Yanhong nodded as she listened and walked around again.
She discovered that the people in this team not only had a strong sense of survival and were united, but also their vision seemed different from that of other villages.
Any child or woman in the countryside can actually recognize a few medicinal herbs.
What shocked her even more was that almost every child could recognize words.
Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I know them all!
If it was a boy, she wouldn't be surprised at all, but it would be a big surprise if it was a girl.
After all, she knew only too well how unfair the world was to girls.
"Don't be so surprised. It's not just the children here who have learned to read. We've all been fleeing the famine, and while we were identifying herbs, we also learned to recognize the words for them.
"Every word our children have learned must be taught to us adults. If we adults don't follow along and fail to recognize the words during a random check the next day, we will be punished by the children's teacher."
"Ah? Kid teacher? I understand that you kids are teachers, and if you don't study well, you will be punished by the kids?"
Yan Hong was really shocked. What kind of people were these refugees?
Not only are children learning to recognize words, but adults are also learning to recognize them.
Moreover, it sounds like it was taught by little kids!
"Hehe, our village has been very busy ever since we fled the famine.
It would be boring just to rush on the road, but we also had to teach her how to read. Every time we walked, we would identify the herbs and learn the words at the same time.
If the kids learn well, the two teachers will reward them.
Oh, where did the rewards come from? Our village has money saved up in the village committee. No one has any objections to using some of it to reward the children.
Xiushui's family said that whether these children learn to read well or not cannot just depend on what they say, but they also need supervision from us adults.
But how can illiterate people like us supervise?
Xiushui said that the easiest way is to let the children teach us. The whole family will follow suit and those who fail to learn will be punished.
Being punished by kids, I would be embarrassed even if I am an old woman. Besides, I had no place to learn to read before.
Now that I'm old, I can still learn with my children and grandchildren. What a wonderful thing! When I'm on the road and have some free time, I can recite it in my mind a few times.
No, ask your colleagues and combine it with the herbs you find. Even if you don’t know how to do it by just thinking about it, you will be able to do it.
Also, our kids are really interesting when they teach. When they talk about characters, they also explain how the characters came about. They tell us how they were originally and how they evolved into what they are today.
Occasionally, I would combine it with some classic stories. Tsk, these words, I really got to know them slowly..."
“Not only people from our village, but now people from the women’s village are also learning to read with us.
A large number of people in the Nara tribe are illiterate.
Now it seems that we find it very interesting. When it is time for the kids to attend class, we also ask them to go and attend class.
Then the adults also started to worry about the people in my village, and were taught by the children as well. Haha… Anyway, seeing everyone so motivated is great, it really is great.”
Yan Hong was amazed when she heard this. She suspected that they were not fleeing from famine, but were learning something all the way south.
Look at them, they not only keep fit, but also learn all kinds of knowledge.
More importantly, the villagers’ cohesion has become stronger because of fleeing famine.
"Although this village only has a few hundred people, its strength and potential in the future are probably unmatched by any other village."
"It seems that my choice was right. At first I had to stay because I had no choice, but now I really feel lucky.
Even if I meet my family in the future, I must persuade them to stay in the village. This village has unlimited potential and a bright future..."
"Xiushui, what kind of existence are you, and how come you are so powerful?
No, I must establish a relationship with your family.
Even if pharmacology doesn't work, your family has such great potential, there will always be places where I can be of use in the future."
Considering the education she received since childhood, she is not completely useless.
As long as she stays in the Wen family, she can create benefits for the Wen family. Why worry that Miss Xiushui will not keep her in the future!
Having planned her future well, Yan Hong felt more at ease to stay.
As it was getting dark, people who had been out looking for food came back one after another.
After returning, every family started kneading dough.
"Old Madam Wen and the village chief have agreed that each family should contribute enough food for their own family and then bring out the dishes. Then we can all gather together to taste the new food."
"I like this. We should do this more often in the future."
Yan Hong and the others who asked questions when they didn't understand something, finally understood what it meant to try something new from a hundred schools of thought.
To put it simply, every household cooks its own meal.
As for the dishes, each family brings out their own, you taste a little from mine, and I taste a little from yours.
Visit a hundred homes and taste a hundred kinds of food. You can eat a hundred kinds of dishes in one bowl of rice, and each one has its own taste. Even she, an outsider, started looking forward to such a grand event after hearing about it.
"How did you come up with such a good idea? This kind of thing of eating and drinking from a hundred families is usually impossible to do. It is only during our journey of fleeing famine that such a good thing can happen."
"Well, you girls are so lucky.
We weren't so united before. It was only when we unexpectedly got some food a while ago that we mentioned it during our meals.
Later, the old lady of the Wen family suggested that in the future, they could organize such activities for hundreds of families to try new things.
To be honest with you three girls, this is the first time we have a gathering to try new things from different places.
But everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we start today, it will surely happen often in the future."
"I like this kind of gathering. I like to try a variety of delicious food."
If there are any little kids, please raise your hands.
The adults rubbed their heads and smiled very kindly.
Yan Hong glanced at the group of people smiling happily, and then looked at the group of refugees about a hundred meters away.
They were all refugees, but the difference between that group and this group was like heaven and earth...
