, through I became a married peasant woman
"You're welcome, old lady, I just care about you, old lady, nothing else, hehe. It's a little cloudy today, but it's not raining anymore, let's go quickly." Aunt Zhang also felt that she was talking too much, people like to buy What, what does it have to do with her? Why do you say that these are disgusting? Fortunately, this old lady has a good temper and doesn't care. On the way back, she spoke a lot less.
The children's energy is always strong, there is not a moment of idle time, and they have to compete on the way to see who can run the fastest.
Pei Xiu doesn't care about them, anyway, it won't interfere with others.
Along the way, Aunt Zhang and his wife met people they knew from time to time, and without Pei Xiu speaking, Aunt Zhang helped her and explained who belonged to which village. All she had to do was smile and nod. The villages here are next to each other, and they intermarry each other, so everyone is very familiar with them.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two couples were afraid that they would not be able to get their things, so they helped them push the trolley to the village. Pei Xiu declined their help when they moved. There are so many people in their family, so don't bother them anymore. He took out five copper coins for Aunt Zhang as the money for the car.
Aunt Zhang declined and said, "We're all going to push it back anyway, so I'm just borrowing you to put something. Our village also has horses to carry passengers. It costs two cents per person to go to the county seat, and take a basket to occupy the space and add another cent. We'll pay a little more. It's just strength, the folks in the villages, it doesn't matter if you give me a hand or not."
"Then how can you make your efforts in vain." Seeing her sincerity, Pei Xiu gave Sanwen.
Aunt Zhang smiled and accepted it, afraid that it would rain and didn't stay. After saying goodbye to them, she pushed the car with her wife and left.
As soon as she got home, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Seeing that it was about to rain, she quickly put away her clothes and drove the children to the house to rest for a while.
Fortunately, they came back one step earlier. It seems that there will be a heavy rain in a while this day. If this is the case, they will not be able to come back halfway. In this weather, Qiu Baize shouldn't be able to come today, so she should go back to the house and lie down. Everyone got up early in the morning and walked for a long time. Not to mention the child, she was tired. Now it's cool and she can take a nap.
There was lightning and thunder outside, and it was as dark at noon as in the evening, and the whole family slept soundly.
Zhou Cheng couldn't sleep because of things in his heart. Looking at the two sleeping, he got up and closed the window. It was easy to get in the wind and rain outside.
The rain began to subside in the evening, and Pei Xiu woke up after enough sleep, woke up the children, and went to sleep, and couldn't sleep at night.
The children stood in a row under the porch,
Looking at the drops of water dripping under the eaves, Zhou Hengren sighed loudly: "Mother, isn't Uncle Qiu coming today?"
This is what Tiger wanted to ask.
Pei Xiu patted him on the butt, "Children are not allowed to sigh. If the weather is bad today, your Uncle Qiu may not be able to come over. He will come when the rain stops. If it's too boring, just endorse each other."
Seeing Zhou Cheng lighting a fire in the kitchen, she went in to look for him and said, "I heard from Aunt Zhang today that the neighboring village Zhangjia Village is a big village, and an old scholar named Zhang opened a school. You can ask when the rain stops tomorrow. Depending on how Shu Xiu makes friends, it's not a problem for a few kids to be idle at home, and you can't give up halfway through school."
"it is good,."
"I'll boil the lard first, and I'll make dinner later. You help me wash the pig out first."
"it is good."
Pei Xiu snickered, doing whatever she says, and she can help with housework. This is a good man at home. The children are not surprised, anyway, the father listens to the mother.
The rain didn't stop until the night. Hearing the sound of the rain outside, Zhou Cheng couldn't fall asleep.
"What's wrong? Still not sleeping?" Pei Xiu slept a lot during the day, and couldn't sleep a little at night.
"It's okay, did it bother you?"
"No, I slept a lot during the day, but I'm not sleepy. What are you thinking? I haven't slept so late. Have you slept during the day? " Pei Xiu turned around. Since she can't sleep, let's talk.
"It's alright, I just remembered some past events. Also, I was thinking about what Qiu Baize said, and I don't know what arrangements the prince has made to pick us up."
"As soon as it comes, let's be safe. Let's wait. It's not a coincidence that today's wind and rain are mixed, otherwise Mr. Qiu N should come over. Don't think too much, let's wait patiently and go to bed early." Pei Xiu told him to follow The younger son pulled down the quilt and patted it again.
