Chapter 1894 Chu Daya

After thinking a lot, Jia Zhengjin couldn't just push the poor little guy off the bed and let the child sleep on the floor, right?

So, he took firewood and leaves from the bedside, made a temporary "bed", and covered it with old clothes and lay down.

He slept until dawn.

After waking up, the child found himself sleeping on the bed, and as the owner of the house, "Niu Shun" actually spread firewood on the floor, curled up in the corner, and apologized repeatedly. And said that he would let "Niu Shun" sleep on the bed, and he could sleep on the firewood pile.

The child was sensible and kept apologizing.

"It's okay!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand, "Just make do with it last night. After all, it's too late to bother others. Before I go up the mountain, I'll find a carpenter in the village to make a new bed, so no one has to sleep on the firewood pile."

"I'm sorry..." The child lowered his head and grabbed his clothes, feeling very uneasy, "The money my father left was spent on the burial... But I can work, chop wood, boil water, cook, and do anything!"

"No need!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I'll find a way to pay for this bed. At most, I can chop more firewood and make up for it. I think I can buy it on credit from the carpenter, or use firewood to pay it off."

"Why don't you buy a bed?" The child hesitated and said, "I can sleep on the floor..."

"What kind of words are those?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Your parents entrusted you to my father. Although my father has passed away a long time ago, as a son, of course I have to take care of you. Although there is not much money at home, I can still take good care of you."

He considered his words with Niu Shun's personality and tried to answer from the perspective of this character.

"Thank you, Brother Shunzi! I... I will definitely work hard and repay you well!" The child said seriously.

"Speaking of this," Jia Zhengjin said softly, "there is not much work for you to do at home, so I won't take you to the mountains to chop firewood..."

"I can chop firewood," the child said hurriedly, "I have the strength!"

"I won't take you, it's too dangerous! At least not at your current age." Jia Zhengjin shook his head, "I thought about it carefully last night. When I go up the mountain to chop firewood during the day, I want you to go to Wang Xu to study. Because taking you with me will definitely affect the speed of chopping firewood. If I delay the time and can't collect enough firewood every day, the money I earn will be less, which will be more troublesome. When you grow up, you can chop firewood with me."

"Study?" The child was obviously stunned when he heard this, "Me?"

"Yes! You are still young now,

Don't rush to help with the work." Jia Zhengjin said, "Although my family doesn't have much money, if I spend a little more effort and make one more bundle of firewood every day, I believe that if I ask Mr. Wang Xu, he will agree. After all, we are from the same village."

"I am bothering Brother Shunzi here, I have I feel really bad about it." The child said hurriedly, "How can I not work, and even let Brother Shunzi chop wood for me to study? No, no! I can help Brother Shunzi with work, whether it's chopping wood in the mountains or farming, or washing clothes and cooking..."

"I have decided, maybe if you study hard, you can still pass the imperial examination." Jia Zhengjin advised, "When you have an imperial examination, I still have to rely on you!"

"Imperial examination?" The child was slightly stunned, and then hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Brother Shunzi, I can't pass the imperial examination..."

"Why can't I? You have to pass the exam to know!" Jia Zhengjin made up his mind to send the child to Wang Xu, so he said firmly, "You can't be without confidence."

"It's not that question..." The child blinked and pointed at himself, "From ancient times to the present, where has a girl studied and passed the imperial examination?"

"What's wrong with a girl? Girl...ah? You are a girl?" Jia Zhengjin reacted and stared at the child in front of him blankly.

"Yeah!" The child nodded, "Ladies from wealthy families only learn these things, and it's enough for poor girls to work!"

For Jia Zhengjin, it's nothing for girls to read and write, and even to show their talents.

Before crossing over, on Earth, men and women were already equal, and women also held up half the sky.

After crossing over, in the first alien world, the status of women was not too low. At least in Shenglong City, there were many female prime ministers and generals. As long as they were capable, gender was not a problem.

But now this world seems to be still in the feudal era, and the concept of male superiority and female inferiority has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and has not changed.

Here, women cannot show their faces casually, and they are required to stay in the boudoir. Only poor women need to work to supplement their family income, and there are also people who go up the mountain and down the field. But women studying to get a good name has never happened in history, and the government cannot allow it.

Jia Zhengjin thought of a countermeasure at night, but he didn't expect that the child was actually a girl.

If it was a boy, there would be no problem studying hard to get a good name. She is a girl. Although she can also read and write, it has nothing to do with getting a good name.

In other words, it seems inappropriate to arrange for someone to study and learn to read under the pretext of official title.

But the plan has been thought out, so we can't give up halfway, right?

Jia Zhengjin thought about it carefully and simply said, "What's wrong with girls? Even if they can't pass the imperial examination, it's good to read more books and understand things."

"Brother Shunzi, if your family is well-off, there is nothing to say." The child in front of him raised his head, "But I heard from those uncles that the money that Brother Shunzi earns from cutting firewood every day is just barely enough to eat, and it may not be enough to eat enough. If I go to school, I will have to increase your burden. In fact, I am satisfied with having a brick and a tile to shelter from the wind and rain! Brother Shunzi is willing to take me in, which is the greatest favor. Besides, I don't like to study, and I don't have the fate of a lady. I can do any work at home."

"You are too young..."

"Brother Shunzi, I am not young! After the Chinese New Year, I will be thirteen. When my mother was thirteen, she had already married my father."

"..." Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was speechless.

Marrying at the age of thirteen, isn't it too early?

"Brother Shunzi, I don't want to study. I want to go up the mountain to chop firewood with you! I have strength, really."

As he spoke, the child walked to the corner of the wall, reached out for a bundle of firewood, and wanted to carry it to prove himself.

As a result, the bundle of firewood was too heavy. She held it hard, her face flushed, and she could only shake it slightly, but she couldn't lift it at all.

"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin stepped forward to stop him, "I know you don't want to live here for free, but you are really young, so don't worry. There is no light work for you to do at home right now. Whether it is useful or not, go to Mr. Wang's house first? At least I will go to the mountain to chop firewood during the day, so I don't have to worry about your problems."

"But Brother Shunzi..."

"Did Uncle Chu entrust you to my father?"

"Hmm~"

"If my father is not here, does it mean that he entrusts you to me?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.

"Hmm~"

"Then who is in charge at home?"

"Brother Shunzi..."

"That's right! My words count at home." Jia Zhengjin nodded, "By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Daya! The Ya of a girl."

"Chu Daya?"

"Hmm!"

"..." This name, isn't it too casual?

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
