The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 1048 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (43)

Now Lizheng has a lot of money in his hands. In addition to the 400 taels rewarded by the county magistrate, after the ducks laid eggs last year, he also made a lot of money selling salted duck eggs in the town. Two more, pay some money to build a school for the enlightenment of the children in the village, he has long wanted to do it.

As a result, Lin Xiyun became a serious teacher in Liangwa Village, with a stable income of [-] Wen per month.

Sanya's marriage has also been settled smoothly,

At first, Mrs. Xu disagreed desperately, thinking that the Lin family was poor, so Xu Yin asked lightly, "How rich is old Xu's family?"

Mrs. Xu is afraid that her second granddaughter will die. Although she has lost weight and looks less fierce than before, I heard that she has the favor of the county magistrate and has become a handkerchief with the magistrate's wife. Offending no one dared to offend this granddaughter, muttered a few words, and watched Sanya marry the son of the Lin family. pain.

Until Xu Sanqiu was forced by Xu Yin to learn a lot of words this year, he found a job in a bookstore in the town. Although he was just a waiter, he received customers who came to buy books and helped them find the books they wanted. , but there are five hundred cash per month, including board and lodging, which is much easier than planing food in the ground. If you work hard in the future, you may be able to be a small shopkeeper. This makes Mrs. Xu feel much more at ease.

According to Xu Yin, working in a bookstore is better than growing watermelons at home.But Mrs. Xu and the others don't think so, so they can only let them be happy.

Sanya married her sweetheart, Xu Sanqiu's job was fulfilled, and the other brothers of her natal family also learned to grow watermelons under her guidance. Xu Yin became the backbone of a group of brothers and sisters, who used to shy away from her, but now Everyone likes to talk to her.

After Mrs. Xu was happy that her grandson had found a job in the town, she turned around and realized that she could no longer handle these grandchildren... she was very depressed.

On the old Cui's side, Cui Jikang has been going to the town school to study since this year.

Xu Yin saw that he had a talent for reading, and Lin Xiyun also said repeatedly that if this kid studies hard, he will definitely have a sense of accomplishment in his official career.Xu Yin consulted her uncle's opinion and sent him to study.Cui Shi was not willing to pay the money, so she came out.

Cui was full of displeasure, and said to her youngest son: "Your sister-in-law is uneasy and kind, and now she is helping you to study. You will have a good future in the future, and she will definitely rely on you, and she will make you pay three or five times the repair fee. What a pity you There will be no news of my little sister going to the capital, otherwise she will tell you, she will not be like your sister-in-law..."

"Mother, sister-in-law said that I don't need to pay back the money, as long as I study hard and follow the right path."

"She must say that now, but who knows in the future... Besides, you are going to study, third child, what about the fields at home? Your second brother married a wife and forgot your mother, so you have the heart to plant so much land at home by yourself?"

Cui was desperate when she thought about it, and regretted separating the eldest family.

Even if the eldest daughter-in-law is lazy and does not work, the eldest son is very diligent. Looking at his family's many lands, except for hiring help during busy farming seasons, he usually does it alone. The hob meat daughter-in-law knows how to be lazy.

Cui Jikang also heard the meaning at this moment, and his expression was lost: "Mother, you are not worried about what my sister-in-law will do to me in the future, but you are worried that I will go to school and no one will farm at home, right?"

Cui muttered: "This is the truth."

"Mother, don't worry, I will go home when the farming is busy. Usually, if my mother is too busy, I can hire someone to help. Now that the production is high, the increased income of a few stones of grain will be used as compensation. Many people are willing to help."

"..."

Finished!

The youngest son is divorced from himself!
Cui knew that she shouldn't send her youngest son to the elder son's home to learn how to read and write.

Now she is very much looking forward to her little daughter returning to her hometown in full glory, to support herself when she comes back.

It's hard for her alone!Can't beat the hob meat daughter-in-law!
Three years later--

"Good news! Good news! The new emperor is enthroned and Enke is here!"

"Really?"

"That's still fake! There are notices posted at the gate of the city!"

A group of students rushed to tell each other.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, several new policies that were beneficial to the people were implemented. The first thing to bear the brunt was to eliminate a group of moths in the official ranks who were not productive and took credit.

Zhou Zhihai, who was promoted through the new retting method, was the first to bear the brunt.

Other officials also picked up a lot.

As a result, fewer people are available.

So this Enke was opened.

Cui Jikang was preparing to go home with his book bag on his back. The busy farming season was about to come, and he wanted to go home to help with the autumn harvest.

"Brother Cui, have you heard? There is a notice posted outside the gate of the county seat. The new emperor is enthroned, and Enke will be opened for students from all over the world. We don't have to wait two years, we can take the rural examination this year!"

"That's right, Ji Kang, why are you still going home? Stay in the academy and study hard to take the provincial examination!"

Cui Jikang hesitated and said: "I don't know whether to apply for this year, I have to discuss it with my family first."

"What are you discussing! Opening Enke is equal to multiple opportunities. You passed No.3 in the county examination. Thirty of us are planning to apply for the township examination. Are you still hesitating?"

"Yeah, brother Cui, Enke doesn't happen very often. Maybe we will meet this once in our life. The new emperor gave us this opportunity, let's try it. Even if we fail the exam, we can still find our own shortcomings. After two years Going to take the exam will also give you more confidence. If you win, wouldn't you save two years of time?"

"Oh, forget it, Brother Cui may think that he is still young, and it will be too late for another two years. Unlike us..."

"It's also..."

In the eyes of his classmates who were either regretful, puzzled, or felt that they had lost a competitor, Cui Jikang trudged back to Dawa Village with his book bag on his back.

He knew that his mother would definitely disapprove of him going to the state capital to take part in the township examination. Firstly, it would cost a lot of money on the way, and secondly, it was the autumn harvest, and the family was waiting for him to go back to help.

In the past three years, he has seen what his mother meant: it is fine to study, as long as she doesn't ask her for money, and doesn't delay the work in the field, he can study as he pleases.

Even though he was admitted as a scholar and exempted the family from taxes for two people, her mother was happy when she returned home, and everyone praised him, but she still felt that studying should not delay the work in the field, and she had to come back to help the family collect food during busy farming.Always worried that if he fails the exam?Don't you have to come back to work?

It's not that he doesn't want to work, as long as there is no time conflict, he is happy to go home to participate in the summer and autumn harvests.

Looking at the harvest scene, I always feel that all the hard work is worth it.

But the township examination is only a few days after the autumn harvest. If he goes home for the autumn harvest, he will not be able to prepare for the examination.Even if you don't participate this time, you will still face this problem two years later.How should he say "mother" to agree to him to take the exam?

"Ji Kang?"

Xu Yin carried her five-month-old son to order tofu at Mrs. Wang’s house at the entrance of the village. She saw her uncle walking slowly, with his head drooping, as if some problem was bothering him.

"Why are you back at this time? Have you had lunch yet?"

It was already past lunch time, Xu Yin looked at him, he didn't look like he had eaten, he must have left the academy very early, hesitated on the road for a long time, his face was blushing.
