Chapter 160: Compulsory Education

When Li Zhi returned from the new peasant's village that day, he walked into the house and saw Cui Hezheng and the maid Ju'er sitting at the head of the bed, embroidering a handkerchief there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You're back!"

Seeing Li Zhi coming back, Cui He happily put down his handkerchief and walked up to hug Li Zhi. Cui He is not only a little childish, but also very clingy. After getting married, she was about to stick to Li Zhi as soon as she saw her.

Li Zhi touched the back of Cui He's head and said, "I'm not bored!" ”

"Boring is dead!" Cui He protested dissatisfiedly.

Li Zhi lowered his head and put his ear on Cui He's stomach, listened to the movement in Cui He's stomach, and said, "Isn't there a child with you?" It's been six months! ”

Cui He tilted his head and said, "But he can't speak!" Cui He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Let's go fly a kite, shall we?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "You have such a big belly, can you fly a kite?" ”

Cui He stood on tiptoe and said, "I see you put it away, just put it up and grab it for me." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go." ”

Cui He laughed when he saw Li Zhi agree.

Li Zhi found a big kite with flowers and butterflies, asked the four family members to prepare a sedan chair to carry Cui He, and rode a horse to lead the way in front. He led the family to a hill overgrown with withered grass, stopped the horse, and asked the family to open the front curtain of the sedan chair and let Cui He watch him fly a kite.

Li Zhi wore thick cotton clothes and gloves and flew a kite himself.

The cold wind in November was blowing, and Li Zhi ran a few steps with the kite, and the kite flew up in the north wind, dragging its tail to the sky. Led by the string, the kite swaying upwards in the wind swayed from side to side, circling in circles, as if struggling. Li Zhi hurriedly released the line and let the kite fly to a high place little by little.

Seeing that Li Zhi put the kite up all of a sudden, Cui He clapped his hands and shouted, "It's amazing!" It's amazing! Husband is so amazing! ”

Li Zhi walked to the front of the sedan chair, handed the kite to Cui He, and said, "Come, you come and release the line!" ”

Cui He blinked and took the kite. She seemed a little nervous when she first grabbed the coil, and the expression on her face was serious. But as the kite string was released by her little by little, the expression on her face slowly relaxed. Seeing the kite flying higher and higher in the sky, Cui He gradually became excited, and the corners of his mouth grinned wider.

Li Zhi saw Cui He's excited appearance of flying kites, and secretly said that this is still a little woman who likes to play with kites. In the next life, the eighteen-year-old Cui He would still be just a college freshman who was having fun everywhere.

After putting a cup of tea, half of the coil was put out, Cui He took a breath and said, "I'm so tired, I'm tired, I'll give you back the kite!" ”

Li Zhi took the kite, slowly released the string, and pulled it back and forth in the wind.

Cui He watched it with relish in the sedan chair, and clapped his hands in admiration from time to time.

After playing for half an hour, Li Zhi saw that Cui He was also a little tired, so he said, "Okay, let's go back!" ”

Cui He nodded and said, "Husband is so powerful!" Hug it! ”

Li Zhi walked into the sedan chair and hugged Cui He, and then he took the coil down little by little. Putting away the kite, Li Zhi rode back to Fanjiazhuang with the group.

Wu Ku is an oil seller in Fanjiazhuang.

He was originally an oil seller in the Tianjin Acropolis, with an old mother and a pair of children under him, and his life was hard. There were too many people selling oil in the Tian0jin Acropolis, and everyone's business was not good, and he could only earn one or two taels of silver a month at that time, and sometimes he couldn't make any money. Without money, Wu Ku's family of five often starved. Wu Ku had a sad face every day at that time, and only said where to find a way out and make money to eat.

At the beginning of this year, he heard that Fanjiazhuang was very rich and could make money from all walks of life, so he gritted his teeth and moved to Fanjiazhuang. He asked his nephew, who worked in a textile factory, to be a guarantor and sold the oil to Fanjiazhuang.

