Chapter 324 324 Apprenticeship
Zhou Jia saw several girls standing straight, with bright eyes and an irrepressible smile on their faces, and looked at Li Yu, "How many children are going to school?"
Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Yeah! They are now learning needlework with Aunt Xue and Sister Lin. I want them to recognize a few words and learn some arithmetic, so that they can be looked at when they are released, alas!" Yu said and sighed again, "Some girls have been taught needlework, but it is too difficult for those boys to learn a craft. Ruyi has asked several craftsmen, but they are reluctant to come to Zhuangzi to teach them. child."
Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's troubled appearance, and then looked at the children in the classroom who had changed. Thinking about the appearance of those children when they first arrived, he sighed, "You are the only one who treats these children with such sincerity. Because they are so thoughtful, you don't have to worry about those craftsmen who don't want to teach their craftsmanship. They study calligraphy and arithmetic from the master, and then teach them some bookkeeping methods. After learning, it is much better to go out to be a bookkeeper than to do craftsmanship. ."
Li Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Yeah! Why didn't I think of this, it's better to use your brain."
Zhou Jia smiled proudly, "Of course, don't look at my husband."
Li Yu looked at him and rolled his eyes, "If you say you're fat, you're still panting."
Aunt Xue, who was standing by the side, whispered to Mrs. Yun, "Master and Madam are a match made in heaven!"
Mrs. Yun smiled and nodded, "Yes! Husbands and wives like Madam and Master are the fate that came from a previous life!"
Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu in the classroom finished ordering the cinnabar moles for the children. When the two saw Zhou Jia coming back, they hurriedly walked out of the classroom to greet Zhou Jia, "The students meet the adults."
"The two gentlemen don't need to present," Zhou Jia smiled and helped them up, "Mrs. Lu and Mr. Liu come with me, let's celebrate."
Liu Hanmin met Zhou Jia for the first time and saw that he was easy-going and amiable. He bowed with Mr. Lu a little excitedly and said, "Yes, my lord."
Zhou Jia took the two away, and the children came out of the classroom and pointed to the cinnabar mole on their foreheads to show Li Yu and Aunt Xue, "Madam, Aunt Xue, look at what the teacher ordered for us, the teacher said it was for We Kaizhi's cinnabar mole."
Li Yu said to them with a smile: "You must study hard what Mr. Kai taught you, go back to dinner now, and come to the classroom on time tomorrow morning."
"Yes, ma'am." After the children responded in unison, they followed Aunt Xue and the others back to the sitting room for dinner.
Yangyang ran in front of Li Yu and pointed to the cinnabar mole on his forehead, "Mother, you see I ordered it again, so I've been taught twice?"
Li Yu looked at the cinnabar mole on Yangyang's forehead, led him back, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu ordered your apprenticeship last time. It's not that I have worshipped a teacher twice."
"Oh!" Yang Yang looked up at Li Yu and smiled smugly, "Mother, sir also said that Brother Qijin and I are Brother Shuisheng and their senior brothers!"
Li Yu laughed when he looked at him smugly, "Okay, when you become a senior brother, you must set a good example for your junior and junior brothers. When I call you to practice and go to school in the morning, you can't stay in bed any longer."
Yangyang lowered his head and tangled for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I won't stay in bed anymore."
After hearing Qijin from the front, he looked back at Yangyang shaving his face with his fingers and smiled, "Master, you just stayed in bed last morning."
"Brother Qijin, you're so bad, you also stayed in bed last time," Yangyang ran forward and grabbed Qijin's shy-faced fingers, "Look at me and I won't stay in bed tomorrow."
Qijin held Yangyang's hand, "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow morning, you can't just talk."
"Yeah!" Yangyang nodded heavily, and the two ran together holding hands.
Xiaoyu looked at the backs of the two and smiled and turned to look at Li Yu, "Madam, the young master is almost four years old, why don't you give him a brother or sister?"
After hearing this, Li Yu thought that he didn't have contraception after giving birth to Yangyang. I don't know why I haven't gotten pregnant again in the past few years. Maybe it's because fate hasn't arrived yet! Thinking of this, Li Yu smiled at Xiaoyu, "Just follow the fate!"
Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, "Yeah! My father always said that children were born by fate in previous lives, some came to collect debts, some came to pay off debts, and my mother often said that we are debt collectors." Xiaoyu touched her stomach, her face full of Said melancholy: "I've never seen my two elders and my uncle even after seven jins, and I don't know what happened to my father and my mother?"
Li Yu looked at Xiaoyu's melancholy look, and also missed Li Mei and A Qing a little, "They must be fine, we'll go back and see them when we get a chance."
Xiaoyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Li Yu and smiled, "Madam, I'm fine, but I suddenly miss them."
Li Yu shook her hand with a smile, and the two walked away in the second yard.
After Xiaoyu returned to the room, she looked at Xiaoyu worriedly, and asked repeatedly, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you? If the old man has not come back, I will go to the old man first. show you."
Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed him, smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, when I was chatting with my wife just now, I suddenly remembered my parents who were far away in Tongzhou, and I don't know why the tears flowed down by myself, Ruyi, ever since I got pregnant After this child, I feel different from when I was pregnant with seven pounds, I think this child may be a girl."
Ruyi hugged Xiaoyu and sat down at the table, cheerfully, "Good girl, she's cute and considerate, and when she grows up, she will make us shoes and clothes, and drink old wine, unlike the stinky boy Qijin who often runs away without a shadow. , don't worry about your parents-in-law and the others, when the child is born and grows stronger, we will go back to see them when we have time."
Xiaoyu listened to Ruyi's words, and smiled happily, "Well! Let's eat quickly! Did Qijin go to the main courtyard with the young master to eat again?"
Ruyi scooped up a bowl of mung bean porridge and put it in front of Xiaoyu, "The stinky boy hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, took an egg cake and hurried away, saying that he had made an appointment with the young master to go to the sun. Play with Shuisheng and the others to catch robbers."
"This stinky boy," Xiaoyu smiled as he picked up the bowl, "I don't care about him, are you afraid that he won't get enough to eat when you go to the main courtyard?"
Ruyi also laughed after hearing this, "That's true."
After Zhou Jia, Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu had eaten and drank, they took the two to the study and said to them: "These children in Zhuangzi will be released when they reach a certain age to start a family and start a business. You teach them literacy and arithmetic. Boys can teach some bookkeeping skills, and after going out of here as adults, they will have the ability to settle down and support their families.”
Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu stood up and saluted Zhou Jia: "Your Excellency is righteous, these lonely old people and children on Zhuangzi are blessed."
