Chapter 377
Dancing when you smell the chicken
Of course, Shi is not ignorant.
As a country woman, even if she doesn't understand some of the high-sounding big talks that Saburo said, she still understands the basic principles.
That's:
To be an official, you must be a good official with a clear conscience, and at least the people under your rule can fill your stomach.
This is how people get along with each other. The opponent is the one who comes and goes. Why do the people voluntarily give items produced in Saburo and other fields?
Isn’t it delicious to stay at home and eat it yourself? At least you can add some snacks during the Chinese New Year.
But those people would rather not eat them than give them to the third brother.
Moreover, these things don’t look much, but Shi’s family has lived here for several months and they know that the villages under Yangfeng County are relatively poor.
It is really not easy to accumulate such things.
It also further shows that the people saw Sanlang's intentions.
Shi was also very happy about this.
She and the old man were both farmers who did not understand the great principles. In the past, they urged Sanlang to study for the examiner to have a better way out for the family.
Now that Saburo can really do this, although his family's wealth is not yet obvious, Shi's family is already very satisfied.
At least the family can eat and wear well now, and the children can also study, and girls can buy a decent dowry in the future.
Compared with the past, life is much better now.
The Shi family is not greedy and they are not greedy for their wealth, so they never imagine how old the Sanlang will be to become in the future.
She doesn't understand, and she knows that there is no need to ask about the things she doesn't understand.
But one thing is said, the old man at home has also mentioned that you should be worthy of your conscience in life.
At least, when Sanlang becomes an official, he cannot just think about living a good life with his family.
It is also very important to make more people live a good life.
It can be said that Saburo did a good job at this point, and you can tell by the reactions of the people.
So it is unnecessary to refuse at this time. I took it seriously and thanked the villagers sincerely. Then Saburo continued to do practical things seriously. The most important thing is that Saburo continued to do practical things seriously.
Once this person gets busy, time passes very quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it seemed that the Chinese New Year was about to be celebrated, and of course it was still a bit short of time, but because of this, the affairs in Lord Li's yamen became even more busy.
However, Shi Fang Qingqing and his wife were quite satisfied with the winter in Yangfeng County.
In the past, it often snowed after the twelfth lunar month in Beijing. The weather was so cold that it was absolutely impossible to go out to play outside, and even if you sit in the house wither, you had to burn the fire.
And this south-eastern Yangfeng County does not seem as cold as the north. Not to mention heavy snow, even the snowflakes are not visible.
At most, after entering the ninth century, the cold wind blew more like a person's face than before.
However, the cotton coat doesn't need to be worn as thick as in the capital or in the hometown, especially in the past two years, he has been dressed in new cotton coats made by his son and daughter-in-law for him. Shi Shi was so happy.
However, the fat grandson was a little unhappy when it was cold, because the grandmother and mother would wear two more clothes for him.
The whole person is so scattered that he is not as clever as before. He is prone to falling and now he cannot go out to play every day like before.
His mother was either reading books or going out to see a doctor, and occasionally someone came to the door for treatment.
As for grandma, she didn't have much time to accompany her family to prepare for the New Year.
The third family cannot return to Beijing for the New Year, so Shi and his daughter-in-law have to estimate the New Year gifts they send back to Beijing, as well as gifts from their hometown.
In addition, Li Xiuping has not been working for a year in Yangfeng County, so he has not known many friends here.
However, we must also establish a good relationship with local gentry and local rich people, so that we can better build the county town. Therefore, as the county magistrate’s wife, Fang Qingqing, must consider the issue of ceremonies given to each family at the end of the year.
At this time, she needed to discuss with her mother-in-law, and for several days she had no time to deal with her son who was getting bigger and bigger and bigger requests.
Well, Diandian said that he was unhappy!
Children are energetic, so they don’t care whether it’s windy or rainy outside, they just want to go out for fun.
But grandma and parents had no time, and they were worried about letting him go out alone, so Diandian was about to cry in grievance.
So inevitably, Shi and Fang Qingqing began to feel soft-hearted.
Most of the time, Fang Qingqing still wanted to indulge him, mainly because she believed that Diandian could only play presumptuously in the past two years.
After that, I am afraid that his father would ask his master to start enlightening him. Once I start studying, I am afraid that there will be no time for the next twenty years.
In modern times, children started to go to kindergarten at about three or four years old, but the ancient times when they started to entertain at the age of three or four was different from the children's fun in kindergarten.
It's real. I started reading at the age of three or four, and I started dancing until dark when I smelled the chicken.
On this point, Fang Qingqing agrees with her husband's words. Although she also thinks that the child is too young, she must not start working hard from an early age for a better future?
At the beginning, Li Xiuping discussed with Fang Qingqing that he could start asking his husband to enlighten him when he was three years old.
Li Xiuping was busy with official business and naturally didn’t have the time to teach his children. Moreover, his good study did not mean that he also knew how to teach and educate people. It would be better to invite a professional teacher to come back.
After all, Diandian's current conditions are much better than when Li Xiuping was studying. Since his family has created a good environment for him, he has no reason not to grasp it.
Even Shi Shi said early in the morning: "My eldest grandson is much smarter than the third brother."
Li Xiuping naturally replied: "Well, he is better than me, so he should be the top scorer in the exam."
One sentence blocked all the words Fang Qingqing wanted to say, and even wanted to light wax for her son in her heart.
Look, your father and grandma have booked you the number one spot so early, and you probably won’t have much time to have fun in the next twenty years.
Even Li Xiuping had planned to start school and then he would follow the word "wen" named by the children of the eldest and second brothers.
Give Diandian a big name, and then discuss with your husband to see which word is better.
Since he knew that his future study would be very hard, there was only one to one year left, Fang Qingqing still felt sorry for his son.
Therefore, now try to satisfy him and spend more time with his children.
However, there was a northwest wind blowing today, and it was really cold outside. Fang Qingqing didn't want to go out and make trouble, of course it wouldn't be possible for Shi to go out and suffer from the cold.
After all, my mother-in-law is not young anymore and suffered a crime when she was young. Now she still needs to maintain her body.
Some time ago, a farmer's family had a good harvest of sweet potatoes and sent many to the back house of the county government office, indicating that they wanted to try it for Mrs. Li and the old lady.
It was hard to refuse, so he used other things as a gift, and Fang Qingqing took over all the sweet potatoes.
