Hearing this, Liu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was his first time to take in a younger brother, and it wasn't as difficult as his cousin said. Then he noticed the branch in Niu Xiaosheng's hand and felt a little strange: "Why don't you use a toothbrush?"
Niu Xiaosheng turned his head and said expressionlessly: "Because I have the traditional characteristics of the people of Heishui County."
"What?"
Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that his family was considered a big family in Heishui County. How come he had never heard of the special qualities of the people of Heishui County? If he didn't understand, he asked, "What are the special qualities of the people of Heishui County?"
"poverty!"
Liu Sheng's pupils shrank, and then he realized that the other party was wearing patched linen clothes, not to show off his characteristics, but because he had always worn such clothes.
But we can't blame him for misunderstanding. First of all, the tuition fees of the martial arts academy are not low. The high price of fifty taels of snow a year almost eliminates the possibility of ordinary people enrolling.
In addition, he has a cousin who likes to wear all kinds of strange clothes to attract attention, such as beggar clothes, women's clothes, etc.
Because of this incident, he was often hung up and beaten by his uncle, but after the beating, he still went his own way, and even boasted that many people in the martial arts academy were like this. The young and ignorant Liu Sheng was misled in this way.
"It's really interesting talking to you. Well, I've prepared an extra set of dental equipment here, so I'll give it to you."
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Liu Sheng immediately changed the topic.
Niu Xiaosheng glanced at the brand-new washing utensils in the other party's copper basin, shook his head and said: "No need, no reward for no work."
"No reward for no merit?"
Liu Sheng's eyes lit up. This was a good saying. He would definitely use it in his future heroic deeds. He silently kept these words in mind, and even a picture appeared in front of his eyes.
Niu Xiaosheng poured out the water in the bucket, turned around and walked a few steps, stopped again, and said hello to Liu Sheng who was in a daze, "I'm going back first."
"Huh? Oh."
Liu Sheng responded lightly. His cousin had told him that he should treat his younger brothers with kindness and power, and not be too enthusiastic, as this would make them proud.
It wasn't until Niu Xiaosheng's back disappeared that Liu Sheng took out a nanmu box from the copper basin, which contained tooth powder ground into powder form using Poria cocos and rosin.
He picked up the jade-handled toothbrush and dipped it in a little bit of tooth powder. He looked at it and found that it seemed a little short. He dipped it in a few more times, and then started washing awkwardly.
In the past, at home, this was all the work of the maids. After entering the martial arts academy, the maids at home can no longer be brought in, so these things have to be done by oneself.
But this little thing can't trouble Liu Daxia.
After taking the washing supplies back to the wooden house, Niu Xiaosheng came to the lake again.
After the two loaches practicing at the bottom of the lake noticed his aura, they swam up quickly, only to find that the other party had no intention of paying attention to them, and instead walked into a forest not far away.
The forest is deep, with many wild flowers and fruit trees among them, and groups of hard-working bees are gathering nectar around the flowers.
Niu Xiaosheng didn't have time to look for the hive and the queen bee. He took a quick turn among the flowers and left.
During this process, any bees that touched his body would disappear strangely without even having time to react.
After walking out of the woods, Niu Xiaosheng walked towards the kitchen again. On the way, he happened to meet Wang Sheng, who was holding his waist and walking towards him. He felt that his face was a little haggard after not seeing him for a night.
"Huh? What a coincidence, I happened to come to you for something."
He walked over and said hello.
"Didn't I give you everything? Why did you come to me?"
Wang Sheng silently put down his hand on his waist and looked at Niu Xiaosheng expressionlessly.
"Your face seems to have been scratched? The bags under your eyes are heavy. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Niu Xiaosheng looked at the other person's face with caring eyes.
"none of your business!"
Wang Sheng's face turned dark and he turned around and left.
The little brat is really the most annoying thing. With his private money gone, his fun is gone too. When he thinks that he won’t be able to go to Xiao Cui to listen to music for a long time, he can only go back and face the tigress at home every day.
Even more irritated.
"Don't leave yet. I want to ask you something. Is there any shortage of women in your kitchen?"
"Wait a minute, I can buy it with money."
Hearing this, although Wang Sheng was very reluctant to pay attention to the little kid, his feet seemed to be out of control and stopped.
The tigress at home knows exactly how much oil and water there is in the kitchen. If she wants to make extra money, she has to find other ways.
Wang Sheng felt that he couldn't make trouble with money, so he turned around and asked: "What kind of chicken do you want?"
"Chickens that can lay eggs, let me explain first. If they don't lay eggs, I will ask you to refund the money."
"follow me!"
Wang Sheng led the way. The kitchen was responsible for feeding hundreds of mouths in the martial arts academy every day. The most indispensable thing was all kinds of poultry.
"The hens that lay eggs are all here. One here costs five cents, and one here costs ten cents. Which one do you want? Let me explain first, I won't sell less than five."
"Okay, then here are four hens worth five cents, and if you want a rooster, give me the cage as well."
Niu Xiaosheng counted twenty-five copper coins from the money bag.
Wang Sheng took the money, counted it again, and then stuffed four little hens and a big rooster into the chicken coop.
He smiled and said, "There are also ducks here. Do you want to buy a few? I'll make it cheaper for you."
"don't want."
"Then you go away quickly, it won't be good for others to see you."
Wang Sheng said with a straight face.
Niu Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, this guy is really realistic.
He didn't go back directly with the chicken coop, because there were too many people, but he took a detour halfway to the woods on the other side of the lake.
This is indeed a good place for Niu Xiaosheng, with deep woods and a good place to hide from others.
When he returned to the wooden house, the chicken coop in Niu Xiaosheng's hand was gone. He closed the door and entered the space directly.
Over in the vegetable garden, some bees were flying around the peach trees. It seemed that they had adapted to the new environment.
In view of the fact that there were five more chickens to feed, Niu Xiaosheng used a wooden bucket to water the wild vegetables and peach trees in the vegetable garden with a lot of spring water, and picked a lot of vegetable leaves and threw them into the chicken coop before leaving the space.
Breakfast is unlimited porridge, meat buns and eggs.
After breakfast, all the freshmen were led by a young teacher into a room filled with small tables.
After everyone was seated, the teacher solemnly introduced: "This is Master Dong. He is here to teach you how to read and write. You must not offend him."
After speaking, he bowed to Mrs. Dong and slowly withdrew.
After half the meal, Mrs. Dong, who seemed to be able to fall asleep even while sitting, slowly spoke, "Everyone, open the books on the table and read to me."
The writing in this world is completely different from that in the previous life. Niu Xiaosheng is very serious in class. This is not because he loves reading, but if he is illiterate, even if there is a unique secret book in front of him, he will regret it if he can't understand it.
It's too late.
However, not everyone thinks like Niu Xiaosheng. They are all half-grown children. It is okay to sit down or lie down to sleep, at least it will not affect others.
Some naughty kids got bored and went to play with the girl's hair, which made the little girl irritated and irritated. Some people couldn't stand it and became flower protectors, including Liu Sheng, who was determined to be a hero.
The two sides started arguing and started fighting.
Master Dong ignored them, shaking his head and reading a book. Finally, the teacher heard the noise and rushed over, pulled the naughty children away, and then went out to walk.
