Chapter 68 Apprenticeship
Chen Zigeng drew chess scores for Mr. Dongli in the yard, and Mr. Dongli looked at him while stroking his beard.
Li You looked at Mr. Li, who was a simple chess record that even a child could understand, should not be interested in him.
"Mr. Li," Chen Zigeng suddenly called Li You, "You can play chess too, right?"
Li You nodded: "Yes." But he learned it relatively late, that was after meeting his husband.
Chen Zigeng said: "Does there be many people in Beijing who can do it?"
Li You said: "Yes." In fact, not only in Beijing, but also in wealthy children will learn it. Chen Zigeng knows these things, which is amazing because he is in a place like Chenjia Village.
Li You was moved and most of the places in Daqi were Chenjia Village, and more people were villagers in Chenjia Village.
Chen Zigeng's eyes showed an envious expression: "In our village, only Ajie and I can do it, and Heidan and the others can't even recognize the words."
Speaking of this, Chen Zigeng paused: "But now, Hei Dan and the others will also have dozens of words, all of which are the names of medicinal herbs."
Mr. Dongli heard this and said, "Everyone in the village likes your sister very much, right? If it weren't for your sister, it wouldn't be as good as Chenjia Village."
Chen Zigeng nodded but shook his head again: "Sister didn't say that."
Mr. Dongli waited until Chen Zigeng continued to talk.
Chen Zigeng said: "Sister said that it was not her who helped Chenjia Village, but what she learned. If we want to live a good life in the future, we must read and write, and understand the truth so that we will not be bullied.
Just like a drug dealer lie to us, it is simply because we don’t understand anything. If everyone understands it in the future, everything can only be done according to the rules.
Everyone earns the money they deserve and walks the path they should take, then there will be no oppression and it will be fair.
So in addition to collecting herbs, we are all literate. Sister starts with what everyone is interested in to let everyone know the benefits of literacy. Then when the village makes enough money, Sister will also build a nationality school in the village and ask her to go and serve as a teacher."
Chen Zigeng became more and more excited as he spoke: "Sister said that without war and stability, everyone will have to read and read, learn what the ancestors left behind, and do new knowledge for future generations. In this way, they will live more and more thoroughly after passing on from generation to generation.
Just like the medicinal materials of Ajie, we should enjoy the shade of our predecessors and open the way for future generations."
After Chen Zigeng met Li You last time, Xie Liangchen told him a lot and told him what he would say next time he met Li You so that he would not say the wrong thing.
Although Xie Liangchen knew about it in advance, Chen Zigeng's words just now were all from the bottom of his heart, without any consideration. After saying this, he looked at Li You and Aweng beside him.
Chen Zigeng could see that the two people in front of him didn't think he was wrong.
As soon as he was happy, Chen Zigeng's mouth became faster: "The people are rich and the country is strong, and the people are peaceful and prosperous."
After saying that, Chen Zigeng's heart sank. Sister Ah won't let him mention this sentence to the public, because neither sister nor him should understand these things.
The reason why he knew was because Sister accidentally said it when she was dreaming.
After Sister woke up, he pestered Sister to tell him what she meant. He asked Sister where she saw it, and Sister said it was mentioned by General Song Xian.
Li You was indeed stunned. Chen Zigeng said something from "Wu Yue Chunqiu". Reading such books is to learn to govern the country and govern the country. Ordinary people would not choose such books to read.
Mr. Dongli's eyes were slightly far-reaching: "Is this what your sister taught me?"
Chen Zigeng weighed the pros and cons in his heart, then shook his head: "No... we heard General Song Xian say it." At this time, he shouldn't have lie, otherwise it would be easily exposed.
Li You nodded secretly, and it would not be surprising that Song Xian said this.
When a few people talk together, it’s getting late.
The aroma of food came from the kitchen, and Mr. Dongli grabbed Chen Zigeng: "Let's go, I'll take you back to Chenjia Village after dinner."
"Grandpa, Lord Li You don't have to send me off," Chen Zigeng raised his head, "When I came, I recorded the road and I could go back by myself."
Li You said in surprise: "The government office is not close to here, can you remember it by walking it?"
Chen Zigeng said: "From the yamen office and go south, go west to Sanzhao alley, turn in from Liutiao Lane, and be at the fifth door."
When Li You thought about this, it was really true.
Chen Zigeng continued: "I can find the yamen office and find it home. When I was a child, I followed my grandmother to the market. My grandmother told me that if we encounter something halfway through, we accidentally separated, so I asked me to go to the door of the yamen office to wait for her, so I am very familiar with the yamen office."
Li You looked at Chen Zigeng's clear eyes and couldn't help but reach out to touch the top of his head: "I have nothing to do today, I just happened to give you it. If you can't pull it away, let you go back by yourself."
Chen Zigeng responded happily.
After a few people had dinner together, Mr. Dongli took out a green cloth bag from the house and handed it to Chen Zigeng: "You sister is literate, so I will give you these books to you and let your sister read it to you."
Chen Zigeng was stunned at first, then his cheeks flushed and he couldn't say anything joyful. He saluted Mr. Dongli: "Thank you, Grandpa."
Mr. Dongli continued: "When you have nothing to do, come to my place to sit. If you don't understand something in the book, you can also come and find me."
Chen Zigeng's eyes lit up again: "Grandpa, are you going to be a guru for Zigeng?"
These words made Mr. Dongli and Li You stunned.
But soon Mr. Dongli smiled and his laughter was very cheerful.
He did have a love for Chen Zigeng, but he had not made up his mind to teach him. After all, he taught a few students, and the final result was not satisfactory. Giving books to Chen Zigeng was a test. Look at the child's qualifications.
Unexpectedly, their thoughts were repeated, but Chen Zigeng saw through it at a glance.
Mr. Dongli put away his smile and looked at Chen Zigeng carefully: "Why do you ask like this?"
Chen Zigeng said: "Sister said that books are very expensive. Not only did my grandfather give them to me, he also agreed to solve my doubts. Only the mentor who teaches me will do this.
If Grandpa is my husband, I can’t just take the book and leave.”
Mr. Dongli said, "What do you want?"
Chen Zigeng said in a regular manner: "You should give a great gift to your husband and give him a gift."
Li You looked at Chen Zigeng who bowed his head and bowed, his face full of surprise. It was something that many people dreamed of being a disciple of the teacher.
Chen Zigeng said it simply.
Mr....Li You turned to look at Mr. Dongli, wondering if the teacher would agree.
