Mrs. Ye and the Deaf Old Lady asked about the tricycle. After hearing Ye Shan's explanation, they both said that it was fine and that the tricycle would not be lost. They comforted Ye Shan and told him to relax. It seemed that this era was very different from the future. People had blind trust and worship towards organizations. No wonder there was no major chaos despite the famine every day.
One had to know that it was written in books that starving people would exchange their children for food. When people were about to starve to death, they even dared to eat people. There was nothing that they could not do.
However, in this era, many people did not have enough to eat or warm their clothes. They even starved to death and froze to death. The entire country was extremely weak due to the lack of resources, but the entire country did not have any major chaos.
If this was overseas, it would definitely be chaotic. They had already started the zero-yuan shopping activity.
Ye Shan suddenly understood that the country had done the right thing in a certain aspect to make the people trust him more. As long as such a country did not act foolishly, it would definitely become strong. This was because the people of this country were more able to endure hardship.
After dinner, Ye Shan went to read a few books. After reading a few books, he wanted to make a wheelchair.
The weather was getting hotter. Although Mrs. Ye was weak, she couldn't stay under the blanket for long. Even though she had massaged Mrs. Ye, she couldn't just stay in the room like this. With a wheelchair, Mrs. Ye would be able to get some sunlight.
Making a wheelchair was naturally much simpler than making a man-powered tricycle. He could use a big chair as the main body, then attach two bicycle wheels, two small auxiliary wheels in front, and finally add the brakes and handles. After modifying the details and aesthetics, a wheelchair would be completed.
With the experience of driving a rickshaw, Ye Shan spent about two days to make a wheelchair.
"Mom, come, I'll push you out for a walk.”Ye Shan pushed the wheelchair to Mrs. Ye's bed and smiled." Breathing in the fresh air and basking in the sun is good for your health."”
Mrs. Ye had been lying on the brick bed for so long that she had long wanted to go out and take a look. Looking at the wheelchair that her son had made for her, she was so touched that her heart ached. With Ye Shan's help, he slowly sat in the wheelchair.
"Mom, what do you think of sitting down? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Ye Shan asked.
"The chair is a little cold."
Cold. Oh right, not only was it a little cold, it should also be a little hard. This chair was made of boxwood. There was no other way now. He placed the pillow on top of it. He let Mrs. Ye sit on the pillow. This way, it wouldn't be too cold or hard. He would buy some materials tomorrow and sew a few cushions and pillows.
Pushing Mrs. Ye still attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard house. Everyone was curious about this kind of chair with wheels.
"Shan, your chair with wheels is really not bad!" Second Uncle laughed. Good idea, well done." His attitude was really like a leader encouraging his subordinates.
Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao also pushed the door open and saw Ye Shan pushing Mrs. Ye in a wheelchair. They all felt that this kind of thing was novel and practical. In some aspects, it was really not inferior to a man-powered tricycle.
"Shan, your craftsmanship is not inferior to your culture at all," said Xu Damao. After all, he was a child prodigy and an intellectual. This vision and thinking were not something that ordinary people could catch up to.”
Lou Xiao'e also said,"Yes, he's smart, sensible, and filial." You're really something. Auntie Ye will be living a good life in the future.”
Second Uncle also chimed in,"Then after you use it, I think you're enjoying life now."?In the future, I'll be satisfied if my eldest son is half as filial as Shan Wazi.”
Xu Damao didn't say anything. After all, this person's filial piety was very weak. The children of the Second and Third Grandfathers were mostly on par with Xu Damao in terms of filial piety. However, there was a reason for the unfilial behavior of these two families. After all, the two elders did not educate and treat them well. Xu Damao was different. His parents treated him well. In this aspect, the children of the second and third grandfathers were a little better than Xu Damao.
"The Master said: Those who love their parents dare not be evil to others, and those who respect their parents dare not be disrespectful to others…Therefore, those who do not love their parents but love others are called perverse; Those who do not respect their parents and respect others are called disrespectful.”Ye Shan suddenly said something from the Book of Filial Piety and glanced at the three of them with a strange gaze.
Second Uncle was only a primary school student, so he didn't understand at all. He didn't even hear it clearly. Xu Damao also didn't seem like someone who had read the Book of Filial Piety. He hadn't even heard of it. However, he was smart enough to know that this was a famous phrase from the ancient times. The general idea was that it was about filial piety. However, he had no idea what it meant.
However, Xu Damao was smart. Although he didn't understand, he smiled and looked at Ye Shan with admiration.
Lou Xiao'e was, after all, a lady from a wealthy family and had read many books. After thinking for a while, he smiled confidently. For a moment, he was actually charming. That kind of confident and generous charm was vividly displayed on that exquisite goose egg face, making Xu Damao look even more wretched.
She said,"A gentleman should be filial to his parents, so loyalty can be transferred to the monarch." Serve the elder brother, so obedience can be transferred to the elder brother... When you go forward, think of loyalty, when you retreat, think of making up for your mistakes, obey the good and correct the bad, so the upper and lower can be close to each other.”She also said a few sentences from the Book of Filial Piety. Her enunciation was clear, and it was obvious that she remembered them very well. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Damao strangely. This gaze really had that kind of taste.
Mm, not bad, this was Lou Xiao'e.
However, the second uncle was a little disinterested. He was not interested in cultural matters at all. He was really embarrassed to ask what they were talking about. He muttered something and turned around to return to the house. The smile on Xu Damao's face froze. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He felt that their gazes were a little strange, as if they were implying something about him. It made him feel that something was wrong.
Ye Shan smiled, waved his hand, and pushed Mrs. Ye away. After they left, Mrs. Ye asked what they were talking about. Ye Shan smiled and explained the contents of the Filial Piety Classic to his mother."The person who wrote the Book of Filial Piety is definitely not an ordinary person.”
Ye Shan was in a good mood. He pushed his mother slowly while explaining that the Book of Filial Piety was one of the thirteen Confucian classics, a political and ethical work of the ancient Han people in the Dragon Kingdom. It wasn't written by a single person. It was the last words of Confucius and his disciples. After thousands of years of development, filial piety had been integrated into the culture of the entire Dragon Country. It was the most important and primitive virtue. It had already been integrated into the soul of the Dragon Country and could not be changed.
No matter how much foreign culture it was influenced by, filial piety would always be a traditional virtue that could not be changed. Although there were too many unfilial people in the future, they were not much better than the unfilial sons of this courtyard house.
Ye Shan's small body pushed the wheelchair out of the courtyard house slowly. The sound of the wheelchair creaking and Mrs. Ye's occasional smile traveled far away.
