Meng Qing looked at three little girls who were only as high as her chest, walking hand in hand in the yard, reviewing the words they had learned before, and using their brains to ask and answer questions. Their consciousness was far beyond
Modern children.
Looking at them, Meng Qing was not proud.
I went through them all once, and if I found any gaps, I would take the initiative to memorize them a few more times. Then I took the small bald brush and began to carefully draw red on the big bluestone.
Have a correct and serious attitude.
People who were still walking in the yard subconsciously slowed down their steps when passing by them, so as not to disturb the three studious and focused little girls.
Meng Qing and the others lowered their voices.
Because Zhang Weijun was quite busy with training tasks, he often didn't come back at noon. Even if he had a rest, he would rest in the shop.
Tieniu and the others have always stayed in the shop.
It can also be regarded as their dormitory.
Considering that they were originally beggars and it was not easy for them to live in a house, the yard behind the shop was changed into a Datong shop model and used as a dormitory.
However, we have agreed with them that after three months of becoming a regular employee and having saved up enough money, we will move out and the dormitory will be reserved for the newcomers.
Ji Xi sat next to Meng Qing, drinking the scented tea specially prepared for them by Meng Qing. Looking at the hardworking little sisters in the courtyard, he suddenly felt a little emotional. If they hadn't met Meng Qing, they might still be begging on the street.
How can we live in such a good house like now, and eat and use food with care?
Looking at Meng Qing who lowered her head to drink tea, Ji Xi's gratitude and admiration for Meng Qing grew stronger.
If Meng Qing concentrated on checking Ji Xi at this time, he would find that Ji Xi's loyalty data has skyrocketed.
It almost broke 100, but finally stopped at 98.
It can be said that whatever Meng Qing asked Ji Xi to do, she would do it regardless of the cost.
However, Meng Qing has not used this ability of hers for a long time, and even if she knew it, she would not let Ji Xi do anything dangerous.
"What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it that even if you call you, you won't even move." Meng Qing called out to Ji Xi. Seeing that she didn't move, he looked at her strangely and found that she was rarely in a daze.
Ji Xi hurriedly came to his senses and smiled at Meng Qing, "I didn't think about anything. I just think that life like this is really good. I hope it will stay like this in the future."
Meng Qingqi fell silent. I don’t know how many people have such a simple wish in their hearts.
It's a pity how many people can do it.
So when I heard Ji Xi's words, I could only say calmly: "I will."
It contains so much of Meng Qing's blessings to Ji Xi and others that it is not enough to explain to outsiders.
After the lunch break, Meng Qing specially called Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun, and Shitou over and showed them the drawings of the scooter he had drawn previously.
Looking at the unknown thing on the paper, Xiaoyun and the other three looked at me and me, and they all fell silent.
"What's wrong? You're not talking." Since the three of them were silent, only Meng Qing started.
"Sister Meng, what is this?" Although Xiaofeng and the others recognized a few words along with Meng Qing, it was too difficult for them to understand what was on the drawing.
Shitou was the most honest person. When he saw Meng Qing talking, he answered honestly: "I can't understand this thing." After saying that, he lowered his head in disappointment.
Xiaofeng Xiaoyun pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Seeing this, Meng Qing was secretly upset that he didn't speak clearly.
"It's not your problem, it's my problem. I didn't explain things clearly to you."
After all three people gathered their attention, Meng Qing continued: "This is something I just came up with. You are still young. You run around on the streets every day and carry such heavy things. I'm worried about your health.
I couldn't help but wonder if there was any means of transportation suitable for traveling in the city.
The ox carts and donkey carts are a bit bigger, and you are driving down the streets and alleys, and you are in the county town, so it is inevitable that they will collide, so I thought of making them smaller to avoid falling, so I made additional handles with four handles underneath.
A wheel will always take less effort than running on your own.
What do you think when you look at it?"
Meng Qing said so many words in one breath, which really embarrassed her. She quickly picked up the water beside her to drink. Thanks to her anticipation, she knew that she would have to say a lot. To quench her thirst, she had to use boiled water.
Among the three of them, Shitou looked at the drawings most seriously, but in terms of reaction and imagination, Xiaofeng was still the best. Before the other two could come up with something, Xiaofeng was already excited.
He hurriedly said: "If the four small wheels at the bottom are polished to be more rounded and wrapped in thick leather, it will be more wear-resistant and faster."
This sudden suggestion made Meng Qing's eyes light up. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of it, but she was surprised that Xiaofeng would have such an idea.
"This is a good idea, Xiaofeng, why do you have such an idea?" What made Meng Qing even more curious was the reason why Xiaofeng had such an idea.
Being praised by Meng Qing, Xiaofeng blushed a little and chuckled twice, "I was just imagining it. I saw the wheels on both sides of the nobles' carriages on the road seemed to be different, and they were also very easy to break, so I thought randomly,
If you can put a layer of something on the outside of the wheel, maybe the wheel will not be broken so easily."
So it turned out that although Meng Qing had always been very confident in them, he was still proud of Xiaofeng's sensitivity at this time.
"Does Sister Meng plan to equip everyone in Xiaotong's takeout with this car?" Xiaoyun focused more on this than on Xiaofeng's creativity.
Meng Qing did not deny it, "I do have this idea, but it still depends on whether the carpenter can make it."
Mentioning the carpenter, Xiaoyun bit her lower lip and asked, "Sister Meng said before that she would send us to be apprentices. I wonder if we still count?"
Hearing this, Meng Qing straightened his back subconsciously. This was also the main reason why he came to them, but he never found a way to talk. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyun took the initiative to bring it up.
"Of course it's a matter of course. If you really like it, Sister Meng will naturally follow your wishes. The only thing is that you can't delay studying. You can learn to be a carpenter, but you must also study." Meng Qing said this firmly.
.
She deeply understands that learning a craft may provide a person with the ability to survive, but reading is the path to understanding. Since this condition exists, why not have both.
Although Xiaoyun is only eleven years old, he has a sharp mind. Among the three, he is the only one who realizes Meng Qing's idea of sending the three of them to learn carpentry. He thinks that he was excited to go to school before, but now he wants to be a carpenter.
Apprentices, the gap is huge and they feel so lost that they are not worthy of understanding from outsiders.
But if he must go, Xiaoyun is also willing to go, because he deeply knows that everything he has now is brought by the people in front of him. No matter what the result is, he only feels grateful and grateful.
