Chapter 86 Surprised
Yang Xi thanked Mrs. Zhao for the chair that she brought, and signaled that she wanted to stand for a while after sitting for a long time. She walked up to Mrs. Sun and replied, "I've been busy recently. I'll continue teaching when the house is built."

Mr. Sun asked, "I heard that the foundation of the house has been laid, and the construction of the house has already begun?"

Because of the corvée, I didn't have the heart to care about the Zhou family. It was rare for Mrs. Yang to come out today, just to chat.

Yang Xi nodded, "The construction has already started, and it will be completed in about half a month. You can move in and live when you go to dehumidify and release the smell."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun said, "Doesn't serving corvée affect the construction of the house?"

Yang Xi explained, "A family only has one strong laborer to serve corvée, and each family in the village has several strong laborers, which does not affect the construction of the house."

Sun thinks about the unbuilt yard at home. He has been busy buying adobe and lumber these days. Today, the head of the family took his two sons to the village to hire people. "We use adobe to build a yard, and it will take about seven or eight days to build."

Yang Xi asked, "Have you bought enough adobe?"

The smile on Mrs Sun's thin face deepened, "Enough is enough, the big village is good, it's easy to buy adobe."

Yang Xi asked when to start construction again, knowing that it will start tomorrow, "Is there any squeaks that need help."

Mrs. Sun had the intention to take advantage, but did not dare. The head of the family gave a stern warning, shook his head and said, "It's ready, thank you for your concern."

Yang Xi walked in the yard for a while, feeling that it was almost done, and returned to the house with his bouncing son.

In the room, Liu Ke was calculating the topic. Liu Ke brought his own pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He needed to record the accounts, and the numbers needed more practice. Those who kept the accounts clean and tidy were also comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the corvée was registered. The Zhou family lived in the town, and Liu Lizheng brought the yamen in person. After the registration, Liu Lizheng did not rush to leave.

Liu Lizheng asked, "Can I listen for a while?"

Yang Xi, "."

This is a bright class, and they can't send people away. They bring the yamen here in person. The yamen was very polite when registering, and it was Liu Lizheng's face.

Zhou Yu said concisely, "Yes."

Liu Lizheng grabbed his son's pen, glanced at his son's more attractive words, was very satisfied, and stroked his beard, ignoring the younger son's eyes when he asked for a pen.

Zhou Yu won't tell Liu Lizheng again, Liu Lizheng understands as much as possible.

Liu Lizheng's age was much better than his son's. He was surprised that there was still such an easy way to calculate.

Zhou Bing put down the book in his hand and stared at Liu Lizheng from the corner of his eye. He felt that his knowledge was still lacking!

At noon, Liu Lizheng knew that the Zhou family had three meals, and sent his son to buy roast chicken and some snacks.

Liu Lizheng, "Add a few more dishes."

Zhou Yu couldn't laugh at the bottom of his eyes. It was the first time he was willing to spend money when he saw this old man grabbing money these days, "You always talk straight."

To prevent the vegetables from entering his stomach, he should not be able to do it.

Liu Lizheng tutted twice in his heart, which was too cautious, "It's nothing, I'll just ask Mr., can the simple algorithm that my younger son learnt be passed on to his second brother?"

He has five sons, and it is too difficult to balance a bowl of water. The eldest son is an inheritance and has been valued by him since he was a child. The second and third sons are ignored. The fourth son has his own brains. Learned the ability of my relatives to concoct medicinal materials.

The younger son, the older one, naturally suffers from partial pain.

This time, the younger son was sent to study, but the second son didn't say anything, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it.

Zhou Yu's mind changed, "Your second son is doing well?"

Liu Lizheng, "My old novel?"

"No, I guess."

Liu Lizheng, "."

So easy to guess?
Zhou Yu hugged his son and sat in his arms, holding his son's fatter hand, "You can only give it to your second son, and you can't teach it to others."

Liu Lizheng still wants his son to teach his grandson!

Zhou Yu said his thoughts: "When the house is built, I'm going to open a school in the village to teach children to read and count. If you always trust me, you can send your children to study."

Liu Lizheng was stunned, frowning, "Does Mr. have a reputation?"

At least it must be Tongsheng, the private schools in the town are all run by scholars.

Zhou Yu, "No, I will send it if you trust me."

He doesn't force his children to study. This is the difference between the north and the south. In Jiazhou, he came here after saying that he would not ask too much about teaching. In the south, there were two scholars from one Shanghe village, and there was a private school in the town. There are only three, and there are many choices to compare. He belongs to the undocumented and no one recognizes it.

Why is there no private school in Shanghe Village, because Xiucai moved to the town to live.

Liu Lizheng listened to a class, and knew that Mr. Zhou had great ability, but the people believed in his fame, and he thought that no one would believe it, and his family could make a fortune, "I naturally believe Mr.

Mr. Zhou can teach his younger brother to take the Tongsheng exam, and he must not be bad.

In the afternoon, Liu Li was drinking, and Liu Ke went back with him. Come back tomorrow.

In the evening, Yang Xi prepared Zhou Yu's luggage for the corvée service in advance, changed clothes, and lived in the Datong shop for the corvage service. Even if the settlement conditions were better, it would not be much better, and the quilt should be brought.

Yang Xi stared at Zhou Yu's hair, Zhou Yu felt uncomfortable, "What's wrong with my hair?"

Yang Xi asked worriedly, "Will you get lice in your hair when you come back?"

Zhou Yu, "!!"

This is a good question. They had never been in contact with refugees before going south, and they were careful not to catch lice.

The corvée are very messy. There are not many people who take a bath in winter, and many people are infected with lice. Every household has a grate and uses it to comb their hair!
Zhou Yu didn't want to go to corvée, thinking about his scalp made him feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help raising his hand and scratching.

Yang Xi's scalp is also numb. A person is infected with lice, and the family can't be spared. "I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow to buy some powder for you to bring."

Zhou Yu, "Okay."

The dam began to be repaired at the junction of Xiang County, which is a little far from the town, and he can commute when he is close.

In the blink of an eye, the days of corvée service, there are no yamen officers to pick you up, all go by yourself. If you are in good conditions, you will be sent by ox carts. If you have no conditions, you can walk on one foot.

Yang Xi was not at ease, she and Yang San personally sent Zhou Yu to serve corvée, Liu Li was coming with an ox cart, and the two went together.

The journey from Yangzhen to the dam was nearly an hour. The dam at the junction of Xiangxian County was repaired first. It was not too early for their group to arrive, and the people of the nearby village had already arrived.

Yang Xi saw the men serving corvée lining up in a long line, and the yamen in front registered according to their names to confirm whether anyone escaped corvée.

Yang Xi didn't get off the carriage, and Liu Li was taking Zhou Yu and Liu Ke to find his cousin. Yang Xi noticed that more and more people who were serving corvée were coming here on the road.

It's shocking to see up close.

After a while, Zhou Yu came back, Liu Lizheng had a strange look on his face, and Zhou Yu's eyes were full of surprise.

Yang Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

 It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and there will be more updates on the shelves. I am worried, so I ask for the first order~~~~~~
