After dinner, Zhuangzhuang didn't let his mother wash the dishes, but carried them back to the kitchen by himself. Xiaoguo was very happy. Although she had never been a mother, she had seen many videos on educating children on the Internet, which taught people not to spoil their children, but to let them participate in life appropriately and do things within their ability. Zhuangzhuang is a little boy, so he should not be spoiled.

Xiaoguo came out to observe the sedimentation of the potatoes. It seemed that the water had become much clearer now, and they only needed to wait a while before pouring it out.

Zhuangzhuang came out after washing the dishes and followed Xiaoguo to observe. He stood by the basin and saw that the water was much clearer. It was still dark before dinner. Huh? At this time, Zhuangzhuang seemed to see something white at the bottom of the basin. He pointed at it and asked Xiaoguo, "Mom, is this potato starch?"

Xiao Guo nodded, "This is starch. It won't work right now, but after a while, the water on top will clear completely and the starch below will be ready."

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was very comfortable for people. Xiaoguo moved a stool and sat outside, enjoying the pleasant time. After Zhuangzhuang finished observing the starch, he followed his mother and moved a stool to sit outside, with his arms behind his head, his feet crossed, and his eyes narrowed. Xiaoguo couldn't help laughing at the scene. This kid~

At this moment, Zhuangzhuang remembered something, "Mom, can I let Dahei and Xiaobai out?"

"sure."

Xiaoguo almost forgot that it would be nice to bask in the sun once the shed is set up.

Zhuangzhuang ran into the house and let the two cows out. The two calves seemed to be suffocating as well, and they rushed out as soon as the door was opened. Xiaoguo got up, locked the door, and poured some green grass for them to eat slowly.

Xiao Guo remembered that he had not shoveled their feces yet, so he picked up the hoe and went into the house. Fortunately, the two calves were still young and did not produce too much feces. Xiao Guo observed while shoveling and found that the feces were neither wet nor hard, and looked very healthy.

Zhuangzhuang watched his mother shoveling the manure in the vegetable garden and asked curiously, "Mom, why don't you throw it away?"

Xiaoguo put down the shovel and washed his hands. "Because mom wants to use it to grow vegetables. The vegetables grown this way are nutritious and grow strong."

After washing his hands, he sat next to Zhuangzhuang and said, "Feces is the food residue digested by humans or animals. After being excreted, it will produce a kind of comprehensive nutrition that is very good for plants and land. That's why people use feces as feed to make the land fertile, and the vegetables grown will also be strong."

Zhuangzhuang finds it amazing that even the most useless shit has its uses.

Xiaoguo looked at Zhuangzhuang's bright eyes and thought about bringing him some books next time he went to the market. Then he thought, "Zhuangzhuang, can you read?"

Xiao Guo felt that he had asked a very stupid question. How could he recognize words? Besides, the original owner had never studied any books, so how could she teach him to read?

Sure enough, Zhuangzhuang shook his head in confusion, "Brother Xiaohu and Sister Xiaohua can't read."

People nowadays have problems just getting enough food and clothing, not to mention that going to school costs a lot of money. How can an average family afford to send their children to school? It would be better for them to go to work in the fields early so that they can grow more food and get married when they grow up. Studying is a sheer waste of time and energy.

Only those whose families were rich and powerful could go to school. It was still a troublesome thing for children from ordinary families to go to school. Ordinary people were not accepted. Only children from wealthy families or families with high-ranking officials were accepted. So under this policy, ordinary people gave up sending their children to school and just farmed at home.

But Xiaoguo doesn't think so. She won't let Zhuangzhuang live such a chaotic life. When he grows up, she will definitely send him to school. So now she has to take advantage of this time to earn more money and build up a family fortune for Zhuangzhuang.
