Chapter 22: Literacy, List of Convoys
As soon as Pei Chen finished taking a shower, a guest came to the Qin family.
"You're here, haven't you had breakfast?"
Pei Chen greeted Hua Yunzheng casually.
It can only be said that this reaction is different from ordinary people.
A girl who was on the cusp of everyone's discussion came to him early in the morning, but he greeted him like an ordinary friend, and he didn't understand that girls behaved like this...... What it means.
"Sir, not surprised?"
Even Hua Yunzheng, the client, couldn't adapt to his rhythm for a while.
"What's the accident, didn't you say I'll see you tomorrow, so it's either me going to see you, or you coming to see me."
"This ...... Also. ”
In fact, along the way, she thought a lot in her heart, especially when she heard the pointing at herself from behind.
But after seeing Pei Chen, after such a simple conversation, everything she was thinking about was thrown away.
"Sir, I'm really a little hungry."
After returning home yesterday, she didn't have a moment of calmness, so much so that she didn't eat much.
"The kitchen is there, you can cook whatever you want to eat, you're welcome," Pei Chen said.
This is really unkind, they all say that they are guests, and they actually let the guests cook their own food.
“…… All right. ”
Unexpectedly, she was not responsive at all, and she was as well-behaved as her little daughter-in-law.
It's also that my uncle and sister-in-law are not at home when they go out, otherwise I don't know what reaction it will cause.
The nephew was curious, but was pulled back into the house by his mother-in-law.
Hua Yunzheng's cooking skills are good, and he baked himself a cake.
During this period, Qin Mi'er came and wanted to help, but was stopped by Pei Chen.
"This is what she wants to do, what kind of mess are you making, be careful of family law."
One sentence made Qin Mi'er so ashamed that she couldn't see anyone.
Going to someone else's house and eating their own cakes is definitely the first time in Hua Yunzheng's life.
Simple pancakes have a unique taste to eat.
"It's not a matter to always live in my mother's house, it's not good to entertain people, in fact, I don't care, but I said I want you to live a good life, I decided, when I have money, I will buy a house, facing the sea, and the spring flowers will bloom."
"Yes." Qin Mi'er responded.
I am also used to some strange remarks about my husband.
In fact, I have always felt that my husband is a contradictory person, thinking that the wind is the wind, and thinking that the rain is the rain.
"Sir wants a new house? My grandfather has it there, although it is not facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming, but if you don't dislike it......" Hua Yunzheng said.
"Don't worry, let's talk about it."
Pei Chen didn't explain the true meaning of the sentence facing the sea and spring flowers.
Qin Mi'er's face on the side showed a hint of strangeness.
If anyone could read what she was thinking, they would hear, "What kind of dowry is this for a new house?" ”
"They all came, and they ate for nothing, so come and work for me." Pei Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all.
No matter how you say it, you are also a guest, but you let people eat their own baked cakes, and after eating, you have to call people.
Another one, at Hua Yunzheng's age, he was a child laborer in his previous life, and he squeezed a child laborer without any burden in his heart.
"Do you want to work, okay." Hua Yunzheng did not hesitate, nor did he have the slightest sense of consciousness.
"Prepare pen and paper."
Qin Mi'er was not idle, grinding ink for Pei Chen on the side.
Today, what Pei Chen has to do is to analyze the list of slaves brought back by the Zhu family and select suitable candidates for the escort from them.
On each piece of paper are the identities of slaves.
For these things, the Zhu family also spent some money, in order to facilitate their actions, and asked the copyist to copy them.
Ordinary people would not be as troublesome as Pei Chen when buying slaves.
But Pei Chen is different from others.
The escort team you want to form is different from others.
Who can equip the Guards with crossbows and black powder?
Among their own requirements, the most important point is to pass the character.
There were a lot of slaves in those days.
The situation in Lanshan Village and Baima Village is good.
In other villages, there are many people who can't eat and can't survive, and they can only sell themselves as slaves.
Slaves are also ranked, with those who are skilled or young and beautiful.
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are the least valuable.
Pei Chen didn't say much, just said that he wanted to select the personnel of the escort team, and let Hua Yunzheng toss.
It was the first time Hua Yunzheng had dealt with such a thing, and it was different from what she had learned before.
She could only slow down and think carefully.
On the other side, Pei Chen was teaching Qin Mi'er to read.
Before marrying Pei Chen, although she didn't know a single word, there were only a few words she could recognize.
What kind of woman is not talented is virtue, and it is all denied here by Pei Chen.
As your own woman, you have to train her well, and you can cultivate her as perfect as you can.
And to train a person starts with literacy.
Qin Mi'er has passed the best age to study, but she is not stupid, and she studies seriously.
Pei Chen taught one word at a time.
She just learned word by word.
