Chapter 4 Crossing Welfare

Yi Yu slept until almost noon the next day, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, the first thing she saw was the wooden beams above her head, and the whispers of women and children came intermittently in her ears, and she knew that she was not dreaming, but really traveled through time and space, becoming a little girl from a Tang Dynasty peasant family, and the most important thing is that she now has relatives.

After sucking in the air through his nose to hold back his sourness, Yi Yu sat up from the somewhat awkward bed, cleared his throat and shouted, "Mother! ”

In the blink of an eye, Lu ran in from the courtyard outside, followed by two small tails. Yi Yu glanced at the three of them one by one, and then a big smile bloomed.

"Xiaoyu, you're awake! Mother won't let me quarrel with you. Lu Jun pouted and ran to the edge of the bed and sat down, complaining to Yi Yu a little aggrieved.

Yi Yu looked at him with a smile and called out "Second Brother" sweetly, which immediately made Lu Junxi smile. He turned his head and shouted "big brother" to Lu Zhi again, and his sharp eyes saw that his face was slightly red.

"Okay, clean up for your little sister, and my mother will go to hot dinner." I don't know if it's an illusion, Yi Yu vaguely heard a choked voice in Lu's voice, but there was a smile on her face.

After lunch, Lu led the three children to sit on the big stone platform in the courtyard to bask in the sun, and he also took a job of embroidery. Yi Yu smiled and dealt with Lu Jun who was teasing her on the side, while paying attention to Lu's handiwork.

I saw her holding the round bandage for embroidery firmly in one hand, and the needle and thread in the other hand shuttled back and forth on it. Yi Yu was very curious, although he knew that the Lu family could embroider something, but it was the first time he saw the ancient people being real women red, and he didn't know if it was any different from those modern cross-stitches.

So she leaned over to Lu's side, and the cloth looked like silk silk rather than the coarse cloth they were wearing, and the size of a handkerchief was fastened with a flower bandage, and it was only a little green on it. But at this moment, Lu's fingers flew up and down, several strands of needle and thread of different colors shuttled back and forth on the white silk silk, and after a while, there was an emerald dragonfly in the corner of the originally empty jade white silk surface, although the color of the cotton thread is not more formal than the modern one, but the appearance of this dragonfly is extremely vivid, the thin wings seem to vibrate gently, so small that its eyes can be clearly distinguished.

Seeing that she was distracted and ignoring herself, Lu Jun took her little hand and asked, "Xiaoyu watching her mother do her work?" ”

Yi Yu turned around and said, "Well, it's good-looking." This is true, modern people's clothing and small objects are printed by machines, and occasionally there is an embroidery place that is also cleaned up by machines. To say that when she was in college, she also played with her friends for a while with a simple and patterned thing like cross-stitch, but it was not as simple as this serious show, at that time she just spent more than a week making a palm-sized mobile phone chain, and in the end it was just a scoop drawing.

Therefore, she really admires Lu's craftsmanship in embroidering a figure in a while. Thinking about Lu's method just now, Yi Yu suddenly froze, his eyes were still staring at Lu Jun, and his dumb eyes were so frightened that he hurriedly reached out and pushed her.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you!"

Only then did Yi Yu come back to her senses, and when she saw that Lu Shi and Lu Zhi had already put down the things in their hands, they looked at her nervously with Lu Jun, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry, knowing that they were afraid that they would be stupid again.

"Pretty." So Yi Yu pointed to the thing on Lu's knee again, which made the mother and son spread their eyebrows again.

Lu Shi picked up the bandage again and continued to embroider her things, and said to Yu Yu: "Yu'er will not be like this in the future, it will frighten my mother." You have to like female red, wait until you are older and then learn, your mother will teach you personally, our craft is your grandmother's ancestors passed down the serious 800 Shu embroidery, it is passed on to the daughter not to the relatives. ”

Lu Shi was still muttering to her, although Yi Yu appeared to be listening on the surface, but he was puzzled in his heart, and what he was thinking about was Lu Shi's fingers flying up and down just now.

When Shicai spoke to Lu Jun, she was surprised to find that the stitches and threads of Lu Shi when she embroidered the dragonfly just now were very clearly imprinted in her mind, which was different from the difficulty when she traveled through her previous memories. What's going on? When did her memory become so good?

Pressing the alarm, she quietly looked at Lu Shi and did the work for a while, until she found that no matter how many times she opened her eyes to recall, she could probably clearly remember Lu Shi's steps of changing threads and inserting needles, and her heart suddenly turned to joy. After the secret passage, her memory that she has always been unable to take out has become better, has it?

