Chapter 104: Suffering from lack of culture

Li Muyang said that he reads books, which is pure nonsense.

He doesn't know a few Chinese characters, so what can he read?

This is purely because I don’t want to lose face in front of a woman I rarely care about, and I just want to show off my strength temporarily.

Because Lin Xiuli likes reading and she has a dream of being a literary youth, so in order to gain more favor from her, he forcibly added some hobbies to himself.

But what?

In fact, deep down in his heart, he does not reject reading.

I suffered enough from being uneducated in my previous life, and in this life I will also find ways to learn a little more cultural knowledge and broaden my horizons, so that I can go further no matter what I do.

If you continue to maintain the state of mind of being a big boss, even if you live a lifetime, it will be difficult to achieve anything, and you may just go back to the old path.

Then he will live a yo-yo life again.

Lin Xiuli didn't know the little Jiujiu in the kid in front of her. Li Muyang was pretending to be too honest.

He brought many years of life experience and used it on girls in their twenties, basically dimensionality reduction.

Lin Xiuli said excitedly: "It doesn't matter. You can learn any knowledge slowly. If you don't know the words, you can also learn it slowly. Think about it, if you know ten words every day, you will learn three hundred words in a month."

, that’s more than 3,000 words in that year.

Let me tell you, if you know 3,000 characters, you can pass the college entrance examination. There are tens of thousands of characters in our country, but only a few thousand are commonly used.

Taking a step back, even if you know five words or one word every day and study for a few more years, you can basically read most books. In the process of learning, your learning ability will improve, and you will gradually realize more

Too many words."

Lin Xiuli seldom talks about these things to others, she has no chance.

Most of the people of the same age are married and have children. When sitting with them, the most talked about are children and men, as if without these two things, they have nothing to talk about.

They don’t know at all, where is the part about themselves in their lives?

Now that I finally found someone to talk to, I couldn't help but speak out all my inner thoughts.

Whenever she couldn't help but finish a sentence, she felt a little embarrassed, worried that Li Muyang would think that she was too ambitious and not like someone who lived a down-to-earth life.

But, for some reason, she just wanted to share it with Li Muyang. The man in front of her gave her an indescribable sense of security.

When she spoke, she lowered her head and silently looked at the coriander leaves floating in her bowl, not daring to look at Li Muyang's expression.

In this way, even if he wants to say something, just say it, she won't look at him anyway.

But dozens of seconds passed after she finished speaking, and Li Muyang still didn't say anything. She couldn't help but look up, and saw Li Muyang looking at her with a smile, as if he was waiting for her to look up.

Seeing that she really raised her head, she smiled gently and said: "I think what you said is very reasonable. In other words, a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest..."

"Poof!"

Lin Xiuli was laughed at.

I almost burst out laughing.

"Comrade Li Muyang, you used it wrong. You didn't use your words here."

"Isn't it?"

Li Muyang scratched his head, "Don't you mean, if you want to accomplish something, no matter how small the strength is, you can just come together?"

"Hahahaha~"

Lin Xiuli was so amused that she almost laughed out her nose with snot, "It's the other way around, you just used it the other way around. What you said means that if you want to destroy something, no matter how small the threat is, you can't ignore it."

Look at it."

"Is that so?"

Li Muyang smiled awkwardly.

He really doesn't know that for many people, this kind of basic knowledge is something that is difficult for him to understand.

"The correct way to say it is that the nine-story platform starts from tired soil, or it can be said that the sand is gathered into a hill, or the armpits are gathered into fur..."

Li Muyang was a little confused when he heard this, but he still smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to rely on you to teach me more. If you teach me a word or a reasonable sentence every day, I'll be able to say more than 300 sentences in that year.

You can recognize more than 300 characters."

"Okay, okay...ah, what, you..."

Lin Xiuli responded very quickly and found the problem easily.

How could she teach him knowledge every day? The two of them don't get along day and night.

This person looks honest, but his thoughts are not honest.

