Chapter 11: Hatred
Doing farm work is hard, but the people of Qingshan Village are not tired, their faces are full of joy of harvest, harvesting so much grain, it is not a problem to eat enough food every day for a whole year, and there is excess food that can be exchanged for some items in other villages.
Of course, Qingshanzhai will also reserve more food, there are unforeseen circumstances, no one can be sure whether next year will be a disaster year, the grain harvest will be reduced in the disaster year, if there is no food in the previous reserves, starvation will also happen in Qingshanzhai.
In this era, most families only eat two meals a day, morning and evening, and the people of Qingshanzhai are busy in the farmland from morning to night, and when they are tired, they sit down to rest for a while, and continue to work after recovering their strength.
Fang Nan's students helped the adults to be busy in the farmland from morning to night, and there was still more than half an hour before dark, Fang Nan issued a convening order, asking Hu Zhuang and Zhou Shi to notify the other students and go back to class together.
Soon, only adults were left in the farmland, and Fang Nan returned to the village with the students.
On the largest open space in Qingshan Village, Fang Nan and his students gathered here for physical education class.
"I have to teach you three classes a day, namely Chinese, math, and physical education, the Chinese class teaches you to read and write, the math class teaches you arithmetic, and the physical education class teaches you to exercise."
"Teacher, what is 'exercise'?" Some students asked out loud, while others were wondering what "exercise" was.
"Exercise, simply put, is how to run faster and farther, how to have more strength, once the bandits invade our village, we can take up arms to defend our homeland." Fang Nan explained.
The elders could not bear the oppression and exploitation of the landlords and the government and fled into the mountains, living in the mountains, no more landlords and officials can oppress and exploit them, and the younger generation no longer has much feeling for the vicious landlords and the government, and now they hate the bandits even more.
After the establishment of Qingshan Village, it was attacked by several bandits, but fortunately the bandits were repelled every time, which is also due to the fact that the invading bandits are not strong.
In fact, most of those bandits are the same as the people in Qingshanzhai, they are poor people who can't stand the oppression of landlords and the government, but they choose a different path from the people in Qingshanzhai and rely on plundering others to make a living.
Among them, there are also a small number of bandits who have committed serious crimes, or are dissatisfied with their own lives, and they can live comfortably for a long time as long as they rob a large family.
There are luck and misfortune, Fang Nan's father was seriously injured and died in resisting the invasion of bandits, and many elders of the students were killed and injured because of the invasion of bandits, and hatred was born from this.
It can be said that the people living in the mountains hate and hate the most those bandits who rely on looting for a living, but they have a weaker and weaker feeling for the landlords and officials outside the mountains.
Now that Fang Nan is using "bandit invasion" to explain "exercise", the students' identification with physical education class has greatly increased.
"Okay, now we're going to class, let's stand in a row from short to tall according to their height, men and women in a row, Zhou Shi comes out, you are the squad leader, no need to line up."
Under Fang Nan's words, the students began to line up, and soon two horizontal lines were formed, and then two horizontal columns became four horizontal columns.
"Zhou Shi, this is the formation that everyone has to stand in physical education class, tomorrow in physical education class, you will lead the students to stand in line, and then report to the teacher after standing in line."
"Understood, teacher."
On the first day of physical education class, the content of "queuing", the next time, the team disbanded, queued, disbanded, and queued again, the first two times were presided over by Fang Nan, and the rest were handed over to the class leader Zhou Shi to preside, until the students were able to line up in a relatively neat four-column horizontal line at a relatively fast speed, and less than two quarters of an hour passed, and the first physical education class was over.
Queue up for training back and forth, not tired, but it will make many students irritable, some students muttered a few words, but there was no one who lost his temper and left directly, mainly because of what happened in the farmland after class in the morning, the elders asked them to respect Fang Nan, the teacher, and now they really don't dare to lose their temper, follow the words of the elders, and listen to the teacher's teachings.
After class, there was no need to queue up for training, and the students were relieved, not physically tired, but tired.
"Oooh, class is finally over."
"I'm so hungry, hurry up and go home and eat."
"I don't know what tomorrow's PE class will be like, I hope I don't have to queue up back and forth."
Soon, the students scattered, and Fang Nan and the Hu family brothers and sisters walked to the house where the Hu family was located, ready to have dinner.
When the students returned home, they naturally talked about the things in the physical education class, and today's physical education class only had a queue for training, and there was nothing to say, only the matter of "exercising" could be said, mainly by the elders.
In the past 15 years, there have only been three bandit invasions, and only one frontal conflict occurred, and the other two invading bandits saw that Qingshanzhai was ready for defense, and knew that there would be heavy casualties if they wanted to take Qingshanzhai itself, so they gave up attacking Qingshanzhai.
Fang Nan's students were too young to participate in the fight against the bandits, and their parents were basically involved, and all their parents began to tell their children stories about their "vicious bandits".
At the end of the words, parents let their children study hard with Teacher Fang Nan, reading and literacy is a skill, and exercising is also a skill, the latter is more important to the current Qingshan Village, which needs to have the power to protect the homeland.
If Fang Nan is just an ordinary child in Qingshan Village, adults will not care about Fang Nan's words, but now most people believe that Fang Nan has lived in another world with his grandfather for thirty years, and he has already been able to read and write, and it is not strange to know some ways to exercise.
Hu family
"I'm out playing."
Just after dinner, Hu Zhuang said a word "calmly" and walked out of the house.
Seeing this scene, Fang Nan shook his head speechlessly, Hu Zhuang's disguise was too bad, and the remaining four people in the house already knew that Hu Zhuang was not playing for fun, but going out for a walk with his good friends to communicate their feelings.
In the first year of Hongwu (1368), Taizu of the Ming Dynasty ordered that civil marriage should be carried out according to the "Zhuzi Family Rites", that is, men are 16 years old and women are 14 years old, and they are subject to their marriage.
Most of the men in Qingshanzhai married wives when they were sixteen or seventeen years old, Hu Zhuang was already fifteen years old, and it was normal for him to have a good relationship, but people in this era were more shy about this kind of thing, and Hu Zhuang would not tell his parents about this kind of thing in a short time.
