After dressing as a farmer's wife, I was spoiled

Chapter 87
Second room here.

At the dinner table, Liu Wenyan mumbled while picking up the food, "Father and mother, Sister Banxia asked Wenxiu to teach me how to read!"

Liu Dahe, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wei were all taken aback when they were eating, and all looked at Liu Wenyan.

"Wenyan, you said that Banxia asked Wenxiu to teach you how to read?" Li Shi came back to his senses and asked.

Liu Wenyan nodded. "Um."

Liu Dahe was overjoyed. "This is a good thing! Wen Yan, you have to study hard!"

Wei Shi was also very happy, but she thought of something more.

"Wen Yan, Ban Xia asked Wen Xiu to teach you how to read, will it delay his study?"

"Grandma, I thought so too, but Wenxiu said it's okay, and Sister Banxia didn't say anything." Liu Wenyan thought of what Wei thought of, and asked them.

When Liu Dahe and Li Shi heard this, they suddenly felt ashamed in their hearts. Wen Yan could think of it, but they couldn't think of it.

Wei Shi felt relieved when he heard what Liu Wenyan said. "Wenyan, this is a rare opportunity. You have to work hard. There are not many people in our village who can afford to go to school. You can learn to read without going to school, thanks to Banxia and Wenxiu."

"When you are promising in the future, you can't forget this love, you understand?"

"Grandma, I will remember what you said. When I have a future, I will repay Sister Banxia and Wenxiu well."

"It's good if you can remember, all right, let's eat."

At this moment, the people in the big room were also eating.

"Banxia, ​​you bought this carriage too suddenly." Mrs. Qin took a piece of meat and put it in Xu Banxia's bowl.

"I bought it when I had money in my hand, so that it is convenient to travel far in winter, and the speed is much faster than that of an ox cart, and it saves time." Anyway, she thinks that a horse cart is better than an ox cart.

The next day, after Liu Wenyan had dinner, he went next door to find Liu Wenxiu.

Liu Wenxiu's first sentence was: "I'll start teaching you how to read right now."

Liu Wenyan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to start so soon.

In fact, he came to ask Liu Wenxiu when he would start teaching him how to read, so he had to be prepared, and he never thought that he would start now.

Seeing that Liu Wenyan didn't speak, Liu Wenxiu thought he didn't want to start now. "What's the matter? Is it inconvenient for you now?"

"It's okay, I can start anytime, since you said now, let's do it now.

Originally, I came here to ask you when it will start, so I should be prepared. "The opportunity is rare, and he can't wait to start so soon.

"Then aren't you ready yet? If not, we can start tomorrow." The school is on holiday, and he has plenty of time now, and he is also very free at home.

"No, I've already prepared it, anytime." Liu Wenyan said excitedly.

"That's fine."

"Come with me to my house. I'll teach you how to write your name first, as well as the names of your family members."

As he spoke, Liu Wenxiu walked towards his house, and Liu Wenyan followed behind him.

"Okay, thank you Wenxiu."

"We are all a family, so don't be so polite."

Xu Banxia naturally knew about Liu Wenyan's coming, so she didn't bother them.

She went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Qin, and saw Mrs. Qin leaning on Liu Dashan's shoulder, and the two of them just sat and warmed up by the fire.

"mother."

Xu Banxia didn't expect the two...otherwise she wouldn't have come in to disturb her parents' world of two.

"Banxia, ​​what do you want from me?" When Xu Banxia came, Qin was embarrassed to continue leaning on Liu Dashan's shoulder in front of her.

"Mom, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? What kind of New Year's goods should we buy for the family? I'll come here to discuss with you, so we can prepare some things early."

Xu Banxia walked over, took a small stool and sat down next to Qin.

"In the past, our family didn't have much money to buy good things during the New Year. We just bought some meat and peanuts." Qin couldn't help thinking about the past New Years.

"Mother, that was in the past, and now our family is rich, so we'll have a good time this year."

Although Xu Banxia didn't experience how the Liu family lived during the Chinese New Year before, but thinking about the days after she came to the Liu family, she could more or less imagine that they only ate a little better than usual during the Chinese New Year.

"Ban Xia is right, this year is going to be a good one." Liu Dashan thought of the money he earned from selling preserved fruits before, and he kept saving it to no avail.

Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he wants to take out the money to buy something good.

Xu Niang has been following him for so many years and has not enjoyed any blessings. She has suffered with him.

This year he wants to buy more good things and have a lively and lively year.

"Father, what should we buy for the new year?"

