This was the rhetoric that Zhao Huanyu had thought up early on. Tie Dou was still young and she didn't want to tell him too much about the bad things that happened to the Liu family and their daughter.
Little Tiedou really didn't think much about it and happily followed her back. After dinner, he recited what he learned today in a high-spirited voice, which was unanimously praised by the Zhao family.
Mr. Gao smiled from ear to ear, never expecting that his old Zhao family could also have a scholar.
I can learn so much knowledge on my first day of school, and I might even be able to become an examiner in the future!
"Tie Dou, can you teach me how to read?"
The second cousin Tiegang looked at little Tiedou with bright eyes. He really wanted to go to school, but he knew that his family had no money. Now Tiedou lives in his house, and they sleep together at night. If Tiedou
Just be willing to teach him.
"sure!"
Little Tiedou still remembered what the master said today when he praised Er Mao and asked everyone to learn from Er Mao. He originally thought that he had no chance to teach others, but he didn't expect to have a goal so quickly.
"Okay, then I will learn from you every night!"
The two cousins happily went to the mound nearby to learn how to read. Looking at this scene, Yuan felt sour in her heart. If her family had money, they could send their two sons to study.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that his eldest son did not follow Tie Dou and the others, and was looking for firewood to chop. She felt that her eldest son was not up to par, but Yuanshi still held back her temper and asked him: "Your younger brother knows that he is studying with Tie Dou."
When it comes to learning Chinese characters, why don’t you know how to follow along and learn it?”
Tieshan smiled honestly: "Mom, I don't want to study, I just want to help dad and mom do something!"
As he spoke, he raised his ax and split the firewood into two pieces.
Mrs. Yuan knew that her eldest son had good intentions, but she still wanted him to have a promising future like his younger brother. However, she didn't know what to say and could only stand aside and be confused.
Seeing this, Zhao Huanyu came over and said: "Tieshan, even if you don't want to study and you don't want to take the scientific examination, it is always right to simply learn a few words. Don't say you are a boy, you will still be a boy in the future.
The head of the family, the backbone of the whole family, how can he do it if he doesn’t know some words? Even a girl like me needs to know more words, so that I won’t be deceived when I go out, and I won’t be cheated when I do business and settle accounts.
Take advantage."
When Yuanshi saw that Zhao Huanyu had said everything on her mind, she hurriedly said, "That's the truth! Now my family can't afford to send you to study, so you can learn some from Tiedou. Let your father do things like chopping firewood."
Just do it.”
Tieshan did not answer immediately, but went through what Zhao Huanyu just said in his mind, and then asked: "Sister Xiaoyu, if I learn to read from Tie Dou, can you take me to do business together?"
He just heard Zhao Huanyu talk about doing business, and he didn't know if it was true or false, but he just wanted to do business, because only by doing business could he make a lot of money and let his family live a good life.
"Of course!" Zhao Huanyu replied without thinking, "But you must know a certain number of words and learn arithmetic in order to do a good job in business!"
She thought that if the business expanded in the future, there must be trustworthy people around her to help manage it. If Tieshan really had that ability, he would indeed be a good candidate.
Yuanshi was also very happy and said hurriedly: "Tieshan is very good at settling accounts. Sometimes I can't understand it, but he can tell it!"
Zhao Huanyu was a little surprised by this. So, Tieshan's verbal arithmetic ability is very good?
There's drama!
"Okay! I'm going to learn right now!"
Tieshan threw the ax on the ground and ran to ask Tie Dou to teach him again.
It happened that those Tiegangs whom Tiedou taught just now hadn't fully understood yet, so they followed them again.
It was not until dark that the few of them could no longer see what Xiao Tiedou wrote on the mound, then they reluctantly washed their hands and went to bed.
Xiao Tiedou saw his two cousins just washing the dirt on their hands and going to sleep, and said hurriedly: "Big brother and second brother! You haven't washed your face and feet yet! Sister said she changed our quilts today.
, you have to wash yourself before going to bed!"
Rural people are not so particular about it. Most of the time they just apply it casually and then go to bed. They only take a bath once every month.
Little Tie Dou was like this before, but later he discovered that his sister loves to be clean. If he was dirty, her sister would not hold his hand, so he developed a good habit of washing himself every day.
Tieshan Tie was a little embarrassed by what he said, so she blushed and went to wash with him, then lay down to rest together.
Zhao Huanyu and Mr. Gao slept in the same room. Mr. Gao went to bed at dusk and began to snore lightly, but Zhao Huanyu was still sitting at an old table working hard.
I promised Little Fatty today that I will show him my plan when he comes next time. I don’t know when he will come, but it is always right to prepare yourself in advance.
While Gao was asleep, she secretly took out a desk lamp from the space for lighting, which was much brighter than the oil lamps of this era. In order to prevent herself from being short-sighted, she took a huge risk of Gao waking up.
She felt that writing traditional Chinese characters was very troublesome, so she drew the clothing design draft first. No matter what era, women always make the most money. As long as they can design beautiful clothes, those wealthy girls will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
What's more, Duan Kuo's family is already rich and powerful, and his acquaintances are all upper-class people, which makes it easier to expand the market.
However, she originally studied medicine and was not very good at drawing, so she spent a lot of pencils and erasers in one night.
After working for most of the night and finally drawing two decent drawings, she put away her things and went to sleep peacefully.
Yuan was excited most of the night and got up before dawn the next day to pack and prepare to go up the mountain. Zhao Huanyu stayed up late and got up a little later. When she came out, she saw her aunt sitting in the yard ready to go, waiting with a slightly anxious face.
Zhao Huanyu was a little embarrassed and asked, "Has Tiedou gone to school?"
"We've been there a long time ago. That kid is sensible and got up early to go find Ermao!"
Yuanshi was too embarrassed to rush her, but the word "worry" was clearly written on her face.
The farm family only had two meals a day, so there was no breakfast. Zhao Huanyu washed his face casually, then put on a small backpack and took Yuanshi and Tieshan up the mountain.
Yuanshi was very excited along the way and kept talking.
Zhao Huanyu chatted with her, but she was not slow on her feet either. Her speed was comparable to Tieshan who often worked with Zhao Dagui.
"Xiaoyu, are we going into the mountains?"
Seeing her going deeper and deeper, Yuan couldn't help but become worried.
Zhao Huanyu nodded: "All the good things are in the deep mountains, but don't worry, Auntie, it's very safe. Generally, no wild animals will come out during the day."
The last time I encountered a wild boar, I was provoked by Wang Dashan.
