Chapter 116 Niu Tianci Biography (10) - Good luck for the market

Studying, asking the teacher, hitting the phone if it's not good... This made Tianci not even eat properly.What is a book?Although Mrs. Niu talks about officialism, there are no books in Niu's house.Old man Niu recites the small libretto occasionally, the main purpose is to recite a few lines so that he can close his eyes faster.There is no certain number of days in a small songbook, and it is not certain which day it will be wrapped with copper plates.Tianci doesn't know what a book is, let alone why he reads it.The word "teacher" also sounds familiar, and it's scary—most things with the word "old" are scary, such as "old stuff", tiger... He has to discuss with Si Huzi: "My brothers ask you What are you studying for?"

"If you read well, you will become an official, if you don't read well, you will be punished!" Tianci's heart turned cold. "What is a teacher?" His small eyes showed a begging look, hoping that a teacher is something more charitable. "The teacher teaches you to read with a board in your hand." Si Huzi had to tell the truth, even though it was embarrassing. Tianci was silent, thinking about his idea with tears in his eyes.After staying for a long time, he asked, "Can I beat him?" "No, he's big, you can't beat him." "What about our brothers, you help me?"

Sihuzi is very sad, he can't help his friend; the teacher can't beat him!He shook his head, Tianci cried. The first day of August is almost here!Tianci asked the four tigers six or seven times a day: "How many days are left?" "It's early, there are still three days!" Si Huzi wanted to comfort his friend, but he told the truth.three days!Poor godsend! "Don't be afraid, we can still practice swords after school, can't we?" None of this elicited a godsend smile.There is no need to practice swordsmanship after being hit by the board! "In three days' time, it must be the first day of August?"

"must!" I can't run away!Both friends were silent, waiting for the catastrophe to come.All Tianci’s imaginations are active: maybe the book is a kid, and the teacher is at least a monster, who only eats children, and the more he thinks about it, the more he is afraid, but the fear is vague; he doesn’t know why, why invite a monster for the child?Why do you have to study? "Are we not allowed to play, not even to play well?!" Tianci's care exploded.He intuitively knew that playing was his right, why did he take it away?Why? Sihuzi was stimulated, and he thought of his childhood: "You are much better than me! You are seven years old? I haven't played since I was six years old. Picking up coal cores, picking up rotten paper, and helping my mother to do things all day long." Hard work, no time to play. Eight years old, my mother died.” He was stunned for a while: “Eight years old, I went to sell ice cores in summer, and sold half-empty groundnuts in winter. Pulling bellows at night; later I went to sell ice cores, I ran out from a knife shop, but couldn’t bear the smoke and heat from the bellows—even my feet were covered with prickly heat covered with white pus, in patches! And I was beaten! Twelve years old I've been here as a reminder until now! You're much better! Don't be afraid, I'll play with you after school; don't lie! We'll be good friends forever, won't we?"

Tianci got a little comfort.But once in the inner courtyard, this comfort is hard to exist. "Seeing that you are still using bricks to slip my window?!" Ji's mother saw that Tianci had reached the age of school, how could she not think of her own child; thinking of her own child can still be angry with Tianci? "I'll circle you all day long and let the teacher take care of you, right! Seeing that you're still naughty, beat me with a big board, so I have time to persuade you!" "Do you need to persuade me? I'll beat you up first!" Even though he was so talkative, Tianci's heart felt cold.

Mom still can't stop admonishing.The more I avoid her, the more I meet her, and when I meet her, I will have a meal: "Fuguan, you are about to be a student, do you hear me? There are rules in everything. The teacher is not so easy to talk to my mother. If she is wrong, she will hit her. If you can't memorize the book, you will be beaten. Be careful! Read it carefully, grow up to be an official, and honor your ancestors, do you hear me?" Tianci dared not listen, lowered his head, curled his nose, and wanted to cry in his heart, but he didn't dare. He wrung his hands back and forth until his fingers turned white.

Dad is the last hope.Mama Ji is insignificant.Mom's words will always be something later: what will happen when she grows up to be an official, and what will happen after she dies.Si Huzi spoke from the heart, but he didn't invite the teacher, of course he didn't know what the teacher was like.I have to ask Dad, Dad knows. "dad!" "What's the matter, kid? Please sit down!" Dad just loves to hear the word "Dad", and he likes it so much that he doesn't know what to say. "When is the teacher coming?" "The first day of August."

real! "Does the teacher like to beat people?" Tianci's heart wanted to jump out. "I don't know." The old man Niu was telling the truth.According to him, Mr. Lao Xiangsheng's account manager is very kind, not like beating someone; but if his wife persists in entrusting him with it, "Old Shandong'er" may not fail to show his skills.This tall, big-eyed gentleman, if he hits someone, he will take it seriously.He only cared about Shu Xiu giving bonuses, but never thought about the issue of beating people.He felt a little sorry for Godsend.He didn't want his son to be beaten, but he couldn't resist his wife's discipline.His disadvantage is that he has no claim. "We'll have to discuss it," he said apologetically.Tianci saw an opportunity, and imitated Mama Ji's tone when she was in a hurry: "If the teacher wants to hit me, I will die!"

