Chapter 29: Literacy
After staring at Ye Erya a few times, Ye Xuanxuan still asked, "Erya, what's wrong?" What's on your mind? ”
Ye Erya raised her head, her face was full of worry, and she immediately replied, "Eldest sister, my mother and second brother are coming back." After saying that, there was a bitter look on his face.
Ye Xuanxuan took her hand funny: "Come back, come back!" It's not a big deal. ”
"Ahh Oh, yes! Oh, yes! Look at me, I forgot too. Ye Bao'er, who was still talking happily on the side just now, also changed her face, pouting and looking disappointed.
"That's it! It's not that they're back. My sister is not afraid of them, so don't worry, even if there is something really going on, my sister can protect you. And there's Daddy here! "Simply comforted them.
"Sister, can't we all go out to play in the future? You can't go to the town, can you? After listening to Ye Baoer's question, Ye Xuanxuan was also stunned. That's right, they can't go to town when they come back, and a lot of action has to be stopped. The main thing is that you can't make money anymore.
After thinking about it, Ye Xuanxuan also sighed and said, "No way!" I can only find another chance," after speaking, he pinched Ye Bao'er's little face again.
Looking at the thin bodies of the two younger siblings, Ye Xuanxuan, who had a yellow and thin face, felt uncomfortable. Probably this is the emotion left by Ye Daya! Ye Xuanxuan only thought that the discomfort in her heart was because of Ye Daya, but she never thought about herself.
Now I can't make money clearly, and I have suffered these two children who are only a few years old.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Ye Xuanxuan thought about it, and her head flashed. Busy letting Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er get close to her.
"Erya, Bao'er, do you want to read and write?" Ye Xuanxuan suddenly thought of the words she saw in the town, and she was so interested that she wanted to teach her younger brothers and sisters to learn to write.
Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er both looked at her with wide eyes and a look of surprise.
"Yes, Bao'er wants to learn." may really want to learn, Ye Baoer reacted first.
"Can the eldest sister teach you how to write?" Although Ye Erya looked incredulous, she still couldn't rub away Ye Xuanxuan's idea of wanting to teach them knowledge.
In fact, she just wanted to teach them some basics, after all, knowledge in modern times was not necessarily useful in ancient times.
When I have money in the future, I will send Ye Bao'er to study in the school, and Ye Erya can only teach by herself. Who let the girls here not go to school! In the end, it's all patriarchal!
"Then go get some water, and we'll have some on the floor and on the table. When the water dries up, you can write again, and you don't have to spend money. With that, he moved to the table next to the bed and sat down.
When the two of them came in, they officially began to study.
After thinking about it, Ye Xuanxuan decided to hand them over the easiest first.
Looking at Ye Xuanxuan, who was writing on the table with her fingers dipped in water, Ye Erya asked curiously, "When will the eldest sister write?" ”
This question made Ye Xuanxuan panic for a while, yes! I haven't told them yet, and I can't tell them the truth!
Looking up at Ye Erya, who was curious, he said, "This is what my mother taught me before, and you were all young at that time, so you didn't know it yet." ”
Ye Erya nodded in understanding and stopped talking.
Here she looked at the two small ones, and pointed to the ancient word 'Yi' that had just been written with water and taught them to read it. Then he writes the modern 'one' and 'one', and tells them that the meaning is the same, at least the expression of the place of the role of the place is different.
She didn't want them to learn a lot in a year or two, so she decided to teach them just a few first.
A few a day was enough, and all three of them had work to do. Lu Shi Ye Jin is even more troublesome at home.
After teaching the five words, Ye Xuanxuan taught them how to write their own names.
This made both children happy and made her more sure of the idea of teaching them every day. So the three of them agreed to start studying every day after dinner in the morning and review again after lunch. Of course, this is also secretly teaching and learning while working.
In this period, it is a small mountain village, and it is very good to have a showman. Here, as long as those who enter the academy to study, in the eyes of the peasants, they are all superior cultural people. As you can imagine, knowledge is also very important at this strange time!
There is no school in Yejia Village, and if children need to go to private school, they have to go to the next village or go to the town to study.
After they learned the small half-quarter seed, Ye Xuanxuan also asked them to take a break.
Ye Youfu, who was originally resting in the house, also rested, and came out to work in the yard, in fact, he also chopped firewood.
Hearing the three children muttering something in the house, he didn't care about it and let them go. I thought to myself, the relationship between his three children is really good! My heart is also full of relief.
Ye Xuanxuan saw that they had learned almost enough, especially Ye Bao'er. Maybe the grade is small and I am already interested, so I learn quickly. I was able to write a little bit one stroke at a time.
Hearing the sound of chopping wood outside, Ye Xuanxuan also went out of the door and called her sister and brother.
Ye Xuanxuan poured water and asked Ye Bao'er to bring some to Ye Youfu to drink. He also said to Ye Youfu that he would take his younger brothers and sisters out to pick wild vegetables, and the three of them took farm tools and baskets and left.
In fact, she wanted to take advantage of the absence of Lu Shi and Ye Bao'er to go to the mountains again to have a look.
It was also a coincidence that they were given more than a day this time, and it is not known how long it will take to get to town in the future. Even if she wanted to go again, she would have to wait a month later, and she didn't want to waste too much time.
With such thoughts, Ye Xuanxuan took her younger brothers and sisters to the mountain pass.
This time she decided to pick more herbs and put them in a cave near the mountain pass to dry.
The cave is made of stone, and because it is a mountain pass, the terrain is also high, and the mountain pass still has some slope angles. Because it is not completely sealed, there is still wind going in, and the inside is also clean, and the surrounding stones are also dry. In this way, you don't have to worry about getting wet in the cave when it's raining. The cave can be used as an all-natural storage box for the time being.
With this plan, we have to act immediately. So the three sisters and brothers went to the periphery again, and there were only many herbs in the periphery. And those herbs that do not grow in winter are unusually lush on the outskirts of the mountain.
When they arrived at the periphery, Ye Xuanxuan asked Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er to pick the herbs they had taught them last time.
She is looking for it while picking it, and she also hopes to find some more valuable plants, so that she can make more money sooner.
Along the way, I also found some ordinary herbs, and also dug up some root varieties of medicine.
There are gastrodia, banxia, white peony, etc., and the wild chrysanthemums and honeysuckles along the road are also picked by her.
Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er, who were picking herbs over there, also worked hard. Today, as a few days ago, even if they reached the periphery of the mountain, the small animals on the periphery turned a blind eye, looking harmless to humans and animals.
But because she wanted to make money early, even Ye Bao'er, who was the youngest, didn't tease those little animals. Occasionally, just a glance at the little rabbits and birds flying around him.
