Chapter 103: A Daughter-in-law and Half a Daughter (45)
It didn't take long for the earthen kang to be built, Jiang Ru used the weather charm, and the gas quickly became cold, and it snowed within two seconds.
Everyone had already prepared, dressed in thick clothes, holding in the ancestral hall, watching the first heavy snow of the year.
When it snows, it is very cold, but there is the existence of the earthen kang, and the villagers of Niujia Village are not cold, and they can drink it with relish in the house one by one, holding a bowl of hot water.
Duan Mei raised in bed for a month before getting out of bed, and when she happened to encounter snow, she moved to the ancestral hall and lived with everyone.
The ancestral hall is separated from men and women, with two rooms for men and three rooms for women.
All the furniture in the house is gone, and it is directly a clay kang connected from the beginning to the end, and a clay kang can lie on thirty or forty people.
Because there was nothing going on, and it was women and men who got together, they huddled together one by one to gossip.
Duan Mei was huddled together by a group of people to talk.
"Sister-in-law Mei, I heard that you didn't come out of the house because you did a month's confinement, is it true?"
"Mei, you are so happy, you have even done a full month of confinement. Your mother-in-law is so good to you, I really envy you. Not so lucky as me? "It's the woman of the Niu Shu family at the head of the village.
She was both envious and jealous of Duan Mei.
is also a daughter-in-law, she was happy as soon as she entered the door, and there were three dead children who gave birth, why didn't her mother-in-law treat her so well.
"Phew! The new chapter mother is good to Mei, that is Mei is capable! What a good daughter-in-law! If you're like May, I'm so nice to you! ”
Niu Shuniang was suddenly unhappy, puffing out her eyes and swords
"If you don't want to pass, just go straight, and I won't stop you!"
Niu Shujia didn't expect his mother-in-law to come over, and he immediately blushed, and explained weakly: "Mother-in-law, I didn't mean that? ”
"What does that mean? Hum! Don't think I don't know, you just think I've treated you badly! Don't think about your own virtue! Eat more and do less, eat too lazy, and the sweet roots in the child's mouth can be pulled out and stuffed into his mouth. Niu Shuniang is quite disgusted with her daughter-in-law.
The momentum of the Niu Shu family was even weaker, and they didn't dare to fight against her mother-in-law.
She didn't want to go back to her parents' house, where several people had starved to death, and she heard that her nieces and nephews had been given to someone else.
She stayed in Niujia Village, and she still stuttered.
Stay in this room, and there are people listening to the words.
So there will always be such and such problems, noisy and noisy, which makes Jiang Ru's head big.
After only three, Jiang Ru couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to propose to the village chief to open a writing class, so that all the people in the village, regardless of men, women, and children, could read and write together.
The village chief felt that Jiang Ru was whimsical, but Niu Xinzhang was extra supportive.
Why? Because it means that he is useful again.
For so long before coming to the ancestral hall, neither Jiang Ru nor Duan Mei had ever spoken to Niu Xinzhang.
If it weren't for Jiang Ru every time he brought him food, Niu Xinzhang would have suspected that he had been forgotten.
Coming to the ancestral hall, his life was a little better, although it was very uncomfortable to sleep with many people, but someone talked to him, making him feel that he was finally alive.
He no longer dislikes these dirty peasants, and every time these three smile, he will answer seriously when others ask him.
Jiang Ru can't talk to the village chief about the importance of reading because he can't break people, but Niu Xinzhang can.
He spared no effort to be able to make himself worthwhile.
"Village chief, I think my mother is right, there is nothing to do now, and the villagers can learn to read and write. Didn't someone who didn't know how to read before, signed a contract to work outside, and didn't get a penny?
If all the people in our village knew some basic words for writing contracts, they would not be easy to be deceived when they went out to work. ”
When the people around heard it, they all felt that it made sense, "Brother Xinzhang is right, I was just because I couldn't read and write, and it was obviously twenty wen one, but as a result, the contract was written ten wen one, which caused me to take half of the money less." ”
"Anyway, we don't have much to do when we're idle, so it's better to find something to do. Especially these young people, they can't hold back every time they are in the house. ”
"The village chief agrees."
……
When the village chief heard this, he agreed.
"Then let Xinzhang teach everyone to read, but even if it's a woman, what do you do to recognize words? If you have nothing to do, you can do embroidery. ”
Jiang Ru's original purpose was to let the women have something to do and not be so noisy, but when she heard his words, her head suddenly exploded.
Niu Xinzhang observed the change in Jiang Ru's expression, and was busy: "Village chief, you have also heard of marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous, this is not just it." Women's families understand more truths, and the children born must be sensible and reasonable. ”
The village chief still disagreed, he was an old stubborn, and he would not agree to such a thing.
"A woman should do women's things, she should teach her husband and children, learn to cook and embroider when she has nothing to do! Reading and literacy are all men's business, and it is against the norm for women to do this. And how can those women have the ability to read and write, and it is estimated that they will not be able to learn it if they teach them, which is a waste of time. ”
Jiang Ru listened, and her brows moved slightly.
