Chapter 4

Liu Qingluo followed her mother into her room.

Mrs. Du wiped her face with a towel, and scolded her fiercely: "Where did you go wild? You are a little girl, and mother still expects you to be successful in the future... These little hands and face are clean..."

"Mother, I went to the river to wash it before I came back. I will definitely be upset if my grandma sees it..." Liu Qingluo raised her face and smiled sweetly.

Unexpectedly, Du Shi exploded when he heard it, "What? You went to the river to play?"

"I just washed my face by the river and didn't go in..." Liu Qingluo said weakly.

"Not even by the river!" Mrs. Du hastily touched her body up and down. The little gown and trousers were not wet, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid for a while, and slapped her buttocks, "I touched her by the river last time." Playing in the river, I almost lost my life, and ran to the river again, why doesn't the little smelly girl have a long memory!"

It turns out that the little girl fell into the river and died...

Liu Qingluo sighed secretly, might as well get hit on the butt again.

Liu Qingluo, who was almost 20 years old inside, was spanked, and she could only laugh and cry to admit it, and she had to beg for mercy: "Mother, it hurts so much, Niuniu will never dare again..."

They all lived in the same courtyard, and the one who spanked the other begged for mercy, which alarmed the people outside.

The third aunt, Liu Yao, always liked Liu Qingluo's well-behaved and sensible, and when she heard her shout, she was the first to run over and persuaded, "Sister-in-law, stop beating, Niuniu is still young, what if it breaks?"

Mrs. Du patted again, still not relieved, and said fiercely: "This little girl, if you don't beat her, you won't have a long memory!"

"Sister-in-law, look at Niuniu, it's normal for a child to be naughty..." Liu Yaoping pulled Liu Qingluo over, rubbed her buttocks, and coaxed her, "Niuniu, it doesn't hurt, let's go and play with Yushu in the courtyard ..."

In fact, Mrs. Du looked at the fierce man, and the slap on her body lost all strength, Liu Qingluo didn't feel it at all, and said with a smile: "Gu, I don't hurt, I won't go to the river alone to play in the future..."

She looked up at Mrs. Du and said, "Mother, do you have a shovel at home? Give me one, and I'll dig things..."

At this time, Mrs. Liu came out of the house and said, "What are you going to dig again? Niu Niu is five years old, and she still cares about playing all day long. If she is in good health, it would be good to go out and dig some wild vegetables to supplement the family income!"

Du hurriedly said: "Mother, Niuniu is too young and her health is not good, let's talk about it in two years?"

"Five years old isn't that young?" Fourth Aunt Zhang said in a soft voice, "Few other people's children help the family at the age of four or five? Why are our children so spoiled?"

Du was so angry that he pointed at Zhang when he went out and scolded, "Are you going to suffocate if you don't talk for a day? Niuniu is a girl, why didn't I see what you do for the family? If you can't give birth to a baby, you just Will be seductive all day long, bah!"

Du's pungentness is well-known in Nanqiao Village, only her mother-in-law can restrain her, "What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Liu also glared at Mrs. Zhang as she said that. For her beloved youngest son, Mrs. Zhang has not given birth to a son for a long time, so she was quite panicked.

Mrs. Du curled her lips: "Mother, it's not that I want to quarrel, Niuniu is still young, I still want to send her to a girls' school, how can I hold a pen if my hands are rough?"

"what?"

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Chen, the second aunt who was sitting in the house as a needlework lady, all pricked up their ears.

Especially the second aunt, Chen Shi, put down her sewing basket and walked out holding her skirt, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

"I said I'm going to give Niuniu a girls' school." Although Mrs. Du is aggressive, she also knows that the second room should not offend too much.The second brother is a scholar, if he is admitted as a scholar, it will be the honor and hope of the whole family...

Therefore, Liu Ping'an and Mrs. Chen of the second bedroom are basically not good at farming and housework at home, and she can't say anything...

"Where does the family have the money to teach Niuniu Nushu?" Mrs. Chen smiled disdainfully, "Now brother Jun's father spends pens and ink on reading alone, and I want to teach Meili and Brother Jun too..."

Liu Qingluo held Mrs. Du's hand, raised her head, looked at her mother, then Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen, a little puzzled.

Why do you seem to listen to what they said, it is normal for girls to go to private schools?

Among the countless history books Liu Qingluo has read, she has never heard of any dynasty, girls from poor families, and private schools...

Even in the few dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, there were girls' schools, but only girls from wealthy families were eligible to attend.

Liu Qingluo's eyes slowly lit up.

If the girl could go to school at this time, wouldn't she be able to take this opportunity to show off the writing skills and knowledge she had learned?
Originally, she was still worried about this matter. She, a girl who never went to school, suddenly knew how to write and read, and she was not suspected. She was caught as a monster and drowned in a pigpen?
Knowledge can change your destiny. If you want to eat well and live well, and change your current situation, reading is a must!

She immediately tugged on the corner of Du Shi's clothes, "Mom, I want to study..."

"Hey, Niuniu, our family doesn't have that spare money..." Mrs. Chen looked at her chubby appearance, and felt very disdainful in her heart.

This little fat girl, where is her beauty and good looks?

After studying in the future, and then admitted to the county, maybe there will be a chance to be a female official!

During lunch, Mrs. Chen impatiently brought up this matter on the table.

Mr. Liu took two puffs of dry cigarettes, frowned and said, "It's not easy for the family to provide for the elderly. The two boys haven't gone to school yet, let's forget about Meili and Niuniu..."

Mrs. Chen was a little anxious: "It's hard for boys to take the imperial examinations, and it's fine if they don't have a good brain. We are beautiful, good-looking, and stable. We can be female gentlemen in the future, and maybe we can be elected as female officials in the palace. This is impossible. Delayed..."

The fourth aunt Zhang pinched her handkerchief and said: "Beauty is already nine years old. It's too late to go to a girls' school now. No matter how good she looks, it's useless. In my opinion, she should take good care of her and raise her. In two years, she will find her." A good in-law's family is fine..."

Several men bowed their heads to eat, only Liu Ping'an, the second child, cleared his throat, and said: "Now our empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Your Majesty, is governing, asking girls to study and improve, and recruiting many female officials to the palace. If If beauty can enter..."

Mrs. Chen quickly said: "Yes, Dad, we are beautiful and good-looking, so we dare not delay. Think about it, so many girls who only enter school at the age of ten can also be admitted to the female officer? Meili is just nine years old. Woolen cloth!"

"All right!"

Mr. Liu knocked on the table with a cigarette pot, "The family can only support one person now, let's forget about the girl, what kind of school do you study, and you will marry someone else's family in the future? Beautiful is nine years old, and in two years she should say Kiss, stay at home to raise her, learn how to sew, and leave the mowing to Niuniu!"

According to the custom of Dazhou, peasant girls help with housework since they were young, but when they reach the age of marriage, they have to be raised in the house. They are white, tender and beautiful, and they can also be said to be a good marriage...
