Aunt Fan is in charge of the kitchen, while Aunt Hong is adding firewood.

There were four dishes in total for lunch, braised chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs with loofah, stir-fried pork liver with radish soup, and kimchi. There were not many dishes, but each portion was very generous.

Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Fan to pack a portion of braised chicken nuggets, stir-fried pork liver with radish soup and scrambled loofah with eggs, and put them in a thermal tea bucket. The staple food was white rice, and asked Uncle Hong to bring them later.

She ate a small bowl of white rice, a few pieces of chicken, a few bites of pork liver, radish and eggs by herself, leaving the remaining vegetables for Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong's family to eat.

Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong took two bites and ate all the remaining vegetables. The staple food was a bowl of rice and sweet potatoes for each person. Although they were not completely full, they were still full. To them, the food was good enough.

After eating, Uncle Hong went to deliver food to Qin Fang.

Uncle Hong: "Madam, I delivered a meal to the master and passed by the foot of the mountain to pick up some firewood. However, it was not safe for the donkey cart to park at the foot of the mountain, so I wanted to take my wife with me. She was picking up firewood while I was picking up firewood. Guarding the donkey cart, do you see it?"

When Yang Haiyan heard it, she said, "녦뀪." It was absolutely 녦뀪, and 30 cents of firewood a month was saved. So, it’s good to have servants.

Baili Village

Qin Fang's hometown

Qin Tieniu was eight years old in the year 꺘굛 and was in the prime of life. The eldest son, Qin Fang, went to serve in the military at the age of six. Originally, it was him who should go. This matter is easy to say.

Grandpa Qin has a son and two daughters. The Qin family is a large family in Baili Village and does not have a family. Qin Tieniu is the eldest son. Logically speaking, because the Qin family does not have a family, the one who is eligible for military service will not be Qin Tieniu, the eldest son, nor Qin Fang, the eldest grandson. People who have a little bit of rules know that elders and grandsons are different.

However, there is an exception.

Qin's second uncle, Qin Erniu'er, was five years old at that time. As the saying goes, a child is still too young to have a father, so Qin's second uncle naturally did not serve in the military.

Then the only one left is Uncle Qin꺘, Qin꺘niu. Uncle Qin꺘 is the youngest, he got married last, and he didn’t have any children at that time. 땤Military service can lead to accidents at any time. Once an accident occurs, Uncle Qin will be dead.

So when Qin Erniu and Qin 꺘niu did not serve in the military, it was Qin Tieniu who died. 땤Qin Fang was worried about his father going to serve in the military, so he signed up secretly behind the back of his family. Once the quota for military service is signed up, it cannot be changed, so Grandpa Qin reluctantly let his eldest grandson go.

They originally prayed that after five years of military service, the eldest grandson would come back safely. Who knew that 꺘 years later, the eldest grandson would become a centurion and bring back 꺘taels of silver every year.

Grandpa Qin made the decision, and the eldest grandson brought back 1 tael of silver. One tael was given to Gongzhong, and the other two taels were kept by the eldest son. Regarding this, no matter what the second room and the first room think, they have to hold it back. After all, Qin Fang earns money by risking his life.

On this day, Grandpa Qin was busy in the fields with his son and daughter-in-law, and the family's little granddaughter came to call for help. The little granddaughter was Qin Fang's eight-year-old sister, named Qin Siya.

Qin Siya happily ran into the field. Before she could reach it, she shouted towards the field: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandma, come home quickly. My eldest brother has sent a letter and asked the official to bring a big package." return."

Although the Qin family does not have a family, the money they make in private is not handed over, so Qin Fang said it is true that his mother is the head of the eldest family.

After hearing this, Qin's mother immediately dropped her work and ran to the ground. Qin's mother was not a soft person. Originally, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin valued elders. Of course, they would not marry a soft person if they wanted to marry their elders. Qin's mother has a son and is a great contributor to the Qin family, so she is very confident and has a straight back. For this eldest daughter-in-law, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin both gave her face.

In addition, if Qin Fang is promising, they will value their eldest daughter-in-law even more.

When he heard the letter from his eldest grandson, Grandpa Qin was also anxious, but he was not like his eldest daughter-in-law who threw away her work and ran away. He said, "The day is over, come back with me." At first, every time the eldest grandson wrote a letter, they would Ask the boy in the village to read the letter. Last year, the eldest grandson sent me 2 taels of silver, saying that he would send his younger brother to study. He didn't say anything about taking the imperial examination. He just said that if he could read and write, he would have many camps in the future.

So, Qin Tieniu took the initiative and sent his two children at home to study with children in the village. Of course, the money came from the big house, and Qin Fang sent two taels of silver.

I don’t have a son in my room, so I don’t care about it. The second bedroom had a son, and he felt unhappy. However, the eldest bedroom had private money to send his son to school, so the second bedroom had nothing to do.

The two children are sent out every year, the eldest Qin Shouye, who is four years old in 꿷, and the younger Qin Shou, who is one year old in 꿷. Speaking of which, these two 놅 names were chosen after Qin Fang recognized the character 껣.

The Qin family is a peasant family and is not particular about names. When Qin Fang, the eldest grandson, came out, Grandpa Qin spent six copper coins and asked the village boy to help him choose a name.

