On the way back to Beijing, Chunyu Ming specifically told him to walk slowly, so as not to tire the children from the bumps of the carriage. Walking slowly, besides not bumping the children, would allow the children to enjoy the scenery on the roadside while walking.
It is now April and the weather has warmed up. When the sun is shining at noon, the curtains of the car can be opened to let the children experience the world outside the car.
In April and May, when everything in the north recovers, the grass has just emerged from the ground, the bright yellow leaves are shining, and the leaves have begun to germinate. The green hills and green trees are lush, and the farmers drive their cars to deliver dung to the ground. , or wielding a pickaxe to dig the ground, there are many village women and girls digging wild vegetables in the field with baskets on their shoulders. There are people everywhere on the mountain and in the field. Everyone is busy, beaming, and it looks like spring is full. Vibrant!
Xibao and Xiubao were lying on the small car window, with their two white round faces next to each other, staring curiously at the outside world with their big clear eyes.
From their point of view, everything outside is novelty. In their eyes, the plows and pickaxes used to plow the land, the donkeys pulling the plows, and the carts delivering dung are all very interesting in their eyes.
Seeing the novelty in their eyes, Shen Ruolan explained to them softly, "Those who work are all farmers, and the food we eat is grown by them so hard, as well as the meat and eggs we eat. They are all raised by them, so you must respect them, and you are not allowed to look down on them because they are poor and ignorant, remember?"
Shen Ruolan wants to raise the children into a child who knows how to respect the working people and understand the hardships of the people, so when she introduces these working people to them, she speaks in a grateful and solemn tone.
The children are still young, and they are still a blank sheet of paper. They will naturally listen to what the adults tell them. After hearing Shen Ruolan's words, Xibao nodded obediently and said, "Remember."
Xiubao also opened her round eyes and said seriously: "Remember!"
Her language level is limited, and when she speaks, she often breaks out a word or two, but, considering her age, this is already remarkable!
When Chunyu Ming heard Shen Ruolan educate the two children in this way, he asked her, "Lan'er, is it the rule of your world to respect farmers?"
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "Yes, in our world, all people are equal, there is no distinction between high and low. If you want to gain the respect of others, you must learn to respect others."
However, Chunyu Ming didn't take the rules in Shen Ruolan's world very seriously, "I think your rules are very strange. Since ancient times, people have been divided into high and low. For example, the royal family is more noble than others. Why should you lower your figure to respect it?" What about the farmers who farm the fields?"
Shen Ruolan knew that the ancients had a clear hierarchy, and there was a difference between superiority and inferiority. Chunyu had received this class-like education since childhood, so of course he did not understand the relationship between people in her world, and of course he did not agree with his children. Let us respect those illiterate country people.
To put it bluntly, in his bones, he didn't think highly of those farmers and workers, thinking that they were inferior people and didn't deserve the respect of his cherished children.
Shen Ruolan understood his thoughts, but she had her own thoughts.
She was born at the bottom of the society, knows the sufferings of the people, and also knows the hardships of the people, so she hopes that her children can be more friendly, even respect the people at the bottom of the society, and don't be like other children from aristocratic families who always put on It looks like its eyes are higher than the top, and it looks invincible.
She said: "In our world, a very accomplished emperor once said a word, the king is a boat, the people are water, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. In our history, there are several This dynasty was overthrown by peasant uprisings, so don’t look down on farmers and people at the bottom of society, although they are humble, they are like water, which can carry a boat and capsize it.”
In order to prove her point, Shen Ruolan also specially told him several successful stories of peasant uprisings in Chinese history, such as Liu Bang's snake-killing uprising, Zhu Yuanzhang's peasant uprising, Li Zicheng's uprising, and finally the great leader Chairman M leading the proletarian uprising The story of a class revolution...
Chunyu Ming kept listening silently, Xibao also returned to his seat from the window, and listened seriously, only Xiubao listened for a while, felt bored, and fell asleep sweetly in his father's arms.
After listening to the story, Chunyu Mo pondered for a while, and said, "Every time the dynasty of our state of Chu changes, it is either caused by courtiers or invaded by foreigners. There has never been a peasant rebellion. It seems that peasant rebellion is also something worthy of attention. Things, when I get to the capital, I have to talk to the emperor and the empress dowager about this matter, as a warning."