"What do Banxia want to buy?" Qin asked Xu Banxia.

There are so many things she wants to buy, but come on, not enough money.

Although she is not poor now, such a small amount of money is not enough for the things she wants to buy.

"Mom, I want to buy some firecrackers to be lively and lively. Since it's Chinese New Year, it's natural to have a New Year's flavor."

"If you want to buy this pinellia, you can buy it. Our family is rich now, and it's good to be lively." Qin didn't object.

When Xu Banxia heard it, he immediately laughed. "Okay, then next time I go to town, I'll buy the firecrackers first, and then I'll buy some incense and candles."

"Okay, look around and buy something, you can buy whatever you want, mother won't tell you, after all, it's Chinese New Year, so it's okay to be lively.

Speaking of Pinellia, when you didn’t come here before, our family never bought firecrackers before Chinese New Year, and we didn’t have so much extra money to buy them. After lighting them up, they crackled and they were all gone. What we bought were all useful and edible. . "

It was because Qin Shi and Liu Dashan had never had such a lively and good year, that's why she wanted to buy those things.

"Does that mother want to buy anything? I will buy it together when I go to town."

Qin thought about it, and felt that there was no shortage of food at home, and it seemed that there was nothing to buy.

"Thanks to Pinellia, our family is living so well now, and there is nothing my mother wants to buy.

If Ban Xia wants to buy something, just buy it, as long as you have the ability to make money now, what Ban Xia buys, mother will not say that you are wasting money like before. "

She did say that the things Banxia bought were a waste of money before, but then she also wanted to understand.

In fact, what Pinellia said makes sense, money is earned, not saved.

Xu Banxia was a little surprised to hear what Qin said. In the past, Qin would say a few words about her, but she couldn't take it to heart.

The Qin family used to be a lady from a rich family, but later she joined a poor mountain man like Liu Dashan, which is how she saved so much money.

So much so that she made money, and when Qin saw what she bought, she would say things like wasting money.

I never thought that I would figure it out now, but it is a good thing to figure it out.

"Since my mother said so, then I'll see what to buy." With Qin's words in front of her, Xu Banxia has already thought about what to buy.

Then, she looked at Liu Dashan and said, "Father, next time I go to the town to buy new year's goods, will you go with me?"

"Okay, no problem, when Banxia is going, just tell Dad, as it happens that Dad also has something he wants to buy." Liu Dashan responded readily.

"Father, let's make a deal like that."

"it is good."

"Oh, by the way, Ban Xia, I seem to have heard Wen Yan's voice just now, did he celebrate the Chinese New Year with our family?" Qin asked suddenly.

"Well, he came to find Wenxiu, and Wenxiu took him to the house to teach him how to read." Xu Banxia said slowly.

Qin: "Wen Yan is active and conscientious, and came here early in the morning."

"Indeed." Xu Banxia agreed.

It's boring just sitting by the fire, Xu Banxia couldn't sit still.

Suddenly remembering that there are sweet potatoes at home, Xu Banxia asked: "Father and mother, let me bake sweet potatoes for you to eat, do you want to eat?"

"Okay." Liu Dashan was the first to respond to Xu Banxia's words.

"Mum, do you want to eat?"

"Let's bake one, and then bake one for Wen Xiu and Wen Yan." Qin replied.

"Ok!"

Just when Xu Banxia was about to get up to pick up sweet potatoes, Liu Dashan looked for them. "I'm going to pick up sweet potatoes."

Then Xu Banxia sat without moving.

When Liu Dashan picked it up, Xu Banxia put it aside and roasted it.

Turn it over from time to time to avoid burning it.

After roasting for a stick of incense, the sweet potato was finally roasted.

Qin reached out to grab it, but it was so hot that she immediately withdrew her hand. "Hiss, ah."

Liu Dashan pulled Qin Shi's hand nervously, and said with concern, "Xu Niang, are you okay? Where is the burn? Let me blow it up for you."

"Oh, it's okay, I just got burned a little bit, you don't have to be so nervous." Qin Shi withdrew her hand.

"If you want to eat it, I'll just peel it for you, and you can sit and eat the ready-made ones, otherwise it will appear that you are a man and I don't love my wife enough." Qin's family was burned, and Liu Dashan's face was distressed.

Xu Banxia who was fed a mouthful of dog food: "..."

Suddenly I don't have the appetite to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

Then, Xu Banxia stood up and went out quietly.

I plan to call Liu Wenxiu and Liu Wenyan over to eat roasted sweet potatoes, and let them have a rest by the way.

