Chapter 230 The Importance of Literacy

Then he looked at Daya who was standing there and said, "Why don't you come over here and thank your aunt and sister-in-law."

Daya came over and said, "Thank you, aunt and sister-in-law."

Aunt Liu was really very happy!

If Daya could work in the Song family, she would be twelve years old now, and in two years when she turns fourteen, she would be able to get married. With this job, it would be easier to get married.

Song's mother explained: "Because we didn't need many people this time, we didn't post a notice and went out to find people ourselves."

Aunt Liu said, "I understand, I understand. Thank you so much, sister-in-law."

Shen Xia looked at Daya: "Is Daya your nickname, or is your real name Daya?"

Aunt Liu was embarrassed: "My real name, because the country people are uneducated, they all call me Da Ya, Er Ya or something else!"

"Oh, let's change her name! It will be easier to call her at work." Shen Xia suggested. But imagine, when the name list is opened, it will all be Ya'anuniu!

It's so awkward.

Aunt Liu suddenly had an idea: "Xiao Xia, why don't you give our two girls a new name!"

"Ah - aren't names given by parents?"

"No, you can usually find someone educated to come up with the name, or you can come up with it yourself. It's okay. I'll trouble Xiaoxia to come up with one!" Aunt Liu said with a look of assent.

Shen Xia glanced at Song's mother again.

Mother Song nodded.

Shen Xia glanced at Dayayan, then searched in his mind: "How about calling her Jingshu? It comes from the line 'The quiet girl is waiting for me at the corner of the city' in the Book of Songs. It means that the girl is quiet and beautiful."

Daya murmured, "Jingnv Qishu, Jingshu, Liu Jingshu," and then said happily, "It sounds good, thank you sister-in-law."

Then he looked at Erya who came out next to him: "Yinxuan, taken from the line 'Return home, a song of Zhongxuan, military music' in Man Jiang Hong. It means that the girl is well-educated and well-mannered."

The little girl heard her name, "Yin Xuan," and said happily, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Aunt Liu heard the names of the two children and felt that they were very scholarly: "Thank you, Xiaoxia, these names are really nice. People with higher education would give them names differently."

Shen Xia smiled and said, "Auntie liked it right away."

Then he said to Ruyi: "Ruyi, give me this pen and paper."

Because those people needed to be called for registration, Shen Xia asked Jixiang Ruyi to bring pen and paper.

Register, the ink is ready-made ink.

Aunt Liu saw Shen Xia was about to write, so she immediately took out a small table.

Shen Xia put away her things and wrote the three words "Liu Jingshu" on a piece of paper: "This is Liu Jingshu."

Then he wrote the three characters Liu Yinxuan: "This is Liu Yinxuan. Remember your name. When you work for me in the future, you must learn your own name."

"Okay." The two girls said in unison.

Then cut out the written words and give them to them.

The two of them began to memorize their names seriously.

Later, Shen Xia told Song's mother what time she would arrive at the workshop the next day and left.

Then we went to Song Sung-jun's house next door, and Song's mother said that Song Sung-jun's wife was also hardworking.

Only then did Shen Xia remember that Song Chengjun was the one who buried Xiaotian’s grandfather with everyone else. Everyone else had left first.

He also stayed until the end.

There are only four people in Song's mother's family, and the two children are only a few years old.

"She is only a few years old. Her mother is working now. Will it affect the child?" Shen Xia asked curiously.

"No, Song Chengjun is a good parent and a family man, unlike others." Song's mother explained.

"Mom, his family's surname is also Song. Is he related to the Song family by blood?"

“Yes, but they are many generations older.”

"Oh."

As a result, the two of them arrived not long after walking.

Nowadays, every household has a yard, but the good ones have walls, while the bad ones just have bamboo fences.

Song Sung-gyun's home is a bamboo fence.

Just like the Song family’s previous courtyard.

You can see what the yard looks like at a glance.

I saw a woman and two children in the yard.

Song's mother called out, "Sungkyun's wife—"

The woman turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" She opened the bamboo fence and said, "Come in and sit down."

Song's mother said: "Okay,"

Then go in and sit down in the yard.

Since every family raises silkworms now, men don't go out to work.

The woman said to the inside of the house, "Sungkyunkyun, Sister-in-law Sungxiu is here."

Because Song Jiang's father was named Song Chengxiu, his family called her Sister-in-law Chengxiu.

After a while, Song Chengjun came out.

There was mulberry leaves in his hand.

Looking at Mother Song and Shen Xia, he quickly put down the mulberry leaves in his hand: "Sister-in-law Cheng Xiu, Xiao Xia, why are you here?"

Song's mother smiled and said, "There are too many people raising silkworms, so we need to hire some people at home, so I came to ask you if your wife is free."

The two were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly nodded: "Whenever you are free, you are free."

It was as if he was afraid that he would lose his job if he answered slowly.

Shen Xia smiled and said, "But my aunt is here to work, and there are only two adults in your family. Uncle Chengjun, you will have to take care of the children and raise silkworms."

Song Chengjun smiled and said, "It's okay, wait for the flowers to go, this good opportunity can't be missed!"

"Well, then you can come over at Chenshizheng tomorrow morning. What's your aunt's name?"

"I have the same surname as my sister-in-law, Zhao, Zhao Ruhua." Song Chengjun said.

"Okay," Shen Xia said, and asked Ruyi to bring paper so that he could write it down.

Why do you remember it yourself!

Because they all can't read, and those who can read only know a few.

Suddenly I realized the importance of literacy, which is used in all aspects.

After arriving at the Song family, I started teaching them to read, but they still don't know many words.

Suddenly I thought, aren’t Xiaowu and Xiaotian in school?

It just so happened that Fan Zifu was free, so he would spend an hour at noon teaching everyone to recognize characters. This way, everyone could take a break and learn characters at the same time.

Otherwise, many people would be illiterate and it would be troublesome in the future. They only taught her to recognize words and nothing else. The main thing was that she was afraid that Fan Zifu would teach her the female precepts.

Don't!

After leaving,

The two of them had to go to the Third Uncle's house alone, because the Third Uncle's house had no granddaughter.

Song's mother also said that the people in Third Uncle's family were of good character.

This job does not necessarily require a young girl, a woman can do it, so the third uncle's family asked for one person. As for who will do it, the third uncle will discuss it himself.

After watching Shen Xia and the other person leave.

Because everyone was at home today, when the two daughters-in-law heard about this, they looked at the two old people seriously.

Normally, the two of them get along pretty well, but when it comes to work, everyone wants it, there's nothing you can do about it.

Third Grandma and Third Uncle looked at each other.

In fact, both daughters-in-law are usually very nice.

But there is only one person for this job.

Grandma San was confused at this time: "Old man, I think both daughters-in-law are hardworking! Do you want to tell Xiaoxia to go with two people?"

The third uncle frowned and said, "No, since Xiao Xia said it's one, then it's one."

When Third Grandma heard Third Uncle directly refute her without even asking any questions,

He also looked unhappy, but didn't say anything.

The third uncle said, "Old woman, you are back alive! Believe it or not, although Xiao Xia didn't say how many people he wanted, it must be about ten. There are more than 200 people in the village. Even if they only want women, there will be half of them, only about ten people. If our family orders two."
