continuation [farming]

No one seemed to understand Xia He's ambition, but this didn't bother him.He went back happily to serve his small yard as usual. If Xia He didn't say anything, probably no one would be able to see that this small yard was divided into many pieces, and each piece had his own With the line drawn by the toes, the density of corn seedlings in each piece is different, and the amount of water and fertilizer applied is also different.

Like an emperor inspecting his territory, Xia He paced back and forth between the square inches.

Until Jinbao started crying, Xiaowazi was hungry again.

Xia He hurriedly ran over, stopped Jin Bao in his arms, nodded his nose, and said, "You are free, you can eat or sleep! Come, Auntie will take you to find something to eat for you!"

After feeding Campbell, another day passed.Xia He rested on the bed, closed her eyes, and immediately remembered the dispute with Zhang Shiyi today.

He has a temperament that makes him worry when he sees words. I really don't know what kind of high hopes Zhang Shiyi has placed on him, so that he has been letting him study and study since he was a child, even if the family has no money to buy it. To buy a pen with paper, you also need to use a plate of fine sand and a wooden stick to write out the book in Zhang Shixi's mind word by word.

At that time, Xia He didn't expect that her father didn't shrink back after a few words from him, and still counted on him to work hard.

This waited until Li Mu went home next time.Zhang Xi leaned on a hoe and looked around the only road leading to Raonan Town in Anle Village. When he saw Li Laosi driving back, he hurriedly stopped the car and shouted: "Hey! Li Laosi! Please stop for a while. !"

"Brother Mu, it's your father-in-law's family." Li Laosi shouted to stop the donkey, and said yes behind his back.

Li Mu hurriedly got out of the car, holding his bookcase in his hand, and asked Li Laosi to go home first, and greeted Zhang Shishi respectfully, "Father-in-law."

This ceremony made Zhang Shiyi feel awkward.

It's not that Li Mu didn't know etiquette in the past, he has always been a person who abides by etiquette, and he used to be very respectful to Zhang Shiyi, but now he seems to be very courteous in it.Zhang Shixi paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, Xia He's matter was more important, so he said: "I need to trouble you with something before I stop you."

"Father-in-law, please tell me." Li Mu said.

"Xia He's temperament... If you have time, check his homework for me." Zhang Shiyi was bored for a long time before he said this unfeeling request.

He came here to find Li Mu without telling Lan Niang.Ever since Lan Niang noticed that Li Mu seemed to have feelings for Xia He, if she hadn't had an excuse, she would have taken Xia He home to live with her long ago, and would not have asked the two of them to meet.Zhang Shiyi is also not happy to see the two of them getting bored, but now Xia He doesn't live in the Zhang family, and when he comes to help, he just runs away after finishing his work. He really can't catch him, so he can only entrust it to Li Mu.

Li Mu looked a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked about the school exams.Zhang Shixi immediately reported Xia He's study progress, because Xia He's studies had always been done by Zhang Shishimo, so the homework was quite fragmented.After counting for a while, Zhang Shixi waved his hands and said, "That's all, hey."

Li Mu sorted it out a bit before agreeing to bid farewell to Zhang Shiyi.

After returning home, Li Mu greeted Mrs. Li, then went back to the study and asked Aunt Lin to call Xia He over.

When Aunt Lin went to look for Xia He, she pouted towards Li Mu's yard and said, "Madam, Master told you to go to his study."

"Oh." Xia He had no doubt about him, and was about to leave with Jin Bao in his arms.

This time Aunt Lin didn't care whether Jin Bao was close to her or not, she just carried the little baby over and said, "You go on your own, the young master will let me send the old lady there."

Xia He was a little strange, and Jin Bao hadn't seen his father for some days, since Li Mu wanted to find him by himself, then he took Jin Bao to show Li Mu what's wrong?But before he could say anything, Aunt Lin hugged the child like oil on her feet and ran away. Xia He couldn't stop her, so she could only look for Li Mu suspiciously.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw Li Mu holding a book in his hand.

Xia He said: "Master, I'm back from the academy, and the provincial examination is still early, so let's take a rest."

But Li Mu said: "Xia He, come."

As he spoke, he handed out the book in his hand.

Xia He didn't answer, and looked at Li Mu blankly, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.Li Mu had no choice but to send it forward again until it reached Xia He's nose.

"Sister...why do you give me this?" Xia He pretended that she didn't know anything, but she had a faint guess in her heart. Could it be that Zhang Shiyi went to Li Mu and asked him to teach him to continue studying?

Seeing Xia He's appearance, as if what he handed was poison, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Father-in-law asked me to check your homework. I think you probably don't know how to study these days, so I'll take it for you to review first." After a while, I will choose a passage that you have recited and listen to your opinion."

Looking at Xia He's expression, not only reading this book is like reading poison, but also looking at Li Mu's whole person, as if Li Mu is trying to kill him.

Li Mu could only say softly, "You don't have too many burdens at home, so you might as well take some time out to study hard, and don't make your father-in-law worry about you all the time."

