Chapter 954: A Dream (35)
No one could understand Su Laixi's shock, and no one wanted to understand it.
The three brothers Su Laifu, who have never learned to read and write since birth, nodded seriously after hearing what Su Ruanruan and Su Dahao said, and said that they would study hard.
Although Su Dahe wanted them to learn to read and write, he couldn't just stop them from doing any work.
Therefore, after lunch, he took his family to work in the fields, but he thought about coming back early in the evening so that he could learn from Su Runruan for a while while it was still day.
It doesn’t matter if you can only learn one word a day. There is still a lot of time to come. Over time, you will be able to learn more.
The older members of the Su family had all left, leaving only Su Ruanruan and Su Laixi at home. Therefore, the only person Su Ruanruan could teach was Su Laixi.
Su Ruanruan sincerely hopes that one of the four brothers in the Su family can become a scholar.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not included in the history she had studied, it was still an era where "everything is inferior except reading."
If there is a scholar in a family, it will have a great influence on the entire family or the entire clan.
At this time, people emphasized scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and emphasized passing on farming and studying from generation to generation.
Even if the Su family could make money by selling watermelons and strawberries, they were just ordinary farmers and might attract the covetousness of others.
There still has to be a scholar, even if he can only pass the exam to become a scholar in the end!
Because of this idea, Su Runrun was very patient when teaching Su Laixi.
She used to be a teacher, so naturally she had her own teaching methods. She wouldn't teach like the village chief, who would just recite something several times and then write it down and ask students to copy it.
Su Runrun first explained to Su Laixi the meaning of the words and told some interesting stories. After arousing Su Laixi's interest, she asked Su Laixi to read, write and memorize them carefully.
After an afternoon, Su Laixi actually learned the first eight words of the Thousand Character Classic: The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless.
Su Laixi is a real child. He is only seven years old and at the age when he loves to play. He can learn eight words in one afternoon. In Su Runrun's opinion, this is already very impressive.
"Fourth brother, you are so smart. As long as you study hard, you will definitely pass the exam and let our family live a good life. Then our family will be rich and we can eat white flour and meat every day. You can also become a high-ranking official and everyone will listen to you."
As for children, of course we have to paint a big pie for them so that they have the motivation to move forward.
After hearing Su Runrun's words, Su Laixi's eyes sparkled and he nodded rapidly, no longer showing any sign of being unwilling to learn as before.
While Su Runruan was teaching Su Laixi at the Su family, Xiao Chengjin was also teaching Sanniu and Siniu at home.
Sanniu and Siniu are nine years old this year and can already do a lot of things, but because they have two older sisters, they don’t have to do that much work every day.
Xiao Chengjin happened to have nothing to do in the afternoon, so he grabbed the two of them and taught them how to read and write.
Xiao Chengjin has also been a teacher, but he was strict when he was a teacher before. Although he has changed his body now, his temperament has not changed. When teaching, his aura is completely different. Although Sanniu and Siniu don’t want to learn very much, they dare not deal with such a Xiao Chengjin casually.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s a problem of intelligence or ability, but after an afternoon, they could only recite two sentences haltingly and didn’t learn a single word.
