The Little Landlord of Transmigration

Chapter 11 1. Writing

Agui and the others delivered food to Xu Lingyuan's family again later, and also wiped out his dim sum by the way, which made Xu Lingyuan sigh: There are more people than strength.

After playing around with them for a while, Xu Lingyuan was a little tired. After all, his body was an adult soul, and he ran around with a group of children all day long, and his main game was to climb the haystacks in the grain field. , Hide-and-seek or something, I really don't have much interest.

But he is also very helpless, if he doesn't play with them, he really has nothing to do.Although the difference between men and women here is not as serious as in the city, because there are no special conditions, girls also have to help the house, but the division of labor between different age groups is still very clear.

For example, those who play with him are all children aged four to five to thirteen or fourteen, while those over fifteen or sixteen years old are a bit like little adults. They will no longer be playful, but start to play with adults Seriously study farm work or housework, can be said to be the assistant of parents, at this time there is some avoidance between men and women.

All the people who work in the fields here are men, while the women mainly do housework, and rarely work in the fields, unless they are really too busy. After they and the adults have learned everything they need to learn, it is about left and right. Then we can talk about marriage, but we usually go on a blind date and get engaged first, and then we don’t get married until we are around 20 years old, because every family here has a lot of children, and once we get married, we basically have to live alone, so getting married is not an option. As early as Xu Lingyuan imagined.Because they need to be able to live completely independently, their parents seldom ask about it after they are separated, and it depends on themselves whether they live well or not.

Therefore, Xu Lingyuan, who had nothing to do, could only be with Agui and the others.

Sometimes he also watched the adults work in the village, and they told him that they were going to start raising chickens, ducks and geese, so they were all weaving wicker baskets for chickens and other things recently.Xu Lingyuan learned from them that the chickens here are basically hatched by his own hens, but ducks and geese are all to be bought. Xu Lingyuan also agreed with Agui and the others to call him when they went to buy them. .

They were fishing by the lake this morning.Although Xu Lingyuan caught three palm-sized fish in one morning, it still made him excited for a long time.When they went home for dinner at noon, because he and Ah Qi had a fish bucket, he insisted that he didn't want any more fish, but Ah Qi didn't want to, so they went to Ah Qi's house first, and waited for Ah Qi to help him find something to pack.

As soon as they walked to the door of A Qi's house, they saw A Qi's neighbor shouting at them: "A Qi, dinner will be ready in a while, come here quickly."

"Second aunt, no need, I can do it myself." A Qi hesitated for a while, but still refused.

"You kid, you're still talking to me after a meal, come here quickly." His second aunt said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's really unnecessary." A Qi's voice was a little softer, but he still insisted.

"You bastard, I can't call you anymore!" Second Aunt got a little angry.

"I……"

"Don't worry about him, I and A Qi agreed to eat at my house today." Seeing A Qi's embarrassed face, Xu Lingyuan interrupted him and said to A Qi's second aunt.

"Oh, that's it, then you can just tell me no, it will make me anxious! Then you go with Master Xu, and you have to be discerning when you get there, you know? Don't make a sound like you did to us. It's all difficult." Seeing that A Qi didn't deny Xu Lingyuan's words, she didn't insist anymore.

"Are you home alone today?" Xu Lingyuan looked at A Qi who was opening the kitchen door and asked, the door of the main room was also locked.

"Well, father, mother, and the others have all gone to grandfather's house." A Qi answered him while fishing out the fish in the bucket.

All the fish were fished into the big wooden basin. Xu Lingyuan took a look and saw that there were eleven fish in total, that is, A Qi caught eight fish. Although they were both in the same tree, the results were still much worse.

"I don't want it. It happens that you have a lot of family members, which is enough for a meal."

"You can still fish tomorrow." A Qi said, repacking five slightly larger fish into the bucket, which were obviously for Xu Lingyuan, and then scooped some water into the wooden basin from the water tank next to it.

"These are for you." He pointed to the barrel and said to Xu Lingyuan.

"Then you come with me to my house for dinner?" Xu Lingyuan asked him.

"No, I have something to eat."

"Then I don't want fish either."

"..." A Qi didn't expect Xu Lingyuan to do this, and looked at him helplessly.

"I want these fish, you come to my house for dinner." Xu Lingyuan didn't believe that he couldn't persuade a child, and he felt that A Qi's mood was a little bit wrong from just now, so he played with him with a child's face.

"..."

"Let's go, I forgot to tell you, I'm the only one in my family today, and Eminem and the others have all gone to the city, so it's time for you to accompany me." Xu Lingyuan said, picking up the wooden barrel containing the fish, and walked out of the kitchen wait for him.

"It's already noon, hurry up!" Xu Lingyuan urged him.

Under his persistence, A Qi finally locked the kitchen door silently, took the wooden bucket in his hand and left with him.

