- "In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If they refuse to teach, their nature will change. The way to teach is to be specialized. In the past, Meng's mother chose a neighbor, but her son did not learn, and the opportunity was cut off."
The village was buried under thick snow, making it difficult for everyone to go out. In a certain corner of Zhao Village, the childish and crisp sound of reading came from the tile-roofed house, which made people's ears clear.
In Zhao Village, except for the private school teacher in Zhao Lizheng¡¯s house, the tenants simply cannot afford and are not qualified to hire private school teachers to teach.
Zhang Weidong had nothing to do in the early morning after standing and practicing boxing, so he became a private school teacher, teaching Xiao Yueyue, Goudan, and Lan Lan to read the "Three Character Classic" as cultural enlightenment. Several families agreed unanimously.
It was very warm in the middle room at this moment.
A square, smooth wooden board stands on a low table, with some of what Xu Qing wrote in charcoal on it. Zhang Weidong was wearing unlined clothes, holding a 'pointer' in his hand and reading aloud. Three students sat behind a brand-new small desk and were reading along. However, Xiao Yueyue and Goudan were restless, their little bodies moved around, and their eyes were everywhere. Turn, just don't look at the 'blackboard'.
"You bitch, if you don't read it carefully, you won't be able to turn back with the slingshot!" Zhang Weidong hit him on the head with a pointer and threatened him seriously.
"Second uncle, I'm serious!" As soon as Goudan heard the slingshot, he wiped his nose with his sleeves and sat upright.
¡°Daddy, Yueyue must also be serious,¡± Xiao Yueyue also shouted cutely.
However, I guess Xiao Yueyue doesn¡¯t know what seriousness means.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Yueyue is the best!" Zhang Weidong praised. Xiao Yueyue was immediately happy.
Half an hour later, Zhang Weidong stopped reading, and Xiao Yueyue and Goudan couldn't sit still. Playing all over the floor with two cute little wolf dogs, only Zhao Lanlan climbed on the desk, holding a charcoal pen, and imitating writing seriously, as if she yearned for literacy.
In the kitchen next door, there was a faint scent, and Xu Qing was busy.
It¡¯s almost lunch time. Zhang Weidong put down his pointer and walked to the yard. The snow has been cleared from the yard. There were several high piles piled in one corner.
With his childlike innocence, Zhang Weidong became interested in snowdrifts and started making snowmen. In the blink of an eye, several large snowmen as tall as one person appeared in the yard. The bald head, stone eyes, and long wooden nose look a bit childlike.
"Brother Zhang"
Zhao Erbao and Zhao Tiedan walked into the yard from the outside and were stunned by several big snowmen with strange expressions on their faces.
The two of them disappeared without a trace after practicing in the early morning, and they didn't come back until lunchtime.
"Is there any work to do today? You're sweating profusely!" Zhang Weidong shook off the snow on his hands and said with a smile.
"well!"
Zhao Erbao sighed and said: "It's snowing so hard. We went to sweep the village road. Some people's houses were crushed, so we went to help!"
This is the second snowfall in winter. Still rare. Some thatched houses that were not strong enough could not hold up at all. In previous years, many houses in the village would have been crushed, but that was the result of many snowfalls. Fortunately, their house didn't have major problems, but other people's houses must have collapsed, so they went out to help.
Zhang Weidong said: "You didn't hurt anyone, did you?"
"Yes. But it's not a big problem. Mr. Zhao has hired a doctor to see the doctor. He only charges a fee!" Zhao Erbao said.
Zhang Weidong was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and understood the reason behind this move.
It¡¯s not that Zhao Lizheng is being kind, but he doesn¡¯t want to lose his tenants. Population is the greatest wealth these days. Otherwise, if a landlord wants so many fields and no one is cultivating them, then what¡¯s the point? On the contrary, some small favors at the end of the year can win people's hearts. However, the oppression of tenants by landlords cannot be changed in any dynasty.
¡°The land rent in Zhaocun is as high as 70%, and the tenants don¡¯t have much left over all year round.
In one family, the whole family worked hard together, and the food left was not enough. So in addition to the annual farm work, I had to go to the Zhao Mansion to find some work, and then collect some wild vegetables and other supplements, so that I could only eat half full. Even in winter, women are still busy.
Just like the Zhao family, one month before winter, she took on some work as a prostitute in the Zhao Mansion. When winter came, she would do it at home. When the snow melted next year, she would then hand it over to the Zhao Mansion and earn some copper coins to supplement her supplies. Home use.
"Actually, it's the same every year, but this year it's much better. Thanks to brother Zhang's gift of rice, everyone says you're good, and Mr. Zhao's house also gave you some charcoal, so you won't suffer from cold and hunger." Zhao Tiedan also sighed said.
