093 Teaching Writing
"Our last name!"
"Gu!" Gu Ning'an said, and then he touched the uneven characters on the ground with some obsessive hands, and muttered to himself: "Sister, the characters you wrote are so beautiful!"
"Daddy taught it before!" Gu Xiaowan quickly blurted out for fear that these children would ask herself again. Seeing several younger brothers and sisters looking at her with puzzled eyes, Gu Xiaowan's head instantly turned to stone, the father of this body should be illiterate!
"Uh... Daddy is amazing!" Gu Xiaoyi clapped his hands and said.
Gu Xiaowan heard what Gu Xiaoyi said, and instantly understood. When Dad died, these children were still young. They probably didn't know whether Dad could read or not. Moreover, in this rural area, it is a problem for ordinary people to even get enough to eat. Even if their father knows a few words, he will not show it off.
"Yeah, of course our father is amazing!" Gu Ningping showed admiration when he talked about his father. Dad taught my sister so many things, but it was a pity that when he was so young, he couldn't learn skills from his father at all. Gu Ningping was a little disappointed. Seeing that Gu Ningping's expression suddenly changed, Gu Xiaowan asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, I think I'm too young. If I grow up, I can learn my skills in front of my father, just like my sister. Learn to fish, learn to find ginseng, learn to dig bamboo shoots, and learn to read! But, my father is not here. Now, I don't know anything yet!" Gu Ningping's voice was a little choked, very sad.
Gu Ningping's mind was hitting the weakest place in Gu Ning'an's heart. Gu Ningping was right. These two men didn't learn anything. All of them were taken care of by the elder sister. silver. My sister, a girl, spends all day running the house, but the two men know nothing.
Gu Ning'an felt both guilt, sadness, and loss!
Seeing to see through the minds of the two boys in front of her, Gu Xiaowan was moved and felt extremely warm.
"You two are still young, your father and mother taught your sister the skills, that is, let her take care of you when you grow up. When you grow up, you will take care of your sister, okay?" Gu Xiaowan didn't say anything high-sounding empty words or clichés. In front of these younger brothers and sisters, Gu Xiaowan felt that all the words were superfluous. They could think of the difficulties of life, the hardships of their elder sister, and then they thought of sheltering her from the wind and rain. All this was enough. Everything he did, in front of their distressed eyes, was so worth it, so dissenting.
Regardless of whether they understood what she said, Gu Xiaowan knew that the most important thing in her life was to train her three younger siblings to grow up. Gu Xiaowan already had more than 700 taels of silver on hand, which was a huge sum of money. Although it is said that they do not need any money now, there are many places where they will spend money in the future. The two younger brothers must study, and they don't know how much the repair will cost.
Also, it’s not an option for the family to make money by going up the mountain like this. If they can buy some land and rent it to others, they can also sit at home and collect stable rent. However, this is for the future.
Gu Xiaowan has already made up her mind. After the new year and the spring, she will send Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping to the school to study. However, at present, she still has to teach them to write, at least, to learn to write their own name.
If you don't have anything like pen, ink, paper and inkstone, just draw it on the ground.
"Ning An, Ning Ping, I'll teach you how to write, okay?" Gu Xiaowan, who knew that knowledge is power, taught a Gu character, and let Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping practice by the side, guessing that it was almost time for dinner When the time was up, Gu Xiaowan hurriedly came to the hut and planned to arrange the meal for noon today.
Today is the New Year's Eve, and Gu Xiaowan intends to arrange the New Year's Eve dinner so that everyone can have a good meal.
For lunch, Gu Xiaowan cut a piece of meat, washed the meat and cut it into thin slices, boiled water in a pot, and after the water boiled, threw the meat slices in, and threw the cut radish slices in together. , boiled a radish and meat soup, served with sorghum rice, and all four of them were satisfied. After they were full, Gu Xiaowan walked them around the house a few times, then climbed into the bed and rested. When it was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xiaowan got up.
The snow was still falling outside the house, Gu Xiaowan started to prepare dinner, and asked Gu Ning'an and Gu Ningping to go to Aunt Zhang's house together, and invited Aunt Zhang and the others to come to her house for dinner. Why did Gu Xiaowan invite Aunt Zhang's family to dinner so early, mainly because she was afraid of the New Year's Day. Aunt Zhang's family prepared the New Year's dinner early, but it was too late, and Aunt Zhang's family cooked again, which was a waste.
When Gu Xiaoyi heard that the house was going to treat guests at night, he happily got up from the warm bed and ran to the kitchen to help Gu Xiaowan prepare dinner together.
Gu Xiaowan planned to fry some good dishes tonight, and invited Aunt Zhang's family to have a good New Year.
Since the father and mother of this body passed away, their four children were able to survive, thanks to Aunt Zhang's family. From time to time, I sent food or something, and then I was full and hungry. If it wasn't for the modern Gu Xiaowan passing through, if the real Gu Xiaowan really died, it is estimated that the three children left behind would still have to rely on Aunt Zhang for their future lives.
Therefore, Gu Xiaowan is very grateful to Aunt Zhang's family. Without Aunt Zhang, there would be no life as it is now. Before Gu Ning'an went out, Gu Xiaowan explained a few words to Gu Ning'an, Gu Xiaowan was afraid that Aunt Zhang would not come by then.
Gu Xiaowan is going to be more solemn tonight, stew pork ribs soup, stir-fry pickles with bamboo shoots, put some minced meat in it, and make another
Roast pork with radish. The pig that Gu Xiaowan bought has been cleaned up and hung on the beam, but Gu Xiaowan doesn't plan to use it to greet guests tonight.
In this country, pigs go into the water and other things, ordinary people don't eat them at home, they feel dirty and don't taste good. Gu Xiaowan is still an ordinary little girl. If she cooks too many dishes that even Aunt Zhang has never eaten, I don't know if Aunt Zhang will feel strange.
