In the famine year, the group pet cubs awakened to farm in Shanhaijing

Chapter 75
Since there was a group of chicken cubs in the yard, it has become a lot more lively, chattering non-stop.

The irregular ground in front of this house has been stepped on and leveled, and some small sandstones will be picked up by the chickens with their mouths and thrown outside, forming a hill. The slightly larger stones were cleaned up by Xiaocai a few days ago clean.

Although Cheng Lin hadn't fenced in a yard yet, it already had the appearance of a yard.

After Cheng Miaomiao accidentally learned that chicken manure can also be used to fertilize the field, she told Xiao Caiqian that she must go back to the vegetable field in the backyard to solve the chicken problem, and she had to hold back outside, and she was determined not to let it out.

Xiao Cai is serious: "!!"

Xiao Cai immediately turned around and told the chicks, they didn't know if they understood or not when they chattered.

Before replanting corn, the stubble stalks in the field must be burned clean, and then the burned ash mixed with the soil in the field and turned over again. At this time, the cattle in the village are useless and cannot be borrowed, so they can only be plowed by hand. land.

Cheng Lin turned the land for two days first, and then started to plant it.

Both Ye Ning and him are hard-working hands, their movements are crisp and neat, and they don't sloppy. Even because they only have two acres of land now, the two of them spent a whole day planting the millet seedlings.

Before the separation, it would take four or five days for replanting.

The warm breeze blows gently, and the green leaves of the seedlings stretch in the wind, making a rustling sound. The whole field is like wandering in a green ocean. Just looking at it makes people feel refreshed.

But everyone who has seen it has nothing to say.

Cheng Lin also felt that the variety of millet seedlings given by the village chief this time was too good. Questions, the final harvest must be a lot.

Cheng Miaomiao: Hidden merit and fame.

On the other side, Cheng Miaomiao was trapped in double homework and couldn't extricate herself.

Cheng Miaomiao heard Ji Huai's words that day, and felt that what he said made sense: as long as she learns fast enough, homework can't stop her from going up the mountain.

Therefore, no matter what excessive reciting and literacy tasks Dr. Zeng gave these two days, she was very active, and the sooner the better, but what she didn't expect was that there were more and more homework, and she even added the medicine classics.

Is this something a four-year-old should know?

The six or seven-year-old children in the village are still running around with friends and friends all day long, going down the river to catch fish, and going up the mountain to hunt pigweed and pick wild fruits, and they seem to be very happy.

— This is not right.

Cheng Miaomiao gradually tasted something different.

She held her head up and asked suspiciously: "Brother Ji Huai, are you sure this is really useful?"

Ji Huai put the selected vegetables into the basin and poured water to wash them. He turned his head and glanced at her, and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course it's useful. Do you think we have time to go to the mountains today?"

"I heard that when you study with a teacher, you have to do it together, but Uncle Zeng didn't even ask us to do it."

Although Dr. Zeng is not forgiving, he is actually kind-hearted.

Otherwise, Ji Huai, a person who eats and drinks, should have been kicked out long ago. The county magistrate couldn't find his family, and the village head couldn't afford the resettlement fee. Pay for housing and meals.

Cheng Miaomiao had never heard of these things.

Seeing that she was interested, Ji Huai told her all the bits and pieces he had heard about Shu Xiu. For example, there was a school opened by an old scholar in the village, which accepted children to study in elementary school, but the tuition fee for a year was two taels. ; Another example is that the repair fee for apprenticeship was originally paid for dried meat, but now half a bucket of rice is charged.

It is said that the days of drought are so sad these years, and the old scholar can't farm the fields now, so he can only rent out the fields to collect grain as rent.

He and his old wife live off tuition and repairs.

Fortunately, the old scholar taught a few children before, and his reputation is not bad. Over the years, there have been a steady stream of students in the school, and the parents of the students will occasionally send some things, so they can barely make ends meet.

But in the eyes of the villagers, it is already a decent family.

"Hey, then didn't we take advantage of Uncle Zeng!"

Cheng Miaomiao suddenly became happy, her eyes flickering.

Tilting his head and looking at him, he asked again: "Then what do you mean by being a child and a scholar? Does it mean that you can become a scholar if you have read the book and can read? Then will we be able to be a scholar in a few years?"

Ji Huai shook his head faintly, but he was not very clear.

Dr. Zeng who had just walked in laughed instantly when he heard the childish words, and said cheerfully, "You can't be a master scholar, Brother Huai is still possible, you don't even need to think about it."

"why?"

Cheng Miaomiao was furious.

Is this saying that she is a poor student?

"Only men can take the imperial examination, and there are not many people in the county who are admitted as scholars every year, let alone you are still a little girl, even if you can afford Shuxiu, no school will accept you to study." Dr. Zeng squeezed Pinch her bulging cheeks.

"So why don't you say thank you, Uncle Zeng?"

"You are younger than Dad, you are the younger brother. Dad said he wanted to call him uncle."

Cheng Miaomiao raised her head, blinked her dark eyes twice, and asked in confusion, "Why can't little girls go to school to study? Are only little girls not allowed to study?"

Meeting her clear and bright pupils, Doctor Zeng fell silent.

If this was a question from a little girl in Cardamom Age, it might sound like she still has a bit of resistance to the world, but Miaomiao is only four years old, and she is just simply confused about why there is a difference between men and women in reading.

Because everyone thinks that a girl who has no talent is a virtue.

You should learn how to care for your husband and raise your children. Even the smartest girl will eventually get married, take care of the household chores for her husband, manage the backyard, and spread the branches and leaves.They should be trapped in the corner of the backyard instead of reaching higher and farther.

It's just that there is no need to tell Miaomiao these words for the time being.

Dr. Zeng rubbed her head like a storm, and said lightly, "Don't ask so many questions, children, just read your book carefully, can you write the words you just taught?"

Cheng Miaomiao: "???"

She glared at him dissatisfied, and said fiercely, "Spot checks are for tomorrow!"

Seeing her aggressive appearance, Doctor Zeng was in a good mood, and said, "Oh, that's the meeting, come on, write out the words "Scholar Master" for me to see, if you write well, I won't randomly check it tomorrow."

"!!"

Cheng Miaomiao's anger suddenly disappeared.

Don't ask, it means that she is planning to go fishing for birds in the mountains tomorrow.

Instead of asking why girls can't read, Cheng Miaomiao dipped in water and wrote on the table for him to read. After finishing writing, he looked at him expectantly, with the word 'waiting for praise' written all over his face.

"That's great, it's all written correctly."

Dr. Zeng raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Then I will reward you for writing another sentence. If you keep your word, remember to use these four words when you want to scold me next time."

"..."

Damn!
