happy apocalypse

Chapter 141 I'm just tall, but I don't have a long heart
After dinner, Chen Ming went home first and said he was going to get the shovel, and then left after meeting Zhang Xiukun's house. I doubt he came so early just for breakfast.

We also cleaned up, Jiang Zhi and the three of them all changed into work T-shirts, each carried a shovel, and went out.I didn't follow along to join in the fun. Although I was able to serve tea and water or something, there must be no shortage of people like this in my family.Now we can’t ask people to help with money, they can’t afford food, so I guess it’s a friendship sponsorship, it’s voluntary, and people who can do things will definitely invite these people who come to help to eat at noon and night. If I If you go, you have to count as one.

I thought about it, or don't increase the burden on others.Besides, I also have things to do today, the first thing is that Weiwei and I will do small work for Dad Jiang and Dad Qu, planting mosquito repellent grass, it is getting hotter every day, and the mosquitoes are coming out, maybe someday it will be There are many old people and children in our family, so it is better to be careful and plant early.

I also want to go to the rice fields in the afternoon to have a look. I have been out for so many days, and I am very worried. Although my family members go there every day and say that the growth is not bad, but I haven’t seen it, so I just can’t let go.

Get up together in the morning, after the children in the family wash up, they start to feed their own chickens, ducks and geese, and then sweep the yard together, sweeping all the landmines in the yard into the cesspit used by Jiang’s manure (in the backyard fence Outside, it is some distance from the main house, so you can’t smell it at home), after dinner, after Jiang Zhi and the three of them left, their children drove the cattle and sheep, and Chenchen, Sissy went up the mountain together.

After everything that should be left at home was gone, we started to get busy. We have gained some experience in farming in the past few months, and we don’t need to be reminded. Each of us took a small bench and a small hoe, and started I started digging at the roots of the fence and the house, and soon dug out a hole, then put on gloves, first spread the fertile soil with black soil added to the bottom, and then planted the mosquito repellent plants. .

When Jiang Zhi and I dug out these mosquito repellent plants from the space, we brought some root soil to each mosquito repellent plant, and hid a large part of the roots in the soil. This is the experience learned from planting flowers.

It was planted in less than two hours. I was afraid that the mosquito repellent would not survive, so I secretly took out some water from the space stream and poured some on each of the mosquito repellents, thinking to myself: "You can be more confident, let's The best conditions at home have been used for you. If you are still picky, then you will never have a bright future in this world. If you can adapt, I promise you, every month, no, every half a month Just feed you space water once, you should know that this is a good thing, it is a great tonic for you, you have to think about it.”

While I was watering and muttering, Father Jiang and Father Qu found some bamboos that Li Cheng had chopped down in the bamboo forest behind two days ago, broke them into thin strips with a knife, and tied them around the mosquito repellent grass. little fence.

I slapped my head, that's right, our family still has a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese. If they are good at this, even if the mosquito repellent works hard, they won't be able to see the sun tomorrow.It's still the old man who thinks comprehensively, or people say that having an old man in a family is like having a treasure.

After planting the mosquito repellent, it was almost noon, and the children came back from the mountain with their cattle and sheep. It was Chenchen who brought them back safely, including their people and livestock.

I sent out Hanhan who had just arrived home, "Hanhan, do you know where your dad and your Uncle Li are working today, don't you run fast, help mom to ask them, I won't be back at noon ?” Actually, I wanted to go and see it myself, but when I was an adult, I went to someone’s house at this hour, and it seemed that I was going to grab a meal on purpose, so I asked Hanhan to take a look, and they didn’t care about the meal at noon.If they ate there, we wouldn't have to wait here.If people don't care about it, we'll have to work for half a day. The old scalper can only do it for himself, and do coolies for other people's hungry. I can't bear it.

I thought Hanhan didn't know where Zhang Xiukun's house was, but as soon as I told him, he agreed happily, and then ran away without a trace, followed by An'an's little tail.

I murmured in the back: "Why are you so old and don't have a long-term mind? I just ran away like this, and I don't know if I can find it."

Weiwei was choosing vegetables beside her and said, "Why is Hanhan so careless? In this village, Hanhan is much more familiar than you. I dare say he basically knows all the houses in our village and who lives in them. "

She saw me looking at her with the eyes of 'telling clearly', smiled slightly, and explained: "These children are playing well with the children in the village. This afternoon, they either go to this house to hang out or go to that house to play. Yes, it doesn’t matter if you’re not familiar with it. Zhang Xiukun’s family has two children, a boy and a girl, and his son and the two young men in our family are close buddies at this stage. Can Hanhan not know about his family?”