She could clearly feel her memory improve, and she couldn't wait to find something else to try.

Seeing that Lu Zhi on the side was holding a thin book in his hand and reading it carefully, he pretended to be curious and leaned over to him, and the mother and son didn't care about her childlike nature. But she quickly swept the page of text in Lu Jun's hand, and then slightly opened her eyes to recall, but it took a lot of perseverance to suppress her excitement.

Her memory has really improved, the book in Lu Zhi's hand is full of traditional letters, although she is studying Chinese literature, but she can only understand traditional characters, after all, in modern times, she is a person with mediocre qualifications. However, she could roughly recall the seven points of the book after reading the page of more than 100 words in traditional Chinese just now.

Lu Zhi saw that the little person opposite him came to his side and pretended to be reading, although it was interesting only when she was interested in reading and reading, she couldn't help but look up and say to Lu: "Mother, now that Xiaoyu is also sober, why don't you teach her to read and write, or I will teach her?" ”

Only then did Yi Yu put away his excitement, and sat down in front of Lu Shi with his little buttocks, but his eyes were still aimed at the books in Lu Zhi's hand, thinking in his heart that he had lived for twenty years, and his head was so good for the first time.

Lu Shi touched the little brain of Yu Yu, and responded, "I'll teach you, you want to herd cattle and you don't have time to take her, Jun'er doesn't like to study, my mother taught you both to come over, so naturally you have to enlighten your sister in person." Now Sister Yu is only four years old, it is the age when it is time to recognize some words, I think she is really good this time, just in case there is no problem in the future, I am afraid that there will be more smart sisters in our family in the future. ”

The two brothers smiled when they heard their mother's words, but Yu Yu was a little puzzled, even in modern times, they had never heard of children in the countryside being literate and enlightened, why was this family so different?

"Alas, the mother's religion is naturally good, and it is not worse than the gentleman in the town."

"Brother, are you going to the private school in the town again?" Lu Jun on the side interrupted, which made Lu Zhi's expression tense for a moment, and he glanced at Lu Shi cautiously, and saw that she still had a smile on her face, without the slightest dissatisfaction, so he replied slowly with ease.

"Well, I just drove the cattle the last time, and I thought about borrowing another book, but it didn't work out."

Yi Yu's eyes lit up when he mentioned the word "book", and she thought of her mother calling her a nerd before, and secretly said that this eldest brother is really a studious person, maybe he can study hard now, and he can make a name for himself in the future. The Tang Dynasty had a imperial examination system, and as long as the eldest brother was talented and learned, he had the future of becoming an official.

Lu Shi listened to his words, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Zhi'er, I've finished reading this Analect, so I didn't say anything to my mother." Don't go to borrow books, I've also seen that gentleman in town, he is not a good person, you will definitely be looked down upon by him when you borrow books. When I go to the market tomorrow to buy flour for Sister Yu'er, I will naturally stop by and follow you a little bit. ”

Lu Zhi listened to Lu's words, his eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head as if he remembered something, "No, mother, books are cheap now for forty yuan, why don't I borrow them a few more times, it will always work." ”

Lu Shi shook his head and said no more, Yi Yu saw that her eyes seemed to darken, and she couldn't help but feel sad, thinking about whether her family was rich now, and the eldest brother was reluctant to buy a book for forty yuan. Although the family has 30 acres of land, the current grain production is definitely not high, and I am afraid that the Lu family doing embroidery work is also a means of making a living, but I don't know what the current prices are.

Seeing that the family was gloomy because of the money for a book, she couldn't help but twist her brain to recall what ideas to make money to make the family's living environment better, but she studied literature in the Chinese department in college, and she really didn't have a big impression of economic things, and after thinking hard, she found that she didn't have the idea of catching up at all. The only thing she has is some excellent ancient articles sorted out by modern people in her chest, but it doesn't work at all, so why can't she make up books and sell words for a big child like her? When the time comes, she will be accepted as a monster, and it will be too late to cry, not to mention that she can't even write traditional characters.

But fortunately, the crossing comes with a good brain, and the days will be long in the future, and I am not afraid that the family will not have a good life. I also thought that when I had money, I would definitely buy a room of books for Lu Zhi to read, and I wouldn't have to work hard for Lu Shi to subsidize the family.

The family of four sat in the small courtyard of the farmhouse and spent the whole afternoon enjoying the half-warm sunshine of early spring.
