Chapter 39 Good impression brought by small details

   "You follow your mother." Ye Muyu went in with the bowl and chopsticks.

  Before going in, seeing that Chu Jin was not lazy, he went directly to the study with paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and was a little surprised.

   When he entered the kitchen, he asked, "Why does your brother love reading all of a sudden?"

   "Mom, I don't know either. Before dinner, Dad taught my younger brother and me how to read."

   "By the way, mother, father asked me to learn to read characters with him, and said that mother, you should also learn. Is this true?" Chu Ziluo raised her head and asked.

  Ye Muyu thought that this is the case, the child Chu Jin was probably inspired, and he developed a desire to compare himself, so it was a blessing in disguise.

   After wanting to understand this, Ye Muyu answered Chu Ziluo's question: "Well, mother must follow suit. From now on, you learn to read and write every day."

  Ye Muyu hadn't thought about teaching Ziluo to read, but when she heard that Chu Heng had proposed it on her own initiative, she felt that besides being stingy, Chu Heng had a lot to offer.

   "Mom, I will study hard." Chu Ziluo hurriedly expressed her opinion, and after she finished speaking, she reached out to wash the dishes.

  Ye Muyu didn't stop her, and happened to check her ability to wash dishes.

  She went to the side to light the medicine stove, washed the medicine pot, put a new pack of medicine, put it on the medicine stove and started to boil, which would take at least half an hour.

  I saw that Chu Ziluo washed the dishes very skillfully, it can be seen that she has washed them countless times.

  Ye Muyu lamented once again that this child suffered hardships before, so she couldn't help pampering her more.

  She found a clean cloth, wiped the bowl Chu Ziluo had washed, and put it in the cupboard.

   "Mother, why do you need to wipe the dishes with a cloth?" Chu Ziluo asked curiously.

  Ye Muyu explained softly: "Look, after washing the bowl, if you overlap it on another bowl, won't it make the bowl below dirty again?"

   "Wiping the bowl dry will not only make the bowl cleaner, but also prevent it from getting dirty again. It will be very clean and beautiful when placed in this way. Only when others see it will they dare to eat with our bowls and chopsticks."

   "People in the city, scholars, and people of status, don't they never eat at our house, but go to restaurants in the county with your father?"

  “The more noble a person is, the more he cares about cleanliness,”

   "We country people, working in the fields, feel that there is mud on our legs, and we don't care."

   "But girls in the city, don't they not like getting a little dirt on their shoes?"

   "Ziluo, Mother wants to teach you the first truth. If you want to be respected by others, you must also learn to respect others."

  "People in the city like to be clean, so we tidy up our house and entertain others, that is, we have done our best in etiquette."

  “Even if people from the countryside come to visit, we must make sure that the food we eat is clean. This is also respect for people.”

   "Mom, I seem to understand, but I don't understand." Chu Ziluo scratched his head, a little puzzled.

   "The mother will give you an example."

  Ye Muyu took out two bowls, the bottom of one bowl had a little black dirt, which was completely brought by the bottom of the bowl.

  Another bowl, clean, nothing.

  Ye Muyu washed the two bowls in front of Chu Ziluo, and poured a cup of tea respectively.

   "Ziluo, what do you think, if you came to visit and saw these two bowls, which one would you choose?"

  Chu Ziluo suddenly realized: "Mother, I will choose the bowl that was clean before."

   "Because I don't know what kind of dirt is in the dirty bowl, even after washing it, it still feels a little dirty."
