Chapter 3388 Extra Zhou Yin 3
Zhou Yin ran to the yard, rubbing his butt, and finally escaped the clutches of his elder brother.
Zhou Jin chased out and saw Qian dropping her sewing basket and running out. He raised the stick in his hand and then put it down.
He threw it to the side of the yard, snorted twice under his wife's murderous gaze, and said, "Just spoil him."
When Zhou Jin turned around and went back to the house, Qian twisted Zhou Yin's ear and dragged her into the kitchen. Zhou Yin screamed "Ah ah" and begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."
"Why didn't you admit your mistake in front of your elder brother just now?"
Zhou Yin didn't respond with a playful smile, but held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong. I didn't pay attention to the time today, so I came back late."
Qian was very worried. "Second brother, you have always been sensible, but you are still young. You are so young. Your eldest brother and I were already worried when you went to the county town, and now you are coming back so late."
"Not to mention that there are bad guys in the county town, we're also worried about you coming back through the mountain road," Qian said, "what if you encounter a wolf?"
Zhou Yin: "Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong. I just forgot the time today, that's why I came home late. Look, my brother hit me just now, but I didn't run away. He hit me several times."
He knew that he was wrong today, so he let Zhou Jin beat him to vent his anger, otherwise he would have run away long ago.
"What's late?"
Zhou Yin's spirits lifted, and he immediately said, "I'm going to listen to someone reading. Sister-in-law, I can read now. Listen, the universe is vast and boundless..."
Zhou Yin shook his head and recited the sentence he had finally memorized, following the students' arguments. He said firmly, "I remember it now, and I have to remember it tomorrow too."
Qian's eyes widened in surprise. "You, you can read?"
Zhou Yin scratched his head and smiled, "I don't know the characters. I haven't seen these characters before, but I can recite them."
Qian was speechless for a long time, and couldn't sleep for a long time when she returned to her room at night.
Zhou Jin was a simple-minded person who took things lightly. Right now, he was sleeping soundly with his arms and legs spread out.
Qian finally nudged him, and after waking him up, she said to him, "The second son is very smart. He went out to study and memorized the book in one day."
Zhou Jin asked dazedly, "What are we doing? We have to go make compost tomorrow. You're right. We can't let Lao Er go to the county town again. I'll take him to work in the fields tomorrow."
Qian opened her mouth, then sighed and closed it. Forget it. The family couldn't even get enough to eat. Talking about studying at this time would only make Zhou Jin worry.
but……
"It's better not to call him. The busy farming season is over now, and there's not much work to do in the fields. We can finish it if we get up early. Let him do his own thing."
Zhou Jin was very dissatisfied. "What business can a little kid like him have?"
But he didn't have much say at home. The next day, Zhou Yin talked to Qian about it, and after getting her approval, he went back to the county town.
For several days, Zhou Yin squatted quietly under the window of the school and listened to people reading.
The students and teachers in the school soon found out. Although he hid well, if someone kept hiding there, he would definitely be discovered.
The teacher asked his students to drive him away twice, but found that he came back again after a while, and he couldn't help getting angry.
So he personally stepped forward to drive them away.
If a normal child saw an adult coming out, they would definitely run away. But Zhou Yin was not an ordinary child. He was thick-skinned, so he didn't run away. He even imitated the students in the school and clumsily greeted the teacher. He promised him, "I will definitely not disturb you. I will just squat outside the window and listen."
The teacher's face was gloomy and he said unhappily, "Your presence here will affect my students."
Zhou Yin: "But I didn't say anything."
"But my students know you're outside the window, and that's drawing their attention," the teacher said. "Besides, this is a school. How can you be so presumptuous? If everyone comes and eavesdrops, how can I continue to run this school? Leave, or don't blame me for being rude!"
When Zhou Yin heard this, he felt a little regretful and could only leave with his head hung.
However, he still cared about the school. Later, whenever he came to the county town and heard people reading inside, he would stand far away and not go near the window.
If the students inside read loudly, he would be able to hear some of it.
As he came more often, he discovered that the school's garbage was thrown into a corner behind the house, with a lot of paper in it.
Zhou Yin looked around, walked forward quietly, and after flipping through the garbage, he found that there were really a lot of papers in the garbage pile, all of which were covered with words or were dirty.
Zhou Yin happily smoothed out the papers. Although he didn't recognize the words on them yet, he believed that one day he would recognize them all.
Zhou Yin turned out all the papers in the garbage pile, stacked them into a thick pile and left.
The next day, Zhou Yin and his friends went out and came back with a nest of bird eggs.
He didn't eat it, nor did he give it to his nephews and nieces. Instead, he took it to the county town.
He squatted outside the school, waiting for a child about his age to come out and wave to him.
Some time ago, when he was squatting in the window, he had a general impression of the students in the school. The little fat boy looked fierce, but he had a good heart, and most importantly, he was playful.
So Zhou Yin waved his hand and the little fat boy ran over.
He also recognized Zhou Yin. He raised his chin and asked, "I know you. You're the one who eavesdropped on the class. What do you want from me?"
Zhou Yin took out a bird's egg and handed it to him. "This is an egg I found while climbing a tree. I'll give you one. Can you read a few words to me?"
The little fat boy was stunned and reached out to take the bird egg. "Did you really touch it?"
"Of course it's true." Zhou Yin showed him a piece of paper. "How do you read the words on it?"
The little fat boy took a look and pointed at the words above and read: "Heaven, Earth, Man..."
The more he looked at it, the more familiar the words and paper seemed to him. He looked at Zhou Yin suspiciously, "Did you write this?"
"No, I picked them up." Zhou Yin ignored his gaze and took out two more bird eggs and gave them to him, saying, "As long as you teach me the words on them, I will give you all the bird eggs."
The little fat boy asked, "Can it turn into a bird?"
"Aren't bird eggs meant to be eaten?"
The little fat boy said: "How can you eat bird eggs? Of course they are for hatching baby birds."
Zhou Yin thought for a moment and said, "That should work. Put it in the chicken coop and let the hens hatch it."
In this way, Zhou Yin made a friend in the county town, and after that, he always brought him some fruits, wild vegetables, birds and eggs to exchange with him.
Due to this intermittent learning, he learned to recognize words very slowly, but after two years, he knew some commonly used characters, but he still couldn't write them well, and his handwriting was ugly.
But Zhou Yin did not force it. He just wanted to learn to read so that even if he went far away in the future, he would still know that his home was in Qili Village, Luojiang County.
Because he could read, he became the undisputed king of children in Qili Village, surpassing all the teenagers older than him.
Good night