Zhang Weidong waved his hand and said: "It's just a small matter, as long as the person is fine."
Zhang Weidong has no contact with other people in Zhaocun, and the last food donation was just a courtesyIt's just a gesture of generosity to others, it doesn't really have any purpose. At least in his heart, he was a monk who was above the world and had escaped from the mortal world. Nowadays, the dragon stranded on the beach and being teased by the shrimp is only temporary.
Zhao Erbao saw his daughter learning Chinese calligraphy again and asked about her study situation. He was extremely happy. Goudan suffered a lot and was spanked. He howled a few times and then forgot about it. Scholars are considered very high-ranking in the eyes of many people, and a scholar from a poor family can have a great reputation. Zhao Erbao does not expect his daughter or son to win the imperial examination in the future, but it is definitely good to be literate.
"Brother Zhang, they are begging you. If they don't obey, they will be beaten!" Zhao Erbao said happily.
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, don't forget they call me second uncle" Zhang Weidong pretended to be unhappy.
Er Zhao chatted with Zhang Weidong for a while in the yard, and then went back without entering the house.
¡°Let¡¯s come over for dinner tonight, it will be more lively when there are more people!¡±
The heavy snowfall here is terrifying. By the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, there had been four or five rains in more than a month.
During this period, the thatched houses of many people in Zhao Village were collapsed, and people continued to be injured. Zhang Weidong heard that people from the Zhao Mansion were acting frequently, helping some tenants to repair their houses and hiring doctors for only the cost. Zhao Erbao and Zhao Tiedan also helped many times. Fortunately, no one died because of timely rescue.
Many people were flattered and grateful to Mr. Zhao.
Zhang Weidong almost never leaves home. Stayed at home. Every day he stands, practices boxing, supervises everyone, or works as a private school teacher, so as to be a teacher.
And also in this more than a month. The changes in the three companies are huge.
Because there was enough food for the winter, Zhang Weidong also helped the two families with some meat from time to time to supplement nutrition. Everyone finally grew some meat on their bodies and the color returned to their faces. Of course, this does not need to mention Xu Qing's mother and daughter, Zhao Lanlan and Goudan siblings who were dining at Zhang's house.
The Zhang family¡¯s food is better, with white flour steamed buns, white rice, meat, vegetables, noodles, steamed buns, dumplings, etc., so varied and open to eat, it¡¯s like celebrating the New Year every day.
The body has strength. They are more looking forward to the future, and several people are more interested in learning martial arts. Practicing time will be extended by a quarter of an hour almost every ten days. Zhang Weidong is deliberately increasing the amount of training.
However, so far, Zhang Weidong has only taught the four people breathing techniques and Hunyuan Zhuang Gong. According to him, the four people were suffering from chronic malnutrition. It took more than a month to barely regain the physical strength of a normal person, but because I am not too young, I still need to continue to lay a solid foundation. The breathing method and Hunyuan Zhuang Gong will still have to persist for some time.
Waiting for the next step, the four of them will learn one more "Little Demon Subduing Fist" to build up their strength. To this end, Zhang Weidong also made soil powder bags of different sizes for the four people, which could be tied evenly on the legs, arms, and waists. If there was no sand, they had to use soil powder instead.
After that, he learned how to shoot a gun. Students will learn more about "Big Spear Stakes" and "Lance Steps", while those who learn swordsmanship will learn "Basic Sword Skills" with light, medium and heavy swords and "Bagua Spirit Sword Steps".
After that. Er Zhao also needs to learn "Basic Spear Skills".
When several people have practiced these basic skills to a certain level, Zhang Weidong will teach more advanced ones. In comparison, learning spearmanship is much slower than learning swordsmanship, which is why spearmanship is difficult to master.
So far, it is obvious that the four of them have practiced the breathing method and Hunyuan Zhuang Gong. They can clearly feel their strength growing, which is also the motivation for them to persevere with more confidence.
The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month. This is also the Little New Year, a very important festival that begins the preview of the New Year.
Starting from this day, many people put on brand new clothes, post couplets inside and outside their houses, prepare special food, and then worship various gods and gods to pray for health, safety and good weather for their families in the coming year. This worship will continue until the end of the new year.
Zhang Weidong was not familiar with the customs here, but Xu Qing knew that she also wrote the couplets. She prepared and worshiped them carefully, and he followed the local customs.
¡°Unexpectedly, on this day, people from the village came one after another to pay their respects in the early years, and they also brought some gifts, such as eggs, dried wild products and so on, saying that ¡®Master Zhang¡¯ is kind. This flattered him so much that he never thought about it. Fortunately, with Xu Qing's help, he returned double the gifts to the visitor, including some meat.