"This word is home, the upper '宀' means the roof of the house, and the lower part is a 'pig', which means pig. Pigs are docile and fertile, and if you have pigs at home, it will make people feel safe, just like you, I am raising you as a pig. ”
In the first half, Qin Mi'er was still listening carefully, but in the second half, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Husband teased me again."
Pei Chen's face was serious, "I'm not wrong, are you docile, naturally docile." Fecundity, you know, you will have a lot of children, don't you want to have a lot of children with me. Also, didn't you say that you were going to support me, I always remember that, it makes me feel very secure. ”
"Husband, aren't you ashamed, someone."
Qin Mi'er said this in her mouth, and her heart was as sweet as drinking honey.
She knew that this was her husband's unique love words to her.
The husband will not say any empty vows, he will only express his love for himself in his own way.
On the other side, Hua Yunzheng, who was buried in his head, glanced at Pei Chen and Qin Mi'er with a complicated expression.
"The word is called the country, and the border is 'mouth', which can be seen as four walls, representing the border, and can also be interpreted as population. Inside is 'jade', which refers to wealth, wealth is not only money, but also life, dignity, etc., and can also be home, so it is said that only when there is a country can there be a home, as long as these four walls are firm, the home will be fine. ”
Qin Mi'er nodded, "I know, my husband is my country, as long as my husband is here, I will shelter this family from the wind and rain." ”
Pei Chen smiled and knocked her little forehead, "What you say is a bit rebellious." ”
"Don't be afraid, no outsiders will hear it."
Hua Yunzheng on the side raised his head and glanced at it again, this time with relief on his face.
It turned out that he was not treated as an outsider.
After talking about home and country.
Pei Chen wrote down the words "human", "big", and "too much" in a row.
"This figure is the way people walk. And the big characters, like people standing between heaven and earth with open arms, means that people are the spirits of all things, and they are very great. Taizi is a little more than a big character, which means a little more than more. ”
Speaking of this, Pei Chen paused, and his expression became weird.
"In fact, the word Tai can be explained in another way, we already know that big refers to the greatness of people, and there are two kinds of people, namely men and women, men are always strong and dominate women, so you can do this interpretation......"
"Big refers to great people, and in this great person, men are more prominent, and they become Taizi, you see, this Taizi doesn't look like a man sleeping with his hands and feet open."
Qin Mi'er was a little dizzy, and subconsciously pointed to a little below the Taizi, and asked, "What about this." ”
Pei Chen's strange expression became even weirder, and he looked at himself with frowns, as if he was saying something.
On the other side, Hua Yunzheng didn't know what was wrong, and almost couldn't sit still, during which he didn't forget to look at Pei Chen, and felt that the part he was looking at was too sensitive, and blushed.
Pei Chen pouted helplessly, "You know so much when you're old, and that's right, you're a prodigy." ”
In the end, Qin Mi'er also knew what this meant, and when she thought of it...... If he weren't for his husband, he would definitely scold the prodigal son.
After Hua Yunzheng sorted it out, a stack of materials was handed over to Pei Chen.
Look at them one by one.
Hua Yunzheng is like a student facing the teacher, waiting for the evaluation.
After reading the information in his hand, Pei Chen took the information that had been screened out.
I looked through it, found two, and handed them to Hua Yunzheng.
"I think they're pretty good, take a look, and talk about what you think."
After a long time, Hua Yunzheng tentatively spoke.
"One age is not suitable, but if there is any difference, it is that he has been on the battlefield."
"The other, due to a lack of evaluation of human beings, was given up by me, but it was mentioned that he was a family man"
Pei Chen nodded
It's all right, and there is no one with this IQ.
"Yes, a veteran and a man with a family on his back."
"Young and strong people are indeed suitable to become escorts, but veterans also have the advantages of veterans, experience is enough to make up for the physical gap, and experience can be used to teach people."
"Although there is a lack of evaluation, a man who cares for his family will not be bad, and besides, if he can be allowed to place his family in Baima Village, then it will no longer be just a job for him to guard."
Then a number of questions were discussed.
Finally, the list of twelve convoys was tentatively determined.
Among them, Pei Chen singled out veterans and men who carried their families.
At the end of the day, it was nearly dusk.
By the way, Hua Yunzheng was left for dinner.
Qin Dazhong and Zhu Lingfang, who returned home, also officially met Hua Yunzheng, and they didn't know what to express for a while.
After knowing that she was in their home today, their eyes changed.
This girl is too bold, and my uncle really dares.
What worried them was Qin Mi'er, afraid that she would not be able to cope with such a relationship.
can see that Qin Mi'er is the same as no one, which makes them wonder if something happened to the three of them at home that day.
Since it was late, Pei Chen was responsible for sending Hua Yunzheng home.
Although it is night, they can be used as two focal points to attract the attention of others as soon as they walk on the road.
For other people's eyes, Pei Chen was indifferent.
Pei Chen was indifferent, and Hua Yunzheng was nothing.
