Fleeing at the beginning of the game: I rely on space to pamper Mrs. Shoufu

Chapter 121 Where did such a smart woman come from?

Jian Erni looked at Tao Xi and smiled, "I am studying with my sister-in-law and helping the people in the village."

Jian Shiwu was speechless for a while.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. As long as everyone has the ability to catch rabbits, it's their ability to feed them, right?"

Tao Xi was very open-minded, "When everyone has meat to eat and no one is jealous of us, where is your elder brother?"

"Reading a book."

Jian Erni pouted towards the other room. When her eldest brother had nothing to do, he would hold a book and read it, very seriously.

Tao Xi remembered in a daze that the male protagonist in the book was the future chief assistant, and it was indeed aggrieved for him to live in the village and hunt and farm with them every day.

She thought of the young children in the village running around having fun, and got up and went outside Jian Shiming's house.

She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, and Jian Shiming's clear voice came.

"Enter."

Except for Tao Xi who would be so polite, there was no one else at home, and he knew it was Tao Xi.

Tao Xi opened the door and went in, and found Jian Shiming sitting at the table reading a book. It was still getting late outside, so Tao Xi walked over and snatched the books in front of him.

"Reading like this is not good for your eyes."

"Okay, then I'll correct it next time."

Jian Shiming sighed, Tao Xi raised his eyes and observed carefully, seeing the worry in his eyebrows.

"Ms. sir, you are destined to be the one holding books, so I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

"What's the idea?"

Jian Shiming was very curious, and the things in her little mind were all novel, which sometimes made him feel ashamed.

"I know you are depressed right now. It's really unreasonable for someone who takes books every day to farm with us all day long."

Tao Xi's words made Jian Shiming feel ashamed, "Madam, don't say that."

He drooped his long eyelashes and said, "Before I fled, I had no hands on anything, and you and your parents were the only ones to worry about at home.

After I escaped from the disaster, I realized that I didn’t boil the water in my home, the sheets didn’t come clean in a vacuum, and even the food didn’t come from a vacuum.

We all have to rely on ourselves, so how can I ignore you like before?"

Jian Shiming reflected on himself that he didn't know this before and was really a nerd.

"I'm not asking you to ignore it."

Tao Xi is very happy. The male protagonist has grown a lot along the way. No wonder he will become the chief assistant in the future.

Jian Shiming shook his head, "Since I am a member of the family, I cannot let you and my brothers and sisters support me."

He is the eldest brother, and he even has the heavy responsibility of supporting his younger siblings, but these are all borne by his wife.

Seeing his serious look, Tao Xi knew why Jian Shiming was unhappy these past two days, and she suddenly smiled.

"Ms. sir, I haven't made my proposal yet, so don't refuse it in a hurry."

He was probably thinking that she would let him go to the academy.

But now that there are disasters everywhere, the academy may have suspended classes.

"Okay, then you tell me."

Jian Shiming discussed with Tao Xi calmly, and Tao Xi flipped through his textbook.

"In the past, my father was a scholar and taught the children in the village to read. In the future, you can also teach the children to read like my father.

I know that now everyone can’t afford to pay for repairs, but repairs don’t have to be in silver, they can also be in other forms, don’t you think so?”

Jian Xiucai was also a weak scholar, and it was through this that he supported so many of their children.

Jian Shiming's eyes sparkled when he heard this. It's not that he hadn't thought about it, but now that everyone was in trouble, he was worried that everyone wouldn't be in the same mood.

But looking at Tao Xi's encouraging eyes, he said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

"Well, we will go to Tonglizheng tomorrow."

Tao Xixiao's crooked eyebrows successfully enlightened Jian Shiming. When Tao Xi left his house, he didn't notice Jian Shiming staring blankly at her back.

Where did such a smart woman come from?

Tao Xi didn't know what Jian Shiming was thinking, so she accompanied Jian Shiming to find Li Zheng the next day.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lizheng was in a dilemma, "Brother Ming, I know you have good intentions, but..., alas!"

He sighed, "It's not that everyone doesn't want to learn, but now they are thinking about how to survive. Children in every household are following the adults to find food.

The weather is quite dry now, but we depend on the weather and must be prepared for the winter."

"I know."

Jian Shiming had already thought of his words last night, "But Li Zheng, have you ever thought about why we have been refused entry into the city before?"

He looked at the sky with his deep eyes, "Not only because the city is full, but if...I mean if, if there can be an official in our village.

As long as you give us a little help, we won't have to be so difficult."

Jian Shiming's words silenced Xu Lizheng. Yes, if there were officials in their clan, they would also...

Thinking this, Xu Lizheng sighed, "Okay, I'll call everyone over later to talk about it."

"Thank you Lizheng, don't worry, the children will not waste much time studying with me.

Just like my wife and the others, they study for half an hour every morning, what do you think?"

Jian Shiming's voice was filled with warmth, and before he knew it, his heart was no longer as cold as before.

"As long as everyone agrees, we will obey your arrangements."

However, Li Zheng felt that this was not optimistic. He was about to starve to death, and the children probably were not in the mood to study.

Sure enough, when Xu Lizheng called everyone over, even though everyone did not dare to confront Jian Shiming and the others, they still expressed their opinions in a low voice.

"Brother Ming, it's not that we don't support you, it's just that the children also have to help with housework."

"Yes, if winter comes, we won't have enough firewood, so we have to collect firewood."

"It's no use reading so many books, I still don't have enough to eat."

"..."

Disasters bring not only physical torture to people, but also changes in their minds. Jian Shiming looked at the children who were resistant to reading and thought of Gu Yan.

"Then I want to ask you, what do you think of Mr. Gu?"

"Master Gu is a good person and is willing to help us."

"Yes, Mr. Gu is a good official. If it weren't for him, we might not be able to settle down."

"..."

"Yes, this is the importance of reading to our children. Reading not only makes people sensible, but also makes our Taomu Village better and better."

Jian Shiming's voice was passionate. Although it was not loud, it was full of power. Tao Xi quickly agreed.

"Yes, it is a disaster now, but we in Dafeng will definitely recover. If the children have skills, they don't have to farm with us in the village.

Those who cannot pass the examination can work as accountants. The most basic requirement for accountants in the city is to be literate. Even if you open your own shop, you still need to be able to keep accounts, right?"

"Ms. Jian is right. My distant cousin used to be the accountant in the city. Unlike us, he doesn't have to flee. Alas."