In addition, Zhang Weidong also gave red envelopes to families with children. There was not much money, there were only 20 copper coins in it, which naturally won everyone's gratitude.
"Brother Zhang, are you tired?" Xu Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Weidong wiping sweat and exhaling after seeing off the last wave of villagers, and took a towel to gently wipe his sweat.
Just now, Zhang Weidong was in a hurry, with a stiff smile, but he was generous with his actions. He also included red envelopes. Teenagers all have red envelopes, but in the blink of an eye, one silver coin was gone.
Zhang Weidong sat down and took a sip of tea.?He smiled helplessly and said, "Social entertainment is not what I'm good at."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
"By the way, let Brother Zhao and the others know later that if children under ten years old are willing to come to learn literacy, breakfast will be provided free of charge," Zhang Weidong said again.
Xu Qing said in surprise: "Brother Zhang, is this what you want?"
"Xiaoyueyue and Goudan are still too young. Just studying is too boring. It is better to be with some children of similar age."
"Then do as Brother Zhang said." After saying this, Xu Qing understood what he meant and naturally agreed. This will be of great benefit to the growth of Xiao Yueyue and Goudan.
There are not many children in Zhao Village, but there are only a dozen or so under the age of ten. The Zhang family can still afford to provide breakfast for a dozen children.
At noon, the Zhang family eats ordinary food, including multi-grain noodles and meat noodle soup, but for many people this is only eaten during the Chinese New Year.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao and others came over early to help Xu Qing cook, chop cabbage and pork fillings, make them delicious, make dough from white flour, and make reunion dumplings!
????????????????????Prepared a few more meat dishes, including a small jar of good daughter's red.
"It's just that Er Zhao was nowhere to be seen at first. After asking, I found out that they had gone to the village to help again.
It was not until the evening that Er Zhao came over. The three families had a great time eating and chatting a lot.
After Zhao and Lanlan helped clear away the dishes and everyone left, Xu Qing planned to put hot water on Zhang Weidong so that he could wash it. Nowadays, there is snow all over the mountains and plains, and there is no shortage of water.
"Stop being busy, let's have some drinks?"
""
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned and entered the kitchen.
The stove fire is burning all day long. When using the fire, add more charcoal, and when not using it, press it with charcoal ash, so that no more charcoal is wasted. In this winter, everyone in Zhao Village knows the importance of heating, so they are unwilling to waste more wood and charcoal, so Zhang Weidong bought a large amount of wood and charcoal and kept the fire on for the kang all day long.
The table was rearranged, and Zhang Weidong sat on both of them.
"Come on, Xu Qing, let's have a drink. I've been working hard on you lately!"
Ding!
Zhang Weidong drank it all in one gulp, Xu Qing actually drank it all and looked as usual.
"Have you ever drank alcohol before?"
¡°Not much,¡± Xu Qing said sheepishly.
"That must be a secret drink!" Zhang Weidong joked with a smile, while filling the two of them again.
The small wine cup is not big, but it only contains half a liang, and the degree of redness of this fine daughter should be more than 30 degrees, which is not low in this era.
When Xu Qing heard this, he said shyly: "Yes!"
Immediately, she spoke eloquently.
At that time, she was still a big girl, with an arrogant and restless temperament, and didn't like female celebrities, so she got her parents' consent and learned some martial arts. Once she saw people around her drinking frequently, so she became curious. However, her parents would not let her drink, so once, she drank secretly, drank too much, and became drunk once. Fortunately, she was drunk at home and slept peacefully.
But there was a smell of alcohol in the room, so she was grounded by her father for a few days.
From now on, even if she drinks secretly, she only treats it as fun, but does not dare to drink too much. As time goes by, she has a small amount of alcohol. But as I grew up, I stopped drinking.
Xu Qing seemed a little melancholy and bitter when reminiscing.
Zhang Weidong met her while chatting about random things. Gradually, Xu Qing drank too much, became more charming, bolder, talked more, and even mentioned the matter of learning martial arts in the past. However, the two never talked about their respective origins or who Xiao Yueyue's father was.
It¡¯s not over until the wine jar is empty.
The two of them washed up one after another, Xu Qing went to accompany Xiao Yueyue, and Zhang Weidong returned to the middle room alone.
What I said just now was just to open Xu Qing's heart and remove some barriers. He discovered that although Xu Qing was a village woman, she was a bit out of tune with Zhao Cun. Sure enough, he was good at martial arts, literate, and well-spoken, so he should have come from a wealthy family.
Why did you end up here with a small oil bottle?
"These are just fleeting thoughts. Zhang Weidong has no interest in those past. Maybe every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