In order to prevent a large number of displaced people from gathering in Fanjiazhuang, the guerrilla general of Fanjiazhuang stipulated that only the workers working in the Li family's workshop could enter Fanjiazhuang to do business, and each worker could only guarantee one merchant who came to Fanjiazhuang. It is also thanks to Wu Ku that he has always loved this nephew since he was a child, so he got the opportunity to join Fanjiazhuang.

When he arrived at Fanjiazhuang, Wu Ku found that business here was really much better. The entire Chengbei Bazaar corresponds to thousands of residents in the northern part of the city, but there are only four oil sellers in the bazaar. Not to mention that the people in Fanjiazhuang are rich and eat a lot of oil. Although the price of selling oil is still the same as that of Tian0jin, there are many more buyers. Wu Ku has small profits and quick turnover, and can earn two taels and five dollars of silver a month.

Combined with his daughter-in-law's income from weaving cloth at home, his family has an income of three taels and eight dollars of silver a month. So much silver is enough for his family of five to live, not only can they eat enough, but they can also make cotton jackets in winter and single clothes in summer, and eat meat during the New Year's holidays.

Not only that, but the rent in Fanjiazhuang is also cheap. In the past, Wu Ku rented two leaky houses in Tian0jin for three dollars of silver per month, but now Wu Ku rents two houses in the villa of the general, a good house without worrying about wind and rain, as long as the rent is two dollars and one cent.

Today's good life is something that Wu Ku didn't dare to think about before.

However, at the end of this year, something even better came, the general gave the children free books to read, and let the children go to school to read!

What a decent thing is reading a book? Wu Ku was born poor, never went to school for a day in his life, and admired the most scholars. Every time he saw a scholar, he was respectful and respectful, not daring to speak casually. Even the names of his eldest son and youngest daughter were obtained by him for a hundred yuan to hire a showman.

I heard that people who work in the general's industry, as long as they have read and know how to read, will be promoted to supervisor in a year or two, and will receive a monthly salary of three taels or even four taels of silver, and their future will be very different from that of illiteracy.

In the past, Wu Ku was just an oil seller after all, and he couldn't afford to pay for it, so he couldn't provide for his two children to read and write. But now that the general has given his children free of charge, Wu Ku will not miss such a good thing, and he went to the official hall early to register. The people in the official hall said that this reading can be read by both boys and girls, with one class for boys and one class for girls. However, the first batch only allowed children over the age of eight to enroll, Wu Ku's eldest son went to school, and the younger daughter waited a few more years.

On December 20, the school opened, and Wu Ku's eldest son went to study in the school.

It only took two days for my son to learn to write names.

Wu Ku was excited to see that his son could write. He took his son's handwriting to the north of the city to show off in the market, and told others everywhere that his son had learned it in the school. Those who saw Wu Ku's son's "calligraphy" praised Wu Ku's son for his talent, which made Wu Ku very proud.

On this day, Wu Ku showed off his son's "calligraphy" outside before closing the stall, and then returned home.

When he arrived at home, as soon as Wu Ku entered the door, he saw his son practicing writing with water on the table, and he was immediately overjoyed - his son studied so hard, it wouldn't be long before he could read and break words, wouldn't it be a good time? In the future, if my son grows up, if he can do things for the general, won't he be able to become a supervisor?

Wu Ku put the guy on the wall of the hall, walked to the table and asked his son, "Son, what kind of writing are you writing?" ”

Wu Ku's son raised his head and said, "This is the word that Mr. today taught me, it is my father's name, Wu Ku's word for Ku!" ”

Wu Ku smiled when he heard this, and said, "Dad can't write his name, but you can write it, it's really good!" ”

Wu Ku's son pulled out a piece of paper and said, "Dad, I'll teach you to write your name!" ”

Wu Ku was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, son, you teach your father to write his name!" ”

Wu Ku's son took out a piece of white paper, dipped the brush in ink, wrote Wu Ku's name on the paper, handed the two words to Wu Ku, and said, "Dad, you can take a chopstick and practice the words I wrote." ”

Seeing that his son was proficient in handwriting, Wu Ku smiled happily and said, "Okay! Good! My son is really capable, and he will definitely be better than his father in the future! ”
