Chapter 94 Four Seasons Like Spring
As Zhao Chunhua spoke, she invited everyone to sit down and eat together.
Although today's meal was still mainly pumpkin-based, at least there was fragrant white rice to go with it, which made Zhao Chunhua feel quite satisfied and happy.
Not long after lunch, Goudan was the first to fall into nap mode, lying quietly on the bed and falling into a deep sleep.
However, Zhao Chunhua at this time seemed to have no intention of resting.
She first picked up the rag and carefully wiped the dining table in the main room clean, then she spread out a few sheets of paper, prepared the pen and ink, and prepared to start copying the text.
Zhang Sanbao, who was watching the whole process quietly, did not make any noise to disturb her, but silently watched Zhao Chunhua concentrate on writing.
Although she was not very good at expressing it in words, she could clearly feel that Zhao Chunhua revealed an expression of special joy and enjoyment when writing.
At this moment, Zhao Chunhua looks a little different from usual, but her attitude of taking every matter seriously has never changed.
The young and kind-hearted Zhang Sanbao couldn't help feeling deeply moved. She thought to herself: Zhao Chunhua is truly a model of a lover of life.
It's that kind
A true love for daily life that comes from the bottom of your heart is not just about living a passive life, but about using your sincere efforts to create a better life.
Such an attitude is admirable.
In the future, she also hopes that she can become like Zhao Chunhua, who, even if she is in a remote place, remains proactive and has the greatest respect for herself and life.
Zhao Chunhua is like a role model, allowing her to see the spirit of continuous hard work even in difficult situations. This is not only an attitude towards life, but also a recognition and pursuit of self-worth.
After watching for a while, Zhang Sanbao was also inspired. He picked up a branch and started practicing in his own sandbox.
Seeing Zhao Chunhua's diligence seemed to ignite the fire of hope in her heart, making her realize that no matter how humble her starting point is, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will achieve something one day.
She used her little money to ask a carpenter to make this sand table specially for her.
This expense is not small for her, but in order to give her children a chance to study, she is willing to do it even if it means saving money in other areas.
For rural families, the four treasures of the study - pens, ink and paper - are too expensive.
As long as the family in the village has the means, they will try their best to send their boys to private schools to receive enlightenment education. Although the annual tuition fee is not too high, daily consumables such as books, pens and ink need to be replenished frequently, which is a considerable expense in the long run.
In addition, there is the matter of visiting teachers and giving gifts, as well as the various expenses of taking the imperial examinations later. Unless the child has outstanding academic performance or is regarded as a treasure by the family, ordinary families are generally unwilling to spend too much financial resources and energy on this path.
Children who are just learning to read do not start practicing calligraphy with a brush directly. Instead, they first practice on such a simple device to get familiar with the feel of holding the pen and the basic writing skills. This is also a low-cost way to learn.
The sand table made by the clever carpenter is quite popular.
A carefully polished wooden board with a few nails as edges, and a thin layer of fine sand carefully screened from the river, and such a simple and practical teaching tool was born.
It is not only low-cost and easy to maintain, but also very suitable for beginners.
The door to the main room was open, and a breeze blew in from time to time, bringing a bit of coolness.
The air is filled with a faint scent of grass, making people feel particularly comfortable and peaceful.
It was her first time copying a book, and unexpectedly she was in very good condition. It was not until the wind started to get stronger outside that Zhao Chunhua temporarily put aside the work at hand.
This focus enabled her to make considerable progress in a short period of time, but sudden changes forced her to interrupt the ongoing task.
The sky became gloomy and it looked like a rain was about to come.
The originally clear and bright sky suddenly turned into dark clouds, foreshadowing the coming heavy rain.
Zhao Chunhua quickly packed up the things on the table and put them into the old wardrobe.
Every detail was carefully taken care of to protect it from rain.
Then he ran outside and brought in the bedding that was drying in the sun, because if it rained, the repair work could not be delayed, otherwise it would make the house even more chaotic.
Fortunately, the little guy in the basket was still sleeping soundly and unaware of what was happening around him.
Zhao Chunhua would not deliberately maintain an absolutely quiet space for her sleeping children.
In her opinion, appropriate external sounds are very important for cultivating children's adaptability.
It is not good for children to be too pampered. If they are woken up by the slightest noise, it may become difficult for them to adapt to the complex and changing world outside in the future, which will make people feel exhausted.
Therefore, cultivating good living habits and the ability to deal with emergencies from an early age is the key to long-term considerations.
"This rain just saves us the trouble of watering the vegetable garden."
Looking at the changeable weather outside the window, Zhang Sanbao said with emotion.
The drizzle moistened the earth and made the air exceptionally fresh.
Although crops such as eggplant and beans are drought-resistant, if you want a good harvest, you still need to water them regularly to ensure that the plants have adequate water supply.
This is not only an experience in planting, but also a careful care for life.
“It’s pretty good.”
Zhao Chunhua agreed with a smile, saying that it was indeed a relief to have such rainfall after days of high temperature and drought.
Such weather seems to be God's recognition of their efforts.
In the small garden that her brothers had opened up for her in the front yard, various seeds had begun to sprout, and the lush green was filled with infinite vitality.
She had originally planned to water them this evening, and the rain had undoubtedly helped a lot.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the window, bringing a cool breeze and seeming to foreshadow the coming of a storm.
The branches swayed, making a slight but clear friction sound.
When people outside saw the weather change, they quickened their pace and rushed home to take shelter from the rain, fearing that they would get wet by the impending heavy rain.
Not long after, heavy rain came as expected, and the raindrops hit the eaves like beads, making a popping sound.
Zhao Chunhua and Zhang Sanbao were sitting opposite each other in the room, threading needles and mending old cushions.
This craft requires patience and meticulousness, but it also fills the whole room with a warm atmosphere.
When this house was built, large windows that can be opened and closed were specially designed to ensure good lighting and ventilation conditions.
In summer, the windows are opened for good ventilation; in winter, they are closed and the gaps are sealed with insulation materials to prevent cold air from invading the room, making the cabin comfortable all year round.
