The man on the side immediately said: "Since it is for the child to eat, then my family's rice is added to your rice, and I will definitely not be short of the child's mouthful." ”

Several men also patted their chests like this, they thought that they knew Lin Piao as a person, he never cared about the door, and he never shortened the children, and he was the most willing to the children, so how could they be embarrassed to let their children eat Lin Piao's rice for nothing, after all, they still had to be able to carry this matter clearly when they were studying there.

"Don't be busy, the autumn harvest is so hard, and the grain will be dried and eaten when the time comes, you make your own family first, and I don't have to worry about it."

They were talking here, talking and talking about going to the big banyan tree, and there were still many people sitting under the big banyan tree basking in the last autumn sun, and they were drying the newly harvested rice and peanuts at their feet, and chatting while raising their eyes while guarding the grain, and watching Lin Piao and his party approach, the conversation became dense.

"If Lin Piao's brother really knows how to do it, he doesn't need to get the fields himself, and some people in the village are rushing to help him plow the fields and harvest grain."

"That's it, I don't think he plans to, otherwise he would find another man to marry at such an age, and a man at home is called steadfast."

"Why wouldn't he plan, if you want me to say that this brother is the most shrewd, you see that these things he does all day long are all for Shen Hong and him, a bunch of students follow Shen Hong's ass to learn literacy, it is difficult to learn a child, but Shen Hong can rely on these people to live, and when the time comes, the children in the village will be ignored and the children in the village will be left all the way, and they will live their own happy lives."

Several people's eyes fell on the two pillars: "You just said that the two pillars, you see what you are catching before and after running all day long?" His mother also coaxed people around, and he was also like a fart, and when people made a fortune, he was still in the village, and people didn't want to take him. ”

Their voices were not loud or small, and they vaguely drifted into their ears along the wind, and they were so far away that they were so drunk that they couldn't go up and be tough, so they smiled: "Erzhu, how many things have you been doing in exercise classes this month?" Count it to your sister-in-law. ”

When Erzhu heard this, he really took it seriously: "There were seven rabbits, three cauliflower snakes, five pheasants, and two small pigeons, and the rest were too small to count. ”

"Wow, it's amazing, even if you can't read and practice your own skills, you can live a much better life than some people."

Erzhu nodded excitedly, only as his sister-in-law was encouraging himself, after all, he is really not very talented in reading, and now he only knows the words, and the writing is still crooked, not to mention any rhyme, unlike Ergou, it seems that he was born with that string in his head, Shen Hong can understand what he said about Pingqian rhyme feet with a little talk.

Some people who haven't eaten meat for more than 10 days under the big banyan tree: "......"

When they were far away, they dared to continue: "Lin Piao's mouth is really unforgiving, and he will return every word." ”

"Wait and see, the cow is so big, it seems that Shen Hong is the most powerful person in the whole village, as if he can make the two pillars and two dogs who follow him live well, and he is not the only one in the village who is studying, and then see who is more beautiful."

Zheng Qiu patted Lin Piao's shoulder and sighed in his heart: "Don't be angry with those people." ”

"I didn't take it to heart, but when I bumped into it, I definitely didn't have the reason to pretend not to hear." This is not worth it, so they have to pick up and scold them back.

Although Zheng Qiu couldn't hear it when he walked away, he knew that what they were talking about now couldn't be seen how proud she could be, and someone could compare him to extinguish his prestige and so on, which was also the reason why Zheng Qiu never liked to stop there and gossip when he passed by the big banyan tree before, whether it was this family or that family was proud, it was not his own family that was proud, and it was better to do more about it.

When they returned home, the second aunt heard movement in the yard and put down the bowl to come out to look, and before they reached the door, they heard the voice of the second pillar: "Mother! We're back. ”

When Lin Piao and the others walked into the courtyard, they saw that the food had been arranged, and the second aunt and a bunch of children were setting up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Why did you come back so early? Did you eat it, just sat down and ate together, I thought about today's bean skin soaked too much, fried so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat you, this is back. ”

"That's right, we're just thinking about your cooking, second aunt!" The three of them turned around and got their own dishes and chopsticks to set them up, and sat down to eat.

Shen Hong sat beside him, saw him sit down, and looked at him sideways: "Sister-in-law, are you okay today?" ”

Lin Piao twisted his face and smiled at him: "That's definitely good, I don't suffer a loss." ”

"That's good."

