Chapter 26 Which is more important
After a few days, Daddy Zhou Tie's waist has improved a lot. Now I can get off the kang and walk a few steps slowly, but with a little force, my waist still hurts for a while.
At this time, Zhou Tie was sitting on the kang, his face was very calm, and he didn't have a cold face towards Zhou Zhi like before.
I don't know what my father called me, Zhou Zhili looked at my father under the kang.
"Xiao Zhi has been reading in recent days?" Zhou Tie asked softly.
Because he has been in the back room for the past few days, and the room where Zhou Zhi sleeps and reads is in another room, it was not until today that he learned about Zhou Zhi's reading from Zhou Shaocheng.
Naturally, there is no need to hide it from my father, and I can't hide it if I want to.
Zhou Zhi nodded and said, "Well, a few days ago, I went to Master Wang to borrow a few books to read. Zhou Zhi said very casually, with a casual look.
"Isn't Xiaozhi reading because he wants to be a reader?" Zhou Tie then asked.
"This ...... Children don't actually want to be readers, but they borrow books to read when it's raining these days and they have nothing to do at home. Zhou Zhi said because he had long known that his father did not support his study.
Zhou Tie was silent for a moment, and then said, "That's the best, Xiaozhi, do you know that reading people are not so easy to do." I need to buy a lot of books, I study hard day and night, and I spend a lot of money, and in the end, I may still be a bamboo basket for nothing, and I can't read a fame.
Our Zhou family has been a farmer for generations, and we have never been a scholar. That scholar should actually be a literary star in the sky! A family like our Zhou family, how can there be no scholars, and the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family does not have such an atmosphere!
Besides, Xiaozhi, our family is poor, and there is not much land. Although the father is still physically strong, the work in the field cannot be done by the father alone. As small as you are born strong, your father has already seen that you are a good hand at work. Your younger brother is thin and weak, and it will be really difficult to work in the fields in the future, and I will worry a lot about my father. In the future, he will need you to help him. ”
Zhou Tie stopped when he said this, and looked at Zhou Zhi with a pair of eyes.
Zhou Zhihe couldn't hear what his father Zhou Tie meant, in the end, he was still worried that he was not good at farming, and embarking on the road of studying would make life more difficult for his family, and he would fall into a pitiful end with no food and clothing in the future.
"The children that Daddy said all know that children only study in their leisure time, and they will not delay the work of the family, and it is still clear which is more important than the child." Zhou Zhi said immediately.
In Zhou Tie's ears, it is natural that farming is the most important and reading is lighter. But it is different here in Zhou Zhi, in Zhou Zhi's view, it is naturally important to read. But if you mainly study and don't do farming from now on, it will naturally not work. If you want to study and go to school, you must live first, and you must have some money at home.
In a word, what Zhou Zhi thinks is that he attaches importance to reading in thought, but only cares about reading in action, which is absolutely impossible now.
Zhou Tie nodded helplessly, still unrelenting, "Xiaozhi, according to Daddy, you still don't want to read that book." Your Uncle Zhang has an ancestral craft of gelding, and he wanted to pass on his craft to his three sons, but the three sons were determined not to learn it. Especially your tiger brother is even more determined, and he would rather be a fool of nothing all day long, and he will not learn that craft, which will break your Uncle Zhang's heart!
Your Uncle Zhang's craft must be passed on, so if I tell him, let him pass it on to you, so that you can make a living in your spare time. ”
Let me learn the craft of a gelding pig and become a gelding guy in the future? As a traverser, I traveled to this Ming Dynasty and became a gelding guy, which is too ridiculous to say.
Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi almost couldn't help laughing.
But seeing that his father Zhou Tie had a dignified face, it can be described as bitter persuasion, and Zhou Zhicai barely held back.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zhi said, "The child knows the relationship between Daddy and Uncle Zhang, if Daddy really talks to Uncle Zhang about letting Xiao Zhi learn to be a gelding, Uncle Zhang will not refuse." But Daddy never thought that it was a craft passed down from Uncle Zhang's ancestors, and this ancestral craft was passed on to an outsider, and Uncle Zhang would definitely feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
In Xiao Zhi's opinion, it is better for Dad not to do the things that make Uncle Zhang embarrassed. ”
He is clearly saying in disguise that he doesn't learn to be a gelding, but he is just a tactful. But in this way, Zhou Tie also felt that it made sense.
Since Zhou Tie quarreled with Zhou Zhi that day, he found that Zhou Zhi had changed too much after falling into a coma, becoming a governor a lot, and becoming a little stubborn.
According to his temper, after learning that Zhou Zhi was secretly reading, he would definitely scold Zhou Zhi fiercely before, such as what kind of toad wants to eat swan meat, and finally asked Zhou Zhi to return the book he borrowed from the old master Wang.
That day, Zhou Zhi and his father Zhou Tie played hard, and the impact on Zhou Tie was still quite large. In the past few days, I saw that Zhou Zhi was very sensible and very filial to him, but Zhou Tie finally decided to change his way, talked slowly with Zhou Zhi, and persuaded him patiently.
In the end, he still didn't achieve the goal of making Zhou Zhi completely give up studying, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
However, Zhou Tie still said, "Xiaozhi, you have to remember, this family will depend on you one day in the future, we are poor peasants, we have to do what farmers should do, although it is good to study and test for fame, but after all, it has nothing to do with us." ”
"The kid wrote it down!" Zhou Zhi nodded hurriedly.
Although Daddy Zhou Tie does not support his own study, he does not strongly prevent it, which is enough.
、、、、、、
After several days of rain, he finally stopped, got up early on this day, read a few pages of "Elementary School", worked hard in the stable, and walked towards the field after breakfast.
After a few days of rain, the countryside is filled with a layer of tidal fog, but fortunately, the morning sun in the east is spreading light and heat, slowly dispersing the fog. The fragrance of the earth rushed straight to Zhou Zhi's nostrils, and Zhou Zhi took a few breaths of fresh breath, well! It's such a familiar taste, I think I always like to mix the smell of earth when I was young in later generations, which makes people feel comfortable and refreshed.
The field was very wet, just right for the emergence of wheat. Counting this is the sixth day of wheat planting, Zhou Zhi stood at the head of the field, looking at his own field, the sharp malt has broken out of the soil, the wheat is very neat, and a piece of green can almost be seen at this time.
The corners of Zhou Zhi's mouth hung a smile, hehe! Speaking of which, this should be Chen Wenju's credit.
By the way, it's been a few days, and there has been no movement on the Chen family's side, could it be that they want this matter to pass like this? Don't want to take revenge on our Zhou family at all?
Then Zhou Zhi shook his head slowly, no, the Chen family is not that kind of family. Hum! I'm waiting for him to see what kind of moth he comes up with to get revenge on me.
After thinking about it for a while, his eyes finally fell on the half-acre of land that had not been planted with wheat.
Well! It's late autumn, and it's time to start preparing for your own things, but I don't know if my idea will work in this Ming Dynasty or not?
Either way, you have to give it a try.
