Chapter 60 6, Germination (2)
Seeing that Xu Lingyuan liked it, the fourth uncle would send some apples from time to time, which can be regarded as rare fruits here, but A Qi didn't seem to like it very much, which made him a little bit shocked.
Seeing that he gave it to him happily every time, and walked away a little disappointed after being rejected, A Qi finally couldn't help telling him the reason.
After hearing this, Xu Lingyuan couldn't help but be a bit dumbfounded. It turned out that A Qi thought that only these fruits brought in from other places would be good for the skin, so he couldn't bear to eat them and kept them for himself.After he seriously explained that all kinds of fruits are good, Ah Qicai accepted the kindness again.
Because of this incident, and thinking of the questions raised by the children in the school from time to time, Xu Lingyuan suddenly felt a little powerless.Some things that are completely common sense in modern times are more unbelievable than all kinds of ghost stories here.For example, when he said that eating fruit is good, and the benefits of various fruits are different, they looked at him as if they were looking at a dog skin plaster or a strong pill, but they were talking about washing their eyes with cow's tears. You can see ghosts; all ghosts who hang themselves must carry the beams when they hang themselves; drinking incense ash water can cure diseases and ward off evil spirits.
Even though he wanted to come up with some evidence, there were very few related books here, and even many statements were wrong compared with the modern ones, and it would be better to rely on them than by himself.Fortunately, A Qi is willing to believe in him, which is his greatest comfort in the long journey of science popularization.
Since he opened the school, he didn't have much time to care about the affairs of the city, and naturally he had less and less contact with Xu's family. It wasn't until Xu Siyuan came to see him again that he realized that because of Xu's mother's He almost forgot about this younger brother, and seeing Xu Siyuan looking at him with dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but start to apologize in various ways.
"Brother, did you go back a few days ago?" Xu Siyuan sat next to him, staring at him and asked seriously.
"Well, how did you know?" Xu Lingyuan was a little curious, he just went to his fourth uncle's house, and Xu Siyuan didn't have much contact with them, so how could he know?
"I heard what Uncle Four and Dad said." He was a little embarrassed when he said this, "When I passed by Dad's study, I heard them talk about Big Brother, so I paid attention to it for a while."
"Oh, I heard that there was something wrong with my uncle's house, so I went to have a look. I left in a hurry and forgot to go back. It's my fault." Xu Lingyuan didn't expect that he, who has always been upright, would eavesdrop because he cared about himself, so Sincerely admit your mistake.
"Well, I didn't blame big brother." Seeing his correct attitude, Xu Siyuan finally said with relief, "I also heard from my fourth uncle that he wanted you to set up your own family, but you refused, and said that father can hand over the family with confidence in the future." Here it is, but I don’t think my eldest brother likes these very much.”
"You still know me, Siyuan. I really don't like it." Xu Lingyuan said flatteringly.But he was really not interested in those things, he just provided the method, and the remuneration given to him by the fourth uncle was enough. As for the Xu family's affairs, he never thought of intervening.
"What do you like, brother? Do you want to be a teacher here?" Xu Siyuan sat next to him and asked curiously, "Brother knows so many things, and being a teacher is also very good, but it's a pity that I can't come here often."
"Isn't there Han Yue's help? What the elder brother said may not be suitable for you." Xu Lingyuan comforted him.
"Senior brother Han is indeed talented and brilliant in writing, but his works are just full of emotion and sentimentality, and often miss the gist of the article, unlike his elder brother who is so willing to speak." Xu Siyuan hesitated for a moment, but said bluntly.
"Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Siyuan, you can see these clearly." Xu Lingyuan said with a smile. In fact, he also thinks that Han Yue is suitable for being a literati, not for being a scholar. Politicians, maybe that's why they fail the exam repeatedly.
"Big brother, don't you have any other hobbies?" Xu Siyuan asked a little unwillingly, it would be great if he could be with him.
"Others? When you say that, I really want to advertise." Xu Lingyuan thought for a while and said suddenly.
"What is an advertisement?" Xu Siyuan asked excitedly when he heard something unfamiliar again.
"Uh, it means...to spread widely, to tell many people about one's thoughts and opinions." Xu Lingyuan explained with difficulty.
"Oh, brother, do you mean that besides being a teacher, you also want to write a book? This is a good idea." Xu Siyuan thought for a while, and then agreed.
"Big brother doesn't have that ability." Although seeing him looking forward to it, Xu Lingyuan shook his head and denied it.
He just felt the lack of some common sense here, and thought that the fourth uncle came over a few days ago and said that he had made jam, but he just found some pastry shops, but the other party was not very interested. Finally, one agreed to try it. Try it, don't know how it works yet.