"That's definitely good, you have to be like me in the future, and you won't suffer."

"Okay."

Lin Piao woke up: "No, it's not like this, if you really become an official in the future, you still have to suffer the loss, but you can lose on the surface, but you can't lose on the inside." ”

"Okay, Hong wrote it down."

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong's serious appearance and suspected that he was teaching bad children, and began to teach some of the laws of officialdom's old fritters at a young age.

After eating, the children cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks by themselves, and did not leave after that, but held the bamboo slips they carved in the yard and began to continue to frown and recite books, and asked the people around them from time to time: "Have you memorized it?" ”

"Nope."

"Where are you carrying it?"

"Don't ask! It's only half. ”

The overall atmosphere was quite complaining, Lin Piao leaned over to take a look, and it happened that Zhou Xishan was next to him, and it happened that he would meet him standing aside, so he came up and said to him: "The recent class has been a lot tighter, and I have to remember it all the hard work next to me, and I will not continue to memorize the things I learned yesterday today, and I will soon have to memorize new things, and the children will not be able to keep up, and they will not be able to leave after school, and they are all trying to memorize." ”

Lin Piao looked at the young man who was sitting by the small stove and reading by himself, but there was a kind of aura that shocked the audience, and thought to himself, Ah, take out the style of a strict teacher, the previous teaching started with literacy, and then it was to read, recite, and write silently, and after all of them were memorized, they had to consolidate for another day or two, and continued to recite until they were completely familiar, and now everyone has a little foundation, and this is going to hell mode.

But staying in the hall like this is a nightmare, Lin Piao stepped forward, sat down at Shen Hong's table in the hall, and looked at the book in his hand that was densely packed with small black characters, and he already felt dizzy.

"Shen Hong, let the students go home first, you assign homework homework, let them memorize it at home, and come to the spot check the next day."

"No one is looking at them, not necessarily back."

"The person who is willing to carry it is stared at and can carry it all night, and the person who is not willing to carry it is useless for you to force him for a while, it is better to be loose and choose by yourself."

They are not a closed school here, and they cannot afford to refund tuition fees and deposit deposits for high-pressure education, and people can only rely on themselves to change their fate, and relying on others to watch and force them is only a temporary result.

Shen Hong thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Nahong told them to go home first, and then continue tomorrow." ”

Shen Hong doesn't have much affection for these people, but he has a scale in his heart, now that it is autumn, it will be winter soon, and the exam will start in the spring of next year, and it will not be the time for the exam to start He will stop teaching, and the preparation time required before the exam will not be less, and then he will go to Ludong Academy, and then he may not come back.

He couldn't teach these people for a few days, and he knew this very well, but he always had to do things well, and this was his principle, and he had to teach at least a few scriptures and some simple poems.

However, he did not tell his sister-in-law these words, because if he said such words, he would probably never come back after the spring exams next year, and his sister-in-law would think that he was cold-hearted.

The students scattered in all directions, each holding bamboo slips in their hands, and they were all carrying them on their backs as they went, and the people who were walking and chatting outside after eating along the way were amazed when they saw them: "These babies have all fallen into their bookbags, and I didn't realize it before, and when Shen Hongyi was teaching, it was as if all the children in the village loved to read and loved each other." ”

"Where, they are afraid of Shen Hong, you won't know, my nephew is also studying over there, what Shen Hong said to memorize, he is also reciting when he sleeps, he is also reciting in his dreams, and he is reading those things in his dreams."

"Well, you said that it would be nice to look at it like this, if only I could let my daughter miss it too."

"Sister-in-law, you really love your daughter, but how can there be a woman who is literate, unless you can find a person who can also read and write to marry and marry in that good place, otherwise put those illiterate people in the house, as soon as you hear that your daughter has this ability, maybe you don't want her to be honest."

She thought about it, but then she changed her mind: "You said that there are so many literate children in our village now, and no matter who they marry in the future, they will all be literate, and even if they don't have the good fortune to marry to the county government, they will not be bad in any case." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't say that, it's a good thing for a man to be literate even if he doesn't test for fame, what is this for, men make money outside, and they always know more about literacy is a skill, but how can a woman show her face, it's okay to do some work by herself in the village, but if you go out and walk around, it's definitely not possible."

