Chapter Seventy-One: Clever and Eager to Learn
When Bai Yongjing heard that he could go to the county seat, he was very happy, "Okay, mother, I can go and see my uncle, I haven't seen him for a long time, I miss him!"
Seeing her son's happy appearance, Chu Xintian couldn't help but smile.
In her previous life, Chu Xintian had no family and relatives. In this life, she is very lucky, with such a lovely son and considerate younger brother, Chu Xintian wants to buy a house for Chu Yuan in the county town, renovate her family's adobe house, and let his family live a happy life.
To do these things, the first thing to do is to make money, otherwise the wish will not come true.
Thinking of this, Chu Xintian took Bai Yongjing's hand and went to the depths of the forest with the wolf mother to collect medicine.
Chu Xintian originally collected medicine with Niu Li's family, and Bai Yongjing followed her for the first time today.
Children are always curious about new things. When he saw Chu Xintian looking for medicinal herbs, he asked excitedly.
Curiosity is a good thing for children, Chu Xintian told Bai Yongjing that he had learned the pharmacological knowledge from the Materia Medica system.
Although Bai Yongjing is still young, she is very smart, Chu Xintian only said it once, and he remembered it.
Chu Xintian thought to herself, his son was too smart to delay his future, and after selling the money, she had to send Bai Yongjing to a private school.
They had collected the medicine and came back to unbutton the beautiful bird.
While they were going up the mountain to collect medicine, the trap under the roots of the tree caught two more prey, a pheasant and a rabbit.
When Chu Xintian was collecting medicine, the mother wolf grabbed a rabbit, bit its neck, and held it in her mouth.
When they returned with a full load, they were all happy.
When he got home, Bai Yongjing helped Chu Xintian dry the medicinal herbs, and then went to play with Xiao Ash, the wolf mother lay down in the hall and slept, and Chu Xintian began to cook dinner.
These days, the main dishes of their house are the prey that the wolf mother caught from the North Mountain.
Every time the wolf mother caught her prey, she killed them directly, so it couldn't sell much in the market, so Bai Yongjing didn't insist on selling, he agreed with Chu Xintian to keep them to eat.
Bai Yongjing was not so obsessed with money anymore, and seeing him have changed, it made Chu Xintian feel very happy.
After dinner, Chu Xintian lit the fuel lamp and began to do a "big thing".
Chu Xintian's so-called big thing is to make clothes for Bai Yongjing.
For the average rural woman, making clothes is not a big deal.
But Chu Xintian is different, she comes from the future world, in that life, she bought ready-made clothes, and the needle and thread were rarely touched.
They don't have the money to make clothes now, so they have to make their own. Chu Xintian also felt that the clothes she made more of a mother-son relationship.
Chu Xintian didn't do it herself, she consulted Niu Li and Grandma Li, spent a few days, and finally made a small dress for Bai Yongjing.
As soon as she thought that she was going to the county seat tomorrow, she wanted her son to wear new clothes, so she used the evening to sew the clothes that were to be made again.
While Chu Xintian was making clothes, Bai Yongjing was lying on the table and practicing calligraphy with an oil lamp.
There were still two inkstones left at home, but Bai Yongjing was reluctant to use them, so he only took a brush and dipped it in some water to practice on the table.
Chu Xintian looked at the table and saw the words he wrote:
Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang......
Chu Xintian knew that Bai Yongjing was writing a hundred family names.
The surname is dedicated to children's initiation.
School education in this period began with the three-character scriptures, the surnames of the common people, and the thousand-character script.
It will take a few years to learn these books, but Bai Yongjing has not read a day of private school, but he can write hundreds of family names, obviously, he is very smart.
"Jing'er, can you memorize all the surnames of the hundred families?"
Of course, my dad taught me a long time ago. I can not only memorize hundreds of family names, but also memorize thousand-character texts and three-character scriptures. My father said that I could learn the Analects, but before teaching me, he ......" Thinking of Bai Er's death, Bai Yongjing's little face showed a sad expression.
