Chapter 0253: Sang Xiu'er
Zhou Qingfeng took two classes and systematically taught some basic geographical knowledge to the students he recruited. For the low-level people who only see the land of Fushun, their vision has surpassed the vast majority of bureaucrats and intellectuals in this era in an instant.
Rivers, mountains, cities, and oceans, the content of the two classes was concise and condensed, but it aroused the great curiosity of all the people inside and outside the classroom on the spot. The students in the classroom all looked at Zhou Qingfeng with excited expressions and looked at the map behind him. Because there is a wealth of knowledge behind these two simple lessons, these people have the concept of 'world' for the first time.
"Alright, that's it for tonight's class. Give you ten minutes to ask questions. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the podium, and he talked endlessly for a long time, but in fact, he was still unfinished. If you are dealing with good students, teaching and educating people is an addictive responsibility.
When it was time to ask questions, the classroom became quiet. The deeply shocked brains are repeatedly recalling the knowledge Zhou Qingfeng said, but it is too difficult to take the initiative to ask. They have long been accustomed to passively accepting the information conveyed by their superiors, and rarely think about themselves.
But young people are still young people, and soon someone asked a few superficial questions. Qiao Xuenian was listening energetically, and felt that this class was an eye-opener, and suddenly someone next to him touched his arm and said, "Hey...... you go and ask me a question." β
Qiao Xuenian turned her head, it was the girl who called herself 'Sang Xiu'er' just now. Seeing the other party's eyes flickering and staring at him, he immediately felt his blood surging again, and said with a fever on his face: "I ......, I don't know what to ask." Why don't you ask yourself? β
After saying this, Qiao Xuenian felt that he was stupid to death.......
The girl lowered her head, her face turned red like a mosquito, and said, "I'm a woman, stand up and ask, what a shame." You ask one for me. β
Qiao Xuenian didn't know where the enthusiasm came from, so he opened his mouth and shouted, "The owner said that men and women are equal." Women can ask the same questions. β
Neologisms, neologisms, this is definitely a neologism!
Qiao Xuenian shouted so loudly that the whole classroom could hear it, and his heart was pounding and fluttering after he shouted. Zhou Qingfeng had just answered a question, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed and thought: Okay, finally someone can keep up with Lao Tzu's thoughts. He locked onto the person who spoke, and immediately shouted loudly: "Qiao Xuenian, you are very right. Do you have any questions? β
Qiao Xuenian immediately pointed to the girl at the same table and said, "It's her who has a problem, her name is Sang Xiu'er." β
The girl at the same table immediately changed her face, lowered her head and hid behind the people in the front row, puffed out her cheeks, and glared at Qiao Xuenian viciously. Qiao Xuenian was taken aback and thought: When did I offend her?
Zhou Qingfeng was on the stage, "This classmate Sang, do you have a question to stand up and ask?" Be bold, I'm not a man-eating tiger. β
There was laughter in the classroom, and Sang Xiuer was forced to stand up with her head down, but she didn't say a word. Zhou Qingfeng waited for a long time, but he didn't want to let go of this publicity opportunity easily. He took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Sang-san, do you have a mother?" β
"Yes." Sang Xiu'er was startled and said weakly. She secretly wondered: Did she do something wrong and implicate her family?
But Zhou Qingfeng on the stage continued to laugh: "I also have a mother, and hundreds of people inside and outside this classroom have mothers. Our mothers are all women, because men can't have children. β
Ah....., another laugh.
"I know why you don't dare open your mouth to ask, and I know you're scared. But let me tell you, being a woman is not inferior to a man. Because all people in this world are born of women, what qualifications do we have to discriminate against women? If a woman is lowly, then aren't we who are born by a woman even more humble?
I have said many times that men and women are equal. Women should also have the same power as men.
