Mr. Transcendence

After Li Zi and Xiao Pangdun left Yuan Anping's house, they hurried to their own house.Little Pangdun's house was closer and he arrived at the door first. The gate of his house was open, and he could still see his mother sitting in the yard sewing clothes.

Li Zi told Fat Dun: "Let's go to Anping together tomorrow... Brother Anping's house to learn calligraphy, don't forget."

Fat Dun patted his chest and said that he would never forget it.After speaking, he shouted cheerfully into the yard, "Mom, I'm back!" Then he ran happily to his mother.And Li Zi also ran home, thinking about telling his grandparents and parents the good news.

Cai Xiaohua heard her son's elated voice, and scolded with a smile: "Little bastard, where did you go to play again? Why are you so happy? I seem to have heard Li Zi's voice just now, why didn't you let him come to play?"

Fat Dun immediately showed off happily, "Mom, I'm not playing. I'm learning calligraphy at Brother Anping's house. I can write my name now, and I can also write Brother Li Zi's name."

Cai Xiaohua was happy and disbelieving when she heard it, "Really?"

Fat pier couldn't hear doubts at this time, and immediately found a small wooden stick, and wrote down the names of Yuan Xiaopang and Li Zi seriously, and then looked at his mother triumphantly, "Look." Pointing to his own name, he said: "These three characters are Yuan-Xiao-pang, and those two characters are Li-."

Cai Xiaohua was very happy when she saw it, and stared at the five characters happily.Thinking that her son could write his own name, better than his father, "Son, you are amazing, this handwriting is really beautiful." She couldn't tell whether the handwriting was good or bad, but she watched her son write The words that come out just feel very good-looking.

Hearing his mother's praise, Fat Dun raised his small chest high, "Brother Anping also praised me. Brother Anping also said that he would teach us arithmetic, saying that he could keep accounts and settle accounts. I don't know what arithmetic is. But it must be amazing."

"Really!" Cai Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised when she heard that, Fatty doesn't know what bookkeeping is, but he does. Isn't that the accountant's skill?Boy An is really good, but those who have studied are different.

Knowing that Fatty can learn characters from Yuan Anping, she couldn't be happier.Which parents are not looking forward to their children becoming a dragon, but because the family is too poor, they really can't afford to send their children to school.Now that he can follow Yuan Anping's literacy, even if he can't pass the exam, he can find a job in the county if he knows some characters.She still expected in her heart that it would be even better if she could really learn the arithmetic that Yuan Anping said, and become an accountant.

When Yuan Hezhuang came back from the outside, he saw his mother-in-law and son beaming, and asked curiously, "Seeing that your mother-in-law is happy, what is the happy event?"

Cai Xiaohua beamed and told her husband that her fat son could learn calligraphy with Yuan Anping, and pointed to Yuan Xiaopang's handwriting on the ground for him to read.He also talked about his own thoughts, such as his son can find a good job in the county to make money in the future, marry a girl from the city, and not have to rely on farming for food, etc. The more I talk, the happier I am.

Yuan Hezhuang couldn't help but look at the writing on the ground, he picked up his son and threw it away, "Good son, you are better than dad."

Putting down his fat son, Yuan Hezhuang said to Cai Xiaohua: "That boy Anping is not bad. I heard that he was always praised by his master. If something happened to his family, he might really be able to be a scholar. He is willing to teach Fat Dun that Fatty’s blessing. Go, send some food to Anping, by the way, take those few eggs you saved too. He teaches Pangdun calligraphy, he is a Mr. Plumpy, we have to show that we can make him teach better Be careful."

Cai Xiaohua felt a little distressed when she heard that she had to deliver food and eggs, after all, her family was not rich.But for the sake of her son, she gritted her teeth, filled more than 60 catties of mixed noodles, and took ten eggs.She dragged her son with the egg, and her husband followed her to Yuan Anping's house.

Yuan Hezhuang followed behind the two mothers, thinking that his son would be able to read and write in the future, his heart was extremely bright.

