Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"Is Er Leng's sister-in-law at home?" After clearing away the dishes, Jiang Ling knocked on Zhao Er Leng's door.

The second daughter-in-law looked at Jiang Ling in front of her in surprise. "Is there anything Mrs. Jiang wants from me?"

"Didn't you say a while ago that our family would notify you when we found a teacher!" Jiang Ling replied with a smile.

"What, sister-in-law Jiang...you really found Mr. Teacher?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law asked in disbelief with staring eyes.

"Yes, my younger brother is going to stay in our village for a while. During this time, I can take my four children to read and write. Would you like your eldest son to come and study too?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Oh, that... that's great! When will the class start?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law continued to ask with a smile on her face.

"This afternoon, I'll call you when the time comes!"

As soon as Jiang Ling returned home, she saw her four children surrounded by Jiang Zhishan. Jiang Suihe took out the "Three Character Classic" and asked, "Uncle, how do you pronounce this word?"

"This character, read shan. This character is also my uncle's name." Jiang Zhishan explained patiently.

Seeing that Jiang Zhishan and the four children had become one with each other, Jiang Ling's heart was completely relieved.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zhishan handed Jiang Suihe and the others to study in the corner, and the village women who worked at Jiang Ling's house glanced over there from time to time, with hesitant expressions on their faces.

The village women did not leave as usual after finishing their work, and stood there looking at Jiang Ling with a little bewildered eyes.

Jiang Ling was a little surprised, looked at the village women and asked: "Is there anything else for the sisters-in-law?"

"Jiang... Mrs. Jiang, you... you hired a teacher?" The one who spoke was Mrs. Sun from Lujia Village.

"It's not a teacher, this is my younger brother." Jiang Ling replied.

"Then...then...can you let my little tiger come to class too? Jiang, don't worry I won't take advantage of you, I will pay the repair fee, and I will give your family ten catties of white rice after the autumn harvest!" Sun's words are considered ridiculous. Opened a hole.

The village women next to me all agreed with each other.

The conversation between the village woman and Jiang Ling reached Jiang Zhishan's ears, and Jiang Zhishan came over, looking at the expectant woman in his eyes, and said: "Aunt and sister-in-law, just ask your children to bring a bench! No need to pay for bundle repairs!"

The village women were all shocked when they heard this. They waved their hands repeatedly and lowered their heads and said, "No, you can rest assured. We have agreed that each family will give ten catties of white rice after the autumn harvest. Don't be too little!"

"Oh, sister-in-law Jiang, we're done with our work, let's go first!" Several village women pushed and shoved away from Jiang Ling's house while talking.

In the conversation just now, Jiang Ling heard the word "you" very clearly, which really confirmed the saying that "everything is inferior but studies are high". , If you pass the exam, it's okay.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling turned to Jiang Zhishan and said, "You can take the repair fee for you, don't give in!"

"But...but elder sister, I haven't passed the examination of scholar, so I am not qualified to teach them reading. If I charge this bunch of repair fees, I will be uneasy!" Jiang Zhishan rubbed his hands and seemed a little at a loss.

Jiang Ling glanced at Jiang Zhishan and said, "Zhishan, then the eldest sister asks you, how many children are doing well now, but in the future, if all the children in the village come over, what will you do?"

"This..." Jiang Zhishan didn't seem to have considered this question, and when Jiang Ling asked him this question, he could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

"Now you need to pay for the travel expenses for the exam, you just accept what they give, and it is only natural for you to impart knowledge to your children and accept their things!"

Jiang Ling's words made Jiang Zhishan ponder. He felt in a daze that the old scholars who had taught him seemed to be doing the same thing. The master gave a few catties of grain, the west gave some eggs, and the rich gave some silver. Year after year passed for a long time.

Jiang Zhishan nodded and said nothing.

After dinner, the four children and Zhao Dabao from Zhao Erleng's family sat in front of the fire, while Jiang Zhishan began to teach the children how to read with Jiang Suihe's Three Character Classic.

"Uncle, what does it mean to be kind at the beginning of a person?" Jiang Suihe asked seriously.

"People are born with kind nature!" Jiang Zhishan replied seriously.

"But...but why are there still bad guys?" Jiang Suhe asked with staring eyes in bewilderment.

"Sui He asked a very good question. This is the next sentence I want to say. Sex is similar and behavior is far away. This sentence means that people have similar personalities at first, but then there will be environmental influences, which will cause people to be different!" Jiang Zhishan explained patiently.

The few little fellows seemed to understand, but they all followed Jiang Zhishan's example and recited the Three Character Classic while shaking their heads.

Except for Jiang Wenxi, everyone learned a few words very quickly. In about half an hour, the words "human nature is good at the beginning, similar in nature and far away from each other" are all well written, especially Jiang Suihe, Jiang Zhishan looked at Jiang Suihe The strokes of words on the ground stained with water are even more lamentable. My niece's talent for reading is really high.

After learning literacy, Jiang Zhishan began to teach arithmetic, and a few little guys started counting and counting with their fingers. For addition and subtraction beyond ten, they almost took off their shoes and started counting their toes.

Jiang Zhishan shook his head helplessly, he went back to the house and took out a beautifully shaped abacus from his bag.

I saw him fiddle with it gently, which immediately attracted the children's attention.

"Uncle, what is this?" Jiang Yaojie asked curiously.

"Abacus!" Jiang Zhishan fiddled with the beads of the abacus lightly as he spoke, making a crisp sound.

"With this, you don't have to count your fingers! For example..." Jiang Zhishan began to demonstrate how to use the abacus.

Jiang Yaojie's blood boiled with excitement, his eyes almost stuck to the abacus.

"Okay, who of you will come up and have a try?" Jiang Zhishan put the abacus on the ground and asked.

"Me!" Jiang Yaojie stood up from his chair and said.

Jiang Ling found that Jiang Yaojie seemed to be very talented in arithmetic, and he basically mastered the use of the abacus in just a short while.

The remaining four little ones were also curiously fiddling with the abacus.

After teaching literacy and arithmetic, today's class came to an end, and Zhao Dabao left Jiang Ling's house in a daze.

Jiang Suihe looked at the book of the Three Character Classic with bright eyes, writing and drawing on the ground from time to time.

Jiang Yaojie kept fiddling with the abacus and recalling what Jiang Zhishan said just now. As for Jiang Wenxi leaning on the chair with a distressed face, she couldn't figure out why these hooks were so responsible, and what happened to those numbers. thing.

"Zhishan, how much is this abacus?" Jiang Ling walked to Jiang Zhishan's side and asked.

"I remember that the cheapest one in Shangru Zhai in Pingxi County costs three hundred copper plates, and the expensive ones cost seven or eight taels of silver!" Jiang Zhishan thought for a while.

Jiang Ling was a little surprised when she heard it. Although she was mentally prepared, she never thought that an abacus would be so expensive, let alone a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jiang Ling sighed helplessly, thinking that after the children fell asleep, he would go to the mall to see what the abacus price was.
