Chapter 5: My Girl Grows Up

Han Xin was a little embarrassed to hand the empty bowl to the girl Jiang Tao and asked, "Jiang Tao, can you have another bowl?"

Jiang Tao smiled knowingly and said, "Of course you can." ”

Jiang Tao's mother frowned slightly, but she didn't stop Jiang Tao from continuing to serve Han Xin rice.

She knew that she only brought enough food for her mother and daughter at noon today, and if Han Xin ate another bowl, then the corn in the clay pot would be at the bottom, and her daughter Jiang Tao's lunch would be gone.

Han Xin took the second bowl of corn handed by Jiang Tao, he glanced at Jiang Tao, who was such a good-looking girl, Jiang Tao, gratefully, and then he continued to eat it violently......

After eating the unpalatable salted cabbage leaves, Han Xin felt that he was only half full, after all, he was too hungry before, and there was no oil and water for this lunch, so he felt that he couldn't eat enough.

However, as Han Xin quickly occupied the space in his stomach with corn and salted cabbage leaves, the feeling of being starved to death disappeared, and with it, his physical strength was quickly restored......

Han Xin felt that he could still have two more bowls of rice, but after thinking about it, he should save some lunch for the kind-hearted mother and daughter! Therefore, Han Xin pretended that he was full, and asked Jiang Tao's mother and daughter to eat some as well......

Jiang Tao smiled sweetly and said, "Jiang Tao and Mother, they are full in the morning, and they are not hungry!" ”

In fact, when Jiang Tao had just served the second bowl of corn, he had already scraped the last few grains of rice stuck to the walls and bottom of the clay pot with a wooden rice shovel, and they were all served to Han Xin......

Drifting Mother looked at her daughter with the unusual scrutinizing gaze of the 'passerover', and said secretly: "Who is Wufu hungry?" Belch! Look, my daughter is an adult! ”

Jiang Tao saw her mother looking at her with strange eyes, she rubbed her hands as white as jade a little at a loss, and said to her mother: "Mother, let's pull Wang Sun up!" ”

Drifting Mother shook her head and said, "Wang Sun has eaten enough, and he will definitely have the strength to stand up on his own!" ”

When Han Xin heard this, he just wanted to stand up on his own, but he didn't expect that the girl Jiang Tao had already taken the lead, stretched out one of her jade hands, and put it in front of Han Xin.

Han Xin looked at it, and then thought about why his lips were not dry and chapped, it was because not long ago, cough cough......

Han Xin thought about it again, the mother of the girl Jiang Tao was still in front of her! This little jade-like hand, to hold it or not?

Han Xin didn't expect that after Drifting Mother sighed lightly, she had already turned around.

Han Xin was no longer polite, stretched out his right hand, held Jiang Tao's jade hand, and stood up with strength......

Jiang Tao giggled and said, "It seems that Grandma is really experienced, after Brother Han has eaten enough, he has become much more powerful!" ”

Han Xin saw the tall back of the drifting mother, shook his head helplessly, turned his back to them, and said, "Peach, Grandma go and continue to rinse the silk wool!" Thou hast gone with thy mother! ”

"Mother!"

Han Xin heard Jiang Tao reluctantly and said loudly: "Those silk wool is about to be finished, Jiang Tao wants to learn literacy from Brother Wangsun Han!" ”

The drifting mother stopped, turned around, and asked a little unhappily, "What's the use of learning literacy?" What a mistake! ”

Han Xin pursed his lips, thinking to himself, this is Jiang Tao's mother, who wants to block a beautiful girl's desire for knowledge! This is special, I should come up with a good way to fulfill this beautiful girl's curiosity!

Actually, Han Xin himself is very strange, why does Jiang Tao want to learn to read?

For the ordinary people of this era, the literacy rate is pitifully low, and the literacy rate of women among the people is close to zero......

Han Xin saw that Jiang Tao's pretty face had a stubborn expression, and walked up to her mother, and said persistently but with some sadness:

"Mother, I must learn to read! Because, my father and eldest brother were just a Qiantou because they were illiterate and could not be Qin officials, so six years ago, my father and brother were sent to Xianyang to build a mausoleum for the first emperor, and their life and death are unknown.

Jiang Tao didn't want my eight-year-old third brother to repeat the mistakes of the past, like my father and brother.

Jiang Tao wants to learn literacy from Brother Wang Sun Han, and after learning it, he will teach my brother, so that when my brother grows up, he will enter the school room, study the "Qin Law", and have the opportunity to serve as a Qin official, so as to avoid being conscripted and served! …………”

Han Xin saw that after the drifting mother heard her daughter's heartfelt words, her face that had gone through vicissitudes of life immediately appeared with longing and sorrow, and Han Xin could even see the corners of the drifting mother's eyes, which were already holding tears......

Han Xin listened to what Jiang Tao said just now, and understood why Jiang Tao, a girl from a peasant family, was so eager to learn literacy from herself, all for her eight-year-old brother......

If Jiang Tao learns to read and write, she will be able to teach her younger brother to read and write.

When her younger brother grows up, if he can read and write, he will have a great chance of being elected to the school to study the "Qin Law", and then, after passing the assessment, he is likely to become a Qin official under the rule of Huaiyin County. In that way, she would not be like her father and brother, who were burdened by the extremely tiring servitude of the Great Qin Empire; At the very least, it will be better than ordinary Li people, so that they will not go to the border or serve the tiresome labor that has no return......

Han Xin stood silently to the side, thinking: "At this time, it is already July of the first year of Qin II, Jiang Tao wants her younger brother to be literate and learn "Qin Law" when she is a little older, so that she can become a Qin official when she becomes an adult, but she doesn't know that Qin doesn't have a few years of 'jumping' time." However, literacy can be useful both now and in future dynasties. ”

Han Xin saw that the drifting mother stretched out her hand, brushed the hair on the back of her daughter Jiang Tao's head, and said:

"It's rare for my daughter! However, can Wang Sun teach you? ”

Jiang Tao heard that her mother's words had changed, and she was no longer hindered from learning to read, so she nodded happily and said, "Mother, Brother Wang Sun Han, I have already promised Jiang Tao!" ”

Han Xin saw the opportunity and hurriedly said: "As Jiang Tao said, the letter has promised that he will teach Jiang Tao to read!" ”

After taking a look at her daughter, Piao's mother stared at Han Xin again, and said, "Wang Sun really wants to teach my daughter?" ”

"Yes!" After Han Xin agreed, he said categorically: "Xin will be willing to teach the words he has known in his life!" ”

Han Xin saw that after he said this heartfelt sentence, Jiang Tao's beautiful face was full of joyful and longing smiles;

And Jiang Tao's mother was also very moved, her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it for a while.

Seeing this, Han Xin had to strike while the iron was hot, so that Jiang Tao's mother agreed that her daughter would learn to read and write with him, and then said:

"I, Han Xin, will also teach Jiang Tao's brother to learn literacy, in the future, I will be able to do what Jiang Tao girl wants, my brother will never repeat the mistake of his father and brother being forcibly conscripted into hard labor, and his future must be limitless!"

After listening to Han Xin's words, Drifting Mother couldn't control her emotions anymore, and her tears poured down.

Han Xin was surprised to see that Drifting Mother was not only moved to tears, but she actually gave a deep salute and said while crying:

"Xie Wang Sun is willing to educate my daughter and son! In the future, the food of the king and grandson will be served by me! Don't be suspicious of the king's grandson! ”

Han thought to himself: "How can you dislike it? But ............"
