Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 172 Dad, This Is Your Task

When Shen Shi and Song Nian woke up, the snow in the yard was swept into a pile, but you can also tell how much snow has fallen by looking at the height.

Song Nian took a deep breath of the snow-washed air, and said with emotion:
"With such heavy snow, you shouldn't have to go to school, right?"

Shen nodded subconsciously, but felt that something was wrong. It would be understandable if the words were said by the three children. What did my husband say?

She pushed Song Nian reproachfully:
"Okay, since you're not going to Zheng's house, let's go to work, go and wake up the two sons first, and watch them wear thicker clothes."

Song Ce and Song Zhen are older, and they have begun to pay attention to their appearance. The specific embodiment is that no matter how hot the summer is, they have to wear several layers to show "a gentleman", and no matter how cold it is in winter, they can't wear more. .

For Xia Tian, ​​Shen didn't bother to care about it. In her words, "When the heat comes out, you know it's not proper".

It’s not good in winter. I often have to stand in front of the gate of the two brothers’ yard and check the clothes they are wearing layer by layer. Only when they are qualified can they go out.

In the past, Mrs. Shen was considerate of her husband's hard work in studying and didn't let him do this kind of grueling work. Since he doesn't go to school, let the three of them fight wits and courage.

Song Nian was completely unaware of the difficulties involved, and was eager to get close to his sons, but after a while, his distraught voice came:

"Song Ce, who are you bluffing? Is that the clothes I asked you to wear? Take it off and put it on again!"

"Song Zhen, does your father look like an idiot? The clothes are thinner than what you wore yesterday. Do you think they changed into thick clothes?"

Shen stood at the door and listened for a while, couldn't help giggling, decided not to get involved in their father and son's affairs, and decided to go see the mother-in-law and daughter.

She went back to the room and took a thick woolen cloak to wear on her body. After thinking about it, she took some money from the money box and was going to ask someone to buy some mutton and angelica to cook soup, and then she closed the door and left.

Song Yun was sitting on the couch with her hands on her chin in a daze at this time, while Bai Zhi was sewing beside her. Knowing that it was impossible to go to Zhao's house again under such heavy snow, she simply ignored her.

After all, this little master of my family has experienced such a situation every once in a while, frowning with a serious face, I don't know what I was thinking, and I figured it out after a while.

Song Yun felt that she was worried about the fate of the proletariat, but the people who saw it really didn't think so. Anyway, when Shen came in and saw her, she couldn't help pinching Song Yun's fleshy face that was held up by her hands.

Song Yun was taken aback, and when she fixed her eyes on Shen Shi, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Is it too late? What time is it?"

Shen suddenly felt very disobedient. Why did the serious person who should hurry up to study say "you don't need to go to school", but the daughter who is not so serious is so active?
"You don't need to go today, it's snowing a lot outside."

Eh?Yes, she has forgotten that although there were no direct winter and summer vacations in ancient times, they would still have holidays when the weather was bad or when crops needed to be harvested. I am afraid that I may not be willing to work in the fields.

Song Yun was dragged out of bed by Shen Shi, and Bai Zhi quickly came over and put on her shoes. These were the little leather boots that Song Ru made for her when she was still at home last year. The insides were thick fur, and Song Yun wore them to walk around. took two steps and sadly found:

The shoes are too small.

What a waste, she only wore it for one winter.

Seeing that Song Yun's expression was wrong, Shen quickly asked:
"What's the matter? The shoes are not easy to wear?"

nod nod.

Compared with Song Yun's height, Shen's was indeed a bit taller than last winter, and it's normal for her shoes to be small. She turned her head and asked Bai Zhi:
"Any other shoes? Thicker ones."

"Yes, I haven't worn the ones I made this year."

Song Yun sat on the bed and let Bai Zhi change her shoes. She looked at the replaced pair of shoes with some reluctance. The main reason was that these shoes were really precious. Someone in Tianjia Village hunted a fox, and Tian Fu and the others bought it. The skin was removed, and then given to the Song family.

Because there is only one piece of leather, it is impossible to make a big one, so in the end it was spliced ​​into a pair of boots and distributed to Song Yun.

Fox, although she was a little bit reluctant to wear this kind of shoes at first, it smells really good after wearing them, and they are indeed warm.

The Song family's wealth is not enough to support them to buy a pile of fur every year for the winter, most of which are cotton-padded clothes, sheepskin and rabbit skin products, making Song Yun's shoes even more precious.

Shen smiled and said:

"If you like it, keep it."

Song Yun shook his head:

"Let's see what relatives need and give them away, otherwise it will be a waste."

After breakfast, Song Jun went to Song Nian's study and continued to be in a daze. She didn't say anything, but her eyes were still fixed on Song Nian. Even though he knew that his daughter was completely empty, he still felt uncomfortable. Can't help but ask:

"Sister Yun, what's the matter with you? If there's something bothering you, let me hear it."

Although the words sound good, Song Yun can still see the smile in his eyes.

She snorted and accused:
"You must think what I'm thinking is stupid."

The corner of Song Nian's mouth curled, but he still retorted:
"No, you kids have a rather novel way of thinking about things. It's not stupid. Anyway, I don't think it's stupid."

Song Yun thought for a while, and asked her own question:
"Father, it's snowing, and many people must have froze to death. I just think...there's no shortage of money, is there?"

Song Nian was silent for a while, and then said:

"There is no way around this. There are many places where money is needed, and it is not clear from our position."

This is true, Song Yun sighed, in fact, she is not such a kind person, seeing others are poor and working hard, she will feel that I am also working hard, and I have no spare energy to help you.

But when she heard that people were frozen to death or crushed to death, and that the abilities she possessed might be able to help them, but they didn't, she would feel a little burdened in her heart.

Song Nian actually doesn't know why this daughter pays attention to these things. It seems that since the heavy snow in Liyang County last year, she went home and said, "Someone is freezing to death", and then she would ask these things from time to time.

He thought about himself, it seems that he didn't start to think about these things until he was in his teens and learned a lot of principles of caring for farmers and people, but most of the time he still prefers to pay attention to his own life.

This daughter probably has a very good heart.

Song Nian finally promised:

"I can't control what your lord and county magistrate will do, but I assure you that if you become a parent officer in the future, I will try to make some efforts and order you to be my teacher, okay?" it is good?"

"It's a poverty alleviation worker."

Song Nian thought the name was a bit strange, so did she invent an official for herself at a young age?

Song Yun rubbed her face, feeling that she was a little too sentimental this morning, she was only seven years old, how could she manage so much!

She seriously asked Song Nian:

"Father, you have to work hard. You don't want to be a high-ranking official. Just be a county magistrate. It's up to you whether you can realize the 'great shelter for the world's poor and happy people'."

Then she ran away easily and handed over the first step of the task to Song Nian.

Song Nian was so troubled that he couldn't even read the book anymore, thinking:
When I take the imperial examination, don’t I just want to enshrine my wife and support my mother?When is it necessary to go to the "Great Shelter for All the Poor People in the World"?Even the emperor can't do it.
