Chapter 35 Method
Zisu's role in educating the girls further enhanced her reputation in the village. The clan chief treated her even better, and his wife would frequently visit Zisu's mother and grandmother to chat, helping them quickly integrate into the village and each make one or two close friends.
Yu's heart finally settled down; she finally felt at home in Wuliping and was no longer so anxious. With the support of her clansmen, she was no longer afraid that Zisu's uncle's family would suddenly return to cause trouble for her and manipulate her and her two children.
She worked hard to integrate herself into the group of several kind-hearted village women, taking on the responsibilities and obligations of a mother, aunt, and daughter. She took good care of her two children, her elderly mother, and her younger brother's son, Yu Han.
Little Yu Han is now three years old, exactly two and a half years older than Zi Su's younger brother, Shangguan Yi. The boy is very mischievous but also very clever, and Zi Su cares for and dotes on him greatly.
While teaching the village girls their first lessons, she didn't forget to teach Yu Han, guiding him through the basics. As for writing, it was still too early; the child was too young and lacked the wrist strength.
While teaching the village girls and Yu Han their first lessons, Zisu also diligently practiced calligraphy and studied hard. Before leaving the capital, she went to a bookstore and bought two calligraphy practice books. Her uncle also brought Yu Han two calligraphy practice books.
In her past life, Zisu was spoiled rotten by her aunt, developing an arrogant and unruly personality. She disliked reading, calligraphy, and even music, chess, painting, and needlework, only having an interest in jewelry and cosmetics. In retrospect, it's understandable that Xiao Fan disliked her.
How many men would like a woman who is orphaned, spoiled, uneducated, and lacks stunning beauty?
Having been given a second chance at life, she would strive to learn literature and martial arts. Even if she couldn't be an expert in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she couldn't be completely ignorant of them. As for needlework, that was something she absolutely had to learn, and she had to master it!
Yu was very skilled at needlework, and in addition to studying literature and martial arts, Zisu would learn needlework from Yu for an hour every day. Sometimes, she would play with little Yi-ge'er and take Han-ge'er for a drive around the village. Every day was fully scheduled, and her days were very fulfilling.
Pleasant days always pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the rice seedlings have grown very tall.
One morning, on her way back from hiking and practicing martial arts, Zisu discovered that the rice seedlings in the paddy field had contracted gray leaf spot disease. In her dream world of the future, this disease could be easily cured by spraying a little pesticide. However, in this era, the farmers here had no idea if they had any solutions.
She hurriedly went to the clan chief: "Sixth Grandfather, I've discovered that many rice seedlings in the village's paddy fields seem to have contracted gray spot disease. It must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will inevitably cause a large-scale reduction in yield!"
"Gray spot disease? What does that mean? Let's go to the rice paddies and take a look!" The clan chief had never heard the term "gray spot disease" before, but he vaguely guessed that it might mean that the rice seedlings had gray spots on their leaves.
The two went to the nearest rice paddy. Zisu pointed to the rice seedlings and said, "Sixth Grandpa, the rice seedlings look like this; they've got gray spot disease! We need to treat it quickly. Does Grandpa have any good ideas?"
"Oh, so this is gray spot disease? This has happened in previous years, and it does cause a significant reduction in yield, but there's no way to solve it." The clan chief frowned, at a loss for what to do.
Zisu: "Sixth Grandfather, I have an idea!"
