Chapter 34: All the potatoes are planted

"What does it mean that there has been no precedent for girls to study since ancient times?" Qin Yu couldn't help but feel sad for Lu Dazhuang's thousand-year-old feudal thoughts, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has been nearly two hundred years since women could go to school, and the ideology of this village is still before the Qing Dynasty, and he feels that it is still the Ming Dynasty, and there is even an emperor outside.

You can't give examples after the Ming Dynasty, just give examples before the Ming Dynasty, and say, "Mulan in ancient times, Zhu Yingtai, can't you also go to school?" They were all daughters. ”

"Mr. Qin, the girl will marry after all in the future, and it is not cost-effective for her to learn to read and write." Lu Dazhuang was embarrassed for a while, "And since ancient times, women are virtuous if they are not talented, as long as they know how to serve people." Even the saints say that only women and villains are difficult to raise. ”

"Why do you look down on girls? Everyone's mother is a woman! Qin Yu said angrily, "And there are still few heroines throughout the ages, Hua Mulan is a good woman, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, and even Wu Zetian are all women." As the saying goes, a girl can hold up half the sky! You can conclude that Qing Qian will not be able to become like them in the future? ”

Lu Dazhuang was speechless, and he was not good at words, his face was flushed, and he held it for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "Mr. Qin, my family really can't afford to pay for her to go to school......"

Although the bundle of silver given to Qin Yu by the patriarch was made up by each family, the parents of the children who went to school would have the big head, and the rest of the families would have a small head. If Lu Dazhuang wants his daughter to go to school, he will give more silver.

Moreover, girls have never gone to school in the past, and if he does this, it will attract gossip from the villagers.

Although folklore has it that Zhu Yingtai also disguised herself as a man to go to school, Zhu Yingtai was born in a rich family with a lot of money and no use, a farmer like him, don't think about such a thing.

"I don't charge money for my nine-year compulsory education, and it's not a reason that I can't come up with money to pay for her school." Qin Yu said.

"Even if you don't charge money, there is only one child in the family, Qingqian, I go to the mountains to hunt, and the family's vegetable patch still needs her to take care of, and she also needs to dig the wild vegetables to eat every day." Lu Dazhuang said.

Hearing this, Qin Yu was silent, knowing that what he said was the truth, and his family was indeed too poor.

You can't force him to let Lu Qingqian go to school because of his own personal thoughts, that is, standing and talking without backache.

Only after his family can eat enough can they talk about going to school.

Suddenly, with a "poof", Lu Dazhuang's tall body knelt down in front of Qin Yu: "Mr. Qin, if you really like this girl, take her as a personal maid and serve you." ”

Qin Yu's insistence on Lu Qingqian's schooling, in Lu Dazhuang's opinion, is extremely concerned, and his concern is a little unreasonable. seems to have a good impression of her, and has such a meaning.

"Mr. Qin, you are a big man teaching in the village, and it is very inconvenient to have no one around to take care of you. Qingqian, this girl is considerate to people, she must be able to take care of her husband, and she usually eats very little, and her husband doesn't need to give her monthly money, just take care of her food. "If Mr. Qin is willing to accept her, then I, the father, can be regarded as finding a good home for her."

After speaking, he actually kowtowed to Qin Yu.

"Mr. Qin, I think I can agree to this." Xu Da also persuaded on the side, "This little girl is likable at first glance, and she has a soft temperament, and she will definitely take care of people from a farmer's family." ”

This......

The moment Lu Dazhuang knelt down, Qin Yu was messy, and he felt like he couldn't come back to his senses.

I didn't expect it to be 2022, and I could still meet the fact that the father gave his daughter to someone else as a maid! Yahuan, that was a profession hundreds of years ago. And she's only twelve this year.

And there are people next to you to help out!

I just want to take her as a student, and you want her to serve me?

Ignorance!

Very foolish!

The villagers in the remote mountainous areas are lovely when they are simple, but when they are ignorant, they also make people feel hateful.

"Get up for me!" Qin Yu said angrily, "I won't accept her girl's ring!" ”

"What do you think of her, can you respect her?"

"Mr. Qin, do you dislike her?" Lu Dazhuang was a little incomprehensible, I remember that two days ago, Lu Qingqian came back and told him that Mr. Qin was very kind, got along with her very well, and his daughter admired him very much.

"Why do I dislike her?" Qin Yu sighed, and his tone softened.

Lu Dazhuang's family once saved themselves, and during their injuries, they were taken care of in a shallow and meticulous manner, and even gave him the only little rice in his family to make porridge and drink. It's really inappropriate for me to yell at him like that just now. It's just that Lu Dazhuang's words just now are really a bit outrageous, which makes Qin Yu, a person full of civilized concepts, unacceptable.

"Brother Lu, let Qing Qian be a maid for me, don't mention it for the time being?" Qin Yu also realized at this moment that if he wanted to change his outdated concepts, I am afraid it would not be a matter of one or two days, but he could only change it step by step, in order to change it slowly, "In this way, if Qingqian has time in the future, let her go to the academy to listen to the class, okay?" She doesn't have to work all day long, she doesn't have free time. ”

"Okay then." Lu Dazhuang thought about it and nodded reluctantly.

"Brother Lu, do you have a vegetable plot at home?" Qin Yu changed the topic at the right time.

"It's right outside the door." Lu Dazhuang said.

"Take me to see it." Qin Yu said.

A few people walked out of the dilapidated wooden house, and then Qin Yu saw a vegetable field, which was still growing greenly. It's just that many vegetable leaves have been eaten by insects and eaten by birds.

There is a lot of wildlife in the mountains.

"Brother Lu, you clean up this vegetable field and plant this thing instead." Qin Yu opened the plastic bag, revealing several crop tubers, which were the potatoes he hadn't eaten on the way.

"Mr. Qin, what is this, can it be planted in the ground?" Lu Dazhuang asked strangely.

"I've been growing the land for more than ten years, and I've never seen this crop." Xu Da looked at it carefully and said.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's do it." Qin Yu said.

"Since Mr. asked me to plant it, I will plant it, I believe in Mr." Lu Dazhuang said, and after speaking, he and Lu Qingqian began to pull out the original wattle in the ground, and after pulling it out, they picked up the hoe and began to turn the ground regularly.

Seeing this, Xu Da also followed them to work.

And Qin Yu was not idle, first washing the potatoes with clean water and then cutting them into small pieces. The potatoes he brought were not enough to grow a piece of land, but they were enough to cut into small pieces, and the cut was more conducive to growth.

Under the command of Qin Yu, several people dug dozens of seed pits in the middle of the vegetable field, about 20 centimeters deep. The pit was sprinkled with small half-pit of plant ash and watered with manure, after which the potatoes were planted and covered with a thin layer of soil.

Soon, with the joint efforts of several people, all the potatoes were planted.
