Chapter Ninety-Seven: No More Passenger Cars
After getting off work, the Liu family did not delay and confirmed that the work was correct this morning, and went home directly, not paying much attention to the villagers who came forward to inquire about the gossip.
Second Aunt Liu pulled Liu Tianyue to walk the fastest, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she began to look for Zuo Ranjia, "Girl Zuo, hurry up, second aunt will recite it for you and write it silently, otherwise you will forget it later." β
Mother Liu was funny and angry, and deliberately said: "The purpose of our study is to remember, if you forget, isn't it in vain?" You're the last one to come! β
Aunt Liu drooped her head when she heard this, patted her mouth, and secretly scolded herself, telling you to talk quickly.
"Auntie, come first, you have to remember, you will learn a new one later, and you will come back from work in the afternoon to take the test together." Every time I learn a new one, I will recite and dictate the previous ones together, and there are only two words in total, which is not much. Zuo Ranjia smiled and took out a notebook and pen and handed it over.
Aunt Liu hurriedly went to wash her hands first, got soap, and smeared hand cream, before taking the pen and paper with a solemn face, and hesitated for a long time, "Girl Zuo, is my aunt also a cultural person, and she writes on paper with a pen." β
"It's your most inkblot, if you don't write, you won't have anything to eat," Liu Mu said coldly.
Aunt Liu immediately began to write seriously, the six finals were very simple, but she still took two minutes to write it and checked it several times before handing it in with trepidation.
She recited it clearly and clearly.
Zuo Ranjia glanced at her in surprise, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, it's all right, keep it up!" β
Second Aunt Liu exhaled a long breath, her whole body was comfortable, and she grinned and smirked.
The Liu family looked at it with joy, she was the living treasure of the family, but she didn't know it.
The Liu family memorized and wrote silently one by one, and even Liu's father, who was walking the cow, also recited and silently wrote all over the time, and got a bowl of rice with white flowers and fragrant flowers.
Before eating, Liu Mu stood up and coughed lightly and said, "Our family's life is getting better, and you can see that the cellar is full of fine grains." Although the fine grain is earned by the family together, it may not be able to eat into your stomach, it depends on your hard work.
In the past, we didn't have any books at home, and you just knew how to work stupidly like the people in the village. Now the left girl teaches you pinyin, and also provides a dictionary and a dictionary, and in the future, you will also learn it for me.
The ancients all said that they lived to learn from all the time. Can you still have an old man and an old woman, am I old? β
The Liu family shook their heads in unison, no.
"Well, the old woman will talk about our rewards first, including white rice, white flour steamed buns, dried noodles, dried meat, and all kinds of drinks to eat. You can eat it yourself, or keep it for the babies, as long as you can complete the task of memorizing and dictating, you can get the same.
Zuo girl said,When you finish learning pinyin,You'll be able to recognize words by yourself.,How many words you can recognize in a week can get as many rewardsγ Before the girl leaves, you have to learn some simple words.
If you haven't learned, you can only eat mixed noodles, don't blame the old woman for being ruthless. β
Everyone said no.
There are rewards hanging, their enthusiasm for learning is unprecedentedly high, and when they are eating, they urge Zuo Ranjia to teach them the new six pinyin first, so that they can ponder it, maybe when they think of white rice, they will be able to remember it.
Zuo Ranjia has been very comfortable in Liu's house these days, during the day she has to teach the Liu family to learn pinyin, literacy and simple arithmetic, chat with Liu's mother when she has nothing to do, and continue to cook and read books in the space at night.
After decades of discussion and practice, the content of the textbooks in the 21st century has tended to be perfect and scientific, not only in terms of difficulty, but also in terms of knowledge is extremely comprehensive and practical.
Zuo Ranjia learns as an adult and still has more than 60 years of memory, and memorization things such as language, history, geography, and politics almost require a lot of memorization and understanding, which is not difficult. Mathematics, physics and chemistry require strong logical thinking skills, Zuo Ranjia is to learn some new content, so he will do the supporting exercises and test papers ten times, and many things will gradually soften like vermicelli meeting hot water.
Once the foundation is solid, she will not find it difficult to study in the future, and she will be able to cope with all the types of questions that change from the most basic knowledge points. This method is a bit stupid, but it is undoubtedly the most effective.
The Liu family is very energetic in learning, and every day as soon as they open their eyes, they begin to recite from the most basic pinyin, and then try to read phonics, as well as a few simple and commonly used words handed over by Zuo Ranjia.
Although there are a lot of words, there are only a few thousand words that are commonly used, they have lived for half a lifetime, and they understand better than children, so they follow the explanation of Zuo Ranjia's image, and they are not slow to learn. Of course, Zuo Ranjia stayed at Liu's house for a week, and she only needed to ask them to compare the pronunciation and meaning of the words, and lay the foundation for checking the dictionary. As for the memory situation, Liu Mu needs to supervise it.
The work in the field just came to an end, and the three brothers of the Liu family and Du Qiaoyun took two days off with the team, packed several bags of things and rushed to the mountains with Zuo Ranjia.
