The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

Shen Ge stayed in the guest room of Xun's house that night, and the sun had already risen when he woke up the next day. He looked out the window in confusion, and then hurriedly lifted the quilt to get up and put on his coat.

When Shen Ge got up, the whole Zhuangzi had already woken up, and everything in Zhuangzi was in order.

As usual, Luzhi heard the noise and came over, followed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old servant, who came with a water basin and other things.

"Master Shen, why don't you wash up first?"

Shen Ge nodded to her, "Thank you."

Lu Zhi smiled: "My lord, don't be too polite."

Chen Ge rinsed his mouth with a gargling stick dipped in green salt, then washed his face with the handkerchief next to him, and asked Lu Zhi, "Where is Master Xun? I'm going to say goodbye to Master Xun, and I should go back."

"Young Master Shen, eat breakfast first, and wait for the slaves to report to the master."

Shen Ge followed Luzhi to eat breakfast, and the dining place was in the side hall.As soon as Shen Ge sat down, a servant came over with a tray. On it was a bowl of porridge, a plate of soup-filled buns the size of a child's fist, a plate of cakes, and two plates of side dishes. They were exquisite and unusual. Knowing where to go for high-end, even Shen Ge's daily breakfast in his previous life was not as rich and delicious as this tray of breakfast.

After Shen Ge finished his breakfast, Luzhi took him to Xun Feiguang's place. Xun Feiguang was practicing martial arts in the backyard wearing a single shirt. He was not affected by Shen Ge's approach. Every move, every move, Zhang Zhang Chi Chi, the whole set of movements was full of strength and beauty.

Xun Feiguang was sweating all over his body. After the clothes were taut, Shen Ge could easily see his strong and smooth muscles. From the chest muscles to the leg muscles, every part seemed to be full of strength.

As a man, Shen Ge was very envious. His physical fitness is not very good now, and he had to rest three times on the mountain. Even in his previous life, when he was in good shape, he had at most four-pack abdominal muscles that were not obvious. There is no comparison with Xun Feiguang at all.

After practicing a set of movements, Xun Feiguang straightened up, took a cloth towel from the shelf standing on the edge of the backyard to wipe his sweat, looked at Shen Ge, and asked him what's the matter with his eyes.

Shen Ge approached slightly and bowed slightly, "Master Xun, thank you for your hospitality."

"You're welcome, want to go down the mountain?"

Shen Ge was a little embarrassed, "There is a school in the village, I have to go back and have a look."

"Is there any help available?"

"No need," Shen Ge quickly waved his hands, "I just came to tell you."

Xun Feiguang gave a "hmm" and said, "You don't have to be so polite in front of me."

A silly smile hung on Shen Ge's face, but he didn't speak.

After saying goodbye to Xun Feiguang, Shen Ge went down the mountain and returned to the village.The village had high expectations for the school. Everyone put down their farm work and worked together to build the school earlier.

The money for building the school comes from the clan, and everyone is not stingy at the moment. Those who have good bricks, good stones, and good wood in the family donate one after another, while building their own houses has to be pushed back.

When Shen Ge went, the men in the village were already working in full swing. Even a few old people in the village were there. Shen Ge counted them hastily and found that at least 20 people were busy working, and his neighbor Manzi was also there.

Seeing Shen Ge approaching, Shen Hongfa asked with a smile on his face: "Ge'er, what do you think of this school?"

The school has not been built yet, but it has already taken shape, and it has been discussed before. Shen Ge can easily see what is being built, and can't help but nod, "It's quite grand, and it's the first school in ten miles and eight villages. share."

Shen Hongfa's brows were stretched out on his thin face, and his waist was straight. He was quite proud that the school could be built in his hands.Don't say that ten miles and eight villages don't have such a good school, these ten miles and eight villages don't have schools at all, only the county towns have them, and their Shenjia Village is the only one.

Seeing their uncle and nephew talking, the second master yelled from a distance: "Mr. Xiucai is here?"

Erye is almost eighty this year, and seventy is rare in life. It is rare that Erye is still so tough.Shen Ge hurried up to help him, "Second Master, are you there?"

"Yes, there is a school in the village, I have to come and stare at this old bone." The second master also smiled, with a bit of pride in his brows, "Mr. Xiucai, do you think this house is big enough?"

"Enough is enough, such a big room can accommodate hundreds of people."

The school has not yet been built, but the foundation has been laid.The village plans to build three houses here, one for Shen Ge's study and the other for a school.

Shen Hongfa and Second Master were very happy to hear what he said, and they were always cheerful.

Shen Ge originally wanted to help, but both Shen Hongfa and the second master firmly disagreed, Mr. Xiucai is so precious, how can he do this?

Shen Ge looked at it for a while, but there was really nothing to do, so he bid farewell to them and went home.

Three hundred thousand is too difficult and not suitable for enlightenment. Shen Ge plans to compile teaching materials for schoolchildren. In addition to teaching writing, arithmetic must also be taught. Most schoolchildren have no chance to take the imperial examination. Knowing writing and arithmetic may be what they need to survive ability.

Shen Ge hopes that the school he runs can really change the fate of these children, so that they will not be confined to the land handed down by their ancestors all their lives, and have no opportunity and ability to see the wider world.