Just like he gave the jam he brought to the children in the village to eat. They all thought that such a strange thing, how could it be the same as fruit?And it's sticky. Since it doesn't have any additives, it certainly doesn't look as good as modern jams, so it's not interesting to look at.It's just that after his explanation and his own attempts, he slowly accepted it, especially girls, many of them liked it.
From this, he realized the importance of advertising. In addition to promoting products, it can also be used to spread some knowledge. After people's vision slowly changes, it will naturally be easier to accept new things.Although he can achieve this goal as a teacher now, it takes too long and the scope is limited.Thinking of this, Xu Lingyuan couldn't help but get excited, as if he had found another thing he was interested in.
It's just that following Xu Siyuan's question, his enthusiasm was quickly cooled by the blow of reality.As Xu Siyuan said, to spread the word here, besides being a teacher and writing books, is there any effective way?Even if it is a book and a theory, will things of this kind of content be widely and quickly spread?Xu Lingyuan didn't have such confidence. The most likely possibility was that he not only had to print it at his own expense, but also could only use it to paste the wall.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little irritable and frustrated, as if all the things he was interested in turned out to be full of difficulties, which only added to the troubles.Just like the greenhouse I was thinking about before, it happened to be stuck by a plastic film.
"Then, is there any other way to advertise?" Seeing him shaking his head, although Xu Siyuan was a little disappointed, he still asked curiously.
"I don't know now, I'm just talking." Xu Lingyuan calmed down and said helplessly.
"I believe that big brother will find a better way." Xu Siyuan believed him very much.
"Okay, I will seriously think of a way." Seeing his serious look, Xu Lingyuan had no choice but to agree.
"Actually, elder brother, you don't have to worry so much. I promised to raise elder brother in the future, so I won't break my promise." As if seeing Xu Lingyuan's emotions, he held Xu Lingyuan's hand and said firmly.
"Yeah, I don't have to worry about it with you here." Xu Lingyuan hugged him affectionately, and said happily, although he was thinking in his heart, if you don't find out about your mother, I'm afraid I'll die and let you take care of me. ?Let's hope this doesn't affect their relationship. "By the way, are you going to stay here today?"
"Well, doesn't elder brother welcome me?" Seeing Xu Lingyuan being so close to him, he finally relaxed and returned to the way he used to be in front of Xu Lingyuan.
"Of course not, it's just that I have to ask Eminem to clean up the place for you in advance." Xu Lingyuan explained with a smile.
"Why clean up the place? Didn't I always sleep with my elder brother? I don't want to live by myself." Xu Siyuan expressed dissatisfaction.
"Uh, this..." Xu Lingyuan didn't know how to explain to him for a while, especially when A Qi was also present.
"I'd better go back to sleep." A Qi who was practicing calligraphy suddenly turned around and said to them a little embarrassed.
Since today is a holiday, and there is nothing to be busy in this season, as the weather gets colder and there are fewer fun things, Xu Lingyuan taught A Qi to practice calligraphy at home.Originally seeing Xu Siyuan coming, he wanted to go back, but he finally had this free time, and felt that he was not an outsider, so I let him continue to practice, while I sat on the bed with Xu Siyuan and talked, and walked over from time to time to read what he wrote. How about it.
"No, if you go back now, there's no place to sleep." Xu Lingyuan said without thinking.
"Brother..." Xu Siyuan looked at the two of them, and said with some confusion and dissatisfaction.
"I feel bored by myself, so I asked Ah Qi to come and accompany me." Xu Lingyuan explained to him, and then tried to discuss with Ah Qi: "Why don't you sleep in the room on the west side today, Ah Qi?"
"Don't bother, I can go and squeeze with Agui and the others." Aqi said in a hurry while packing up the pens and papers in a hurry.
"Agui's body type, can you squeeze past him? Anyway, this bed is big, just take another quilt." For some reason, watching Aqi's movements, he felt as if he was making him suffer. I feel wronged.Anyway, they are all boys, so it doesn't take up much space, and the bed itself is very big, so there is no inconvenience.
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Xu Siyuan with some doubts, and asked why they didn't roll the quilt by themselves when they slept together before?
"You don't need to take the quilt. I like to sleep with my elder brother. It's not very hot on my elder brother's body. It's very comfortable to sleep next to each other." Xu Siyuan didn't seem to have any objections, but insisted on covering him with a quilt.
But his words just solved Xu Lingyuan's doubts. It turned out that he was wrapped up with him.Thinking about it this way, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he happily agreed.
