Chapter 109
Chapter 109
People who come to learn to read and write do not take imperial examinations, or even do academics, which is different from serious scholars.
Except for Liang Songzi, the other scholars were gearing up and wrote the lesson plan by themselves. They asked Liang Songzi to look at it and then corrected it, and then asked Liu Yaoqing for help.
"Don't look at the simplicity of a few words, but it's not enough to know each other." Liu Yaoqing smiled mysteriously, "You can tell an allusion together, make it easy to understand, so that everyone can understand. In the future, you can speak well. If there are too many, it can be compiled into a volume for people all over the world to read."
This allusion is not an allusion that scholars use to write poems and articles, but a random allusion made up by themselves, which can be understood by young children and illiterate men, and remember the "allusion" of this word by the way.
It has nothing to do with the imperial examination, and it will not compete with scholars for fame, and it has a great contribution.
Scholars are like treasures. Apart from learning every day, they study how to teach the farmers in Shanggu Village to read and teach them "allusions".Anyway, I would definitely not go back during the Chinese New Year, so I sent my valet and coachman to work on the mountain when I didn't have money on hand, and I earned money to pay for my master's canteen expenses and accommodation expenses.
Of course, there are skills in compiling "allusions", which need to be popular and contain certain truths, otherwise it is just sensationalism, even if illiterate men understand it, they will just laugh and don't take it to heart, so naturally it is not considered The power of enlightenment.
This is more difficult than teaching literacy, but it is a great achievement that may be passed down through the ages!
The wind was blowing outside, making the windows rustle, Ah Ning sat on the kang, covered with a thin quilt, thinking about the new year's goods to be prepared this year, "This year is much richer, braised peanuts, popcorn, peanut candy, all of these need Prepare more, especially after the new year... get ready for the new year's goods for grandpa, and we will send them over at noon."
Counting the number of times Liu Quanjin went down the mountain in this year, there was only a handful of times, and he worked hard on the mountain every day, but he didn't have anything to worry about.
"It's all ready. Corn, potatoes, tomatoes, everything we have on the mountain has been prepared. There are two big carts." Brother Zhezi said, "I will let Handa and the others push the cart around the village..."
"Success." Liu Yaoqing nodded, "There's no reason for us to sneak in and let everyone in the village take a look."
This year, old man Liu not only took care of the wild raspberries on his side, but also took care of Liu Quanfu’s. Brother Zheng and Brother Ming were not at home, and Brother Zhong had never been back. It is impossible to collect food.
The pigs were slaughtered when Brother Zhong got married, and the chickens were slaughtered when Sister Cui was married. This year, Mrs. Li caught some chicks, but they didn't grow very well.
There is only enough food in the family, and there is no other income. In addition, Xiaobao is handed over to repair. Except for Xiaobao who can occasionally eat eggs, the Liu family has not had meat for a long, long time.
The car delivering New Year's goods came down from the mountain, and the villagers happily followed when they saw it.
You can guess what the carts are without looking at them.
Except for wine making, Liu Yaoqing usually doesn't avoid the villagers in other jobs here, and everyone knows what kind of wooden box contains what, anyway, they can guess at all.
"Old man Liu is blessed."
"That's not true, the New Year's gift from Brother Qing is a copy from our village."
"Brother Qing is filial enough, alas, I have heard that, the Liu family..."
"Don't say it, don't say it."
Everyone said this, but they still stared at the wooden cart, and brought it up again after a while, it was nothing more than old man Liu being eccentric, he was cruel to Sanfang at the beginning, and now there are only two carts of New Year's goods after waiting for a year, and the rest is divided. If there is no text, you need to know how many cars there are pancake workshops, wine brewing workshops on the mountain, and so many places.
Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi came to Liu's house together, and seeing Xiaobao was in the yard again, they knew he hadn't gone to study.
Liu Quanfu was also in the upper room, getting off the kang.
This year in the Liu family, only the old man Liu picked up some firewood, and they all burned the kang for Liu Quanfu. The kang in the upper room was still arranged by Liu Yaoqing.At this time, Old Man Liu's firewood had already been burned out, and the kang in the big house was freezing, so Liu Quanfu began to come over every day to lie on the kang in the upper room.
"Grandpa, is the kang hot?" Liu Yaoqing didn't go on the kang, but stood under it and touched it. Feeling the heat, she withdrew her hand and took a step back to stand with Brother Zhezi, "This year's New Year's goods are delivered early, I think Grandpa needs them here." There are also brothers Zhong, Zheng, Ming, Zhi and Yan here, so there are more, two big cars, grandpa, don’t you want to go and see?”
Liu Quanfu arrived in the courtyard early, and randomly looked through the wooden boxes on the wooden cart. When he saw good ones, he hugged them in his arms, and when he saw ordinary corn, he threw them aside.
"If grandpa doesn't go, uncle will take it all back to his house." Liu Yaoqing said.
"Boss, let me go!" Old man Liu saw it from the window, hurriedly got off the kang, and went out to break up with Liu Quanfu.
Liu Quanfu squatted at home and did not work. He drank every day except for drinking. This year, the family had no extra income. Xiaobao handed over Shu Xiu, and Mrs. Li was very strict with the money. It was only a year since Liu Quanfu hadn’t eaten anything good. It's like being five years older.
