Blessed woman in the farm gate

Chapter 164 Persuading Reading

"Youxi, did you listen to your master today?" Li Fuyue caught the little girl who was trying to slip away in time.

Youxi couldn't go out, so she had to stand in front of Li Fuyue aggrievedly, holding her small purse with her two fleshy hands, her small eyes were very erratic: "Of course, Aunt, Youxi is obedient .”

"Then how did I hear that you don't want to practice calligraphy, and you don't want to memorize books with your master?"

Youxi's small eyes wandered to Jing Zhi, her brother must have betrayed her!Jing Zhi innocently blinked his lovely eyes: You can't blame me, A Niang said, I let you study for your own good.

Youxi sighed pitifully, Jing Zhi felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, Li Fuyue stretched out her hand, and turned the little girl's head: "Youxi, Auntie is talking to you, where are you looking? ?”

"Aniang, I'm sorry, Youxi lied just now, I didn't complete the task my master entrusted to us." Youxi blinked those shining eyes and looked at Li Fuyue, "But Youxi really doesn't like memorizing books and practicing calligraphy. , I feel a headache when I read the book."

Li Fuyue knelt down and looked at her with some helplessness: "I don't know who you inherited this problem from. We both like to read books." Youxi looked innocent and blinked at Li Fuyue : "Aniang, why do I have to study too? My brother likes to read and let him read, but Youxi doesn't like it, and"

Youxi didn't say the following words. Although she was young, she knew that her mother didn't like these words.

Li Fuyue slightly raised her eyebrows: "And what? Tell me, I won't be angry."

Then Youxi said cautiously: "And why do I want to study? The sisters around me don't study, and those uncles and aunts also said that it is useless for girls to study. Since it is useless, why should Youxi study?" What about reading?"

Li Fuyue was stunned for a moment: "How can reading be useless? Reading is a matter of gender, it can acquire knowledge from books and help you understand more truths." Li Fuyue's voice suddenly stopped, and she He wanted to teach Youxi that reading should not be a privilege limited to men, but his words gradually became weak.

There is absolutely no problem with these words, but under the background of such a feudal society, these words seem so weak. Of course, reading can make sense and gain knowledge, but the reason why men in feudal society read books is just to grow up. Do you know the past and the present?The fundamental reason is to gain fame and change one's own destiny. As a woman, even if Youxi is full of poetry and prose, it is difficult to obtain such power.

Li Fuyue's heart suddenly throbbed, for herself, for her daughter, and also for this woman who has more or less educated but sticks to the worldly restrictions.At that time, Li Fuyue didn't know what troubles her little girl would cause when she grew up.

Seeing Li Fuyue's expression suddenly became a little sad, Youxi and Jingzhi were in a hurry, and Youxi was even more afraid that Li Fuyue would be angry because she didn't study hard, so she reached out and grabbed Li Fuyue's belt: "Mother, I'm sorry, Youxi shouldn't be disobedient."

Li Fuyue knew that the change in her expression had frightened the two children, so she stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Youxi's little head: "No need to apologize, it's not Youxi's fault." After speaking, Li Fuyue walked out of the room first, she was afraid of waiting Going down with your own emotions can scare the kids.

In the room, Youxi was very annoyed: "Brother, is it because of Youxi's disobedience that Auntie is so sad?"

Jing Zhi nodded: "It must be like this. You Xi, you got into trouble. When Dad left home, he said that he wanted us to stay with A Niang to make A Niang happy. But You Xi, you don't study hard, Auntie. Mother is very sad now." Jing Zhi's analysis successfully made Youxi burst into tears: "Brother, what should Youxi do? Youxi doesn't want to make Mother sad."

Jing Zhi thought about it carefully: "I know what to do!" As he pulled Youxi and whispered, Youxi wiped the tears on his cheeks and nodded solemnly: "Youxi understands!"

After Li Fuyue returned to her own room, her emotions calmed down a lot. First of all, she must let Youxi study, no matter whether this knowledge can get the fame or not in the end, she has to read what should be read, just like herself, at least she can read. If you know some allusions, your knowledge will naturally be wider.