I know that the Ming Dynasty had a lot of heavy oppression on women, and even had a lot of vices that specifically targeted women. For example, drowning a baby girl, such as forcing a woman to bind her little feet, such as locking a woman in the house and not showing her head. It is natural for many things to happen to men, and it is a great sin to happen to women, and these are not right.
I believe that only a hero's mother can give birth to a hero's children. I know that you will be resistant to what I say, and even the women themselves will feel that what I said is wrong. But I only have one word for this - the person who wants to challenge me must be able to beat me.
Under my rule, you must obey my ideas, my rules, my laws. Whether you understand it or not, it must be carried out. Because I know that you don't understand it today, but you will understand it in the future. What you can't understand in this life, your next generation will certainly understand. β
Zhou Qingfeng's words were majestic and awe-inspiring. Everyone who listened to him felt numb and goosebumps. This is even more shocking than just introducing a little bit of geographical knowledge, it is simply deviant and earth-shaking.
"Alright, that's it for today's class, disband." Zhou Qingfeng packed up the handouts, nodded slightly to everyone and left. Compared with the excitement of geography class, his last sentence is quiet.
After class, everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers. Qiao Xuenian looked at the girl at the same table, this time he wanted to say a few words to the other party. But Sang Xiu'er didn't look at him, and stepped on him hatefully, and finally walked to the door of the classroom with his head drooped, and shouted 'Dad' to a middle-aged man with his head down.
The middle-aged man also had an angry face, and he whispered 'go home' and took the girl away. Qiao Xuenian followed from behind, but the scattered crowd quickly overwhelmed the father and daughter, and he didn't know where the other party had gone, so he could only recite a name 'Sang Xiu'er' in his heart.
Sang Xiu'er followed her father out of school and returned to a nice mansion with a torch on the street. knocked on the door and entered the house, and a middle-aged woman greeted her and said, "Yo ......, your father and daughter are out of class." What did the owner teach tonight? β
The middle-aged man snorted and walked into the courtyard of Erjin with his hands behind his back. The middle-aged woman hurriedly pulled Sang Xiu'er over and asked, "What's wrong with your father?" As soon as you get home, show me a look, have you caused trouble? β
Sang Xiu'er had a bitter face, and she didn't know where to start. Several children in the family heard that the movement was wrong, and hurriedly came out of their respective houses, only to see their father standing in the yard sulking. Among the sons, the eldest saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly kicked the eldest with his foot. The old man immediately understood, stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" β
Seeing that the children were staring at him, the middle-aged man snorted coldly again: "I'll just say it, our Sang family shouldn't mess with that surnamed Zhou." He killed the patriarch of our Sangjia Village, and you are breaking up the family, and now you are going to teach my daughter badly. This person is a great rebel, and sooner or later he will cause trouble. β
As soon as they heard the words arranged by their father, several children all showed an expression of 'playing the same old tune and not bothering to pay attention to it'. The old man waved his hand directly and said, "Hey......, do you think it's a big deal?" I still have to go to review my homework, and I have to take a small test in a few days, and if I don't do well, I will be scolded. β
The eldest son was also lazy and said, "I've been working all day, and I'm tired." Mom, you talk to Dad. I've got to go to sleep. The other three sons made excuses and left in the blink of an eye.
