The old man was very excited to be able to invite Fang Jun to his home. Although he knew from early on that the prince-in-law was a free and easy gentleman, he was just a farmer in his family. Because of his gratitude to Fang Jun, he had the courage to invite him.
Suddenly, I didn’t want it to be like this!
All the houses in the village have the same structure, with three main rooms, bedrooms on the east and west sides, a main hall in the middle, and a kitchen behind the main hall. If the family has a large population, two side rooms, a chicken coop and a duck coop will be built in the yard.
Right in the yard, there is a pigsty at the gate.
This was built with money by Fang Jun when these victims were settled. It was very simple, but not crude. It gave these homeless victims a warm home after the natural disaster struck. This was the hope of survival...
Fang Jun drove all his family back, and he and Yu Ming led a tall horse and followed the old man into the village.
It happened to be the end of school. A few days ago, the school had a full-day holiday during the busy farming period. In the past two days, the spring plowing was gradually coming to an end, so the school had half-day classes. A large group of girls and boys, each carrying a small schoolbag, ran back to the village like herding sheep, and walked with Fang Jun.
Had a meeting.
A large group of children immediately lined up in an orderly manner and saluted Fang Jun in unison: "I've seen Erlang!"
The immature children's voices appear uniform and very pleasant to the ears.
Fang Jun narrowed his eyes with a smile and nodded: "Hello, everyone! Don't run around. Go home and eat quickly. In the afternoon, follow your parents to work in the fields. The children who come out of our school should not only be first in reading, but also first in farming.
, even herding oxen and pulling plows, you have to be the best at everything!”
"Here!"
The children all responded in unison, and the braver child stood up and asked: "Erlang, why did you come to our village?"
Fang Jun pointed to the old man in front of him: "The old man invited me to be a guest at home. Children, don't ask so many questions. Go home quickly. The adults at home should be waiting in a hurry!"
"Here!"
There was another shout, and a large group of children immediately dispersed and ran home quickly on their short legs, wanting to quickly tell their adults that Fang Jun had come to the village as a guest.
Fang Jun came to the old man's house and saw that the yard was neat and tidy. In the pigpen, two piglets were humming and humming. Their fur was smooth and they were obviously very strong. Because Fang Jun had a castration.
This method made the pork lose its previous odor and taste very delicious. The nobles in Chang'an gradually accepted pork, not to mention the ordinary people, and the demand for pork was very high.
Almost every household in Lishan raises two pigs. When they sell them during the Chinese New Year, they can get a huge subsidy. Some farmers who live a better life simply slaughter them themselves and invite their relatives and friends nearby to eat them lively.
Have a meal of slaughtered pigs, keep the pork needed for the New Year, and sell the rest.
Some industrious people will raise ten or eight big fat pigs in their pigpens. As long as they are fat and disease-free, the money they can get from selling the pigs in a year does not even need to be much less than farming...
A happy life is always gained through accumulation bit by bit.
As soon as he entered the main hall and sat down, the old man washed his hands and went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. A child with combed hair tremblingly carried a kettle to make tea for the two distinguished guests. The teapot was almost as big as his head.
It was very difficult to get up, but he refused Fang Jun's attempt to take his hand and insisted on pouring tea for the two of them.
Fang Jun picked up the big bowl and took a sip. The farmer didn't have any good tea. He just picked the persimmon leaves from last autumn, boiled them in boiling water and then dried them. This was the method Fang Jun taught everyone. However, although the process is simple, the color is yellow-green.
The tea soup tastes soft, sweet and has a very good taste. The most important thing is that this tea has a very high content of various vitamins and can facilitate urination. Drinking it regularly has many benefits.
Mr. Yu Ming also picked up the bowl and took a sip, tutted his lips, and said in surprise: "The taste is very good!"
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows proudly: "This kind of tea is made from persimmon leaves. A certain church gave it to everyone. Now many people in Guanzhong drink it."
That pride is not covered up at all. For him, whether it is a waterwheel, a ditch, or even iron and steel smelting, every "invention" that can bring real benefits to people's lives can make him feel
to realize the value of one's existence in this world.
This allowed him to get rid of the alienation and loneliness of standing in the clouds and looking down at the mortal world as a "reborn person", and completely integrated into it.
Yu Ming took a deep look at Fang Jun, then raised his hand to rub the child's head, and said warmly: "It's good to do some work within your ability, but it's hard for you to carry such a big teapot. If you accidentally burn it,
, wouldn’t it make my family worried? So in the future, we should act according to our ability.”
The child blinked his eyes and spoke very clearly and intelligently even though he was only five or six years old: "There are guests at home, how can we let the guests pour water for themselves? That is very rude behavior and will be looked down upon. 'You can't raise it.'
