From this time onwards, Wang Mian looked after Old Qin's buffalo;
and every evening
宿 he went home to sleep.
便Whenever the Qin family gave him salted fish or meat, he would wrap it up in a lotus leaf and take it to his mother.
He also saved the coppers he was given each day to buy a snack with,
and every month or so
便would seize an opportunity
to go to the village school
to buy some old books from the book-vendor making his rounds.
Every day, when he had tethered the buffalo,
he would sit down beneath the willows and read.
