The fourth girl of the farmer

Chapter 21 Learning to write

"See, one chopstick was gently broken, and ten pairs of chopsticks were tightly hugged into a ball!" Yang Ziqian thought of the song, secretly amused in his heart, but on the surface he was serious.

"We are close brothers and sisters. If a person is like this chopstick, his fate will be controlled by others; Unite, help each other, and work together, nothing will be difficult for us." Yang Ziqian's ideological and political education class officially started "So, third brother, from now on, you have to learn little by little. Teach it to the eldest brother and the second brother, we all have to learn, only by learning how to read can we gain knowledge, and this family can no longer suffer from hunger and cold!"

Thinking of the future, when the whole family will get rid of poverty and become prosperous, Yang Ziqian is full of confidence and his face is flushed.

Thinking of not being hungry or cold, the three brothers were also full of energy, and their eyes were emitting green light like wolves.

"Okay, I'll teach!"

"Okay, I'll learn!"

With one voice, the three brothers solemnly promise!
Years later, the three Yang brothers looked at the splendor in front of them, and recalled that this extraordinary thing did not come easily.Thinking back to the beginning, the changes of the three ignorant and ignorant peasant boys all started from this night, and I am very impressed.These are all things I won't mention for the time being.

When it comes to changes, Yang Danian and his wife can understand them more deeply.

When Yang Zimu worked in the field, he was no longer just a coolie, but devoted himself to work.

"Father, how do you manage the season of planting seedlings and threshing rice?"

"Father, what's the point of digging the soil?"

"Father, how long is the interval between initial fertilization and top-dressing, and how do you distinguish between good and bad crops in the field?"

Sentence by sentence, all questions are on the point, which is deeply loved by Yang Danian.This eldest son is not a wooden head, he likes to use his brain and work hard, and he will be a good player in the crops in the future.

"How old is this kid, and he still learns how to write and draw on the ground like the third and fourth?" Yang Danian saw Yang Zimu, who was sitting on the handle of the hoe, turning sideways while digging the ground for a rest. I kept writing something on the soil with branches, shaking my head and sighing, my heart is still a child's temper, and I am also playful.

In other words, he was as old as the owner's child, and at this moment, he was still sitting in the school studying with his master.Comparing people to others, I am so pissed off, I have no ability to let them go to school, so I just take advantage of this break to play, so let them go.

"Father." Yang Zimu explained with a blushing face, "I'm learning to write."

"Writing?" Yang Danian is a rough man, and Dou Da doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, so he can only draw his own name, and the contract of the tenant's family land was read to the two brothers by the eldest brother's cousin , Then write down your own name for the ghost painting peach charm, and press your own thumbprint.

If you want to say that the things in the contract are true or false, and what they mean, they only have a half-knowledge.I probably know how much rent I pay each year after ten years of tenancy, and I don't know much about other things.

"Let Dad take a look." Yang Danian was refreshed, got up quickly, turned to his son, and looked at the words scratched by branches in the fresh mud.

"Your name?" Yang Danian could recognize these simple words. "Yes, you can write better than your father, who taught you?"

I was also confused, I didn't expect my children to be talented masters, but my name should be taught to teach them how to write and draw, but I have forgotten all these years because I have only cared about food and clothing.

"It was taught by Zisen, and Zilin and I are learning." Speaking of which, being stupider than the youngest brother is a shameful thing.

"Ah!" Yang Danian was even more surprised. When did the youngest son have such a good fortune, he could read and write, and taught his brothers?I have been sad that I have no money to send him to a private school. How can this child know these things?

"I heard from Zisen that he would go to the school door every day to listen to his master's lectures, so he learned a lot of characters." Yang Zisen dared not hide it. It seems that they are no less than the third child. Could it be that the twins have reached this level of telepathy, one will, and the other will naturally.

"Stealing." Yang Danian was educated by his parents and father since he was a child. Although his family is poor, he must be upright and not steal or rob, so that he can sleep peacefully, avoid nightmares, and not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

I have been educating my children in this way all the time, but who can tell him that now that the third son secretly goes to the school to study secretly, does this count as being dishonest?
However, he was just eavesdropping and peeping. The master and those Li children did not lose any money or property. It seems that the third son does not belong to the category of improper behavior.

"Tell him not to go, let the master and the boss know, and it's not easy for father to explain." Yang Danian thought about it, and the only thing he felt was that the most urgent thing is to let his son stop stealing this kind of behavior.

"Father, the master found out, and even borrowed books for Zisen to read." Yang Zimu knew that his father wanted to think more about things than these little kids like himself, but none of the parties objected, so what was his fussing about.

"Ah." I know, and I even lent books to the children. In this way, Master is also a benevolent and charitable person.Also, the little third son can read books, does it mean that this child is really a good fortune!How many words do you need to know to understand a book? From this point of view, will my family, the third son, really have the fate of a scholar!

Next year, yes, next year, I can fill my stomach, can't I try to send him to school?Thinking of this, Yang Danian was full of enthusiasm and energy.

Yang Zimu on the side ignored his father's wild thoughts, and continued to write on the ground the words his third brother taught him last night.My sister told him that farming is not only based on brute strength, but more importantly, knowledge, brains, experience and accumulation are needed to improve year by year.For example, recording changes in weather and temperature, soil conditions, plant growth cycles, etc. every day, all of which are clearly taught by his father.Let him be full of curiosity and excitement about this so-called knowledge.

At the same time, by the riverside, Yang Zilin, who herded cattle, watched the cattle happily bathing in the river. He was bored, picked up pebbles, and solemnly wrote his name over and over again on the sand.

It turned out that "Yang Zilin." These words were written like this.If it wasn't for the third brother who taught him, when he grows up and gets old, he wouldn't know that he is a lively person, and his written characters look like these three characters.

After writing, I covered the sand and wrote again. As my sister said, I don’t have money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The soil, sand, branches and stones are the best tools for practicing pens.It really saves money and time.