Seeing this, Niu Xinzhang's heart twitched, and he was a little worried that the village chief would be unlucky.
I don't know why, but the more he looked at it recently, he realized that the evil ghost he once thought was actually a little similar to the Bodhisattva in his dream.
There is also the matter of his father's dream, which he suspects also has something to do with her.
Niu Xinzhang didn't dare to be careless, and continued to persuade: "Village chief, I heard that those rich women are literate, so the children they give birth to can be big officials. If our village wants to develop well, women must be taught well, and if women are taught well, the children will be better, and after the children are good, whether they are studying or doing other things, they will be more promising. ”
The village chief still didn't want to agree, but seeing that Niu Xinzhang insisted, he didn't want to save his face, so he nodded and agreed.
"If you want to teach us here, who will teach the women on the other side?"
"May can teach." Jiang Ru.
Mei already knew most of the words, so it was okay to teach the women.
Duan Mei heard this and refused again and again.
"How can I teach anyone? I can't do it, I can't do it! ”
Jiang Ru: "Mei, you can do the new chapter, you can naturally do it!" You have to believe in yourself! ”
But even if Duan Mei agreed, the rest of the women were not very willing.
What's so fun about reading and reading, it's better to talk about gossip and listen to gossip and watch a good show.
Even Jiang Ru: "The village chief looks down on women, and thinks that it is not good to teach women to read and write." Don't you want to read and write well and surprise the village chief and the men? ”
However, unexpectedly, everyone did not feel that the village chief's words insulted them, but agreed with the village chief's words.
"The village chief is right, we can't read well."
"yes, what's the use of literacy? and it cannot be eaten as food. ”
"It's just, I might as well sleep a little longer with all that time."
"Xinzhang Niang, forget it, I don't know how to read, just looking at those words, I have a headache."
……
Jiang Ru watched the women lying on the kang one by one, staggering, some children running around on the ground, and some crawling around on the bed.
They don't know the importance of knowledge, and for them to come, it is the happiest thing to be well fed and clothed.
She wants to change this situation, since she has come to this world, she has to do something and leave some memorial.
So, she took out a booklet.
On this booklet is a story called "Dream of Red Mansions".
Jiang Ru took out his nirvana, and the women immediately fell into the Zheng of this story
For this knowledge-poor village, fresh and interesting stories are undoubtedly very attractive.
Duan Mei only spoke for the first time, and it didn't take long for the whole room to attract people to come.
Listen to the stories and discuss them one by one.
"Are there really immortals in the world? This stone can actually become a human being, and it is also reincarnated as a son? ”
"This Huo Qi is really not a person, he lost his daughter, and he ran away directly, I really pity this Master Zhen and Mrs. Zhen."
"This lame Taoist is also an immortal, right? It sounds amazing. ”
……
[Words, Eleven, why are your books so cheap here?] ]
Eleven is honest: [Knowledge is priceless.] As long as it is not a book that exceeds the level of technological development, and the host is not used for profit, books in the system are basically cheap. ]
[That's not bad.] ] can save points.
After the first lecture, everyone looked at Duan Mei with blank eyes.
"Mei continues, what about the next?"
Duan Mei glanced at Jiang Ru, Jiang Ru nodded, and motioned for her to continue.
You have to get everyone interested in her before she can talk about the conditions.
For women who love gossip, they like to listen to stories the most, especially the stories of the houses of large families.
After listening to the neighbors for the second time, everyone was fascinated, and the people in the next room listened to Duan Mei telling a story, and crowded over to listen, and the room was lively for a while.
But after talking about the second neighborhood, Duan Mei stopped talking.
The women immediately stopped doing it and asked Duan Mei to continue.
Duan Mei looked at Jiang Ru, and Jiang Ru smiled and said nothing.
It took a while for the woman to react.
"The booklet with the story seems to have been given to Mei by the new chapter mother."
"What's wrong with the new chapter girl? Could it be that we are not allowed to listen to this story? ”
"No, Xinzhangniang wanted us to learn to write with Mei, but we didn't learn it, and then she took the storybook out." Someone vaguely guessed Jiang Ru's intentions.
"You mean, like Brother Xinzhang, if she wants to listen to stories, she must learn to read and write, and she can only listen to stories if she knows words?"
"I guess that's how it should be?"
"Huh? We're all so old, what do we do when we learn to read? And you can't eat it. ”
"We're the same, but the bride doesn't seem to be happy. What we read and recognize can better teach children. ”
"But we didn't know how to read before, so didn't we raise our children well?"
"That's it, I'm going to go with Xinzhang Niang."
"I'll go too."
……
Several older women came over to negotiate with Jiang Ru, trying to convince Jiang Ru and let Duan Mei continue to tell the story.
But Jiang Ru only said one sentence, "If you want to listen to a story, you can read it." ”
Everyone dried up, but they couldn't move Jiang Ru.
In the end, it was the village chief's daughter-in-law who persuaded Jiang Rucai to relent, the older ones don't need to know how to read, but girls of the age must know how to read.
When everyone heard this, they were immediately happy.
Girls can read and write, anyway, it's okay now, just toss them around, as long as they can listen to stories.
