Chapter 312: The big and small girls persuaded their mother and second aunt to learn to read
Qian Daya was startled, then smiled and said, "Xiaoya is right."
Qian Xiaoya giggled, stuffed the anatomy book into her hands, and went back to her mother and second aunt.
It was the first time for the two women to come here. Looking at the bright and clean floor and walls, and seeing their own cramped figures reflected in the glass, they seemed even more out of place.
Both of them wanted to leave, but their feet seemed to have taken root. Perhaps they were reluctant to leave in their hearts.
Watching Qian Xiaoya slipping into the crowd with ease, standing on tiptoe to take the immortal book, and not showing the slightest sign of fear even when standing in front of a rich young man dressed in silk and satin, if it were before, Qian might have stepped forward in fear and pulled her daughter away to avoid offending the nobleman.
But now, she couldn't help feeling proud.
"Mom, Second Aunt, I asked Sister Shuwu, and she said that the open areas on the third floor, the east area is the tool encyclopedia, and the west area is agricultural planting and agricultural science development. These two areas are very helpful to us."
Because Qian Xiaoya and her friends had never stayed in a homestay, they didn't have any wristbands. Most of the information they had heard was from others, but Qian Xiaoya preferred to ask the staff.
"Let me teach you how to read today. Sister Shuwu said that reading is very important. Even if we can listen to books, we can only remember them if we truly understand them. Otherwise, they will just be fleeting."
The two women have been dealing with farmland for twenty or thirty years. To them, literacy is something out of their reach. When they heard that they could learn to write, their first reaction was to refuse and wave their hands.
"Little girl, your mother is already so old, and she is still learning to read. It's really ridiculous."
Qian Xiaoya frowned, "What's so funny? These are all immortal books. Others want to learn but can't. Look at those nobles in the capital. They have to come from far away. We have the conditions to come here every day. Others don't know how much they envy us."
"You forgot that the village chief encouraged us to come to the library often. What does this mean? It means that we can learn real skills in the library."
"The skills we have learned belong to us. No one else can take them away. Even if others laugh at us, so what? We won't lose a piece of meat anyway. While they are laughing at us, we are moving forward. Sooner or later, we will surpass them."
"Good! That's very nice of you, little girl."
A young man in a white crescent-shaped shirt clapped softly, his voice slightly lowered, his eyes full of appreciation.
Qian was startled and subconsciously wanted to kneel down.
Qian Xiaoya pulled her to stand behind him, looked up at the young man, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Thank you for the compliment, big brother."
The young man's smile deepened, "You're welcome."
He seemed to want to say something else, but his eyes met the two women who looked reserved and uneasy. He nodded slightly and walked away.
Qian Xiaoya didn't take this little episode to heart. She really enjoyed chatting with Sister Shuwu. Subconsciously, her thinking and ideas were also changing, but she herself didn't notice it.
This isn't the first time someone has praised her.
She's used to it.
"Mom, Second Aunt, let's go. This computer is very useful. I guarantee you can learn ten words a day."
Qian Xiaoya forcefully pulled one of them over to the computer to study.
She has become familiar with this area. Before this, she could not read a single word, but after learning how to use the computer, she learned to read very quickly.
Not only can he practice calligraphy, he can also write.
Today she must let her mother and second aunt experience the joy of learning to read.
Qian Daya was sitting on the table and chair nearby reading a book. She turned around and saw that the two elders still looked very embarrassed, so she sighed slightly.
"Mother, Second Aunt, we don't know if the immortals will always be here, so we must hurry up and learn as much as we can from the immortal books."
"As the saying goes, it's good to have many skills. If you go to the city to find a master, you have to pay to learn a skill. Now there is an opportunity to learn many skills for free. No matter what difficulties they encounter, I hope mother and second aunt can persevere."
She understood the personalities of her mother and second aunt. They were weak and self-deprecating. They always felt that they were not good enough at anything and often complained about themselves, but refused to change.
Qian Xiaoya nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there are a lot of things in the reference books upstairs. It is said that there are farm tools and textile machines, which are much more useful than what we have now. If we learn them first, maybe we can start a business."
"The reason why there are so many people in the library every day is that everyone wants to learn something good from the immortal books. Even if they only learn one, they will benefit from it for the rest of their lives."
Qian was a typical ancient housewife, humble and docile. When she heard the little girl say "textile machine," she was shaken.
Qian Xiaoya gave another strong dose of medicine, "Mom, look over there, are there people from other villages? They are all here to learn. Every little bit they learn means they can go higher and further. Maybe soon, they will surpass many villagers, and we will be the only ones who stay where we are without any change."
"When everyone else is eating delicious food and wearing silk and satin, we are still worried about not having enough to eat."
Qian and Second Aunt imagined the scene and couldn't help but shudder. "Let's learn it."
People are afraid of comparison.
If everyone were poor, perhaps no one would think it was a big deal.
But if one person suddenly becomes rich, this balance is broken.
Qian Daya nodded, "Xiaoya, you should study hard with mother and second aunt."
She knew a few words. She had a good friend who studied in school. During the monthly break, he would teach her how to write.
He also gave her a name, Qian Changsong.
He said it was taken from the word "Changsong" in the sentence "May you learn from the long pine, and be careful not to become a peach or plum."
She loves it.
Qian Daya looked at the book in her hand, her eyes full of determination.
She thought that she would not let him down.

The unlocked areas of the library can be seen by Fu Yin in the system background.
The east area of the fourth floor is the novel area, and the west area is the literature area.
In addition to the books that come with the library, Fu Yin can also purchase the books she wants in the library mall and place them in the corresponding areas. Similarly, if she has resources, such as books sent from China or other time and space, she can also place them as long as they are successfully entered into the library.
At this moment, Fu Yin is screening in the mall, preparing for the next upgrade.
The library had such a huge impact on the ancients that the upgrade progress bar changes every day. It’s a pity that the specific data of the amazing value cannot be seen, otherwise it must have been growing wildly.
I believe that in a day or two, the library will be upgraded again.
Fu Yin stroked his chin, his eyes shining, and he muttered to himself, "'Traveling through the primitive tribe and leading all mankind into the technological age' has no CP, 'The Princess Covers the Sky with Her Hands' has no CP, 'The Female Strategist' has no CP, and 'I Deliver Technology to Another World, and the Country Praises Me as a Fortune' has no CP..."
I found hundreds of books with heroines who are all working hard. (The one with some personal stories should be included, too, ahem)

Qian Daya's mother and second aunt are actually microcosms of most village women in the ancient world.
According to the common sense of novels, the ones with proper names are not passers-by A, B, C, and D, but supporting characters one, two, three, and four.
Believe me, these names will be useful later, jiu mi~