Xia He muttered: "Why do you say that I have nothing to do all day long?"

"Okay, you're not busy, but it's not the busy season, so it's okay to spare some time every day? I'll leave this study room for you. All the books are here. Come and sit every day." Sit down, it doesn't take much, half an hour is enough." Li Mu wondered about Zhang Shiyi's appearance, and he was afraid that the quarrel with Xia He would not be pleasant because of this matter, so he didn't intend to force it, but talked it out.

But seeing that Xia He still looked unhappy, Li Mu could only sigh and said, "You don't want your father-in-law to be sad, do you?"

This fact made Xia He feel a little bit uneasy about his conscience, he took the book frantically, and confirmed it once: "It's only half an hour? Don't you need more?"

"No need." Li Muying came down, "When I go home every ten days, I will see where you have read. If you don't understand anything, just ask me, is that okay?"

After weighing it over, Xia He felt that this was not particularly difficult to accept, so he nodded and said, "Let's leave it at that." Seeing that Li Mu was about to speak again, he hurriedly said, "Start tomorrow!"

Li Mu shook his head and said: "Okay, as long as you study hard in the future, I will listen to you this time."

Hearing this, Xia He didn't want to be bored in this study for even a second, so he threw away the book in his hand and hurried away, saying: "Then let's go, my husband and I should go and talk to my mother, who was still thinking about it yesterday." And you!"

This was not an excuse Xia He was looking for. Mrs. Li had been thinking about when Li Mu would come back since Li Mu had just left, but when Li Mu was at home, it was more important to persuade him to study.Seeing Li Mu this time, Mrs. Li asked about Mr. Ling: "Mu'er, come here and tell Mother, how are you doing after paying homage to the teacher?"

Li Mu chattered with Mrs. Li for a long time, and Xia He took Jin Bao out to play without caring about their mother and son.

This is one more thing that Xia He should be busy with every day.

Originally, after Li Mu left, Xia He wanted to sneak around and be lazy, but she never thought that Li Mu would ask Aunt Lin to watch him.Whenever Xia He comes back from outside, or when she sees that it is getting dark, Aunt Lin will always urge Xia He to study, and she will stay at the door, and she will let him out at least half an hour. It has always been done exactly.

Aunt Lin is no better than Zhang Shishi.No matter how much Zhang Shiyi blew his beard and stared, he was Xia He's biological father after all. He insisted, and ran back, Zhang Shiyi was gone.Xia He had seen Aunt Lin's gatekeeping posture before, blocking the door of Li Mu's study, staring at him, saying that if Xia He deserted for half an hour, he would delay the time.

Of course, Aunt Lin has no control over how much Xia He has seen.

The Li family has several walls of books, including a single copy. It is difficult to find a second copy in the county, and there are quite a few of them, all of which are handed down by the ancestors.When listening to Li Mu's introduction, Xia He was thinking that if her father were allowed to enter this room, she would go crazy with joy.It's a pity that Xia He himself didn't have much interest in these things, so he just randomly picked out what Zhang Shiyi explained.

The book in his hand was used by Li Mu when he was a monk. The side is densely filled with small characters, some of which are childish, some are neat, and some are finally tangible.Reading this book is like watching Li Mu grow up.Xia He looked interesting, lying on the table, tried to distinguish Li Mu's small characters, which ones were written earlier and which ones were later, and counted how many times he had read the book, having a great time.

After careful calculation, Li Mu was about to come back soon, and Xia He realized that he hadn't read the books seriously, but Li Mu had said that he would come to the school to test himself.

He hurriedly turned two pages, but then slumped down on the table again, thinking in his heart that although Li Mu had a cold face, he was a very kind person, so he probably wouldn't embarrass himself too much.

Thinking of this, Xia He couldn't get up the energy to continue studying.

So Xia He got a good pass in the exam by Li Mu and wanted to memorize it, but he didn't memorize a few paragraphs.If you want to explain, the explanation is still a bit organized, but why does it sound so familiar.Flipping through the book, isn't this what I wrote when I was a child?

Li Mu quickly put down the book in his hand, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'll find you a scripture explained by famous masters. I was young at the time, so why do you take it as a golden rule and memorize it?" gone."

Xia He actually breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Li Mu was not really angry.

But as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Li Mu said slowly: "It's just that I didn't study hard after seeing your progress. If it happens again next time, then an extra half an hour will be added every day. Come read."

"Don't, don't! I'll recite it!" Xia He hurriedly said.He was not afraid of Li Mu, but he was afraid that Li Mu would tell Aunt Lin again and let Aunt Lin look at him. Xia He sighed and said yes, "Isn't it two days of busy work? The corn has grown so fast recently. When the sun is at its highest, you can still hear them growing up!"

Li Mu didn't farm the land. Hearing what Xia He said, he became curious.After thinking about it, he said: "Why don't we go and have a look in the field today?"

"Huh?" Xia He was taken aback. Li Mu squatted in his yard to help him with work last time, which was enough to surprise him. This time, he wants to run to the ground?
