Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Chapter 60: Passerby in Ancient Marriage Exchange Stories 5

Jiang Yue put away the cloth and needle and thread handed over by Chen, and began to teach his mother Chen with the coarse cloth. Two hours passed and Chen didn't understand anything at all. Jiang Yue spoke until his mouth was dry and Chen was a little embarrassed. This teaching can be regarded as a Waterloo in Jiang Yue's educational career.

"Well... Mom is going to cook. You can teach me when you have time another day." Perhaps Chen couldn't stand the silent atmosphere anymore, so she found an excuse and slipped out.

After leaving the house, Chen breathed a sigh of relief. When her daughter was teaching her just now, she thought of her mother. But fortunately, it was her daughter. If it was her mother, she would have been scolded a long time ago. Forget it. She is not that kind of material. She couldn't learn it when she was young, let alone now at such an old age.

Jiang Yue in the room also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this industry also relied on talent. She should not make things difficult for Chen in the future. She just needed to work hard to do two more jobs.

After a while, Chen prepared the meal. While eating, they both tacitly did not mention what happened in the morning. After the meal, Jiang Yue rested for a while and then started embroidering again. She stopped only after Chen took her brother back in the afternoon.

As soon as Jiang Ze got home, he took out his pen and ink and started practicing calligraphy. At this stage, he is basically practicing some simple contents such as "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Classic". From the age of 6 to 2, this stage is a learning stage, which is basically the same as modern times. If you can keep up with the progress, you can try it at the age of 0.

Jiang Yue has also been observing Jiang Ze in recent days. Apart from other aspects, at least his memory ability is okay. For example, for the Thousand Character Classic that he learned recently, Jiang Yue watched Jiang Ze recite it once a few days ago and he was able to recite it fluently. Memory ability is the most basic part. If one can't recite a text stutteringly, then he should think of other ways out as soon as possible.

Then his attitude is also worthy of recognition. He practices calligraphy and copying on his own initiative every day when he comes back, and he seems to like going to school very much. With these two points and the teaching materials in Jiang Yue's space, he should have no problem passing the exam to become a scholar, even if he doesn't dare to think about anything else.

Jiang Yue did not disturb her brother's study. She went to the courtyard to help Chen cook. She did not wait for Jiang's father today. After the three of them had dinner, Jiang Ze continued to practice calligraphy. The mother and daughter were busy embroidering purses to make money. When it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yue heard the sound of a bell: "Mom, my father is back. I heard the sound."

Jiang Yue got up and put on her clothes and shoes. Chen, who was standing next to her, dressed even faster than Jiang Yue. She walked outside the yard and saw Jiang's father coming back with the ox cart. When they got to the door, Jiang's father jumped off the ox cart and asked, "Why did you come out?"

"Daya said she heard the sound of cowbells, so she came out to take a look."

After Chen finished speaking, she walked over and took Jiang's father's hand to take a look. He was not missing any limbs and was not injured. Then she opened the door and asked Jiang's father to drive the car into the yard. After parking the car, she added grass and water to the cow before Jiang's father went into the house to eat.

After entering the house, he washed and changed his clothes. While eating, he talked about what happened today. Everyone in the family was busy with the autumn harvest and had no time to come over. They were happy for him when they learned that Jiang's father had bought a house. Jiang's father also discussed with Jiang Yue's uncle and second uncle to cut some grass after the autumn harvest to feed the cows in the winter, and to lend the cows to them for free when they were farming.

He also said that today's income was almost the same as the income of the previous ten days. The main reason was that everyone had no time to go out to buy things during the autumn harvest. It happened that Jiang's father went there in time, so everyone didn't have to go out. "I can make some quick money during this period. I will go out early tomorrow and go to one more place."

After that, he asked Chen to prepare more dry food and water for him tomorrow morning. Chen also told him about selling the purse today. Jiang's father was also quite surprised that Jiang Yue was so much stronger than Chen now.

"Although it's expensive now, you still need to take a rest. Many embroiderers have damaged their eyes. You are still young, so you should pay more attention." After giving Jiang Yue instructions, Father Jiang looked at Chen and said, "She is a child and doesn't understand. Remember to keep an eye on her."

He felt relieved after seeing that Jiang Yue and Chen both understood. After that, he took out the wine he bought and carefully poured out a glass. This wine was bought during the Chinese New Year. He had been drinking a small jar of it for more than half a year. He usually didn't want to drink it and would only drink a small glass when he was particularly happy.

After taking a sip, he suddenly remembered something: "I remember if there are any extra buckets at home. It was hot this afternoon and there is no water on that road. The cows are very thirsty. We need to bring a wooden bucket. If we are going on a road without water, we need to prepare a bucket of water in advance for the cows to drink on the way."

Chen thought about it and realized that there was one, but it had been used to store miscellaneous items for a long time: "Yes, there is one. I saw it a few days ago, but there were all kinds of things in it. I don't know if it leaks."

"You eat first, I'll go look for it." After saying that, Chen went to look for it. After finding it, Chen fetched a bucket of water and washed it. After that, she poured another bucket of water into it, ready to see if it leaked.

When Jiang's father finished his meal, Jiang Yue was also very sleepy, so he quickly asked her to go back to her room to sleep. Jiang Yue was here to accompany Chen today, otherwise she would have gone to bed long ago. Chen was obviously a little uneasy at night, and she looked at the door from time to time. With Jiang Yue's company and someone to talk to, she didn't have to worry alone.

Jiang Yue's life then settled down. Her younger brother went to school every day. Jiang Yue and Chen embroidered purse handkerchiefs every day. Jiang's father went out early and came back late every day to earn money to support the family. Time flew by... and just like that, a few years passed.

Jiang Yue is already a 15-year-old girl. In recent years, Jiang Yue's biggest worry is finding a marriage partner. Her skills have improved over the years, and Jiang Yue has become famous in the area. She is beautiful and can make money. Matchmakers come one after another. In the past two years, Jiang Yue could fool people by saying that she was still young and did not want to leave home. This year, Chen no longer believed her excuse and was determined to find someone suitable for her.

"Mom, I'm still young! Let's talk about it in a few years!"

After saying that, Jiang Yue ran back into the house and closed the door. Outside the door, Chen clattered and knocked on the door: "How old are you? When I was your age, I married your father. In a few years, I will be an old maid. Now people say that I don't let you get married and earn money for the family. In a few years, your father and I will be criticized. Hurry up and open the door for me."

Jiang Yue lay on the bed and covered her head with the quilt, sighing. A few years ago, Jiang Yue felt that the worst thing about ancient times was the poor food. Now, Jiang Yue felt that there was nothing worse than this urging for marriage. Jiang Yue had no plans to get married during the mission: "8888, do you have any ideas?"

"Host, this 8888 can't help you. I don't care whether the mission is completed or not, let alone whether you can get married or not."

"Mom, my sister doesn't want to get married now, so let's wait a few years. It's not like she can't get married!"

The person who spoke was a young man, wearing a blue shirt, with handsome features, a pair of clever eyes under two curved eyebrows, and a book box on his back. It was Jiang Ze who had just returned from school.

She got up from the bed, opened the door and said to Chen: "Mother, you see my brother has already said that there is no rush for this matter. Let's talk about it in a few years."

Chen looked at Jiang Yue and shook her head helplessly: "You two have great ideas. I'll tell you when your father comes back."
