The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Seeing that everyone liked Anger, Zhou Dajiang felt relieved and said to Anger, "Your grandmother has two older brothers, a younger sister, and two younger brothers. When the time comes, let your sister take you to play with them. You will definitely like it."

Children all like to play with other children. When Ang'er heard that he had friends to play with, he became even happier and wished tomorrow could come immediately.

Seeing that the adults had started to work, Zhou Sisi took her brother to her room.

Zhou Dajiang saw his daughter take An Ge'er away, then he remembered Zhou Dahai and said to his eldest brother, "Brother, I ordered a hundred sets of peelers and graters today. The parts will probably take three days. If you help me in three days, we can assemble them together. I'll give you ten cents for each set. How about that?"

Zhou Dahai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then we must do it!"

One set costs ten cents, and one hundred sets is one tael of silver. You can earn one tael of silver in two days. Only a fool would give up!

In the evening, Zhou Dajiang finished recording the number of cold noodle orders for the next day and settled the accounts for the day before heading to Tian Youcai's house. He had to order another hundred sets of handles, so Zhou Sisi's desk would probably be delayed for a few more days.

Tian Youcai now looked at Zhou Dajiang as if he were the God of Wealth. Every time he came, he brought work, and each time it was more than the last. This time, when he heard that he needed 100 sets in three days, he agreed without hesitation and said he would do it if he gritted his teeth.

Zhou Dahe wasn't so happy. He was petrified when he heard the news. So many! And in such a short time, how could he survive?

He had to forge curved blades and work on sheet metal. While a large sheet could be cut into many small pieces, the sheer volume of orders was too much! And he only had three days. Master Qu still had over four hundred nails to hammer, so he definitely wouldn't be helping. He had to do it all on his own. He figured he'd have to stay in the blacksmith shop for the next three days.

Mother Zhou glanced at her youngest son. "He's a complete loser! I gave him a business that could make money, but he still wouldn't want to. If it were me, I'd do it even if it meant I had to bow my head to the ground! He doesn't even know how to make money. Why did I give birth to such idiots?"

Feeling the contempt and threat from his mother, Zhou Dahe did not dare to complain anymore. He hurriedly asked his wife to go home and help him pack his bedding. He planned to live in the blacksmith shop for the next three days. No, he had to stay. Didn't you see the look in my mother's eyes? She was about to kick him out!

Zhou Dahe looks like he doesn't want to work, is unwilling to work, is forced to work, and looks pitiful.JPG

After finishing his work, Zhou Dajiang began to worry about his two children. He had no other choice. Everyone else was busy, and he was the only one who had some free time. If he didn't take care of them, who would? And then there were the children from his eldest brother's family and the third brother's family. It wasn't a good idea to have them running around the mountains all day, or to keep them confined at home.

Zhou Dajiang asked Zhou Dahe to go back to the old house and call the other five children over. He planned to open a small class to teach the children a few words and arithmetic every day.

He planned to teach the younger children, like Lotus, Dabao, Erbao and Ang'er, three to five words a day; and to teach the older children, Tietou and Suotou, ten to twenty words a day, and let the older ones teach the younger ones after they learned them.

It’s better to start with the most basic arithmetic. In addition, I have to arrange a separate rocket class for my wife and daughter, mainly to teach them literacy.

He doesn't have time every day, so he brings the two of them out. When he doesn't have time, his daughter and daughter-in-law can take over.

Zhou Dajiang shared his idea of ​​starting a class with the children and adults, and received unanimous approval from his family.

Mother Zhou waved her hand and said, "Move the long table from the old house here tomorrow and use it first. Your table is too small and the children can't sit on it. Also, Dahai, when you have nothing to do during the day, go to the mountains and chop down a few trees. Then carve out a long table and some benches."

From now on, no matter if you are a child or an adult, as long as it is class time, anyone who has nothing to do should come and listen. We still need to learn more words. I will learn with everyone, especially counting rods. Everyone should learn from Xiuying!"

When Chen Xiuying heard this, she thought, well, she had the job to do now, and since her mother-in-law had asked for it, she had no choice but to agree.

However, she suggested that we learn less every day at first to have an adaptation period. In addition, we have to be busy with the cold noodles during this period. After the weather gets cooler, we can learn more every day.

Everyone agreed with her suggestion, that is, just learn a little bit every day.

So, the next morning, after Zhou Dajiang finished making the cold noodles and had breakfast, he gathered the children at home, did a set of the eighth set of People's Broadcasting Gymnastics to warm up, and then led the children to start learning from the Three Character Classic.

The children varied in age and learning speed, but he didn't rush them. He had the younger children memorize four sentences and learn three characters a day, while the older ones had to memorize eight sentences and learn twelve characters a day. When there was no blackboard, he would write large characters on paper and have the children trace them with sticks in the sandbox.

The class only taught two hours a day: one hour on Chinese characters and one hour on arithmetic. In the afternoon, the students were given some homework and allowed to do whatever they wanted.

After Tietou and Suotou finished their homework, they continued to go up the mountain to collect firewood. The children who stayed at home gathered around Zhou Sisi and watched her draw. Yes, Zhou Sisi has also started to get busy with her own little business!

She had a different class schedule than everyone else. Zhou Dajiang taught her and her mother in the evenings, and they learned 50 characters a day. In the mornings, while everyone else was in class, she would review the 50 characters she had learned the previous night, and then begin to conceive a painting. She planned to put the story of "Calabash Brothers" she had told her younger siblings on paper.

Seeing the little ones gathered around her, she followed her father's example and started by drawing some simple sketches of small animals so that they wouldn't be disturbed. Then she let her brothers and sisters practice on their own in the sandbox. This way, everyone had something to do and she could continue to draw her own picture with peace of mind.

Seeing that their children have started to study, Zhang and Li have become more motivated to work. They have to save more money for their children's education!

Especially Li, her little ones are no longer naughty under the influence of her second uncle and Sisi. They can tell her about the new knowledge they have learned every day. She feels so satisfied.

In this atmosphere, Ang'er gradually integrated into this big family. He no longer worried and was afraid every day, and he smiled more often.

He has friends to study, draw, and play with every day, which makes him happier than at home. He also secretly learns more characters from his aunt and sister at night. Although he doesn't learn as many as his sister, he's still very impressive! During the day, he can act as a teacher to Sister Lotus and Brothers Dabao and Erbao!

Chen Xiuying was very pleased to see his changes. Her husband was doing a great job running the class. It was really great! She could finally get rid of her illiteracy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the third day. Zhou Dahe came back with a scruffy beard and carrying a lot of things.
