The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

"Yes! This morning, she saw Mingshu reading and for the first time ever, she pestered me to teach her how to read. I got tired of her pestering and taught her. Really, why did you hit me on the head again? You hit me every day and I've become stupid."

The more Shen Laosan spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, pretending not to notice the shock in Old Man Shen's eyes.

He understood his daughter's thoughts. Their family has always practiced an open-ended education and did not discipline their children much. Their children were also very hardworking and were praised by others.

Unlike some parents, they are not always in control of their children's lives, letting them live and study according to their own ideas and restricting their children's growth.

The most important thing is that both children are very self-disciplined and they don’t need to be managed at all.

In Shen Laosan's heart, whatever his daughter does is right, and all he has to do is cooperate with her.

After hearing what Shen Lao San said, Old Man Shen widened his eyes and asked Shen Mingzhu in disbelief:

"Zhuzhu, is what your father said true? Did he really teach you to read this morning?"

Shen Mingzhu saw the light in the old man's eyes and his hands shaking with excitement. She sighed in her heart that all parents want their children to study well!

"Really? Why are you asking that, Grandpa?" She pretended not to understand, making the old man even more unconvinced.

The old man picked up the "Three Character Classic" with trembling hands and asked Shen Mingzhu to read it to him. Shen Mingzhu took the book and read it word by word.

Her voice was clear and loud. She paused from time to time and looked thoughtful. She looked unfamiliar, but it made Old Man Shen very happy.

Old man Shen stood up excitedly, slapped the stone table and said excitedly: "Great joy, great joy! We actually have a child prodigy in our family!"

It’s a pity that it’s a girl. It would be great if it was a boy!

Old Man Shen calmed down and asked Shen Mingzhu, "How did you do it?"

Shen Mingzhu blinked and pointed at the annotation in the book and said, "I did it through this, Grandpa, look, this pinyin..."

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

Old man Shen's lips were trembling with excitement. He had lived for most of his life, and this was the first time he had seen such a quick method of learning characters. It was like opening the door to a new world for him.

"How did you come up with the idea?"

"Well, I went to the mountains once and saw an old man with a white beard pointing at strange pictures on the ground and muttering something. Out of curiosity, I went up to ask him, and he taught me these pinyin. When my father was teaching me to read today, I was thinking, it would be great if I could use these pinyin in learning to read."

“I didn’t expect it to work, and it’s so useful.”

Looking at Old Man Shen's expectant eyes, Shen Mingzhu continued:

"I tried to write down the pinyin in the book and asked my father if I read it correctly. He said I read it correctly. But grandpa, I can only read but not write, and I can't recognize all the characters."

"This is a very good method! It is very good!"

Looking at his granddaughter's smiling face filled with an expression of "Praise me! Praise me!", Old Man Shen looked at his granddaughter for the first time.

He gently stroked Shen Mingzhu's head, stroked his beard, and said with a smile:

"Girl, you are very smart. This method of learning to read is very good. Did the old man with white beard say that this pinyin cannot be spread to others?"

Shen Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa didn't say that it couldn't be passed on to others. I asked him if I could teach these pinyin to my brother, and he said yes. He also said that since I had learned it, it was my own stuff and I could teach it to anyone."

Old Man Shen was overjoyed and asked excitedly: "Then do you know his name?"

Shen Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa said that the name is just a code name and is not worth mentioning. But, Grandpa, I will silently call him Grandpa Wuming."

Old Man Shen pondered for a moment and sighed, "Maybe he is some Taoist hermit. He doesn't tell you his name, and he doesn't stop you from spreading the pinyin. He must be a true savior!"

Seeing Shen Mingzhu's curious look, Old Man Shen explained:

"Taoism emphasizes following one's own will. There are many Taoist masters who retreat from the world during prosperous times, or travel around the mountains and rivers to save people during troubled times. The person you met is very likely a hermit who travels around the mountains and rivers."

Shen Mingzhu pretended to think and said, "Well, it's very likely. Grandpa Wuming was wearing a long robe, which was a little different from the scholar's robes you wore. Oh, and he was holding something like a broom in his hand."

Old man Shen smiled, "That's it, Senior Wuming must be a Taoist master. The robes worn by Taoists are different from the scholar robes we wear. What he holds in his hand is not a broom, but a whisk. Girl! You are so lucky!"

Old Man Shen was somewhat envious of Shen Mingzhu's good luck, but Shen Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She didn't expect it to be so easy to pass. Grandpa had already found the source for the pinyin, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

At this moment, she was secretly happy that she had traveled through time and space and became an 8-year-old child. No one would have thought that an 8-year-old kid would lie.

Besides, Pinyin could not be created by an 8-year-old kid, so no one would doubt her.

Old man Shen asked Shen Mingzhu kindly, "Mingzhu, can you teach grandpa pinyin?"

"Sure!" Shen Mingzhu nodded without hesitation and began to teach Old Man Shen pinyin. Shen Mingzhu's clear voice could be heard from the yard from time to time.

"Grandpa, you read it wrong, this is pronounced as ai..."

"Little brat" Old Man Shen smiled dotingly and continued studying.

Old Third Shen watched the interaction between the grandfather and granddaughter and gave his daughter a thumbs up in his heart.

Mingzhu is a very clever little girl. She can get along well with anyone. She is worthy of being Shen Ruhai's daughter, haha.

Shen Mingshu, who was sitting by the window reading a book, looked at the old man who was still learning pinyin at such an old age. He admired the old man's spirit of learning until old age, and he also praised the great love in the old man's heart.

He knew that the old man learned pinyin in order to teach those enlightened children, and that such great love was very rare in a society obsessed with money and greed.

There were no classes in the village school today, and the old man was at home on his day off. He spent the whole morning learning pinyin with Shen Mingzhu.

After the old man left with a reluctant look on his face, Shen Mingzhu sighed, "The old man is old after all. He only learned five pinyin letters in the whole morning."

"Dog, when will I be able to afford the photographic memory potion?"

"Host, you can buy two bottles of memory-enhancing liquid medicine first. The price of the memory-enhancing liquid medicine is not 1999, not 899, but only 9 taels and 9 silver coins per bottle. Drinking it can enhance your memory. Once your memory is enhanced, you can..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Gouzi, are you selling dog-skin plasters? You're even advertising it. 9 taels of silver! Think about it, I only have 9 taels of silver right now, which is not enough to buy two bottles. Besides, is this medicine effective? If I spend all my money on the medicine, I'll be left with nothing!"

"No, host, you have three scholars in your family now, so improving memory is an urgent matter. Although this potion is not as good as the photographic memory potion, it can also improve memory!"

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was unmoved, the system continued to sell: "Host, think about it! Improve the memory of your grandfather, your father, and your brother, so that they can pass the imperial examination earlier. Then you can improve your class sooner. This is a business that can only make money and not lose money."

"Isn't it just 17 taels of silver? You can earn more. With this system, are you still worried about not being able to make money?"

Shen Mingzhu thought about it and felt that what the system said made sense. Earning 17 taels of silver might be difficult for people here, but for her, who had traveled through time and space to the modern era and had an exchange system, it was still very easy.

At worst, if I run out of money, I can just sell the two big Ganoderma lucidum in the storage space.

Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth and made a secret decision in her heart, but acted as if she was not going to buy it.

The system was a little discouraged and continued: "Host, don't want 1999, don't want it."

"Okay, okay, 17 taels of silver for three bottles. Do you want to sell them? If not, get out of here and don't bother me anymore."

System: “Uh, okay!”