"They have all gone, why don't you go?" Xu Lingyuan asked curiously on the road. He didn't hear that they were going to visit relatives when he went to find A Qi in the morning. Didn't A Qi know? In short, he couldn't understand why he just Leave a small child at home.

"It was agreed yesterday that I don't want to go."

"Oh, I said why didn't I see your younger brother and sister go to the lake today." Xu Lingyuan suddenly realized.

"By the way, do you know how to cook?" Xu Lingyuan asked him.

"...No." A Qi said with some embarrassment.

"Then didn't you just say yes?"

"There is still the rest of the morning meal in the pot, just heat it up."

"Oh, I don't know how to cook either. I thought you would. What should I do now?" He pretended to be distressed.

A Qi didn't expect that the two of them would have nothing to eat, looking at him, he didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, Eminem and the others will make lunch when they leave, just heat it up like you when you go back." Seeing that he took it seriously, Xu Lingyuan stopped teasing him.

"You don't really want to eat my cooking, do you? I can only cook instant noodles... But I can't do it now." Xu Lingyuan found that as soon as he relaxed, he would easily say the wrong thing, but facing Ah Kai, he wasn't worried.

"You know how to make noodles?" A Qi probably thought that instant noodles were just a kind of food he had never heard of, so he was surprised that Xu Lingyuan, the young master of the landlord's family, could cook, and none of the boys in his village could.

"I've read how to do it in the book, so it shouldn't be difficult." Xu Lingyuan didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say that.

After hearing this, A Qi just glanced at him and didn't speak.

"I'm almost home, carry it for me for a while." Letting him carry it all the time, Xu Lingyuan felt like bullying a child, even though he was also a thin child now.

"No need." As expected, A Qi ignored his words.

After eating, they spend time in the house.

In the room where Xu Lingyuan slept, A Qi saw the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the bookshelf. Most of the things on the shelf were brought by Xu Siyuan when he came last time. Seeing that he was curious, Xu Lingyuan took them to the table.

"Can you write?" Xu Lingyuan spread out the paper, sharpened the ink according to the way he remembered, and asked A Qi who was watching intently beside him.

"Well, not much." A Qi said seriously.

"Then try it." Xu Lingyuan handed him the brush when he heard that he could write.

"I don't know how to use this." A Qi didn't pick up the brush, "I always use branches to write on the ground."

"It's okay, you can write. I don't use these much anyway." Xu Lingyuan encouraged him.

A Qi couldn't help but tried, but he couldn't grasp the strength at first, after all, the brush is much softer than the branches.After a while, after getting used to it, he first wrote his own name on the paper: "Qin Wenqi". Although it is not pretty from a calligraphy point of view, it is very correct.

"Who taught you?" Xu Lingyuan was curious.

"My mother." A Qi paused for a while and said.

"Your mother knows how to read? Can you brothers and sisters know it?" No wonder Xu Lingyuan was curious. In his impression, A Qi's mother was a woman who was quick in hands and feet, but always scolded her children loudly. She seemed to have no patience with children. I didn't expect to teach them to write.

"I know how to do it myself. I have long since stopped learning." A Qi seemed a little depressed.

"Oh, do you still want to learn? If you want, I can teach you." Xu Lingyuan didn't know why he didn't learn again. He should like him just now, but he didn't think he should ask, so he changed the subject.

"It's useless to learn." He obviously had a very excited expression, but he still refused.

"It's fine if you like it, and it's convenient to remember something in the future." Xu Lingyuan tried to persuade him, why are children so awkward?But for some reason, Xu Lingyuan felt unbearable when this usually silent and steady child showed a sad expression.

"That's how it is. I'll teach you how to write when you have nothing to do in the future." Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Lingyuan took it as his acquiescence, and he also had one more meaningful thing to do.

A Qihui's handwriting is really very few. Except for his own name, he can only write his parents' names, but he studied it very hard. Originally, he insisted on writing on the ground in the yard. Later, they agreed to write on the ground first. Practice before you write on paper.Until Eminem and the others come back.Ah Qi took the initiative to go over to help move things, and after finishing his work, regardless of E'Mu's persuasion, he went home with an empty wooden barrel.

Xu Lingyuan, who was lying on the bed at night, thought that Aqi's house was also quite interesting.Although Aqi's mother always scolded the younger ones in the family, she never seemed to have scolded Aqi. She even only taught Aqi to write, but they didn't seem to be that close, and why did they go to their grandfather's house? Why not take him, although A Qi said he didn't want to go, but Xu Lingyuan still felt a little strange, but none of this had anything to do with him, he could only think about it this way, he definitely wouldn't ask A Qi of.

"Forget it, don't think about it. It seems that Changsheng should bring some more paper and ink back. From tomorrow onwards, I have to practice calligraphy myself." He sighed and said.Although the traditional version of Chinese characters is used here, and it has the foundation of the original owner, but when I write it today, it is still far behind the original owner's characters. It is better to practice. I am also a scholar, and practicing calligraphy is also self-cultivation. , a good way to pass the time, nothing bad about it.
