Chapter 105

The children are not asleep yet.Chen Zhongzhu and Chen Zhongpurn were touching the glass window all the time, while Chen Zhongyan was showing off his lightness kung fu, jumping to the upper bed with a swish, and then somersaulting and jumping off.Seven-year-old Chen Zhongliang climbed up and down the ladder.The quietest one was Chen Zhongmei, standing in the center of the room looking at the beams, the bed, and the ground.

Chen Zhongliang had a great time climbing, so he teased Chen Zhongmei: "Have you memorized the patterns on every piece of wood? You always observe the surrounding environment to accumulate investigation experience?"

Chen Zhongmei glanced at him: "I'm past the age of climbing ladders, and I don't know how to do light work, so I can only stand here and watch."

Chen Zhongliang chuckled: "Aren't you three years older than me? You talk like you are 60 years old. Then you can touch the glass windows. We live in a house with glass windows now."

Chen Zhongmei glanced at the glass window: "I can still see it standing here."

Xiao Zhongliang turned his head: "Have you two touched enough? Do you want to sleep next to the glass window?"

Xiao Zhutou didn't reply: "I haven't touched enough. The paper on the windows of my house used to be broken, and when it rained, it could fall into the house. In winter, I used a piece of cloth to block it, and the house was dark. Some people made it out of wooden boards." When the windows are open, there is light, and when they are closed, there is no light."

Chen Zhonglin took the words: "The windows of my house are also broken, and the roof is also leaking. I was almost eaten by someone on the way to escape from the famine. The county magistrate forced us out, but it made us fall into a good family."

"The county magistrate also arranged for us to be in the Liu family because of their integrity." Chen Zhongyan stopped jumping up and down, and took over the conversation.

"The magistrate is so kind! The Liu family is so kind!" Chen Zhonglin sighed.

Chen Zhongyan smiled, but did not speak.

Xiao Zhongliang continued to tease the two window touchers: "Would you like to go to the study to touch? There is a whole row of glass windows on the east wall, and the west wall of the school is also a whole row of glass windows. The only family in Wangjiadun, all the villages in Yuanfeng County , I’m afraid it’s hard to find a few.”

Chen Zhonglin didn't look back: "No. Over there is a place for reading and writing, so be serious."

Chen Zhongyan sat on the bed: "Go to sleep, classes will definitely start tomorrow. The eldest sister installed so many glass windows not to spend money on looking good, but to make the room brighter when reading and writing."

These words immediately pulled Chen Zhonglin back from the glass window, quickly sat on the bed, put down the mosquito net, and left Xiao Zhu there in a daze.

Xiao Zhongliang was also taken aback: "You listen to him that much?"

A voice came from the mosquito net: "I read to keep my spirit up, he reminded me."

Xiao Zhu was about to go to sleep, when he received a question from Xiao Zhongliang: "You are a person who wants to be a general, can you study well?"

"If you can't read, you have to read. The general must be literate." Xiao Zhu put down the mosquito net.

Chen Zhongmei looked at Xiao Zhongliang: "You sleep first, I'll blow out the candles."

Chen Zhongyan guessed right, on the first day of moving into the new house, he was going to study.

Twelve children sat at two tables for breakfast.

Chen Fan asked everyone: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay!" Everyone answered loudly.

"After dinner, I will give you two quarters of an hour to tidy up your beds and belongings, and work together to clean up the room and the yard. You have to do these tasks yourself. Then gather in the classroom."

The child from a poor background had no objection, Chen Zhongyan frowned, Zhang Ci glanced at him, and his expression returned to normal.

There are ten desks and two desks in the school, which are full.

Zhang Ci first told everyone about the etiquette, and led everyone to salute.

Chen Fan said: "Everyone has registered household registration. We are the first generation of the Chen family in Wangjiadun, Yuanfeng County. The background of the second generation depends on how we develop. My Chen family, regardless of gender, must study .Those who can take an official career can do it, and those who don’t can also be an accountant or a teacher, and they can also read and learn the etiquette. Although girls don’t take the imperial examination, they can learn to read and write, and they can teach their husbands and children.”

"Let's learn a few classic Confucian thoughts first. Self-cultivation and family harmony are also the family tradition and family motto of our Chen family." Chen Fan pointed to the eight banners on the wall: investigation of things, extension of knowledge, righteous heart, sincerity, self-cultivation, family harmony , rule the country, and pacify the world.

Zhang Ci explained these eight items to everyone, and the children were fascinated.

The sound of reading aloud sounded, and everyone recited it repeatedly and memorized it by heart.

"If you can count from one to ten and write it, please raise your hand." Chen Fan felt that it was a bit embarrassing to only ask for counting. After all, there are a few older children who are eleven or twelve years old, and writing will not make them feel looked down upon. Low.

Only three people raised their hands: Chen Zhongyan, Chen Zhongliang and Chen Yue.

Chen Fan opened a picture scroll: "Today we will learn these ten characters first."

"Chen Zhongyan, come and read this poem."

Chen Zhongyan stood up and was about to read when the door slammed loudly.

Chen Fan was furious. It was only the first day when he moved in, and someone came looking for trouble?

Granny Zhou went to open the courtyard door and asked the people outside what was the matter.

A loud voice yelled, "Is there someone reading in there?"

Granny Zhou said seriously: "The children are all studying, please don't affect their reading."

The loud door didn't show weakness: "Why are you a servant? If you want to speak, it's the owner of the house who speaks."

Zhang Ci has already reached the gate of the courtyard: "What's the matter?"

"Who are you? Isn't this Miss Chen's home?"

"Ms. Chen and I have received the marriage certificate. I am her husband. If you need anything, you can find me."

The loud voice became sharper: "She has a husband at the age of 12? You can find a young lady from the city if you are so good-looking, why did you become her husband? The Liu family is so rich, did you sell it to her? "

The next moment, she bent her knees, fell to the ground, and immediately yelled, "Who hit me?"

Several people who came with her kept shaking their heads and took two steps back.

Zhang Ci was condescending: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

A loud voice rose up: "Your children are studying? Is there a teacher to teach?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"The sound of your reading is disturbing us." The loud voice raised his head.

Zhang Ci laughed, and they were dumbfounded.

"We live in the last row of the village. The study is a few feet away from the gate. The members of Wang Cishi's family in front of us didn't bother to disturb them. Your house is separated from mine by a few rows of houses. How could it disturb you?"

His face turned red with a loud voice.

She worked hard for a while, and said: "Let the children of our family come to study, and we won't be too noisy."

　Today is New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy new year, good health and happiness for the whole family!May everyone be blessed with good fortune, youthful and beautiful forever, smooth work and satisfactory exams!I love you guys!
