Chen Ye quickly put the basket in his hand on the ox cart, tied it up and got on the cart. Chen Ye got on the cart without any hesitation. Old man Feng sat on the eaves of the cart in front and cracked the whip, and the old ox slowly walked away.
If she hadn't bought a lot of things today, Chen Ye really wouldn't like riding in an ox cart. This old ox pulls very slowly, not even as fast as she walks.
"Grandpa Feng, have you eaten?" She came out with some snacks.
"Eat it. It's easy for me to cook for one person. Did you come back yesterday? Did everything go well?" Others don't know what Ye Zi is thinking, but as Ye Zi's teacher, how could he not know what Ye Zi is thinking?
"Everything went smoothly. Don't worry. When I have cleaned up the yard, why don't you come and live with me?" The old man taught her a lot of things, and she would be willing to take care of him in his old age.
Old Man Feng is very different from Old Man Chen. Old Man Feng is very open-minded. He not only teaches Chen Ye the knowledge in books, but also teaches Chen Ye the principles of life. Old Man Feng played an indispensable role in preventing Chen Ye, who has never lived a happy life, from turning evil.
Old Man Feng shook his head and refused, but the smile on his face showed that he was very happy: "When I can't move anymore, you can come to see me from time to time. I am healthy now."
This child was born with a hard life, and he couldn't add burden to the child. He didn't do anything for the child, just taught the child to recognize words and occasionally gave him some food. His life was saved by this child.
"Shut it down! Your sister will live next to yours from now on. Aren't you happy?"
He tightened his toothy little mouth and said, "Well, I can be with my sister every day from now on. Grandpa Feng, it would be nice if you could live over there with me."
"I won't go. With my weak body, I dare not live over there with you." He was purely a scholar, without any fighting skills, so it was safer for him to live over here.
"Stinky boy, you're about to go to school, right?"
When talking about going to school, his little face twitched. He didn't understand what was good about going to school.
Seeing Shuanju's expression, Chen Ye and Old Man Feng both laughed out loud. This brat was good at everything except studying. Old Man Feng refused to teach him after three days. He had never seen such a slow-witted child.
Obviously Chen Ye had also seen Shuanzhuo's temper. Even someone with such a good temper like Chen Ye almost got angry.
"Grandpa Feng, what's so good about going to school? Look at the uncles and uncles in the village who can't read, but can't they still work and support their families?"
Old Man Feng...
Chen Ye smacked the rope on the head with a slap. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you that studying is useless? Look at the people who go to the city to work. How many of them can't read? Without education, you'll never leave the village."
Shuanzhu rubbed his head and said: "Sister, I have already said that I will join the army when I grow up. If I join the army, I will leave the village and I don't need to know how to read to fight."
"What nonsense! Who told you that you don't need to be able to read in war? If I give you a piece of paper with information, and you can't even understand what's written on it, how can you complete the mission?"
"Ah! Isn't there someone else out there? Can't I just let them see it and tell me?"
"What if the person next to you is a bad guy hiding in the team? If you let that person see your confidential information and it leaks out, who will be responsible for the losses?"
Shuanzhu scratched his head, not quite understanding what he was saying but also understanding the general meaning: "So I have to go to school?"
"Not really. Even soldiers need to be educated. Educated soldiers at least have the opportunity to become leaders in the future. Uneducated soldiers can't become leaders even if you are given the opportunity. Don't you want to be a leader in the future?"
"Hehe, of course I do. Look at how majestic the leaders of our commune are. I want to be that majestic, too."
Chen Ye... has a promising future.
"A gentleman says: Learning should never cease."
"Blue is derived from indigo, but is bluer than indigo. Ice is made of water, but is colder than water. A piece of wood, straight as a rope, can be bent into a wheel, and its curve will follow the circle. Even if it is withered and hardened and no longer straight, it is because of the bending that it has been made straight. Thus, wood becomes straight when it is tied with a rope, and metal becomes sharp when it is sharpened. A gentleman, who is well-educated and examines himself daily, will be wise and will not make mistakes."
"I have thought all day, but it is not as good as what I learned in a moment; I have stood on tiptoe to gaze, but it is not as good as the broad view from a height. When you wave from a height, your arm does not become longer, but you can see farther; when you shout into the wind, your voice does not become louder, but it can be heard more clearly."
"To borrow a carriage and horses is not to be swift, yet they can travel a thousand miles; to borrow a boat and oars is not to be able to swim, yet they can cross rivers and lakes. A gentleman is not born different, but is good at making use of things."
Chen Ye opened his mouth and started to spit out encouragement to study. His eyes were tied up like mosquito coils. What was his sister saying? Why couldn't he understand a word?
Old man Feng smiled and said, "Kid, ninety-nine percent of the people in the village won't understand what you said."
"Sister, what are you saying?" How come he can't even understand what I'm saying?
"Look at you, you don't even understand what I'm saying. How are you going to be a soldier in the future? Who do you think would want a soldier who can't even understand what they're saying?"
"Ah! A soldier must be able to understand what you just said?" What if he doesn't want to be a soldier anymore?
Chen Ye nodded seriously: "Yes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Don't you want to be a general?"
His eyes sparkled: "Sister, are you saying that I can be a general too?"
"Of course. My brother is such a talented kid. If he studies hard, he will definitely become a general in the future."
She puffed out her chest and said, "Sister, don't worry. I will study hard and I will take care of you in your old age when I become a general."
Old man Feng couldn't help laughing out loud, and Chen Ye's mouth twitched. This guy said you were fat and you were out of breath, but kids are so easy to fool!
Chen Ye purred at the tied-up crew cutter: "Alright, I'll wait for you to become a general and take care of me in my old age."
Old man Feng took out a book from his arms with a smile. It was the kind with vertical classical Chinese text. Chen Ye took it with a confused look on his face. What was he thinking? How could he take out such a book so carelessly?
"Didn't you say you wanted to learn some cooking skills in the future? It's not easy to find a master to teach you. Here's a recipe book I found yesterday. See if you can learn it by yourself."
Others may not believe it, but he thinks there should be no problem with Ye Zi. This kid's brain is really good, but he doesn't know if his skills can match his brain.
Don’t think that smart people can learn everything. People need to be smart and talented to learn skills well.
Chen Ye laughed when he heard this. Oh, isn’t this a pillow given to you when you are sleepy?
When she opened it and looked at the words on it, fortunately this should not be the original book. Although it was all traditional Chinese characters, it had punctuation marks.
She couldn't stand reading books without punctuation marks. She always wanted to read until she reached the punctuation marks in one breath, which always made her feel suffocated.
When it comes to learning traditional Chinese characters, Chen Ye started out by learning traditional Chinese characters. When he first went to school, he couldn't adapt to it and always felt that the simplified Chinese characters were missing something.
