Chapter 182
"How much is eleven eleven?" After Li Qingyou said this, he stood up and prepared to go back to the house. Over there, Manager Cao and the stone quarry owner probably had almost finished talking, and they had to go to the quarry in the afternoon.
Adi grabbed Li Qingyou's sleeve. Although his sister Qingyou said he was right before, he still didn't give up.
"Sister is patronizing my brother who is taking exams for the school. Does your sister know?" There was a trace of provocation in my big eyes.
Li Qingyou raised her eyebrows. She knew this level of multiplication by heart when she was in elementary school, okay?
"Of course." Li Qingyou nodded.
Adi expressed doubts, but did not want to know the answer directly. In the end, the two siblings agreed that Li Qingyou would tell Liu Xiaosan the answer first, and Adi would recalculate it himself.
Li Qingyou pointed to the piles of stones on the ground and looked at Adi, "Actually, this is simpler than the fifteen-fifteen. You just need to take away a few piles of stones and then take away a few stones from each pile.
"
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house.
In the afternoon, I still walked around the quarry, listening to the chatter between Manager Cao and the owner of the quarry. Since Manager Cao had a disagreement with Li Qingyou about the land purchase and was defeated, he was discussing the business in front of Li Qingyou.
That's when it happened.
Li Qingyou knew that he was trying to prevent himself from stealing his skills, but it didn't matter, the progress was there, and the Shen family wouldn't agree if it took too long.
After spending a whole day in the quarry, nothing was achieved except idle talk. We have to continue coming tomorrow.
The group of people got on the carriage and returned to the city. After entering the city gate, Li Qingyou took Adi and Liu Xiaosan out of the carriage, thinking of going to the school.
There are three schools in Qingshan County, basically three generations of old, middle and young people. The one in the east of the city is an old master and an elderly scholar.
Chengnan is a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, known as Yang Xiucai.
The one in the west of the city is Yu Xiucai, who is twenty-three or four years old.
Beef, sheep and fish?
Running wild?
Three scholars on a plate suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt inexplicably happy. Li Qingyou almost laughed out loud.
She had never paid attention to these things before, so the news was told to her by her brother. Now that she saw his brother's family treasures and what he said so clearly, Li Qingyou couldn't help but feel happy.
"It seems that you have already made this plan." Li Qingyou said, "You have done a lot of homework."
There was a moment of embarrassment on Adi's face. He had indeed been preparing for it for a long time. In fact, he had visited every school during this period, more than once, so he was able to find out so much information.
"Niu Xiucai is old, but his talents are average..." Adi paused, then told the truth, "I heard that he almost failed the exam last year... There were seven or eight students, and Shu Xiu was the cheapest."
Scholars also have to take exams every year. Those who pass can continue to retain the title of scholar, and those who fail will be banned.
"Yang Xiucai is quite knowledgeable and has a good temper. He just likes to drink and drinks every day." Adi remembered that Qian Xiucai smelled of alcohol when he was in class and couldn't help frowning, "But I heard that he taught very well.
, he is also quite serious and has produced several talented students among his students.”
"Yu Xiu is the most knowledgeable, and Shu Xiu is also the most expensive. Many people like to send their children to him, and he also has the most students." Adi said.
This was all the news he could find out.
"Sister, which house are we going to?" Adi asked, raising his head.
Li Qingyou thought for a while, "Let's take a look first, starting from..."
I looked at this place, which happened to be in the east of the city, and said, "Start from Sun Xiucai."
Li Qingyou was a little tired. After walking around the quarry with Manager Cao and the quarry owner for a whole day, his legs were a little cramped.
Looking at Ah Di and Liu Xiaosan on the side, they looked like normal people, especially Ah Di, who was jumping up and down and very excited. Li Qingyou sighed silently, feeling as bitter as an old woman.
In addition to being tired, Li Qingyou was also hungry. It was time for dinner, especially with the smoke rising from the kitchen stoves all around. When he passed by a house, the smell of food wafted out... he made him even hungrier.
But she had to endure it, and she had to go to the school to resolve Adi's matter while it was still light. Of course, it was not that simple to study, but there was no rush for anything else.
Niu Xiucai's home is in the backyard of the school. No, it should be said that the school is located in Niu Xiucai's home. The front yard is the school and the backyard is where the Niu family lives.
Li Qingyou originally had a good idea, taking advantage of the fact that all the students were out of school, and went directly to Sun Xiucai to talk about going to school, but who knew that he was in vain when he went there.
"Sir, he went out to visit friends. He probably won't be back until night. Do you have anything to do?" The person who answered the door was an old family member.
Li Qingyou explained the purpose of her visit, but the owner was not at home, so they could not go in and disturb her, so they could only say goodbye and come back another day.
The sky was getting a little dark now, and the remaining people, no, Yang Xiucai and Yu Xiucai were far away. It was too late to rush over, so Li Qingyou decided to go home first.
But I have to buy some more things before I go home.
I looked around and saw that it was not far from Sibaozhai, so I could buy the Four Treasures of the Study and go home.
It was the first time for Adi to go to school. Li Qingyou was very generous in the spirit of education, no matter how hard the child was, and he was very generous. Although he didn't buy all the best ones, they were all mid-range. Liu Xiaosan couldn't help but look at them.
Stunning.
People say that children from poor families cannot afford to go to school. One tael of silver is enough to survive for three months in a family of more than ten people in a famine year, so I bought these for one child.
A thing.
What a loser.
Adi was also very happy. Although the quality of these Four Treasures of the Study was far inferior to those he had used before, the significance was different. Sister Qingyou bought them specially for him and only for him alone.
After coming out of Sibaozhai, Li Qingyou went into a cloth shop and pulled out a few feet of azure and blue fine cotton, which were intended to be used to make robes for his brother.
Now that you are going to school, you can no longer dress casually like you do at home. You must always look like a student.
By the time they returned to Mao'er Hutong, packed up, it was almost dark.
Seeing that the Li family was ahead, Liu Xiaosan suddenly stopped Li Qingyou, "What the hell..."
Li Qingyou looked at him with confusion as he stumbled for a long time without being able to say a complete sentence. She was worried for him, "What's the matter?"
The girl's big bright eyes looked directly at him. Liu Xiaosan suddenly felt embarrassed. He held it in for a long time before he finally said, "Well, I'm wondering if we went too late, just like Niu Xiucai..."
"
What he said reminded Li Qingyou that usually he would visit after breakfast and before noon. This shows respect for others. This is especially important at this time.
They only came to the house after noon to report the funeral. No wonder Niu Xiucai's family didn't even let them in.
