Zhao Denglong doesn't usually live such a luxurious life, because she has to be careful with the food her mother left her.
After the meal, Sister-in-law Yulan cleared the dishes and went to wash them. Stone's mother also went to help.
The children conscientiously wiped the table clean, then took out their books and gathered together to read and write.
The bright lamp illuminated the entire main room, and even the courtyard was brightly lit.
He Shitou looked at the bright table lamp on the dining table with curiosity, a lamp that was brighter than the stars in the sky.
Blink and smack your lips.
Goodness gracious, what is this thing? It looks like the sun.
He Chun and Shi Tou's mother also wanted to ask, but they were both quite old. The children were all studying, so it wasn't convenient to bother them, nor could they bring themselves to ask so bluntly.
Since Liu Shuixian and Liu Yulan moved into this house, they have gotten used to reading and writing every night with lanterns and dumplings.
The homework assigned was exactly the same, and both of them were the type to be slow to get into reading.
If you have any questions here, you can ask Maruko for help.
In fact, the reason they had the opportunity to study was thanks to their mother and father, who were influenced by Wanzi's mother.
Although it wasn't easy to send them to school, their mother and father couldn't understand the point of education.
But he still spent money to send her and her sister to school without hesitation.
Liu Yulan touched the paper she was writing on with her small hands, holding a pen in her hand.
Paper and pens for reading were expensive. Before coming to Maruko's house, she and her sister could only write on the muddy ground with twigs.
"Sister Yulan, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Wanzi turned to a new page and led everyone to read the characters in the Hundred Family Surnames.
Brother Zhao Yan has already taught us fifty characters. Today we need to make sure we recognize them all, because we'll be testing us tomorrow.
Liu Yulan quickly came to her senses, "No, it's nothing."
He Shitou stood a meter away from them, craning his neck and staring intently.
Those words made him dizzy just looking at them.
What was Zhao Wanzi saying? He couldn't understand a word she was saying.
How do these young girls manage to calm down and read these lousy books?
He Shitou had yawned several times, but everyone in the room was still awake, and he felt embarrassed.
The children didn't disperse until the end of their lessons.
The six children methodically carried basins to the well to fetch water.
Zhao Denglong handed two basins to Zhao Shitou, saying, "Uncle, these are the basins you use for washing up."
He Shitou was startled awake and hurriedly took the two wooden basins.
He volunteered to fetch water for the maids and watched them carry their water back to their rooms.
Even the two dogs in the house rinsed their hooves in the water. Then they put their mouths in the water, blew bubbles a few times, and drank the water.
He Shitou was stunned. Goodness, is this dog a spirit?
Even when the village is not short of water, he usually doesn't have the habit of washing his face and feet before going to bed.
Let alone that, even taking a bath was a rare occurrence, only once every ten days or half a month, when we would go down to the river.
In autumn and winter, especially in the dead of winter, it's common to go four or five months without taking a bath.
I arrived at my sister's house on the first day, and I didn't expect her to be so particular about things.
He Shitou grinned, though he himself seemed a little uncomfortable with it.