"What you said is true, but I didn't have an iron heart after eating the scales, so I inquired first, I took this time to take a walk to Lin Piao to ask, and I didn't want Shen Hong to bother teaching, just ask him if he could give him a place, I asked my daughter to bring a bench by herself, sit in the corner and listen to what they are learning.

Chapter 45

The two chattered, thinking that they knew that their sister-in-law couldn't persuade her, and it was hard to say anything when it came to this: "Then go and take a look, I don't know if Lin Piao is at home this time." ”

She said this, but she still felt that this matter was unreliable, not to mention how unreliable it was for women to read and write, so she went to ask Lin Piao now, and Lin Piao was not necessarily willing to agree, there are boys in the small private school, what does it look like to stuff a girl in? What a serious person can do?

The two of them walked all the way, but their family did not live in this direction, but Tian was not in this direction, and the people on the road were surprised when they saw them: "What's the matter here?" It's rare to see you two walking this way. ”

"My sister-in-law's business."

"What's the matter with your sister-in-law? If you want to buy tofu skin, you have to go there, although Zheng Qiu is usually here, but he keeps all the tofu at home. ”

"You know, my sister-in-law is ...... I want to ask Lin Piao, whether to accept female students. She was embarrassed when she said it.

"Ouch? Really? Big sister, why can't you figure it out so much, don't let go of good things, take them to read to your daughter? Besides, if you have the energy, you might as well get pregnant with another child as soon as possible, you are a girl in this family, right? The first one didn't have a livelihood, which was really miserable. ”

Ying's sister-in-law couldn't hold back her face when she said: "I'll just ask, just ask, my girl is quiet all day long, and she sits at home, and if she can sit on the courtyard wall here and listen to what they are talking about, it will be considered a gain of knowledge." ”

The people on the side heard her say this, and they gathered around and grabbed her: "Sister Ying, this idea can't be moved, do you know how much money and food Shen Hong needs to study over there, you sent the girl over and the things are gone, and it doesn't sound good to say, but you haven't caught anything." ”

"I know I know, I'll ask, I'm really just asking." Sister-in-law Ying half-pushed and half-refused to break out of the crowd.

When everyone saw that she was not going to listen to persuasion, they didn't bother to say more, and looked at her back as she walked towards Lin Piao's house: "Yes, let her ask, see if Lin Piao gives her a good face, how many children are in her pocket, so loud?" The girls are going to be sent to study! ”

Sister-in-law Ying didn't care what they were saying behind their backs, she held her hands and sweated, hesitated at the door for a moment, and was about to knock on the door when she heard a voice from the side.

"Sister-in-law, who are you looking for?"

Lin Piao was coming out of his second aunt's house after eating, and happened to see a figure hesitating at the door of his house.

The person standing at the door turned around and saw that it was him who bluffed, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and he took a breath before saying: "Piao'er, I am your sister-in-law, and I live on the small slope above the big banyan tree, so you may not have seen me much." ”

"Oh, sister-in-law Ying, okay." Lin Piao continued to look at her and waited for the following.

Lin Piao looked at her like this, but she stammered a little: "What about me...... I'm this ...... I was like, "Wow!" Actually, I just wanted to ask if you accept female students here, I have a girl at home who doesn't like to move or play, and she sits at home all day, and I think she can sit so well with her butt and her brain is smart, it would be nice if she could read a few words. ”

"Schoolgirl?" Lin Piao didn't expect their business to be so successful, not only male students came to the door, but now there are female students who have come to the door.

The people on the side followed, standing not far away and listening to the excitement: "How can you say that Shen Hong can accept female students, how can there be a male gentleman to accept female students, no matter how young Shen Hong is, there is no such thing in the world, it doesn't sound like words." ”

Lin Piao glanced at the melon-eating crowd next to him, and he had newly collected peanuts one by one, and he was still peeling peanuts in his hands, so that they could be idle.

Lin Piao's smile looked at Ying's sister-in-law: "Shen Hong's side, I definitely don't accept female students, but although I don't have Shen Hong's ability, I can barely recognize a few words, and I don't say anything about being a gentleman, just recognize my side, let me take it, listen to the class on one side of the boy, give her a small corner for her to sit on the other side, when the time comes, you send the child over by the way, just bring a bench and a small table, just start to accept few students, all use their own tables and chairs, and then there is an extra table that can't sit down, they all bring their own small tables." There are small benches, which need to be prepared by the family themselves. ”

"I know, I know, I'm sure she'll be ready to come back."

