A few days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Uncle Jiang, after this compost pile is finished, I have to water it several times a day, so I have to trouble you and Brother Da Chun to worry a lot." Wang Jin saw that several large manure piles were almost spread, and instructed Uncle Jiang and Yang Dachun to be the eldest sons of Uncle Yang's family before.

"Hey, niece of the Wang family, don't worry, we have made this fat ourselves, but we haven't added this earth dragon. Since you said that everything else is similar, let's follow the previous service, and there will definitely be no mistakes! Uncle Jiang is sure to be authentic.

Wang Jin nodded: "Well, then please leave it to you." The weather has been good these days, let's sow seeds the day after tomorrow, and the ground will be watered thoroughly, so it's hard for everyone! She checked the sowing with the hired workers in every detail, and made a rough inspection of the fifty acres of land, and when she saw that all the land was in good order, she was relieved, and when the sun was about to set, she greeted them and went home.

"How's it going in the field, but it's all arranged?" When Chen saw her coming back, he hurriedly greeted her and asked.

"Well, don't worry, Uncle Xu and Uncle Jiang are both good at farming, and they have also planted cotton before, so they only need to pay a little attention to some places." Wang Jin's tone was brisk.

Chen was a little relieved when he heard this, took his daughter's hand and went to the back of the house, and said as he walked: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with renting the land to the people in the village as before, and you have to toss this cotton lady up to you, just don't drill too hard and exhaust yourself." Although our family doesn't have any big inputs, there is nothing to spend money on, so it is easier to collect rent like this. ”

Wang Jin listened to Chen's words, and his heart was warm and helpless. She held Chen's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, I know how to measure and will not tire myself." But we have two younger brothers in our family, and they will all start a family in the future, and maybe they will become officials, so we can do it just by relying on that little rent. I don't want to make a lot of money, but I want to make a bigger investment, and I can help more money in the future. ”

Chen heard Wang Jian say this more than once, but she really didn't think that this kind of cotton could make much money, otherwise every household would have planted it. She was afraid that Wang Hibiscus would be hit at that time, so she always said a few words from time to time, so that Wang Hibiscus could think about it first. She gently hugged Wang Jin's shoulders and said lovingly: "Mother is not afraid that you will be tired, and it is not that she can't afford to support your babies." Okay, let's go get the food out and get ready to eat! ”

When the meal was set and the adults and children were on the table, the bolt carried a hare to the door.

"Sister Jin, I caught this rabbit in the mountains, and it's still a little fat, I'll use it to add a dish to you." Bolt handed the rabbit to Wang Jindao.

"Oh, Brother Bolt, when did you go to the mountain, why didn't you call me, it's too unjust!" Wang Jin brought the rabbit over, and said dissatisfiedly to the bolt.

"I got up early yesterday and went there, but I didn't go deeper, I caught a rabbit, and a few pheasants came back. I remember you said that you went to the market yesterday, so I didn't come to call you, Sister Jin, don't be angry. The plug quickly explained.

Wang Jin saw that the rabbit was indeed fat and fleshy, and it weighed about six or seven pounds, shook his head and handed it to the bolt and said: "You give my family a farm now, and it is rare to go to the mountains in the future, you can keep this rabbit and eat it at home." Seeing that she refused to take the plug, she said, "Even if you don't eat it, you still have to give it to Grandpa Xu, take it back." My family has chickens, and there is no shortage of meat to eat. ”

The bolt hurriedly said: "Sister Jin, you can take it, this is what my grandfather asked me to send, and I still have a few pheasants at home, which are enough to eat for a while." Your family has been helping me and grandpa, if you don't accept this thing, we really don't want to go! ”

Wang Jin saw that he was resolute, so he had to let Wang Shi take the rabbit to the kitchen and hang it up, and he insisted on pulling the bolt and eating dinner at home before letting him go back.

After the meal, Chen and Wang Hibiscus skinned and disemboweled, cut it into pieces and pickled it, otherwise this kind of sky would not be able to let go.

"Hey, this kid is sincere, and he always has to send a copy to our family if there is anything. My family doesn't know if they have enough to eat. Chen sighed as he cleaned up the rabbit meat in his hand.

