Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Judging from the current situation, it is normal for food prices to rise. With the war and chaos outside, there must be a shortage of food everywhere. Everyone knows this, but they just don't want to believe it.

Because of Yao Shu's answer, everyone lost hope and the atmosphere in the crowd became depressed.

Finally, the village chief stood up and said something.

"It doesn't matter. We all have work to do now, so we don't have to worry about making ends meet."

As for where they should go to work after the surrounding villages have built pit courtyards, this is something that needs to be considered in the future. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the village chief can only take one step at a time.

Living in a time of war and chaos, they could not take a long-term view.

Seeing the village chief sitting in charge, Yao Shu left without anyone noticing. She had other things to do. She was thinking about a big thing recently, which was how to make everyone literate.

She had a severe headache when she thought that the Shen family was all illiterate.

Even she herself is semi-literate. Although the words in the two worlds are similar, there are many differences. She almost relies on blind guesses, which is very inconvenient.

It is inconvenient to do many things without literacy, but the cost of studying is really expensive, so expensive that it even makes her heartache.

Even if it is a small private school run by Tong Sheng, it will cost 2 taels of silver for a year's education. This does not include the cost of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. There are so many members of the Shen family, and if they are all sent to a private school, I am afraid that they will have to give up their family wealth. Empty.

Another thing is that most of the people who go to private schools are children. They seem a bit strange at this age, and she herself is a little embarrassed.

I still have to think of other ideas.

On the way home, Yao Shu passed by the Wang brothers' yard, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Wang Chengzhi is a scholar. Although the other party has never taken the initiative to mention that he has fame, she can see that the demeanor of his whole body is that he is knowledgeable. Of course, she does not rely solely on his appearance, but also on Wang Chengzhi's eloquent words. It cannot be achieved by illiterate people.

"Knock knock knock."

"Who?"

"It's me, is Brother Wang at home?"

After Yao Shu reported her home, Wang Chengzhi opened the door quickly.

As soon as the other party approached, Yao Shu smelled the stench of ink. She became more and more certain in her mind that the other party must be a scholar. However, it was not easy for her to ask the other party to help as soon as she opened her mouth. She had to exchange a few words.

"Isn't Wang Er at home?"

"My second brother has gone hunting in the mountains. Auntie, please come in and have a cup of tea."

After the two chatted about their parents for a while, Yao Shu finally got down to business.

"I came here today to ask for your help. I wonder if you can lend me an enlightenment book?"

"Of course you can. I'm going to get it for you. Is it to enlighten Brother Fugui? Although he is older, he can't finish reading whenever he starts. If Auntie doesn't mind, she can also let him come and study with me. Even though I have no reputation, I can still teach him how to read."

Yao Shu just made the first move, and Wang Chengzhi accepted a lot of orders.

The reason why he did this was that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to repay Yao Shu's life-saving grace. Their brothers had received too much kindness from Yao Shu, and they were always thinking about it in their hearts, hoping that one day they could repay Yao Shu.

Otherwise, with the abilities of the two brothers, they can live in the city.

"Why do you dislike him? It's just that my son is not angry and I'm afraid of making you angry."

Yao Shu was also afraid of troubling the other party too much. Shen Fugui was not the only one in their family who needed to study, but the entire family.

"Forget it, if there's anything that doesn't move, just come to me."

Wang Chengzhi handed the book to Yao Shu without forcing it. After all, he also needed a lot of time to study every day to prepare for the scientific examination.

The enlightenment book he gave was a thousand-character essay. Yao Shu opened it and even guessed that she could read the whole book. There were some things that she was not sure about. After asking Wang Chengzhi, she had no questions at all. .

Wang Chengzhi didn't find it strange at all that she could read. In his opinion, a knowledgeable person like Yao Shu must be able to read and reason.

"Thank you very much. I will return the book in two days."

"No, I practiced calligraphy and copied this in my spare time. Auntie, just take it."

It was just an enlightenment book. Wang Chengzhi gave it to him very generously. He could write it down anytime he wanted. The contents of these books were already engraved in his mind.

Finally, Yao Shu took the book and went home in a good mood. Along the way, she was already thinking about how to teach everyone how to read.

When she was approaching her house, she bumped into Shen Jian'an who was returning with a fish.

"Mom, I fished this out of the river."

"This fish is pretty good. You can send it to the Wang family."

Yao Shu was not one to take other people's things for nothing. She originally wanted to look for anything she could get when she got home, but unexpectedly she happened upon it.

"Wang family?"

Shen Jian'an was quite puzzled. Even though the Shen family was already one of the "richest households" in Dahe Village, their family was not always exposed to fish. After finally catching a fish, they couldn't even drink the broth. He It is inevitable that there is some reluctance.

"Yes, go quickly, I just came back from Wang's house with some good things."

As soon as he heard what Yao Shu said, he quickly stopped worrying and immediately changed direction and walked towards the Wang family. If it were anyone else, he would have to go up and ask what the good thing was.

After Yao Shu took the book home, she discovered a big problem. They didn't have pen, ink, paper or inkstone at home.

But there was no way to do it. She could just use charcoal or tree branches to draw, and she quickly had an idea in her mind.

"Old man, come over to work."

"coming."

Shen Nanshan arrived in front of Yao Shu in a short time. He looked around, but he didn't see any work. The yard was neat and tidy, so there was nothing he needed to do.

"What kind of work do you do?"

"You can help me build a board. It can stand under the eaves or hang on the exterior wall."

She just wanted something similar to a blackboard. It was not easy to teach a family how to read. Everyone was busy with things every day, so they didn't necessarily have much free time.

So she thought that it would be useful to write a dozen words on a wooden board every day and let them learn it when they had time.

If anyone has the idea of ​​​​seriously studying, he will be sent to school at that time.

It's just that Yao Shu saw that few of the children at home wanted to study. She hadn't seen any signs of it, but she didn't know if they would change their minds in the future.

Even though Shen Nanshan didn't do much work on weekdays, when he started working, he was still very fast.
