Chapter 183 Literacy
Li Rong's brown eyes rolled, and he joked unintentionally: "Then he must not have married a wife yet? If he married a wife, he would often stay in the kiln and be busy firing the kiln. This Didn’t you leave your wife alone?”
Meng Changchun saw that Li Rongzong might have already married a wife at this age, or maybe he just got married. Without thinking much, he smiled and said: "I haven't married a wife yet, and I'm looking at him. Once I marry a wife, it will be different! I came here like this, what can be better than a wife's hot bed! Ha!" !”
He smiled, and realized that there was a female doll opposite him. It was not easy to say such nonsense. He felt embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, and wanted to invite them to the room for tea again.
Pomegranate declined politely and stopped going in to drink tea. She only asked how much money it would cost to burn these water pipes and how much deposit she should pay first.
When it comes to business, Meng Changchun is completely different. He said: "Our pottery kiln usually bakes a vase without any color for fifty cents. Your water pipe does not need the color, but it is not more troublesome than the vase to burn." Less - considering that they are all from the countryside, I don’t want more from you. The cost cannot be lost. , What do you think of such a stick, even if it costs you one hundred cents? "
Pomegranate sounds like one hundred cents, although it is expensive, but it is acceptable. After all, it costs so much money to burn a vase. This water pipe is much longer than a vase and uses a lot of materials. One hundred yuan is considered a generous price.
Just to make all the necessary water pipes, I am afraid that money will be needed. It will be painful for my parents to know about it. After all, this can be enough to build several houses.
Pomegranate stuck out her tongue and immediately made a deposit with a handful of silver, making an appointment to pick it up in half a month.
Meng Changchun also did things well. He immediately wrote a note with a receipt for the deposit and gave it to Shiliu.
Seeing that he could also write, Shiliu asked curiously.
Meng Changchun only smiled and said: "When I was young, I learned to read some words from my master. If I didn't write well, it made you laugh."
Li Rongzong was sincere, shook his head and said: "We I can’t even read. Mr. Meng, can you write well? We don’t know either!”
Hearing what he said, Meng Changchun couldn’t help laughing, and he was also curious about how someone could afford to burn such a rare thing and put it on a mule cart. , why didn’t you send your children to a village school for a few days to learn Braille?
But he didn’t ask too many questions. He asked less about the guests’ affairs and just prepared what the guests needed carefully. This was what he had been doing in business for so many years.
After the mule cart left Dade Village, Shiliu spoke. She looked at Li Xiangli and said, "Sister, did you just take a peek?"
Li Xiangli couldn't help but blush, she just heard Listening to the sound outside, she lifted the curtain and took a quick look. She only saw Meng Dongsheng with his arms exposed, so she was so frightened that she quickly lowered the curtain and didn't dare to look again. At that glance, she didn't even see the man's appearance clearly. What does it look like? It just looks pretty dark.
She thought that cousin Rong Huai from the uncle's family was quite dark, and she never thought there was someone darker than him.
It’s so dark and there’s no light at night. Can you see him?
After thinking about it for a moment, she immediately blushed and quickly shook her head.
But when Shiliu saw her shaking her head, she thought she didn't notice, and couldn't help but shake her head and thought that her eldest sister was too honest.
I then shared the information with her: "Sister, Meng Dong is growing up very well! Although he is a little darker, his facial features are straight! He is also strong and strong, and his strength is definitely the same. I heard He is also a sincere person, so it's okay anyway!" Li Xiangli blushed again as she thought about the voice she just heard in the car. She just buzzed in response, but refused to say anything more.
Pomegranate saw her blushing and refused to gossip with her. Knowing that she was embarrassed, her eldest sister was already a gentle person, so she did not tease her and just changed her subject: " If Mr. Meng can read and write, then Meng Dongsheng must be literate too. No one in our family can read. This is not possible for our students! The idea is getting bigger and bigger, but I am illiterate. I can’t understand it when I go out to discuss business with people and read documents. I also meet a good person. What should I do if I encounter someone who fools me?”
Li Rongzong, who was driving the car, didn’t even think about it. Said: "Who said our family is illiterate? Brother Zhang has been in school for a month and knows a lot of words!"
"Then you can't tie Brother Zhang to your waistband at all times, right? How good it would be if you could read by yourself! Brother, I have decided that from now on, when Brother Zhang comes back from school every day, he will teach us how to read. Delay his studies , just teach us a few words every day! Don’t talk about whether to write or not, just learn some words first!”
As he said, he looked at Li Xiangli and said, “Sister, you have to study hard. Look at the Meng family pottery kiln workshop. It's not small. Meng Dongsheng's kiln has two brushes. This business is not bad. If the marriage with his family is very good, it can be successful. In the future, if you get married, you can read and write. Even if it is not much, it is still very good, right? ?”
Li Xiangli was a little moved when she heard that both the Meng family and her son could read and write. Although it didn’t matter whether the woman was literate or not, she thought that if she could read some words, it would be better than being blinded. He couldn't help but nodded.
Li Rongzong outside thought that he didn’t recognize the signboards every time he entered the city. He was silent and then expressed his position, "Sure! Let’s all learn! Let Brother Zhang teach! Hey, let’s talk about it It’s a great blessing to have this good relationship! Brother Zhang will teach us after he has learned it. Isn’t this equivalent to us all going to school?” Is it better than going to school seriously?
However, literacy is finally officially on the agenda. With her "smartness", it is normal for her to know and write many words within a few months, right?
After returning home, Li Xiangli blushed and hid back in the house, while Pomegranate happily went to find Mrs. Song to tell her what she had seen today.
Mr. Song happened to be talking to old Mrs. Yuan. When Shiliu mentioned her impressions of the Meng family and his son, Ms. Song couldn't help but laugh, "I knew that the person your aunt and grandma would like is the right one." Can’t go wrong! ”
< br>Pomegranate "seeing each other" in advance made Mrs. Song feel a little more energetic. When it was Huang Yuan's birthday, she dressed up her eldest daughter early, packed it up herself, and put it on. That pair of honors given to me by my children.
Lao Yuan also put on the clothes newly made by Song. The three of them got on the mule cart and brought the gifts prepared for Huang Yuan. Li Jihe drove the mule cart out. Door, go to Huangjiacun.
Li Rongzong and Shiliu didn't go. After all, they had shown their faces that day. It's hard to say how they met today. Although they had a good impression of Meng Dongsheng, seeing each other seriously was different.
If we don’t get along well, it doesn’t matter if they don’t go. If we get along well, there will always be a chance to meet later.
Li Jihe's injury has been recovering for more than a month, and he is almost healed. He doesn't do heavy work and just catches a train, so there is still no problem.
Lao Yuan had just recovered from her illness. Mrs. Song was afraid that she would not be able to bear the ride in the car, so she kept asking Li Jihe to slow down. She also greeted Lao Yuan along the way, for fear that she would be in trouble. Comfortable.
Old Yuan was cared for closely by his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and his heart felt warm and tight. Most of the initial gloom had dissipated, and the remaining bit of it would take time to heal.