"Hmm. Go to sleep."
On a rainy morning, the air was particularly fresh, the sky looked particularly blue, and there were no clouds in the sky. Today is a good day.
After the morning exercise, Zhou Cheng took a bunch of children to the village. On the side of the road, he found an old man and asked him the way to Zhangjia Village. He stuttered when he saw that people were afraid, and Zhou Cheng frowned, which made the old man look even more terrifying.
Zhou Yong reluctantly pulled his father aside. He stepped forward and asked, "Don't be afraid, sir, my father has no malicious intentions. We are going to Zhangjia Village School. How do I get there?"
The old man wiped his sweat and said embarrassedly: "Well, there is a small episode of bartering about a quarter of an hour to the right on the main road at the entrance of the village. In the past, you can just ask any passerby to know."
"Thank you, uncle." After saying that, he followed his father's usual way of looking at them, cast a glance at him and strode forward.
Zhou Cheng's hands were itchy when he looked at him.
When we arrived at the small gathering in Dahe Village, everyone was a little curious when they saw that the villagers were exchanging eggs for things. Zhou Heng took his elder brother and asked, "Brother, why don't they use copper plates and exchange eggs for them?"
"I don't know, it's because the eggs can't be sold." The boss was not interested in what they were selling. Ning County was so lively that they all went shopping, and there was nothing to attract him in a small episode.
Zhou Cheng said, "Every household has chickens, so eggs are hard currency. Everyone in the village needs a little bit of money. Those who are reluctant to spend money can trade eggs, and then they can take the eggs they have saved to the county town for money. "
The children know this. There is no small fair in their hometown, and they go to the town to go to the market to buy things, and everyone pays with copper coins.
"Dad, you wait, I'll ask for directions." The boss saw a child with sharp eyes. There were books in the basket he was carrying, and he stepped forward to stop him after saying a word to them.
Zhou Cheng frightened the child and did not dare to get too close, so he just watched.
"Hey, kid, are you going to school?"
The child looked at this unfamiliar little brother who was blocking him. He was not afraid of life. His home was in this village, and there were people who knew him everywhere, so he was not afraid that he was a bad person. Seeing several children running behind him, I was also a little curious why there were so many children he had never seen before.
"Yeah, I'm going to school, who are you, why haven't I seen you?" he asked, tilting his head.
"We are from the next village, we want to go to the school, can you take us there?
"Why are you going to school?"
"We want to go to school, so we want to visit Master Zhang, can we talk while we walk?"
"Okay, then come with me, do all of you have to go to school?" The child counted five, "A lot, your family is very rich, my grandmother said that our family has no money and only If you can send me there, my brothers don’t like to read, they all work at home.”
"Our family is also poor, but my mother said that one cannot be illiterate, and it is very painful to be illiterate. What's more, reading can make sense, reading can enlighten wisdom, and reading can cure ignorance..." Zhou Yong wanted to show off a few words, but he was caught by a child. interrupted.
"Yes, yes, that's what Master Zhang said. My brother is so good that he remembered it, but I didn't remember it." The child looked at Zhou Yong with bright eyes, which made him more confident and felt that his mother said it too well. Well, luckily he remembered it all.
Zhou Yong grinned happily, and finally remembered that he didn't know the name of this child. He said to the child, "My name is Zhou Yong, this is my second brother Zhou Sheng, this is my third brother Zhou Heng, this is my god brother Zhou Shan, and this is my neighbor Zhou Hu. What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Xintang. The school is in front, and the master lives in the small courtyard behind the school. I will take you there." After speaking, he trotted over, and a few of them followed behind. Zhou Cheng took it easy. Step behind them.
"You guys hurry up, I'll go ahead and call Master, Master Master..."
Zhang Xintang ran into the backyard in a blink of an eye. A few of them were embarrassed to follow behind, and stood at the gate of the courtyard waiting for him to bring Master Zhang out.
"Master, the few of them said they wanted to go to school and wanted to find you." Zhang Xintang ran blushing and sweating.
An elderly man touched Zhang Xintang's head and said softly, "I see, you go to your seat and read by yourself, I will test you guys later."
"Oh." Zhang Xintang made a face at them and ran away.
Zhou Yong's brothers bowed politely to Master Zhang. Hu Zi looked at them because he had never been to school, nor could he.
Zhou Cheng said behind him, "Hello, Master Zhang, I'm their father. I want to send them all to school. May I ask how Shu Xiu should pay. They are now learning thousand characters."
