Chapter 165: The First Lesson in Life
In the scorching summer, the rich and noble families hid in the ice room containing ice cubes to rest, and easily refused to leave, but for ordinary people, they still had to work under the scorching sun, especially in summer, it was the busiest time of the year, and the farmland was full of people almost all day and night, and there were farmers bending down to harvest wheat everywhere.

"Do you all know how to memorize the poem you taught yesterday?" Li Xiu did not teach in the ice room today, but sat cross-legged in the shade of the tree and said to the three students, in addition to Qi Niang and Li Chengdao, Li Chengqian also officially started classes with him, and he was not like Li Chengdao who could only come every few days, but would be sent by Li Shimin every day.
"It's back!" Qi Niang and the three replied very neatly.
"Very good, starting with the oldest Chengdao, everyone recite it once!" Li Xiu commanded with a straight face, as a teacher, you can't blindly lower your status, and the necessary maintenance of the majesty of a teacher will also make students more convinced of him.
"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work!" Li Chengdao almost didn't think about it, so he recited it.
After Li Chengdao went back yesterday, he showed this "Compassion for Nong" to his father, but Li Jiancheng was silent for a long time after reading it, and then patted him on the shoulder, asking him to study hard with Li Xiu, and even some studies in the palace can be relaxed, which also gave Li Chengdao a great shock, so he also memorized this poem well.
After listening to Li Chengdao's recitation, Li Xiu also nodded approvingly, and then looked at Qi Niang, speaking of which, although Qi Niang is not very attentive to learning, but he is the smartest one, Li Chengdao is smart enough, but compared with Qi Niang, it is still a little worse, no matter what Li Xiu teaches, it is a little bit clear, there are still some geniuses in this world, of course, geniuses also need to accumulate knowledge through continuous learning, otherwise they will be no different from ordinary people in the future, so Li Xiu's requirements for Qi Niang are also very strict.
It's just a poem, Qi Niang will memorize it after a few glances, so she opened her mouth and recited it, and then it was the turn of the youngest Li Chengqian, this little guy has only been here for a few days, first, he is young, and secondly, he is a little unconvinced by Li Xiu, and the completion of his homework is also a little sloppy, so he stammered and memorized for a while, but he couldn't memorize it.
"Okay, Cheng Qian, you haven't completed the assigned homework, go back and copy ten times in the evening, and bring it tomorrow for me to check, and you must be able to memorize!" Li Xiu glanced at him lightly and said.
"Know...... Got it! Li Chengqian agreed very reluctantly, since he came, he didn't like to come to Li Xiu to take classes here, but his father Li Shimin was pressing, so he had to come.
Seeing Li Chengqian such a small person, he actually held such a grudge, which made Li Xiu frown slightly, if this kind of narrow-mindedness does not want to change it, I am afraid that he will never be able to be a qualified prince, think about what happened to Li Chengqian in later generations, you will find that with his conditions at the time, in fact, he does not need to do anything at all, he only needs to show his ability to handle government affairs moderately, and it is enough to inherit the throne safely and steadily, but it is a pity that a deck of cards that are too good to be good can not be better, but he has become a bad card.
"Okay, yesterday's homework is checked, and then we have to take today's class, but this class is a little special, and it is not at home!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, and after speaking, he also glanced at Li Chengqian deliberately.
A person's character is formed by many influences, and now he is still young, and his personality is still very plastic, so Li Xiu has specially formulated some courses for him, no longer learning those arithmetic poems, but learning some principles of life, such as today's class is his first lesson in life!
"Not at home, is it going to the valley?" Li Chengdao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he still remembered the day Li Xiu took him to swim, and although he was scolded by his father afterwards, he still missed the happiness of that day.
"Hehe, you'll know where you're going then, but now you're going to bring something!" Li Xiu suddenly smiled mysteriously at this time, and then he asked Yuechan to take a few things and distribute them, each of them had a cloth pocket that could be hung around their necks, and a straw hat, which immediately felt like three little pirates after wearing it.
"What are these things for, sir?" Li Chengdao curiously played with the straw hat on his head and asked with a smile, although it was just an ordinary straw hat, but it seemed to him that it was also very novel, because he had never touched these before.
"The straw hat is used for shade, as for the cloth pocket on your chest, it is used to gather wheat, it is now the summer harvest season, all the farmers are working hard, but in the harvested wheat field, it is inevitable that some ears of wheat will fall in the field, and the homework I will assign to you today is to go to pick up the ears of wheat!" Li Xiu said with a smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at his smile, there was a taste of bad intentions.
"Gleaning? It sounds very interesting, no wonder Mr. had to teach us to memorize poems like "Compassion for Nong" before, and now we can finally experience the difficulty of grain harvesting. Li Chengdao was the oldest, and he was the first to understand Li Xiu's intentions, and even felt very excited, but after he realized the hard work of the summer harvest, I hope he can maintain this optimistic attitude.
"Great, I finally don't have to go to class, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and get out!" Qi Niang also shouted happily at this time, for her, as long as she doesn't have to go to class, she can do whatever she does.
Li Chengqian is young, and he doesn't know the hard work of the summer harvest, especially when he sees his cousin and Qi Niang so happy, so he rarely shows an expression of expectation. This also made Li Xiu, who was sitting in front of him, smile even more sinisterly, hoping that these little guys would not scold themselves when they were working.
At that moment, Li Xiu left home with his three children, as their husband, Li Xiu naturally had to take responsibility, so he was also dressed in the same way, and when he crossed the river and came to his own field, he saw that Liu Laoda and other tenants were also nervously harvesting wheat, and several of the wheat in the field had been pulled to the threshing floor to dry, and the fallen ears of wheat had not had time to pick up.
With Li Xiu's order, the three little guys immediately rushed into the field excitedly to pick up the ears of wheat, and then threw them into the pocket of their chests, very simple and boring work, at the beginning, Qi Niang and Li Chengdao were still full of interest, and even found some small insects in the field, causing them to make a fuss and scream.
But their interest soon passed, with a big sun on their heads, sweat kept flowing, and they kept repeating boring mechanical movements, which made the three of them all start to be a little impatient, especially Li Chengqian was even more impatient, and Li Xiu refused to rest several times, but finally he couldn't help but drop his hat and said loudly: "It's too hot, I'm not dry, I want to drink ice water!"
