Early in the morning, the entrance of the Li family courtyard was very lively.

Many parents of students come to pick up their children home, and they have been sent to study for 10 years. They have never seen noodles for so many days. They don’t know how they eat or sleep at the Li family, and they don’t know whether they have gained weight or lost weight.

In fact, most of the people who think of this are the landlords. After all, people with a little money have to spoil their children. For example, Xiao Hei's father usually has to take care of his sick wife and raise a few children in the family. In the past few days, the Li family is digging fish ponds. He gets up early every day and goes to earn two liters of corn in the dark, so he doesn't have too much thought to remember the big child.

In the words of Xiao Hei Dad, this kid is lucky. He goes to the courtyard and school and doesn’t have to work. He still has food and drink every day and can have enough food. Which kid in the family is better than this kid, so he is worried about what he does.

After breakfast, Li Xiao and Yang Dayan asked the students to gather together for a brief meeting, which was to explain the holiday, let them remember the date of return to school, etc. Finally, Li Xiao specially commented on several outstanding students in the first ten years, and each of them gave them a reward.

The first place was rewarded with a bucket of corn, the second place and the third place were awarded with five and three liters of corn respectively. He even presented a small banner to each of the three students with the words "First Place for Excellent Students in this Year" embroidered with the words "First Place for Excellent Students in the Year".

The students who took the prize and banner were excited and red in their faces, while the other students in the audience were extremely envious.

The first place is Xiao Hei. Although this kid is ten years old, he is very hardworking. Although he doesn’t have any foundation, he gets up early every day and practices writing on the sand table every day. His efforts are obvious to all and has achieved great results. Therefore, he was rated as the first.

The second one is Liu Huizu. This kid has studied at several schools before, and he has a foundation, but he hasn't studied it very seriously. Now the environment here is good, and no one dares to bully him. He is willing to calm down and study, with good grades, and has performed well among the children of landlords, and was rated second.

The third place Li Xiao evaluated her own girl Li Zhen. This girl has also studied and studied seriously. If she really wants to say that only the grades are concerned, Li Zhen will definitely be ranked first. However, Li Xiao finally gave her the third place, and dozens of other male classmates were exempted from being embarrassed.

"Remember when you return to school. If you are late, you will be fined to sweep the cottage!"

The courtyard door opened and a group of children went out with a smile.

Xiao Hei looked happy, carrying a bag of corn that had just been rewarded in his left hand, a full bucket of rice. He was carrying the steamed buns and eggs he had saved when he was rewarded in his right hand. He saved a total of nine steamed buns and six eggs, which were all obtained from the rewards, and he was not willing to eat any of them.

Now they are all frozen hard and hard. Looking at these white steamed buns, he smiled. His parents and younger brothers and sisters have never eaten white steamed buns. The eggs laid by the two old hens at home have never been reluctant to eat them. They have to save them and take them to Lanxi Street to exchange for money to buy salt.

Liu Huizu also carried a bag of corn, five liters.

The old Liu family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and mules and horses. Five liters of corn are not worth mentioning, but today Liu Huizu carries this bag of rice and thinks it is very precious. This is the reward he has received for his efforts.

"Dalang."

Liu Huizu and Xiao Hei were talking and laughing, as soon as they walked out of the courtyard, someone called him outside.

The servant of the Liu family ran forward with a smile, "Dalang, the master asked me to pick you up."

Liu Huizu nodded, "Actually, it's not too far. I'll just go back by myself."

"It's more than twenty miles away, how can I let Dalang go back? I drove the carriage, and the stove was burned in the carriage, and got on the carriage to warm up."

"It's okay, I'm not cold." Liu Huizu stood at the gate of the yard and did not rush to leave with the servant. "I'll say a few words to my classmates."

The old servant always felt that it was a little different when he looked at the young man who hadn't seen him for only a few days.

Xiao Hei saw his three younger brothers and sisters standing aside waiting for him in the crowd. The three little guys were dirty and thin, especially the youngest brother, who was still wearing snot bubbles, and they searched for his figure in the crowd.

"Huizu, my younger brothers and sisters are waiting for me there. I'll leave first, see you the day after tomorrow."

"See you after tomorrow." Liu Huizu waved to him.

The old servant looked at Xiao Hei and could tell at a glance that he was a tenant cub with patches on his clothes. "Dalang, why are you dating these mud legs?"

Liu Huizu said calmly, "His name is Xiao Hei, and our husband named him Guoliang. He is a very hardworking person. Although he is old and has great strength, he never bullies others."

The old servant disagreed, "A tenant's cub, if he named Guoliang, he would not be able to become a pillar of the country. The dragon gave birth to dragon and phoenix, and the son of a mouse gave birth to only dig holes in the ground. The Sanlang of the Li family is kind and charitable, and he is willing to take his own tenant's cubs to study. However, it does not mean that these people will have any future prospects in the future. The tenant's son will always be a tenant. Read a few words of books and can only be a clerk in the future. You will never be a person of the same level as the Langjun."

Liu Huizu only felt that this was harsh, "My grandfather was also the son of a poor tenant back then. Later, he worked hard as an apprentice and finally became a shopkeeper. Now he has become a landlord. Now he has become a landlord? Today, Liu Guoliang is indeed from an ordinary family and has poor conditions, but who knows what will happen to him in the future? Sanlang once said to us, "For thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, don't bully the young man's poor."

"Thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi, don't bully the young man's poor." The old servant thought this was very interesting, "Li Sanlang is indeed an unexpected person everywhere. With his circumstances, he can indeed say this. But how many people in this world are like the master and Li Sanlang?"

Liu Huizu shook his head, not wanting to talk to him anymore, and turned around to the carriage.

Many students find parents or brothers to pick them up, and they can’t wait to show them what they have learned. Some people directly write their names on the ground with a branch.

Every stroke is quite crooked, and their parents and brothers don’t even recognize these words, but they are all very excited when they look at their children and brothers, after a few days of school, they can write their names.

Especially for those tenants who come to pick up their children, the tenants who have been blind for generations have been blind for generations, and now they have opened their eyes when they see their children, and this joy is beyond words.

“It’s really lively here!”

Cheng Wu and Xue Wu, who came from Chang'an, rode a horse to the gate of the Li family courtyard and happened to see this lively scene.

"Why are there so many people?" Cheng Wu asked in confusion.

"Li Sanlang has run a home school in his yard, which can take free children from his own tenants to study. Many nearby landlords also send their children to the attached school. Now there are no less than forty children studying here. The school is closed for ten days, and today it will be the end of the year."

"Li Sanlang also runs a home school?" Cheng Wuda was surprised. A small country landlord actually started school and enrolled more than 50 students. This is not the courage that ordinary country landlords can have.
