After thinking a lot and considering a lot, Jia Zhengjin couldn't push this poor little guy off the bed and let the child sleep on the floor, right?
So, I took firewood and leaves beside the bed, made a temporary so-called "bed", and covered it with old clothes and lay down.
Sleep until dawn.
After waking up, the child found that he was sleeping on the bed. As the owner of the house, "Niu Shun" actually spread firewood on the floor, huddled in the corner, and apologized repeatedly. He also said that he could sleep on the bed if he let "Niu Shun" sleep on it.
Firewood pile.
The child was sensible and kept apologizing.
"It doesn't matter!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand, "I made do with it last night. After all, it was too late to bother others. Before I go up the mountain, I will find a carpenter in the village to make a new bed. No one will have to sleep on the firewood pile."
"I'm sorry..." The child lowered his head and tugged at his clothes, feeling very uneasy. "The money left by my father was all spent on the burial... But I can work, chop wood, boil water for cooking, etc.
Can do it all!”
"No need!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I will find a way to pay for the bed. At the very least, I can get it by cutting more firewood. I think you can get it on credit from the carpenter, or you can pay for it with firewood."
"How about not buying a bed?" The child said hesitantly, "I can sleep on the floor..."
"What do you mean?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Your parents entrusted you to my father. Although my father has passed away long ago, of course, as a son, I have to take care of you. Although the family has little money, I can still take good care of you."
He weighed his words based on Niu Shun's character and tried his best to respond from the character's thinking circuit.
"Thank you, Brother Shunzi! I...I will definitely work hard and repay you well!" the child said seriously.
"Speaking of this," Jia Zhengjin said softly, "There is no work for you to do at home, so I won't take you to the mountains to chop firewood..."
"I can chop wood," the child said hurriedly, "I have the strength!"
"I won't take you there, it's too dangerous! At least not at your current age." Jia Zhengjin shook his head, "I thought about it carefully last night. When I went up the mountain to chop firewood during the day, I wanted you to study at Wang Xu's place.
Because taking you with you will definitely affect the speed of chopping firewood. If you are delayed and cannot collect enough firewood every day, the money you make will be less and it will be more troublesome. When you grow up, you can chop wood with me again.
.”
"Studying?" The child was obviously stunned when he heard this, "Me?"
"That's right! You are still young, so there is no need to rush to help with the work." Jia Zhengjin said, "Although my family doesn't have much money, but I would like to spend a little more effort and collect an extra load of firewood every day. I think I must ask Mr. Wang Xuwang
, he will still agree, after all, we are fellow villagers."
"I feel sorry for bothering Brother Shunzi here." The child said hurriedly, "How can I not work and even let Brother Shunzi chop wood for me to study? No, no! I can help Brother Shunzi work.
, whether it’s going up the mountain to chop firewood, going down to the fields to farm, or doing laundry and cooking..."
"I have decided, maybe if you study hard, you can get a meritorious status." Jia Zhengjin advised, "When the time comes, you will have a meritorious status, and I will still have to rely on you!"
"Fame?" The child was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Brother Shunzi, I can't pass the exam..."
"Why not? You won't know until you pass the exam!" Jia Zhengjin made up his mind to send his child to Wang Xu, so he said firmly, "You can't be without confidence in life."
"That's not the problem..." The child blinked and pointed to himself, "From ancient times to the present, where have girls studied to study for merit and fame?"
"What's wrong with the girl? Girl...ah? Are you a girl?" Jia Zhengjin came to his senses and stared blankly at the child in front of him.
"Yes!" The child nodded, "Only ladies learn these things. Girls from poor families only need to know how to work!"
For Jia Zhengjin, it is nothing for girls to read, read, or even show off their talents.
Before time travel on earth, men and women were already equal, and women held up half the sky.
In the first different world after time travel, the status of women is not too low. At least in the Holy Dragon City, there are many female prime ministers and female generals. As long as they are capable, gender is not an issue.
But right now, the world seems to be still in the feudal era, and the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has not changed.
Women here are not allowed to show up casually. The emphasis is on staying in the boudoir. That is to say, women from poor families need to work to supplement the family income. They can also work in the mountains or in the fields. However, it has never been possible for women to study and obtain fame in history, and it is impossible for the government to allow it.
.
Jia Zhengjin thought of a countermeasure at night, but he didn't expect that the child turned out to be a girl.
If he is a boy, there will be no problem in studying hard to obtain academic status. As a girl, although she can also read and write, it has nothing to do with obtaining academic status.
In other words, it seems inappropriate to use fame as an excuse to arrange people to study and learn literacy at Wang Xu's side.
But the plan has been thought out, so it can’t be abandoned halfway, right?
Jia Zhengjin thought about it carefully and simply said: "What's wrong with girls? Even if you can't get any honors, it's good to read more and understand things."
"Brother Shunzi, if your family is very well off, there's nothing much to say." The child in front of him raised his head, "But I heard from those uncles that the money Brother Shunzi makes from cutting firewood every day is barely enough to eat.
I will definitely be able to eat enough. If I go to study, I will have to increase your burden. In fact, I am very satisfied if I can have a brick and a brick to protect me from the wind and rain! Brother Shunzi is willing to take me in, which is already the greatest kindness. Now let’s talk about me
I don’t like studying, and I don’t have the life of a young lady. I can do any work at home.”
"You're too young..."
"Brother Shunzi, I'm not young anymore! I will be thirteen after the Chinese New Year. When my mother was thirteen, she had already married my father."
"..." Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was speechless.
Marrying at the age of thirteen is too early, right?
"Brother Shunzi, I don't want to read any books. I want to go up the mountain with you to chop wood! I have the strength, really."
While talking, the child walked to the corner and reached for a bundle of firewood, hoping to carry it to prove himself.
As a result, the bundle of firewood was too heavy. She held it hard and her face turned red. She could only shake it slightly and could not pick it up at all.
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin stepped forward to stop him, "I know you don't want to live and eat here for free, but you are really young, so there is no need to worry. There is no light work for you to do at home right now. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, go first
Mr. Wang's house, right? At least I go to the mountains to chop wood during the day, so I don't have to worry about you."
"But Brother Shunzi..."
"Did Uncle Chu entrust you to my father?"
"Hmm~"
"If my father is not here, does that mean he is entrusted to me?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.
"Hmm~"
"So, who is in charge at home?"
"Brother Shunzi..."
"That's right! What I say at home is true." Jia Zhengjin nodded, "By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Daya! Yatou's Ya."
"Chu Daya?"
"Um!"
"..." This name is too casual, right? (To be continued)
