Li Guyu peeked out of the window and was dumbfounded. His hawkish wife had never been so obedient.
This is almost turning into an elegant swan.
…
A few people from Qingshan finished the big roof, and the yard turned into a spacious and comfortable area. Tables, chairs and benches were arranged, and several people sat down to drink tea for a while.
Uncle Erbai and several young men who came to help were holding teacups and staring at the room through the window.
Linglong's sitting posture, the sitting posture of the big poplar tree, and the sitting posture of the mute girl are all the same, but Linglong still looks noble.
Several people commented, "My mother-in-law should learn from it, and my sister should learn from it too. How handsome this is!"
"Isn't that right? A big poplar tree can learn it well, and the women in our family can even take a step forward."
"You can definitely teach the worst in the village well! Qingshan, can you let my wife come too?"
Qingshan rubbed his forehead... This is because I have to keep my wife busy, you bunch of bastards who have never seen the world.
"I'll ask my wife later if she can be busy."
…
After dinner, Linglong leaned against the oil lamp and rushed to make her wedding dress.
Qingshan fawned and made a bowl of honey water, "Daughter-in-law, are you tired of teaching Da Yangshu?"
"It's not tiring, it just takes time."
"Then...if there are a few more people at the same time, can you be busy?"
Linglong didn’t care, “It’s all the same.”
"Then... a few more people will learn etiquette and literacy. Can you... be busy?"
Linglong chuckled, "It's a good thing to be knowledgeable and sensible. Anyone who wants to learn can follow Dayang Shu's time and learn together."
Qingshan laughed, "Okay, okay! Thank you, wife! All the men in the village want their wives and sisters to learn etiquette."
Linglong pursed her lips and looked at him, "These men still know how to behave."
Qingshan went to her feet and took off her shoes, gently rubbing her feet and calves, "Daughter-in-law, from now on you will be Mr. Linglong of our village."
Linglong didn't care, "You are literate and have learned the entire Tao Te Ching. You can also teach men some simple words. You are also Mr. Ye."
Qingshan was embarrassed, "I... I'm not good at it... I can't write well."
"Learning etiquette is easy to speak, but learning calligraphy doesn't require so much pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Qingshan was rubbing his feet while thinking, "Can you ask each of them to bring a small basin, put some soil in it, and then write on the soil with a small stick? It won't cost anything."
Linglong smiled, his big head full of good ideas, "Okay."
"Tomorrow I will go to Grandma Sun to discuss the wedding date. She said there are a few good days and she asked me to pick one. What do you want, wife?"
Linglong looked at him and said, "Let's pick a day in early summer. It will suffer even in hot and cold weather."
Qingshan nodded, "Hey, I remember."
…
…
The next morning, there were a lot of people standing in the courtyard. When Qingshan went out to ask, he found that they were all here to study.
Some were persuaded by their men to learn, some were forced to do so by their fathers and brothers, and some came on their own initiative.
Qingshan directed, "Each person brings a small bench! Bring a small pot, fill it with soil, and bring a small stick. We don't need to waste pen and ink, and we don't need to waste anything."
Everyone obeyed the arrangement, and most of them went out to get their things.
There were six or seven thoughtful people who sent their men to prepare things while they lined up in the yard and took the front seats.
Dayangshu and Dumei must be the first.
Two quarters of an hour later, everyone was here. Qingshan organized everyone to sit down in the courtyard in order, keeping an even distance apart.
…
Linglong went out and saw that there were more than 20 women sitting in the courtyard, and there were more than 20 men standing outside the courtyard gate to watch the fun.
Linglong took out the rolling pin and put it on the table, "Two subjects. Literacy in the morning and etiquette in the afternoon. No need to bring a basin in the afternoon."
She asked Qingshan to find a door panel, stand it against a pillar, write a horizontal stroke on the rice paper with a brush, stick the rice paper to the door panel with rice grains, and explain carefully how to write this horizontal stroke.
There are too many people, and it is impossible to use delicate teaching methods to quickly achieve success.
In the morning, I finished teaching the horizontal and vertical strokes.
…
In the afternoon, I started teaching sitting and standing postures.
The sitting posture of the big poplar tree is already good, but even the standing posture is always strong and majestic.
Linglong asked her to take off her animal skin vest, and she was wearing a brown shorts and trousers underneath.
After taking off the animal skin, Nao Ren's upper body was even more eye-catching. Several sisters and sisters-in-law muttered that Li Guyu was lucky.
Linglong poked her hunched back with a rolling pin and hit her twisted legs.
Until her overall posture is correct, look at her seriously and say, "This is the right thing to do now. Keep it for two-quarters of an hour."
There were beads of sweat on Da Yangshu's forehead, and he couldn't bear to move.
Others followed suit, and most women found that after adjusting their posture, they looked better, and even their waists seemed to be slimmer.
In fact, it was caused by holding my chest in my chest in the past.
It seems that this dignified posture really works.
…
In the following days, I learned simple words in the morning.
In the afternoon, we talked about some dining etiquette, meeting elders, peers, juniors, how to talk to people of different identities, etc.
I taught him for ten days.
…
Before class ended on the tenth day, Linglong said, “I have taught a hundred words and etiquette.
Dear fellow villagers, starting from today, the preliminary study has been completed.
Folks who still want to continue learning can wait until after spring plowing.
Everyone will be busy in a few days. Let's take a break for a while. Let's go back to work. "
Everyone stood up, bowed slightly and saluted according to Linglong's instructions, "Thank you, sir. Student, please leave."
Linglong also returned the gift.
More than 20 people left one after another.
…
Xiumei pulled her sister-in-law and gestured: Sister-in-law, it’s great to learn etiquette and literacy. When the spring plowing is over and I’m not too busy, I want to learn more.
Dayang Shu stood beside him and said calmly, "Thank you, sir."
Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, "You can learn from your Li Guyu. Actually, there is no need to come to my place."
"He, when his little mouth moves, I...can't concentrate. Hmm...I'll go back and try again. Student, please leave."
…
Ever since the enlightenment thing started, Linglong has been surrounded by the group of women all day long, and she has no time to rest. This one comes to deliver food, and that one delivers rice, all here to please his wife.
Qingshan was the one who asked for this matter, and Qingshan couldn't say he was unhappy about it.
But that was his wife, his daughter-in-law, and everyone came to her to attract attention. It was so annoying!
After everyone left, Qingshan picked up his wife and ran away.
