Chapter 107 Comprehensive Training
The 12-year-old Chen Yue and Xiao Zhu stood up briskly and recited the poem: "A trip to two or three miles, there are four or five houses in Yancun. There are six or seven pavilions and eight or ninety flowers."

"Let me explain the meaning." The six-year-old Chen Ya stood up and described the scene in the poem.The crisp children's voice renders this artistic conception extra warm.

"Everyone understands it right." Zhang Ci said, "This is the village we live in. There are beautiful scenery and simple villagers. I hope this beauty can be maintained forever. Everyone studies hard, works hard, and will have a bright future. Officials who are generals must guard our territory and our people, so that the people will always have such a beautiful home and live and work in peace and contentment."

The children nodded solemnly.

Chen Fan led everyone to learn the stroke order of "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty, ninety", and asked them to check each other's blanks.Those who learn quickly teach those who are slow.

Everyone has a small blackboard, which Chen Fan asked a carpenter to make, and painted it with black paint.

Zhang Ci smiled and watched them write on the small blackboard with a brush dipped in water.Chen Yue and Chen Zhongyan wrote the most beautiful.The strokes of Liu Huaishan and Xiao Zhongliang were a bit inferior.Xiaohua and Xiaoya wrote crookedly, with thick strokes and thin strokes.

There is also a blackboard on the wall, where Zhang Ci demonstrates and explains how to write.

For half an hour, the children were practicing handwriting seriously, and no one said to drink water or go to the latrine.Chen Fan was secretly amazed at their study enthusiasm.

Everyone has made rapid progress, Xiaohua and Xiaoya's strokes are already decent, and other people's calligraphy is also more beautiful.

After resting for a while, Chen Fan led everyone to run around Daejeon, causing some people who were working around to be amazed.

During free activities, the naughty children chased the chickens and ducks, and the gentle ones talked while watching the cattle and sheep grazing.Zhang Ci and Chen Zhongyan were a little further away from the crowd.

"It's too obvious for you to do this. Everyone saw the two of us talking together." Chen Zhongyan said seriously.

"It's okay," Zhang Ci said calmly, "They can all see that you and I both have a pair of red phoenix eyes."

Chen Zhongyan sneered: "You actually chose to marry."

"To each other," Zhang Ci said calmly, "You were adopted and changed your name."

Chen Zhongyan: "..."

He sat down on the grass, the grass under him was thick and soft.He patted the grass and lay down again, resting his head on his hands.

"I'm fine now, the sky is high and the earth is wide." The little man said with a disillusioned tone.

Zhang Ci also lay down: "Your mother has received the news."

Chen Zhongyan said thank you softly.

The two were silent for a while.

"The pasture here grows really well. Eldest sister didn't grow any food." Chen Zhongyan said this out of nowhere.

"This land has just been remodeled and needs to be fertilized a little more. The taxed grain can be bought," Zhang Ci said.

"Then why should the land in Shengping County and Guangyun County be planted with late rice immediately? The land over there is not fertile."

"The people over there can't wait." Zhang Ci's voice was very soft, "Shengping County has just experienced a famine, and Guangyun County is not much better. The people urgently need food, and they also need straw, otherwise there will be nothing to burn. It can't be done. Let them cut down trees again? The silt land by the river is not bad in fertility, and there are years of rotting leaves on the mountain, and after deep plowing and landfill, the base fertilizer is relatively sufficient."

Chen Zhongyan chuckled: "You actually know how to farm."

"You will gradually understand." Zhang Ci said.

Chen Zhongyan couldn't say no to him, so he changed the subject: "I like the painting that eldest sister made today, can you go and get it for me?"

Zhang Ci turned to look at him: "Just go and tell her yourself."

Chen Zhongyan's small face was a little awkward: "I don't know her very well yet."

Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter if you are familiar or not, you are all her younger siblings now. But you have to ask her for it after a while, and she is still hanging there for everyone to learn from."

There was still some time before lunch, and Chen Fan gave them a bunch of sticks.Those who don't know how to do arithmetic can practice counting, practice how to divide the number, and those who can do arithmetic will ask each other to do oral calculations.

Continue to learn characters in the afternoon and write other characters in the poem.In the evening, each person wrote a complete poem on paper.

Chen Fan felt that for a few children who had just started, the amount of learning in this day was still quite large.

High-intensity learning continues every day.Children learn a poem every day, or a few lines of "Thousand Characters", and also learn arithmetic. Those who progress quickly learn to draw, and those who progress slowly.Running, skipping rope and practicing martial arts are compulsory items every day.In terms of talent, boys practice seal cutting, girls learn embroidery, playing the piano or flute is the same for everyone.During the rest time, plant flowers and trees, take care of vegetable fields, take care of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and fish, and properly cultivate moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor skills.

Some children in Murakami looked very amusing, and they also ran and skipped rope.If the villagers questioned it, the children would challenge them to race or skip rope, tortured them terribly, and dared not speak out.When the farm work is not busy, some people also exercise together.

Zhang Ci has been away for a long time, and he came back on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