"Oh? Did this little one also learn the thousand-character script?" Mr. Zhang couldn't care to pay attention to his appearance, so Zhou Heng diverted his attention. He was surprised to see that such a small beanie actually learned the thousand-character script. ?
He is an old scholar in this village, and he is basically teaching the children in several nearby villages. People in the countryside don’t have enough money. Basically, they don’t go to school after one or two years of learning 1000-character Chinese. They think that knowing so many characters is enough for a lifetime. Therefore, they are usually sent to study for two years at the age of eight or nine, and then drop out to become an apprentice. Zhang Xintang is already the youngest in their school at the age of six. He has only been enlightened for half a year, and he is learning hundreds of family names.
"This youngest is Zhou Heng. He is five years old. He has a good memory and can read quickly. It's been almost a year since they learned to read."
"Then you can memorize the thousand-character text for me. You can recite it wherever you learn it?" Master Zhang knew so much at such a young age. It was obvious that he had a good talent and wanted to test him.
Zhou Heng looked at his father and then at the new master, a little shy: "I just learned that the cloud rises into rain, the dew becomes frost, the gold gives birth to Lishui, and the jade comes out of Kungang."
"Do you understand what it means?" Master Zhang thought about taking a closer look.
"Master Zhou said that when the cloud rises and meets the cold, it forms rain, and when the dew becomes cold at night, it condenses into frost. Gold is produced in the Jinsha River, and jade is produced in the Kunlun Mountains." Zhou Heng answered honestly.
Master Zhang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, Ruzi can teach.
"Your brothers are all the same as you, have they all learned this?"
Zhou Heng nodded.
Master Zhang is particularly interested in these children. Few people send all the children at once, and they don't look like rich people. Moreover, each of the children in this family was different in age, and they were all enlightened at the same time, which made him a little more curious. So he was different from the past. He accepted all the students he sent in the past. This time, out of curiosity, he tested every child, but found that the biggest one couldn't do anything.
Hu Zi explained embarrassingly, "I... I haven't been to school and I can't read. This is my neighbor Uncle Zhou, not my father."
No wonder, Master Zhang nodded and asked Zhou Cheng, "Are these five delivered together?"
Zhou Cheng nodded.
"Uncle Zhou, I don't need to..."
Zhou Cheng interrupted him, "Knowing words is necessary, otherwise you won't be able to go far in the future. Your Uncle Qiu will be responsible for you. It's more than enough for him to raise a child alone."
Hu Zi felt ashamed that he had caused trouble for everyone and was more determined to repay Uncle Qiu and Uncle Zhou well.
After I asked about Shuxiu, and when there was no problem, the master let them go in together for one day, and bring their textbooks tomorrow. Although they were in the same class, he taught them separately according to the schedule.
Seeing that the children had all entered, Zhou Chengcai turned and left, returning to the village. Seeing that Qiu Baize hadn't come yet, I was a little disappointed. I guess he was busy with business, so he didn't come so early.
Pei Xiu saw that he was back, how many children?
"They went to class directly, listen first, and bring the books tomorrow." After that, he said that he would go for a walk in the fields. Look at what is planted in this village. If he is asked to plant the crops in the warehouse here, he must first familiarize himself with the environment. He thought it was very possible.
Pei Xiu nodded and didn't care. She was very busy now. She had to sew a quilt cover for them and cover them first, and also make them another quilt. It will be cold in autumn, and she needs to prepare in advance. . I don't know if the winter here will be a little colder. There was not much firewood in the house, so I had to ask Zhou Cheng to find out where it would be more convenient to pick it up on the mountain.
She is busy with her hands, and her head is not idle. She is thinking about how to reduce expenses. It is not easy to raise chickens at this time.
The courtyard door was knocked open, and Qiu Baize strode in and asked, "Where's Zhou Cheng, how many children? It was already afternoon after finishing the work yesterday, so it's not convenient to come here with such heavy rain and lightning."
"We thought so too. A few children were sent to school this morning, and Zhou Chengcheng went to the field for a walk. Go and have a look."
"I've sent it all, Hu Zi also sent it? This can't cost you money, and I can't let you take care of all the things I've taken over. I'll pay for his repairs. I'll talk to Zhou Cheng later, you first Busy." He stopped Pei Xiu from speaking, and went to Zhou Cheng to do the business first.
