Chapter 56: Ordinary is true

"Zhao Ji, what do you think?"

Zhao Yu did not answer Hu Liu first, but looked at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji looked at the snow-white hair ball crawling on the ground with love in her heart. She came back to her senses when she heard Zhao Yu ask her.

"It all depends on your husband's wishes."

He looked at the two and a half-year-old children again, paused, and said, "I think it's okay, right?"

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded: "That's fine."

Then he said to Hu Liu: "My husband and I will stay here for February and March, so we have some free time. How many children are there in your village? If you are willing, you can come tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Hu Liu and other hunters were immediately grateful and bowed repeatedly.

Then he left in a hurry and went back to the village to tell the villagers the good news.

Zhao Yu quickly stopped him: "You tiger cub..."

Hu Liudao: "Mr. Xinjiao knows that the villain and others worked together to hunt a tiger when we went into the mountains the day before yesterday and found the cub in the tiger's den. We originally wanted to kill it, but the villain thought that there was no one around the gentleman and his wife, probably Loneliness, just...just..."

Zhao Yu laughed: "You are serious."

Hu Liu touched his forehead and laughed, turned around and left.

Zhao Ji then picked up the fur ball and said, "Is it a tiger cub?"

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "It's a tiger cub. If you like it, keep it. White tigers are rare."

"Um."

Then Zhao Yu said to the two and a half-year-old children who were left at a loss: "Don't be nervous. Come here."

Two and a half-year-old children came slowly over, wringing their fingers and lowering their heads, not daring to look at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu said: "Tell the teacher, what are your names?"

"I..." After hearing this, the older boy pursed his lips and mustered up the courage to whisper: "My name is Huzi."

"Hu Hu?"

"Um."

"Where is she?" Zhao Yu said, "Is she your sister?"

"Yes. Hu Xiaoniang. My sister's name is Hu Xiaoniang."

"Hu Hu, Hu Xiaoniang, okay." Zhao Yu said kindly: "Hu Liu is your father?"

"Um."

Zhao Yu nodded with a smile: "Then from now on, until I leave here, I will be your teacher, teaching you literacy and martial arts. A teacher, preaching, imparting knowledge and solving doubts. The teacher must be obedient during class, and not at other times. Requirement, do you understand?”

"is teacher."

"is teacher."

"Teacher is not a man-eating tiger. Master, master, is also a teacher and a father. Relax." Zhao Yu's tone was like gurgling water, and he quickly soothed the two children's moods: "I won't go to class today. I will be with you in the village tomorrow." Start the class together with my friends.”

At noon, Zhao Yu and his wife had a meal with their two children. In the afternoon, Zhao Yu had to take care of the fruits and vegetables in the field, so he let the children play aside.

Just like an ordinary person, weeding and watering, Zhao Ji is helping, and the little white tiger is having fun next to her. The couple got their hands full of mud, but they didn't feel anything bad.

"Husband, shall we stay here for another two or three months?"

Zhaoji said: "In this case, I don't want to be too idle."

"Oh?" Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Why don't you help share some tasks with my husband. My husband teaches them literature and martial arts, and Zhao Ji teaches them music, calligraphy and painting."

"Yeah." Zhao Ji smiled like water.

Before the sun went down, Zhao Yu and his wife made dinner early, and after letting the two half-year-old children, who had played all afternoon and were no longer so shy, eat enough, they sent them to the entrance of the village outside the valley before returning.

Early the next morning, Hu Liu arrived with seven or eight children.

The oldest of these children was about the same as Hu Hu, and the youngest was only two or three years old. They were carried on the backs of the older children, as if they were dragging the family with them. Hu Liu was a little embarrassed and said: "Sir, please forgive me. Because the adults in the village have to work, the older children have always taken care of the children at home..."

Zhao Yu didn't feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Just don't worry, I will watch."

"Thank you sir."

Thus, Zhao Yu’s journey of preaching and teaching blossomed here again.

When Zhao Yu was in Nanyang, there was a Han Shu who also taught him the technique. Outside Puyang, there is another courtyard with ten disciples including Cao Ang. Now I am working as a teacher in Jigu again. It can be considered a familiar road. As usual, I studied Chinese characters and hyphenation in the morning, and practiced martial arts and exercise in the afternoon.

Taking some time in between, Zhao Ji taught them some music, calligraphy and painting.

It's quite tight.

These children are no better than Han Shu or Cao Ang. They all come from the lowest level of civilian families. Han Shu, Cao Ang and others all have family connections, but Hu Hu and the others have nothing.

So at the beginning, it was a bit difficult to teach.

However, Zhao Yu had Zhao Yu's method of filling his ears with the sound of Taoism. No matter how hard he was, he could still gain something.

Since officially teaching Hu Hu and other children, Zhao Yu has seen more smiles on Zhao Ji's face. Maybe I have found a way to realize myself. Zhao Ji is a talented woman who knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, music, and music. But in the past, she could only enjoy herself with Zhao Yu and his wife. Now that she can teach it to others, she naturally feels a sense of accomplishment.

At the same time, the longer he stayed here, the more Zhao Yu discovered that his and Zhao Ji's life gradually tended to be the plainest and most real.

"Husband, wash out the vegetables!"

"My husband sharpens his knife."

"Husband, please clean the house."

"We are going to eat hares today. My husband is going to hunt some hares."

As for music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as insights into life, there is gradually less of it.

Zhao Yu quite realized that this is probably the real life.

Trivial things, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are all a matter of shortcomings. Even Zhao Ji is not exempt from vulgarity.

Of course, if there are a lot of attendants around, probably not. But alas, no.

However, Zhao Yu prefers this.

If you have an attendant, it means that the attendant is helping you live your life. Or they are too busy to take care of life, such as Cao Mengde. But Zhao Yu is not busy, so he prefers to live his own life.

Cleaning, washing, kitchen, kitchen knives, these are the most important parts of life.

What a lofty life, what lofty ideals, in fact, to most people, they are all nonsense. People will eventually return to the ordinary and real. The ordinary and the real are hidden in life. Trivial things are ordinary, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are real.

However, Zhao Yu also thought that people's hearts are fickle and human nature is fickle. Therefore, life is different at different stages of human life. So when we say that the mortal world is vast, this is the mortal world. Even Zhao Yu can’t explain it clearly.

“Follow the trend and do whatever you want.”

This is the result that Zhao Yu came to.

Maybe Zhao Ji likes this kind of life now, but after three to five months, she may find it annoying. It reminds me of music, chess, calligraphy and painting again. But no matter what, just follow your heart.

Zhao Yu taught them the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, and the Disciple's Guidelines all at once. Recite, write, understand, step by step. Then comes martial arts. Paying equal attention to civil and military affairs, there is no mistake in the end.
