The ox cart swayed, the people on the car talked and laughed, and unconsciously, Zhoujiazhen arrived. got off the ox cart at the entrance of the town, said goodbye to the villagers, and the four sisters and brothers walked hand in hand to the town.

There is a school in the town, called Scholarly Academy. An Yin and An Bao of the three families of An Lao studied in this college. However, An Yin stopped reading now, because he had been studying for more than two years, and he had not learned anything, and he either fought or slept in the school all day long, which made the master angry enough, and was finally driven back. Although An Bao is also stupid, he is much better than his brother An Yin, at least he never fights, and he knows a lot of words. This is also where Zhang Cuihua is proud. Every time in the village, she would brag a few words, saying that her family An Bao was the one who wanted to take the top prize. provoked the people in the village to laugh at her behind her back.

Zhao Mingyi, the grandson of the village chief's family, also studied in this school. And he reads very well, fifteen-year-old Zhao Mingyi is now a child. I still remember that when Zhao Mingyi was admitted to middle school, Jing Jing took Jiaming to send a set of four treasures of the study room as a congratulatory gift, and choked the old village chief.

There are too few people in the village who can afford to go to school, and some people will not let their children do so, even if they can. The people in the mountain village are honest but ignorant. I always feel that studying is too expensive and delays work, so it is better to learn to farm, so that I can support my family and live, and I can marry a daughter-in-law with the money I save. In the eyes of the villagers, being able to eat well, dress warmly, have money in their hands, be able to marry a daughter-in-law, and give birth to a son, such a day is called a good day.

Quiet is a highly educated person, and she knows the importance of knowledge. Reading makes people wise and wise, and it also broadens people's horizons. Although he disagrees with the view that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", Jing Jing believes in such a sentence "knowledge changes fate".

Jiaming is happy to be able to read. He was thrilled to be able to come to the school in town. He knew that Brother Mingyi of the village chief's family was studying in this school, and he also knew that An Bao was also here. It's just that An Bao's books are not as good as Mingyi's brother. When he was in the old mansion, An Yin and An Bao came to study in the town, and he was very envious. At that time, my father was still there, and he promised him that he would send him to study when he was eight years old. It's just a pity that his father was no longer there when he was eight years old. He thought that he would have no chance with the academy in his life, but he didn't expect that his eldest sister would realize his dream for him.

When they arrived in the town, the four sisters and brothers came directly to the school. The academy is not big, there are only two classes, each class has about 20 children, the youngest is five or six years old to the oldest is twenty-five or sixteen years old, which can be described as a large age gap.

Master Zhou in the academy is a serious person. After taking Jiaming's homework, he was taken to the big class. In the past six months, he has quietly handed over Jiaming's three-character scripture with a hundred family names and a thousand words, and Jiaming can memorize these three books backwards, and the words in Jiaming can also be written, and he has also understood the meaning of what he said. Although Quiet spoils his younger siblings, when it comes to Jiaming's study, Quiet is also quite strict. The knowledge learned in heaven must be memorized and written down silently, that is, even their meaning must be understood and firmly remembered. Jiaming knows that the opportunity to study is not easy to come by, and he is also quite hard-working. The results of hard work day after day, perseverance, and exchange are also gratifying.

The three-character classic, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character text, these are the knowledge learned in small classes. The main class is to learn the Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, the Zuo Chuan, the Analects, and the five books of Mencius. Jiaming has only studied Mencius and the Analects now, and he only reads these two books. The rest of the books, he still hasn't had time to learn. However, this also surprised Zhou Fuzi for a while. I heard that Jiaming had only read for half a year, and he praised him again and again, and said that if Jiaming continued to work hard, he would definitely make a difference in the future.

For Master Zhou's praise, Jiaming was not proud, he claimed that he had a lot to learn. Jiaming's humble attitude made Master Zhou nod again and again, and also made Master Zhou boast of being quiet and raising his younger brother well. His younger brother was able to receive the praise of his master, and he was a little proud in his quiet heart.

The college has one day off for every five days of school. During this period, the students lived in the academy, arranged Jiaming's accommodation and food, and told him a few words, and the three quiet sisters walked out of the academy hand in hand.

Looking back at the academy behind her, she could still hear the sound of reading inside, Jiayue's mood was a little low, she tilted her head, her eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. "Eldest sister, why don't you accept girls in the academy? I also want to study with my brother. ”

Jiayue and Jiaming are twins, and they have never been separated since they were children, which made Jiayue feel lonely and quietly took her little hand, touched her head, and said to him softly: "Because this world is unfair to women, they don't let women go to the school to read and write, and in turn laugh at women for being ignorant and short-sighted." Don't you know that if a woman reads, she can still be an official in the scientific examination, and she is no worse than a man? Since ancient times, how many literati and scholars have been women. Whether this man is wise or not, where is there a distinction between men and women? It's just an excuse for men to be arrogant. And women are often weak and weak, bound by the rules set by men for thousands of years, and do not know how to resist and fight, so they can only live dependent on men. Therefore, the men are even more unsightly, they never take into account the feelings of their wives, three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right. And the women don't have their own opinions and skills, so they have to live in silence. So, Jiayue, Xin'er, as women, we must love and respect ourselves, be assertive, insightful, have skills, and have the ability to settle down. In this way, no matter when and where, no one will be looked down upon. No matter what kind of situation you face, you have confidence. Quiet took the opportunity to educate her two younger sisters. Maybe others will think that her words are too shocking and contrary to common sense. But Quiet has her own plans, she doesn't want her two sisters to become like other women who depend on men and live like them. She wants to train her sisters to be independent, self-reliant, and confident women.

"Don't worry, big sister. I won't point to men to eat like the women in the village, I will rely on my hands to earn money to support myself, just like the eldest sister, more powerful than men. An Xin said excitedly, looking at the quiet eyes with starry eyes.

Seeing the second sister say this, Jia Yue also nodded vigorously: "Hmm! When I grow up, I will become as good as my eldest sister! I don't eat men's food, but eat my own. ”

The little guy's words made the two sisters laugh back and forth. I finally stopped laughing, and quietly looked up at the sky, it was already noon. With a wave of his hand, he said to the two younger sisters, "Let's go, the eldest sister will take you to eat noodles." He took his two younger sisters by the hand and walked to the noodle restaurant.

The three sisters ate water noodles at the noodle restaurant, and then set off towards the bull market. She came to town today with two important things to do. The first thing is to send Jiaming to the school, and the second thing is that she wants to ...... Buy a bullock cart!
