Chapter 40: Morning Reading

Although the status of women is unprecedentedly high, in the isolated and backward remote villages, some old systems are still unwritten rules.

At least the daughter who gets married either marries far away and returns to her relatives, or is sent back by her in-laws, otherwise she generally will not spend the night at her mother's house.

In the first two years of Liu's marriage, she was worried that her widowed mother and younger brother would return to Liu's house for a few days in ten and a half months, so that after so many years, she still couldn't help but swallow her anger in Liu's family.

Now that her younger brother has grown up and is enough to start a family, she can't say that she can go back to her parents' house to live at every turn.

Therefore, in the evening of this afternoon, the Liu family sent a pair of children to the Liu family, and was busy making a pot of dumplings with noodles, so he and her husband Liu Qianli drove the ox cart and left overnight.

It is estimated that after being a child for five years, his heart has been affected a little, looking at Ye Niang who disappeared in the vast night, Liu Chenxing suddenly had a feeling that he was sent to read in his previous life. However, in her previous life, her parents didn't want her to be a drag bottle after they divorced, so they sent her to school for accommodation, and this life is completely different.

Liu Chenxing is also full of expectations for his life in the Liu family.

But if you want to say that the happiest is Grandma Liu.

Probably loves the house and Wu, and there is also the reason that the Liu family has been the only daughter for ten years, and Grandma Liu is relatively more partial to her daughter. Knowing that the little granddaughter is a clean-loving person, today I saw the little granddaughter running around for a day, the yellow sand was rolling, and she was covered in dust.

Grandma Liu didn't dislike Fei Firewood, boiled water and washed her little granddaughter from head to toe, and then changed into clean clothes, and then took her little grandson back to the room to sleep together, and the eldest grandson naturally let her son take her son to sleep.

Liu Chenxing didn't expect that on the first day she came, she would be able to take a hot bath, and even wash her hair together, she really liked Grandma Liu so much.

No wonder she was excited, when she came to ancient times, she realized that even taking a bath was a luxury.

First, it is very inconvenient to take a bath, and secondly, it costs firewood.

At this time, people who are particular about it only wash once every ten days.

If someone washes once every ten days and a half in the village, he will make people gossip.

In my previous life, my hair was so oily that I couldn't see people if I didn't wash it for three days, and now I don't know that if I eat less meat and greasy, and the air is fresh and less polluted, my hair won't see oil until five or six days, but I can't take a bath for ten days and a half months and it's still extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Liu's own love for cleanliness has always been clean, and he often picks up the firewood left over from daily cooking, and after about 20 days, he boils water in the middle of the night and quietly scrubs it in the room.

She has little hair and doesn't use much water, so she can wash herself every other half a month.

But in this way, although Grandma Liu did not find that there was less firewood in the stove room, the next day she saw that their mother and daughter's hair was less greasy, and she still had to find a word to train her.

Being able to take a shower happily today is really no less than an unexpected surprise, Liu Chenxing even feels that he has to lose a pound and a half taels.

and Grandma Liu knew that their brother and sister were coming to live, so she washed the bedding early.

It's spring and summer when the sun is shining again, and the futon is held in the sun for two days, and it seems that there is still a warm smell of sunlight when you sleep on it.

Liu Chenxing didn't have the habit of thinking about bed at all, and slept very sweetly on Grandma Liu's couch.

In a daze, he felt the usual time to get up, but the quilt was too comfortable, and he didn't have to worry about getting up late and running out of food in the Liu family, so Liu Chenxing let his consciousness sink again.

I don't know how long I slept back to the cage, but there was a sudden chill on her warm cheeks, and she suddenly woke up with a spirit.

"Liu Qingshan!" Thinking that it was Brother Ao who was playing a prank on himself, he opened his eyes and saw Uncle Liu in a white robe standing in front of the couch.

