Chapter 51 Literacy
"Hey, you wrote this?" Sheng Xi took two steps forward, stared at the words on the ground for a moment, and then squatted down.

The words were written with burnt charcoal and were messy, but they still looked good.Sheng Xi glanced at the content and found it was "The Thousand-Character Essay".Thinking of something, she turned back to look at Shen Anhe: "Are you going to teach Xiaoyuan how to read?"

"The Thousand-Character Classic" is a textbook for elementary school students. Sheng Xi didn't remember that Sheng Guangyuan had learned to read.On the contrary, the original owner was once forced by his own father to learn a few words.Although, those words had already been returned to her father by the original owner.

Shen Anhe didn't expect that she would notice these words so quickly. Just as he was about to speak, Sheng Guangyuan rushed towards him like a hen guarding her chicks, opening his arms to try to block the words on the ground.

Sheng Xi: "..." She doesn't want to be that annoying hawk.

"Sister!" Sheng Guangyuan called out, praying with his eyes, "I just asked my brother-in-law to write a few words, and I didn't ask my brother-in-law to teach me how to read! Sister, I can't read, don't worry, I just think it looks good and I want to read it. That’s all!”

Sheng Xi glanced at Sheng Guangyuan, who was obviously anxious, and then turned to look at Shen Anhe, and saw that the other person's expression was also incomprehensible at this moment.Sheng Xi twitched the corner of her mouth, wanting to tell them that she was wronged.

Can you not be unjust?When he first learned about Shen Anhe's literacy, Sheng Guangyuan pestered him to teach him how to read.Although Shen Anhe was frustrated at the time, he did not refuse Sheng Guangyuan's request, so he taught him a few words.

But this matter was known to the original owner, and Sheng Hui heard about it. After Sheng Hui taught the original owner that "literacy costs a lot of money," the original owner forcefully stopped Shen Anhe from teaching Sheng Guangyuan how to read again when he came back that day. .

For this reason, the little guy was sad for a long time until he was sold.At this time, he was even more frightened, staring at Sheng Xi with a pair of wet eyes, as if Sheng Xi was the evil person.

But, it is indeed true!
Sheng Xi rolled her eyes in her heart, sighed, reached out and flicked Sheng Guangyuan's head: "You are so impatient, did I say something?"

Sheng Guangyuan was puzzled, his worry and fear were still there.

Shen Anhe's eyes brightened slightly when he heard this, and his face looked much more relaxed.

"Sister, you, you..."

"If you want to learn, then learn. I won't stop you." Sheng Xi said.

Sheng Guangyuan opened his eyes when he heard this, and was about to speak when he heard Sheng Xi say again: "But..." Sheng Guangyuan's heart was in his throat, "Sister..."

"However, when you return to school, you have to take care of your brother-in-law. He is not in good health, you should know that."

Hearing this, Sheng Guangyuan was in a trance for a moment, and then he felt like someone had hit his laughter point. The next moment, he burst out laughing, accompanied by screams, which made Sheng Xi instinctively lean back.

"Hahaha, thank you sister! Thank you sister! I can read now! I can read now! Hahaha!" Sheng Guangyuan burst into laughter and flew all over the yard. Wangcai, who was lying on the ground dueling with insects, saw this and immediately dropped him The bug followed Sheng Guangyuan and started barking "woof" together.

Hearing the cry again, Sheng Xi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and turned around to ask Shen Anhe: "Why did Wangcai learn how to bark like a dog?"

Shen Anhe: "...You have to ask Wangcai himself about this."

Ignoring Sheng Guangyuan, Sheng Xi finished the work at hand, left Shen Anhe to cook at home, and went straight to the village chief's house.

Wu Xuezheng had just finished twisting a hemp rope and was about to tell his son to turn over the vegetable patch in the backyard tomorrow while the snow melted, when he heard someone calling the door.

Mrs. Feng, the daughter-in-law of Wu Xuezheng, came out and saw Sheng Xi. She immediately smiled and said, "It's Sheng Xi. Come on, come on! Your sister-in-law just roasted some sweet potatoes for the children. Eat one while it's hot."

Mrs. Feng warmly welcomed Sheng Xi in and asked her daughter-in-law to take the sweet potatoes out of the stove.

