The rise of the poor

Chapter 31 Farmers Talk About Fish
"The emperor is a hero, and the articles teach the children. Everything is inferior, only reading is high."

When Zhu Ping'an returned to the school window with a writing brush and a black wooden board, Sun Laoxiu was teaching the children to read this persuasive poem.It can be seen that private school education in ancient times had a lot of freedom. Of course, this freedom refers to the freedom of the master, and the teaching can be taught according to their wishes, unlike modern education, which is also restricted by the outline.

The Master wants to infuse the children with the importance of reading, so that they can be proud of reading, so that they can settle down to read.

The children below did not understand the poetry, but they all shook their heads and followed the Master to read each word.

Zhu Ping'an had already memorized this poem of persuasion by heart, and he knew better than these children the meaning of the saying that all things are inferior, only reading is high.You have the advantage of hundreds of years of experience in ancient times, but it is not that big. You are a college student and you will definitely have no problem taking the primary school entrance examination, but after you graduate from college, you will be asked to take the college entrance examination again. Can you still be confident? This is the same in ancient times. The imperial examination is much more difficult than the college entrance examination.Although I have seen the luck twice, but that's it, it is useless, it has not brought any changes to myself, and I can't watch the luck independently.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an put the black wooden board on the stone again, and poured the water from the bamboo tube into the groove, ready to practice calligraphy. In the imperial examination, calligraphy is very important. This is the first impression on the examiner. Naturally It's about practicing hard.

When Sun Laoxiucai was teaching the students a poem of persuasion, he inadvertently saw the chubby urchin outside the school playing the game of watering stones again. He was really naughty, alas, even such an old child in the county seat It's time to learn, it's really one step behind.

The master sighed, and felt more and more that these children in the school should be disciplined strictly, so he led the children to read again and again.

Outside the school window, Zhu Ping'an picked up a brush and dipped it in the water, and practiced a few traditional Chinese characters he had recently learned on the black wooden board.I took the trouble to see my calligraphy from twisting and twisting to gradually taking shape, and I became more interested in practicing calligraphy.

Another day was coming to an end, Zhu Ping'an saw that it was getting late, and the master had arrived at the time to set homework for the children, so he packed up his things, walked through the bamboo forest, led the old cattle, and walked down the hillside.

The old ox was led by Zhu Ping'an to graze these days, and his hair was shiny and shiny. He also forgave Zhu Ping'an for cutting its tail hair, and licked Zhu Ping's little hand with his tongue affectionately.

At the foot of the hillside, Zhu Ping'an let go of the old scalper and walked slowly to the place where he caught fish by the river.

The water of the stream is clear and shallow, and the water is rippling, and the underwater plants and small fish and shrimp can be clearly seen.Zhu Ping'an walked into the stream with bare feet. The stream just didn't cover his calf, and it was warm and cool.In three or two steps, I walked to the place where the fish basket was placed in the morning, stretched out my hand to lift the fish basket, and only when I lifted the fish basket, I heard an intense crackling sound in the fish basket. This was the sound of the fish beating on the fish basket, and the crackling water splashed. On Zhu Ping's face.

There was actually a yellow catfish that was about to catch up with the thickness of his own small wrist in the fish basket, and angrily flicked its tail in the fish basket. There were also five or six silver carp with a length of seven or eight centimeters in the fish basket, and they were all jumping in the fish basket. Jumping and jumping, but the exit is too small and there are barbs made of bamboo, they are helpless.

Don't be angry, you will make your outstanding contribution to enriching our table.

Seeing that you are so excited to dance, then braise it. Braised crucian carp is the best.

But looking at these fish being caught because they were greedy for the bait in the fish basket, think about the reason why she was repeatedly played by the black-bellied little loli.However, think about the fragrant chicken thighs and the soft and crispy snacks, it seems that it is not bad to be played a few times.

He picked up the fish basket, put on his shoes, took the writing brush and black wooden board, and climbed on the back of the cow to go home.

When I got home, dinner was being cooked at home. Seeing Zhu Ping'an come back with this fish basket, my grandmother praised Zhu Ping'an for a rare occasion.

"Oh, this catfish is really big, and it's good enough for a fish soup." The aunt came out of the house to take a look, with a smile on her face, "Well, She'er is awesome, I'll just say She's herding cows. Sure."

After a while, the grandmother put the fish in the basin, dripped two drops of oil, saying that the fish would spit out the sand, and then led a few daughters-in-law to dinner.

Zhu Ping'an stood in front of the basin and thought for a while, just when he saw his uncle coming out of the room, he should have heard that there was fish, and he could add a meat dish to dinner, which made the uncle who had been vegetarian for a few days with a smile on his face.

Zhu Ping'an rolled his eyes, ran forward all the way, pulled the uncle's sleeve, dragged him to the basin and said.

"Uncle, look how well the little fish swim in the basin, they are so happy." It was a childish tone.

The uncle nodded in disapproval.

"But grandma said you like fish stew, and you're going to boil them down later!"

Seeing that my little nephew was about to cry, I also saw Mrs. Chen, the younger sister-in-law, who was looking at her. This sister-in-law is very stubborn, but she can't make her think that I made Sheer cry, otherwise, there will be trouble again.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad, uncle doesn't eat fish stew."

So the uncle said perfunctorily, thinking in his heart, the child is in a gust of wind, this will coax him, and the mother will still stew the fish later, and wait for the meal to be ready, maybe he will forget it, even if he thinks of it. , no one can say anything.

"Really?" Zhu Ping'an suddenly raised his head and ran into the stove and said loudly, "Grandmother, grandmother! Uncle doesn't eat stewed fish soup, I caught the fish, I want to eat braised stew!"

The uncle, who was thinking about fooling his little nephew, was messed up in the wind.

However, Zhu Ping'an still ignored the degree of eccentricity of his grandmother. Although the uncle just said that he would not eat stewed fish soup, the stewed fish soup made by grandmother is only stewed catfish, and the remaining six small silver carp are still braised. Fish, let Zhu Ping'an feel a little more psychologically balanced.

After dinner, I was speechless for a while. I caught all the fish by myself, and even the braised fish was won by myself. As a result, for dinner, my grandmother only gave Zhu Ping a bowl of catfish soup, which contained only a piece of catfish meat.

Six braised silver carp, one was given to my grandfather and two were given to my eldest uncle. It was said that the uncle spent a lot of time studying and worked hard. In the same way, another one was given to Zhu Pingjun, which made Zhu Ping'an very speechless. It was because I was beaten on the palm of the hand by the master while sleeping. He worked hard there, and it was only when I ran the cattle that I worked hard, okay?The remaining two, one was given to the fourth uncle, saying that the fourth uncle's illness is not yet healed, uh, forgot to mention, today the family dredged the channels, the fourth uncle fell ill again, and said that it was hemorrhoids, you dare to believe it! ! ! !Catfish is a good thing. The catfish soup that my grandmother gave to the fourth uncle was full of large pieces of catfish.

The other one, the grandmother gave the third uncle and Zhu's father in half, and Zhu's father gave the half to Zhu Ping'an.Zhu Ping'an was eating half a silver carp, and watching Zhu Pingjun happily eating two silver carp, he had a newer understanding of the degree of eccentricity of his grandmother.

Next time, I will first grill two fish by the river and bring the rest back, saving the fish and not having to eat it.