After realizing this, Li Fuyue came out of the strange circle of thinking. She planned to go to Youxi, tell her the importance of studying, and asked Jing Zhi to supervise her by the way, but when she walked to the study, As soon as he opened the door, he saw two children, You Xi and Jing Zhi, surrounded by Li Congxin, racking their brains to recite a poem.

Youxi couldn't memorize it, and her anxious eyes began to turn red slightly, but she still refused to put the book down. Li Congxin felt distressed when she saw it, and comforted her: "Youxi, you can't be eager for success in reading. Come on, I want to put the book away." Put it down, will uncle take you out to play for a while? Don't worry."

Youxi shook her head stubbornly: "No, Youxi can memorize it. Youxi will study hard in the future so as not to make Auntie sad." Jing Zhi also nodded beside him: "Uncle, Youxi can, she It’s just that I usually don’t like to read, but I’m very smart, Youxi will soon be able to write the words my master asked me to write!”

Li Congxin felt distressed and relieved, so he had no choice but to remind Youxi next to her when she couldn't recite it. After stumbling, Youxi finally recited this poem, and Youxi blushed happily: " Uncle, brother, I've memorized it!" As she spoke, Youxi jumped on the spot, and even her voice jumped a little.

Jing Zhi was also happy. Although he could memorize it long ago, he would recite it when he saw his sister. He was even happier than memorizing it himself: "Youxi, you are awesome!" Li Congxin was very proud, although The back is not smooth, but it is enough to show that this child is talented. When he was four years old, he was still playing in the mud in the village!
Youxi was praised one after another by her brother and uncle, her little face was slightly flushed, her fleshy little hands were entangled, and she seemed a little shy, but she hadn't forgotten what the purpose of the endorsement was: "I have to go to Aniang again Recite it once, so Aniang won't be angry with Youxi!" She ran outside with two short legs, and bumped into Li Fuyue head-on.

Youxi touched her small forehead, looked up at Li Fuyue: "Aniang."

Li Fuyue squatted down, reached out and rubbed Youxi's forehead: "What's wrong? But it hurts?" Youxi shook her head, her big black eyes reflected Li Fuyue's voice, Li Fuyue's voice followed The softness was several degrees: "From now on, you have to watch the road when you walk. If you get hurt, Auntie will be worried."

Both Youxi and Jing Zhi nodded obediently, and Youxi blushed: "Aniang, I recited a poem and I want to recite it to you." In fact, Li Fuyue had already heard it outside just now, but her complexion was not good. Xian, nodded: "Okay, You Xi will recite it."

Youxi thought about it in her head first, and then recited it. It was much better than the stumbling just now. Li Fuyue smiled slightly, her heart was so soft that she pulled Youxi into her arms: "Youxi is so smart!"

Tears slowly formed in Youxi's eyes: "Aniang, I'm sorry today, and youxi will study hard in the future. My uncle said that Aniang asked Youxi to study for the good of Youxi. Youxi shouldn't be with you. Auntie is angry."

Li Fuyue said softly: "But Auntie is not angry. Auntie will not be angry with Youxi and Jingzhi. As long as you can read and study well, Auntie will be happy. You don't need to work hard. When Auntie asks you to study In order to make your life better, it’s not necessary for you to learn something, understand? You still have to play when it’s time to play.”

Youxi and Jing Zhi looked at each other, their eyes were sparkling.

"Didn't you always want to play horse riding games with uncle? Come on, today uncle will accompany you to have fun!" Both children cheered, and quickly dragged Li Congxin out. Li Congxin was led by the two children Walking forward, he kept reminding the two of them to slow down, with helpless smiles on their faces.

After such an experience, Youxi has become more serious about studying, and she will never hide from her master anymore, and even complete the tasks assigned by her master ahead of time. Li Fuyue never thought that her little girl is also the king of scrolls. potential.

"This kid, Youxi, has been extraordinarily excited during this time, and even Zhiwei has become more serious." Li Miaoyue had just come down from the upstairs study room, and at this time was choosing dishes with Li Fuyue, "And Zhiwei, this kid, is a typical example. If you don’t force yourself to learn, you won’t be able to move.”

