Chapter 20: Literacy
In about ten minutes, the old village chief came out of the house, stood still behind a table, carried a gong in his hand, knocked a few times, and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet, don't talk, let's have a meeting!"
Lin Qing was held in the arms of the old lady and sat in the back, afraid that there would be more people crowding Lin Qing, so he didn't dare to go forward.
I only heard the old village chief say loudly in front of me: "The task has been issued from above, and the rural areas have begun to carry out the matter of 'cleaning up accounts, cleaning up warehouses, cleaning up property, and cleaning up work'......
Lin Qing lowered his head, nestled in the old lady's arms, and the corners of his mouth pulled coldly, in the past few years from 63 to 66 in his previous life, the above carried out the work of "cleaning up accounts, cleaning up warehouses, cleaning up property, and cleaning up work divisions" for the rural areas, as well as "opposing corruption and theft, opposing speculation, opposing extravagance and waste, opposing decentralization, and opposing bureaucracy" for the cities.
At that time, the rural areas were called the "Four Cleanups," the cities were called the "Five Antis," and the external world was collectively referred to as the "Socialist Education Movement." Orders were issued layer by layer, and when they reached the bottom, they didn't know what was going on, and things suddenly turned sour.
From the collective "Four Cleans" to the individual "Four Cleans", who has a good thing that is eye-catching, who has more work, who receives good things, whose accounts are not clear, etc., chasing the wind and shadows, a mess, in the later stage, there are not a few people who secretly smash and rob in the name of spot checks, and even slap and kneel to make a fool of their lives, all of which are just the prelude to the darkness of the decade in the near future.
What about others, Lin Qing can't care about it, and he doesn't want to care about it, at this time in the previous life, the old lady and her uncle spent it safely, and there were no problems, and she was reborn and returned in this life, so I was afraid that there would be some variables.
The old village chief is in front of the gushing mobilization, seven days the production team to carry out the "four clean" movement, seven days later, the town will send a working group down to inspect, hoping that when the work is carried out, everyone can cooperate well, do not appear any discordant situation, etc.
After listening to a rough idea, when he got to the back, the old village chief was talking about some propaganda slogans of patriotism and respect for the party, Lin Qing began to be drowsy, squinting, confused in the arms of the old lady, and forced himself not to fall asleep.
The meeting was estimated to have lasted for about an hour, and after the old village chief finished speaking, after a burst of uneven applause was sparsely heard, everyone began to disperse home in self-discipline.
At this time, the concept of the collective is very heavy, as long as it is a task issued from above, there is no gossip on the surface, what is required to do it, the concept of obedience is very strong, and the meeting has become a simple thing, there is no opinion (in fact, there are opinions and dare not mention), basically after the issuance, everyone applauds and then can go home.
Lin Qing was carried back by the old lady, the old lady saw that she was very sleepy, and wanted to coax her to sleep for a while, but who expected that the descendants of the family would be energetic again, get down from the old lady's arms, and pester her uncle to learn to read and write.
The old lady let it go, let her pester the old man, and went back to the house to make the clothes that were not finished yesterday.
Uncle Tai patted Lin Qing's head, "Teach you, but let's say yes, persevere, you can't fish for three days and dry nets for two days." "Lin Qing is very clear about how pampered his uncle is, and he also has a share of credit in spoiling him like this, set the rules first, otherwise if the good grandson doesn't learn for a few days, he will be coquettish to him, and he should rely on her again.
Lin Qing raised his hand to guarantee, and pulled the old lady, "Perseverance! ”
The old lady grinned in the house, "Cheng! Milk will testify to you, if you don't learn half of it, Milk will use this to stink you in the future." ”
Lin Qing pursed her lips, according to her pampered temperament in her previous life, if she was really a three-year-old child, she would definitely not be able to persevere, but now she has the heart of a dozens of years old inside, and she will not give up halfway.
When my uncle heard the assurance, he went home to prepare his things satisfied. The old lady smiled even more happily when she saw this, "Silly girl! ”
"Why milk?" Lin Qing wondered, why is it hard to read and write? But the old lady's gloating appearance doesn't seem to be fake.
The Lin family is a scholarly family, several generations are reading, your uncle is three years old literacy, went to private school, please be a gentleman of the Eight Classics, four books and five classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are taught, a day can memorize and write hundreds of times, your uncle must teach you according to the rules of the old era, you just wait to endorse every day. ”
Lin Qing was stunned, "I just learned to read, why do I still endorse it?"
It didn't take much effort, Uncle Tai went and returned, holding a small wooden box in his hand, Lin Qing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old man, begging: "Uncle Tai, I just recognize a word, can we not endorse it?"
The old lady laughed out loud, and the uncle knew that it must have been the old lady who told the child about going to private school when he was a child, but the endorsement is a must, "The so-called 'book read a hundred times and see its own meaning' This is handed down by the ancestors, since you have learned, you must learn it well." ”
"A hundred times is too much, can it be done once?" Lin Qing blinked his eyes wide, and he was cute and discussed.
Uncle Tai rubbed her little head melon seeds funny, "Cheng! If you can memorize it well, then memorize it." "I really have to memorize it a hundred times, my uncle is reluctant to let his children suffer from this, anyway, it's a girl, she can go to college in the future, it's okay if she can't go to school, and you can't let your child suffer no matter what.
Lin Qing relaxed, and looked at the small wooden box that Uncle Tai had opened and brought, there were no books in it, only two yellowed books, a few pencils, an inkstone, an ink ingot, and a few brushes of different sizes.
Uncle Tai didn't have the kind of books in the school, and neither did the old lady, but there were wired ancient books in Uncle Tai's house, but those couldn't see the light, so Uncle Tai had to write one by one, and then dismantle it word by word to teach Lin Qing to write stroke by stroke.
Sure enough, as the old lady said, Uncle Tai really taught according to the teachings of the old era, and he still taught "thousand-character text".
Uncle Tai taught Lin Qing two fonts, traditional and simplified, using a brush to write traditional and pencil to write simplified, although it is difficult, but the requirements are not high, just remember one word in three days!
Lin Qing studied very hard, although she lived for decades in her previous life, she never entered school for a day, when she was six years old, the old lady taught her to read at home, she was not in good health, she was going to send her to school after the age of eight, but then the old lady was gone, and the school was not completed.
After escaping from Zhang's family, she also learned a lot from people when she was working as a temporary worker, at least reading a newspaper or anything, and later met that old Taoist and taught her a lot.