The same scene happened in Li Zi's family. His grandparents and his parents were very happy after reading Li Zi's handwriting and hearing that Yuan Anping was willing to teach him calligraphy and arithmetic. His grandpa's eyes were even more teary.

Mr. Li's name is Li Fukang, which means wealth and well-being. His mother used a basket of eggs to ask an uncle of the same clan who had attended a private school to give him his name.It's just that although the name is good, it has not met a good time. The family has been poor for eight generations and has not seen a promising one.In fact, the most important thing is that I am too poor, and I have no other skills except a handful of strength.Mr. Li has three sons and two daughters. Li Zi is the boy of his second son's family and his eldest grandson.When this grandson was just born, he also placed great hopes on it, thinking that even if he gritted his teeth, he would send his grandson to a private school.It's a pity that the tax is higher than the previous year, and there are corvees, and the three sons are sick, and the little money they saved is used up, and they owe a lot of money. Since then, the family has been worse for a year. one year.Now there are four grandsons and three granddaughters in the family, and even meals have to be calculated, so there is no money to send the children to private schools.Every time he thinks about it, Li Fukang panics in his heart. In their hearts, it is impossible for an uneducated person to have any great promise, especially when he is in such a troubled world.

Now that my grandson has the opportunity to learn how to read, he may find a job in the county in the future. I am really crying with joy.When he regained his strength, Li Fukang quickly told his son, "Xiaoer, Uncle Yuan Anping's family is too difficult, and his uncle's family is so virtuous. His family must not have much food left. I will ask your mother to distribute some food." Come out, you send it to Boy An, it is a great kindness for him to teach you how to read and write, we can’t show nothing. Our family has no money, so we must send some food.”

If the son can study, he can be successful, even if his belt is tightened so that he does not eat, he is willing.Li Chunsheng nodded quickly after hearing his father's words, "Father, should I send it today or tomorrow?"

Li Fukang thought for a while and said: "Send it today, you go and get your brother and brother back, tell me about it, and then you take the words and send it to Boy An."

"Okay." Li Chunsheng hurried out to find someone.

After the family got together, Li Fukang talked about the matter.Although literacy is a good thing, his other two daughters-in-law were a little unhappy that it was Li Zi who went there.After all, they all have sons, and those who can read can't be their children.

Li Fukang naturally knew some of their careful thoughts, so he said directly: "I have said the words, boy An likes the little fat man of He Zhuang's family, and he wants to teach him how to read, and the words are incidental." The meaning in these words is not Whoever gave something was taught by Yuan Anping.After all, there are still some literate people in the village, who are unwilling to teach even if they are given things. "This can be regarded as the fortune of calligraphy." He told Li Zi, "You have to study hard, study hard, and come back to teach your younger brothers and sisters after you learn it. We didn't go to a private school, so we don't need to talk about those things. Rules, you can teach others how to read."

Li Zi nodded quickly, "I will study hard and give it to my younger brothers and sisters when I come back." The other children were very happy to hear that. They didn't know what the meaning of literacy was. happy.

After listening to Li Fukang's words, the others knew that Yuan Anping didn't accept students casually, and there was no way to send all the children, after all, their family didn't have that much food.Li Zi has been clever since he was a child, and it would be good for him to teach a few younger ones after he learned it.

In the eyes of the villagers, literacy is a very sacred thing, and those children are very envious of the few literate children in the village.It's not that no one wants to learn from those who can read, but that anyone who has learned to read in a private school will inevitably have the idea of ​​being superior to others because of the teaching of the master and the saying of the disciples of the sages.Moreover, it is the husband's responsibility to teach others to read and write. If they do it, they will be said to be overconfident and will be laughed at by others, and will be disliked by the master.They spend money to go to private schools, naturally they want to test for fame, but they can't ruin their reputation and make their master dislike it.Therefore, even if you teach them, you only teach people who are very close, and you have to teach them secretly.As for why this kind of thinking was formed, it is because everyone regards literacy as a very sacred thing, and not everyone dares to be a teacher who teaches people.So if you want to read and write, you can only spend money to go to a private school, otherwise there is no other way.Yuan Anping didn't know about this, even if he knew, he would scoff at it.Besides, being an official has never been included in all his plans.

