Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1240 They Are Worth It In This Life
After breakfast the next day, Fang Xiaofu went to the courtyard to see how everyone was learning how to make new styles, and brought Lin Sen back.

Tang Si had already carried a small basket and followed Fang Zizhan and the others to pick oranges and dates in the orchard. Fang Xiaofu went around directly. When Tang Ming saw the tree full of yellow-skinned oranges, he immediately pointed and shouted excitedly. stand up.

"Flower! Flower!"

"Baby, that's not a flower, that's an orange! It's a fruit!" Fang Xiaofu immediately corrected him.

"Guoguo! Guoguo!"

Faced with the little guy's excitement, Fang Xiaofu laughed helplessly, but he didn't dare to put him down, lest he run forward by himself.The orange and jujube trees have many caterpillars.

Tang Si, who was carrying the oranges without fear of hardship and fatigue, saw them coming, and immediately ran over and gave her an orange: "Auntie! Oranges are sweet! Eat them!"

"Thank you, Si'er, you've worked hard!" Fang Xiaofu smiled and took the oranges. Tang Si and Lin Sen both went to help, picking up the fallen oranges and putting them into the basket.

Fang Xiaofu hugged Tang Ming and walked a little further away, and began to peel the oranges to eat.At this time, the oranges are ripe, and they are indeed very sweet. A few days ago, several trucks were transported to restaurants to serve fruit plates for guests.

However, although they planted a lot of fruit trees in the fruit forest of their family, they can be eaten in spring, summer and autumn, but the number of each variety is not too much.Just like jujubes, there are only two big jujube trees, which are really grown for their own food.

After half an hour, they picked up a few baskets and got down.

Tang Si and Lin Sen couldn't lift the basket for a long time, Fang Zizhan gave them half a basket of oranges to carry, and the two who were a little depressed immediately cheered up and walked ahead with great energy.

Fang Xiaofu also carried a basket of dates, took Tang Ming with the other hand, and followed everyone home.

Fang Zijian used a pole to pick up a basket full of dates.Fang Ziyuan and Fang Zizhan each carried a large pannier on their backs, and each carried two small panniers filled with oranges.

This is why they have practiced martial arts for this year to have such strength to walk easily. If it was a year ago, they would not have the strength to carry so many things.

When they got home, they quickly divided the oranges and dates into small baskets. Fang Zijian took two baskets to Shijiapo, and then took the representative of the workers to Wuziqiu.

Fang Zizhan took six baskets and drove Fang Xiaofu and the others to Daliu Village in a carriage. First, he put two baskets for his grandmother's house, then went to Beiji Village for two baskets for the old grandmother's house, and two baskets for Ji Chen's house. The representative of the family to do the work took Wuziqiu back.

Fang Ziyuan was not idle either, he also drove his little sisters to Wuziqiu in a carriage, and they concentrated on teaching.In Fangshan Village, there are wives from Lin and Zhu's family. What's more, Fang Xiaofu has taught many people yesterday.

On this day, they all stayed at Wuziqiu. The three brothers played with Tang Si, Tang Ming and Lin Sen, together with Liu Zehua and Liu Zexi. It was very lively.

And Fang Xiaofu also joined the teaching team, which can improve a lot of efficiency.They have been busy at Wuziqiu until evening before having dinner at the second grandfather's house.

The second patriarch also invited the patriarchs and elders over for a drink. After three glasses of wine, everyone felt more emotional. He said that being able to sit with the three Juren was worthwhile in their lives.

Fang Xiaofu laughed immediately, saying that there were several Juren in Daliu Village this time, except for two people with other surnames, the rest were all from the Liu family.

When she told her, the second grandpa and patriarch grandpa all burst into smiles. The Liu family is doing better now, and there are more scholars.

After knowing that Fang Zijian and Fang Ziyuan were going to Beijing in two days, the second grandpa immediately asked the eldest son to get the bank note, saying that last year their boy went to the capital, and everyone settled down on the house in Xiao Rui's hand. no money...

"I'll ask you to help me buy this first. Next year, let those who won the exams and those who didn't win the exams go to the capital to study, and also see the world under the feet of the emperor. No matter where they go to be officials in the future, they won't just be farmers. .”

The second grandpa handed the 5000 taels of silver bills to Fang Zijian, and said with emotion on his face, "I bought the house, but I still need to maintain it and arrange people to look after it. You can directly decide on this."

Fang Zijian hastily declined, saying that anyway, everyone will go to Beijing next year, so they can buy together at that time, and now the others haven't paid for it, and the house is still in Xiaorui's hands.

"Since you decide to buy it, you should pay for it as soon as possible. If you keep it in other people's hands, you still have to bear the cost of maintenance. I don't know how much money it will cost a year..." At this time, the patriarch, Grandpa Zu, also spoke.

"That's right, we have to bear the cost of buying it here. I heard from the boys that Xiaorui was a righteous man. This house was sold to us at a loss, so we can't let him pay for it anymore."

The second grandfather insisted on giving the money earlier.

"Then keep it, and find some people to move in and look after the house. If someone looks at the house, it won't cost much to maintain it." Fang Xiaofu said upon seeing this.

"After the New Year's Eve next year, let's go to Beijing together. At that time, there will be more exams in Beijing. You can also see, feel, and learn from the excellence of others."

"Although you can't go to Taixue if you don't pass the exam, Mr. Wen lives not far away, and Mr. Changle will come to visit from time to time. It's okay to ask them for advice."

Hearing what Fang Xiaofu said, the second grandpa nodded excitedly, and said with a smile: "That's a good thing, next spring is a good opportunity for them to see the world!"

This year is a new Enke, and the test time is in late March, but the normal test time is one month earlier, so if you want to go to Beijing to catch up with the test, you will be leaving after the Chinese New Year. To go.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient. Many people are delayed on the road and lose the opportunity to take the exam. Some people fall ill on the way. It is considered good to be able to return home alive.

Therefore, for scholars to take the imperial examination, it is not just as simple as taking the exam. The travel, lodging, and place of residence along the way are very important, and even who they meet and make friends with in the capital is also very important.

The Liu family spent 5000 taels of silver to buy a house in the capital, not for the sake of wealth, but for long-term planning, for the students of the Liu family who are studying.

In Wenjiaji Town, the Liu family still has a place, it is famous far and near, and no one can bully it, but in the capital, it is nothing, so it is safe to be with the Fang family and the Shi family.

With Mr. Wen taking care of them, they can really feel at ease when they are elders.It is worth looking forward to how far the official career can go. What they care more about is that the boys can live a good and healthy life.

Everyone talked about the affairs of the capital again. After eating and drinking tea, the three brothers took Fang Xiaofu and the others to say goodbye and go home.