Li Muyang acted as if nothing had happened and started chatting with her about other things.

Lin Xiuli has changed in some places, but most of her personality and habits are the same as before. She slowly and tentatively talked, and gradually talked about her favorite things.

Naturally, Lin Xiuli was very happy and had endless things to say with him.

The two of them ate sheep's head soup for more than an hour. They were worried that Ma Laosi would come to chop them with a machete, so they paid the bill and went outside.

Standing at the door of the mutton restaurant, both of them were reluctant to leave.

But for an activity like blind date, the two of them spent a long time today.

So both of them were embarrassed to say anything.

The atmosphere fell into a brief awkwardness again.

"We are selling Yuzi leaves. Buy them and make rice dumplings. The clean, wide and tender Yuzi leaves will be gone after they are sold out."

At this time, a voice came from the street calling for Yuzi Yeye.

Yuzi is the dialect of reed.

People in Qingcheng make rice dumplings with rain leaves every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, so on this day, or even in the previous episode, people started to hawk them.

The reeds here are dry reeds and do not require a lot of water. They live in the depressions at the bottom of the ditch.

It will grow well as long as it is kept moist.

Only people who are close to the ditch will carry it, and others will not go so far to do it, so it can be regarded as a small source of extra income for these people.

The Dragon Boat Festival in Qingcheng is quite grand.

Not only do they have to eat burning rice and rice dumplings, but they also have moxa leaves hanging at the door, flowery ropes on their wrists and ankles, and purses hanging on the shoulders of the children (called playing tricks here)

The usage of mugwort leaves is the same as in the south, most of them are hung on the entrance hall.

The flower rope is made of colorful ropes twisted into one and worn on the ankles and wrists. It is said to ward off snakes.

As for sachets, they are basically a very important piece of folk culture.

In later generations, the Xiangbao Festival was held every Dragon Boat Festival in Qingcheng, known as the largest Xiangbao Festival in Asia.

At the Xiangbao Festival, you can see almost all kinds of sachets, the small ones are as big as beans, and the big ones can’t fit in a room.

In this era, almost every woman can make sachets. Older children will hang the sachets around their waists, while younger children will crawl all over their fronts and backs.

There are many kinds of them.

Boys and girls who are studying in school will also send sachets to each other, mostly from girls to boys. The most honorable time for a boy is when he receives more sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Under normal circumstances, people will hang all the sachets on their waists and swing them around, deliberately showing off to those who have fewer sachets, which is disgusting.

There are also some more "evil" students who are not attractive themselves, and few girls take the initiative to give them sachets, so they grab them and snatch the sachets away if the girls don't pay attention.

Under normal circumstances, girls just stamp their feet helplessly, but are not particularly angry.

Some generous and virtuous girls will take a ball with a flower string on this day. When they get to the class, they will help any male students put it on if they don't have a flower string.

There is no ambiguity in it, just pure blessings and wishes.

Let these children, whose parents are forced to make ends meet and don’t have much sense of ritual, can also enjoy a little holiday care.

Now, when Li Muyang saw the seller selling Yuzi Yeye, he suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "Have you bought your Yuzi Yeye?"

"Buy...not much."

In fact, she bought enough, but Lin Xiuli lied.

"It just so happens that we haven't bought any at home, let's take a look together?"

In fact, his family has also bought it. Li Xiangqin specifically explained in the last episode that he bought a lot, enough to make more than a hundred rice dumplings.

"Okay, I'll buy some more later."

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and they both dared not look into each other's eyes, feeling guilty.

"The ones sold on the street are generally not very good. The leaves are not wide enough, so it is difficult to wrap them when the time comes, and they are not very fresh..."

Li Muyang did this completely against his will.

In fact, there is nothing good or bad about Yuzi Yeye. As long as this thing is sold on the street, people will choose it carefully. Even if there is a difference, it will be very small and it will definitely not have such a serious impact.

"Yeah, I don't know. I've been buying from them before. Do you know where to buy it?"