Seeing that he was so educated, Shen Ruolan was very satisfied, with a smile, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her daughter already asleep, and hurriedly motioned Xibao to take Xiubao's small quilt so that she could cover her sister.
(Actually, she can help Xiubao cover the quilt by leaning forward a little, but she didn't do it, but let Xibao do it, so that he can cultivate the habit of loving his sister from an early age.)
After receiving her mother's instructions, Xi Bao immediately picked up her younger sister's quilt and handed it to her father, and also thoughtfully helped her father tuck her sister in.
Both father and son started to wrap up Xiubao tightly, like a small cocoon.
Sitting opposite, Shen Ruolan saw Xiubao falling asleep in Chunyu's arms, and whispered, "Put her on the couch to sleep, this little pig won't wake up for an hour, you hold her like this She will be very tired."
The car they were in was very big, and there was a couch that could accommodate two adults, and two chairs covered with cushions. The couch and the two chairs were separated by a small table. You can sleep and rest on the couch, and the couch can also be used as a chair after you have slept enough.
"No, she just fell asleep. Letting it go will wake him up, and it won't be too late to let it go later." Chunyu Ming lowered his head, reluctant to let go of the daughter in his arms.
His daughter looks really good-looking, like a virgin in front of the Queen Mother, with a pink and delicate round face, long and neat eyelashes, a bright red mouth like a big cherry, and her hair, It was as soft as the finest silk, smooth to the touch, and incredibly smooth.
Chunyu Ming looked at his daughter, the more he looked at her, the more he loved her, and the more he looked at him, the more delighted he was, he couldn't help but gently lowered his head, kissed her little cheek with the smell of milk, and sighed softly, "Well, It smells so good!"
Seeing his daughter's slavery, Shen Ruolan knew that persuading him would not work, she must hold her daughter until she woke up, so she ignored him and called Xibao to tell him a story.
Chunyu Ming prefers her daughter, so she can only favor her son, otherwise the son's young heart will be hurt, but if they each prefer one, the children's psychology will be balanced!

In the evening, the carriage arrived at Jinchuan.
Mu's family lived here with Zhu'er and Ju'er for ten years, now that they return to their old place, the three mother and son are deeply moved.
"Mother, look, there is Wuji Embroidery Workshop in front of you, do you still remember this place?"
Zhu'er was riding on a horse, and when he passed by a small embroidery workshop, he immediately turned to ask his mother.
Mu's eyes were moist with excitement as he lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the familiar shop.
"Remember, why don't you remember? Mother will never forget this place in her life!" She said in a nasal voice.
She is too familiar with this place. For many years, she supported her two children by doing embroidery work here.
The poverty and humbleness at that time can still be vividly remembered. At that time, she was pale and thin, and she would walk here from the village where she lived every few days to use her embroidered handkerchiefs or shoe uppers, belts, necklines, purses, etc. Things, in exchange for a few copper plates, calculated to survive.
At that time, the family was always counting rice for the pot, and there was never enough time to eat. The children were all hungry and yellow and thin, and they were also dressed in rags. It takes a long time to calculate, and you have to start saving money a long time ago, and after you save enough, you have to buy defective cloth that has been reduced in price, otherwise you will not be able to afford it.
The family can only eat a meal of meat or dumplings every year on the day of the Chinese New Year, and it takes several months to save money for this meal. At that time, an illness or a minor accident can destroy their precarious life. little home.
Looking back now and thinking about those days, she doesn't even know how she got through it!
"Mother, should we go down and see Shopkeeper Wu?" Ju'er also said with red eyes.
The shopkeeper Wu she was talking about was the proprietress of Wu Ji Embroidery Workshop, a widow in her forties, who used to help their mothers a lot.
Although Ju'er is small, she is caring. She has always kept in mind the fact that he has helped them. Now that they are at the door of the house, she really wants to go in and thank him.
"Well, go and have a look." Mu said to Zhu'er, "Go ahead and tell your sister and brother-in-law to wait for a while. I'm going to the embroidery workshop to stay for a while and tell them to wait for me."
