Fast time travel, I have a cheating apprentice

Chapter 204
Spring went to autumn and winter came. I don’t know where a cold wind came from, and the land fell into a depression. Since there was no need to go to the field to work, the whole family, young and old, nestled on the kang, and it was boring to be idle. I bought books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones to write on the table with the children.

Modern people don’t know how to write brush characters unless they are necessary and interested. Ye Bing, who has not been taught by a special person, writes characters written with a brush brush. Far.

Except for the youngest Zhu Chongba, who is a baby, the other seven children were all called to practice calligraphy. It doesn't matter if they are too young to write. Drawing circles with a brush must also fit into the atmosphere. It can be regarded as a kind of teaching by words and deeds.

After all, this mother-in-law is not a brick-and-mortar family, and many methods of educating children are learned by patchwork, and they can be used if they feel suitable.

Zhu Chongwu used a brush to write for the first time. He was originally confident that he could write as beautifully as the book. However, his right hand did not obey the command at all. He wanted to go east but walked southeast instead. Finally, what he wrote was The characters are as crooked as earthworms and don’t look like a series. I got discouraged after writing only a few words, “Mom, we don’t study, why do we need to practice calligraphy?”

After finishing the last stroke perfectly, Ye Bing felt her hands sore. She put the brush on the inkstone, and then she raised her eyes to look at the calligraphy practiced by Chongwu. It is better to say that it is a mess of ink spilled on the rice paper. She smiled slightly and said, "Mother is going to arrange for you and your four older brothers to go to school next spring."

Children from poor families are destined to work in the fields, and it is basically impossible to study. After all, a book costs several taels of silver, not to mention long-term consumables such as pens, inks, paper, and inkstones. People dare not think about such huge expenses.

Among them, Chong Yi Chong Er was the most excited. In the coming year, they will be [-] to [-]. One of them can marry a wife, and the other can get engaged. According to modern people, when they are all adults, they will go to school with elementary school students. Simple and generous.

After the two brothers looked at each other, they reached a tacit agreement, "Mother, you arrange for the three younger brothers to study, and the second brother and I work at home."

Ye Bing flexed his sore wrists. After hearing his son's words, he shook his head subconsciously and said a very practical question, "Now our family has no land, and there is a big girl who takes over all the housework. If you don't study, you basically have nothing to do." Can do."

The land was returned to Mr. Zhu after the divorce. If the family had no income, they should not be able to study. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the family to support so many children. They would have to send them all to study. This would not put a burden on the family. "Mom, then I Let's go to the county to help with the second brother to make money and supplement the family."

The activity of the helper is unstable, and the income is actually not much. After a month, you may not even earn 1 tael of silver. This is not only a waste of time, but also does not help the family.

"If you really want to help the family, then study hard and get admitted as a scholar as soon as possible. In that case, my family can be exempted from taxes and corvee, and can also receive subsidies from the government for free. In the future, no one will dare to bully us orphans easily. Widowed mother." If you want to avoid being bullied, you have to be strong, and Ye Bing will leave sooner or later, but before that, you must arrange the future of these children.

"But mother, if you want to provide education for five of us brothers at one time, it will cost a lot of money." Zhu Zhongyi was still worried about the lack of money at home.

"As long as you study hard and strive to be admitted as a scholar as soon as possible, money is not a problem." Ye Bing did not tell several children about the banknotes given by Zhang Daxian and the vegetable oil business. Sometimes ignorance is also a way to save one's life. means.
