After Song Nanzhi listened to Mo Tingyu talk about his injured leg and her own poor health, the good mood of digging for medicinal materials also dissipated, and a trace of sadness spread into her heart again, but she didn't Fortunately, Mo Tingyu showed up and only said that his health condition was getting better, "I'm almost in good health. I'll be fine after I finish taking these two pills at home."
Then he added: "I think the medicine this time is much better than the previous medicine. In the past, it was not easy to sweat. On this hot day, you are all making noises about the heat. I have never said anything about the heat all day long. , and my body was still very cold at night, but I felt a little hot last night and slept more soundly than before."
Mo Tingyu sighed after hearing this: "This time, Dagang's father gave him one tael of silver for medicine. He bought three sets of medicine for one tael of silver. The medicine he used must be better than before." After a moment of silence, Mo Tingyu sighed. Then he said: "In the final analysis, we still owe Dagang his father, otherwise we wouldn't be able to use good medicine."
In the past, medicines only cost fifty cents each, but now the medicine Dagang Daddy went to get was as much as six medicines in the past. If such an expensive medicine has no effect, what medicine should I take? kick in?
Song Nanzhi also followed up and said: "No, I gave one or two silver of medicine money, and also brought a chicken that lays eggs. This chicken has to take care of almost 200 coins. In the past few days, Dagang has been collecting firewood again, and I came here carrying pigweed. I told him not to carry it again, but no matter how hard I told him, he didn’t listen and kept carrying it every day.”
Mo Tingyu continued: "I used to think that this kid Dagang was disobedient, but now I see that he has changed a lot."
The two of them were talking about Li Dagang in the house. Little did they know that Li Dagang was now being forced by his father to go out to collect firewood. Early in the morning, Du Chunxia went to Li Dagang's room to wake him up. Li Dagang got up early for three days in a row and spent the whole morning and afternoon outside, either searching for firewood or cutting pig grass. She didn't want to get up and crawl into the mountains, so she ignored Du Chunxia's screams, turned over and continued to sleep.
Du Chunxia remembered Mo Ziwan's words, saying that when he didn't want to go, he must urge him and encourage him! I had no choice but to continue shouting patiently, "Dagang, you didn't say you wanted to read. As long as you persist today and tomorrow, Wanwan can teach you how to read and read. You can't be lazy at this time, otherwise All the work I did the past few days was in vain.”
Du Chunxia stood at the door of Li Dagang's house and said something loudly. Li Dagang's grandmother Feng came over and yelled at Du Chunxia: "I don't pick up anything at home. I just let others pick it up all day long." ." After complaining, he continued to yell: "You are still a mother. Who can act like a mother like you, urging your son to work hard for free all day long? I think you are not her mother, but more like that vicious stepmother. .”
Du Chunxia didn't dare to argue with her mother-in-law, so she only explained: "Dagang pushed Wanwan into the river, and grandma Wanwan was so frightened that she fell ill and couldn't do anything, so she asked Dagang to help collect some firewood. Yes, besides it doesn’t take much effort, Dagang should also learn to do things, otherwise it won’t work if he keeps playing.”
Du Chunxia later said: "Dagang is much more sensible these days than before."
Not to mention that Li Dagang pushed Mo Ziwan into the water and caused Song to fall ill. As soon as he mentioned that Mrs. Feng suddenly turned into a crazy woman and shouted: "Old Mrs. Song has tuberculosis in the first place, why is it that Dagang is blamed? Besides, Even if Dagang pushed Wan Yatou, she was so frightened that she couldn't move, and she wasn't out of breath. Yougui's compensation of one or two silver for the medicine is enough."
Speaking of one tael of silver, Mrs. Feng became even more angry and cursed: "You are a murderer with a thousand cuts, that's only one tael of silver. Your man can't earn even one tael of silver even if he goes to work for people in the county for a month. Just let him give it to you."
Du Chunxia hurriedly explained: "Mom, you didn't see it at the time. Aunt Song looked so scary that I couldn't even speak."
This is why Ms. Feng didn't dare to go to Mo's house to make a fuss, saying that she cheated them of a few cents of money. If it was normal, she would have gone to Mo's house to make trouble. But now at home, she was definitely going to let out the anger she had been holding in for several days, and yelled at Du Chunxia again: "You have given me money, why do you ask Dagang to collect firewood and cut pig grass? You Are you stupid or something? Why don't you live in someone else's house and help? Everyone in her family is dying and lame, and she is a sick child, a loser who is still young, and there is a lack of someone to do things in the house. You It’s a good time to go!”
Li Dagang originally wanted to continue sleeping so he didn't want to go to the mountain, but because of her grandma's noise, he lost all sleep. Not only did he lose all sleep, he and Mo Ziwan got along well these days. He couldn't help but feel unhappy when he spoke so viciously about the Mo family. He turned over and yelled: "Noisy, noisy, are you going to let us sleep?"
When Mrs. Feng saw that her grandson was impatient, she immediately smiled and said: "Grandma, don't say anything anymore. You continue to sleep, continue to sleep!" After saying this, Du Chunxia shouted in a low voice: "What are you still doing here? Not yet. Get off to the ground."
