The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 83 Crash Course in Literacy

The next day, a blue carriage stopped at the door of the restaurant. Zhao Yunzhang helped a woman get out of the carriage and said respectfully, "Auntie, please come inside."

Jiang Shiyi hurriedly came up to say hello. The woman looked to be in her fifties, with a slightly plump figure, well-maintained, fair complexion, wearing a blue t-shirt, with all her hair pulled back, and only a wooden plug. hairpin.

The way he walks is graceful and calm.

Jiang Shiyi walked behind and saw that the wooden hairpin on the woman's head was actually agarwood. There were dark patterns of bamboo leaves on the material of the clothes. He guessed that it was not easy to identify this woman's identity.

Jiang Shiyi greeted her warmly and asked the chef to prepare a few dishes.

While waiting for the food, the woman chatted and laughed enthusiastically with Cui Mujin, who was sitting next to Zhao Yunzhang. She looked at Cui Mujin's pregnant belly and asked her how many months had she been pregnant? She also taught a few words of Daughter's Sutra. She is a very easy-going woman!
When you smile, even the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes are full of intelligence!
During the conversation, Jiang Shiyi learned that this was the mother of Liu Xian, the minister of the Ministry of Justice of the dynasty. She was known as a talented woman with three talents in poetry, calligraphy and painting. She was known as Master Cui. She was a widowed young man and worked hard to raise her son. After his son became an official Please give her a royal decree.

This is a strange woman of our time. Like Mrs. Zhang, she lives her life without taking her husband's surname.

Jiang Shiyi was filled with admiration in his heart.

After a few words of conversation, the dishes were served, and Jiang Shiyi warmly invited Cui and everyone to taste them.

Steamed crabs, boiled shrimps, small seafood in fish sauce... The most attractive thing is the sweet and sour fish. The fish is beautifully fried and then poured with sweet and sour sauce. It is sour, sweet and crispy.

Everyone in Cui was full of praise after tasting it!
Finally, there is longan, red dates and wolfberry tea.

Everyone Cui tasted it slowly. It didn't taste very sweet and the temperature was just right.

Master Cui held the tea cup and looked at Jiang Shiyi, "Looking at how young you are, you know a lot!"

Cui Mujin's smile was as bright as a flower, "We are very capable at this time and can do everything!"

"I heard that you are looking for a gentleman to teach girls how to read?"

Jiang Shiyi nodded, "I found a few gentlemen and they all left!"

Mr. Cui talked about his own experience, "When I was your age, I liked reading, painting, traveling around, and going to many places. But then I got married and my husband passed away early, so I had no choice but to raise my son alone." , leaving behind everything I liked. Later, my son won the first prize, and my son asked for a royal title for me, but this was not the life I wanted. Now my grandson has also been brought up by me, and his father-in-law has also given me the title. I gave it to my daughter-in-law. I want to do something I want to do. I heard that you are looking for a gentleman. Do you think I can do it?"

Jiang Shiyi's jaw dropped in shock! She looked at Zhao Yunzhang, who nodded, "Auntie has always been independent and a knowledgeable woman!"

"The girl has great courage and did what I wanted to do." Mr. Cui added.

Jiang Shiyi was so excited that he was speechless. It was hard to find a true friend!

Everyone Cui raised an eyebrow?

"Mrs. Cui, of course, but I may not be able to give you much about Shu Xiu."

"If it were for a little repair, would I still come to you?"

Jiang Shiyi was extremely excited.

"Really! You are very welcome!"

With the support of everyone Cui, Jiang Shiyi is more determined about what he has to do!
"Take me to see it!" Everyone Cui stood up.

Jiang Shiyi stipulated that the girls should learn to read in the morning and clean in the afternoon. Cui and everyone only need to come in the morning. Moreover, after the restaurant opens, these girls will still have to learn to read as long as they have time.

When Mr. Cui walked into the classroom, he saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes eager for knowledge.

Those girls, everyone looked at them thin and small, one person at a table, timid, but there was a light in their eyes!

Seeing Master Cui come in, everyone stood up and saluted. Master Cui asked everyone to sit down and looked at the classroom with interest.

The windows are bright and clean, spotless.

good! "this is?"

Everyone Cui looked at the blackboard on the wall.

"This is the blackboard!" Jiang Shiyi took a piece of chalk and handed it to her.

Everyone Cui smiled, then picked up the pen in Zhao Hehua's hand and looked at it, "What is this?"

"This is a pencil made of graphite. I want them to be able to write, and they don't have to take the first prize exam. They have to write in Guange style!"

Jiang Shiyi explained.

Everyone in Cui laughed. This girl is really interesting and has a lot of ideas.

Jiang Shiyi added, "I think the main focus is on literacy now, and there is no need to learn the "Women's Training" and "Women's Rules". If they want to learn these, they don't need to sit here."

Everyone Cui nodded, and just like that, the ancient literacy crash course created by Jiang Shiyi was established.

The first lesson was for them to learn to write their names. The girls were very excited at first, but after a few days, they all found it boring.

Learning is inherently a boring process.

Whether ancient or modern.

"Sister Yueya, how long will we study?" Zhao Hehua asked in a low voice. Her wrists were sore from writing every day.

When should you study? Jiang Shiyi also said that the restaurant will open in a few days. After the opening, you will need to schedule shifts. When you don't have to do anything, you still have to study.

Keep learning!
Crescent Moon explained again.

"It takes so long to study!"

"My wrist has been sore these days!"

"I can do whatever you want me to do, but I just don't want to write, okay?"

The girls heard about it and complained.

"If you feel that the pen in your hand is heavier than the laundry stick or the water pole on your shoulders, then you don't need to study!" Yue Ya said in a very stern tone.

"Those who fail to study will be dismissed. You can go home and continue to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, working day and night, or you can get married and be beaten and punished!"

The girls are enlightened. If they don't study hard now, they will lose their jobs. After returning home, they will have endless housework, a life of humiliation, and endless beatings and scoldings, so they will put more energy into it. I devoted myself to reading and writing.

A month later, Jiang Shiyi conducted an assessment on them, and the girls who studied more seriously were given bonuses, such as Zhao Hehua, which was actually one tael of silver. The girls were shocked and became more motivated to study.

The girls have a full day, studying in the morning, cleaning in the afternoon, and learning basic operations in the evening.

This requires Jiang Shiyi to teach in person. Jiang Shiyi first gave each of them a booklet, which was the "Employee Management System" written by her herself.

They have to learn every rule above, and the next step is training.

How to welcome guests, see off guests, arrange dishes, serve dishes in order, close the table, and practice standing postures. Those who fail to meet the requirements will be dismissed.

The girls were wearing brand-new work clothes with work badges hanging on them, standing in a row, with a completely new outlook on life.

Cui Mujin was also full of praise! "Good for you!"

"I just want everyone to know that girls are no worse than others!" Jiang Shiyi's eyes shone with determination.
