Chapter 10 The Beginning of Literacy
When she got home, Sun Siyuan first took out the green millet seeds and raised them, lifted all the grass clippings and mud in them, and then sifted out the seeds that were too small. The remaining seeds were still deflated, Sun Siyuan looked at Zhao Youqian, her eyes lit up, and finally, Zhao Youqian honestly squatted on the ground to pick up the seeds. Those small and deflated ones, Sun Siyuan threw them directly into the haystack, and they couldn't grow good things when they were planted, so let's keep them for fire.
After picking up, there were still about thirty-five catties of seeds left, and Sun Siyuan had bought more than that, so she wasn't worried that it wasn't enough. In fact, these seeds are not very good, but Sun Siyuan is not too worried, after all, there is still room for no matter how bad it is.
In the next few days, Sun Siyuan got up early every morning to cook, and then went to the field with Zhao Youqian, and the two of them waved a hoe and threw seeds, which was very tacit. Zhao Youqian has never planted the land, I don't think there is anything, others have seen it, but it is very novel, the hoe is available in every family, but it is occasionally used to hoe grass at home, or to loosen the ground before sowing seeds, but what is this little couple doing?
Sun Siyuan said that it was planting green millet, and everyone thought they understood, they had never planted green millet, and they thought that others planted it like this. "If you have money, do you want to grow green millet on these acres of land?" Some people disagree, I heard that green millet is used to feed livestock, and there is no horse farm in their village, so there is no money to grow in this way!
"Uncle, don't worry, the green millet grown by our family can be harvested deliciously!" Zhao Youqian didn't speak, and Sun Siyuan replied with a smile. The person who asked the question listened to Sun Siyuan's words and did not refute it again, this rich lady is an idea, maybe there will be any surprises, many people in the village are now fishing for fish from the river to eat, and there are also items in the mountains from time to time, and everyone praises the rich lady.
In order to let the green millet sprout as soon as possible, Sun Siyuan and Zhao Youqian also picked up water from the ground and splashed the ground. The ditch at the head of the land was dug together in the village, and it was connected to the river in the village, so that everyone could water the ground when they were free, and the hard-working people could always collect a few catties of extra grain.
Sun Siyuan often carried Zhao Youqian behind her back and put a little spiritual spring water into the canal, but fortunately there were no fish in the canal, otherwise I was afraid that there would be a vision. There were also a few watering houses nearby, but no one noticed anything unusual.
There are four rabbits in the family, one male and three female, all of which are big fat rabbits, a ball of snow white. Sun Siyuan has been raised for a long time, and she is not willing to kill in the end.
Simply bought a male and a female two rabbits, put the original three female rabbits and the newly bought male rabbits together, and opened another room to put the original male rabbits and the newly bought female rabbits together. After all, she had studied biology, and she didn't want a litter of rabbits to mate with each other.
Both new rabbits are gray and skinny, which is very unlikable to white rabbits. The gray female rabbit is okay, and when she is alone with the white male rabbit, she will not be bullied too hard. The gray male rabbit was pitiful, and was bullied by the three white female rabbits together, and could only eat the rest of the white rabbit's rations.
When Sun Siyuan found out, her heart was budding, and the three white balls were facing the gray rabbits with their buttocks, and the gray rabbits watched them eat vegetables pitifully, but they didn't dare to step forward.
Sun Siyuan put a small back basket in the house, and put vegetables in it, the three white rabbits were too fat to climb into it at all, and the gray rabbits struggled to survive.
The vegetables in Sun Siyuan's courtyard are growing very well, and they are given to the people in the village, which is very popular, and everyone praises her for being able to serve, and this dish is better than that of other fields. Zhao Youqian and the men in the village are also gradually familiar with each other, sometimes they go up the mountain with the men, always contribute the most and take the least, the men are simple-minded, and they are all bought invisibly.
From the beginning of the seedlings, green millet is a scenery in the village, and everyone has never seen crops straight in columns like a chessboard. Everyone is very concerned about their growth, and the green millet also lives up to expectations, it grows very vigorously, and even the crops around the green millet field are growing better than usual, and everyone attributes this to Sun Siyuan's blessed family, which prospers the surrounding land.
The rice behind the house, Zhao Youqian often goes to water, Sun Siyuan is very happy to see it, Zhao Youqian himself is not a lazy person, and he hopes that he will be rewarded, so he always adds some material to the water.
Waiting for the village to harvest rice together, Zhao Youqian's rice is fuller than anyone in the village, it is only May at this time, and there is no need to pay taxes, everyone happily collects the grain, and also helps Zhao Youqian to collect the rice. Anyone who saw the rice of Zhao Youqian's family praised Zhao Youqian for being a hard-working man.
In the end, the yield of rice per mu of Zhao Youqian's family was more than 100 catties more than that of other families, and those village women praised Zhao Youqian in front of Sun Siyuan, and Sun Siyuan accepted it with a smile. Now, everyone pays more attention to those green millet, Sun Siyuan said, this green millet is good when it grows, and cutting the green to feed livestock is only an inferior practice.
When harvesting rice, everyone really weighed Zhao Youqian again, Zhao Youqian had broken the 300 mark, and there were only more than 290 catties left, Sun Siyuan looked at Zhao Youqian encouragingly, "Rich, keep working hard!" ”
Zhao Youqian's face is still very big, but it is not as dark as it was at the beginning, there is a trend of developing towards wheat color, Sun Siyuan estimates that it is those vegetable raisers at home, and he doesn't see that he is not like when he first wore it, his hands are the same as chicken feet, and now that he has meat, he looks a lot better.
Everything went well, Sun Siyuan thought that it was better to teach Zhao Youqian to read and write, after all, he had poetry and books in his belly, but the reality gave Sun Siyuan a knife, and Sun Siyuan bought the books of this world only to find that she didn't know the words here.
The characters in this world are different from all the characters on the earth - she found books in various languages in space to compare - and by the way, she found that most of the books in space were useless, because she only knew Chinese characters and English.
Seeing that the ignorant Zhao Youqian was bored and teasing the rabbit, Sun Siyuan gritted her teeth and decided to teach him to learn Chinese characters, even if she might be suspected, she recognized it.
She still thinks about what God said, those books in space are her confidence to promote the development of science and technology, and she can't let her learn the words of this world, and then translate them one by one. Besides, those cutting-edge technologies, even if she wanted to, she couldn't do anything, right? At the very least, the people here speak Chinese, which is God's help to her.
How to take out the book, how to explain that she knows those words, Sun Siyuan thought about it for a long time, and after thinking about it, Sun Siyuan decided that she was in charge of her father-in-law, and there was no explanation, so be it!
There are still a few books in the house that were put when he first came, which were placed under the bed, and he could reach out to get them, and Sun Siyuan asked Zhao Youqian to take them out, so he taught him to read.
Zhao Youqian didn't know that his wife was just a child daughter-in-law who had been a slave in the Sun family since she was a child, so she didn't question Sun Siyuan's literacy, as for the difference between the words in the book and the ones he had seen when he was a child, Zhao Youqian only thought that he remembered it wrong.
There is no such book as the Three Character Classic in this world, Sun Siyuan took the Three Character Scripture and taught more than ten sentences, and finally felt that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking, and he had received more than ten years of modern education in the Celestial Empire, so why should he embarrass himself with the ancient texts that he is not familiar with at all?
So, in the following days, people in the village often saw Zhao Youqian's house closing the door in broad daylight, and the two of them chattered "ah", "oh", and "eh" inside, and many people wanted to be crooked.
