Chapter 31 Family and Village
Zhang Guangming heard that there are many parents in the village, and as long as their children make a mistake, they will either beat or scold.
It didn't play a role, but it made the child have a strong rebellious mentality.
So he thinks he has to take the time to visit the homes of those bad children who "only know how to play, but don't study seriously", and persuade the parents of the children to use the correct heuristic education method!
In order to explore the potential of his children and expand the knowledge of his daughters, Zhang Guangming asked them: "Tell your parents how many birds and animals you see when you go to the village to gather wild grass on weekdays?
Can you name them?
How many species of birds and animals do you know?
How many species of weeds do you know?
How many varieties of flowers and trees do you know?
Do you know much about their growing process?
Do you know how they change over the course of the seasons?
The three sisters scrambled to answer:
"I've seen crows, magpies, sparrows, ......"
"I've seen snakes, rabbits, voles, ......"
"I know dog tail grass, rabbit ears, pig hair cabbage......"
The three sisters counted the names of many kinds of flowers and trees.
But the three of them could not answer the question of how they grew and how they changed over the seasons.
Zhang Guangming said, "What about these questions I raised?
What you don't know must be carefully observed from tomorrow, and what you observe?
Write a diary a few times a day, and by a year's time, you'll have figured out everything......"
"Okay!" The three agreed at the same time.
"Dad, what should I do if I don't know how to keep a diary?" The third daughter, Wen Jun, said embarrassedly.
"Then you can tell your parents what you see every day." Father said.
Zhang Guangming thought: This is the best opportunity for children who can't write, vocabulary and sentences, and it is also an opportunity to practice children's language organization skills.
"Everyone went to the study and flipped through the first book I wrote, "The Relationship between Plants and Animals in Nature", and then went to the field to verify it with practical formulas, okay?
The three daughters said yes, and scrambled into the inner room, reading their father's book with great interest.
Zhang Guangming returned to the master bedroom and began to write the book "Chinese Poetry".
Li Yue'e put her little daughter to sleep, and continued to process clothes for others.
The children see that their mother not only has to work in the production team every day, but also has to process the work clothes of the workers in the hardware factory in the provincial capital when they go home, and also have to process clothes for the people in the village, and take care of their father and little sister.
So everyone has to be more diligent than usual.
See, they all consciously do the work at home and outside the home.
Wen Ya also took her two younger sisters to the fields outside the village every day to gather weeds, collect firewood, and collect medicinal herbs.
Each of them is particularly good at observing the changes of flowers, birds, insects, fish, plants and animals in different seasons, as well as the growth process.
Many parents in the village often use the method of beating, scolding and scolding to educate their children, which will make the children rebellious and backfire.
Zhang Guangming went to tell the bad children in the village who didn't like to study: You should read more books, read good books, books are treasures, and it will tell you a lot of knowledge without words.
Nature is the key to wisdom that God has given you.
You have to put this key in your mind, so what?
Your horizons will become wider and richer, and you will become wise.
Zhang Guangming uses this method of enlightening wisdom to educate the children in his own house and village.
His daughters are like green bamboos bathed in the spring sun, growing up vigorously towards the dream of optimism, can the four sisters not be outstanding in the future?
Now that Zhang Zhishu's illness has recovered, he feels that he has endless energy, and he has returned to his vigorous appearance.
He must lead the masses to act in accordance with the original plan -- to grasp the sideline industry in the east, grain in the west, fishery and cotton in the south, and vegetables, fruits, and melons in the north.
In this cave to the east, Zhang Zhishu and his father's apprentices gradually became proficient in making bamboo carvings, gourd carvings, maple leaf and ginkgo leaf carvings and other artworks.
He always instructed the villagers on how to make fine works.
Zhang Guangming said to the carved villagers: "Some carvings need to be carved a little deeper, while others need to be embossed, so that they will appear layered, make people look realistic, and have a strong sense of art, only in this way can there be a market!" ”
Under the careful guidance of Zhang Zhishu, the carving craftsmen of Muyehua Village have mastered the essentials of carving.
Under the careful guidance of Zhang Maoyuan, Zhang Zhishu's father, the villagers who compiled the processed products were also able to skillfully weave beautiful, sturdy and difficult to use baskets, baskets, baskets, tables, chairs and benches......
What about these? Some can be used as a tool for flood relief, while others can be used as a household tool.
Zhang Guangming published these exquisite handicrafts and practical items in the newspaper for sale, and after they were put on the market, they were widely favored by buyers.
Now, not only the troops are coming to buy it, but also the managers of department stores in some big cities are also coming to Makino Flower Village to buy it.
The cadres and masses of Muyehua Village were so happy in their hearts.
On this day, Zhang Zhishu and the villagers went to the field to the west of the village and pulled the previously fermented dung.
He and the others took the fork and scattered it evenly, evenly spreading a layer of black dung on the ground.
He thought to himself: I don't have money to buy fertilizer now, and this manure will make the autumn crops grow strong.
After he finished spreading dung, he commanded the various squads to seize the time to plow.
