After farming, I opened a family tree
Chapter 25: Reading and Writing
Shen Laoer's family ate dinner while smelling the aroma of the eldest wife's family's mutton soup.
"Behave yourself during this period. The New Year is coming soon. Then you can show your respect to your elder brother and the others."
Shen Dahe swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and spoke to Wang.
"Big brother has always been good to me and the children."
Wang immediately understood, nodded, and turned to instruct the children.
Shen Wen found this meal extremely painful.
Before the family split up, it was Liu who cooked. Although the ingredients were limited, the meals she cooked were still quite delicious.
Now that Wang is cooking, she can only barely cook the food.
Coupled with the smell of meat from next door, it was even harder to swallow.
Suddenly at this moment I felt like going back to the academy.
Yes! We must return to the academy early.

"Dad, is there anyone in our village or the surrounding villages who can build a house? I want to build a few brick houses and set up a workshop to make soap."
Since we are going to set up a workshop, the factory building needs to be built better.
When Shen Dashan heard that his daughter was building a brick house, he was stunned.
He had only seen the brick house in the neighboring Lijia Village, where the landlord Li lived.
It's really magnificent.
But all of this has to be built with silver.
As if considering what Shen Dashan was thinking, Shen Tang took out two silver bills from his arms.
"Here's two hundred taels. Find someone reliable and trustworthy to build it. It doesn't matter if the wages are high, but there's one thing: the house must be built well."
Shen Tang stuffed the banknote into Shen Dashan's hand.
Shen Dashan just felt his hands were getting hot.
This is two hundred taels, and he has never seen a silver note in his life!
"Please take some time tomorrow to ask the village head if you can sell us that piece of land at the east back of the village. I want to build a workshop there."
Shen Tang discussed the plan with Shen Dashan and his wife in an orderly manner.
"My daughter, what can I do?"
Liu looked at her daughter and felt that Shen Tang was good in every way.
Not only is she beautiful, she is also smart and can make money!
"Then please help me cook for us! We will have to improve our food standards from now on!"
Liu nodded hurriedly.
Being a chef is no small matter!
At night, Shen Dashan lay in bed, tossing and turning.
He touched the banknotes under the pillow again and again.
When I woke up the next day, there were still some obvious dark circles under my eyes.
After breakfast, he went straight to the butcher's house, cut a piece of good meat, and then went straight to the headman's house.
Aunt Guihua and her family appeared in the yard just as Shen Tang and his friends put down their bowls and chopsticks.
All the dishes and chopsticks in Liu's hands were snatched away by Aunt Guihua.
After a while, Aunt Guihua walked up to Shen Tang.
"My niece, these two girls went back and said you bought them some clothes. They're way too expensive!"
When Aunt Guihua went back home last night and Shen Li and Shen Dan took out the dresses, she thought they were too luxurious as soon as she saw the black material.
"We've only been doing this for a short time, so we shouldn't be burdened with such heavy things. You can deduct the money for these clothes from your monthly salary."
Shen Tang looked at Aunt Guihua with an uneasy look on her face, and pulled the two sisters over with a smile.
"My two sisters do such good work, and my aunt also helps my mother with some housework. It's our family that's taking advantage of you."
"It's almost the end of the year, and my two sisters are grown-up girls now. It's time to wear bright clothes!"
"Consider this my early year-end bonus!"
The two sisters each hugged one of Shen Tang's arms.
"Sister Tang, thank you so much."
Shen Li's ears turned red and she spoke in a low voice.
Aunt Guihua pressed the corners of her red eyes.
These two daughters followed the right person, Shen Tang.
Even if she had saved up money, she would not be willing to buy such nice clothes.
She had forgotten how long it had been since her daughters had new clothes.
I have been mending things over the years, and now I am more skillful and energetic at work.
"Sisters, are you interested in studying with me?"
Study, these two words exploded in the ears of Shen Li and Shen Dan.
The two sisters immediately shook their heads.
As for education, there are still many families in the village who cannot afford to send their children to school.
Moreover, they are girls and there is no need for them to study.
There was a reason why Shen Tang asked this question.
Because she always had to find a reason for herself to learn to read in the future.
There was a school in the next village. There was a scholar who had taken the exam for many years but failed to pass.
As I get older, I have lost the desire to take exams.
So I went to the village to educate the children nearby.
Shen Tang wanted to go there because she had heard about it from the aunties in the village.
It is said that this person has only one child, but he is in poor health.
Therefore, in the past, Shu Xiu did not accept gifts, only cash.
Shen Tang took the two sisters with her because she liked both of them in terms of their personalities and personalities.
I am an honest and decent person, so I want to bring them along so that the three girls won't look out of place.
If the workshop business grows in the future, there must be someone around who can read and write.
She may not trust others, but she feels safer with people she has trained herself than recruiting people with unknown backgrounds.
"As you can see, our soaps are in short supply."
"I want you to learn to read and write, so that when the business grows, you can be my right-hand men!"
"Didn't you say you'd always follow me? If you don't learn to read and write, I'll find someone who can, and you'll be outdone."
Shen Tang looked at the two sisters with innocent eyes.
"I'm going! I'm going!"
"I go!"
The two sisters spoke at the same time.
What, Sister Tang wants to find someone else and surpass them both?
That bag won’t do!
Isn’t it just studying!
Humph, could it be harder than their previous life?
So, after Shen Tang told this matter to Aunt Liu and Aunt Guihua.
Liu was silent for a rare moment.
After a long time, he slowly nodded.
"We two won't go, right?"
Aunt Guihua is either worried about her daughter's studies or thinks that studying is too expensive.
He bought me some clothes yesterday and today he said he would take them to school.
Studying, studying is good. When her husband was around, he also said that studying is good.
Otherwise, why would so many families send their boys to school?
"Don't be too happy too soon. You don't know whether Master Li will accept it or not."
It’s not that Liu didn’t want Shen Tang to go, but the school was full of boys, and if a girl went there, there would definitely be rumors.
If you don't accept her, it must be because she doesn't give enough!
"Mom, don't worry, I can not only study, but I can study better than those boys!"
In her previous life, she had studied for more than ten years and was admitted to a key university!
"Okay, okay, you're the smartest!"
Liu smiled and nodded Shen Tang's head.
But my daughter is so smart, she might actually study better than those boys.
"It just so happens that the school is on vacation. I'll go to Master Li's house this afternoon to ask if he accepts female students!"
"Thank you, Mom. You're the best!"
Outside the courtyard gate, Shen Wen put down his hand that was about to knock on the door.
He took a deep look at the crack in the door, turned around and left without saying a word.