The door of a farmer's house is usually wide open during the day if there are people in the house.But Yuan Anping was used to closing the courtyard door, so he heard someone knocking on the door, followed by Fat Dun's immature but high voice, "Brother Anping, open the door, my parents are here."

Yuan Anping was a little surprised that Pangdun came to his house so soon, and brought his parents with him. After thinking about it, he thought it must be related to him teaching Pangdun how to read.

He took out hot boiled water from the space, poured three bowls and put them on the table, and immediately went to open the door.As soon as I opened the door, I saw a young man who was not too tall, barely 1.7 meters, carrying a pocket on his back, and a woman wearing a red cotton padded jacket with a basket next to him seemed a little taller than the man, pulling the fat man to look at it with a smile on his face. Yuan Anping.

As soon as Fat Dun saw Yuan Anping, he immediately greeted him happily, "Brother Anping, my parents said they would send you food."

"Food?" Yuan Anping was a little puzzled. He thought that the two people should come to say thank you, but he didn't expect to send food.Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Cai Xiaohua pat Pangdun's head, then smiled and said to herself: "Let's stop standing at the door, let's go inside and talk."

Looking at Cai Xiaohua's appearance, one would think she is a soft-spoken woman, but her voice is unexpectedly high.

Seeing that she was such a straightforward person, Yuan Anping immediately let her in, and they entered the main room together. He quickly said: "It's quite cold, you should drink some hot water."

Cai Xiaohua was not too polite, took a few sips from the bowl, and said with a smile: "The learned people are different." Yuan Anping is willing to teach her family to read and write, and she likes it more and more.

Yuan Anping was about to say that he didn't need to send anything, when he saw that Yuan Hezhuang was even more straightforward, and put the things he was carrying into the grain tank of his family.

Yuan Anping immediately ran over to stop him, "No, I can't accept this thing. It doesn't cost me anything to teach Fatty to read, you don't have to spend so much money."

Cai Xiaohua quickly said: "You are willing to teach my fat man, that's a blessing for fat man. Your uncle and I thought that your family didn't have enough food, so we gave you some, and these ten eggs are all from you and me." Uncle’s wish, I must accept it. Speaking of which, you are a fat gentleman, so we should give you something.”

Yuan Anping said, "Auntie, I just teach him how to read and write, and I'm not a gentleman. I really can't accept this thing, and everyone's life is hard these days. You'd better take it back, and give the egg to Fatty as well." Keep it, I don't want it."

Fat Dun quickly said: "Brother Anping, I don't want to eat, I will give you all to eat."

Cai Xiaohua loves her son very much, and just because she loves her son, she wants Yuan Anping to accept it even more, "I want it, I want it. Don't dislike the little things that my aunt's family gives me."

Yuan Anping quickly said: "Why would I dislike it? But you should take it back, I just teach him to learn Braille, so there is no need to spend so much money."

After hearing this, Cai Xiaohua wanted Yuan Anping to accept her, lest Yuan Anping teach less. After winking at Yuan Hezhuang, "Whatever the cost is, it should be."

Yuan Hezhuang also said: "Anping, listen to Uncle, don't refuse, I have something to do with your aunt's house, so let's go first."

Yuan Anping wanted to follow immediately, carrying the things to return, "No, uncle, aunt, I really can't take the things, you take them back."

Yuan Hezhuang deliberately put on a straight face, "Anping, don't refuse, or uncle is angry, so let's do it." As the family of three left as quickly as possible, Yuan Anping was speechless for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Li Zi and his parents also came to the door, and they pushed and pushed again, but finally accepted it helplessly.Looking at the extra mixed noodles and sweet potatoes in the tank, Yuan Anping shook his head helplessly, he is the only one who is still stressed after receiving food these days.