On this day, Zhang Guangming led the team members to drive a horse as black as ink and a horse as white as snow to the experimental base to plow the ground.
He held the plow in one hand, and waved the whip in the other.
When the two horses pulled the plow, and when the plough was for most of the day, the horses seemed to be extremely tired, and stopped panting, no matter how Zhang Guangming shouted, the two horses just stood still.
The horses were too tired, so Zhang Guangming asked them to rest.
When Zhang Guangming went to the toilet, he looked up at the white clouds floating in the air, and then looked around, the warblers singing and dancing in the green peach forest.
Look at the "big handfuls" of each block waving the whip, the horses and cows bowing their heads, pouting their buttocks, and pulling the plough vigorously, which is more like a beautiful picture.
He came back from the toilet and looked at the two black horses and said, "Guys, let's go!" He only heard a "snap" and he flicked it, like a cannon.
The two horses stretched their necks again, the hair on their backs stood up, every inch of their skin was taut, and the two hind legs pushed the old man backwards, and the two front legs hung forward to walk forward.
Gui Xiaobao said to Zhang Guangming: Zhang Zhishu, look at this day, this bird, this forest, this horse, this person, why don't you make a poem?
When everyone works with you, they are used to listening to you or chanting poems, or giving words, or speaking smoothly.
If you don't hear what you say, you don't feel like you're having fun doing farm work.
After Zhang Guangming heard his words, he said loudly: Listen, man:
Summer Ploughing
There was a roar of the whip, and the horse arched violently.
The ploughshare is busy on the ground, just like a wave.
The pests escaped, and the silkworms were terrified.
The sparrows are fast, and the warblers and swallows sing praises!
Everyone shouted, "Good! ”
Sun Youfu smiled and said loudly to Zhang Zhishu: "You really work hard and can't leave poetry!"
You always put the boring farm work and said it is poetic and intriguing! ”
Zhang Guangming said to Director Sun, who was plowing the land: "Director Sun, you have to plow every inch of land, and you can't leave hard ground." ”
Sun Youfu snapped his whip and said, "Okay, don't worry!" ”
Zhang Guangming laughed and said, "I still have to go to various plots to check the ploughing situation of each team,"
He saw that with the sharp ploughshare, the clods of earth turned over, as if they were round, white smoke billowing from the caps of the pots; It's like the waves in the Black Sea!
When raking the ground, he explained to the "big handful" every time he arrived at a piece of land: "You must harrow horizontally and vertically, cross rake, and rake in circles, and rake so soft that there are no lumps!" ”
Each of the "big guys" said the same thing: "Okay! ”
What about spring corn?
Zhang Zhishu did not let it mature.
One day, he saw the pickers come to the village, roaming the streets and alleys shouting and selling rice balls.
He saw that whenever the man stopped, the children would flock to buy it.
Zhang Guangming was deeply inspired, so he thought: "Why don't I dry the tender corn, first use a special small boiler to burst corn into corn, then boil it into syrup with white sugar, mix popcorn and syrup and honey, add a little peanut oil to stir it into a flatbread, and finally pour it into molds of various shapes, let it dry for a while, and then form a circle, or square, or triangle...... Isn't it true that processed corn products of various shapes are very popular with children?
It's going to taste good.
He went to the captain Zhang Guangcai to discuss the matter.
Captain Zhang expressed his support.
Zhang Guangming went to buy a small boiler specializing in popcorn to dry the corn of the production team.
After several experiments, the processed corn is quite delicious and comes in a variety of shapes, which is indeed very popular with children.
Zhang Guangming processed the popcorn into several crispy and delicious flavors, including salty, sweet, and spiced flavors......
Zhang Zhishu and the members of the club put popcorn of various flavors and shapes into white cloth bags, which were sewn from the leftovers of Li Yue'e's work clothes for the hospital.
In order to keep it warm, Zhang Guangming first put it into wooden barrels with lids, and wrapped tightly around the barrels with plastic bags.
He and Zhang Guangcai were about to use a horse-drawn cart to pull them to the vegetable market in the city, and when they wanted to go to test the market to see what the effect was, they were stopped by the cadres of the brigade and prevented the two of them from going.
They persuaded you two to do this, "I'm afraid you'll be criticized from above."
And they also said that they might not be able to sell it.
Zhang Guangming had a fearless heroic spirit, and persuaded responsibly: "I'm not afraid, don't be afraid, if something happens, I will bear it alone."
So let's wonder if a new approach misses?
Let the facts tell.
Don't stop you, my third brother and I will pull a car, go to the vegetable market in the county first, and try to sell it! ”
Everyone saw that Zhang Zhishu's attitude was very resolute, so they reluctantly got out of the way.
Zhang Guangming personally and Zhang Guangcai changed shifts to drive the livestock, pulled a cart of popcorn cooked into various flavors and shapes, and went to the vegetable market in the county seat to sell it.
Zhang Guangcai said worriedly: "Now we are not allowed to do small business, how can we sell it?" ”
Zhang Guangming smiled with a bit of mystery and said: Let's go to the vegetable market in the county seat, you just have to watch me.