"Teaching is the fault of the father; lax teaching is the fault of the teacher," so I cannot let the guests think that the teachings of my father and teacher are not good because of my impoliteness."
Yu Mingshi was stunned...
"It's the father's fault if he doesn't teach him. If he doesn't teach strictly, it's the teacher's fault." He chewed these two sentences back and forth. After chewing them once, his eyes lit up, and finally he stared at the child with bright eyes: "This is what I said.
It’s so good, profound, and insightful! Is this what your teacher taught you? To be able to speak such profound and philosophical words must be a great Confucian at that time. Can you tell me who the master’s name is so that I can pay him a visit in person someday?”
The child opened his mouth with one front tooth missing and smiled hummingly: "Grandpa, haven't you heard of this sentence? This is from the "Three Character Classic", a book compiled by Erlang, specially for children
I read it. But the new teacher said that although the Three Character Classic is very good, Erlang is not a great scholar, he is a stick! Cack!"
Yu Ming was shocked. After all, his time in Guanzhong was short. He never thought that there were such books in private schools. The most important thing was... the book compiled by Fang Jun?
He looked at Fang Jun in surprise, only to see the latter's face was dark, and he was staring at the child: "It's so innocent! Where is the stick? Tell me quickly who your teacher is, and I promise not to beat him.
Kill him!"
The child said happily: "Our new teacher Linghu and Grandpa Fang are very good. Although they have only been here for two days, I often see them playing chess and drinking tea together. Erlang, please don't kill Teacher Linghu, okay?"
Okay? Otherwise, Grandpa Fang will get angry and you will get beaten!"
The Grandpa Fang he mentioned was of course Fang Xuanling, but who was that damn teacher Linghu?
To be able to play chess and drink tea with my father... I guess he is not an unknown person.
But Fang Jun doesn’t care who he is!
If someone is innocent behind his back, then he should be prepared for revenge from a certain roommate!
Yu Ming pulled the child to his side and asked: "My good boy, you are really smart. I wonder if you can recite the Three Character Classic for grandpa? Grandpa has never read such a good book?"
"Of course! I am the best memorizer in our class!"
The children were excited and excited, and recited in a tender voice: "In the beginning, human nature is good, similar in nature, and far apart in habits..."
In the main hall, the sound of reciting was crisp and loud.
Yu Ming was immersed in it and chewed the "Three Character Classic" word by word. It is easy to understand and contains truth. It is not long, but as a children's enlightenment book, it can no longer be excellent!
"People are inherently good by nature" and "If people don't learn, they don't know righteousness", which talks about the importance of education and learning to children's growth. Timely education and correct methods can make children useful;
"Being a son, Fang Shaoshi" and "filial piety first to brothers, second to seeing and hearing" teach children to understand etiquette, honor their parents and respect their elders, and use the examples of Huang Xiang and Kong Rong to educate them...
"Know a certain number, know a certain text" and "these ten meanings are shared by everyone" are common knowledge about names and objects in life, including numbers, three talents, three lights, three cardinal principles, four seasons, four directions, five elements, five constants, six grains and six animals.
, seven emotions, eight tones, nine clans, ten righteousnesses, all aspects are covered, and it is simple and clear.
"Recite with the mouth, maintain with the heart" and "Be warned, it is advisable to work hard" teach the truth that learning must be diligent and tireless. Only by laying a good learning foundation from an early age can one grow up to become a person who "serves the king from above and benefits the people from below."
Outstanding talents!
As an enlightenment book, it brings children not only literacy and cultural allusions, but also the philosophy of life!
How can a kid from a poor family get ahead?
Just read!
Only reading!
The true meaning of this "Three Character Classic" will inspire countless students from poor families to be more motivated and will ignite the hope of students from poor families to study!
Yu Ming looked at Fang Jun with a sullen expression and marveled in his heart. This "Three Character Classic" alone was enough to establish Fang Jun's status as a great scholar!
But why has such a shocking work not spread in Guanzhong or even the world, so that I have never heard of it?
After thinking about it carefully, Yu Ming understood that it was not that the "Three Character Classic" was not good enough, but the political game that caused it to be boycotted by all parties in Guanzhong and failed to spread. But true gold is not afraid of fire.
, who can suppress such a shocking work that is destined to be passed down for generations?
In the kitchen, listening to his little grandson reciting aloud, the old man who was sorting vegetables burst into tears.
The poor family in the farmhouse finally has a scholar...
There was a sudden noise outside the door, interrupting the old man's sigh. He quickly wiped his hands and went out to see what happened.
