Chapter 115 Educating People for a Hundred Years

Lao Zheng is the distant family of Zheng Zuliang's family, and he can be regarded as a relative. He has been a servant in their Zheng family for decades. He has seen many guests who have been welcoming and seeing him, but not only is the master polite, but even the young master who is so dandy, he is very polite to him. That's not.

He has seen this young man in the sedan, and this second time. Anyone with a certain status would not look at him when he saw an old man like him. This young man felt like he was as good as a spring breeze. Logically speaking, such a young man should have a certain status and make the master look more respectful. However, when the sedan entered the mud pit of He Lu, he didn't even tell him that he had stepped on the mud, the road was bumpy and he was very distressed when he walked down.

Liang Chuan is not a sweet person, and he is embarrassed to sit inside and let a few people suffer outside, so he keeps trying to get out of the sedan chair and walk back by himself. Lao Zheng did not agree. The master gave the order and did not deliver it to the door of his house. Then they could not go back. The master's words would be the golden jade order. If he threw the master's guests back, he would have become a deceiving master!

In the small mountain village, children had never seen such a sedan chair. Five or six children saw it strange, wearing snot and open-stand pants, chasing behind the sedan chair, singing happily nursery rhymes: "The groom, sitting in the sedan chair, came to Helu's small village, and raised his butt and two rats... "

Liang Chuan could tell that even their local children had a deep understanding of He Lu's poverty. Lao Zheng drove the children away and didn't want these little monkeys to follow behind his butts, but the children like to play. If you drive him away, he will stick it up again, like a candy.

Fan Dianyuan sat in the ground. The green grass stems on the red and red soil will not completely wither and yellow all year round, at most they will turn slightly yellow, but the grass leaves are still green and faint. Unlike them in northern Shaanxi, unlike them in northern Shaanxi, there is a decaying gray-yellow all year round. In the fields, as long as you are willing to work, how could people starve to death? He pulled a grass stem and put it in his mouth, watching the children chasing the sedan chair on the road, and more than a dozen of them fled to the famine in the fields were talking and laughing, and they felt deeply moved.

Yesterday on New Year's Eve, the young lady took Lao Cai to visit them and brought a bag of white rice for each of their families. The rice is so fragrant. It turned out that when a group of people walked to the south, they were worried that they could not eat rice that was beyond the south. Unexpectedly, the snow-white rice tasted so fragrant! In my hometown, I couldn't get food in the fields, or I was hungry, and I could get one or two black buns to eat, so I could swallow it with water, just hoping that my stomach would not be uncomfortable.

I am really lucky. When I went south to meet such a good boss, I was still a little girl. I was beautiful and kind-hearted, just like a female Bodhisattva. I gave myself a group of miserable people to eat and live. Now I just whip him with a donkey whip and let them go back to my hometown, and they will not go back again.

The farm work in the field is to be exhausted when the seedlings were planted in the first few days, but at that time, I just started working for the young lady, so I could see it even if I was tired! The sugarcane ridge had to be repeatedly digged several times, plowed the soil in the field to pieces, and before laying the seedlings, the mud and water in the seedling pit were crushed, and the decomposed farm fertilizer was poured out. I don’t know who taught the young man He Lu this way of doing this. He has never heard of such a service method when planting the land for a lifetime. Now, sugarcane seedlings are planted, and they are much more leisurely. If the sugarcane seedlings in the land are not fat or strong, is it still natural?

He had never eaten sugarcane. He heard the dolls say that this thing was sweeter, even sweeter than the honey water on the mountain! He dared not secretly eat the precious cane seedlings of the boss's lady like the dolls. That was because the dolls were ignorant and greedy. He took the work and ate the seedlings of other people, and that was not a rat in the rice jar! The young lady valued this sugarcane field so much. After he had to bear the kindness of others, he had to help them get things done, otherwise he would be sorry for his conscience!

A group of children chased Liang Chuan's sedan chair and chased him to the gate of the He clan's ancestral hall. It turned out that there were only a few children in groups of three or three. Later, they laughed and sang folk songs and brought all the children in the village. A mighty and spectacular team shocked the whole He Lu, thinking that someone had a big man or a happy event. With such a big show, I have never seen such a scene in some years.

In recent months, the people of He Lu saw this. He Lu seemed to have become different. First, a large area of ​​fields were developed, then some people started to build big houses, and then there were officials sitting in sedan chairs to their Helu Village. When did this small village in the mountain valley become so energetic? It was a ghost.

