"What Mu Mu said makes sense. The scholar is nearly fifty years old and is still just a scholar. It shows that he is not very knowledgeable. Don't miss the future of our children."

"Then... in that case, we can't find another gentleman. What will happen if Bai Yuan and Bai Jin study?" Zhang Caiping asked worriedly.

"Let me teach them." Li Mumu was worried that she didn't know how to farm, and everything would be revealed when she got to the ground.

But you can’t do nothing at home, right?

"You?" Zhang Caiping remembered that Li Mumu took the exam yesterday and Gu Baiyuan had indeed studied.

But Li Mumu also said that she was self-taught and taught Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin. Is her level sufficient?

No matter what, he can't be better than a scholar, right?

No matter how talented a scholar is, at least he has actually passed the examination.

Li Mumu said: "Although I am self-taught, I have no problem giving enlightenment to Bai Yuan and Bai Jin. It's just that the handwriting is not very pretty."

She is a modern person and has never seriously learned calligraphy. Besides, traditional Chinese is still used here.

She has no problem reading Traditional Chinese. When it comes to writing, she can follow the same pattern, but it will definitely not look good.

"But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, I will buy a copybook and practice with it." It's not a big problem. "When my husband comes back, I will let him teach me. With my husband's knowledge, I will definitely be able to teach Bai Yuan and Bai Jin."

It was true when everyone thought about it, especially Gu's mother who had great confidence in Gu Shangqing's knowledge.

"Then do as Mu Mu said." Mother Gu made a final decision.

"Oh, it would be great if I could marry Mumu earlier. This way we could save a lot of money for studying." Zhang Caiping clapped her fingers and her heart ached.

But luckily they, Bai Jin, haven't started studying yet, and she hasn't paid out the money yet.

It's just that Wang Cuizhen spent more money than she deserved.

Unexpectedly, Wang Cuizhen said: "Mu Mu, if you teach Bai Yuan and Bai Jin, you will be their teacher. Then what about our Shu Xiu?"

Li Mumu said to her heart that although Wang Cuizhen had a bit of a temper, she was an honest and honest person. She smiled and said, "We are a family and there is no need to worry about these things. Bai Jin is only four years old now, so he may not be able to listen to me if he learns from me." No matter how much you know, you can also follow along and learn first to lay a foundation."

Zhang Caiping was afraid that Wang Cuizhen would talk about giving money. Since she was studying at home, why would she give her money?

Of course, I would save it if I could, so he hurriedly said: "Mumu is right, what do we, a family, do when we are so clearly divided?"

Besides, Li Mumu is not a gentleman, he has no fame, and he is self-taught.

Zhang Caiping always felt like she was at a loss if she had to give money to Li Mumu.

"Mumu, you are only responsible for teaching Bai Yuan and Bai Jin. Leave the usual farming work to me." Zhang Caiping said hurriedly, "You don't have to do anything."

Since Li Mumu doesn't accept any money, she, Zhang Caiping, is not the kind of person who waits for nothing.

Wang Cuizhen also said hurriedly: "That's right, from now on you can concentrate on teaching your children. You don't have to worry about anything at home or outside."

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law." Li Mumu smiled and nodded.

The words of Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping really hit Li Mumu's heart.

At this time, Li Mumu noticed that Gu Xiuxiu was looking over with envy.

Li Mumu waved to Gu Xiuxiu, and Gu Xiuxiu came over with a blushing face, "Third Aunt?"

"Xiuxiu, do you want to learn together?" Li Mumu asked Gu Xiuxiu's hand.

Wang Cuizhen said subconsciously: "She is a girl, what does she do to learn so much?"

"If you read a lot of books, you won't suffer any loss." Li Mumu said to Wang Cuizhen, "Otherwise, how could I compare to that scholar today?"

"Reading can make you understand reason and distinguish right from wrong." Li Mumu touched Gu Xiuxiu's soft hair, "Reading and literacy will not harm anyone."

"Besides, when my husband comes back in the future, whether he becomes a general or continues to take the merit examination, he will always have a great future. His niece can't be illiterate, right?" Li Mumu said with a smile. .

Wang Cuizhen: "..."

Zhang Caiping: "..."

It would be great if Gu Shangqing could come back alive. How about becoming a general?

Li Mumu really dared to think.

"Mumu is right." Gu's mother was very confident in Gu Shangqing, "You see, Mumu's words are different after he has read a book. What's wrong with the girl? She has to go out to study abroad. Our family There is no other way if we can’t support so many people to read together. But now that we have the conditions, let Xiuxiu read together.”

"That's okay." Wang Cuizhen felt that the idea that girls didn't need to study was deeply rooted in their bones. She just felt that there was no need to spend money, so she reluctantly agreed, "But Xiuxiu, you can't delay your work by studying."

"Okay." Gu Xiuxiu nodded seriously.

"Ouch!" Wang Cuizhen suddenly clapped her hands and shouted.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" This voice startled Zhang Caiping.

"I forgot to bring back that package of wild vegetable dumplings! It's a pity to leave it at the scholar's place. It was wasted!" Wang Cuizhen said distressedly, "Although the wild vegetables are not valuable, they are steamed with waste firewood."

Li Mumu smiled and took out the package from her arms, "I got it back."

She unwrapped the package, "But it was a little bit broken by the scholar."

"It doesn't matter." Gu's mother brought it over, "We eat it at home, but we don't have to be so particular about it. If it's a disaster year, it's good if you have a stutter. Let's warm it up on the stove at noon, and we'll eat it."

The wild vegetable dumplings had scattered quite a bit. After thinking about it, Li Mumu simply stirred up the wild vegetable dumplings and said, "Don't heat it up either. It's a waste of firewood. I'll mix it up and eat it as a cold dish." .”

"How to mix this?" Gu's mother was confused.

What they eat on weekdays is steamed steamed buns in a large pot. When the weather is cold, the steamed buns are not easy to spoil, so they no longer heat them and eat them directly with every meal.

Another big pot of food is another meal for the whole family.

"You'll know after you taste it at lunch." Li Mumu went to the kitchen.

Gu Baiyuan and Gu Baijin were playful and would usually go to the back hill of the village.

However, the two of them were young and their family never allowed them to go into the mountains. They only walked around at the foot of the mountains.

The two of them also picked unripe sour plums at the foot of the mountain and came back to play.

Because it was too sour, no one would eat it, and Gu Boyuan and Gu Baijin played with it.

When I got tired of playing with it, I put it in the corner of the stove.

Li Mumu took some plums, washed them and pounded them into juice.

Peel five more garlic cloves, mash them into paste, and mix them into the wild vegetables together with the pickled plum juice.

Today's soy sauce and vinegar are expensive, and the Gu family is reluctant to buy them.

Fortunately, things like onions and garlic are cheap. If you grow some at home, there will be no shortage.

Although the plums are sour, there is still a hint of sweetness in the sourness, even the sugar is omitted.

At noon, Father Gu, Gu Shangyong, and Gu Shangwei came back from the fields. As soon as they entered the house, they smelled the faint fragrance of plums.
