Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 12 Literacy
"Third daughter-in-law, it's getting late now, you clear the table, they should be back soon. My side's food is already ready, you put the food on the table, just wait for them to come back to start the meal, your father I left the food alone, and he can't get out of bed yet, so I brought it to his room for him to eat first."

"Mom, go and do your work. I'm here. You've already prepared all the dishes, so you don't need to be busy."

Bai Lan took out a small portion of each dish, and then filled a bowl of white rice for Chen Yu and brought it to the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Wenjie had already woken up, and he leaned against Chen Yu's side to talk and chat with Chen Yu.

Chen Wenjie sniffed his little nose when he smelled the fragrance, "Grandma, what delicious food did you make, it smells so good!"

"Wen Jie woke up, this is the dinner that grandma just made. Hurry up and get up and tidy up, we can have dinner later."

Seeing Chen Wenjie's greedy face, Chen Yu thought it was very cute, "Why don't we let Wenjie and Wenzhi eat first, they should be quite hungry too."

Bai Lan suddenly hesitated, "I think it's better to forget it. You are a patient and you eat first, and you are the eldest in the family, so it doesn't matter if you eat first, but Wen Zhi and Wen Jie are also fighting over everyone else." It wasn't very good to eat before, and Wen Hao and Wen Xiang of the second family were a year younger than both of them, and they were still in the field and hadn't come back. The second child was honest and careless, but I think it’s better to have a bowl of water, no matter how hungry it is, it’s only a few minutes away, the meal is already ready, and it’s almost time for them to come back.”

Bai Lan touched Chen Wenjie's head, "Wenjie, grandma knows you are hungry, but let's have dinner together when your uncle and the others come back?"

"Okay, Wenjie wants to have dinner with his brothers and sisters."

"Little Wenjie, how cute!"

Chen Yu found the memories of Chen Wenhao and Chen Wenxiang from his mind. Chen Wenhao and Chen Wenxiang were the third and fourth sons of the second child, Chen Yunliang. Chen Wenhao was five years old, and Chen Wenxiang was only three years old.

When Chen Yu thought of two such young children basking in the sun, his heart ached. The summer sun was already poisonous enough, let alone two children, how could they bear it?

In the past, when he was doing agricultural surveys, he always avoided going out when the sun was at its highest.

"Wenjie, go out and play with your brother first, I have something to say to your grandma."

"it is good!"

Bai Lan put on Chen Wenjie's shoes, and Chen Wenjie trotted out.

"Putting Wenjie away, what do you want to tell me? I'll bring you all the food, and you can talk while you eat. Anyway, we don't have to pay attention to the rule of not talking when we eat or sleeping."

"I think it's better for the three brothers not to help other people's families with work, but to finish their own family affairs first. The eldest among the children is Chen Yunfan, and Chen Wenjing is only nine years old. Think about us eight or nine years old. What is life like now at the age of [-]?"

"Okay, I'll tell them later when I'm eating, all the younger ones will stay. You can teach them to read and write at home, and you will also teach the sisters Qiaohe and Qiaozhu from the second family. .Yaqiu is not young anymore. She should have been shown to her by now. Our family was poor until we were 16. I think you can teach one and teach two. By the way, teach Yaqiu and Yajiao to recognize some characters. Well, it's better than being illiterate. Anyway, I don't believe in those women who are virtuous without talent."

"Also."

Chen Yaqiu is the second daughter of Mrs. Bai, one year older than Chen Yunhong. Chen Yaqiu's appearance is actually pretty good. Mrs. Bai also loves this daughter very much, and many people come to see her.She felt that richer families only valued their daughter's appearance, and some families had concubines, so she always disagreed, fearing that her daughter would suffer a disadvantage if she married.Some families have mediocre conditions, and Mrs. Bai doesn't want to marry her daughter to that kind of family. Her daughter is already suffering enough in her own family, and she doesn't want her to suffer hardship in other people's homes, so she picks and chooses and stays until she is 16 years old.
