Chapter 133: Light grows, but not heart

After dinner, Chen Ming went home first and said that he was going to get a shovel, and after meeting at Zhang Xiukun's house for a while, he left first, I suspected that he came to have breakfast so early.

We also packed up, Jiang Zhi and the three of them changed into the T-shirts they wore for work, each carried a shovel, and went out. I didn't go with it to join in the fun, although I went to pour a cup of tea or something I was still capable, but there must be no shortage of such people in other people's homes. Now we can't ask for help and money, and they can't afford to give food, so it is estimated that it is sponsored by friendship, which is obligatory, and people who can do things must invite these people who come to help to eat at noon and night, and if I go, I have to count it as a share.

I thought about it, so don't burden others. Besides, I also have something to do today, the first is that Weiwei and I have to do small work for Dad Jiang and Dad Qu, and plant mosquito repellent grass, this day is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and mosquitoes are all out, maybe there will be an outbreak of disease one day, there are many elderly and children in our family, it is better to be careful and plant it early.

I also want to go to the rice field in the afternoon to see, go out for so many days, my heart is strange, although the family goes every day, said that the length is not bad, but I don't see it, just can't let go.

Come together in the morning, after the children at home have washed up, they began to feed their own chickens, ducks and geese, and then they swept the yard together, and swept the mines in the yard into the dung pit used by Jiang Dad's dung (outside the wall of the backyard, some distance from the main house, so there was no smell at home), and after they all finished eating, after Jiang Zhi and the three of them left, their children drove the cattle and sheep and Chenchen and Sissi who were waiting for them outside up the mountain together.

After all the things that should be left at home, we started to get busy. A few of us have gained some experience in farming in the past few months, and we don't need to be reminded, each of us took a small bench and a small hoe. He began to dig up at the roots of the wall and the house, and soon dug out a pit, and then put on gloves, first spread the fertile soil with black soil to the bottom, and then planted mosquito repellent grass one by one.

When Jiang Zhi and I dug up these mosquito repellent grasses from the space, we brought some soil to each mosquito repellent grass and hid a large part of the roots in the soil. I didn't dare to pinch it, it was all loose and loose, this is the experience I learned from planting flowers.

It was planted in less than two hours. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive like this, so I secretly took out some of the space stream water and watered some of each mosquito repellent grass, muttering in my heart: "You can compete for energy." The best conditions of our family are available to you. If you are still picky, then you will never have a bright day in this world. If you can adapt, I promise you, every month, no, every half a month, I will feed you space water, you should know that this is a good thing, it is a big supplement for you. Think about it. ”

While I was muttering while watering, Dad Jiang and Dad Qu found a few bamboos that Li Cheng had cut back in the bamboo forest two days ago. The knife was broken into small strips, and a small fence was tied to the mosquito repellent grass.

I patted my head, yes, we still have a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese at home, if they are good, even if the mosquito repellent grass is angry, they will not be able to see the sun tomorrow. Or the old man thinks about it comprehensively, or people say that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure.

After planting mosquito repellent grass, it was noon, and the children drove their cattle and sheep back from the mountains, and it was Chenchen who brought them back safely with people and livestock.

I sent Han Han, who had just arrived home, out again, "Hanhan, do you know where your father and your Uncle Li are working today, you run fast, help your mother go and ask them, will you come back at noon?" "Actually, I wanted to go and see it myself, but when I went to someone's house at such a big point, it seemed that I was deliberately going to eat, so I asked Hanhan to take a look, and people didn't care about the meal at noon. If they eat there, we won't have to wait here. If people don't care, we will have to work for half a day, and the old scalper can only do his own belongings, and work as a coolie for other people's hungry families, I am reluctant.

I thought Hanhan didn't know where Zhang Xiukun's house was, but as soon as I said it, he happily agreed, and then ran away without a trace, followed by An An's little tail.

I muttered in the back: "Why is this old age, but the heart and eyes are not long, so I just ran away, and I don't know if I can find it." ”

Wei Wei was choosing vegetables next to her, and said: "Hanhan has no heart, in this village, Hanhan is much more familiar than you, I dare to say that he basically knows which house in our village lives in everyone." ”

She looked at me with a 'clear' look, smiled slightly, and explained: "These children have a good time playing with the children in the village, and every afternoon, they either go to this house to play or go to that house to play, and they can't get acquainted with it." Zhang Xiukun has two children in his family, a boy and a girl, and his son and the two young men in our family are iron buddies at this stage. Doesn't Han Han know about his family? ”

Listening to Weiwei's words, I felt a little weak in my heart, since the beginning of the last days, my concern for children has decreased a lot compared to before, I am always busy every day, I always think that now I am busy in order to create better living conditions for my children and families, but I didn't expect that there is less care, and I don't seem to be as close as before.