Li Fuyue sighed: "Youxi is serious. I was worried that she refused to study before, but now that she is so excited, I am also worried. Jing Zhi has always made me worry, and now he can help me bring water. I can't say it's peace of mind, what worries me about this kid is that he's not very willing to communicate with outsiders."

"Little sister, why do you worry about it? The child is only so young. If you worry about it, you will worry about it when the children grow up and get married."

Li Fuyue shuddered, and couldn't imagine what the children would look like when they grew up: "By the way, didn't the eldest sister go to the city to deliver meals to the eldest brother-in-law? Why hasn't she come back?" From them to the town It's not too far away, and it stands to reason that he should have returned long ago.

Just as they were talking, there was a sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near. Li Fuyue and Li Miaoyue looked at each other, put down their work, went out, and saw a horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the Li family's yard, and Chen Qing got out of the carriage first. , and then carefully picked up Li Yayue.

"Slow down, why are there so many pebbles here?" Chen Qing kicked away all the pebbles in front of the carriage.

Li Yayue came down with his hand: "Perhaps it was piled up by Jing Zhi and his children when they were playing around, don't be so nervous, how can they be so delicate, I have walked this road many times, I won't fall. "

"Big sister, why did you come back at this time? My little sister and I were still talking about you just now."

Li Yayue's face turned red slightly: "Something happened." Chen Qing added with a smile beside him: "But, it's a happy event." Li Yayue's hand unconsciously touched her belly, Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue both opened their eyes slightly with a quiet smile on their face, could it be that!

Li Yayue nodded lightly, expressing her acquiescence, both Li Miaoyue and Li Fuyue were pleasantly surprised.

"Father and mother have gone to the vegetable garden right now, and they won't be back until later. When they come back and hear the news, they will definitely be happy." The smile on Li Miaoyue's happy face did not come down. However, the same is true for Li Fuyue. They all have the same thought in their hearts-the lives of their elder sisters are really on the right track.

They all know in their hearts that the elder sister actually likes children the most. She likes the children in the family just by looking at them. It's just that she encountered such a failed marriage a few years ago and suffered from abuse. She had the idea of ​​giving birth by herself, but after all these years, the days are getting better and better, and she is married to Chen Qing, but her stomach has not moved yet. Now the child is finally here, and the heart of her elder sister is finally put it down.

Today's Li family is in a happy and pleasant atmosphere, even the water is rarely noisy, but at night, Li Fuyue's sleep is not so peaceful.It was noisy and chaotic again. In the light of the fire, there were chaotic figures holding children or packages, running around in the gunpowder smoke.The raging fire ignited the forest, and the fiery and desperate temperature seemed to turn the moon into a blood moon.

Li Fuyue didn't know where she was. Among the crowd running around, she shouted something loudly, but the voice couldn't get out, and she was trapped in the firelight. She only felt that her thinking was dull, and there seemed to be something in her head. What information was about to move, desperately trying to remind her, like a layer of ice water poured into the firelight, she finally remembered.

What about Jingzhi and Youxi?

What about Shuishui?
Where did the family go?

Li Fuyue struggled in the flames, and the names kept appearing in her mind, finally getting her out of that psychedelic dream.It's just that Li Fuyue was not very comfortable when she woke up, her head was like a lump of paste, painful and confused, she stretched out her hand and touched her forehead with great effort, the touch was hot, followed by a layer of greasy sweat.

She has a fever.

Li Fuyue closed her eyes, trying to regain some strength.The noisy voice in the dream seemed to be still echoing in my ears for a long time, Li Fuyue opened her eyes in an instant, the voice seemed real, it didn't come from a dream!

I don't know where the strength came from, but Li Fuyue turned over and sat up. Although her body was still limp and uncomfortable, Li Fuyue still gritted her teeth and got out of bed. Instead of going out to check the situation outside, she went to see the three children first.

Youxi and Jing Zhi had been playing like crazy all day today, and they are still soundly asleep at the moment, but Shui Shui is a child who sleeps deeply, and external sounds rarely wake him up.

Li Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief, there was a tentative knock on the door outside the house, Li Fuyue was vigilant and didn't make a sound, but the sound suddenly became louder, which made Li Fuyue feel relieved.
