After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 12
Shen Jingcheng was slightly stiffened by her look, thinking he said something wrong, hesitantly asked: "What's wrong?"

"Do you want to study?" Gu Jin said and began to think seriously: "Then next year we will open up more land, and we will get a loom when the grain is harvested in autumn, so that I can pay for your studies. The imperial examination is very expensive. For silver, we don’t have enough silver now.”

Shen Jingcheng didn't expect that Gu Jin would misunderstand that he wanted to read a book when he asked about buying books. Thinking of the disgusted look in her eyes when she looked at Song Lao Er in her previous life, she quickly denied it: "No, I..."

"Study is good," Gu Jin continued without waiting for him to finish, "People with fame are more respected than those without fame, and even if you don't take the test for fame, you won't be easily deceived when you go out after reading. "

At first Shen Jingcheng wanted to say that he didn't want to study, but after listening to it, he became quiet.

"You... don't you dislike scholars?" Shen Jingcheng asked tentatively.

"No, I just don't like people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth after studying for two years." Gu Jin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you are a scholar or not."

Shen Jingcheng immediately felt relieved when he heard the words. He thought that Gu Jinhui would have a prejudice against scholars because of Song's second son, but it turned out he didn't.

"Then I'll give it a try? But I don't know if I have the brains to read. Why don't you teach me how to read first? If it's okay, next year I will find a way to open up enough wasteland for reading to grow food, so you don't have to work so hard every day." Weaving for me, if I don’t have that brain, it’s fine, the words you know are enough for us, we don’t need to spend extra money to go to private school.” With no burden in his heart, Shen Jingcheng felt very relaxed when he said these things.

To be honest, he used to want to be literate, but he used to be alone, and he was only eight years old when he immigrated. It is not easy to be able to grow up with enough food and clothing. He didn't have the energy to think about reading at all. Now he has the opportunity , of course to grasp.

"Okay, then I will teach you how to read first, and if you learn to read in the future, you will also teach me when you come back." Gu Jin saw that he suddenly seemed to be full of vitality, and his brows and eyes were crooked with a smile.

"Okay, teach you, I will be your teacher."

"Um……"

The two of them discussed each other and walked to the side of the bullock cart. After Shen Jingcheng put away all the books and papers, he carried Gu Jin into the bullock cart, and when she sat down by the shaft, he stood beside the cart and Resting his cheek on her knee, he raised his head and continued talking to her.

Gu Jin was sitting by the shaft of the car, shaking his legs nonchalantly, while lowering his head and listening to him with a smile on his face.

The winter sun shone on the two of them, making them feel warm.

The people who came out after shopping looked at this scene, and they all couldn't help smiling. They just felt that the relationship between the children was really good.

Gu Changping watched this scene but was very silent. He always felt that the farm tools in his hands were hot, but he finally put the farm tools on the bullock cart.

After all, in the future, they will always look down and see the folks who look up. Shen Jingcheng generously asked people to put all the farm tools in the car, which saved them from having to carry them back home.

After leaving the iron shop, because Gu Changping and a few people wanted to visit the horse market, Shen Jingcheng took a group of people to the horse market again.

In addition to Gu Changping who bought the calf he wanted here, there was another person who bought a mature cow for 13 taels of silver, and the others set foot on the way home after being addicted to their eyes.

Back in Shisanhu Village, a group of women and children saw the cattle and farm tools brought back by the crowd, and they were all smiling. It was at this moment that Shen Jingcheng climbed into the bullock cart and shouted loudly.

"In the spring of next year, if anyone gives me a day's work, I will give them a day's work. People who want to do it can come to my house to sign up. The number of places is limited, and those who sign up first will be given priority."

His voice was clear and loud, and the people who went to the county with him and bought farm tools were just startled and didn't pay much attention.

After all, most of them have bought plow pears. Although it will be harder for people to pull the plow, two days of work is definitely more than that of cattle in one day. The beginning of spring is a good time to open up wasteland, so they are naturally unwilling to work for others.

What's more, Shen Jingcheng's ox is only two years old, and he doesn't know how much land he can plow in a day, so don't lose more than gain.

No one cared about the people who went with them, but the eyes of the three people who didn't buy farm tools were brightened when they heard it, and one even ran over impatiently after hearing it.

"I, um, my family will work for you for two days, can you use it with the cattle and farm tools?" This is an honest man who is not tall, but he stumbled while saying a few words.

"Yes." Shen Jingcheng nodded.

"That, that..." The honest man immediately became excited when he heard it, and was interrupted by a sharp voice before he could finish his stammer.

"Aren't you stupid? The whole family only needs one day of cattle and farm tools for two days of work. It's not worthwhile for me to say that it's not worthwhile to use one day of cattle and farm tools for one day of work."

Shen Jingcheng followed the sound, and saw a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looking at him with his arms folded around his chest, and beside him was a tall man with hesitation in his eyes.

Shen Jingcheng didn't care about those two people, he just lowered his head and asked the honest man: "How about it, do you want to do it?"

The honest man looked at the two of them, muttered for a long time, unable to speak, and finally backed away.

Seeing this, the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and said to Shen Jingcheng: "My child, I will work for you for a day, how about two days of ox and tools?"

Shen Jingcheng was almost not laughed out of anger. He glanced at the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, jumped off the ox cart with his legs bent, and walked towards Shuanghu Village with the ox.

This man is playing him like a fool, he only uses cattle and farm tools for two days in one day, and he only talks about him, not his whole family, which is a good idea.

Originally, he wanted to reciprocate and benefit with these three companies, so forget it.

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was a little dumbfounded when he saw him leaving just like that. The tall man beside him and the honest man who came back were also dumbfounded.

Why are you still leaving? Shouldn't he bargain?

"Hmph, this kid knows that we don't have anything to do with us, and he doesn't think about who else has time to work for him except the three of us. Could it be that he still counts on his mother-in-law? Wait, sooner or later he will come to beg us .” The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said with confidence.

When the other two heard it made sense, they followed the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and turned back.

Although the guy surnamed Gu settled down with the guy for a sold girl, but they also saw along the way that the guy and the guy surnamed Gu didn't deal with it at all. It is impossible to help him much because of the size of the family. The boy's small body can't even reach the plow, so he might really have to come to them at that time.
