Chapter 80 Interest Exchange
Use a wooden stick to practice writing on the sand table. After writing, you can write it again after flattening it. In this way, you don’t need to pay special money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone when you first study.
The reason why scholars are so expensive is that ordinary rural people cannot afford to read...
Isn’t it because, except for Shu Xiu who wants to go to school, he buys books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
These people in the family only offer scholars like Saburo. Isn’t this the reason?
Even if Saburo doesn’t have to study hard and has good grades, he often needs to buy books, pens, ink, and paper, and so on. The monthly expenses are also quite large.
Now the old Li family does not have the confidence to support several people to study at the same time, so Fang Qingqing needs to find a way to reduce expenses.
The sand table is very simple. Old Man Li and his two sons were together. In less than half an hour, they made large sand tables for all four grandsons.
It was placed directly in the yard, and Fang Qingqing taught them how to write.
For her, it is easier to write and draw on the sand table with branches than to write with a brush.
Therefore, the words written by Fang Qingqing look very good.
She wrote one, and several nephews were writing alongside each other, and they were still muttering it.
Fang Qingqing wrote very slowly, so she started from the simplest one, two, three, and four, and taught very seriously.
Even though Damao Ermao and the others wrote it like a ghostly talisman, Li's mother looked around and her eyes were moist.
How great it is, not only sons, but also a few grandchildren can read.
Their old Li family is really going to change their lintel!
In the past, the scholar-in-law also took the time to teach his nephews for a few days. Basically, he taught the words he could read this time, but he forgot everything when he went home and took the exam next time.
There is no need to mention writing, it really doesn’t have this condition at home.
The plan proposed by Fang Qingqing now happens to be suitable for several children from the Lao Li family.
So, Fang Qingqing is very busy every day. In addition to her own study and reading, she also has to teach a few children.
Then I have to take the time to learn medical skills and think about ways to make money. What is the reason to openly take out the food she has stocked up in the space warehouse?
As a result, I didn’t feel much about my husband who had gone to the provincial capital to study every day.
The people from the Lao Li family did not deliberately mention Li Sanlang in front of Fang Qingqing, but because of their considerateness, they were afraid that the child would not be able to bear the pain of separation between the couple.
But I didn't know that Fang Qingqing was busy now and didn't care whether Li Sanlang was at home or not.
Anyway, the system has settled with her recently and the points she can get after the children learn to read. She is busy with all kinds of things every day, so Fang Qingqing forgot that she has married and her husband is out.
As a result, Li Sanlang's classmates who were still in the county school came to Hongqiao Village in person and sent a letter to the people of the old Li family.
There are two letters in total, and they are specifically specified for parents and daughter-in-law.
There are everyone and some small family, so no one thinks there is any problem with this arrangement.
That classmate had a relative at home in the provincial capital and would run back and forth between the two sides every month. Li Sanlang noticed it before the New Year.
So I made a special agreement with my classmates that when he arrived at the home school to study, he might also write a letter back.
I could ask my classmates’ relatives to help bring it back, and the enthusiastic classmate said at the time that he could help him send it back to Lao Li’s house to his parents every time.
Of course, classmates are not just kind-hearted, but the relationship between the exchange of interests.
But the price is that Li Sanlang can afford and is willing to pay, so it doesn't matter. And every time he sends the letter back, he can ask his classmates to help him read the letter to his family.
What’s more, if my family has something to say to him, you can ask your classmates to write it down and then ask your relatives to help take it to the provincial capital school.
Although the young wife also began to learn to read with him, Li Sanlang knew that Qingqing was smart but did not dare to be arrogant and thought that his wife was a genius. In less than a month, she had improved to the point where she could read and write letters independently.
So the people from the Lao Li family were counting on each other, and they all looked at Sanlang's classmate and listened carefully to his reading of the letter.
In the letter, Li Sanlang said that he had arrived in the provincial capital successfully and was fortunate to be appreciated by the Master of the Prefecture and successfully enrolled.
Now the formal classes have begun, and they are both food and accommodation in the university of the university. The teacher is kind and friendly, and his life is settled very well, etc.
A typical report of good news but bad news. Anyway, Li Sanlang's letter said that there is a good place in the provincial capital, and the beauty is kind-hearted and his study there is simply paradise.
Not to mention Fang Qingqing, even Li’s father, Li’s mother, Li Dalang, and others didn’t believe it. Sanlang just didn’t want them to worry.
However, everyone knows that he has settled there and is very happy. It will be a provincial examination in a few months.
Sanlang once said that the previous exams were only the beginning, and only after passing the provincial examination, his imperial examination journey was truly considered to have begun.
Then, the classmate said that if the family members had anything to say, he could tell him that he could help write it down and ask his relatives to take it to Xiuping.
The people from the Old Li family were stunned for a while, but Fang Qingqing was the first to react. Isn’t Xiuping talking about Li Sanlang?
But my family is used to calling his nickname, and the name given by Master is only used by Li Sanlang when he is studying outside.
As for the letter to the young wife alone, Fang Qingqing just smiled shyly and said:
"I'm also recognizing words recently. I have a book called "Thousand Characters" in my hand, so I can try to read it through myself."
Everyone expressed their understanding. The letter may be a whisper between the young couple, so of course it is not convenient to say it to everyone.
The classmates didn't understand the actual situation, while the rest of the Lao Li family were different. They all thought that Fang Qingqing had learned a lot and could now read and write letters independently.
Fang Qingqing happened to have this idea, and next time she could try to ask her to read the letter.
Anyway, she is not already studying and can teach the children. As for how the learning progress is, as long as Li Sanlang doesn’t explain it clearly to his family.
They don’t know what they know, just say that they have learned to recognize words and reading letters is not a natural thing to be able to grasp?
The Li family didn't know that Li Sanlang and his classmates had a mutual benefit, but they just unilaterally believed that they would come here to bring the letters to him without saying that.
Based on the principle of coming and going, he treated Li Sanlang's classmates well. When he left, he specially put some soy milk and tofu in the bamboo tube for him to take him back.
It can be distributed to other classmates or other students, which is also Fang Qingqing's calculation.
It is a propaganda method. She is determined to expand the Li family's business, so it is not just a stall.
If you can open a shop in the county town, it should be the easiest to attract business next to the school, right?
I heard from my brother Sanlang that some students have good families and the food in the school is just enough to fill their stomachs.
Every now and then, there are students who are not short of money who use their lunch and evening breaks to eat.
If we can make a name for ourselves among the students, the business will be stable in the future.