"Don't die!" The old man grabbed his yellow beard and thought of an idea: "Well, let me tell the teacher first, don't hit anyone! If he hits you, I will deduct his wages!" Tianci felt a little better. "The teacher also gets paid, so I will deduct some from him first!" The old man Niu felt a little sorry for Wang Baozhai.In a dilemma, I came up with a good way: just so-so.My mother is well-organized and doesn't allow others to talk; my father is so-so and doesn't care about everything.Tianci lived seven years between a piece of iron and a piece of tofu.

The first day of August has arrived!Tianci is not afraid, nor is he not afraid. For a while, he thinks the teacher is a monster, and for a while, he thinks of deducting the teacher's salary. Putting on the little mandarin jacket again, waiting to pay homage to the teacher, Godsend was like waiting for thunder after a flash, his face turned red and white. The teacher is here!When the four tigers reported, their voices were a little off. Tianci didn't dare to look at it, but was willing to look at it. He lowered his head and scanned it with the corners of his eyes: It turns out that the teacher is a man, tall, and he can't see the edge at a glance!

The teacher didn't seem to pay much attention to Tianci, and only talked to his parents. The voice was loud, and the room seemed to be buzzing. Tianci only heard the voice, but couldn't understand what everyone was saying; he felt very Flustered, as if all the familiar things suddenly changed, even looking at the bright red apples on the fruit plate was not tempting. Mrs. Niu wants to test the teacher, what book should she read first?The teacher advocated reciting, and declared that together with the "Four Books", it is the "Five Classics". The old man Niu thought that the "Five Classics" were too deep, but his wife thought otherwise: "The deeper the better! How can you be an official if you don't go deep into it!" These are meaningless to Tianci; he understands the following sentences: "Teacher Wang," his mother's tone is very euphemistic: "It is serious to chase his books, and it is more important to discipline him. Beat him yourself, if you don't beat him No materials!" "Tender skin and tender bones!" the old cow said in a low voice.The wife didn't hear it.Tianci's heart fell down instead, I can't run away, just wait to be beaten, "Damn it!" At such a time, I suddenly heard the teacher say: "First worship the saint!" Tianci was startled again, and looked around, but couldn't find any saints or strangers. Mrs. Niu had already prepared the sage card and made a confession on the case.There are wax sticks on the censer in front of the brand, and five plates of fresh fruits.The cow old man lit high incense and put it in the furnace.The old lady Niu pulled her little mandarin jacket and pressed it on the mat: "Kowtow to the saint, nine times, and pray in my heart, I wish you a good memory and a clear mind!" Tianci looked at the fragrant light and smoke, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew that the case was a wooden board, but he respected it out of disrespect. This wooden board is very different from ordinary wooden boards. This is a saint! After paying homage to the saint, the teacher should be worshiped. Wang Baozhai kept being humble, but the old lady insisted on asking him to sit and receive the gift: "Master, master! Teacher and father are the same size!" Li, sweating on his head.Tianci was inexplicable, and it was not good to cry or laugh, and he died with a big mouth. After worshiping the teacher, visit the study.Tianci didn't care to look at other things, only to find out if there was a board or not.It's on the table!Two inches wide, as long as a cigarette pouch.Teacher Wang picked it up and swung it: "It's really good, my buddy!" Tianci thought it would open, his lips turned pale with fright, and he hid behind Dad. "The teacher is just joking, just joking!" the old man Niu explained again and again.Seeing the teacher put down the board, Tianci pretended to smile again, laughing like a dead ghost. Mom went to supervise Ji's mother's cooking; the dishes were ordered from outside, and there were four plates, four bowls and four dishes, which should be steamed or hot.Mama Ji was so anxious that she was sweating, because after steaming and heating, it was no longer as good-looking as before; the old lady had to do it herself. The old man Niu was talking with the teacher in the study, and Tianci stood beside him in a small mandarin jacket, switching legs back and forth, like a chicken about to sleep.He didn't quite understand the content of their conversation, but it was very familiar, just like what Dad used to talk about with customers: shop, market, dental tax, handling goods, 30% profit, high value, letting go... these are familiar but not easy to understand Words interspersed in their words: Maybe this is the book?he thinks. Wang Baozhai can speak very well, and he seems to hit it off with his father.Teacher Wang also wanted to show his skills: he wanted to convince the old man Niu, and asked him to start a business with some money; teaching, he didn't take it to heart.To be idle is to be idle, first have a place to eat, and then talk slowly. When the food and wine were served, the four tigers stuck out their tongues kindly to Tianci while serving the dishes; Tianci couldn't help it, and cried aloud. "Don't cry, kid! Eat with the teacher!" The old man comforted his son. "Don't eat! Don't accompany! Fuck grandma!" "Si Huzi! Take him to play for a while!" Holding Si Huzi's hand, Tianci turned over all the grievances, gasping for air and chattering, tears trickling down the little mantle, dripping loudly. "Come on, come on! My wife can come to the front yard, tell her to hear and refuse!" Si Huzi persuaded: "Wipe your tears! Ah, that's right! Didn't we say that day that