"Did he say it himself?" Zhang Dajiang asked again, as if he wanted to confirm something.
Qian Sanniang nodded and added: "His land is right next to ours. The girl was working behind me and he saw her."
"What kind of work can a girl do at such an age?" Zhang Dajiang said disapprovingly.
"I don't know either. She followed me and imitated what I did. By the way, Village Chief Zhou Qing also praised our little girl for being awesome." When it comes to little girls, Qian Sanniang is always very energetic.
At this time, there was an expression of pride in her expression. Obviously, it was a happy thing for the little girl to be praised by Zhou Qing, a scholar.
"Then she said she wanted to adopt the girl as her sister."
After Zhang Dajiang heard the whole story, before he could speak, Li, who had been listening next to him, spoke first.
"I think this may not be a good thing. Old man, you heard it just now. Village Chief Zhou Qing said that boys and girls can be sent to him for instruction. Maybe this was not a joke."
Zhang Dajiang was about to refute immediately, but looking at Li's serious look and thinking of Zhou Qing's seriousness when he spoke just now, things that should have been absolutely certain now became uncertain.
"You mean, he really doesn't mind teaching girls."
"I sincerely want to recognize this girl as my sister."
Li was very confident in her guess, "Although I don't have much contact with the village chief, I can tell that he is extremely soft-hearted. You have been listening to what he just said. There is no selfishness in it.
It’s for the sake of the villagers.”
Zhang Dajiang originally felt this way, but he just couldn't express it. Now after listening to Li's words, he felt suddenly enlightened.
"That's really true."
"Then from the Ojiang family, you mean to agree."
Qian Sanniang asked anxiously.
Li shook her head and said: "There is no need to be so anxious. After all, we have not been with the village chief for a long time. After a while, at least we have to wait for the vegetable planting to be over, so that we can see the village chief.
Are you really not selfish? Secondly, you can also see what the village chief is capable of."
"Besides, if the village chief really cares about the children, even if he doesn't recognize this sister, the village chief will also take care of several children."
Both of them were convinced by Li's words.
After Qian Sanniang got the answer, she felt naturally at ease.
After returning to the field where she belonged, she didn't work for a long time when her waist began to hurt. This was a long-standing problem of hers.
I have been bending over to weed today, and naturally the pain is even worse.
Just as she was gritting her teeth secretly and enduring, a handful of nondescript things were handed to her.
When I straightened up and took a look, it turned out that the village chief had returned.
The thing in my hand looks like a hoe and a sickle, but the thing in front of it is a sharp stone.
Qian Sanniang was a little confused as to what this thing was.
Perhaps because the confusion on her face was too obvious, Zhou Qing squinted his eyes, showed a crescent-like smile, and said: "Aunt Qian, this is what I made yesterday to pull the grass in the yard. Don't look at it.
It doesn't look like much, but it still has some uses. You can hold it and squat down to save some effort in weeding."
Qian Sanniang hesitated for a moment. Although the person in front of her smiled easily, there was no doubt in her eyes.
Finally, he took it and said thank you.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing nodded with satisfaction and picked up the newly bought hoe.
Start focusing on your own weeding business.
When she was tired, she still had fun thinking about it. She had been having trouble with weeds since yesterday.
I haven’t forgotten to think about the poem about leaving the grass on the plain. Not to mention, this poem is really true. The root system of the weeds is too developed, and sometimes even the hoe can’t cut them.
It is also possible that the nutrients in the ground are too good and they are fed too much.
And Qian Sanniang, who accepted the gift, had to admit that she felt a lot more relaxed with this strange thing in her hand.
In particular, the stone blades at the front are very sharp. If you push it down, you can cut off the roots of many weeds. It is much more convenient to pull it out gently.
She was even able to look after the little girl next to her who was still imitating her work.
Thinking of Zhou Qing's thoughtfulness, Qian Sanniang felt even more grateful.
Perhaps, the girl could be sent to the head of Zhouqing Village to learn how to read. Qian Sanniang had this idea in her mind.
Originally she would not have such an idea, but after listening to Li's analysis and what happened just now, Qian Sanniang was shaken. She originally only had a granddaughter, Xiao Niu, and she would be fine if her granddaughter was good to her.
In this way, Qian Sanniang firmly decided to send the girl to Zhou Qing to learn how to read.
Zhou Qing didn't know yet that her reawakened polite behavior of respecting the elderly and caring for the young would win her her first and only female student.
It can be said to be an unexpected surprise.
After working hard all afternoon, she finally completed one-third of the task with her unremitting efforts.
She didn't throw the weeds away, she piled them all together. Maybe because she saw him doing this, many people who didn't know why, especially the people in the two fields to her left and right, took away the weeds they had cleared.
Come over and put it together with Zhou Qing's.
Zhou Qing did not stop them. The reason why he did not throw them away was just an idea in his heart.
She had seen composting with weeds from some videos before, and she wanted to give it a try.
What if it succeeds?
You must know that the land in Dahe Village is not small. It is roughly estimated that it is at least a few hundred acres. Not all the land is fertile farmland. There are also many dry fields and mountainous lands. Of course, there are also wastelands. If composting can be successful,
, used to cultivate land, and is also good for increasing the yield of wheat seeds.
Zhou Qing deliberately chose the composting place downwind and close to the river. The silt of the Baihe River was also her target. There was no specific method, so Zhou Qing had to explore on her own.
She dug a hole in the chosen place with a hoe, and filled the basket with mud she dug from the river.
She used a hoe to hoe up the weeds, so that a layer of weeds, a layer of silt, and a layer of soil were piled up until all the weeds cleared from the ground were piled up. Finally, Zhou Qing was again
It is covered with a layer of soil, waiting for it to rot and ferment on its own.
Looking at the heaps of weeds and silt that stretched far beyond the ground, Zhou Qing himself was unsure whether it would be possible.
Zhang Dashuan, a person who loves to join in the fun, had already come over and asked curiously what she was doing.
Hearing that she was composting, she looked at him with an incomprehensible look, as if she was saying that he was doing useless work.
Zhou Qing didn't explain, it was just her attempt.
So facing Zhang Dashuan's confused and disapproving look, Zhou Qing shook his shoulders and said, "Try to see if there is any loss."
Good guy, this is the universal sentence formula of the village chief Zhou Qing. He remembered that he also said this to the villagers just now.
I didn't know for a moment whether to call him perfunctory or serious.