Should I rearrange my daily time, and discuss it with Jiang Zhi this night.

I remembered one thing again, and said to Weiwei: "Weiwei, you said that the children go to herd sheep in the morning and go out to play in the afternoon every day, is it a little unlearned, even if the year is not good now, but the children still have to be educated, they still have to learn, they can't grow up and don't even know a man." Don't they all say that no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. ”

These children only went to kindergarten, did not go to school, and the words we knew were taught by ourselves at home with cards, and they had never systematically learned pinyin and Chinese.

After listening to my words, Wei Wei nodded with deep sympathy: "I have also thought about this problem, if our children are allowed to do this, they are likely to become illiterate in the future, but there is no school now." ”

She sighed and shook her head.

"It's wrong for you to think so, how can you learn in school, now there is no school, let's open another one at home, and teach a few of our children. Isn't it more than enough for a few of our college graduates to teach them a few little hairy heads? "I think that human potential can be developed, and if I haven't been a teacher, it doesn't mean that I can't teach children well.

Wei Wei asked hesitantly, "Can we do it?" ”

"Oh, why can't we do it, our purpose is not to teach a few doctoral students, our purpose is to let a few children learn Braille, they can read books, they can add, subtract, multiply and divide, and learn some basic common sense of life. Let's find out what we are good at, and if it is suitable for children, we can teach. ”

I thought about it and said, "I have to find my mother-in-law for this matter, she has been a primary school Chinese teacher and class teacher for decades, and she is much more authoritative than us, so it is right for her to do this." ”

"What is wrong with me?" At this time, my mother-in-law and my mother also entered the kitchen, and as soon as I saw that I was going to cook, I came to cook.

I hurriedly said: "Mom, I just talked to Weiwei about children's education, we are now settled in the village, there is no place for children to go to school in these ten miles and eight townships, it turns out that the children in the village go to school in the county, now not to say that the school is still open, that is, it is open, with the changes in the external environment, we dare not let the children leave our side." But the children's education can't be delayed, and they can't be allowed to grow tall and not have long eyes. ”

Qu's mother was unhappy when she heard this, and said, "You said that whoever is tall will not have long eyes." I think our child is a top one, no one can compare, if you want to say that you don't have a long heart, our family belongs to you. ”

As soon as I heard it, this was provoking the fire, "Mom, what are you talking about, I'm not saying who is bad, I'm worried about whether I understand, worry!" ”

"I don't know what to worry about or not, anyway, who said that our children are not good." Qu's mother replied to me very resolutely.

I have some feelings that heroes have no place to fight, and I can't really talk about this situation with my mother, but fortunately I still have a reasonable old woman.

"I won't tell you, Mom, you said that what I said is right, should the children be educated." I'm sure my mother-in-law will agree with me.

"In-laws, don't be angry with Xiaoyi, what kind of character is Xiaoyi, you don't know what a damn person is, she is too real, she won't turn around if she says anything. However, what Xiaoyi just said also has some truth, our family is still a good child, but a good child must be educated to grow up in order to be better. "Mother Jiang first appeased Mother Qu, and then agreed with my point of view as expected.

"That's it, the children are playing crazy outside every afternoon now, and they are all stupid, oh, except for Xuanxuan and Sissi."

Wei Wei listened to it and whispered embarrassedly: "No exception, it's all the same stupid." ”

"If we don't let them learn Braille and anything else, they will grow up to be illiterate. Mom, our children are going to become illiterate, and you still say yes. "My last sentence was addressed to Qu's mother.

"Whose child is illiterate? Can't you old college students take the time to teach? You parents didn't do it, and you are embarrassed to say that your children can't do anything. After Qu Ma finished speaking, she also carried me on my back.

I know, this is my parent, I can't say anything about her.

"Okay, don't talk about your mother and daughter, it's all for our children, Xiaoyi's idea is very good, your mother is right, there are so many college students in our family, we can educate our children well, let's open a small school for these children in our own home." In the end, Jiang's mother made a final statement. (To be continued.) )
