all, studying is not a matter of one or two years, but ten or eight years or even longer.

Niku couldn’t help but touched the back of his head, and said naively, “Father, that Aihua is studying with Brother Han, aren’t we taking advantage of it?”

The village chief nodded and said, “I originally wanted him to teach the people in the village, but he refused. Nigu, you have a good relationship with him, go and talk to him.”

He has already taken a lot of advantage and wants him to teach the whole village. This is not an inch. Niku didn’t dare to say what was in his heart, he just shook his head and said, “Dad, he doesn’t want to let him teach Ada. Dad, I won’t bother about this.” Ada is his nephew.

Thinking of the previous incident, the village chief sighed and said, “Don’t take the initiative to tell anyone about this.”

Ai Hua saw that his grandparents and parents did not support him, and since then he has been honest in class.

In late November, it snowed heavily in the village of Aga. Since then, apart from practicing Qi Xuan, his mind has been on calligraphy and painting. I was so involved in painting that I left Ai Huadu aside.

Gu Jiu couldn’t even see it, and said to Ai Hua: “If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

The wind on the mountain is strong, and the cold wind blowing on the face really hurts like being cut by a knife. Aunt Dou didn’t dare to go out, even if she wanted to go out, she covered her face.

The house was burned with charcoal, but it was still cold. Qi Xuan thought about it for a long time, but when he was about to paint, his hands became unruly. No way, it was too cold and my hands were numb.

Qi Xuan put down the pen and sat down to bake the fire: “If only there were earth dragons.” The study at home was as warm as spring in winter.

Gu Jiu leaned on the rocking chair with his legs crossed, like an old birthday man: “Only the very rich will burn the earth dragon.” Ordinary wealthy households cannot afford to burn the earth dragon, it is too expensive.

Qi Xuan said with a sigh, “I know.” Having lived here for almost a year, many people are reluctant to burn earth dragons, let alone charcoal. Lying on the bed with nothing to do, not only saves charcoal fire, but also saves food.

In addition to being busy with farming, Ajia Village eats twice a day at other times.

When his hands were warm, Qi Xuan continued to paint.

Gu Jiu looked at him attentively and nodded secretly. Regardless of how the painting is done, this attitude makes him very satisfied. To do something, you should put your whole heart into it.

Ai Hua handed the twenty large characters to Gu Jiu and said, “Grandpa Jiu, can you see it?”

Just write and write, don’t think about how beautiful you want to be. Therefore, Qi Xuan asked Ai Hua’s words to be neat and correct. If it doesn’t meet the requirements, it has to be rewritten.

Gu Jiu nodded after reading it, indicating that he could go back.

Ai Hua didn’t leave this time, but stood in front of Gu Jiu and said, “Grandpa Jiu, I want to learn Mr.’s marksmanship. Grandpa Jiu, can you teach me?”

Gu Jiu smiled and said, “Do you want to learn it yourself, or did your father let you learn it?”

“Ninth grandpa, I want to learn it myself.” He looked at Qi Xuan’s marksmanship, which was extremely powerful. It’s much stronger than his father’s boxing.

Gu Jiu still smiled: “It’s okay to teach you, but once you start learning, you can’t give up halfway, otherwise I will break your legs.”

Ai Hua really wanted to learn, and stood up straight: “Ninth grandpa, I will definitely learn well, and I will never give up halfway.”

Gu Jiu nodded.

Ai Hua thought that he could learn martial arts, and was overjoyed. He is still imagining that when he learns martial arts, he will be able to fight the invincible hand in the whole village. As a result, Gu Jiu made him stand on a stilt and did not teach him martial arts at all.

The day before, I squatted for a quarter of an hour, but my legs were not my own, and I was trembling when I walked.

Gu Jiu said: “Take a rest, go into the room.” He was not so enthusiastic about bringing an apprentice, and he agreed to teach Ai Hua just because he was bored. If you can’t hold on, it doesn’t take much effort. But if he persists, he will teach with his heart.

Children, how can you bear such pain. The next day, Ai Hualai was unable to survive at home, but was dragged by Yijia with her ears twisted.

Qi Xuan laughed when he saw Ai Hua crying miserably. I think when he was so old, he didn’t want to practice martial arts, but he was forced to learn it by his parents. However, it is also fortunate that the four of them were in good health by practicing martial arts when they were young, and they did not get sick much since they were young.