Du Chunxia accompanied her cautiously and said, "I'll go right away." But when she saw Li Dagang getting up, she still looked at Feng's unkind eyes and said to Li Dagang, "Dagang, don't you want to learn to read from Wan Wan? If you stick to today and tomorrow, you can learn to read like Wan Wan. Once you learn how to read, you will be able to read like your brother Guangming and Brother Guangming, and you will also be a scholar in the future."
When it came to studying, Feng didn't object any more. She just murmured in a low voice: "What can a four-year-old know? She just learned a few words from Han Shuxian, and she wanted to teach others, so she just found some She uses deceptive tricks to trick people into doing things for her, and she is full of tricks at such a young age."
It is precisely because Li Dagang has gotten along relatively well with Mo Ziyuan these days, especially since she is much younger than him, that he knows everything. Not only can he read, but his handwriting is also very beautiful, and he can also recognize medicinal materials, which is better than Brother Guangming and the others. It's much more powerful. Thinking of this, Li Dagang, who was completely sleepless, yelled at Du Chunxia and Feng: "If you don't go out, how can I get up?" The nearly ten-year-old child also knew the difference between men and women and felt ashamed.
Upon hearing this, Du Chunxia hurriedly turned around and went out, saying, "I'm going out right now." Du Chunxia walked out, and Feng also walked out.
Du Chunxia closed the door after Feng went out, stood outside the door and said, "I will put the rice on the chopping board for you, and you will bring it to you to eat after washing your face." After that, she continued: "I'll put the bamboo basket at the door for you, and put the sickle inside as well." Still worried, he told Li Dagang to remember to cut pig grass and collect firewood.
Li Dagang shouted impatiently: "I know."
After breakfast, Li Dagang went to the mountain. While looking for firewood, he also looked for pigweed. When he went to Mo's house, in addition to carrying a basket of firewood, he also carried a bundle of tied pigweed.
Mo Ziyuan looked at Li Dagang carrying firewood and pigweed, secretly happy, a little enlightened, not bad, not bad, should be encouraged. He walked up with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Dagang is so awesome! Today I collected firewood and cut pig grass much faster than yesterday."
Li Dagang couldn't help but feel better after hearing Mo Ziwan's words of praise for him. He said with a silly smile: "When I was picking up firewood, I saw pigweed around me, so I cut it off." He then scratched his head and continued. : "Why didn't I think of this method before? I had to collect firewood before cutting the pig grass!"
Mo Ziwan still praised: "No one knows it from the beginning. They all accumulate experience in life. The more you do it, the more you have experience, you will know what to do best." He added later : "Brother Dagang's ability to collect firewood and cut pig grass at the same time is the experience he summarized in the past few days. It can be seen that brother Dagang has put his heart into it, so he should be rewarded. From today on, I will teach brother Dagang how to read. "
Li Dagang was stunned by the sudden good news, "Isn't it time yet?"
Mo Ziyuan smiled and said: "This is a reward." She also thanked Li Yougui and Du Chunxia for helping take care of the crops in the fields these days. Ever since grandpa fell down his leg, the work in the fields has been reduced. Fortunately, they have temporarily helped She had to take care of her, otherwise the grass in the field would soon be taller than her.
Just like Mo Tingyu and Song Nanzhi, Mo Ziwan was also worried that no one would do the work in the fields! Fortunately, Li Dagang's parents are helping to take care of him. They have helped him so much, so of course he should repay them well! So by helping them teach Li Dagang well, she can now repay their kindness.
As for a few days later, after the Ganoderma lucidum and the book are taken to the county to be exchanged for money, the family will be richer and can spend some money to hire someone to take care of it.
Li Dagang didn't know that half of the reason why Mo Ziwan changed her mind at this time was because of his parents. At this time, he had a look of surprise on his face. His hard work in the past few days and the joy of being recognized were all written on his face. He grinned and said, "Okay, I will definitely study hard."
Then Mo Ziwan took Li Dagang to the room where she usually studied and wrote. After entering the room, Mo Ziwan took out the lesson she had prepared in advance and wrote two short sentences on a piece of white paper, 'At the beginning of human life, Nature is inherently good; nature is similar, but habits are far apart; if one refuses to be taught, nature will change. After taking it out, she said: "Today we officially start learning. Let's start with the Three Character Classic." This was what she had prepared last night. She planned to teach according to the teaching methods of this era for the time being. The Three Character Classic is short and educational. He has a strong personality and couldn't be more enlightened. During the teaching process, he designed to adjust the length and add other courses according to his level of understanding.
"Brother Dagang, read it with me first." After saying that, he took the lead in reading, "In the beginning, human nature is good;"
Li Dagang sat opposite Mo Ziwan and started reading after Mo Ziwan's words, "In the beginning, human nature is good;"
After Li Dagang finished reading, he taught the next two sentences again. After reciting them three times, he pointed to the words on the paper and taught them word for word. The continuous reading was taught word by word. After teaching it five times, Li Dagang started to read it by himself. After he memorized the twelve words, he then explained their meaning. He only explained the meaning and brought a short story he made up. in.