When Wuxue saw it was Sheng Xi, he dropped the hemp rope in his hand and stood up to lead Sheng Xi into the main room.

Sheng Xi glanced at the stove with sparks still coming out, and then followed Wu Xuezheng into the house.

Now Sheng Xi, the village chief and his family are all welcome.Thinking about the rabbit meat still marinated in the jar, Feng specially grabbed a handful of fried soybeans for Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi was not polite and put one in his mouth after taking it.Well, the taste is not bad. She will ask Shen Anhe to help fry some when she goes back later. "Xi girl, what are you doing here today?" Wu Xuezheng asked proactively after a warm conversation.

Sheng Xi swallowed the soybeans in his mouth and put away the rest: "Well, I want to discuss building a house with you. Shen... My husband-in-law told me, and I want to do what you said. If it's okay , construction will start tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”

Even though Wu Xuezheng was fully prepared, he was still shocked when he heard Sheng Xi say so directly that he wanted to start construction.

On the side, Feng and others, who knew that Sheng Xi's family was going to build a house, were also shocked and couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes.

Sheng Xi just pretended not to see it and continued: "How many people do you think we need to invite? I have a small family, so if I invite more people, I won't be able to cook, but I can pay wages."

At the mention of wages, Wu Xuezheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he subconsciously glanced at his son.

However, although he wanted his son to earn this money, he still didn't want Sheng Xi to be unrealistic, so he couldn't help but remind her: "Sheng Xi, Young Master Shen told you how much it cost to build that house, right?"

"I told you." Sheng Xi nodded, "50 taels. If you want to buy wood, you have to add a few more taels."

"Ah, then..." Wu Xue was considering whether to ask Sheng Xi directly if she had enough money.

However, before he could ask, Sheng Xi expressed his worries for him: "Don't worry, the money is enough."

"Ah, that's good, that's good!" Wu Xuezheng couldn't ask any more questions.Thinking of the wild boars they helped drag back from the mountains today, Wu Xue was thinking that even if the three-in-one large courtyard could not be built, the one-into-one small courtyard would definitely be enough.

Tsk, this human luck is incomparable!
With money gone, the next thing is easy.So Wu Xuezheng began to give Sheng Xi a total of the number of people digging the foundation, and who would buy the gray bricks, horizontal timbers, etc.

It was also because the house Sheng Xi wanted to build was so big that she had to hire someone.Normally, everyone would use straw and mud, dry it into mud bricks, and then cut two trees from the mountain, and a house could be built in three to five days.

But what Sheng Xi wants is not that kind of earthen house, so he can only spend money.

When she spends money, others make money.Especially during this slack time, everyone wants to earn this money.

Therefore, Wu Xuezheng directly signed up for Wu Dayong.Fortunately, Wu Dayong also knows some carpentry work. When the time comes, we can find a carpenter and we can do the work together.

Sheng Xi thought for a while and then said to Wu Xuezheng: "In that case, let Uncle Dayong be the foreman. Thirty coins a day and twenty coins a day for the others. What do you think?"

Wu Xuezheng was very happy to hear this. Wu Dayong, Feng Shi and others were so excited that they could not wait to jump up when they heard about thirty articles for one day.

Those who go out to work in the village now only earn twenty or thirty cash a day, and they have to bring their own dry food, not to mention how much they suffer when they go out.Although they have to eat at their own homes, they don’t leave the village!Being able to earn so much right at home is something everyone would envy.

"Haha, Xi girl, don't worry. Your Uncle Dayong looks naive, but he is the most worry-free when doing things." Wu Xuezheng rarely praised his son, and after thinking about it, he said, "Don't worry about the rest, old man. I also know people in the next town, let them give you things at a cheaper price when the time comes."

"Well, thank you very much, village chief!" Sheng Xi smiled and nodded.

"Haha, no matter how polite you are, we are all from our own family!" Wu Xue was waving his hands.

"By the way, there is no limit to the number of people working, the purpose is to complete the work as soon as possible." Sheng Xi said.

"Don't worry!" Wu Xuezheng assured.

Later, because Wu Dayong joined, the three of them talked about more details.Before Wu Xuezheng, he checked the date early. In the past few days, all matters were broken down. In the end, Sheng Xi made the decision and the construction officially started the day after tomorrow.
