I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

He did want to be closer to Xu Shu.

Mu Jinghua's ears turned slightly red, and Xu Shu caught him red-handed. Xu Shu pinched his earlobe with interest, full of helplessness and indulgence: "Are you not angry anymore?"

Mu Jinghua was dumbfounded again. When had he ever been angry?

But Xu Shu didn't wait for him to answer, he just urged him: "Eat some candy, your face is so pale, you have low blood sugar."

Mu Jinghua didn't understand, but ate it as he was told. The sugar on the tip of his tongue made the medicine less bitter and became even sweeter and more delicious, which made him smile.

Xu Shu comforted the man and felt much better. Jiang Xiao had just finished work, so he asked him what he was going to do with the bamboos on the ground.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know anyone who makes furniture?"

"I know." Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, "It's just that there aren't many bamboos here, so I can't make anything big."

Xu Shu nodded. Anyway, he just wanted a throne.

The armchair should be large, and it would be best to have a small table and a small basket next to it so that he can put some snacks on it and eat snacks while reading a book or basking in the sun.

This day is just right.

After hearing Xu Shu's request, Jiang Xiao quickly understood it. He said that he would come back to take away the bamboos when he delivered the green bricks in the afternoon, and then went home with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

But when Mu Jinghua heard that Xu Shu wanted to use bamboo to make furniture, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He thought he would have a chance to help Xu Shu weave something with bamboo.

But he didn't know how to start.

Moreover, Mu Jinghua thought somewhat helplessly that Xu Shu now didn't even allow him to cook, so he would definitely not agree to let him weave bamboo utensils.

Xu Shu naturally didn't know what Mu Jinghua was thinking. After seeing Jiang Xiao off, he took the young man slowly to the village chief's house.

Just like last time, Xu Shu saw Shen Guang sitting in his yard drinking tea again, but this time Shen Guang saw him from a distance, stood up and waved to him: "Brother Xu, I heard you want to build a house?"

Xu Shu nodded, thinking that news spread quickly in this village: "I came here to tell you about this."

"Looking for someone to build a house, right?" Most villagers would first look for the village chief when building a house. Shen Guang was used to it. He nodded and asked, "Do you have an idea of ​​how many people we will need?"

Jiang Xiao had informed Xu Shu of these matters early in the morning. If they wanted to live there before winter, they would need about 7 or 8 people. But Jiang Xiao was still needed to bring people to build a kiln, so Xu Shu gave a smaller answer and told the village chief that he would need five people.

Unexpectedly, the village chief shouted in surprise: "Are you going to build a blue brick house?"

Xu Shu smiled and answered frankly: "I helped people in town copy books a few days ago, so I saved some money."

Knowledge itself is a kind of wealth in this world, and even knowing a few words can make you stand out. This reason is very convincing.

The village chief nodded in appreciation, showing no sign of doubt, and even invited him, "Come to our house for dinner?"

At this time, he realized that there was a boy following Xu Shu, and was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"

"My brother." Xu Shu smiled, "Little Hibiscus."

When Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu calling him, he took two steps forward and tried to smile at the village chief.

"He's a poor kid, too." The village chief knew whether Xu Shu had a younger brother or not. Looking at the pale and skinny appearance of the kid, there was nothing he didn't understand. He couldn't help but sigh, "Come in and sit down, eldest wife, bring two more bowls of noodles."

Xu Shu quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the village chief. He looked at Mu Jinghua helplessly and sighed, "Let's eat."

Mu Jinghua followed Xu Shu's example and started eating, but unlike Xu Shu, he did not need to discuss building a house with the village chief. But despite this, he still ate much slower than Xu Shu.

He hurried to eat, and finally finished the noodles in his bowl just as Xu Shu finished talking to the village chief. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he heard Xu Shu laughing at him: "No one is snatching it from you."

Mu Jinghua's face turned red at this sentence, and she refused to look up at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu found it very amusing. After saying goodbye to the village chief, he couldn't help wanting to touch his head.

In fact, Xu Shu did so. Although the boy's hair was dry and yellow due to malnutrition, his little head was still very nice to touch. Especially when Mu Jinghua was touched by him, she would blush, which was really cute.

But Xu Shu still had some self-control. As soon as he got home, he took out a children's book from his backpack and handed it to Mu Jinghua.

He thought about it for most of the night last night and felt that no matter what words of comfort he said, it would be of no use to the teenager. Only when the child figures things out on his own can he stand up completely.

Xu Shu thought that "knowledge changes destiny" and immediately decided to teach the children to write and read.

He would definitely not instill in his children feudal ideas such as the emperor is the leader of his subjects. Moreover, young people who have not received any education are quick to accept new things, and the future will definitely not be the same as before.

"The words on it," he turned to the first page, which was a short poem, "I'll read it first."

[Life] - There are many little birds in my heart. Holding them in my arms, I feel so warm. So, I will live forever. So, I can live forever. 】【1】

Mu Jinghua listened to Xu Shunian in a daze. He felt that Xu Shunian's low and somewhat hoarse voice was like the sound of the wind in the valley late at night, blowing and taking away everything of him.

Will it, continue to live?

After Xu Shu finished reading it, he saw that Mu Jinghua seemed to have lost his soul. He felt that the children in ancient times were no different from those in their time. They all didn't want to go to school.

He smiled helplessly. The road ahead was long, so he knocked on the table lightly and called back Mu Jinghua who was distracted: "I'll read it to you again."

Mu Jinghua was still a little dazed and just nodded.

Xu Shu glanced at him and reminded him, "I have to go to work in the town in two days. When I'm not at home, you can go to the village chief's house to practice calligraphy. I'll pick you up in the evening."

"He has a child who is in school. If you don't know a word, go ask him."

Mu Jinghua didn't nod, but just looked at Xu Shu and pursed his lips slightly.

Xu Shu saw that he was reluctant, so he had to use his trump card: "It costs me five cents a day to entrust you to the village chief's care. The money has been paid, and it's too late to regret it."

Hearing this, Mu Jinghua's eyes widened. Five cents? That was the handkerchief that my father had to sew for a long time. How could it be so expensive? It cost Xu Shu five cents a day.

Xu Shu took the opportunity to rub the frightened kitten and said gently, "I will accompany you for a day tomorrow. You should get used to it first. Bring your books, medicine, and candy with you. Remember to hide them well."

"If Shen brat dares to bully you, remember to tell me."

It was too late to regret, Mu Jinghua nodded dejectedly, but he was still happy to hear that Xu Shu would accompany him for a day, and then Xu Shu grabbed him and listened to him reciting poetry.

Xu Shu read it to him twice more, and Jiang Xiao brought bricks. This time Xu Shu did not let him follow, but locked the door and let him read at home.

Although Mu Jinghua was reluctant, he still nodded in agreement.

Xu Shu then went to see Jiang Xiao and said that he had already found five people.

Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "I'll bring five more. The price for each person is the same, not including meals, twenty cents a day."

The price was very fair, so Xu Shu naturally had no objection.

He handed Jiang Xiao the blueprint of the armchair he had prepared, paid for the first batch of bricks and Jiang Xiao's wages, and then casually asked, "Is the guy you like from this town?"

Jiang Xiao was obviously a straight man. When he heard Xu Shu's question, he just smiled and answered, "No, he's from the village next to you. The pregnancy mole between his eyebrows is very red. When I save up enough for the betrothal gift to marry him home, I will definitely have three children in two years."

Xu Shu's mouth twitched, and he slowly said, "Three children in two years?"