Most of the children's clothes were worn out, with undressed faces, and big snot snot hanging on their noses. Many children didn't even have decent pants, and they joined the crowd with their butts and chased behind the crowd to play, from three-year-old children to eight or nine-year-old children. They didn't know who was sitting in the sedan chair, but they knew they must be beautiful girls or masters, and their expectation was like a child who had been to the zoo for the first time. They followed the He Clan Ancestral Hall to see what the people looked like in the sedan chair.

When they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Liang Chuan walked out of the sedan chair. A group of children seemed to be neither a high-ranking official or a young lady in gorgeous clothes. Liang Chuan looked like an ordinary farmer, and he was wearing thick linen clothes like his father at home.

Liang Chuan didn't expect that he would ride a sedan chair, and there were so many children next to him who were escorting him, and he was very happy.

He Bao was coming back from the field, his feet were covered with red mud. He was wondering what big man was coming to Liang Chuan, and he had no choice but to find this young man. He Lu now has this young man with such ability, so that all the well-known figures from Xinghua, Fengshan, came to him.

Looking from a distance, it turned out to be Liang Chuan who came out of the sedan chair! He Baozheng came over and patted Liang Chuan from behind, which scared Liang Chuan. He Baozheng teased Liang Chuan and said, "What are you doing with a young man? You are so stylish now. You have to get a sedan chair to sit in and out. This will cost a lot of money."

Liang Chuan knew that He Bao was teasing himself, rubbed his hands and laughed, "It was so uncomfortable that he sat in this sedan chair. He was so trembling that he was about to vomit. It was not rented by me, but from a friend's house. He insisted on sending me back. I don't have that spare money. If I have that skill, I would rather buy some wine and meat to eat."

"I guess you are not that particular person. This person is easy to go from simple to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to simple. You are a good young man. It is better to touch these things that talk about pomp and comparison. You have saved up your family business. Listen to my old man."

"Oh, I'm so impressed today. Hey, did you see it just now?" Liang Chuan pointed to the large group of children and said, "Whose children are from? There are so many of them, don't you be afraid of being kidnapped and sold when you put them outside?"

Trafficking? He Baozheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Liang Chuan like a fool, and said, "Tradering children? That is, you can think of it. If the farmers don't have enough food, they have many children. I wish others wanted to get a few to raise them. Who would do this?"

Liang Chuan forgot that there are really many children in this society. Where can there be any loss of orphanage caused by family planning? If you want to adopt one from relatives and neighbors, who would do such a careless thing except for the little girl selling it to a prostitute village?

"Isn't you able to learn in the village? It's okay to read some books, and there's a way out in the future. I roll around in the mud every day, and I can only hold a prickly son in the future. The son of the shepherd is a shepherd. There will be no future for generations." Liang Chuan said seriously without joking.

"Ha, your Grand Official Zhang is getting louder and louder now. Studying? Who doesn't want to study? But do you know how much it costs to study? Do you need money to ask a teacher? Whoever has a certain status would not want to be a teacher in that prosperous and prosperous place and come to our small ditch to make a mess with us?" He Baozheng patted the mud on his body and found a wooden stick to scrape the mud on his feet.

"Don't say that sir is willing to come, but several families here have the money to afford to read and read. Every household lives a tight life, and they don't even know where the rice that can be cooked tomorrow. Is there any use for studying? Can it be eaten as a meal? Who would do that thankless thing? Have you read books, read and know these great principles, but can't you feed your stomach first when you are hungry?"

Liang Chuan looked at his modern mind, He Baozheng was a complete idea of ​​the uselessness of reading. He shook his head, deciding He Baozheng's words, and said, "You are wrong. There is a golden house in the book and a thousand gold coins in the book. You can go to the field without reading, but after reading, you will get a fame and fortune, the hard days of several generations have completely changed. You don't have to face the loess and back to the sky to make a living. Not to mention becoming a high-ranking official in the court, even if you are a clerk in the county, it is not a trivial matter for our Helu Village!"

He Baozheng said, "I don't know if there is a golden house in the book. I only know that it is not easy to raise a baby to study. School, gentleman, pen, ink, ink, ink, desk, all of which require money... Don't think about it. I know what you said may be right, but some people are born as a mud-legged life, so don't worry about it if you shouldn't think about it!"

Liang Chuan said, "Baozheng, you said yesterday that our village is getting worse and worse. I have promised you that the village will be getting worse and worse. You don't feel sorry for watching these little babies who only know how to catch grasshoppers and dig out bird nests all day long. Don't worry about any school. If you don't have it, let's use your He clan ancestral hall as a school. As for the teacher and other study fees, I will find a way. I will try to let all our little kids in He Lu learn!"
