Chapter 41: Literacy

Come on, let's all eat quickly, don't be reluctant to move chopsticks, the oil will be greasy when it's cold! ”

Mrs. Song looked at these children and grandchildren under her knees, and she was very satisfied, she didn't fight or rush to breathe humble, they were all good children!

"Then I'll eat first!"

Song Haitao grinned and picked up a dumpling, opened his mouth and bit it, and the soup in it instantly splashed out, making him a hand.

He bit the meat filling in his mouth, hissing hotly, but he didn't spit it out, chewed a few times, and swallowed it.

"Oops, it's so delicious!"

Even though it was hot enough, he still praised it, and the flesh on the side of his mouth had been scalded, and he was unconscious.

"You're blowing it!"

Mrs. Song held her forehead, feeling that this little son was hopeless, and such a big person was not as stable as Han Ling.

"What a good thing, let you eat blind!"

Song Hailong was really worried that if he didn't eat a few bites, something would happen to him, such as burning his throat or choking on his throat.

"It's delicious!"

He looked for a rag to wipe his hands, and then ate the second one was much smarter, and first blew lightly, and then chewed and ate slowly

Song Jinyue ate a few dumplings, the filling was mixed by Mrs. Song, and the taste can be said to be very good, but just a little, she missed the modern oil and spicy seeds used to dip.

However, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as chili pepper in this world, and pepper is generally used instead of spicy food, which feels a pity, but she also sells chili oil in her space, but it can't be easily taken out.

Song Jinyue sighed silently in her heart, the others did eat deliciously, a large pot of dumplings soon bottomed out, everyone's belly was round, and their mouths were oily.

"Oh, it's so supportive!"

Song Jinnan covered his belly and lay on the straw mat without moving, it seemed that he was really holding on.

Song Jinyue was afraid that he would accumulate food, so she let him drink some warm water to rinse his mouth, washed his hands and mouth, carried him to the yard, and let him walk a few laps slowly.

Han Ling didn't eat like Song Jinnan, but he also washed his hands and mouth, followed out, and walked slowly like Han Ling.

"Second uncle, do you have any ideas?"

Song Jinyue came to Song Hailong, who was squatting on the ground and chopping wood, and asked in a low voice, "For example, read a book or something?" ”

Song Hailong was obviously stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of some past events in his thoughts, he also fantasized about studying as a child, being a big official, serving the country, and being a useful person.

I also used to dig for some paper and pen in private, ran to the town ten miles away, squatted at the gate of the academy, and eavesdropped on the clear reading sound of the students inside and the tireless teachings of the master.

After his father's death, the fields suffered disasters every year, his sister-in-law had to split up, his younger brother was young, and his mother was not in good health, so he had to give up this illusory dream and shoulder the responsibility of a man.

"You girl, what are you talking nonsense!" Song Hailong put away his emotions and smiled lightly, "Your second uncle and I are a reckless horseman, and I can't stand the sour and rotten spirit of the literati!" ”

He said lightly, but he really let go, since some things are known to be impossible, why force them, there is more than one way in life.

Song Jinyue actually just remembered that in the county town, when they passed by a few people dressed as scholars, there was a certain look in his second uncle's eyes that inadvertently leaked, so she asked.

It seems that she guessed it, but when time and space are truly integrated in the future, it can almost be said that the study of literature will not be useful at all.

However, it is always good to study civility and reason, and if conditions permit, it is always good to read more books.

Song Jinyue thought about it like this, and when she went to the county seat to receive rice a few days later, she went to the bookstore and spent 500 yuan to buy a three-character scripture and a hundred family names.

"Second uncle, you have time to teach me to read, maybe I can use it in the future!"

The fact that her uncle is literate is in the memory of the original owner, but the original owner is illiterate, so she has to disguise it, right?

"Good!"

Song Hailong hooked his lips and agreed, but he couldn't see that this little niece was quite knowledgeable, before he taught Song Haitao, this kid was reluctant, and he only learned some simple words and was unwilling to learn again.

"Not only me, but also Jin Nan and Han Ling, they all have to be literate!"

Song Jinyue couldn't say anything, and dragged the two boys with bewildered faces over.

"That's it, I'll take you to read!"

For himself, Song Hailong has no ideas in the future, his children are willing to learn, and of course he is willing to support.

In the days that followed, Song Jinyue and her two younger brothers began to learn to read and write with Song Hailong.

Within a few days, Song Jinyue memorized all the three-character scriptures and the surnames of the hundred families, and also recognized some characters, which surprised Song Hailong and others.

"The little niece is really smart!"

Song Haitao looked admiring, anyway, he couldn't listen to these things, how could there be those truths in the world, whoever is powerful is the truth.

"Cheng, that's all for today!"

Song Hailong also tested the learning results of Song Jinnan and Han Ling, and the two boys could already write some simple words on the ground with tree branches, which could be regarded as a small improvement.

"It's all good, reward you for eating candy!"

Song Haitao grabbed a handful of candy from Mrs. Song's house, and each person divided two sugars.

"Don't say anything when you go out, or you won't be able to eat again!"

After Song Haitao finished distributing the sugar, he did not forget to warn Han Ling and Song Jinnan.

The two boys got the candy, and they were very happy.

The Song family has a good life, but it is not easy for other families, relying on the little rice sent by the county every day to save money and live a difficult life.

Many families originally wanted to settle down and go to the county to find some work, it doesn't matter if they work long or short, just make some money.

But Necheng thought of the county seat, which was densely packed with people, all of whom were looking for work, and there was no shortage of people anywhere.

Song Jinyue came to get the rice and came to the market where it was crowded with people looking for work, and it was no surprise that his two uncles were inside.

"Second uncle, little uncle, you've all been here for a few days, and you can't find a job, let's go home first!"

Song Jinyue didn't want these two people to stand here for a day, and now due to the large number of poor and displaced people crowded into various places, it is really not easy to find a job here.

"You go back first, let's wait a little longer."

Song Hailong shook his head, although he said that he made some money by selling the wild boar, he couldn't spend a lifetime.

"It's better to go to the pig market to catch a few piglets and raise them, and then buy some chickens, and we can make money if we raise them!"

This is a well-thought-out statement, even if you find a job now, the wage will not be high, and the long-term work is less than 100 yuan a day, so it is conceivable that these two people will not make much money if they want to do short-term work.

Except for Song Hailong's brothers, many people in the village are in this team, and most of them are like the brothers, who have stood here for several days.

Song Hailong seriously considered Song Jinyue's words, and the feasibility was not very high.

They are next to the mountains, and if they want to raise pigs, they don't have much food in their hands, but they can go a little further and let them forage freely, but not in the winter.