When the middle-aged man saw that his sons didn't take him seriously, he scolded angrily: "Look, look, this is being taught badly." I can't manage my sons, and now my daughters can't take care of it. The surname Zhou is nonsense, what is equal, this is to make me rebel. Since ancient times, this has been in order, and women should talk about 'three obedience and four virtues', how can there be so much power? β
The middle-aged popular voice boss, his wife pulled on the side and said: "Sang Youshen, you are enough!" I don't like to hear what you say, you are a carpenter, what do you know about 'three obedience and four virtues'? There's a kind of you reciting it to me. β
"Three from is ......." The mulberry carpenter really couldn't recite it, and stammered: "The ancients said the truth, how can there be a mistake? β
"The ancients gave you food, and the ancients gave you clothes to wear?" The carpenter's wife crossed her hands on her waist and shouted without showing weakness: "You talk a lot of nonsense, and you forget who you are after a few days of eating." Our family used to be a mud leg for farming, and it was up to the owner to eat when we were able to enter the city. You say this behind your back, is your conscience okay? β
was reprimanded by his wife for a few words, and the mulberry carpenter was suddenly dumbfounded. His wife turned back to her daughter and asked, "What the hell is going on?" What kind of fool is your father? β
Sang Xiu'er's speech skills are not good enough, and there is no way to completely restore what Zhou Qingfeng said. However, with the support of the old lady, she was a little more courageous, and she used a sentence she mastered when she studied on weekdays to summarize Zhou Qingfeng's meaning simply and clearly. "The host gave us a lesson and told us a lot of interesting things. In the end, he also said, 'Women can hold up half the sky,' and my father was not happy to hear this. β
The carpenter's wife was overjoyed, and praised with a smile: "Look, the owner can talk a lot." In order to bring up a few of you from a young age, isn't our mother holding up half the sky for you? Otherwise, how could there be so many children with your father's surname Sang? He always likes to be angry, and he really has no conscience. Xiu'er will sleep with me tonight, and let your father sleep on the cold kang. β
The courtyard was soon cleared, and the mulberry carpenter was completely speechless. He originally came back in a puff, thinking that he was very reasonable, but when he got home, he was angry. Watching his wife take his little daughter back to the house and bolt the door, he stood alone in the yard in a daze. After a while, he went to wash his feet in frustration, brought a washboard, and knocked on the door of the master bedroom with his hand.
Waiting for the next day, Sang Xiuer got up early in the morning and made breakfast for the whole family with other female relatives in the family. Now the family has a lot of money and food, and it has been changed to three meals a day. For this, her third brother soon married a daughter-in-law. Her third sister-in-law found out that the Sang family was able to eat white rice and white noodles at once, and the light that burst out of her eyes was terrifying.
Steamed buns in the morning, the whole family eats happily. There is a lot of wheat grown in the north, but the wheat is not delicious at all when it is steamed directly, and it is considered coarse grain. But as long as the wheat is ground into flour and there is an additional fermentation process to make pasta, it is a good refined grain, nutritious and easy to digest, which is much stronger than wheat rice.
In the past, it was very inefficient to grind flour with human and animal power. Sang Xiu'er recently heard from her father that their carpenter team and blacksmith team worked together to tackle key problems, and completed the imitation of the hydraulic mill in the month after the owner left. The use of the Hunhe River outside Fushun City to grind noodles has increased the efficiency of grinding noodles dozens of times.
This is the only major project that was completed as planned during the owner's departure from Fushun that was not affected. Zhou Qingfeng was overjoyed when he came back to learn about this, and praised the carpenter group and the blacksmith group for their enthusiasm for labor. More than a dozen craftsmen, including the mulberry carpenter, received the incentive allowance issued by the owner on the same day, and the file was recorded as an 'important engineering and technical personnel'.
With such a title, the monthly salary of the mulberry carpenter is directly doubled. The number of people who are jealous behind their backs is uncountable, and it has become an example to follow - everyone confirms that the owner is really good to the craftsmen.
Sang Xiuer had breakfast, took her schoolbag and went out to school with her sister. She is now a student in the junior class of the school, does not have to do any work, and is forced to study. Because of his good academic performance, he was specially allowed to go to last week's Qingfeng's 'activist' class.
As soon as she left the house, Sang Xiuer saw a team of men from the volunteer labor group walking in front of her with shovels. One of them, a skinny young man, looked at her and looked at her, and waved her nameβwasn't that the fool who had disgraced himself last night? Sang Xiu'er lowered her head and ran away in a hurry.
The team behind them burst into laughter. Sang Xiu'er turned her head to look again, and the fool was very embarrassed standing in place, and it was quite sympathetic.
