Chapter 37 Change Begins in Houfu

"Grandma... Qianqian has seen grandma..."

After speaking, Qianqian knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady.

The old lady calmly accepted Li Qianqian's bowing, thus expressing her approval of this titular granddaughter.

"Okay, get up, girl, in the future, you will treat this place as your own home, whoever dares to bully you, grandma will clean him up..."

"Thank you, grandma, Qianqian went to plant potatoes with her brother and sister..."Qianqian said with a happy smile, this was the first time she smiled in these days.

"Here, let's see how my brother grows potatoes. First of all, look at the soil in this bucket, the new soil that my brother just dug from the ground yesterday, the soil is relatively soft. ”

"Now, put the potato chips with the sprouts in the middle of the bucket, making sure that the side with the sprouts is facing up."

"Then, dig a small pit in the middle of the bucket and bury the potatoes in the soil, taking care to expose the potato sprouts."

"Now let's get a little bit of soil around the potato sprouts."

"Okay, such a potato is considered to have been preliminarily planted."

"In the later stage, you also need daily management, such as watering, fertilizing, catching insects, etc...."

"Whether we can eat delicious potatoes in Houfu this autumn depends on you little girls who usually take good care of them."

"Brother, the eldest girl will definitely take good care of them, and from tomorrow onwards, the eldest girl's chicken legs will be eaten for them..."The eldest girl said seriously.

The eldest girl's words made grandma and Tao Ran almost laugh, and even Qianqian laughed like a flowery smile.

"Big girl, you should keep your chicken legs and eat them yourself, giving potatoes to eat will harm them, they need to eat fertilizer, not the chicken legs in your mouth!" Tao Ran said to the eldest girl with a smile.

"Oh, the big girl knows..."Seeing that everyone was laughing, the big girl said with a red face.

Within an hour, Tao Ran led the four little girls and Qianqian to plant potatoes in all the twelve buckets.

Tao Ran arranged the twelve barrels evenly in four columns, each with three barrels.

Looking at the neat twelve buckets of potatoes, Tao Ran felt infinite emotion in his heart!

Datang is now in an era of extreme food shortage, the grain left by the former Sui has been exhausted, and several major grain-producing provinces have been suffering from famine for many years.

"Big girl, you and your sisters, each take care of three barrels, brother to see who takes care of it well in the end, who has a high yield, okay?"

"Okay, let's each have three buckets, the first row of the eldest girl, the second row of the second girl, the third row of the third girl, and the last row for the fourth girl..."

"It's assigned according to the eldest girl, do the sisters still have any opinions?" Tao Ran asked.

The four little girls all shook their heads!

"Then unanimously pass, and start your great path of growing potatoes today..."

Grandma smiled and watched the children make a lot of noise, never feeling that she was full of strength!

"Grandma, my grandson still has a request and an idea, please fulfill it."

"How many times has grandma said that you have the final say in this family, what request is not requested?" The old lady said righteously.

"How's that going to work? Outsiders will say that our Houfu tutor is not strict..."Tao Ran retorted.

"Okay, you just have to say something, don't go around in circles with grandma..."

"Grandma, the child wants to take a few girls to read and teach them to read and write, and if they are willing to learn, the child is willing to pass on all the talents that the master has given me......"

"Girl's house......" Grandma looked unspeakable.

Tao Ran knew what grandma wanted to say, girls' homes? After all, he is someone else's family. As the saying goes, women don't stay! That's it!

"Grandma, no matter when, they are still members of our Tao family after all, the children just want them to be able to rely on their own skills to stand in the world in the future, even if they don't seek to be rich and rich, they have a foothold wherever they go, and they can marry their mother-in-law's family in the future, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Grandson, a woman's lack of talent is virtue..."Grandma sighed and said, she didn't understand what Tao Ran said, but the world's eyes have been pressed on women for many years, and they can't be changed so easily!

"Grandma, the children's master once taught me that in their world, men and women are equal and free, they go to school together, work together, and even contribute ideas together to participate in the construction of the country......"

Tao Ran's words made Qianqian and the four little girls stunned, isn't that kind of life the life they yearn for!

Qianqian remembered why she started to dress as a man and a woman since she was a child, because her brother went to study in a private school that year, and Qianqian cried and went to study.

However, Mr. Ren doesn't accept girls! In desperation, her father was distressed and cried into tears, so he changed her into men's clothes before he was willing to take her in.

To tell the truth, the women who could read and hyphenate in that era were either the ladies of the royal and noble families, or the concubines and princesses in the court. Ordinary women don't dare to have that thought!

"Kid, that's what your master said?" Grandma asked solemnly.

"Grandson, don't dare to deceive grandma, that's exactly what you said!" Tao Ran said seriously.

"That's it, that's it, since the immortal masters have taught you like this, no matter how much Grandma says, it's useless. Kid, it's good for you to call the shots..."

"Thank you, grandma, thank you grandma for your four younger sisters..."Tao Ran said happily.

"It's all fate, these four little girls have finally come to the end of their hardships, and having a brother like you is their great creation." Grandma said as she walked into the room!

"Okay, grandma agreed, today my brother will start teaching a few of you, now go back to the room and prepare a small bench by yourself, and then come over to gather." Tao Ran said with a smile.

"Okay, my brother is the best..."The eldest girl ran away as soon as she was the first to say, and the three younger sisters were not to be outdone.

"Qianqian, you can also study together..."Tao Ran said to Qianqian, who was in a daze.

"I ......" Qianqian pointed at herself in disbelief! Is it me...? ”

"Of course it's you, is there a third person here besides the two of us now?" Tao Ran said with a smile.

"Okay, Eun-gong, no... Thank you, teacher, I'll go get the bench! ”

Soon, five little girls who were desperate to learn cultural knowledge sat in front of Tao Ran, waiting for the teacher's lesson.

In order to let them master the essentials of learning as soon as possible, and then stimulate their enthusiasm for learning, Tao Ran decided to start from the basics!

"Today, I will have a Chinese class first, and the Chinese class taught by my brother is very different from what I teach in the private school now."

"The biggest difference is that what the private school talks about is Confucianism, and my brother first teaches you to read..."

"Our Chinese characters have been in the cultural changes for many years, and they are gradually changing, in order to make it easier and more direct for you to understand, what my brother handed you is the simplified Chinese characters that my master taught me..."