"Yes, it's still so strong, it's useless to say anything, I have to accept it." Wang Jian said a little depressed.

"People are grateful. When your father was still around, he often asked the steward to secretly exempt his family from rent, and on several occasions he even gave medicine to his grandfather. Both Bolt and Uncle Xu remember this love. Chen poured a large pinch of salt into the rabbit meat in the large basin and rubbed it with both hands. He said to Wang Jian again: "The bolt is such a diligent child, but unfortunately there is no father, and his grandfather's body is not good." There are still hard days to endure, so let's help him if we can. ”

"Mother, I know. When we first came, he was busy helping out, carrying water and chopping wood, and I had to take care of it more. Wang Jian solemnly agreed, and squeezed his eyebrows with a smile and said: "Counting it, he can save a lot of money by helping our family grow cotton for three years, and then you can help him marry a daughter-in-law, then you can help people to the end!" ”

Chen glanced at Wang Jin, and scolded with a smile: "Your mother is not a matchmaker or his family, how can you take care of the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law, it's all nonsense." ”

Wang Jin stuck out his tongue and helped Chen put the large pot of rabbit meat into a basket and hang it on the beam, and covered it with a piece of gauze to prevent ashes.

"Mother, Shepherd has been reading late every day these days, I can't persuade him even if I want to, I'll make some supper and send it to him later. You can take Tang'er to rest early. Wang Jian thought of this and discussed it with Chen.

"Hey, that kid is so day and night when he reads the book, and he doesn't listen to persuasion, and your father will praise him for being ruthless. It's bad to break down your body. I'll make him supper, you and Tang'er should rest early, you're growing taller, it's okay to sleep less. "The Chen family has no way to deal with Wang Mu." Or I'll come, mother, you can take Tang'er to rest early, you have to take care of a lot of things at home, and I will prepare for supper. It just so happened that I went to persuade the shepherd, no matter how hard I worked, I had to pay attention to rest. Chen nodded after hearing this, and instructed Wang Jin: "Then you persuade him more, he has lost weight again in the past two days, and he can't rest so late at night." Wang Jin put Tang'er in Chen's place to settle down, and also went back to his own room.

Since Wang Mu got the book sent by Jiang Qingliu, he has lived a hard reading career like a cantilever beam, and he enjoys it. Every time Wang Jin shouted that he must be invited to eat, he must be urged three times and four times, and as soon as he arrived at the dinner table, he would use soup to make rice, take a few bites and take a few bites, throw down his chopsticks and run back to the house to continue to work hard. Although the bottom of his eyes was obviously gray, Wang Mu's spirit was still high, and his eyes often burst out with surprise and admiration when he flipped through the books, which made Wang Jin's heart itch, what books did Jiang Qingliu give and what he wrote, so that Wang Mu was so fascinated.

Seeing that the night was already in the second watch, Wang Jin put a purse that was embroidered in his hand into the dustpan, went to the stove to give Wang Mu a bowl of noodles, lay eggs, deliberately put more, put it in another small bowl, and went to the east wing.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw that Wang Mu was still immersed in reading, and Wang Shi, who was sitting under him, was already sleepy, and his little head was little by little, like a chicken pecking rice.

"Mu'er, Shi'er, let's have some supper." Wang Jin laid out the bowl of noodles in front of them, one by one, and said softly.

Wang Shi smelled the fragrance, gradually woke up, and was very surprised to see the noodles in front of him exuding a strong fresh fragrance. Recently, Wang Mu has almost gone crazy when he reads books, and his little follower has also suffered a lot of sins. He wanted to rest early, but seeing that the eldest brother was much better than his own and was working so hard, he didn't dare to rest first, and besides, he was secretly determined to surpass the eldest brother earlier. So he has been very diligent in reading and practicing calligraphy in the past few days, which made Wang Jian and Chen very happy, and this bowl of noodles was specially treated to him.

