Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 253 Liu Xu'er is Too Slow
After the accounting was settled, Liu Ya asked Liu Xuer again: "Sister, do you know who raises ducks in our village? It's not the kind that lays eggs, but the kind that eats meat. It's the kind of duck we ate yesterday. "

"That's not true." Liu Xu'er thought for a while: "You need a pond to raise ducks. You also need to eat food and small fish. There are not many chickens in our village, and no one raises ducks. Occasionally someone raises them." A few of them also lay eggs and don't know how to eat meat."

Liu Ya said: "Where can I buy meat-eating ducks? I guess I need a lot of them."

Liu Dacheng said, "Why don't you go and ask Chun Niu? There is a pond in the Lijiatun of her natal family. Someone should raise ducks."

"That's fine, I'll ask tomorrow." Liu Ya pondered, this problem cannot be solved with just a few ducks, it is best to find a stable breeder to supply for herself.

After the meal, as soon as the dishes and chopsticks were cleared away, Liu Ya went back to the room and brought pen, ink and paper.Cleaned up the small kang table, wiped it twice, and then spread a piece of paper to teach Liu Dacheng and Liu Xuer how to know Arabic numerals.

Because the two of them had never learned this at all, they listened to what Liu Ya taught them, and they really didn't have any doubts.It's just that Liu Xu'er is a little slow, and remembers the numbers, but once the tens and hundreds are passed, she becomes inaccurate.She can count the amount of money exchanged, but it is not enough for her to put these figures on paper and write them in Arabic numerals.

Although Liu Dacheng was older than Liu Xu'er, his ability to accept things was not bad.After Liu Ya taught it three times, he could basically understand it. If he said a number casually, Liu Dacheng could write it clearly, even faster than Liu Xu'er.

After writing for a while, Liu Xu'er put down the brush in her hand, rubbed her wrist and said, "I'm really tired from writing. Why are every characters crooked? They look really weird."

Liu Ya smiled and said: "This is Arabic numerals, much simpler than Chinese characters, and it is very convenient to use for counting. However, the writing must be standardized, otherwise it will be easily altered if the digits are wrong. The number can be ten times, a hundred times, or dozens of times."

Hearing Liu Ya's scary words, Liu Xu'er twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Why don't I just stop learning. It's just selling vegetables, so why keep accounts. Father, you should learn."

Liu Dacheng was also very tired from studying, but he frowned when he heard Liu Xuer say this, and said, "Xuer, you can't do this. If you really want to marry into the Chen family, you don't know a single word." , can't even keep accounts, can the Chen family have a crush on you? Just think about it, the old man of the Chen family was born as a housekeeper. Which of his daughter-in-laws is not as smart as hell?"

Hearing what Dad said, Liu Xu'er's eyes lit up, and then she picked up the pen again, and said seriously: "What Dad said is right, I should study hard. Ya'er, you can continue teaching, I will study hard. If I can’t learn it in one day, I’ll learn it for a few more days, so don’t think I’m too stupid.”

"It's okay." Liu Ya smiled and said, "I'm willing to teach. Big sister, you have never learned this before, so you learn slowly. But it doesn't matter if you are slow, as long as the numbers are not wrong, slow is more accurate."

"Ah..." After washing the dishes, I came back and yawned a long time with the little tree who was watching the fun, stretched my waist and said, "Okay, second sister, you can teach slowly. I have learned it, go back Go to sleep."

"Xiao Shu'er, you just need to watch." Liu Xu'er asked a little unconvinced.

"It still needs to be seen. I'll be able to listen to it." After Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, she made a face at Liu Ya, then turned and went out.

Liu Dacheng smiled and said, "Shu'er is really smart, if he studies hard, he might really become a success."

"Father, what do you mean maybe?" Liu Ya loves Xiao Shu'er the most, and she also believes in Xiao Shu'er's strength the most, so she said, "I think, our Xiao Shu'er will definitely be able to become a talent, and also has a great responsibility. .”

"That's good, that's good. The three of you, all three of you, are promising, so Dad can rest assured." Liu Dacheng said, laughing at the slight wrinkles on his face.In fact, Liu Dacheng is not too old, he is only 40 years old.Recently, I feel better, eat and drink better, and look younger again.

The three of them studied for a while, and Liu Dacheng felt sorry for Liu Ya, so he let her go to bed first.Said that he and Liu Xuer would write for a while.

Liu Ya looked at the numbers written by Liu Xu'er, the crooked ones were really ugly, so she had to practice more, so she nodded and said, "Then dad will work hard, let's practice with eldest sister for a while. That's all I can teach today. If there are too many, you can write well if you practice hard. I can tell you how to keep accounts until you have written the numbers in a standardized way, otherwise everything will be messed up."

"Okay, I see, you go to sleep." Liu Dacheng waved his hand, signaling Liu Ya to go back and rest quickly.

Liu Xu'er looked up at Liu Ya, pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end, she lowered her head and practiced writing numbers.

Liu Ya's eyes were sharp, so she naturally saw what Liu Xu'er meant.He smiled and said, "Sister, I know what you're going to say."

Liu Xu'er smiled and asked, "What can I say? You already know before I open my mouth?"

"Haha, the eldest sister must be thinking in her heart: I am so busy that I am plowing the land, fertilizing, and planting vegetables. I have to practice bookkeeping at night, and I am exhausted. You two girls run around during the day After going out to play for a day, I still have to go to bed early at night, my father is really biased." Liu Ya imitated Liu Xu'er's appearance, speaking in Liu Xu'er's tone.

Liu Xu'er just stared at it, and gritted her teeth and said, "Second girl, you talk nonsense, I don't think so."

"Ah, big sister is angry. I am teasing you." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she ran out with a smile.When I got to the door, I turned around and said, "Eldest sister, there's nothing wrong with father's partiality. I want you to learn how to keep accounts well. When you get to your in-law's house, you can take care of the house and do what you want."

After finishing speaking, before Liu Xu'er could speak again and choke her, Liu Ya hurried away.

Liu Dacheng looked at the lively Liu Ya and Liu Xu'er who was stomping his feet in anger, and said with a smile, "Okay, you two sisters, you still bicker all the time. Ya'er is not mean, she's just joking with you."

"But, I didn't think that way." Liu Xu'er distinguished: "She said that, as if I was so narrow-minded."

"Xu'er, it's not that my father said you. Sometimes, you really like to stick to the horns. From now on, you should take care of everything. Nothing is as important as a family and being together in harmony." After Liu Dacheng finished speaking, he bowed his head seriously again. I started writing numbers.

Liu Xu'er curled her lips, feeling that her father was still biased, so she didn't say anything, but continued to practice patiently.
