Chapter 51 It seems that our family is going to have a headed woman
Everyone checked it out, and it was confirmed that what Xue saw was correct, and Liang Sheng became more and more restless.Pulling over Xue Jian seriously said:

"How do you calculate?"

Xue Jian shook his head lightly and said:
"I don't know either. Anyway, if you talk about me, I'll just listen and figure it out."

Liang Junlin was still not convinced and asked:

"You never went to school, who taught you how to count?"

Xuejian didn't speak, but Cao'er on the side said:

"I taught her. At that time, Xue'er was in poor health. She lay on the kang every day, staring at the bamboo fence. I couldn't find her to play with. I counted the bamboo pieces with her. I counted all the bamboo pieces in our house. I couldn’t count, so I asked my grandma. Then I taught Xueer to count.”

Liang Junlin didn't believe it, so he said a few numbers casually to let Xue see it.Also let the eldest brother remember the calculations.As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Xue Jian gave the answer.But Liang Junlei took a while to figure it out.The answer is the same as Xue Jian.Now Liang Sheng became even more restless.It seems that this niece is very talented.It's just that she was born as a woman!

Liang Sheng looked at Xue Jian more seriously and said:
"Can Xueer know how to read?"

Xuejian didn't know how to answer.Let’s say we know each other, and I don’t know if Xue Jian has heard or read books before, let’s say we don’t know each other.I am also afraid of revealing my secrets in the future.Besides, until now, I haven't seen what kind of characters in this era look like, are they traditional characters or what?

Xue Jian simply replied honestly:

"I don't know. But can uncle teach me?"

Liang Sheng smiled faintly and said:

"Okay, as long as Xue'er wants to learn, my uncle will teach you. My brothers are also literate, so they can teach you too!"

"And me, I also want to be able to read and write, and I still want to read."

Chengwen on one side was afraid that he would be ignored, so he hurriedly made a statement.Xiao Yuewei also stepped forward and leaned on her little uncle's lap, raised her head and said:

"I want it too, I want it too. Third Uncle, is literate good?"

Everyone laughed.Even Xuejian opened the corner of her mouth and laughed.Xue Jian smiled, and the brothers all rolled their eyes.This little girl is so beautiful when she smiles.

Liang Sheng happily picked up Xiao Yuewei and said:
"Okay, there are also Xiao Yuewei and Wen'er. I will teach them. However, literacy is not for food. It is after you recognize a word, you know its meaning. When you read a book, you will know the meaning of the book. Then you will understand a lot Makes sense."

Yuewei was still young, so she couldn't understand.But when I heard it was not edible.There is no interest.He bowed his head, which was regarded as a response.

Liang Sheng looked back at Liang Junlei and said:
"Go back and find your first literacy books and handwriting stickers. Let's teach these little ones how to read. Girls can't go to school, so it's good to learn at home."

Liang Junlei nodded, turned around and went to the room in the backyard to look for it.Only Liang Junlin still didn't understand how Xuejian calculated it, and kept walking around Xuejian, saying two or three numbers from time to time to let Xuejian calculate.Then I ran away to write to calculate, and then check again.Under one pair, it is still right, but if you don't accept it, if you don't accept it, fight again, fight again, and lose.Until dinner, Jun Lin never let Xue Jian go, and he didn't believe that there was no time when Xue Jian was wrong.Everyone else in the family shook their heads.

Junlin's confidence is getting less and less, but his unyielding drive drives him not to admit defeat.Even when eating, he sat next to Xue Jian.It takes Xue Jian to calculate a chopstick, and Xue Jian calculates a dish.Everyone was speechless to Junlin.Sit down until you eat.When the whole family was chatting in the yard, Mrs. Chen took out her purse and handed it to Mrs. Zhang, saying:

"Mother, today I went to the street to buy something and the rest of the money is here. I will give it to you."

Then, he handed the money bag to Mrs. Zhang, and said:

"You asked me to buy some cloth for some children to make clothes. I bought it and used it for five hundred and thirty coppers. I bought some white flour and used it."

"Wait a moment."

It was Liang Shengyue who called the stop.Liang Shengyue called Xue Jian and said:
"Xue'er, can you count money? Can you figure out how much your second aunt used to go shopping and how much is left over?"

Xuejian nodded a little confused and said:
"Should be able to?"

Liang Shengyue said again:
"Okay, second sister-in-law, tell me what you bought today, let Xuejian calculate how much you used. How much is left?"

Chen shi laughed and said:

"Okay, it seems that our family has a female fortune teller. Listen. I just said that it took five hundred and thirty coppers to buy cloth, one tael of silver and 45 coppers to buy white flour. It took 410 coppers to buy salt. Thirty coppers, and it cost [-] coppers to buy each shovel, and this man is the best, not one copper is too much. It took [-] coppers to buy meat.”

Everyone listened to Mrs. Chen talking, and Jun Lin hurriedly picked up a branch and drew on the ground, counting.As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Xue Jian said:
"A total of one tael of silver and one thousand eight hundred and six coppers were used."

After hearing Xuejian's report, everyone laughed.Jun Lin laughed the loudest.Finally found Xuejian's mistake.Xuejian did the math silently again, isn't that right?
Junlin proudly reported his own number:

"Sister Xuejian, you are wrong. It is two taels of silver and 810 six coppers."

Xue Jian was a little dazed.It was Xiaocao who reacted and said:

"Xue'er is right, Xue'er just hasn't seen silver and copper. She doesn't know how many coppers a tael of silver is. She has been staying in the house and has never gone out."

As soon as Xiaocao said, everyone fell silent.Yes, the previous Xuejian was a sick child.Every day I wait to eat and die.Where have you seen and used money?No one seemed to have told her either.

Zhang's heartbroken pulled Xue Jian and said:

"That's right, Xue'er didn't make a mistake in the calculation. It's one tael of silver, 810 and six coppers. We Xue'er will know later, one tael of silver is one thousand coppers."

Xue Jian also sighed at his own stupidity.Why didn't I think of converting it?But fortunately, I have a good excuse to say that I really don't know how many coppers are in a tael of silver.

But Xuejian's calculation skills are obvious to everyone.Grandma said again:
"Then Xue'er, grandma gave your second aunt four taels of silver and 35 coppers this morning. Do the math and see how much she has left. I'll beat her for missing one."

Grandma waved her hand in a fierce manner on purpose.Xue'er didn't speak anymore.He only looked at the second aunt.The second aunt smiled and said:

"Yes, Xue'er, do the math quickly, and then we'll count whether I'm right or not."

Xuejian opened her mouth and said:

"There should be one tael of silver and 210 nine coppers."

Junlin excitedly picked up the money bag that was in his grandmother's arms and counted it out, and even Liang Xia followed suit, and the children counted down.It is one tael of silver, 210 and nine coppers.Really not more than one less.

Now even Liang Zhongqiu was interested.See what Xue Jian said:

"Hey, it seems that our family is going to have a female headed. This account is clear. From now on, help grandpa settle the account."

Xuejian hid her head in her grandma's arms in embarrassment.In fact, she was secretly having fun, and finally she was able to make herself look a little bit more prominent.Take your time. Take your time.
