Chapter 15 The Invention of the Sand Table

readx;? After lunch, Tiezhu came to the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He saw Ziluo and his sisters and brothers writing in the yard, so he walked over and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long time: "How does Ah Luo know that the carriage at the entrance of the village is from the trafficker?"

"I guess. Ziluo said with a grin.

"That human trafficker was found by Ah Luo?" Zishu and the others had not noticed how the trafficker could have a problem.

"Yes, eldest brother, I saw that the second uncle was in a hurry to tie up the eldest sister and leave, thinking that they might have someone to pick them up, so I went to try my luck to see if there were any people I didn't know into the village, who knew that Brother Tiezhu saw that there was a carriage coming to the entrance of the village, so Ah Luo went to find the carriage, and then deliberately let them misunderstand that the second uncle and they were going to raise the price, so the trafficker came to our house with me to find the second uncle and them to settle accounts. ”

"Arlo is really getting smarter. Zixuan praised Ziluo.

Zishu thought about it and felt that this little sister had become more and more intelligent since she woke up after falling into the water. It seems that in the future, we should pay more attention to Aluo's opinion.

"Ah Luo is so smart, you can write so many words?" Tie Zhu saw Ziluo writing a lot on the ground.

The characters of this dynasty are the same as modern traditional characters, so Ziluo learns very quickly. Now the eldest brother teaches the siblings five words every day after lunch. She has learned everything, but she always deliberately makes a few mistakes, otherwise if it is too prominent, Ziluo is afraid that it will scare the eldest brother, so Ziluo's learning speed surprised the eldest brother, but fortunately, the second brother who is equally smart is not so prominent.

Every time I hear the eldest brother praise her Ziluo, she blushes a little, she is purely due to the memory of her previous life, and the second brother is a veritable genius.

As for Ziwei and Zitao, they are not very interested in this study. Ziwei just likes needlework like embroidery, while Zitao can't sit still, and she usually spends most of the time in Zishu's teaching class. And Xiaoliu's words, he is still too young. But he also learns quite quickly, but because of his age, he doesn't learn as well as Ziluo and Zixuan. Therefore, now Ziluo and Zixuan are Zishu's two "proud protégés".

"That's right! Now the eldest brother teaches us to write every day, and even the sixth brother knows a lot. Ziluo replied to Tie Zhudao.

"I really don't understand why you love to learn so much, my eldest brother also practices calligraphy in the yard every day. If only we had money to buy pen, ink and paper to practice calligraphy, then the eldest brother would be able to come to the house to practice calligraphy, and there would be no need to squat in the yard every day to write. "Iron Pillar Road.

Ziluo heard the idea, she had heard that there was a thing called a sand table that could be used to write in ancient times, but there didn't seem to be one here.

So she said to the eldest brother, "Big brother, we can use a wooden box or a broken bowl to fill some sand, and then write on the sand, so that we don't have to squat on the ground in the yard, right?"

When they heard it, they all suddenly realized, why didn't they think of it.

So, Zishu went to find a few wooden boxes that had been idle for a long time made by his father to practice calligraphy for everyone. Sure enough, the effect is similar to writing on the ground, and the most satisfying thing is that you can take it to the house and sit and write.

Seeing this, Tie Zhu also ran home excitedly and asked his father to make such a box for his eldest brother to practice calligraphy.

When today's study time was over, Zishu said: "There are no wild vegetables to pick now, today Zixuan and I will go to the mountain to have a look." See if you can find a suitable place to dig a trap and see if you can catch some prey. ”

Everyone knows that the eldest brother is thinking about their livelihood, but the mountains are dangerous after all.

"Brother, the mountain is very dangerous, can you not go, I can do some more embroidery work to see if I can get through." Ziwei was worried.

"It's okay eldest sister, we're just digging a trap on the edge of the mountain to see if we can catch the prey, and we won't go deep into the mountains. I've been with my dad before, and there are no big prey on the outskirts of the mountain, only rabbits and the like at most, so it's fine. ”

Zixuan also said: "That's it, eldest sister let me go with my brother." ”

Ziwei knew that when her father was here more than two years ago, Zishu had indeed gone hunting with her father to the outskirts of the mountain a few times. Now seeing that they were all going, he agreed, but then he said, "If you don't find a suitable place to dig a trap, come back! ”

"Rest assured, eldest sister, we know the measure. Zishu said, and then set off with Zixuan.

Less than an hour after Zishu left, Ziluo saw that the eldest sister who was doing needlework had walked several times, knowing that she was worried about the eldest brother and they walked over to distract her, although she was also worried about the eldest brother and them, but she was more willing to believe in the eldest brother's ability, and believed that the eldest brother must be sure that since he dared to go with the second brother. It seems that she must speed up the process of getting rich in her family, so that she can fundamentally solve the livelihood problem, so that the eldest brother and they don't have so much pressure.

"Eldest sister, how much money can you make a day doing embroidery?" Ziluo asked.

Sure enough, Ziwei's attention was attracted: "If I embroider this handkerchief, and if Zitao helps me sort out the thread, I can probably embroider four such handkerchiefs a day, and one handkerchief can cost four yuan." In this way, we can earn about fifteen cents a day. If it was when my mother was there before, my mother could earn more than 20 yuan a day by herself. My mother's embroidery work is better than mine, and the handkerchief she embroiders can be bought for six cents. ”

"Mother's embroidery work is very good, isn't it?" Ziluo heard Ziwei talk about her mother's life for the first time.

"Didn't Ah Luo forget that my mother used to be an embroiderer in Sioux City, and then my mother and our grandparents fled to us after the flood at home. Daddy saved them, but our grandparents soon fell ill and died from the exhaustion of their previous travels. Later, my mother married our father. These mothers have told us about it, Ah Luo forgot?" Zitao said.

I just didn't know my mother's embroidery would be so good. Ziluo hurriedly said.

"That is, my mother's embroidery is one of the best in our village, and even the eldest sister has learned seven or eight points from my mother. Zi Tao said proudly.

"My mother and eldest sister are amazing. Eldest sister, the money you earn from embroidery is almost enough for us to buy food. Ziluo deliberately said that she didn't want her eldest sister to have too much pressure, she wanted her eldest sister to know that she was very useful and that she could make money to support her family. Of course, half of this is true, Ziwei does earn almost enough money to buy food for their family, but the expenses of the family are far more than just food expenses.

"Arlo is really comforting. Ziwei can probably understand this little girl's mind.
