Chapter 116

"This house belongs to my uncle. This is the place along the street. He used it to open the study room. The back is where I live. My aunt is free on weekdays. She sells books, paper and pens. My uncle and big cousin are reading books in the house behind. If they come across acquaintances, they will learn from each other here. " Xiaoshengzi made a brief introduction to the book house.

"Miss Gu, take your time here. I'll go to the back and call my aunt." Xiaoshengzi finished and ran to the back.

Gu Xiaowan nodded. Go to the bookshelf full of books. Gu Xiaowan looks at the neat books in the bookshelf. There are a lot of books which are poems and songs, as well as some unofficial history and travel notes. Gu Xiaowan took a Book of poems and songs from it, but they were never seen and heard. It seems that they should belong to the period before this dynasty.

Gu Xiaowan chose a book that was easy to understand and planned to use it to teach Gu Ning'an how to read and write. As for what the poem really meant, when they went to school, they would naturally be taught by teachers.

"Sister, do you want to buy a book?" As soon as Gu Ning'an entered the library, he became more calm and solemn. His eyes were shining and he looked at the rows of books on the bookshelf. Seeing that her sister took out a book and kept it in her hand, Gu Ningan suppressed her excitement and asked.

"Well, buy one and my sister will teach you how to read from it." Gu Xiaowan said.

"Can the little girl read?" As soon as Gu Xiaowan's voice dropped, there came a full voice from the back of the library.

Xiaoshengzi followed a middle-aged man and came out: "my aunt went out to buy things, not at home. It happened that my uncle was at home."

The middle-aged man was in his forties, with a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his whole body exuded the aroma of a scholar: "little girl, can you read?"

"Know some." Gu Xiaowan said modestly, "when my father was alive, I read some books and read some words. I've taught younger girls. "

"I see!" Just now Xu listened to Xiao Shengzi's brief introduction. Xu Xianlin didn't think it strange for Gu Xiaowan's father's early death: "it's hard for a little girl to know the words."

"I heard that you are going to buy a pen and paper for my brother to practice calligraphy?" Xu Xianlin came to the back of the table and took some paper from the lattice behind. This paper is very common and can be used by ordinary people.

Gu Xiaowan saw that there were some other papers on the grid, which seemed to be much better than this kind of paper, but the estimated price was certainly not cheap. Then Xu Xianlin took out some paper, a few brushes, and finally a inkstone. After taking all the things, he put it on the table. Gu Xiaowan also took the book in his hand and put it on it: "uncle, please calculate it. How much is the total?"

That Xu Xianlin looked at the book, but said: "a total of 20 Wen?"

"Twenty Wen?" Gu Xiaowan seemed to have heard something wrong and repeated, "uncle, are you wrong?"

"No mistake, it's twenty Wen!"

"Girl Gu, you can take 20 Wen. My cousin, it's like this on weekdays. If someone who loves books comes to buy a book, my cousin will not take a cent if he looks at him That little Shengzi sees strange, persuade Gu Xiaowan to take away.

"But..." Gu Xiaowan is a person who can't take advantage of others. She takes so many things. Even if the paper and pen are not counted, the price of the book she just read just now seems to cost 20 Wen. This is not clear. Are these pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones for free.

Xiaoshengzi should also know her own situation. She has nothing to deceive.

However, looking at the uncle's scholarly appearance, she should not cheat this little girl. They have such a big house in town.

"Teacher..." Just when Gu Xiaowan was going to give money, a child about ten years old came in from the outside, holding a book in his hand, and came over eagerly.

"Li Sheng, what can I do for you?" Xu Xianlin saw that what came in was his own students. He did not care to talk to Gu Xiaowan. He quickly came out from behind the platform.

Li Sheng, who was called Li Sheng, was holding a book in his hand, and his eyebrows were all twisted into a pimple: "teacher, I don't understand what this sentence means! Come and ask the teacher

Teacher? Is this uncle a teacher?

Gu Xiaowan was so surprised that she waited quietly for Xu Xianlin to teach her student. Seeing that the student did not understand, Xu Xianlin spoke several times. Until the student quickly understood and understood, Xu Xianlin gave up. After seeing off the student, Xu Xianlin didn't expect that there were two people behind him with their eyes shining.

One is Gu Xiaowan. Gu Xiaowan plans to send Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping to school after the new year's Eve, but she has been struggling to know which school, where it is and which is better. Many people in the village haven't read books, so they don't know. I don't know anyone in the town. I have to find a school, and I'm sure it will be a while. If we find a good school, if we send it to a bad school, and the teacher misleads his children, it is not worth the loss.Another excited is Gu Ning'an, who really didn't expect that the uncle in front of him was a teacher. Seeing that the child was able to go to school just now, Gu Ning'an was envious and envious. However, he just thought about it and immediately sank his mind down. Now his family is supported by his sister alone. He is the eldest son of the family, and he should help his sister support the whole family. He can't have half the extravagant expectations.

But Gu Xiaowan didn't think so.

Today, their family is in the countryside, and if they want to leap over the dragon's gate, they can only read. Reading can change a person's temperament. Reading can make a person stand out and no longer be bullied. Even if Gu Ning'an failed in the exam, it would be fine. As long as he worked hard, whether he could succeed or not was secondary.

Looking at Gu Xiaowan full of expectations, Xu Xianlin was embarrassed by the child: "baby, you..."

Gu Xiaowan was holding Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping on their knees and cried, "teacher..."

Xu Xianlin saw the three children kneeling down and quickly pulled them up. He was puzzled: "you are..."