Huang Tianba was playing darts—— Who's coming?" Thinking of Huang Tianba, Tianci strengthened his heart.Sihuzi played with him for a while, and said: "I have to serve food." Tianci didn't force him to stay, but only asked: "If there are meatballs, bring two of us." Sihuzi The son smuggled a steamed bun and two meatballs. Tianci used the meatballs as darts and smacked them into his mouth. They were extremely sweet.The next day I started to write the book, but Tianci couldn’t remember it no matter what: “At the beginning of human beings, nature is good.” Teacher Wang stared with big eyes and made his lips dumb, but the apprentice still couldn’t remember.He was originally impatient, but in order to please the old man Niu, he really didn't want to quarrel with Tianci.He looked at Tianci as pitiful, and wanted to talk nonsense with him, but was afraid that Mrs. Niu would hear it.He didn't expect teaching to be so difficult!There is no other way, so I have to die and teach: the beginning of man, the beginning of man, the beginning of man... I don’t know if it was 500 or 550 times, but he slipped: In the beginning of man, the dog bites the pig! "Teacher! I remember, the dog bites the pig!" Tianci was very happy in his heart: "I will tell the four tigers to go! At the beginning of man, the dog bit the pig. As soon as the man came out, he saw and drank, and the dog bit a big pig." sow!" Teacher Wang didn't dare to laugh loudly, but was so suppressed that she wanted to cry instead.He can't ask God to give it away: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, will you say no?" "What's the matter with sex-goodness?" Tianci asked boldly. The teacher asked: "This is a book, you have to remember, don't ask!" Tianci didn't ask any more questions, but he remembered the dog biting the pig to death, and couldn't change his mouth no matter what.Teacher Wang is sweating. If the old lady hears this, what is it like? ! "Let's write first!" The teacher came up with an idea.Tianci also thinks that writing is more interesting than reading: pens, inks, and red molds are more or less easy to handle.Teacher Wang didn't care about it either: Anyway, it's not a long matter, so give him a bum, write it as you like.Godsends the pen to hold the pen well, getting all the ink on the pen, and the belly of the pen is like a full-fledged spider.Then, tilting his head, using his strength, he traced according to the red path; one big black ball, one big black ball after another.After tracing a few words, the ink was dry, so I put the nib of the pen in my mouth to moisten it, and then wiped it with the back of my hand, and a beard grew on both sides of my mouth.I drew two more, and the ink color was not so dark. I was a little unhappy, so I turned over the paper and changed to drawing a villain, which was a bit more interesting.I can draw whoever I don't like, so I draw my mother.I drew a big head and two small feet.While painting, I thought "Hold me and cry a little!" Teacher Wang ignored him all the time, looking at the ceiling and calculating: Brother Niu wants to be able to get three thousand: two thousand for the bottom line; The shop is not bad!Books can't teach, one or two days, it's okay to mess with children; the whole set of books can't be done!After taking a look at Tianci, it's time to draw a villain!Do as he pleases, paint as you like, as long as you don't make a sound and be honest.If you want to fall, you have to take advantage of it before the August Festival; wait for the money to be used, it can be cheaper.Before the festival, it was reversed, tidy up, donate to the store, and wait for approval. It will be able to open at the beginning of September, just in time for winter goods.Well, I have to write a letter to Liu Laojiu and ask about the wool market.He picked up the pen, poured some water on the inkstone, and wiped the pen again and again until the inkstone was foaming.Then, after laying out the paper, I pulled up the sleeves.He was wiping the pen on the inkstone again, wiping and dropping it, which was very powerful.Pressing the paper with his left hand, he took a breath; the pen twirled a few times between his thumb and middle finger.The writing is heavy, thin in the middle, and heavy when it is drawn; once it is drawn down, it is quickly wiped on the inkstone; and the writing is large and coherent, like a string of small crabs.Tianci sees God.How fast the teacher writes!He stopped drawing villains, and began to write like his teacher, very quickly, even faster than the teacher.After the teacher finished writing a paragraph, he read it in a low voice; Tianci drew a series of black things and read it beeping.That's kind of interesting. Until the August Festival, Tianci didn't learn much, but the relationship with Teacher Wang was not bad.At the beginning, he was still a dog biting a pig, but he also learned a lot of Shandong dialect, such as table legs (with beeping), Yin'er, he spoke it very beautifully.As for Teacher Wang's actions, such as pulling up his sleeves, wiping his forehead with a large handkerchief, and staring at his eyes when coughing, he also learned it.Writing is still lumpy, but drawing figurines has made some progress: the one with only a mouth is Ji Ma, and the one with only eyes is Teacher Wang.But he may draw the mouth very small if he likes it. For example, after Mama Ji scolded him, he drew her mouth like a black bean: "See how you eat!" August Festival is the first time to give a boxing gift. Although it has only been taught for half a month, it is a way to save face.Mrs. Niu does not give it away!I have only read two pages of the book, and I only draw villains, and I don't beat students, so I can't give them gifts!If Mr. Wang is willing to do it, he has to make another idea. "But Fu Guan treats him very well," the old man Niu interceded. "You can't leave the child alone!"
