Chapter 20 I herd cattle in Daming

As the saying goes, happiness begets sorrow, and I think that's true.

At dinnertime, there was an unpleasant matter, and in the middle of dinner, the eldest aunt said a piece of news.

"Dad, mother, that's right. Jun'er and his grandmother saw that Jun'er was smart, and in general, they helped to repair the bunch, and they didn't want to delay Jun'er, so they wanted Jun'er to go to school. ”

When Zhu Ping'an heard the news, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and rarely heard that there was a mother's family who would be willing to help the married girl raise a child. The ancients said that the girl who married out spilled the water, is the aunt's maiden family so enlightened, Brother Jun's grandmother is willing, and his uncle and aunt are also willing?

In ancient times, when students and teachers first met, they would first give gifts to show their respect, which was called "Shu Xiu". It has been practiced as early as the time of Confucius, when it was salted pork, and now it is all money.

In the countryside, it is much cheaper than in the town, but it is also about the same as a year, that is, 1,000 wen, which is paid in two installments, and there are also vegetables, eggs, meat and other festivals, so it can be said that the cost is quite a lot.

However, it is said that the eldest aunt's family is not bad, and it may not be.

I heard that the Yue family was willing to pay for Jun'er to go to school, and the grandparents were very happy, they all valued the eldest family, and the boss could study, so Jun'er would definitely study well.

The grandparents were all willing, and it was the eldest aunt and mother-in-law's family who paid for it, so the mother Chen and the fourth and third aunts naturally didn't say anything.

"Jun'er goes to Mengxue, and Bi'er is not too young, so she can take Jun'er's class and go to herd cattle." Seeing that no one objected to her family, the eldest aunt's face was full of pride, and then she turned to Zhu Ping'an, "It's almost autumn, raise the cattle stronger, and do farm work." ”

You said I was small the day before yesterday!

Anyway, let me take Brother Jun's class to herd cattle? When did Brother Jun let go of the cow, he didn't touch the hair.

The reason why the eldest aunt arranged for Zhu Pingjun to go to herd cattle was because she remembered that the family once said that Bi'er was smart and sensible, and she felt more and more that she had to cut off the idea of reading as soon as possible. On the one hand, he is afraid that the family will spend money, so it is better to let Yu'er honestly farm and support himself like the second brother, and on the other hand, he is also afraid that Zhu Ping'an will steal the limelight of his son, although his son has told his fortune and is Wenquxing.

"Sister-in-law, my family is still young, the cow is so big, how did he let it go." Mother Chen frowned and objected, and there were still some words in her heart that were not spoken, your Jun'er went to school, why did my family go to herd cattle, besides, when did your Jun'er let go of cattle.

The third aunt likes Zhu Ping'an, and also helps to speak, "That's it, Yu'er is not as tall as a cowleg." ”

"Our cattle are honestly tight, and they know the way themselves, and herding the cattle is to prevent it from eating other people's crops." The eldest aunt kept saying, "Yu'er has followed the second brother up the mountain, and it's okay to herd a cow." ”

Mother Chen was not worried about Zhu Ping'an going to herd cattle, but the eldest aunt insisted, and the dinner table was not peaceful.

"A loving mother has many defeated children, and it is good for Bi'er to go to exercise, if you really can't let go, it's not too late to let go."

The grandmother protected the eldest aunt, and the words were all about agreeing.

Mother Chen was angry at the dinner table, and she didn't eat much, so she reached under the table and pinched Zhu's father I don't know how many.

Anyway, Zhu's father bared his teeth and cracked his mouth many times at the dinner table.

"Mother, you eat more, it's good to herd cattle, I like our cattle." Zhu Ping'an stretched out his chopsticks to help Chen's pick up vegetables, and the soft children's voice comforted Chen.

The son's sensibility made Chen's heart feel a lot better, but when he thought that the children of his sister-in-law's family went to school, and his children had to go to herd cattle at such a young age, he was still not very happy.

"Biao'er is going to herd cattle, and in the future, she will give Biao'er half a cake for each meal." Grandfather spoke.

Grandfather generally does not interfere in the affairs of the back house of the family, as long as things are not very out of line, he will turn a blind eye. Although he attaches great importance to the eldest family, he also likes Zhu Ping'an's chubby grandson.

When night fell, the bright moon hid among the soft and silky clouds, looking shyly at the quiet world, and sprinkled the pure brilliance. This gesture is like a graceful beautiful girl looking at the earth with a smile.

The moonlight is quiet and gentle, but not in the east wing.

"Why should his son go to school, when my son should herd the cows? You do your best, Dachuan has already helped this with so much effort, and Yu'er has to go to herd cattle. Does our family owe it to the old family? ”

"You dead man, don't say a word!"

"How can I marry a man like you, I don't even dare to let out a fart!"

For Zhu's father, it is not easy to leave more private money for the family, and it is estimated that it is too difficult for him to oppose his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. It's okay for the boy to beat and beat more, he also thinks so in his heart, besides, his mother also said that if he can't let it go, he won't let it go, so he didn't speak at the dinner table.

But Chan doesn't care about that.

Poor old man, there is a moment of silence for you.

Zhu Ping'an is very unrighteous and flashing, his daughter-in-law, coax herself, ask for more blessings, father.

The shepherd boy rode the ox, and the song vibrated the forest.

This poem is simply a portrayal of Zhu Ping'an's current situation, riding on the back of an old ox, dangling Erlang's legs, pinning a bamboo tube kettle to his waist, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and a twine hanging from the fishing rod, and a handful of green and tender grass tied on the twine. The tender grass just hung in front of the cow's head, and the old ox sprinkled the cow's hooves under the guidance of the tender grass, all the way to the hooves.

On the back of the scalper is a simple saddle made of bamboo by Zhu's father last night, so Zhu Ping'an's small body can also be made stable, and the bamboo is lightweight, and it does not affect the activities of the old scalper.

Zhu Ping'an sat on the back of the cow, his thoughts drifting with the cow's hooves.

In other words, the poem of the shepherd boy riding a scalper was written by Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty, and all the poems and verses of the Qing Dynasty can be used by themselves.

The champion of the Qing Dynasty, Baguwen, also memorized a lot during his graduate studies, although he couldn't memorize it backwards, but he also remembered a lot of the general idea. The eight strands of the Qing Dynasty were much more standardized than the eight strands of the Ming Dynasty.

Poetry can be used, or modified, but the eight-strand text may not be directly used, each eight-strand essay is a propositional composition, although the title is the original text of the Four Books and Five Classics, but there are so many Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't know what the title is. If you're lucky, if the topic overlaps with the ones you remember, you'll be stable, but if the topic is different, you'll be blind.

In modern times, I studied ancient Chinese, but if I asked myself to write an eight-strand essay, it would never be able to write, and the modern ones were all criticisms of the eight-strand essay, and the school had never taught how to write, and I couldn't use my own brush.

All in all, it is still necessary to go to school.

Well, it seems that the private school in Shanghe Village is on that low hillside not far from Xiahe Village.

The hillside is rich in water and grass, so why not go there to graze the cattle
