The Farmer Girl Gets Rich

"This house belongs to my cousin. This is the place along the street. He used it to open this bookstore. The back is where I live. My cousin is fine, so she sells books, papers and pens. I watch My uncle and my eldest cousin are reading books in the back house. If they meet someone who comes to find my cousin, the two will discuss each other here." Xiao Shengzi gave a brief introduction to the bookstore.

"Miss Gu, take your time here. I'll go to the back and call my cousin." Xiao Shengzi finished speaking and ran back.

Gu Xiaowan nodded. Going to the bookshelf full of books, Gu Xiaowan glanced at the neatly packed books in the bookshelf. There are many books that are poems, poetry, and travel notes. Gu Xiaowan took a book of poems and songs from it, but these have not been seen or heard before, and it seems that they should belong to this dynasty.

Gu Xiaowan chose a relatively easy-to-understand book, and planned to use this book to teach Gu Ning'an and the others to recognize and write. As for the meaning of this poem, when they go to school in the future, they will naturally be taught by a teacher.

"Sister, do you want to buy a book?" As soon as Gu Ning'an entered the bookstore, his whole body became more calm and solemn, with his eyes widened, looking at the rows of books on the bookshelf. Seeing her sister took out a book and kept it in her hand, Gu Ning'an suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked.

"Well, buy a copy and go back. My sister will teach you how to read from here." Gu Xiaowan said.

"Does the little girl recognize the characters?" Gu Xiaowan just finished her voice, when she heard a very angry voice from the back of the bookstore.

Xiao Shengzi followed a middle-aged man and walked out: "My aunt went out to buy things, not at home, just because my cousin is at home."

The middle-aged man was in his forties, with a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he exuded the scent of a scholar: "Little girl, do you know the words?"

"Know some." Gu Xiaowan said modestly: "In the early years when my father was alive, I read some books and learned some characters. I also taught little girls."

"That's it!" Just now Xu listened to Xiao Shengzi's brief introduction. Xu Xianlin didn't feel surprised that Gu Xiaowan's father passed away early: "It's really rare for the little girl to learn the characters!"

"I heard that you are going to buy paper and pen for your brother to practice calligraphy?" Xu Xianlin came to the back of the table and took some paper from the grid at the back. This paper is very ordinary, and it is also made by ordinary people.

Gu Xiaowan saw that there were some other papers on the grid, but they seemed to be much better than this kind of paper, but the price is certainly not cheap. Then Xu Xianlin took out some paper, some brushes, and finally took out an inkstone. After all the things were taken, he put it on the table. Gu Xiaowan took the book in his hand and placed it on it. : "Uncle, can you please calculate, how much is the total?"

Then Xu Xianlin glanced at the book, but said, "A total of twenty cents?"

"Twenty cents?" Gu Xiaowan repeated as if she had heard it wrong, "Uncle, did you make a mistake!"

"That's right, it's twenty cents!"

"Gu girl, you can take twenty cents. My cousin, that's the way it is on weekdays. If someone who loves books comes to buy a book, if my cousin catches his eye, he won't take a penny." No wonder, I persuaded Gu Xiaowan to take it away.

"But" Gu Xiaowan is a person who can't take advantage of others. With so many things, even if those pens and papers are not counted, the book just now, after reading it just now, she marked the price, it seems that it will cost 20 cents. This is unclear. , Are these pens, inks, papers and inkstones given away for free?

This little Shengzi should also know her own situation, she has nothing to deceive people.

However, looking at this uncle's scent of books, he shouldn't lie to her little girl. They are in the town, and there is still such a big house.

The "teacher" was just when Gu Xiaowan was about to give the money, a child who was almost ten years old came in from the outside, holding a book in his hand, and eagerly walked over.

"Li Sheng, what's the matter?" Xu Xianlin saw that it was his own students who came in, and ignored Gu Xiaowan and the others, and quickly walked out from behind the desk.

The man called Li Sheng was holding a book in his hand, and his brows were twisted into a knot: "Teacher, I don't know what this sentence means! I came to ask the teacher specially."

teacher? Is this uncle a teacher?

Gu Xiaowan was pleasantly surprised. She waited quietly for Xu Xianlin to teach her student. Seeing that the student didn’t understand, Xu Xianlin said it several times, until the student quickly said that he understood and understood. Xu Xianlin gave up and sent the student away. After that, Xu Xianlin did not expect that there were two people behind, looking at him with bright eyes.

One is Gu Xiaowan. After Gu Xiaowan planned to send Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping to study in the school after the New Year, but she has been suffering from not knowing which school there is, where it is, and which school is better. Many people in the village have never read books, so naturally they don't know. I don't know anyone in the town, it must be a while to find a school. If this is to find a good school, it is okay, if it is sent to a bad school, and the teacher mistakes the children, it is not worth the gain.

Another excitement was Gu Ning'an, who really didn't expect that the uncle with the fragrance of the book in front of him was a teacher. Seeing that the child was able to go to school just now, Gu Ning'an was both envious and jealous. However, he just thought about it and immediately lost his mind. Now the family is supported by his sister alone. He is the eldest son of the family. It should help her sister to support the whole family, without any extravagant expectations.

But Gu Xiaowan thought otherwise.

Nowadays, their family is in the countryside, and they only want to study. Reading can change a person's temperament. Reading can excel and stop being bullied. Even if Gu Ning'an didn't take fame in the exam, it was all right. As long as he worked hard, whether he can succeed or not is secondary.

Seeing Gu Xiaowan looking at herself expectantly, Xu Xianlin was a little embarrassed by this child: "Little baby, you"

Gu Xiaowan took Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping and knelt down and shouted, "Teacher."

Xu Xianlin saw the three children kneeling and bowing to herself, and quickly pulled them up, somewhat puzzled: "You are"
