Is he a child?
"Well, he is very smart." Sanya pursed her lips, "If his father hadn't had an accident, he might have been admitted to the scholar's examination."
Xu Yin rubbed her chin and said in deep thought: "Your brother-in-law and I are looking for a master to teach us how to read, how about him?"
Huh? Sanya was dumbfounded, You and your brother-in-law...
She wanted to say, are you still studying at this age? Isnt this a waste of money?
Xu Yin gave her a hygienic eye angrily: "Aren't you afraid of learning late? Not only your brother-in-law and I, but you and the third brother also have to learn."
Cui Mengjin really didnt expect that her wife would go back to her parents home to find a teacher for her.
His first reaction was exactly the same as Sanyas: Im already this age and Im still studying? Isnt this inappropriate?
"What's wrong? I didn't study when I was a child because my family was poor and didn't have the conditions. Now that we have the conditions, why not ask a master to teach us how to read and digit? If you want to make jokes, let them go. The one who increases your knowledge is Are we right? Its not like we have to study to be a scholar, a scholar, or a top scholar. We study to be literate and sensible, so as not to have a black eye when we go out, sign a deed, and be sold without even knowing it. "
Xu Yin bowed first and then fought. After speaking, she put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm just asking you if you want to learn?"
"Learn!" Cui Mengjin looked at her and smiled, "A woman is willing to learn, so there is no reason for a husband to be lazy."
Thats pretty much it.
Lin Xiyun was actually a little surprised when he received this job: "Sanya's second sister asked me to give literacy lessons to her and her husband?"
"Isn't that right? Not only my second sister and second brother-in-law, Sanya and I also have to learn." Xu Sanqiu looked sad, "I'm not good at studying, but I don't dare not listen to what my second sister says..."
The consequences for not listening will most likely be a beating.
I have never seen my second brother-in-law be so obedient.
Its over, the second brother-in-law must be afraid of being beaten by the second sister.
Lin Xiyun opened his mouth, really not knowing what to say.
But teaching people to read couldn't be easier for him.
More
There are currently four students, and the last class was twenty essays.
A day-long part-time job in the town only costs about 30 cash. It is still hard work like bending down to carry sacks and rice bags. A more leisurely job can earn less than 30 cash. And he spent a long time teaching people how to read and got 20 pieces of literature?
Lin Xiyun carries the financial burden of the family on his shoulders, and he cannot and does not want to refuse such an attractive job.
Whats more, Xu Sanqiu also added:
"Oh, by the way, my second sister said that your mother's confinement disease can be cured. When she accompanied my second brother-in-law to the county town to treat her legs, she saw the old imperial doctor treating a woman's confinement disease. , a few sticks of soup and medicine will be enough. The second sister said she will go to the county town sometime and help your mother bring back a few sticks of soup and medicine. The money for the medicine will be deducted from your remuneration."
Is this true?
Lin Xi stood up in a hurry, his usual sophistication gone.
Of course, my second sister has never spoken big words.
It just means that sometimes I will beat someone if I dont like it.
"Oh, by the way, my second sister also said that when you go to her house for lessons, you can bring your brother with you. Teaching four is teaching, and teaching five or six is also teaching."
In fact, in the final literacy class, not counting Lin Xiyuns younger brother, there were ten students present.
Xu Yin also called Cui Jikang. A ten-year-old child, in modern times, is still the rising sun and the flower of the motherland. It is always good to know a few more words without thinking about things as far away as the imperial examination.
As soon as her mother-in-law muttered that she was reluctant to pay for the tuition, Xu Yin said: "Mom, think about my second brother, is it because he saved an old accountant who taught him abacus that he became a rice store accountant?" ? If the second brother had not met the old accountant and had not learned the abacus, could he have become a rice store accountant? Can he have a stable income? If you really dont want to pay this money, I will pay for it. From now on, the third brother will rely on his knowledge. If Wen Duanzi finds a stable job, it won't be too late to pay me back."
What?
You have paid for the third child now, and you want the third child to pay it back later? Wouldnt that be a loan? Do I have to calculate the interest when I pay it back?
Ms. Cui quickly refused: "I don't need you to help me. My own son can read and write. How can I not let him learn?"
Xu Yinpi said: "Then Meng Jin is also your son, should you also pay for his tuition?"
Ms. Cui was so angry that she really wanted to take this dirty daughter-in-law away with a broom.
Xu Yin winked at Cui Jikang, laughed and went home.
On the way, she met Goudanniang. Goudanniang learned that she had hired a boy from Plum Blossom Village to teach her and Meng Jin how to read. Also attending the class were her third brother, third sister and the brother-in-law of Lao Cui's family. She immediately agreed. : "Add one of my dogs! Let him learn a few more words from you!"
After getting along with her for a year, the woman Goudanniang admires most is Meng Jins wife. She thinks everything she does makes sense, and if you follow her, you will definitely do nothing. Even excluding this point, the grain yield per acre has increased, and we have more money than in previous years. Goudan is the youngest child in the family, so it would be nice to know a few more words.
Starting with Goudanniang, Tiewa Niang, Huzi Niang and other village women who used to come and go frequently also sent their children to Xu Yin's house.
Xu Yin:
Thanks to the construction of three large rooms, the south hall room was temporarily used as a classroom, so it was not too crowded.
Since then, every three days, the sound of Lang Lang reading can be heard from Xu Yins house.
Xu Yin not only knows these traditional Chinese characters, but also writes them well, but what should she do? The original person is illiterate, so even if she acts, she must act more seriously.
Fortunately, there is a true academic master around him - Cui Mengjin has a super memory that can be remembered immediately after seeing it. He is also good at reading and hyphenating. Lin Xiyun only taught him once and he remembered it. Others were still in the stage of recognizing them by word. , they are in a dazed state of not knowing the words.
Xu Yin discussed with Lin Xiyun during the break: "Sir, Ajin and I will not participate in the next class. We have learned all the words taught today. If you don't believe me, sir, you can test us."
Lin Xiyun gave them a test. Sure enough, both husband and wife remembered a few words that were taught in the previous class.
Can't help but feel excited: "If Brother Meng were a few years younger, he would definitely be able to do something great."
Xu Sanqiu came over and said, "Second sister, didn't you say it's never too late to study? Then let your second brother-in-law study and take the imperial examination!"
Xu Yin rolled her eyes at him: "Do you know all the characters taught in the last class?"
""No.
Then why are you joining in the fun?
Ying Ying Ying!
Xu Yin turned to the man and asked, "Do you want to study and take the imperial examination?"
Cui Mengjin shook his head: "I don't want to."
"Why?"
It will be very hard for my wife.
He has seen scholars in the village and town. If a family supports a scholar, they have to tighten their belts. They cannot help with household chores or take care of family affairs. They only ask the family for money to pay for repairs. What's the difference between rushing to take exams and being a vampire leech?
Moreover, he can no longer leave her and wants to sleep with her day and night and grow old together.
