Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 43 Literacy
Hearing the report from the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of the bookstore hurried up to Ye Xing and asked, "Young lady, just tell me what book you're looking for. But, I'm afraid we don't have any recipes here."

Ye Xing just stretched out her hand to touch the books on the bookshelf. Seeing the nervous look on the shopkeeper's face, she was afraid that she might damage the books.Ye Xing saw that people around him were covering their faces with books and smiled "PuPuPuPuPuPuPuPuPuPu", raised his eyebrows and said, "I want a copy of "Three Character Classic" and a copy of "Thousand Character Classic", please ask the shopkeeper to find it for me. "

"Hey, lady, did you buy it for my younger brother? I didn't expect your child to be enlightened so early. Can you find a school?" Those who are not very familiar with Ye Xing only know that their mother has a child, and because Ye Tao was too young to tell whether it was a boy or a girl, and the shopkeeper might have misunderstood it.

"No, I only have one younger sister." Ye Xing deliberately only half-spoken, to see how the shopkeeper reacts.

"That, that's..." The shopkeeper really couldn't figure out who else she could buy the literacy books for, maybe, maybe it was for herself.Thinking of this, the shopkeeper scanned Ye Xing up and down with suspicious eyes. It was hard for him to imagine how a country girl like Ye Xing read, besides, how could she understand it!

Ye Xing smiled frankly and accepted the gaze of the shopkeeper, and when she felt enough, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "I bought this book for myself to learn to read, and I also want to take my mother and sister to learn to read together. Now the shopkeeper's Can you help me find the book?"

Although the shopkeeper already had a guess in his heart, he was still taken aback when he heard it. Even the guests who laughed at Ye Xing just now were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Didn't close.

Zeng Chu, who was hiding behind the bookshelves in the back row, came out with some interest, and said to the boy next to him, "Did you see that girl, she was clearly teasing them on purpose. I don't think she needs to know how to read." Ah, she is so powerful every time I see her, Shen She really helped such a powerful character."

Ye Xing came home with two books, and when she saw Wang Shi and Ye Tao, she said excitedly, "Look what good things I brought back today?"

Ye Tao thought it was something to eat, so she quickly took a book and flipped through it, and when she saw that there was nothing to eat, she put the book aside in disappointment.Lin picked it up and flipped through it, and asked curiously: "Myolie, what is this? Why does it feel like it's full of words, recipe?"

"The recipes are all in my head. These two books are "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", which are used to recognize characters."

"What?!" Mrs. Lin almost broke the book with a trembling of her hands, and she was so frightened that she quickly closed the book and smoothed it out, "My darling, this is the book that Kaimeng used to read in school? It must not be cheap, right?" .”

"Xing'er, what are you buying these two books for? Do you really want to learn how to read?" Wang recalled what Ye Xing said about learning to read, so she didn't just say it casually, but she remembered it until now.

"That's right, it's not just me, you and Xiao Taozi have to learn together too." Ye Xing showed Wang Shi Ye Tao who was squatting on the ground playing with ants, "Look, we are busy making dim sum and selling dim sum during the day, and Xiao Taozi can only Playing alone in the house or in the yard, she dare not go out to play in the village, let alone on Fucheng Street. If she knows how to read, she can still have something to do every day, and you and I will not be too big If we don’t know anyone, they won’t dare to fool us in the future.”

Wang didn't know how uncomfortable it was for Ye Tao to be alone in the house, but she couldn't take her outside to sell snacks, and she couldn't take care of her when she was busy. It would be bad if she ran out.

Ye Tao, who is about to turn four years old, doesn't know that her future will be changed. She feels that her sister and mother are looking at her, so she raises her head and grins at them.

"Knowledge is good, it's a good thing for her anyway, I don't need it when I'm old." Wang felt that what Ye Xing said made sense, but she remembered an important thing, "But how do we know each other just by buying books?" Words, only the masters of the school can teach them."

Ye Xing had thought about this matter a long time ago. The school would definitely not want three girls to study, and they couldn't afford to hire female gentlemen. She was literate but she couldn't reveal it. This matter could only be done in a roundabout way.

"What's the problem? Don't the shops on the street have signboards? Just read the words on the flags to know what the word is." Ye Xing said confidently, "The "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" are even simpler. , I send a little snack every day, which kid on the street won’t come and recite it for me, add one or two sentences every day and add the words on the signboard, I believe I can learn it soon.”

"That's good, the dim sum is available in the shop, and it saves Shuxiu. I heard that Mr. Shuxiu is very valuable, and you have to send meat and clothes during the festival!" Lin stood aside enviously. Well, Mrs. Wang and the three of them are really living a good life. Not only can they read books, she dare not think about what they will be like in a few years.

Ye Xing is a person who can do what he says, and it is the same when he is studying. The next day after the decision, the family of three officially embarked on the road of literacy.

"Ye Niangzi Restaurant." Ye Xing pulled the flag at the door of the shop, pointed to the words on it and read, "Look, this is the name of our shop. I will write it on the ground with a branch later. We will write it today. Learn these five words."

Ye Xing wrote the five characters big under the eaves, so that Ye Tao could keep reading while sitting in the door and warming the fire. To encourage Ye Tao to read, Ye Xing said: "If you can remember at least two characters for lunch later, I will reward you with a candy."

"Yeah!" Ye Tao cheered. Normally, Ye Xing would not allow her to eat more candy and snacks for her teeth to be healthy and to be able to eat normally. Now, she can eat one more candy every day for reading. She is now full of interest in reading. .

Because it was the first time such a thing happened, Ye Tao also sat at the door of the house all morning, reading a few words back and forth.Seeing Ye Tao's serious appearance, Wang and Lin couldn't help but smile at each other. Sometimes they deliberately teased Ye Tao, but Ye Tao refused to look up.

When it was time to eat at noon, Ye Tao nervously looked at the writing on the ground, wanting to take another look at it and remember one more word.Ye Xing erased the writing on the ground with a stone, and then wrote only the word "mother" and asked Ye Tao, "What is this?"

Ever since Ye Xing erased all the words on the ground, Ye Tao felt that her brain memory had also been erased, and those words felt strange when written alone.In the end, Ye Tao could only remember the word "zi", and there was only one word left before she could eat candy.

Ye Tao felt a little frustrated, she pouted, tears were rolling in her round eyes, Wang hugged her with some distress, looked at Ye Xing and said: "It's only the first day, and no one taught me, if you recognize one, you'll be fine." Not bad, give it to her."

"That can't be done. You must abide by what you say. If I give her candy so easily today, she will know that she can eat candy even if she can't read well." Ye Xing refused without thinking, you know Children know how to do things based on the behavior of adults. She must not let Ye Tao develop such a bad habit, otherwise it will be useless to read.