However, Qin Shouye and Qin Shouyu now know a lot of words and can read letters.

By the time Grandpa Qin returned home with his people, Qin Shouye and Qin Shouyu had already returned from Tongyu's house.

Seeing everyone coming, Grandma Qin said happily: "This is what A Fang brought. It was a letter before, but this time it is a big package."

Qin Shou: "I don't know what brother brought. Grandma, please open the package and take a look."

Qin Shouye has a relatively calm personality. After his eldest brother went to serve in the military, he was the second eldest son. If his eldest brother had an accident, the family would have to rely on him, so he was taught to be very steady, while Qin Shouye was more lively. a little. Every family is like this. The elders have big worries, but the young ones are carefree.

The package was packed in a wooden box. After removing the seal and opening the wooden box, we saw the things inside. It must be said that everyone was shocked when they saw the things inside. Because this was the first time Qin Fang brought something over. Before, it was just letters, and even silver was only brought once at the end of last year. Why is there so much stuff this time? There is also cloth inside, this is really...

Second Aunt Qin: "Oh, didn't Fang get rich? From this point of view, military service is really good."

Mother Qin: "Military service is once every five years. If my second brother and his wife think it's good, let my second brother go next time." Her son is working hard. Even though there is no war now, what if there is a war? This sister-in-law will make sarcastic remarks.

Second Aunt Qin: "Aren't you forcing the head of the family? My Niu Dan is only 15 years old. What if he has an accident?"

"Shut up." Grandma Qin warned. Listen to this, is it okay if her eldest grandson has an accident? But on one side is the son and on the other side is the grandson, of course she doesn't want anything to happen to either side.

Grandpa Qin: "Shouye, you come and read the letter."

Qin Shouye: "Yes, Grandpa." He opened the letter, first poured out 10 taels of silver from the letter to Grandpa Qin, and then read the letter.

When he finished reading the letter, the Qin family was stunned.

Qin Shouye said, "...Here is another letter for our eldest wife. My sister-in-law said that we should read it in private."

Mother Qin's eyes turned red: "Is Afang married? Or is the court looking for a wife for him? It's great that she is educated and can read." She was originally worried that her son would be two years older, and he would not complete his five-year service until next month. When he returns, he will be twenty-one. How to find a wife? But she didn't expect that the court would find one for her son, so she was relieved.

When she heard in the letter that her daughter-in-law was educated and could read, and now she was teaching her son to read, she was very happy. You know, a girl who is educated and can read is amazing, and she is still so virtuous.

Qin Shouye: "This letter was written by my sister-in-law. She writes really well."

Grandma Qin had the same idea as Mother Qin. Now she doesn't have to worry about her eldest grandson's marriage. She is also very happy to have such a good grandson's wife. "Old man, according to what Afang's wife wrote in the letter, you have to buy these things."

Second Aunt Qin: "Mother, Niu Dan doesn't have a decent piece of clothing at this age. Let's tear off a piece of this blue fine cloth to make a piece of clothing for Niu Dan."

Mother Qin: "This is a gift from Afang's wife to her younger brother and sister. Afang's wife comes from a wealthy family. If you want to steal this thing, won't it make Afang's wife laugh at you?"

Second Aunt Qin: "She is not here now, so she doesn't know." It's okay for the sister-in-law to be angry, but she actually found such a good daughter-in-law. It's really infuriating.

Mother Qin would not pay attention to her. No one should snatch the gifts given by her daughter-in-law. She said directly to Qin Shouye: "Erwa, match these things according to what your eldest sister-in-law said in the letter."

Second Aunt Qin looked at Grandma Qin: "Mother, don't you love Niu Dan? He is also your grandson."

Mother Qin: "If you want Niu Dan to be good, you have to rely on you as a mother and his father to work hard, not by snatching things from others."

Second Aunt Qin: "Mother..."

Grandma Qin: "Okay, eldest daughter-in-law, you can take the things."

Mother Qin: "Yes. Father, mother, these two pieces of cloth are for you, just like the cloth for me and the head of the family. These two pieces are for Shouye and Shou, and these two pieces are for Daya and Siya." Erya is the second daughter, and Daa and Wuya are the first daughters.

Qin Daya is six years old and has just been engaged. She is going to get married at the end of the year. Although the cloth is not red, she can still get a new dress. But for Qin Siya, this cloth is also suitable, and Yang Haiyan chose it well.

Mother Qin: "This handkerchief is for the second brother's wife, the first brother's wife, Erya, Xiaoya and Wuya." No matter whose daughter-in-law comes into the house, it is always better to treat the husband's brothers and sisters. "This purse is for Niu Dan."

As for Qin Ershu and Qin Xiaoshu, there is no more. Nephews and uncles still have to be avoided, and Yang Haiyan doesn't know what to give them. Besides, if she gives it to Qin Er's aunt, Qin Xiao's aunt and cousins, the love is also there.

Seeing the good stuff, Qin's mother took the things from the first room back into the house and called the people from the first room back: "Master, Shouye, Shoudong, Daya and Siya, go back to the house." They wanted to continue reading the letter.