As soon as I entered, I heard Liu Wenxiu teaching Liu Wenyan to read "The Analects of Confucius".

Xu Banxia frowned, why didn't he just start teaching Liu Wenyan how to read?

Why did you teach him to read "The Analects" so quickly?

Liu Wenxiu and Liu Wenyan were very serious, even Xu Banxia came in, they didn't notice.

If it wasn't for Xu Banxia's voice, neither of them would have noticed that Xu Banxia had come in.

Xu Banxia coughed lightly. "Wenxiu, didn't you teach Wenyan how to read? Why did you start teaching him to read "The Analects of Confucius"? Is this progress too fast?"

"Xia Xia, when did you come in? I didn't notice." Liu Wenxiu temporarily put down the book in his hand, and his eyes fell on Xu Banxia.

"That's because you were too serious, so you didn't notice me coming in."

Xu Banxia walked over, Liu Wenyan looked at her and shouted, "Sister Banxia."

Xu Banxia responded briefly, and then asked him: "Wenyan, why did Wenxiu start teaching you to read "The Analects of Confucius"?"

"I asked Wenxiu to read it to me. He taught me a lot of characters today, and then I want to try to hear him read it once, and then I will see if I can read it."

Xu Banxia frowned, a little puzzled.

I didn't recognize all the words, how can I read it?

"How many words did Wenyan know today?" Xu Banxia asked casually.

However, before Liu Wenyan could answer, Liu Wenxiu spoke out excitedly. "Xia Xia, let me tell you! Wen Yan already knows more than 200 characters!

And he didn't mispronounce a single word, and he completely memorized the meaning of each word. The people in our school didn't know how to read as fast as he did. "

Hearing what Liu Wenxiu said, Xu Banxia was stunned.

Does Wenyan have such a good memory?

At his age, which has never touched a book, it is amazing that he can remember so many words.

No wonder Wenxiu was so excited and even praised him.

"I didn't expect Wenyan to be so good, it's amazing." Xu Banxia looked at Liu Wenyan and praised him without hesitation.

Liu Wenyan bowed her head in embarrassment after being praised.

"Actually, I didn't expect that I could remember so many words, even I was surprised."

"From this point of view, Wen Yan is still very talented in reading." With such a good memory, it's a pity not to read.

In the modern world, how many people would not envy it.

Even she is envious.

Hearing what Xu Banxia said, Liu Wenyan was very happy, but he was also very clear about the situation in his family.

The family didn't have that much money for him to go to school.

And now it is his great honor that Wenxiu can teach him how to read.

For him, it was already very satisfying.

Literacy does not have to go to school, but as long as he has the opportunity to be literate, he is also very happy.

Because his father said that people who can read and write can easily find jobs in the future, and earn a little more money than those who cannot read.

"Sister Banxia, ​​I don't have the chance to go to school, and I don't want to go, I don't want to burden my parents, I definitely think it's good as it is now.

I am already very happy and satisfied that Wenxiu taught me how to read. "

"Wenyan didn't want to go to school to study, and take the imperial examination in the future?" Xu Banxia felt that Liu Wenyan is a person who knows how to be content, but he still has to go to a higher place.

Liu Wenyan shook his head lightly. "Those are too far away from me, and I don't think I have the ability.

And what I'm asking for is not high, I can read a few words, so I can find a higher-paying job in the future, and it's enough to support my parents. "

"It's okay, after all, everyone's pursuit is different."

In her opinion, what Liu Wenyan pursues is ordinary and realistic.

It's just that some people study and take the imperial examinations in order to have a better life.

But some people go to school to learn more Braille, so that they can find an easier job in the future.

"Okay, it's time for you two to rest, I baked sweet potatoes, let's go to the kitchen to eat."

After saying that, Xu Banxia went out.

Hearing that there were roasted sweet potatoes to eat, Liu Wenxiu ran faster than Liu Wenyan.

"Yeah, there are roasted sweet potatoes to eat!" Liu Wenxiu ran away in an instant.

Xu Banxia shook his head and laughed, hearing that the roasted sweet potato ran faster than the rabbit.

Liu Wenyan did not run as fast as Liu Wenxiu, but followed Xu Banxia silently.

"Wenyan, follow Wenxiu and learn how to read well." Xu Banxia said to Liu Wenyan.

"Sister Banxia, ​​don't worry, I will!" Liu Wenyan nodded solemnly.

He especially cherishes this opportunity to learn characters.