The person next to him shook his head when he heard this, and whispered to each other: "It's over, the Ying girl's house is finished, this is for a girl, and I don't know how many things I will have to provide in the future." ”

"He has accepted a girl, and he must not take advantage of the opportunity to open his mouth, you have never heard of anyone who accepts girls?"

Sister-in-law Ying hesitated, she was also afraid of this, if she wanted too much, she would not be able to go home and say: "By the way, I heard that there is another person named Shu Yu, this must be given, I don't know how much to prepare." ”

Lin Piao scratched his ears, he almost wanted to let a few people in the distance change places to eat peanuts, how could this mouth be more coercive than him: "Well, following me and following Shen Hong are definitely different, I don't have Shen Hong's knowledge and ability, I definitely can't be the same thing, let alone a son and a half daughter!" Since the girl can only be counted as half, this bundle of Yu must only be counted as half, and he said that this girl can only feed her mouth, so she can come here and give her that portion of rice and food. ”

Ying's sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, and for the first time in her life, she couldn't tell where it was said well, but she felt sour and very sour: "Then I'll go back and prepare some rice and grain, and I'll send it all over tomorrow." ”

A few people eating melons on the side were angry when they heard this, and the sons of their families were not willing to send them to read and write, thinking that it would be more cost-effective to wait for Shen Hong to be admitted to the children's examination and then send them over.

What a? The world has never heard of such a thing, doesn't this make their money and rice in vain? It is better to raise a male baby than a female baby.

They immediately threw the peanut shell in their hands and took two steps forward: "Lin Piao, what do you mean by this, why is it that girls are so cheaper than boys, but you can't do it with boys!" Do you say that? ”

Lin Piao looked at him innocently, and sacrificed the iron fist of feudalism: "Sister-in-law, look at me, I am a brother, we Shen Hong is a boy, a Wenqu star, he must teach students more expensive than me to teach students, or sister-in-law You plan to send your son to me here to learn, in that case, I don't mind, as long as you don't mind him in the future, let people know that he was taught by his brother, not to mention that the boy is expensive, and the boy is expensive, isn't it." ”

The man was so frightened by him that he was speechless, and the second aunt and the second pillar next door also rushed out when they heard the sound, and when they saw that there were too many people, they hurriedly threw down the peanut shell and left.

Sister-in-law Ying lingered for a while, her heart was about to fly home, and she didn't stand for a while before she hurried home to prepare her things, thinking about sending her daughter over to study tomorrow.

waited for the second aunt to leave, and then came up worriedly: "You really agreed?" ”

"Agreed, do you think there's anything wrong with it?"

"I've heard it all, you just want money for rations, it's not like you want something like that, you want less, and there will be a lot of people who will come here to join in the fun when they want to get some rations, and how can that scene be endured when the time comes."

"Auntie, don't worry, there are a few people in our village who are willing to read to their daughters, even if they are just a little ration, they may not be able to come to a few, anyway, it is just a matter of knowing a few words, and they are not here to become talented women, and it is nothing to be an auditor."

"It's also true, it's rare to be willing to let the girl be literate, just take care of one more, I've probably heard a little, her daughter in the family is quiet and honest, everyone sees it and says it's good, and it's certainly not as naughty and difficult to manage as a boy."

Lin Piao nodded: "That shouldn't be wrong." ”

In my heart, I was thinking about the bottom rules of this world, and the upward channel was very closed, and the biggest prerequisite for rising was literacy; men could read and write, and women could read and read poems, scores, and recipes.

He was not Pudu saving people's lives, and he could actually help very little, so he could only say that when he was still in the village, he tried to make as many people as literate as possible.

On the other side, Ying's sister-in-law happily returned home and told the man in the family about the incident, which made the man angry, and the two quarreled on the spot.

"I'm just going to make her literate! She was born frail, and she may not be able to do farm work in the future, so if she does not take this opportunity to learn a little bit at this time, she will not be able to live in the future! ”

The two quarreled back and forth, and when it came to money, Sister-in-law Ying said that as long as she prepared some rations, her man's anger suddenly went down halfway.
