Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family
Chapter 36 The Importance of Reading
Zheng Xiaoman returned to the backyard and continued digging the hole. When the hole was done, she waited for her brother to come back and dig up the soil from the river.
She put the mother rabbit in a small cage alone. In the afternoon, she saw the newborn rabbits in the rabbit nest.
The mother rabbit gave birth to six little rabbits. The newborn rabbits had no hair on their bodies and looked like little mice.
She remembered that the little rabbit was particularly afraid of cold, so she quickly carried the cage into the house and brought a lot of hay to cover the cage.
The happiest people when they saw the rabbits gave birth were Lixia and Chunya.
The rabbits at home have always been taken care of by the two of them, and they do all the cutting and feeding themselves.
Now the big rabbit has finally given birth. The two little ones are squatting in front of the cage and staring at the little rabbits.
"Sister, why is this little rabbit hairless? It looks so ugly."
Chun Ya also nodded, "The little rabbit is so ugly."
Zheng Xiaoman squatted beside them and explained, "The little rabbits have no hair because they stayed in the big rabbit's belly for too short a time and didn't have time to grow hair.
It takes about 30 days for a rabbit to give birth from pregnancy. So the hair on the rabbit will not grow until it is born. You can see the fur on the rabbit in about six or seven days.
Chun Ya held her face and looked at her sister, "Sister, you know a lot."
Lixia also looked at her in admiration, "Sister, how do you know everything?"
My sister knows about sweet potatoes and edible acorns, and she also knows how to raise earthworms.
Now we even know why rabbits are born without hair. It’s really amazing.
Zheng Xiaoman blushed a little when the two little guys looked at her, "I just heard it from others. You should read more books in the future. These books will all have it."
When Lixia heard about reading, the light in her eyes dimmed.
"Sister, I don't study."
"Why? Don't you like reading?"
Lixia pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.
Zheng Xiaoman realized that the child was afraid of spending money.
She touched her brother's head sadly, "Lixia, are you worried that there is no money at home?"
Lixia nodded, then shook her head.
"Sister, I know that my family made some money from selling fish before, but that money was for Dad's medical treatment, and I can't use it. Sister, even if I don't study, I can still make money to support you when I grow up, really."
"Lixia, I understand why you think this way. You have always been very sensible. I know it all.
But I don't agree with your idea. Why is our family so poor? Is it because we are lazier than others? "
"No, there is no lazy person in our family." Lixia said hurriedly.
"Yes, there is no lazy person in our family, so why is our family so poor? And why are all the people in the village so poor?"
Lixia scratched her head, "Sister, I don't know."
Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "Lixia, there is a saying that knowledge changes destiny.
The reason we are so poor is that we know too little.
Look at the rich masters in the city, you will find that there is not one who cannot read and write.
Studying is not necessarily for the purpose of passing an exam, but of course, passing the exam would be the best.
With the fame and honor, our family became a family of farmers and scholars.
But the most important thing about reading is to learn more knowledge.
Only knowledge can enable us to learn to think, become more knowledgeable, and have a longer-term vision.
So you must read this book. We have three pigs at home now, and we can sell them for several taels of silver.
So you don’t have to worry about tuition fees.”
Lixia nodded in confusion, perhaps he didn't quite understand what his sister meant.
But one day in the future, he discovered that although his sister had never been to school, she was a very wise person.
Zheng Xiaoman loved studying in her previous life, but she didn't have the conditions and had to drop out of school early.
As a girl in this life, she could not even think about going to school, so she wanted her brother and younger brother to go to school as well.
After dinner in the evening, Zheng Xiaoman looked at his elder brother and asked, "Brother, do you want to go to school?"
Zheng Qingming turned his head and looked at his sister, "Why do you ask this?"
Zheng Xiaoman sat next to him and said, "I talked about this with Lixia this afternoon, so I wanted to ask you if you want to go to school."
Zheng Qingming thought for a moment before saying, "I'm already thirteen years old, it's too late to study now."
"You are only thirteen, not thirty, it's not too late to study now.
We are not here to take the imperial examinations, so it is good to learn more knowledge."
Zheng Xiaoman was really depressed because no one in the family wanted to go to school.
"Haha, brother, you know your own business. My brain is not flexible enough, so I am not cut out for studying.
Moreover, there are no schools in the nearby villages, so if we want to study, we have to go to the town.
I heard that the tuition for the school in town is five hundred copper coins a month, which is totally out of our reach.
Besides, the family needs someone to take care of it. If I go to the town to study, who will take care of the land at home?"
Zheng Xiaoman looked at his brother's attitude and thought about the current situation, and decided that this was the only way for now.
By next year, her father's leg should be almost healed.
At that time, the family no longer had to spend money on medicine for her father, and all the money earned could be saved, and there would be no problem in supporting her brother and Lixia to go to school.
Maybe because he thought too much during the day, Zheng Xiaoman had a dream at night.
In the dream, Lixia passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. He was wearing a big red flower, riding a tall horse, and called her "sister".
Zheng Xiaoman responded happily, she would be the number one scholar's sister in the future.
Chuck, Chuck, Zheng Xiaoman laughed happily.
When Zhou Chunfeng got up in the morning, she passed by her daughter's door and heard the devilish laughter from inside. She couldn't help but push the door open to take a look.
I found out that it was my daughter who was dreaming. I don’t know what she was dreaming about, but she was so happy.
Because of the dream he had at night, Zheng Xiaoman was in a particularly good mood when he woke up in the morning.
Especially when seeing the beginning of summer, his face was full of relieved smiles.
Lixia was frightened by her sister's gaze, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You have been looking at me and smiling all morning."
Zheng Xiaoman raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Lixia, my future good life depends on you."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Lixia was totally confused. Could it be that his sister had eaten something wrong last night?
I thought it was still too early to go to school, but unexpectedly I heard in the evening that a school was going to be built in the village.
I heard that the teacher for the school has been found, and he is a scholar from the county town.
In the evening, the village chief gathered all the families together and talked about building a school.
Zheng Xiaoman went to their house with her brother. When they heard the news, they looked at each other.
We just talked about studying yesterday, and today a school is being built in the village. What a coincidence.