Liu Chenxing is also a bully and afraid of the hard, and when she got up, she sat up and complained: "Uncle, what is this doing." ”

Liu Wensu didn't finish speaking, and glanced at the nephew beside him.

Liu Qingshan wanted to sigh for their brother and sister, but when he saw the eyes of his uncle, he immediately said: "Uncle said that the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the memory in the morning is the best, so I will get up to read at the end of the day in the future." ”

Mao Shi ......

Don't you just have to get up at 6 a.m.!?

Liu Chenxing's eyes widened, she was really completely awake now, she looked at Liu Wensu busily, and fought for herself: "Uncle, I don't need the imperial examination, will it be too early to get up?" ”

Ignoring the desire in the eyes of the little niece, Liu Wensu said seriously: "Although you don't need to take the imperial examination, I have said that you should treat everyone equally, naturally you can't favor one over the other, connivance is not responsible for you, get up and read in the morning now." ”

Liu Chenxing wanted to say loudly that although he was not responsible for me, he finally succumbed to Uncle Liu's obscenity, raised his little arms and legs and got up.

Although it was still the beginning of the morning, it was less than seven o'clock in the morning in modern times, but the sky was already bright, and a line of red glow could be vaguely seen in the distant sky.

After all, it is still dawn, especially in the sparsely populated countryside, and the weather is still a little cool.

Grandma Liu was as careful as Liu's, and took advantage of the residual temperature of the stove for cooking, and warmed a pot of hot water for her little granddaughter to wash.

In the stove room, Grandma Liu was still preparing for the morning meal, Liu Chenxing had already washed himself, combed a small bud on the left and right sides, and stood in the courtyard with his brother, waiting for Liu Wensu's examination.

Mornings are indeed a good time to read.

At that time, it was similar to the morning self-study in junior high school and high school in my previous life, and I didn't use morning food, so I wouldn't be sleepy because of satiety. Just freshened up, in just the right state, breathing in the fresh air unique to the early morning, Liu Chenxing only felt extremely energetic, and his mind was extremely clear.

Liu Wensu looked at her little niece who had cleaned herself up and was not surprised.

It seems that the daughter of the senior brother's family is half a year older, but she often listens to the senior brother nagging the sister-in-law's wife to be busy with housework, not only to prepare the family for dinner in the morning, but also to groom the daughter.

But how can the little niece already be able to pry herself?

Doubts flashed, Liu Wensu only thought that his niece was smart, so he was surprised, and asked with his hand: "Ah Xing, do you still remember the content of the "Thousand Character Text" that taught you last time?" ”

Liu Chenxing said without thinking: "Remember! ”

The voice is decisive and crisp, and it is extraordinarily pleasant.

Liu Wensu smiled when he heard this, leaned over and said closely: "Ah Xing, bragging is punishable." ”

When my nephew was four or five years old, he was enlightened by his eldest sister, and when he had a certain foundation, he studied with him three years ago.

Although I can teach up to three days a month, sometimes I can't take a vacation to save my family, that is, I can't teach even one day in a month.

But in the end, more than three years, he still knows how much his nephew has learned. Enlightenment textbooks like "Thousand Words", my nephew has already memorized them well.

As for his niece, he does not deny that she is a little precocious. I also heard the eldest sister say that since last year, when her niece herded cattle with her nephew, she would follow her nephew to recite a few lines of poetry or recognize a few words. Even when she was teaching her niece, her niece would follow along with a decent sound.

However, I only taught "Thousand Character Text" once or twice a few months ago, how could my niece remember?

Some habits must be corrected from an early age, and I don't want my little niece to grow into a good and happy character, Liu Wensu thought about it, straightened up, and said seriously: "If there is a mistake in the back, I will not spare it." ”

"Uncle, she has already memorized "Thousand Words"!" Liu Qingshan was still waiting for the morning meal to finish reading earlier, and seeing that his uncle was still inducing, he couldn't hold back, so he opened his mouth to confirm.
