Chapter 14 Literacy

Unexpectedly got the opportunity to learn to read and write, thinking that she would soon have the ability to read and write, and learn about the world by reading books, Bai Mingxuan's heart was excited.

The rest of the Bai family has nothing to envy, in Bai Minglan's opinion, they are not readers, what is the use of learning to read, and it is a waste of time to not make money. It is better to raise a few more chickens and ducks, learn more embroidery skills, not only to support the family, but also to subsidize the family.

Therefore, no one is envious of Bai Mingxuan following Bai Mingcheng to learn to read and write, but she only thinks that it is a good thing that she can learn more medical skills from Dr. Wang in the future.

The next afternoon.

After finishing a day's farm work and housework, thinking of the things to be done, Bai Mingxuan's cheeks were red with excitement, her eyes were shining, and she immediately ran to Bai Mingcheng's side and asked, "Brother, can I learn to read and write?" ”

When Bai Mingcheng saw her excited face, he suddenly felt that it was an eyesore, and he thought, I, Bai Mingcheng, want to show you my ability today. Secretly decided to make it more difficult for her to study.

He beckoned her to sit down, handed over a wooden stick, and said, "You have just started to learn to read, and there is no paper, so I will write it to you on the ground." ”

The ground in front of the Bai family's house is all dirt, although it has been trampled flat, it can still be easily marked with a stick, and it is now suitable to teach Bai Mingxuan to read and write.

"I'll write it all over again."

After speaking, he immediately held the stick and wrote the word "white" on the ground unhurriedly and slowly, "Look, this is the 'white' character of our Bai family, learn your name first." Okay, now you write one for me to see. ”

He threw the stick aside, patted the soil off his hand, turned his head to stare at Bai Mingxuan, and thought proudly in his heart, when he first learned to read and write, the master taught each word one by one, teaching each word three times, even so, sometimes there are still mistakes in writing, let alone you? If you can't write it, don't cry and complain, you won't be soft-hearted when the time comes.

Bai Mingxuan laughed secretly in her heart, little brat, do you think I don't know that you are deliberately embarrassing me? After looking at it twice, he picked up a stick and wrote it down, and it was written in a few strokes. In order to appear that he is a beginner, he deliberately writes crookedly.

When Bai Mingcheng saw it, he was surprised in his heart, and felt that this was because of the simplicity of the word "white". On his face, he nodded very calmly and said, "It's written correctly, but this character is not written properly enough, and it needs to be practiced more." ”

"Well, I understand" Bai Mingxuan nodded, with a modest and well-behaved look on her face, and lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll teach you how to write the word 'Ming'."

Bai Mingcheng said, and wrote down the word "Ming" stroke by stroke on the side, explaining while writing, "The sun and the moon are bright, bright, and bright." ”

Then he threw away the "pen" and watched how Bai Mingxuan wrote.

Bai Mingxuan lowered her head, trying to make a focused appearance, first stared at the words for a moment, then picked up the stick, and slowly drew strokes on the ground, and then a scattered structure of the word "Ming" appeared next to it.

It's not pretty, but it's written correctly. actually learned it after teaching it once, Bai Mingcheng was surprised by his sister's cleverness, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"Wow, my sister is amazing! I can write! Bai Mingwei saw her brothers and sisters getting together, and she also came over to join in the fun.

"Quiet! Don't speak. Bai Mingcheng was annoyed, frowning and shouting when he saw this.

Bai Mingwei was startled, immediately closed her mouth, squatted aside, didn't dare to make any more noise, and only looked at it with her two big eyes open.

Bai Mingxuan pursed her lips and said secretly, this cheap brother's temper is really bad. I silently made a note in my heart.

"Well, that's the right word." Bai Mingcheng pursed his lips, "I'll write another 'Xuan' word." There are a lot of strokes in this word, you have to look at it. ”

After speaking, he wrote the word "Xuan" in three or two clicks, written behind the first two words, which just formed the name "Bai Mingxuan".

"Xuan is the meaning of daylily, it is rumored that eating can make people forget their worries, and daylily refers to the mother. It's a word, you have to remember. After speaking, he expected that Bai Mingxuan would not be able to write it immediately, so he took out the book and read it, but his eyes involuntarily tilted over.

Bai Mingxuan nodded seriously, this Xuan character has a lot more strokes than the previous two characters, and the structure is more complicated, but the traditional and simplified characters of these three characters are the same, and they are not difficult to write.

But she decided to pretend to be stumped, frowned, stared at the word and looked at it, and then began to write slowly.

Bai Mingwei pinched a dog's tail grass in her hand, looked at her brother, and then at her sister, and saw that both of them were focused on what was in front of her and didn't speak, so she felt bored, jumped up and ran away.

At this time, Bai Mingxuan scribbled and changed before writing the word "Xuan", and then pretended to finally write it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Bai Mingcheng saw it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this is what a beginner should look like, it must have been a coincidence before, so he regained his confidence.

Then he poked his head over, pretended to look at the words written by Bai Mingxuan on the ground, picked a few "poor glyphs" and "wrong strokes", and announced the end of today's teaching.

After today's smooth teaching, Bai Mingxuan was in a happy mood, as if she saw the door of this world slowly opening to her.

Dinner was the familiar sweet potato and multigrain porridge, and although Bai Mingxuan was very hungry now, the sweet potato could no longer arouse her appetite.

After eating sweet potatoes for nearly a month, no one can love it anymore, and the sweet potato method is single, only the method of steaming sweet potatoes is not only monotonous, but also flatulent after eating too much.

Thinking of the embarrassment of farting, Bai Mingxuan decided that she must find a way to improve the food at home in the future, not to mention how good she should eat, at least she can't be so monotonous anymore.

If this continues, not only will her mouth be unbearable, but her nutrition will also be affected, Bai Mingxuan doesn't want to grow into a short man because of malnutrition.

Swallowing the rough multigrain porridge in his mouth, looking around, and seeing that everyone's faces were slightly sallow due to fatigue and malnutrition, Bai Mingxuan's heart was sour, and he must find a way to enrich the Bai family's diet!

......

The white horse passed through the gap, and time was like quicksand, as if the days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Bai Mingxuan lived a regular life in Peach Blossom Village, slowly adapting to it and gradually integrating into it.

I usually go out to work with my sister, and I go to Dr. Wang every other day. Sometimes when I can see Chunhua, we work together, and sometimes when I meet Liqiu, Bai Mingxuan tries to be careful with her words, but she doesn't get anything.

When the north wind blows the earth, as if overnight, the sun will dissipate its warmth, and the pines and cypresses in the mountains will also quietly cover a layer of white veil. Before you know it, Peach Blossom Village has entered winter.

The villagers have taken off their single clothes and put on jackets, and there are fewer and fewer people in the fields.

Time is the fairest, and there is no distinction between rich and poor in the world.

Approaching the lunar month, everyone is preparing for the New Year. And the long-awaited market for the children of the Bai family is also coming.
