Yan'er looked at her mother-in-law, and then turned back and looked at Qingu cautiously, "Grandma......" Even her voice was thin.

Although she is small, she is also introverted and doesn't like to talk, but both the master and the subordinates in the back house are talking about grandma leaving home.

She heard them say that her grandmother was kicked out by her grandfather, that she was a jealous woman, and that her grandmother was fighting for property with her son for herself......

But her mother went to tell her that her grandmother just wanted to change to a new home and live a more free life.

said that grandma has worked hard all her life, and everything is what grandma deserves.

Hong Huiyan is now more than five years old, but she looks a little pale, her body is thin and weak, and she is also timid when she looks at people, and she is not as tall as Bao'er.

In fact, the difference between Yan'er and Bao'er is less than a year, not long after Yan'er was born, Hong Wenyue married the Jin family and entered the door, and it was only five months after entering the door, and Bao'er was born.

"Eh-" Qin Gu answered with a long voice, and a smile bloomed on his face.

put the little girl Lou into his arms, and gently stroked the child's hair with a withered vine-like hand, "Our Yan'er is five years old this year, right, tell grandma if you want to study?"

Yan'er looked at Qin Gu - in fact, she didn't spend much time with the client before, and every time she saw the client, she had a face, and everyone around her said how vicious this old woman was.

Even Bao'er said that her grandmother was very fierce, and if she couldn't read, she would beat her palms, and she was not allowed to eat sugar cakes...

But in this intimate contact, she found that her grandmother was not as fierce as they said.

He didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Ling.

Ling Shi hurriedly responded: "Mother, Yan'er is still young, and the girl is ...... No, don't ......."

Of course, she wants her daughter to be literate too, but the current conditions don't allow it. In Hong's house, she said that she wanted Yan'er and Bao'er to study together, but she had only been there for two days, and was rejected by Wen Yue for other reasons.

She can't afford to hire a husband herself, and if she answers her mother's words now, won't she just add a burden to her mother?

Qin Gu understood the reaction of the little girl and the Ling family, and made up her mind in her heart that when she settled down, she must ask her husband to teach Yan'er well.

This hour and space is still a little different from the feudal society where men are absolutely superior to women, as long as it is peaceful, women can also set up female households, women can also participate in scientific examinations, and even there are female officials in the palace.

In the previous dynasty, there were several well-known female officials who did a lot of good things for the court and the people.

It's just that the society's positioning of women is to have children, husbands and children, as far as giving birth to children is concerned, the average woman has to give birth to at least four or five children in her life, and giving birth to children and confinement with children will take up the most tenor or twenty years of a woman's energy and physical strength. And giving birth to children and raising children is also a very laborious thing, if it is not well maintained, a woman will basically be very old when she reaches the age of forty. And men can not only use the time for women to give birth to children and raise children to do things, but they are still very energetic at the age of forty.

This is also why most women can only be in the back house in the end, and when they are old, they have to accept their husbands to take concubines, and are willing to manage the back house.

Just when Qin Gu was discussing with Ling's family, the quiet Yan'er suddenly said, "Grandma, if you haven't learned how to read, will you hit Yan'er's palm?"

The two of them looked at her at the same time, what were they talking about just now?

Why did you say you were going to hit her palm?

Ling's was confused, she had never taught her children this, and she didn't let those subordinates teach her children casually, for fear of breaking a blank sheet of paper in that environment. But she can prevent adults, but she can't prevent children.

Yan'er and Bao'er are about the same age, and they have studied together for a few days, and the children often play together.

Ling didn't react, but Qin Gu immediately understood what the little guy meant.

Qin Gu smiled and said, "Yan'er, do you know why some people can be famous in the world and enjoy endless glory and wealth even if they don't have a prominent background? Reading is what really makes you live a good life and can also help the people you want to help. The first step in reading a book is literacy. Many people don't have that opportunity even if they want to be literate, but when such an opportunity is placed in front of you, and you can't read well, then you will be beaten. ”

This truth is not profound and difficult to understand for the children in the current hourly space.

Yan'er looked at Qin Gu steadily, "Grandma, I understand." I...... I will work hard, and I will let my grandmother and mother live a good life in the future!"

Qin Gu hugged the child again, and kissed and kissed the other party's small forehead with great relief.

............

Back to the topic just now, Qin Gu asked Ling's family, she came to send herself, Wen Yue didn't know.

Ling said that she had greeted Wen Yue, saying that she was sending the child to grandma's house to play, and she accompanied the child over.

Wen Yue frowned and said, since this is the case, then you should stay with your mother for a few more days and help your mother settle everything.

In fact, when it does not involve his own interests and does not need to do it himself, he is still very "filial" as a son - let his daughter-in-law do his filial piety to his mother on his behalf.

This grange is called Cuipingzhuang, more than 50 miles away from Lixian County, next to Cuiping Mountain, next to a shallow slope, because there is no river to pass, irrigation is very difficult, so they all rely on the sky to eat.

In addition, the soil is very compact, and there is a lot of gravel mixed in it, so you can only grow some drought-tolerant crops casually, and how much you can harvest depends on the will of God.

Cuipingzhuang hired ten helpers, six strong men, and four middle-aged servants, except for six who lived relatively close to each other and came to work every day. The other four all dragged their families to live in Zhuangzi.

More than 30 acres of inferior land and the surrounding barren and barren mountains are barely enough for these people to eat and drink, and occasionally send some local products to the Hong family.

The arrival of Qiangu surprised everyone very much, could it be that the master came to inspect their farm work? I was a little apprehensive, after all, they only asked the steward to go to Hong's house every year to report the harvest or something.

In fact, there are still a lot of things that can be done in private. This time, the master personally came to check, what if he found out something and then fired them?

However, they heard that Qingu had reconciled and separated from Master Hong, and they had moved here to live here.

The old lady of the dignified family will live in this place in the future?

Their expressions of sincere fear immediately became a little playful.

Oh, it turned out that he was not wanted by Master Hong, and he was driven to Zhuangzi.

So, if the other party wants to "fire" them, it is better to ......

This is a suburb of the county, and it doesn't look like a good environment, but the news is not closed at all.

These helpers are also very active under the seemingly honest appearance.