Ai Hua finished writing the big characters today, and went to stand again. Qi Xuan said with a smile, “As long as you study hard and practice martial arts, I will take you to play in the county town next spring.” If you blindly use force to suppress, sooner or later children will lose interest in learning. Appropriate incentives can arouse his enthusiasm for learning.

Every time Nico came back from town, he would bring back delicious food for the three of them. Therefore, Ai Hua is not interested in the county town, he prefers to go to the town.

Knowing what he was thinking, Qi Xuan couldn’t help laughing and crying: “The county has more delicious food.” This child will have to take him out from time to time to see the outside world more often.

Ai Hua couldn’t believe it: “Really?”

Growing up so big, Ai Hua has never been out of the mountains. In his mind, there is no better place in the world than the town.

Qi Xuan touched his head and said, “When the time comes, you will see for yourself.”

Ai Hua was very happy, but turned to frustration: “The mountain is too dangerous, grandpa and daddy won’t let me out.”

“It’s okay, let your daddy go out with us at that time.” People, you should do what you are good at. In the future, he would rely on painting to earn money to support his family, and he would no longer go hunting in the mountains. It was too dangerous to hunt, and he didn’t want to take the risk.

Ai Hua went home and told Niku about it: “Father, sir, said that he will take me to the county seat in the spring of next year. Father, can I go?” When he said this, he looked at Niku with a hopeful expression.

Nico nodded and said, “Yes. But you have to study and practice martial arts well, or I won’t take you there.”

Ai Hua was immediately overjoyed and turned his head.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve. There is an old saying in the Central Plains, saying that there is money but no money to have a good New Year, but the New Year in Ajia Village is in June.

The customs of each place are different, this Qi Xuan has long known.

On this day, Concubine Dou cooked a table full of good dishes and made a pot of dumplings. If you can’t finish it, you can save it for the first day of the new year, which is called surplus every year.

While eating dumplings, Aunt Dou suddenly thought of her son Yikang. After the new year, my son will be four years old, and I don’t know if I should remember her mother.

The New Year’s Eve was originally a year of reunion, but now she doesn’t even know how tall, short, fat or thin her son is. Thinking of this, Aunt Dou couldn’t help but redden her eyes.

Qi Xuan put a piece of fish meat into Concubine Dou’s bowl and said, “Don’t be sad, you will definitely see Yikang next year during the Chinese New Year.”

When Concubine Dou heard this, she looked at Qi Xuan, then turned to look at Gu Jiu: “Can we go back next year?” What Qi Xuan said didn’t count, only Gu Jiu said it.

Gu Jiu said, “If you want to go back, I can send someone to take you back after the New Year.” As for Qi Xuan, the Queen Mother can only go back if she agrees.

Aunt Dou hesitated and asked, “Then can I come back after I have seen Yikang?”

Gu Jiu shook his head: “If you leave, you can’t come back.”

Concubine Dou couldn’t help but said, “Then I won’t go back.” Although the life here was hard, she felt that this was the life of a normal person. Unlike in the palace, intrigue and tiring.

When Qi Xuan heard this, he looked at Aunt Dou, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

In the evening, Qi Xuan looked in the direction of the capital and said, “Father, mother, I hope the baby can stay by your side next year and spend New Year’s Eve with you.”

Gu Jiu stood beside him without speaking. According to the Empress Dowager, King Xuan must stay here for at least three years. Therefore, King Xuan’s wish will definitely be in vain.

Yunqing also misses Qixuan very much, so he lay in bed at night and said to Yuxi, “Yuxi, Qixuan has been changed, let him come back next year to celebrate the New Year with us!”

Oak-hee shook her head and said, “No, what if it changes back to the way it was when you come back?”

“Then when are you going to let him come back?” After speaking, Yun Qing said, “I’m so old. If you don’t let him come back sooner, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see him before I die.” A trip back and forth from the capital can also be reached in half a month, day and night. But the road to Shudi was difficult, and it would take a month and a half to rush back after hearing the news. I’m really sick, how can I last so long.

The older you get, the more you can’t hear it being alive or dead. Yuxi said with a dark face: “Don’t worry, the scourge has left a thousand years, and I am fine, you will definitely not die.”

Seeing that Yuxi was angry, Yun Qing took her hand and said, “Yuxi, I miss Ah Xuan.” Beside him, seeing him absurdly angry, he refused to fight. After being away for so long, I miss you again.

Oak Hee sighed and said, “I miss him too. But he has to wait for his painting skills to improve before he can come back.

Yun Qing was silent and said, “Listen to you.”
