The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 404 It’s hard for the clan not to prosper!

So, after hearing her grandmother's answer, Dou said, "That's really rare. However, it's really great for you to escape famine together.

If you don't kiss each other, you will have to grab food and drink first.

Besides, there are probably a lot of people on the road waiting for us to come here, so we can’t get down here unless we stick together.”

Old Lady Hua: "Sister, you really understand. On this road, we are all willing to risk our lives for each other. We were in the mountains and were attacked by wolves at night..."

Several old ladies were startled: "Wolf?"

The people of Tangjia Village are terrified by the mention of wolves. After all, there are too many legends in the village about wolves coming down from Fangshan.

Old Lady Hua nodded: "It's not just one or two, there's a whole group. There were dozens of wolves, and they fought twice. And there was also the wild boar, which weighed over a thousand pounds and could kill people if you weren't careful..."

The old lady's barking caused the Dou family and the others to exclaim in surprise.

Shen Youyou wanted to say, "Grandma, please be gentle, this is too exaggerated.

What about Grandpa Gao's arrows that never missed their targets, and Grandpa Li's sword that chopped off wild boars' heads?

The stories about Da Hu, Er Hu, Uncle Ma Zi and others were so mysterious that she couldn't bear to listen. "

Finally, we stopped talking about wolves and pigs. Tang Xinnai praised again, "You guys are really capable. Not to mention how brave you were in fleeing famine, but just by looking at the fight, you guys set up food stalls.

Now we have the soles of the shoes decorated with flowers, and by next year, the blue brick house will probably be built. ”

At this moment, her grandmother was not bragging. She was even modest: "It's not that weird. We seem to be busy and make a lot of money.

But we actually have a lot of expenses. Just think about it, we old people need money for food and drink, clothes, etc.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but just a few days ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we went to the city to set up a stall, hoping to make some money and buy some cloth.

Besides, you can’t wear patched clothes all day long. It won’t look good to people who come to buy goods.

Guess what? "

Several old ladies: "What's going on?"

Old Mrs. Hua pretended to be distressed and said, "Hey, buy two sets of cotton clothes for each person, the ordinary kind.

It was just a little bit of money, and the daily necessities of the household, bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains and so on, it cost more than two hundred taels of silver!

I didn’t dare to pick out the best ones, the most expensive one was the clothes I bought for my grandson, the rest were made of ordinary fabrics.”

The old lady sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do. We have nothing to ask for during our escape. We threw away a lot of things on the way in order to carry more water.

We have to throw it away, because we are fleeing from the famine and drought.

During the most difficult time, my little granddaughter couldn't even speak, and she only took a few sips of water a day.

We dug a well on the way and nearly died of thirst before we found any water. Luckily we were lucky enough to survive, otherwise we would have all died if we hadn’t dug any water after digging for more than ten meters.

So, in order to store more water, we had to throw away almost all the household belongings at home. Don’t be fooled by the fact that we seemed to have a lot of things when we entered the village, in fact, we had nothing valuable!

Apart from the necessary pots, pans, and utensils, the most common items are the palm mats we made.”

In Shen Youyou's opinion, her grandmother's speech became more and more fluent, and her image was very inspirational.

For example: "We have to rebuild our home bit by bit. We are all farmers, and we know that a broken home is worth a fortune.

When will we be able to earn a fortune to buy a house? We have to buy everything from scratch!"

Another example is: "Not only have we bought a house, but now our little boys are studying in your school.

But we have gender equality in our family, and the girls in our family will have to go to school in the future, so I'll let my little granddaughter teach them. With so many children, it will cost a lot of money to buy pens, inkstones, and paper!"

She said with emotion: "Before I fled from the famine, my third son had a large bookcase of good books. This time, I didn't have time to bring them with me.

I also thought that when I made some money in the future, I would buy some books for my son one by one, so that he could still have as many books to read as before.

That’s why we work so hard to earn money.”

These are the people in front of us. Every family has children or grandchildren who are studying, and they know very well how much education costs.

But this is the first time I heard that farming families also want their daughters to go to school.

So they asked again, "How much money will it cost to buy lots of new books and to make sure all the boys and girls read?"

The expression on her grandmother's face showed a kind of indifference that seemed to see through all living things:

“No matter how much money is spent, it is a serious matter. We are a farming and reading family. Besides not forgetting the work in the fields, we must not forget the education of our children!

Moreover, in my opinion, it is better to let your descendants have the ability to have enough food and drink themselves than to leave them a lot of money to make them have enough food and drink.

Just like reading, not only girls should read, even at our age, we should at least learn arithmetic and simple common characters.

I didn’t think much of it before, since I couldn’t read, and I had lived my whole life like this.

But now, I've gone out and seen the vast world outside, and I don't think so anymore. My little granddaughter once said, "You never stop learning, as long as you are willing to learn, it's never too late."

For example, I am doing business now, and I can't ask others to do all the accounting in the future. Even if it is not troublesome, I am still afraid that I will be cheated when doing business with others in the future when there is no literate person around me.

What's more, if a boy is to be supported, it means changing the family status.

We also need to provide for our daughters. If our daughters can read and write, won’t they marry us peasants when they get married?

Can I manage the household and accounts, and be in charge of the backyard, and also make others praise me, saying that the girls in their tribe are more capable, knowledgeable, and well-educated than each other?

Of course, even if some kids don't like to study, they still want to learn a skill.

For example, if we recruit workers and teach them how to make hairpins, as long as our people can provide the materials, these girls will have a way to make money.

Not only will she not be a burden to the family, but she can also help the family. Even if she gets married, she has skills and can stand up straight in her husband's family. Wouldn't our family worry less and get angry less?

Maybe one day, when we can no longer move, our sons and grandsons will marry and forget about us, and we can still enjoy the blessing of our daughters and granddaughters.

After all, our daughter and granddaughter are capable and have confidence in her husband's family, so her husband's family dare not say anything about her. "

To be honest, Shen Youyou felt that if her grandmother's lies were to get out, the girls in Tangjia Village would probably have a much harder time.

Although the old lady still wanted the girl to be successful and help support the family, saying it this way might make it easier for these people to understand.

"Correct!"

I don't know when old man Tang Lizheng stopped studying math problems, but he suddenly jumped out and said this, which scared everyone.

But Tang Lizheng didn't feel that his action was abrupt at all. He thought to himself: "Look at Shen Zhiqiu's mother. She is so sensible. No wonder she gave birth to a son like Shen Zhiqiu.

If there were more ladies like this in the clan, it would be hard not to prosper!"