Pushing Liu Quanfu away, the old man Liu shouted into the room, "Come out and move your things to the upper room."
The original three-bedroom house was opened, Liu Jinmei and Zhang Dashan came out, and saw Liu Yaoqing was there, they were stiff and didn't know where to put it, but the work was unambiguous.
These days, Brother Zhi and Brother Yan took time to see Liu Jinmei, but they left without saying a few words, because every time Liu Jinmei said, "I heard people say that Brother Qing told you to live on the mountain. If you don’t get close to me, it’s not my family.”
At that time, brother Zhi said: "Mother, you listen to what other people say, but you don't listen to your own brother, let's not meet each other in the future!"
That matter later spread to Liu Yaoqing's ears, but he just smiled and didn't care.
Liu Jinmei didn't have her own opinion, what she said should be what others wanted her to say.
"I want to eat tomatoes." Xiaobao rushed into the upper room and came out with two huge tomatoes in a short while.
Every household in the village grows tomatoes, but they can't grow them when the weather is cold. Only the greenhouse on Liuyaoqing Mountain has them. At this time, red tomatoes are quite rare.
Old man Liu didn't say anything, he turned his head and called Liu Yaoqing into the room.
"The boss told me last time, how to withdraw the wild raspberry money?" Old man Liu's face was gloomy, he didn't want to go to the mountain to find Liu Yaoqing, a junior, to withdraw the money, and he was almost unable to hold back now.
There is no income in the family, and there is not enough to chew and use. Xiaobao alone can support three strong men.
This year Liu Yaoqing sent the New Year's goods and told Old Man Liu to put them in the upper room, and he personally watched them, just wanting to use these things to help Xiaobao get married after the year and year.
Liu Yaoqing was engaged at the time, and all the dignitaries in the village went, and the dignitaries outside also gave gifts.Xiaobao is about the same age as Liu Yaoqing, and he is still a man, so he should not worry about a blind date, but Old Man Liu and Mrs. Li failed to make it for a long time.
Now old man Liu was waiting for the money, he didn't plan to give it to Liu Quanfu, he asked Mrs. Li to take the money and go out to find someone, and then help Xiao Bao to marry him.
"Did Grandpa forget something?" Liu Yaoqing said slowly.
"What?" Old man Liu glanced at Zhezi, and was startled to realize that Zhezi, who hadn't paid much attention before, was actually handsome.
"Back when Brother Zhong got married, grandpa wrote an IOU." Liu Yaoqing said, "The wild raspberries sent by my uncle this year are really too few, I guess either the planting is too bad, or some of them haven't been sent to the mountain. I have told the villagers a long time ago that those who grow the best wild raspberries will be rewarded, but those who grow the worst wild raspberries may not be able to grow them next year. It is not just toss about to make something that is made of immortals, otherwise it will be brewed It's not that smell, I can't smash the signboard."
Old man Liu was surprised, he really forgot about the IOU, and Liu Quanfu's wild raspberries were indeed missing a lot. Although he didn't know where they were going, it must have something to do with Liu Quanfu.
He understood what Liu Yaoqing meant, if he took the money at this time, he might not be able to grow wild raspberries next year, and if he didn't pay the money in the IOU, he could continue to grow wild raspberries next year.
But Xiaobao's marriage...
"Brother Qing, IOUs are IOUs, and the money for wild raspberries is for wild raspberries, how can it be calculated like this!" Liu Quanfu didn't grab anything outside, but only urged Xiaobao to grab braised peanuts, put a lot of them in his pocket, and went outside While eating, I heard Liu Yaoqing's words.
"Grandpa." Liu Yaoqing didn't look at Liu Quanfu, but asked old man Liu.
"Forget it, you guys go back." Old man Liu said weakly, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
He is not a fool, if he asks for money at this time, and there is still no money to pay the debt next year, old man Liu wants face the most, and where to put his face at that time, if he can grow wild raspberries next year, he will still have money, and he plans to Serve wild raspberries well...
With a distorted expression, Liu Quanfu said, "Father, brother Qing..."
"Shut up!" Old man Liu also had an ugly expression on his face. It was all because of Liu Quanfu, but he didn't blame him.I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I didn't blame a word when I was a child, but when I grow up, I habitually don't blame.
Coming out of Liu's house, Liu Yaoqing was refreshed, ready to go back and change the IOU, and continue to do so next year.
"This year's wages will be paid out in a few days, our mountain will be lively again, and we will celebrate the New Year when the excitement is over." Liu Yaoqing stretched her waist, saw Brother Zhezi squatting down in front, and went to lie on his back.
Brother Zhezi went up the mountain with Liu Yaoqing on his back, walking neither fast nor slow, but steady, the villagers all smiled and joked when they saw it.
They got married a few years later, and everyone in the village knew about it.
However, after the villagers finished their work in the field and picked wild raspberries, there was basically nothing to do.The mountains are different. The newly built greenhouses contain tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables and fruits that are hard to see in winter. The merchants run non-stop every day to transport them from the mountains and sell them to the homes of wealthy families.
People came and went on the mountain, and they were not affected by the cold at all, but Liu Yaoqing was wrapped in layer after layer of clothes, sat on the warm kang to settle accounts, filled a whole new account book, and then announced, "From tomorrow onwards, you can distribute wages."
"I think the most anxious ones are those scholars." Brother Zhezi laughed.
