Chapter 2 2. Do not learn from female celebrities

This family is full of joy and warmth. This family is a well-educated family, and the children have to receive an education that builds a sense of responsibility from an early age. This family is a very well-behaved family.Although Jesus is in charge of the soul of the head of the family, traditional Chinese customs also keep them in line. At that time, a Chinese boy had to read the Five Classics and the Four Books "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye".Because only in this way can they establish a world, be an official, and be a man in the future.And a girl should learn "female red", that is, learn needlework and embroidery.Because only in this way can we marry in the future.Men need women to serve, and women must learn to serve men.

Mrs. Song doesn't like needlework, but wants her daughters to be proficient in it. She hired a female master who could read and write and was proficient in embroidery to teach her daughters embroidery. Embroidery is to embroider all kinds of beautiful patterns on silk cloth, or peony splits, or plum blossoms, or mandarin ducks playing in the water... Learning embroidery can not only cultivate women's housework skills, but also hone people's temperament, train the sentiments of ladies, make them gentle, virtuous and industrious, and stimulate their love of beauty. At the beginning, Meiling learned embroidery very seriously.The flying colorful thread embroiders various flowers, small animals, landscapes, clouds and trees on the silk...

She is curious.She thought it was fun. Because she was the youngest, she ran to the eldest sister for a while to see how the eldest sister embroidered; The second sister is gentle and virtuous, and she is very dedicated and serious in everything she does. The eldest sister is bold and unrestrained by nature, but of course she is impatient.She was bored with the situation of sitting quietly for half a day to embroider a lace, and she was not at all willing to learn this job.But she didn't dare to disobey benevolence, so she tried to play tricks on the embroidery master. Meiling soon became the eldest sister's "accomplice".

In the Shanghai dialect, the pronunciation of "female worker buddy" and "female beggar" are very similar.The eldest sister used this pun to make a big fuss. At the beginning of embroidery every day, the three girls took turns calling this "female worker buddy" "female beggar", and then asked this and that seriously.The elder sister took the lead, and the younger sister followed, calling once, and laughing non-stop. At first, the female teacher didn't know the reason, but thought they were serious about their studies.Then she finally discovered their secret.

They pissed off the lady master. Once, when the three sisters were laughing hard, the female teacher said angrily: "If you laugh again, I won't teach!" As soon as the little girls heard that "no more teaching", if they were amnesty, they ran out of the door happily. Meiling ran faster than her two older sisters. Hearing that the daughters had made the master angry, Mrs. Song called the three sisters together and severely reprimanded them, accusing them of playing such tricks, which was too rude. In a fit of anger, Mrs. Song wanted to punish them. Fortunately, Song Jiashu returned home in time.After hearing what was going on, he chuckled and said: Needlework embroidery is of course good to learn, since they don't want to, it's okay not to learn.Those things can be bought for a few bucks and are better, why not make time to teach them to read children's books and learn useful things.

Looking at her father's gentle smiling face and listening to her father's kind words, Mei Ling's pair of beautiful big eyes did not blink at all. She loves father!