After hearing Weiwei's words, I felt a little guilty. Since the end of the world, my concern for children has decreased a lot compared to before. I am always busy every day. I always think that I am busy now to create a better life for my children and my family. The living conditions are good, but I didn't expect to care less, and the relationship between me and my children seems to be not as close as before.

Should I re-arrange my daily time? I need to discuss it with Jiang Zhi this evening.

I thought of another thing, and said to Weiwei: "Weiwei, you said that the children go to herd sheep in the morning and go out to play in the afternoon, are they a little unlearned and incompetent? Even if the times are not good now, the children You still have to be educated, you still have to learn, you can’t grow up and don’t even know a man. Don’t they say that no matter how hard it is, you can’t suffer children, and no matter how poor you are, you can’t be educated.”

These children only went to kindergarten and never went to school. The few words we knew were taught by us with cards at home. We never systematically studied Pinyin and Hanzi.

After hearing what I said, Weiwei nodded with deep empathy: "I have thought about this problem too. If our children continue to let things go like this, they may become illiterate in the future, but there are no schools open now."

She shook her head with a sigh.

"You're wrong if you think so. How can you learn in a school? There is no school now. Let us open another one at home and teach our children. We college graduates teach them a few little boys Isn’t it more than enough?” I think people’s potential can be developed, and if you haven’t been a teacher before, it doesn’t mean you can’t teach children well.

Weiwei asked hesitantly, "Can we do it?"

"Oh, why can't we do it? Our goal is not to teach a few doctoral students. Our goal is to let a few children learn Braille so that they can read books, add, subtract, multiply and divide, and learn some basic common sense in life. That’s it. Let’s all find out what we are good at, which is suitable for children, and we can teach it.”

I thought for a while and said, "I have to go to my mother-in-law for this matter. She has been an elementary school Chinese teacher and class teacher for decades, and she must be more authoritative than us. It is definitely right to ask her to discuss this matter."

"You must be looking for me for anything?" At this time, my mother-in-law and mother also entered the kitchen, and as soon as I saw that the cooking was ordered, it was here to cook.

I quickly said: "Mom, I just talked to Weiwei about children's education. We are now settled in the village. There is no place for children to go to school in these ten miles and eight towns. It used to be that the children in the village went to school in the county. Now there is no place for children to go to school." It is said that the school is not open yet, but even if it is open, we dare not let the children leave our side due to the changing environment outside. But the education of the children cannot be delayed, and they cannot be allowed to grow up and not have a long-term mind. "

Mother Qu was not happy when she heard this, and said: "You say who only grows tall and doesn't have a heart. I think our child is the best, and no one else can compare. If you don't have a heart, we Home is yours too."

When I heard this, I got angry, "Mom, what are you talking about, I'm not saying anyone is bad, I'm just worried if I understand, I'm worried!"

"I don't know what to worry about or not to worry about. Anyway, whoever says our child is not good can't do it." Qu's mother answered me very resolutely.

I have a feeling that heroes have no place to be brave. This situation can't be compared with my mother, but luckily I still have a reasonable old woman.

"I won't tell you anymore, mom, tell me I'm right, should the children be educated." I believe my mother-in-law will agree with me.

"Family, don't be angry with Xiaoyi. You mother doesn't know what kind of personality Xiaoyi is. She is too real and won't turn corners when she says anything. However, what Xiaoyi said just now has some truth. Our family is still good children, but good children can only be better if they are educated the day after tomorrow." Jiang Ma comforted Qu Ma first, and then agreed with my point of view as expected.

"That's right, the children are playing wildly outside every afternoon, and all of them are foolish, oh, except for Xuanxuan and Qianqian."

After hearing this, Weiwei whispered in embarrassment, "No exceptions, they are all just as stupid."

"If we don't let them learn Braille and other things, they will not know a single character when they grow up, which is equivalent to being illiterate. Mom, our children are going to be illiterate, so you can agree." My last sentence is Said it to Qu's mother.

"Whose children are illiterate? Can't you old college students take some time to teach? You parents haven't done it, so you have the nerve to say that your child can't do anything." After Qu's mother finished speaking, she recited it like I did. one time.

I know, this is my parent, I can't say anything about her.

"Okay, stop quarreling, mother and daughter, it's all for our children. Xiaoyi's idea is quite good, and your mother is right. There are so many college students in our family, and we can educate our children well. Open a primary school for these children in my own home." In the end, it was Jiang Ma's final word.
