And the Zeng family was also reading the books and ink cartridges sent by the Li family, Li Xiucai thought about it very thoughtfully, gave him a bottle of ink, and told him that when he ran out, he would go to the Li family to get it. www.biquge.info Of course, Zeng Fan didn't tell his parents about this, thinking that this would damage the face of the Zeng family.

"Although it is not valuable, it is rare for your parents-in-law to have a piece of heart." Zeng Qing didn't feel much about the cartridge, but he was more interested in those two books, and he kept flipping through those two books.

In fact, Li Xiucai has some good books, but these two are some transcripts written by Li Xiucai himself. In the notes of reading over the years, Li Xiu was able to teach a few Jinshi, and there was also a reason.

Li Xiucai has the ability, but his luck is not good, and there is no one in his family to support him. Of course, he didn't have confidence then. However, over the years, he has still been concerned about exams and exam questions. Seriously study the successful articles of others. Over the years, Li Xiucai has really done nothing else, and these two booklets are the brainchild of his more than ten years.

"Just give away such a small thing!" Ouyang glanced at the ink cartridge with disdain, and deliberately picked it up to take a look, she hurriedly showed them a scratch wound at the bottom. "It's old, look."

"Qing'er's family!" The old man who was sitting on the side and smoking a hookah stopped. Originally, lamp oil was also expensive, but at night, when you light a lamp, the whole family is naturally together.

"Father-in-law, take an old one and send it to Fan'er......" Ouyang was still dissatisfied.

"The old one is better than nothing." The old man snorted, looked sideways at Zeng Fan, and said softly, "Your father-in-law is good, and he still thinks about you, he has taught Jinshi, you have to go over often to ask for teaching." ”

"I didn't say that I would leave you for a meal, so I asked you to come back on an empty stomach." Ouyang muttered, anyway, he could see that it was all kinds of dissatisfaction.

"Originally, my father-in-law wanted to keep food, but I didn't go." Zeng Fan blushed.

"Yes, Erya's health is good, it's not good for you to go." Zeng Qing glared at his wife and said to his son. I gave the booklet back to my son with a little reluctance and asked him to study hard.

"By the way, I heard that my mother-in-law began to teach Erya to weave." Ouyang said again.

"Too small, right? Last time, it wasn't as tall as a loom. Zeng Qing was stunned and felt a little surprised.

"Does that mean we're going to have to buy her a loom in the future?" Ouyang frowned and said,

She has a clear idea of Mrs. Li. Now teaching Erya to weave, don't you just want to come to Zeng's house without having to work in the field? Thinking that Mrs. Li hadn't been on the ground all these years, it made the Ouyang family jealous and hateful. often said behind his back, 'The Li family is arrogant, the family's fields are handed over to the clan to take care of, and the father-in-law even said that Mrs. Li is a capable person, what can such a lazy woman do.' ’

It's just that now, she even let her daughter learn to weave, just to avoid working in the field. At this time, Ouyang didn't want to weave cloth faster than making money in the field, she thought that her mother-in-law wanted to go to the ground, and as a result, her daughter-in-law could weave some cloth comfortably at home. She felt deeply that her position had been affected.

"The child wants to read, don't talk." Zeng Qing really didn't want to say anything about his wife anymore, so he could only say softly to stop her from chewing the root of her tongue anymore.

For the sake of his son, Ouyang finally shut up, Zeng Fan sat on the front of the table, which was the best place for lighting, but he didn't write, he was just reading. But I didn't turn a page for a long time.

On the second day, Zeng Fan got up early in the morning, and after going out to wash, he helped his mother clean up the yard and fed the chickens in the yard by the way. Just when Old Man Zeng came out and saw it, "Brother Fan, what are you doing?" ”

"Wake up early and move your muscles." Zeng Fan smiled, he was already a thirteen-year-old boy, even if his family was not wealthy, he could still be fed, and his body was strong.

Old lady Zeng was not a pedantic person, so she didn't let him do any work at all, so she didn't speak. He cleared the coop himself, washed the chicken droppings, and poured the water into the vat dedicated to it. There are three of them on the side of the coop.

They first put most of the soil in the jar, and then poured into it and buried it. Drizzle with the stinky water of the washing basket. On weekdays, any rotten vegetable leaves and kitchen waste will also be poured into the jar and stirred evenly.

When the first jar is full, cover it with a reed cover. Then put it in the second cylinder, and when it was finished, install the third cylinder. Generally, when the third tank is full, the first tank has been sealed for more than two months. The soil in the first tank is also black, and there is no peculiar smell.

The old man mixed the soil well and picked it up in the ground to use as fertilizer. Then the old man came back with a shortage of dry soil. So this is the old man's baby, and he personally plays with it every day.

Of course, this is also a very annoying thing for the Ouyang family, a good yard was made stinky by the old man, but she didn't dare to tell the old man, and the old man didn't know it.

"Grandpa, it took you two months to change back to the soil, can it have any effect?" Zeng Fan asked while sweeping the floor.

"It's really stupid to read, it's obviously a month to add weight. People are pouring dung directly, and the soil is burned, and we are like this, and the ground is clean. "The old man is an old man who cherishes the land, and his three jars of soil have been continuously moistening their family's land over the years.

After the autumn harvest, the old man would spread the rice stalks evenly on the ground of his house, and burn the rice stalks with a fire. Turn over the land again. Then the old man would water the ground with manure every few days. Until winter, the land froze.

Because the old man is diligent, the Zeng family's life will get better and better. can be used for Zeng Qing to study. Zeng Fan admired the old man very much.

Over the years, the Zeng family's land has maintained a black and shiny state, even if it is a village, the rice from other families is not as bright and full as the Zeng family.

Every year, as soon as their rice comes out, a bunch of rice merchants wait outside, exchanging old rice for their new rice. A bag of rice can be exchanged for a bag and a half. After paying the public grain, he kept what he ate, and sold the rest for money, which made people very hot.

Old man Zeng doesn't have any special skills, and he can see it all around, but it's okay to learn for a day or two, and no one can do it year after year, so Zeng Fan actually learned the most important quality from the old man is to keep doing it.

"Don't listen to what your mother said yesterday. Your father-in-law teaches very well, so you have nothing to do with him and ask him for knowledge. The old man said while busy with his own fertilizer.

"Yes, I learned a lot yesterday." Zeng Fan said honestly.

"How good it is to let Erya learn to weave, if it wasn't for Li Niangzi weaving, where would Li Xiucai be able to enter the provincial capital. But it's a pity that I didn't pass the exam that time. When I went home, I cried a lot and got sick, so Li Xiucai stopped taking the test. Concentrate on teaching. It's only been a few years of hard work, look at the two Jinshi masters who have been taught to come out, and he has seats at the county master's place. The old man felt a little envious. His son is also a Xiucai, and in terms of status, it is really incomparable to follow Li Xiucai. But he hid this loss.

"Yes!" Zeng Fan lowered his head and continued to sweep the yard, as if he didn't see that.