Shen Ge plans to prepare [-] textbooks for the first batch. Eighty textbooks should be enough for a village.

These days it is impossible to print, and it is also inconvenient to copy. All textbooks need to be written by Shen Ge.He started writing in the morning, had a quick lunch in the middle, and didn't finish until the sun went down.

After rubbing his eyes, Shen Ge rubbed his sore wrists. He sat on a chair in the corridor and stretched. He felt that the muscles from his back to his neck were instantly relaxed, and he couldn't help sighing.

The light in the room is not good, so he specially moved the table to the corridor. Now the breeze blows, the written paper rustles, and each sheet is full of neat words. Shen Ge feels a sense of accomplishment after reading it.

These papers have not yet been made into a book, and it would be too expensive to go to the academy in the county to have someone bind them. Shen Ge plans to sew these papers together with a sewing needle to make a simple thread-bound book.

When Manzi came, Shen Ge was sewing books in the corridor. Seeing Manzi, Shen Ge raised his head to greet him, "Have you ever eaten?"

"Not yet." Manzi approached, covered in moisture.

Manzi built a house all day, and his body was covered with sweat and stains. After returning, he took a shower before coming here.He took the needle and thread from Shen Ge, and continued to sew the place Shen Ge just sewed.

Shen Ge is not very proficient in doing these things, and the two sewn books are placed on the desk, the stitches are a bit crooked, and the stitches are not dense enough, it is really not beautiful.Manzi took a look and knew what Shen Ge wanted to do. His needlework was much finer than Shen Ge's.

Shen Ge shook his hand, the pages were too thick, he had to use his strength to make the needle penetrate the pages, after sewing for so long, his white and long fingers were already red with dried mottled blood on them.

Shen Ge looked at the young man's silent face, and said, "I'll cook, barbarian, why don't you accompany me to dinner."

Manzi responded, and Shen Ge got up to cook.

In fact, there are not many tricks in the rice of the peasant family. There are only so many seasonings. Most of them only use oil and salt. Soy sauce is too extravagant, and only a little oil is added.

Chen Ge's cooking is much more refined. He doesn't save the condiments that should be added, such as ginger and garlic.

After a while, three dishes were placed on the table under the eaves, fried amaranth, fried pumpkin, and a venison chili sauce.Shen Ge filled two big bowls of rice, put one of them in front of Manzi, "Eat first."

Manzi didn't refuse, he picked up the bowl and ate it. Seeing that he was eating well, Shen Ge's own appetite also came up.

The two of them didn't pay attention to eating without talking. Shen Ge swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Manzi, do you know when the school will be built?"

"It only takes three days. After it is built, let it dry and it can be used within ten days."

"Hey, so fast?" Shen Ge was a little stunned.

"There are so many people, it doesn't take much trouble."

"Then I have to quickly confirm the list of school children. Your Niu Ben is coming too, isn't it?"

Manzi looked up at the smiling Chen Ge, and nodded.His family did not belong to the Shen family, and because Niu Duzi was coming to study, his family produced a good beam, and he also contributed to building the school.

Shen Ge was a little excited when talking about these things, Manzi listened to him in silence, and took the initiative to wash the dishes after eating.Seeing that there was not much water in the water tank, the barbarian went to fetch water again with an empty bucket until the water tank was full.

Seeing him busy in and out, Shen Ge's heart warmed up, and he couldn't help smiling.

After picking the water, Manzi inspected the firewood room, and said to Shen Ge: "There is not much firewood, I will come to chop it tomorrow, so don't do it."

Shen Ge verbally agreed, planning to get up early tomorrow morning to chop firewood by himself, so as not to miss Manzi after he was busy.

Now that Shen Ge is in better health, Manzi doesn't need to come over to watch the night, basically he doesn't sleep with him, and Manzi goes back after work.

Shen Ge found the original book and read it for about an hour, then turned off the lights and went to bed, telling himself in his heart that he had to get up early tomorrow.

There is no alarm clock here, and Shen Ge can't hear the rooster crowing very well, and it can't beat the powerful biological clock. When Shen Ge was woken up the next day, the sun rose again.

He got out of bed in his pajamas and raised his voice to ask the children outside, "What's wrong?"

The children outside were a little anxious, "Hurry up, Mr. Xiucai, your classmates are coming to see you!"

The whole Shenjia Village knew that Shen Ge got up relatively late. As soon as the carriage of Shen Ge's classmate entered the village, the villagers greeted Shen Ge's classmate after asking clearly, and at the same time sent someone to inform Shen Ge so that he would not be stuck on the bed.

Shen Ge quickly found out the clothes and put them on, opened the door with a squeak, looked at the anxious child in front of him, and asked, "Which classmate am I? What does it look like? Have you seen anyone?"

"See you." The child panted, "There are five of them in total, and they are all masters in long gowns. Grandpa Hongfa told me to tell you quickly."

"Understood, thank you very much, please go and help me guide my classmates."

The child got an errand and nodded solemnly, "Hey, I'll go now."

Shen Ge hurriedly ran into the kitchen to make a fire to boil the tea, and then washed up. He looked through his memory to see who his classmates were, he already had a good idea.
