After walking the mountain road for a long time, Yun Duoduo finally arrived in Qingshui County.

This Qingshui county is close to the river, and the traffic is also developed, compared with Yunjia Village, it is a very lively and prosperous place. The Jiang family had a good life in the county, with a few shops and land. Jiang Sanlang Jiang Zhu and his wife Bai took care of the house in good order, and the family's life was getting better and better. There is also Da Lang who lives in the county with his daughter-in-law and listens to errands beside the county guard, which makes the family somewhat decent in the county.

Only Erlang's daughter-in-law Guo's life is hard, she is young and widowed, has no children and no daughters, and her life is very lonely.

The old grandmother took Yun Duoduo back, and let Yun Duoduo live with Guo's family, which can be regarded as relieving Guo's loneliness.

Guo Shi also had a lot of pity and readily agreed.

Guo lived in a small courtyard south of the Jiang family, and there were two handmaidens who served in front of her, and she had nothing to do, and the widower did not go out much on weekdays, so he took the handmaid to weave cloth in the room and do needlework.

"When you arrive at our house, you must also learn to make needlework, and the girls of good families must be able to embroider, not to learn to be rude to village women." Guo said seriously.

Yun Duoduo was speechless, she really didn't want to learn......

After reading for so many years, I don't want to learn anything new for a long time!

But Guo insisted on pulling her to learn, and taught her quite seriously, so that people prepared a special set of fronts to teach her from scratch.

"A girl from a good family does needlework, and after you get married, your in-laws will look up to you a little bit, you can do work, in addition to cooking, you can also subsidize the family, and men will respect you a little. Isn't it much better than the one who can only cook and spill? Guo said.

Yun Duoduo: "...... I can do something else. ”

Guo smiled: "Do something else?" Can you still farm and plow? We still have women in the mountains here, you don't know, in some places in the north, women can't go down to the ground, and when they go down to the ground, there are no crops growing in the field. If you don't do embroidery, what will you do if your in-laws look down on you in the future? ”

Yun Duoduo: "......"

When a woman goes to the ground, she doesn't grow crops! What kind of feudal superstition is this!

Jiang pointed at her: "Study hard!" ”

Yun Duoduo's hand shook and pricked his hand.

Guo sighed: "Tell me about you, this is the easiest, you can't learn it, hey, you're not too young, if you don't learn it, how can you say it!" ”

It's almost twelve years old this year, Guo is very anxious, and it's a little late to learn needlework at this age.

"Don't underestimate this needlework, our maids and maids in the family will do it, and at the end of the month, they will go to your third aunt and uncle according to the number, and sell them in the shop together. Guo said, "You study with your aunt for a few years, and when you learn well, you can weave fifteen pieces of cloth and tie two belts in a month, just like your aunt, and occasionally embroider some shoes." Then you can find a good family. ”

Yun Duoduo's eyes widened: "But the people I saw before Duoduo didn't know how to embroider shoes with belts." ”

Don't say that she hadn't seen it in her previous life, she didn't see the women in the village embroidering shoes and straps even when she crossed over, everyone's clothes were black, white, gray, and blue, and she didn't see any other colors.

The shoes are all cloth shoes, too.

Guo sighed: "That's what you don't understand, where is our Qingshui County where your village can compare, your aunt was originally a first-class skillful hand in the county, she married your family, bent her in vain, and the embroidered things were also sold to the foot merchants who came and went." We have a shop in Qingshui County, and we can sell it in the shop, and the handkerchief I embroidered a few days ago can be sold for 300 yuan. ”

Yun Duoduo looked at her in surprise.

Guo Shi said again: "You have to study hard, otherwise, if you can't talk about people in Qingshui County, you have to go back to Yunjia Village and marry someone from your hometown, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that you will suffer like your aunt." ”

Yun Duoduo: "......"

Do you study hard every day?

Yun Duoduo seems to have returned to the stage before the college entrance examination in his previous life, as well as the stage before the graduate school entrance examination.

"You have to study hard, girls don't study hard, they will have to suffer in the future." My mother said earnestly, "If you don't study hard, you will have a mortgage and a car loan in the future, you will have a low education, you can't find a good job, and your income is low, and you won't be able to pay any of them." At that time, you will have to find a man to marry, and then rely on that man to pay for the survival of these big heads. ”

In the love of two people, the woman is already out of an unequal position, because your basic life depends on this man.

When you feel that two people are not suitable and want to leave, you will face the problem of having no place to live, one person's salary cannot afford to buy a house, and there is only enough for one mouth, and then you can't leave decisively, but you will compromise.

In this way, women will only live more and more miserable.

And now it's the same.

A woman who can weave and embroider can not only cook and have children, but also have a salary, although it is not comparable to a man who can farm, but it is much better than a man who knows nothing, and the person who marries is a little better, and the in-laws will be more interested.

"But aunt, I don't want to learn needlework, I want to read." Yun Duoduo whispered that she had been piercing her hand for many days, and she didn't want to do it for a long time!

"Literacy?" Guo Shi looked at her in surprise, "What do you want to read?" ”

Yun Duoduo: "......"

What do you do to read and write? That's a really hard question to answer.

However, she thinks that people need to know how to read and write, so that they can receive a series of information such as culture and science, otherwise, what is the point of living?

She whispered: "My aunt can also read and write, and I want to be like my aunt." ”

"Your father is a teacher, although he didn't get into Xiucai, but he still knows some words, didn't he teach you some?" Kwok said.

Yun Duoduo shook his head.

All she knows are simplified characters, Yun Chengshui can't teach his daughter to read, he looks down on women, and his daughter is no exception. Besides, his mind is not on her and the Jiang family's mother and daughter.

Jiang knew some words, but he worked day and night every day, and he didn't have time to teach his daughter.

Guo said regretfully: "I recognize some words, but I don't know much, I can only reluctantly teach you some, but this word you recognize is useless, if you want to learn, just learn three hours of embroidery every day, I will teach you another hour of words." ”

Yun Duoduo nodded violently.

Although she felt that going to school was hard in her previous life, now she wants to recognize words more than ever and to learn knowledge, only when she can recognize words, she can know what is happening in the world of men, and can keep up with the trend of this era.
