Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The snow melts and the ice melts, the earth returns to spring, and the green shoots reappear on the branches.

The salt workers in Gaoyou City woke up early, they came out of their homes or dormitories, and went to the cafeteria in groups to eat. No matter how high the price of Gaoyou is, they can eat two copper coins in the cafeteria. This is the treatment only salt workers have.

After breakfast, they went to work.

Gaoyou was originally rich, but the rich people in Gaoyou were not the salt workers or the common people, but the small bosses and officials, and there was also a big family who colluded with officials and businessmen.

But it is different now. Salt workers can earn money by working hard. Whoever does more will get more.

In the past, being a salt miner was hard work, and people came to be a salt miner only when they could no longer survive. They did the hardest work, took the least money, and worked so hard that they couldn't fill their stomachs.

Who would have thought that in Gaoyou, there were salt people who had starved to death.

The Yanmin who starved to death was Sun Si's father.

Sun Si, as the name suggests, he is the fourth child in the family.

And the only one who survived.

His brothers and sisters either died of illness, or died of freezing and starvation, but he is the only one who has survived till now.

But now that he works alone, he can support his family, his wife, wife and children.

After Nan Bodhisattva came, the life of the people in Gaoyou changed for the better. He married a wife who had already given birth to three children, two sons and one daughter. The workers all said he was blessed.

His mother and daughter-in-law got along well, and every time he went home, he felt that such a day was like a dream.

Sometimes when he thinks about the days before, he feels that it is a matter of the previous life.

The only regret is that his father failed to make it to South Bodhisattva, and now His Majesty came to Gaoyou.

His mother has been raising her for these years, and her body has become much stronger. Now that she has nothing to do, she will pick wild vegetables or wild fruits on the mountain with her former sisters, make side dishes or jams and send them to restaurants, and earn a small amount of money.

Now the family is still inseparable from people, and the daughter-in-law and the old mother share the care of the children.

When Sun Si was working, the worker said: "Sun Si, your eldest child is six years old, right?"

Sun Si put down the thing in his hand, smiled and said, "Yes, he looks strong."

"Then do you send your baby to school?" The questioner hesitated.

Sun Si said strangely: "Naturally, I will give it away. I heard that if I study well, there will be a scholarship! I don't ask him to come back with a champion in the exam, just learn a few words, and I will not be blind like me in the future. "

The worker sighed: "My eldest child is ten years old. In the past, she would have been able to work with me."

He is reluctant to part with this labor force.

It was Sun Si who persuaded him: "Think about it, now you ask your son to work as a salt worker? The superiors will not allow it. You didn't listen to the team leader. In the future, you must be 14 years old before you can work, otherwise you will be considered a child laborer. People have to pay fines."

"Go to school, although you can't work for the family, but if you can learn better, you can get good grades when you graduate, and you are afraid that you won't be able to find a good job? Maybe you can earn more in one month than you can earn in half a year as a salt worker."

Workmates are very tangled.

There are not many people in his family, and the eldest son has finally grown up free of illness and disaster, and is now able to work and earn money.

send to read...

At least three years of study.

It's not like his eldest son can earn money for the family after studying a book.

Sun Si saw that he was still unable to make up his mind, and said: "In the future, after studying and reading, your eldest son is still blind. Now that there are few female children, you are not afraid that he will not be able to marry a wife. The root of your family?"

Only then did the worker widen his eyes and said, "Then I still have to send him to a government school."

On the first day of the school's opening, Sun Si took his eldest son to report, and the entrance of the school was already overcrowded.

Because there are new textbooks this year, I heard that this year I will start learning simplified characters.

Common people don't know what simplified characters are, they only hear that simplified characters are easier to learn and understand.

Those who have learned in the previous classes are still the old characters, but the simplified characters are from the same origin as the previous characters, so they can be easily recognized.

Sun Si took the eldest son to register first, reported his parents' names, his home address, and his job, and then went to find the eldest son's class.

The teacher told him that there are six grades in total, the primary one, the second primary, the third grade, and the senior, senior, fifth and sixth grades.

Generally, you can graduate after three years of study, and you can go to higher education if your family wishes.

After finishing the sixth year, those who want to take the imperial examination in the future can still go to university.

Sun Si looked at the new school, looked at the beautiful small buildings, and there were many things he had never seen before in the school, and the children could play on them. He thanked the teacher gratefully, and then sent his son into the classroom.

When he left, he told his son: "Be obedient and study hard, and you will be better than your father when you learn it."

Although the eldest son was young, he knew from an early age that he was the eldest son of the family and knew the responsibilities on his shoulders. He said to Sun Si: "I know, Dad, I will definitely study hard."

"I can still teach my brother and sister when I go back."

Sun Si left in a hurry. He took half a day off and wanted to go back to work early.

He can earn two taels of silver a month because he works hard enough and does better than other salt workers.

For these two taels of silver, the family only spends one tael a month for food and clothing, and saves one tael. He plans to save it for two years, and then he will renovate his house. The ground was added.

