A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on

The next day, when he saw Bai Canxing, Gu Can knew that her memory had fully awakened. However, it was not very important. Their mission was to ensure that she was alive, avoid being killed by the plot, and help Tiandao weaken the power of the plot.

They had already discussed it and decided to live their lives honestly, waiting for Bai Canxing to bring earth-shaking changes to the village. They just needed to make sure she survived the plot and didn't need to put too much effort into it. It would be bad to always be fighting and killing.

Although Gu Can's family had changed a lot, it was only to change their lazy habits and slowly get their lives back to normal. Their living habits and thinking patterns were the same as those of the villagers. Bai Canxing was sure that it was really a sudden enlightenment after almost starving to death. He let the matter go.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, Bai Canxing was six years old.

After three years of development, not only did everyone in Gujia Village grow sweet potatoes, but so did the nearby villages of Taohua, Hanjia, Dawang, and Xiaowang. You have to remember that in those days, the neighboring villages were all intermarried, and no one's secrets could be kept secret. Especially when it came to something as important as high grain yields. Even if you were to marry, you couldn't just watch your own parents go hungry.

Bai Canxing finally earned herself a hefty sum of twenty taels (approximately $200) for a three-dimensional embroidery. I can't say it was particularly fine, just average, but novel. The Bai family hadn't split up yet, so the money should have been kept in the communal treasury, but Grandfather had said he wanted to save it for her dowry.

How could that be possible? She had long dreamed of building a beautiful farmhouse, so she had to save money to build a house first. To do this, she decided to embroider better and work hard to make a fortune with her own little hands!

"Chanxing, Chanxing?"

"Sister Yunxiu, what's wrong?" Zheng Yunxiu, the seven-year-old daughter of Zheng Xiucai, was Bai Canxing's childhood friend. Over the past few years, thanks to Zheng Yunxiu, she had overcome her illiteracy. While she couldn't quite read history books, she was no longer illiterate. She even taught online classes in traditional Chinese characters, a language of the time.

"It's you. You were so inattentive in learning to read today. I begged my daddy for a long time before I learned it." Zheng Yunxiu saw her in a daze, pouting her little mouth, and trying hard to be like a serious little teacher.

"No, no, I just suddenly remembered that I went to town with my mother a few days ago and heard what the students in the bookstore said." Bai Canxing thought it was cute, but after all, she was in the wrong first, so she didn't dare to laugh and hurried to explain.

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Yunxiu was no longer angry and looked at her curiously.

"Those students said that there are books specifically about farming, books about carpentry, recipes for cooking, and books on how to slaughter pigs and cows. But they also said that people of low status cannot read, and farmers, carpenters, chefs, and butchers belong to the low status class. So who are those books written for?" Bai Canxing said what she 'heard' with an innocent and sincere look on her face.

"Oh, that's right. It's really strange. Why don't we go ask daddy? Daddy will definitely know." Zheng Yunxiu also felt strange, but in her eyes, her father was the most powerful person, so it would definitely be right to ask her father.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiucai shook his head helplessly.

"Daddy doesn't know where you get these weird ideas from, girl. From ancient times to the present, only people have been thinking about reading. All other things are inferior except reading. Who would think about who the book is written for?" Zheng Xiucai had long known that his daughter was being urged by the little girl from the Bai family to learn to read.

But the two of them didn't take the imperial examinations, nor did they tell anyone about it. Moreover, they taught their daughter needlework, so they just turned a blind eye. However, ever since this girl learned to read, she would come up with some strange ideas every few days.

"But they also say that food is the most important thing for people. Does reading mean people won't go hungry?" Bai Canxing smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all. She certainly couldn't argue with the serious principles of the Four Books and Five Classics, but at least she had experienced the influence of 21st century internet culture.

Even if you're not smart, it's okay to just parrot what others say. You don't have any serious ideas, but you have tons of crooked ideas! Some of these crooked ideas actually make sense at first glance. Toxic chicken soup is still chicken soup!

"Tell me, what are your ideas, little girl?" Zheng Xiucai asked with a smile. Zheng Xiucai's real name is Zheng Ziru. He is 28 years old this year. Eight years ago, he and his wife Mu Huiru came to Sanshi Village to settle down. When they came, Zheng Ziru was already a scholar.

The house was built when the Zheng family came. It is a small brick and tile courtyard, but they did not buy any land. Mu Huiru's health has not been very good since she gave birth to Zheng Yunxiu. Zheng Ziru has been copying books, writing letters for others, and writing couplets part-time in recent years. Some people also invited him to be a teacher in the county private school, but he refused in order to take care of his wife and daughter. His life seems to be getting poorer and poorer.

However, Zheng Ziru looks like a gentle and elegant gentleman and scholar. He is well-read but not a sour scholar or pedantic. When he gets along with others, one can really feel the scholar's elegance and gentleness.

"Uncle Xiucai, our family gives you one stone of grain every month. Can you teach my brothers to read? There is no need to provide books and pens. We can use wooden boards to write. We don't need to take imperial examinations. We just want them to learn a few more characters so that they can recognize their own names, read couplets, count numbers, etc. in the future. It won't take you long." Bai Canxing expressed his thoughts honestly.

For ordinary farmers, it is very difficult to change their family fortunes. It often takes many generations of efforts to change. She does not ask her brothers to become academic geniuses immediately, learn to read and write, and then pass the imperial examinations. As long as her brothers' generation can learn to read, they may have the opportunity to find a job in the town, county, or even the provincial capital in the future.

Knowing the benefits of learning, the next generation, and the next generation, as long as each generation changes, will eventually get better. She also believes that as long as education becomes popular in the village, it will slowly affect the surrounding villages. In a few years, she will write storybooks and make up stories to let the naive girls know that they should not pick up strange men! ! ! ! If Sima Mo is not saved, the plot will collapse directly!

"Tomorrow at 9:00 PM, bring your brothers. You can come too, just in time to keep Yunxiu company." Zheng Ziru smiled and agreed. One stone of grain per month was more than enough for their family of three. It didn't take much time, and it was a great way to educate the children and help them learn new things while reviewing what they had learned.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Xiucai. Sister Yunxiu, I'll go back first. We can go to class together tomorrow." Bai Canxing returned happily and wanted to go back immediately to share the good news with his family and call his third cousin and sister Qiuyue back. We share happiness and hardships together!

"Really? That's great. Our Canxing is really a lucky star. Hurry up, boil some water and wash them all clean. I'll give you new clothes tomorrow! Big brother, go to the second brother's house and bring Qiuyue and Rongxiang back." Bai Yuliang was so happy after hearing what Bai Canxing said that he gave instructions one after another.
