The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143: Chapter 966, Daoxiang Village

After entering the first lunar month, most parts of Xiliang had stopped snowing, and even if there were a few places that continued to receive snowfall, it was not heavy. By the time of the Lantern Festival, it had all ceased, which relieved everyone.

"The snow has stopped; this year’s spring farming should not be affected."

Xiao Yeyang was teaching his son to draw various small animals and plants, while speaking to Daohua who was sitting on the kang bed, busily writing something.

Daohua: "You just took over Xiliang less than two years ago. The internal issues within Xiliang have not been completely resolved. We really can’t afford any disasters at this time."

Xiao Yeyang: "You’re telling me."

After a while, Xiao Yeyang, seeing his son diligently drawing a house, walked over to Daohua’s side: "What are you working on all the time, I only ever see you writing and drawing these days?"

He said this as he picked up the booklet that Daohua was writing in.

Daohua took the opportunity to stretch her neck: "It’s all for your son. The little guy will be three years old this May. Your mother has been discussing with me about starting his education. This reminded me to organize the Pinyin I saw in the storybooks before."

Xiao Yeyang flipped through the Pinyin alphabet that Daohua had organized, and said with a frown: "How come you always come across such strange storybooks?"

Daohua shrugged: "How would I know?"

Xiao Yeyang looked doubtful: "Is this Pinyin reliable?"

Daohua: "Why wouldn’t it be reliable? Haven’t you seen that I’ve annotated the characters with Pinyin in the Three Character Classic? This is much easier than what the master taught us."

Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment: "I’m free right now, teach me first."

Daohua gave him a sidelong glance and huffed: "You’re worried I’ll teach your son incorrectly?"

Although she said this, Daohua still picked up the Pinyin chart and started teaching.

"a (ah), b (bo), c (ci), d (de)..."

At first, Xiao Yeyang was not accustomed to it, but gradually, he managed to read smoothly.

Daozi, who was happily drawing, saw his parents, one teaching and the other learning, and it looked like so much fun. He immediately dropped his watercolor brush and scampered over, dove into Daohua’s arms, indicating he wanted to join in the fun.

So, Daohua ended up teaching both the older and the younger ones together.

Of course, Daozi was just playing with his parents and not learning seriously, but Xiao Yeyang became more and more amazed as he learned.

As a person who received a formal education, he quickly realized the significance of this Pinyin alphabet.

In the following days, like his son, Xiao Yeyang’s thirst for knowledge was insatiable. After leaving the office, he would constantly pull Daohua aside to teach him Pinyin.

Seeing this, Daozi naturally wanted to join in on the excitement.

Daohua took the opportunity to start teaching her son to recite the Three Character Classic. Xiao Yeyang learned Pinyin very quickly and in less than half a month, could annotate characters with Pinyin himself.

Daohua, however, did not pay much attention to this; her focus was on Daozi.

She found that her son had a great memory; after teaching him a few times, he could remember it, which made her incredibly happy.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua’s preferential treatment, shook his head helplessly and took the Pinyin chart to Yan Wenxiu.

"Take a look at this; your elder sister compiled this for Daozi’s education."

Yan Wenxiu, holding the Pinyin chart, was completely befuddled. What was this? He didn’t recognize it.

Seeing Yan Wenxiu’s reaction, Xiao Yeyang smiled and took on the role of a master, teaching Yan Wenxiu the Pinyin alphabet a few times.

Yan Wenxiu, a legitimate scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, had strong learning and memorizing abilities. Just like Xiao Yeyang, the more he learned, the more he understood the importance of the Pinyin alphabet.

"I heard from the Emperor Uncle before that he wanted to compile a dictionary, but unfortunately, he never found a suitable candidate and the plan was never realized. Now that your elder sister has come up with this Pinyin chart, I think it could be an opportunity."

"Take it back and study it; think about whether the Yan Family can seize this opportunity."

The Prince Residence is already noble enough, and as long as he governs Xiliang well, he need not worry about the Emperor Uncle mistreating him; he doesn’t need to take credit for the dictionary.

Daohua, a daughter of the Yan Family, had created something of value, and it was only right that the Yan Family should benefit from it.
