Chapter 1048: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (43)
Now Li is having a lot of money. In addition to the four hundred taels rewarded by the county magistrate, he also made a lot of money selling salted duck eggs in the town after the ducks laid eggs last year. After excluding miscellaneous expenses and the dividends given to the villagers at the end of the year, there is still money left. With more than three hundred taels, he had long wanted to spend so money to build a school to educate the children in the village.
As a result, Lin Xiyun beca the master of Liangwa Village, earning a stable inco of 1,000 yuan per month.
Sanyas marriage was also settled smoothly.
Mrs. Xu disagreed at first because she thought the Lin family was poor. Xu Yin asked lightly: "How rich is the Xu family?"
Mrs. Xu is scared to death of her second granddaughter. Although she has lost weight now and does not look as fierce as before, it is said that she has the favor of the county magistrate and has beco a handkerchief with the county magistrate's wife. Mrs. Xu She didn't dare to offend anyone, so she muttered a few words and watched helplessly as Sanya married the eldest son of Lin. The gift was similar to that of an ordinary family in the village, and the old Xu family also had to pay a dowry. Her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were screaming in pain. pain.
Until Xu Sanqiu was forced by Xu Yin to learn a lot of words this year, he found a job at a bookstore in the town. Although he was just a waiter, he received custors who ca to buy books and helped them find the books they wanted. , but with 500 cash per month, including food and accommodation, it is much easier than digging for food in the fields. If you work hard in the future, you may be able to beco a shopkeeper, which makes Mrs. Xu feel much more comfortable.
According to Xu Yin, working in a bookstore is better than growing waterlons at ho. But Mrs. Xu and others didn't think so, so they could only let them be happy.
Sanya married her sweetheart, Xu Sanqiu's work was completed, and other brothers in her mother's family also learned to grow waterlons under her guidance. Xu Yin beca the backbone of the brothers and sisters. They used to avoid her, but now they don't. Everyone likes to discuss with her.
Mrs. Xu was very happy that her grandson had found a job in the town, but when she turned around and found that she could no longer handle the grandchildren... she was very depressed.
At Lao Cui's house, 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 repeatedly said that if this boy studied hard, he would definitely have a sense of accomplishnt in his official career. Xu Yin consulted her brother-in-law's opinion and sent him to study. Mrs. Cui was reluctant to pay the money, so she ca to pay it.
Mrs. Cui was unhappy and said to her younger son: "Your sister-in-law has no good intentions. Now she is supporting you to study. If you have a good future in the future, she will definitely depend on you and will ask you to repay the repair fee three to five tis. It's a pity for you." My little sister has not been heard from since she went to the capital. Otherwise, if you ask her to report it to you, she will definitely not be like your sister-in-law..."
Mom, my sister-in-law said that I dont need to pay back the money, as long as I study hard and follow the right path.
"She must have said that now, but who knows in the future...Besides, third brother, you are going to study, what will happen to the fields at ho? Your second brother married a daughter-in-law and forgot about your mother. How can you bear to let your mother farm so much land at ho alone?"
Ms. Cui felt desperate when she thought about it and regretted separating the eldest family and her family.
Even if the eldest daughter-in-law is too lazy to work, the eldest son is very diligent. Look at how much land his family has now. Except for hiring help when farming is busy, he usually works alone. The daughter-in-law knows how to be lazy.
Cui Jikang also heard the aning at this ti, and looked disappointed: "Mom, you are not worried about what my sister-in-law will do to in the future, but you are worried that I will go to school and no one will farm at ho, right?"
Ms. Cui murmured: "This is a fact."
Dont worry, Mom, I will go ho when the farming is busy. If Mom is too busy at ordinary tis, you can hire people to help. Now that the output is high, the few additional stones of grain earned will be used as paynt, and many people are willing to help.
Its over!
The younger son has separated from himself!
Mrs. Cui knew that she should not send her younger son to her eldest son's ho to learn how to read from Lao Shizi. Now it was better. He knew the words and his heart was freed.
She is now extrely looking forward to the return of her little daughter to her hotown in fine clothes and to co back to support herself.
Its too difficult for her to be alone! I can't beat my daughter-in-law, who is a knife-thrower!
Three years later-
Good news! Good news! The new emperor has ascended the throne and started Encore!
"real?"
"That's still false! Notices have been posted at the city gate!" A group of students rushed to tell each other.
Since the new emperor ca to the throne, he has implented several new policies that are beneficial to the people. The first thing to do is to clear out a group of officials who are not engaged in production and who steal people's credit.
Zhou Zhihai, who was promoted through the new fertilization thod, was the first to bear the brunt.
Other officials also masturbated a lot.
As a result, there will be fewer available people.
So I opened Enke this ti.
Cui Jikang was carrying his book bag and preparing to go ho. Farming was about to be busy and he wanted to go ho to help with the autumn harvest.
Brother Cui, have you heard? There is a notice posted outside the county gate. The new emperor has ascended the throne and is opening up favors to students all over the world. We dont have to wait two years, we can take part in the provincial examination this year!
Thats right, Ji Kang, why are you still going ho? Stay in the academy and study hard to take the provincial examination!
Cui Jikang hesitated: "I don't know yet whether to sign up this year or not. I have to discuss it with my family first."
What are you talking about? Being an Enke student ans multiple opportunities. You got third place in the county examination. We who are in the top 30 are planning to register for the provincial examination. You are still hesitating?
"Yes, Brother Cui, Enke doesn't happen often. Maybe we will et this once in our lives. The new emperor has given us this opportunity, let's try it. Even if we fail the exam, we will still find our own shortcomings. Two years later I will be more confident if I take the exam again. If I win, won't I save two years?"
Oh, forget it, Cui Di may think that he is still young and can waste another two years. Unlike us..."
Thats true
Amidst the looks of regret, confusion, or joy from his classmates, Cui Jikang walked heavily back to Dawa Village carrying his book bag.
He knew that his mother would definitely disapprove of him going to the state capital to take the provincial examination. Firstly, it would cost a lot of money to travel. Secondly, it was the autumn harvest and the family was waiting for him to co back to help.
Over the past three years, he has figured out what his mother ans: studying is fine, as long as he doesnt ask her for money and doesnt delay the work in the fields. He can study however he wants.
Even though he was admitted as a scholar and exempted two of his family from taxes, his mother was overjoyed and praised him when everyone t, but she still felt that studying could not delay the work in the fields, and she had to rush back from the farm to help the family collect food. Are you always worried about what if he fails the exam? Dont you have to co back to work?
Its not that he is unwilling to work, as long as there is no conflict in ti, he is happy to go ho and participate in the sumr and autumn harvests.
Looking at the harvest scene, I always feel that all the hard work is worth it.
But the rural examination was only a few days after the autumn harvest. If he went ho to harvest, he would not be able to prepare for the exam. Even if you dont participate this ti, you will still face this problem two years later. How should he ask his mother to agree to take the exam?
Ji Kang?
Xu Yin, carrying her five-month-old son, went to Mrs. Wang's house at the entrance of the village to order tofu and ca back. From a distance, she saw her brother-in-law walking with his head drooped and his steps slow, as if there was so problem that was troubling him.
Why are you coming back at this ti? Have you had lunch?
It was already past lunch ti. Xu Yin looked at him and looked like he had eaten. He must have set off from the academy very early and had been hesitating on the road for a long ti. His face was red from the sun.