Every day, there is a bus from the entrance of the village to pass through the foot of the mountain, and the five of them are already waiting on the side of the road at eight o'clock, and it is not until nine o'clock that the mottled bus suddenly comes. There were not many people in the car, so they bought tickets for five cents each, tied their things to the roof of the car, and then found a window seat in the back of the car and sat down.
The car swayed on the dirt road, bumpy and tight, and the car was filled with the smell of burnt gasoline, and the smell of chicken, duck and goose droppings left over from before, mixed with the sour smell of people vomiting, which was called a choking. Zuo Ranjia put on a mask and stuffed it with fresh orange peel, and then comfortably leaned her face to the window to catch her breath.
Seeing that Du Qiaoyun's face was also ugly, she hurriedly handed over the mask wrapped in orange peel.
Du Qiaoyun hurriedly took it, learned from her to face the window together, patted her chest fiercely and panted.
At this time, there are very few cars, especially the buses that pass through the countryside are almost one a day, so there are still quite a lot of people on board. Gradually, there were no empty seats in the carriage, and later people simply put their baggage and bedding on the ground and sat on them, and some sat directly on the roof of the car to blow the cold wind.
The noisy human voices and the sound of vomiting are really not a good experience.
At noon, she and Du Qiaoyun didn't feel hungry at all, and leaned lazily on the chair and didn't want to move. The three men were in good physical condition and did not feel any discomfort, holding the roasted cake with meat filling prepared by Liu's mother and nibbling on it.
The car swayed until three o'clock in the afternoon, and Zuo Ranjia and the others squeezed out of the car, unloaded their bags, looked at the dusty bus, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's here," Du Qiaoyun ignored the presence of juniors and uncles, half leaning on his own man, thinking that he would have to go through it again, his legs were weaker, and his head hurt faintly. "I won't come with me next time."
Zuo Ranjia nodded again and again, "I don't take the bus anymore, it's terrible." β
"It's better than walking," Liu Tianxing said with a smile, looking at the sky, "Let's go, it's dark when you get home." As he spoke, he casually dragged a branch, broke off the fork on it, and handed it to Zuo Ranjia.
As the eldest in a group of people, Liu Tianxing was entrusted with an important task by Liu's mother, and in order to distract the two women and hurry more, he said in a rare way: "This bus has just been opened for three or five years, and we used to walk on a pair of feet when we went to my grandmother's house, and we left the house before dawn, and we didn't rush to the bottom of the mountain until it was dark." The soles of our feet were blistered, but we still looked forward to going back to my grandmother's house when we were young.
When Grandma is here, she always leaves a lot of delicious food for us to come. β
The other two brothers were also opened to talk and began to talk about their childhood. It was a very hard but not lacking joy in the years, and Zuo Ranjia's heart was full of emotion and emotion. It was difficult for her to imagine what the life of the peasants in ancient China was like, and what it was like when natural and man-made disasters were encountered.
In such a comparison, she feels that she is extremely lucky and happy at the moment.
People have to learn to be satisfied in order to touch the arc of happiness. It's no wonder that in later generations, pure ancient farming literature suddenly prevailed, because there is a hard life in front of the comparison, it is the heroines who make a fortune with their families to live a rich life, it will be easy for people to feel the sweetness and happiness in it.
As they spoke, the group finally saw the small light in the mountain with teeth and claws when they were about to lose sight of the road under their feet. They quickened their pace, and when they reached the door, they heard the sound of the children's voices reciting books, and most of their exhaustion was gone.
Liu Tianxing knocked on the door, the iron ring on the door rang loudly, and the voices of the people in the courtyard answered slightly hoarsely.
The door creaked open, Liu Tianliang looked at the group of people outside the door, and happily welcomed them in, while shouting loudly: "Children, look who is coming!" β
Usually, several brothers of the Liu family take turns carrying things on their backs every once in a while, and come to see them with the expectation and concern of Liu's mother. However, the Liu brothers were all quiet, but they didn't say which time they would disturb the children's studies and let them come out to greet them.
The children came out curiously, and when they saw the five people standing in the hall wrapped in the early spring chill, they were all as happy as Liu Tianliang.
"Sister-in-law," Du Jinqi squeezed in from behind like a small cannonball and rushed into Zuo Ranjia's arms.
Zuo Ranjia was a little stumbling by her, she smiled and picked up the little guy, "Little Nizi, I haven't seen you for more than a month, you have grown taller and fatter!" β
"Hmph, I have all the nutrition for my brain, otherwise I will grow taller," the little guy was dissatisfied with being said to be fat and hummed, but he still stretched out his little hand and hugged Zuo Ranjia's neck affectionately, and buried his little face in the fragrant neck, he could no longer bear the longing and the illusion that he would return to the hard days when their brothers and sisters depended on each other, and whispered and cried.
"Silly girl, what are you crying about?" Zuo Ranjia patted her on the back funny, and looked at the Du family sisters and brothers who came up. Their eyes were red, looking at themselves excitedly, and the strong and innocent feelings in them were like the hottest sun in summer, which made people sweat profusely.
