Chapter 11 Who said that women are inferior to men?
Ye Jinyan's move, firstly, was sincerely grateful for Lizheng's fairness and kindness, and secondly, she also had other ideas.
She is not very old, but she has seen countless complex human natures, and she knows very well that there are few absolute good and bad people in the world, and many times what she chooses to do is just a thought.
She has seen many people who are upright and kind, but have been forced to the point of no return. It's not easy to be a good person, so a good person needs to be rewarded even more.
Their sister and brother are still too weak for the time being, and there are still many times when they rely on Li Zheng to help, whether Li Zheng accepts this silver or not, her heart is already a reward for him.
"Jin Yan, what are you talking about, it's just my duty as a lizheng." Sure enough, Li Zheng was obviously a little moved, "I received my heart, but I can't accept this silver." β
Ye Jinyan didn't withdraw his hand, and insisted: "Don't be too little, just accept it, just take it as our heart." β
"Yes, Uncle Lizheng, you can take it." Ye Jinyu is very sensible, and when she saw this, she also helped on the side.
"Good boy, it's hard to be so grateful for your young age."
Li Zheng touched Ye Jinyu's head, his eyes were a little red, and he sighed: "Didn't Jinyan say that he wanted to do some small business, these silver are just used as capital, Uncle Xin will accept it first, take the money back, and then give it to the uncle after making a lot of money, and the uncle will be wiped out at that time." β
"Well, I'll try to make more money with this money." Ye Jinyan no longer insisted, raised his head, and looked at Li Zheng firmly, "When the time comes, I will not forget your kindness." β
"Okay, Uncle wait!" Li Zheng was very pleased, and asked, "Jin Yan, I think you have a good idea, do you have any plans in the future?" β
"I don't have a long-term plan, but I take it one step at a time, but I do have a plan right now." Ye Jinyan stroked her hair and smiled shyly, "Speaking of which, I want to trouble Uncle Li Zheng for a favor again......
After speaking, he said the idea of sending Ye Jinyu to study.
Their mother, Liu Xia, also knew a few words, and taught the two of them some before her death, Ye Jinyu has always had a good mind, and she is literate and fast, but she is buried in the field to work.
But Ye Jinyan is still young now, and she is a girl's family, and there is no adult in the family to support her, if she just takes Ye Jinyu there, she is afraid that Mr. Private School will not take it seriously, so she wants to ask Li Zheng to help her go through.
"Okay, come to my house after lunch in a while, and I'll take you there."
Li Zheng agreed, looked at Ye Jinyan, he sighed, "Jinyan, you...... Alas, how nice it would be if you were a man. β
Zhao Zhengyang also studied seriously back then, passed the Tongsheng exam, and later his parents were seriously ill and hoped to see him start a family as soon as possible, but his family was really poor, so he had to interrupt his way to study.
He was honest and down-to-earth, and he knew a few words, so he was elected as the new Lizheng.
After taking office, he wanted to find a future for the children in the village, so he discussed with the next door Momiji Village to build a private school.
It's a pity that most of the croppers think that reading is useless, and it is better to stay at home and do odd jobs when the children are young, and when they are in their teens, they are considered serious laborers, so why spend that unjust money?
Although the private school is still there, there are only about a dozen students in the two villages combined, all of whom are children of rich peasant families with a little foresight.
And Ye Jinyan is in a precarious situation, but wisely chose to send his younger brother to study, and this courage alone is beyond the reach of many people.
Not to mention that after contact in the past few days, Li Zheng found that she is smart, brave, and has a pure character, and if she is a man, she will definitely make a difference.
It's a pity that she, as a daughter, was still born in such a family.
Li Zheng only said half of what he said, but Ye Jinyan understood what he meant.
She raised her head and smiled, and said, "Uncle Lizheng doesn't have to be sorry, there are more than phoenixes in divine birds, and more than unicorns in divine beasts, who said that women must be inferior to men?" β
The divine bird has a phoenix, and the divine beast has a lin.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhengyang was shocked.
A village girl not only talks extraordinarily and has great courage, but also can distinguish herbs, and has the idea of "who says that women are inferior to men" that is difficult to understand in the world.
Is this really the quiet, well-behaved and cowardly Ye Jinyan?
Looking at the girl's radiant eyebrows in a daze, Zhao Zhengyang suddenly felt that his estimation of this child was still too low.
After separating from his sister and brother, Zhao Zhengyang walked towards home in a trance, he was a little excited in his heart, this was the excitement of discovering Puyu.
Wu was cooking in the house, and Zhao Hu was standing in front of a large basin in the courtyard, holding the long handle of the knife in his hand, standing like a boneless, and the big white radish in the basin was inserted in his hand for a while.
The water and soil of Bifeng Village can produce radishes, almost every household has a surplus, and poor people may add radishes to porridge to eat, if they can't eat them, they will dry them into dried radishes and make pickled radishes.
And people who are a little better off can't afford to eat radishes and vomit until they vomit.
They often chop the radish and make pig food with pigweed, grain bran, etc., so that the pigs fed grow fat and strong, and rarely get sick.
But whoever has children in the house, he shall give them the work of chopping turnips.
"Why do you want me to do this ......" Obviously, Zhao Hu was not very satisfied with this work, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm bored to death, my mother is really, I made an appointment with Tie Dan to catch crickets together......"
"Huzi!"
The Wu family in the room suddenly shouted loudly, so frightened that Zhao Hu let go of his hands, fell down with a knife, and slammed on the edge of the basin with a "bang".
Oops, it won't be heard by my mother.
Zhao Hu's face changed, and he replied calmly: "Eh! What's wrong, mother? β
"Let's see why your father and your brother haven't come back yet, and they're going to eat in a while!"
Wu's voice was a little muffled, it seemed that he was still adding fire in front of the stove, he shouldn't have heard his complaints, Huzi was happy in his heart, and now he could catch a few crickets by the way!
He hurriedly agreed, jumped and rushed towards the outside of the courtyard, just bumping into Zhao Zhengyang, who was just about to enter the door.
"Ouch!"
"Look at what you frizzy look like!" Zhao Zhengyang scolded twice, but his eyes were loving, "Where are you going?" β
"I'm going to find the stupid big one, Dad, get out of the way!" Zhao Hu said hurriedly.
"What's the mess? That's your brother! Zhao Zhengyang straightened his face.
But Zhao Hu was not afraid of Zhao Zhengyang, he rushed out without raising his head, and only turned his head and made a grimace when he ran away: "Slightly slightly, slightly, stupidly big, stupid big, I'll call!" β
"Alas......" Zhao Zhengyang sighed.
He has two sons, the eldest son Zhao Long follows him, he has been talented and clever since he was a child, but it is a pity that he had an illness when he was a child and burned out his brain, and since then he has been a little naΓ―ve.
The youngest son, Zhao Hu, is healthy and lively, but this temperament is completely with his mother, and he can go to the house to uncover the tiles without looking at it, and he is very skinny.
Looking at the Ye family's smart and sensible sisters and brothers, but they are young and unscrupulous, and then look at their two unsuccessful sons, I can't help but sigh at the creation of people.