Children grow up fast, and the young one can't always share a room with him and his wife.

When the new building is built, let them move there.

Since the eldest son went to school, when he came back, he would tell his younger siblings about his school in the government. They don't call it a school, but a school.

"My teacher said that if I study well, I won't charge any textbook fees in the future." Da'er said happily, "The teacher praised me for my good memory yesterday! I was elected class monitor this afternoon, and all the classmates elected me as the monitor!"

The younger brothers and sisters looked at the elder brother with admiration, only feeling that after the elder brother went to school, the whole person changed.

The eldest son also said to Sun Si: "Father, when I graduate, I will earn money to support the family, support you, mother, grandma, brothers and sisters!"

Sun Si laughed at him: "Your father and I are not old yet! I don't need you to support me! Your younger brother and sister will also go to school in the future, maybe they will be more promising than you, and you don't need to support me!"

"When your father, me and your mother can't work anymore, you can take care of it."

The child frowns: "Hey! Then when will you stop working!"

Sun Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Little bastard, who did this speechless mouth follow?"

His daughter-in-law was busy working on the stove and shouted: "It's up to you."

His old mother also joined in the fun: "Your father and you are like this!"

Sun Si couldn’t compete, so he went out to chop firewood by himself. Although it’s cheap and cheap to sell more firewood now, but after living in poverty for a long time, they always feel that they can save a little bit. Only when autumn is coming to an end, they will spend money to buy firewood. carbon.

The charcoal is burned in the house to keep it warm, but the windows must be opened, and the team leader will tell them every year that those who do not open the windows will be suffocated to death.

Chai is burned when cooking.

"It's time to eat!" The daughter-in-law brought the dishes to the main hall, and the whole family sat around the wooden table.

The little baby stretched out his hand to grab the steamed buns, and said happily, "Mother! Why are there steamed buns today!"

This is flour!Life is better now, but white flour is still expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy it if they can afford it.

The daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Your father paid his wages yesterday."

Every time the wages are paid, you can have a good meal the next day. This is the unwritten rule of the Sun family.

When the daughter-in-law brought out another dish, the family's saliva was about to flow down.

"Fat!" The girl couldn't move her eyes away.

Fatty pork is very rare, and the fat meat on the meat stall is the fastest to be robbed.

Chicken, duck and fish are all lean, but people still prefer fatty pork.

The daughter-in-law proudly said: "I went to the market and waited before dawn this morning, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy such good fat meat."

Her craftsmanship is average, but the whole family eats very sweetly.

Sun Si took a bite of the steamed bun, watching his little boy scrambling to eat the fat meat, his eyes were full of smiles.

His grandson did not make his children hungry, nor did he make his women and old mothers hungry.

Although it is not a big achievement, he is already satisfied.

"By the way, a nursery school opened on the street." The daughter-in-law said to Sun Si before going to bed.

Sun Si also knows what a nursery school is. Now in many families, men and women work together to earn money. There is no one to take care of the children, so there is a nursery school.

Before the parents go to work, the children are sent there, and there are women watching, taking care of the meals, and sometimes small snacks.

Parents take their children home after work.

This kind of nursery school is very strict, the gate is closed during the day, and security guards are hired-this is also a new job, and the salary is not low!

Those who are strong and fit are willing to go.

The merchants are very thoughtful, not to mention human traffickers, even a flying insect can hardly fly in.

But it's not cheap either. One child costs one penny a month, and two pennies cost two.

Sun Si turned over and looked at his wife: "Do you want to go to work?"

The daughter-in-law nodded: "Sanya doesn't need to breastfeed anymore. Isn't there a knitting factory over there to recruit people? It's close to home, and I can come back every day. I heard that as long as I can meet the standards, I will get a tael of silver in a month. After I reach the standards, I will do more. They all have a commission, and you can raise [-] yuan for one piece!"

Her eyes were bright: "The first ones are all [-] Wen, this one is [-] Wen."

Sun Si asked strangely: "Why forty essays?"

Daughter-in-law: "What else can I do? I can't recruit anyone."

Sun Si suddenly realized that all men are willing to do hard work, and earn more if they have strength. Few men are willing to work in the knitting factory. Careful.

I heard that there was a rough guy who went to work in a knitting factory, but he tore two balls of thread. He didn't earn any money, and even lost money.

Since then, men who think they are unlucky will not try it, so as not to lose money.

"Then go." Sun Si agreed, "The two of us earn money together, maybe we can get the money for building a house this year!"

The daughter-in-law is also very happy: "Yes, save more, in the future, the two boys will marry a wife, and the girl will need a dowry, money will be needed everywhere!"

Spending money used to be a chore.

Now spending money is not a pain, because you can earn it.

As a result, the next day, the daughter-in-law was going to the knitting factory for an interview, and Mrs. Sun Si also followed.

Then—the daughter-in-law is shameless and clumsy.

The old lady is on the face.
