Spring to autumn to a flicker into the winter, I don't know where to blow a cold wind, so that the earth has fallen into a depression, because there is no need to work in the field, the family is all nested on the kang, idle is also boring, so I bought a book and pen, ink, paper and inkstone with the children lying on the table to write.

If it is not necessary and interested, modern people will not be able to write calligraphy, Ye Bing, who has not been taught by a special person, writes with a brush The words are particularly large, a bit of ghost drawing, which can only be recognized, and it is far from being good-looking.

Except for the youngest Zhu Chongba, who is a baby, the other seven children were called to practice calligraphy, it doesn't matter if they are too young to write, they have to integrate into this atmosphere with a brush and draw circles, which can be regarded as a kind of teaching by word and deed.

After all, this is not a brick family, and many methods of educating children are learned from scratch, and they feel that they are applicable.

Zhu Chongwu took a brush to write for the first time, and was originally full of confidence that he thought that he could write as good as the book, but his right hand did not obey the call at all, he wanted to go to the east but he wanted to go southeast, and finally wrote out the words like an earthworm four like a series, which was discouraged without writing a few words, "Mother, we don't read, why do we have to practice calligraphy?" ”

After finishing the last one perfectly, Ye Bing felt very sore in her hands, put the brush on the inkstone, and then she raised her eyes to look at Chongwu's practice, saying that it was better to say that it was a mess of ink spilled on rice paper, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned and said with a smile, "Mother is going to arrange for you and your four brothers to go to school in the spring next year." ”

The children of poor families are all working in the fields, and it is basically impossible to study, after all, a book costs a few taels of silver, not to mention the long-term consumables such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the huge expenses dare not make people think about it.

Among them, the most excited reaction is the heavy one and the two, and in the coming year they will be fifteen of thirteen, one can marry a wife, one can be married, according to modern people, they are all adults and go to school with primary school students, simple and generous.

After the two brothers glanced at each other, they tacitly reached a unified idea, "Mother, you arrange for your three younger brothers to go to study, and my second brother and I work at home." ”

Ye Bing moved his sore wrist, and after hearing his son's words, he subconsciously shook his head and said a very realistic question, "Now our family has no land, and there is a big girl who takes care of the housework, so you basically have no work to do if you don't study." ”

The land will be returned to Boss Zhu after he leaves, and if there is no income in the family, then they should not be able to go to school, otherwise it will be difficult for the family to support so many children, and they will all be sent to study, this is not an additional burden on the family, "Mother, then my second brother and I should go to the county to help make money to supplement the family." ”

The helper's activity is unstable, and the income is actually not much, and he may not even earn 1 tael of silver in a month, so not only is his time wasted, but he also does not help his family.

"If you really want to help your family, then study hard and get admitted to Xiucai as soon as possible, in that case, my family can be exempted from taxes and forced labor in the future, not to mention, you can also get subsidies from the government for free, etc., and no one will dare to bully us orphans and widows easily in the future." If you want to be strong without being bullied, Ye Bing will leave sooner or later, but before that, you must arrange the back road of these children.

"But mother, if you want to provide for our five brothers to study at one time, it will cost a lot of money." Zhu Chongyi is still worried about the lack of money at home.

"As long as you study hard and strive to be admitted as soon as possible, money is not a problem." Ye Bing didn't tell a few children about the silver ticket given by Zhang Daxian and the business of vegetable oil, and sometimes ignorance is also a means to save his life.
