Quick Transmigration: Passer-by Craftsman System [MTL]

Chapter 206- 207

Chapter 206

　　The villagers heard that He Shuanzi borrowed twenty taels and when he finally had money to repair his house, he even bought wood and tiles for his house.

　　Twenty taels, otherwise it is a life-long friendship. It only costs more than a dozen taels to marry a daughter-in-law these days. Twenty taels is a big number in the countryside. A strong laborer can do physical work for a year and lose rations. There will only be four or five taels left.

　　These four or five taels still have to buy clothes and provide for household expenses, and there is not much left in the end. If you get sick once, you can spend several years of savings on it. Therefore, every household cannot save much money at all, that is, those who have jobs in the town and have monthly wages can lend it to others without hesitation.

　　On the other side, Sanlang He Qiming finally started the study life he dreamed of. Every morning before dawn, he would get up, eat porridge, carry a rice ball and a sweet potato for lunch, and then walk more than two hours to the school in the town.

　　It was more than two hours' journey back, and his feet were bruised with blood blisters, but he was quite happy, holding a second-hand book as if he were holding some treasure.

　　The school he attended was no better than the private school in Dalang. It did not provide accommodation and three meals a day, and the teachers were only children, not scholars. The only advantage was that Shu Xiu did not need much.

　　Children in the town go to school for enlightenment at the age of seven or eight, and prepare for the next exam at the age of thirteen or fourteen. He Qiming took enlightenment for two years when he was a child, and did not continue school until he was fifteen. He was late and had no hope of taking the imperial examination.

　　Fortunately, He Laoer did not require him to get any grades. He only hoped that his son could read a few words, be able to do a little arithmetic, and stay in the town to run a shop for others. The wages were high and the life was easy.

　　He Qiming cherishes his reading career very much. Because of his parents' instructions, he goes home from school every day. In addition to practicing and reciting by himself, he also teaches Qingchuan, and his younger sister He Xiaodie can also listen by the side.

　　I don't know whether it's the educational environment or other influences, but He Qiming always recited and read aloud silently, seemingly unable to open his mouth. Later, when I asked, I found out that because of my age, non-standard Mandarin, and dark appearance, I was like a black duck in a henhouse. I was ridiculed and ostracized by other students, and some of them did not dare to open their mouths.

　　Hey, doesn't this become mute English?

　　Reading aloud must be emotional and the voice must be clear to be correct and easiest to remember.

　　There's nothing we can do about it, Qingchuan himself doesn't know the official language here.

　　This world is not like any other dynasty in history. Although the writing is the same, the official dialect is completely different.

　　"Brother, why don't you ask Dad? Dad always knows a few people who speak Mandarin. Let's learn from him. Brother is so smart. Even though we are a few years late, we can still catch up if we work hard." As for the dark face, cover your face a few times. The year will be white.

　　His brother looks like their mother Jiang Beini, with an oval face, a high nose bridge, and double eyelids. Jiang Beini was a famous beauty from all over the fishing village. If she hadn't been a bit shady and came from a fishing family, He Shuanzi wouldn't have been able to marry her.
