Seeing Pei Xiu's surprised eyes, Zhou Yi immediately continued: ''I'll exchange Baijia's surname and third aunt for a wooden knife. I can teach you to read it a few times first, but the third uncle also has to teach me how to play the sword. '' He knew that Pei Xiu wanted to read, so he came up with the idea.
She also didn't get in touch with the child's partner. She didn't expect that Zhou Yi, like Zhou Yong, was also a fan of swords and guns. No wonder they could play so well. He was thinking of exchanging books, but if he did, Master Zhou would probably vomit blood, and he wouldn't have a good impression of them.
Pei Xiu touched his head, put it on his shoulder and said, "I will return the Three Character Classic to you later. You lend me your Baijia surname and teach me to read. I will ask your third uncle to carve a wooden knife for you as well. It also teaches you to practice, but do you wake up in the morning? ''
Zhou Yi firmly said that he could.
''Well, if you want to learn from me, I will ask your third uncle to talk to your grandfather. Your grandfather agrees, and you can come to learn more openly. Learning martial arts is only to strengthen the body, and studies cannot be wasted. Books can be donated to book lovers, but it is not advisable to exchange them for wooden knives, you know. '' Seeing that he bowed his head in shame, Pei Xiu didn't say much, just understood. Let him wait for a while, she went to give him the Three Character Classic and let him take it back, any book in this era is precious.
The snow began to fall slowly, and Pei Xiu asked each of the children to drink a bowl of **** soup, and drove the children back to the house to warm up. I talked to Zhou Cheng about Zhou Yi. Zhou Cheng had no opinion. Four were teaching and five were teaching. Anyway, the two are not far away. He sent all three children home, and stopped by to visit Master Zhou.
He made it clear that learning a bit of boxing and kung fu can not only defend oneself, but also strengthen the body. The imperial examination also requires a healthy body. Master Zhou felt that it was reasonable. The six arts of a gentleman are essential to learn, and the emperor of the current dynasty can kill the enemy when he mounts a horse, and he can wield a brush when he dismounts. It's not a bad thing to learn some martial arts, as long as you don't delay your homework.
Master Zhou called Zhou Yi and told him face to face, Zhou Yi also reassured him. He also told his grandfather about borrowing books and wanted his partners to study and make progress together. Master Zhou nodded in relief. Good teachers and friends will make people progress. Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to Mo are black, and friends all influence each other.
Zhou Cheng saw that Master Zhou did not object to borrowing books, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Master Zhou if he had any idea of running a school. Master Zhou had not yet reached the age of knowing destiny, so it would not be a problem to teach students for a few more years. Master Zhou said: ''The old age is very old, and I am afraid that my energy will not be enough. Even if I have an idea, I am afraid of delaying the students. ''
''Master Zhou is humble, the master should be strong when he is old, not to mention that he is only teaching children how to read, and it is still unknown how he can learn. I hope the master thinks over it again and again. '' Zhou Cheng cupped his hands and said.
''No hurry, wait for the old man to think about it. '' Master Zhou nodded and said.
Zhou Cheng saw that it was getting late and his daughter-in-law was still waiting for him at home, so he said goodbye first. He wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's all over, he's just an ordinary farmer and hunter now.
Not getting an accurate reply was expected, Pei Xiu wasn't disappointed, let's talk about it in the spring. Moreover, her vegetables have not been harvested yet, potatoes and sweet potatoes are still immature, and the bunches have not been saved yet.
The top priority is to make money. The vegetables in several houses look green, but they can't be harvested yet. We have to wait a few more days to harvest them. The vegetables are relatively small, but they look very tender. Maybe Growing up in the house, without fertilization, depends on the fertility of the soil.
Yesterday, it snowed intermittently for a day, and it stopped at night. Today, the sun has cleared up early in the morning. Zhou Yitian came just after dawn, and he had already said that he would come every day, practice for an hour in the morning, then go back to have breakfast, and then study with his grandfather after eating.
And he finally saw with his own eyes what his little friend said, the scene where one hand was brought out one by one, gloating at the misfortune, Zhou Yong dumped him and rubbed his eyes secretly, thinking that he would settle the account with him later. After a few children finished their morning exercises, before their mother got up, they hurriedly ate breakfast and went out to play. When my mother woke up, I had to catch them to read again, and my mother got a new book before going to bed last night.
Zhou Yong thought to himself: Dad shouldn't have taught Zhou Yi, but he actually avenged his revenge and changed his mother's surname with more characters. Hmph, he can't even have fun. Find him to settle the account.
Zhou Cheng is cutting wooden knives for Zhou Yi, no matter where these children go. I'll be back in time anyway.
When Pei Xiu came together, she went to see the soybeans she had in the soaking pot yesterday. The bean germs burst out of their shells, and small buds stretched out, like little cute commas. Pei Xiu carefully poured out the water, took two white cotton cloths, wetted the sprouted beans and poured them onto a cotton cloth, then covered it with a cotton cloth, poured some water on it to keep it moist, it should be easier to grow big.
She didn't know if it was right or not, but she tried it anyway. It is not a waste if you don't succeed and fry it yourself.
He saw Pei Xiu go in and out of the kitchen, without having breakfast first, he got up to have a look, almost startling Pei Xiu. ''What are you doing, walking without a sound. '' Pei Xiujiao glared at him angrily.
Zhou Cheng said helplessly: ''You are too focused, you just didn't hear it, what are you doing, why are you still holding white cotton cloth. ''
''I'm trying to grow soybean sprouts, so that the soybeans can sprout to be fried and eaten, and I can also have more edible vegetables in winter. Might even be able to sell it for money. This time spent too much. '' Pei Xiu turned around to get the mung beans, thinking about soaking some mung beans, and trying to grow the mung bean sprouts.
''Why are you looking at money again? I'll use it first if I have it at home. I don't need to save it. If it's not enough, I'll find a way. '' Zhou Cheng frowned, afraid that she would dig and search like before.
''I still have some money at home, but didn't I want to send a few children to school? Then what can we do with the money we saved, we still have to figure out how to get more money. '' Pei Xiu knew his worries, she would not disappear, she was here.
''It doesn't matter if you don't go to school. It's good to live a peaceful life. Not many people in our village are literate, so they are safe and sound. '' Zhou Cheng felt it.
''I hope they will be useful people who know what they want, instead of being mediocre, ignorant, and going with the flow for the rest of their lives. I want to give them multiple options. '' Pei Xiu turned to look directly into his eyes and said firmly.
Zhou Cheng was stunned for a while, his eyes full of meaning looked at Pei Xiu, but he softened in an instant, and touched her head, no matter how she changed, she was his daughter-in-law. '' Do what you want, don't say this in front of outsiders. ''
Pei Xiu fell into his arms, hugged his waist, and said, ''I know, thank you Zhou Cheng! ''
''Let's have breakfast first, it's hot in the pot. '' Zhou Cheng patted her on the shoulder and said. He went to cook the porridge early in the morning while the child was squatting.