Wang Mu didn't find out about her arrival until the book was taken away by Wang Hibiscus. Wang Jin looked at him and stared at the book in his hand, obviously wanting to go back but didn't dare to speak, so he said angrily and viciously: "Eat the noodles first!" Wang Mu had no choice but to obediently pick up chopsticks and eat noodles. Reading costs his brain, in fact, he was hungry for a long time, but he had been immersed in books before and didn't feel it. At this moment, the warm noodle soup is in my stomach, I only feel that my internal organs have been awakened, and I am shouting that I am hungry, and I don't care about the book at the moment, I will fill my stomach first.

Wang Jin saw that he had eaten well, so he sat down on the side, opened the page of "The World Says New Words" in his hand Wang Mu was reading just now, and saw that this paragraph was about the allusion of Guan Ning cutting the seat.

“… Guan Ning, Hua Xin in the garden hoe vegetables, see a piece of gold, pipe swing hoe and tile stone is no different, Hua catch and throw it. I also tried to read at the same table, and there were those who passed through the door by the Xuan crown, and they would rather read as before, and read the waste books to see, and would rather cut the seats and sit separately, saying: "The son is not my friend!" ”

However, a row of sturdy and powerful small characters next to it attracted Wang Jin's attention.

"Everyone in the world is honest and noble, but Hua Xin is greedy for power. I think it's just a difference in ambition, but there is no distinction between good and evil. In addition, Hua Xin has been applied to the world and is good at cultivating virtue, which can be a model. See Virtue 13 - Evacuation by boat. ”

Wang Jin turned a few pages back, and almost every chapter was annotated by Jiang Qingliu, and it was not like a textbook to explain the words, but to find a new way, with a wide range of references and novel views. Even Wang Jin, a modern person, couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and said in his heart: This Jiang Qingliu's dialectical thinking is very mature, jumping out of the framework of secular ideas, and tasting other truths from these classic allusions that everyone is familiar with. Hmm, let Mu'er learn from him shouldn't become a sour and rotten nerd!

Wang Mu on the side finished eating, looked at the book in her hand and said, "Sister, I'm done." Give me the book, and I'll read it later. ”

Wang Jian snapped the book shut and said in a rough voice: "Still reading? What time has it been? I'll see it tomorrow during the day, and I'll save some lamp oil! She looked at Wang Mu with a reluctant face, so she pointed to Wang Shi, who was reluctantly licking the bowl on the side, and said: "Look at it, Shi'er accompanies you to read every day, stays up late, and her little face has lost a lot of weight, you see that the eye circles are dark." When Wang Shi heard that he was named, he reflexively raised his little face and straightened his body, and then listened to the words of the eldest sister, and immediately cooperated to make a sluggish look, which was very realistic, he was really tired, and he didn't have to pretend.

Seeing that Wang Mu's expression was slightly shaken, Wang Jin's tone softened a little, and said, "If you go to look in the mirror yourself, you will become panda eyes." It is good to study hard, and you should also pay attention to proportion. In the past, although my father didn't stop you like this, he never allowed you to read like this at night, and you had to fight a set of punches every morning. Only when you take care of your body can you study with peace of mind. If you continue like this, your eyes will definitely be the first to be broken, and then you will become a weak scholar who is powerless as soon as the wind blows. Wang Jin's eyes rolled, and he continued to coax: "You see, Jiang Gongzi can do martial arts, whether he is knowledgeable, he can be literate and martial like him, he can't go there, and he can't do anything." Don't you admire Jiang Gongzi the most, why don't you learn from him? I think even when Jiang Gongzi studies hard, he will not forget to combine work and rest, boxing, running, and distraction, right? ”

Wang Mu finally wavered, but he still had some concerns. Since his father's death, there have been a lot of things going on in the family, and he hasn't been to the academy for more than half a year. Now that I've moved to the countryside, even if I can go to the village school, it's definitely worse than the shoin. He is not afraid of this, there is a way that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and he spends more effort. It's just that if he only reads the books taught by the teacher, his vision is limited, but if there is no one to guide him, he doesn't know where to work hard. The books sent by Jiang Qingliu seemed to light a lamp and paved the way for him, so that he would know where to go at once. Once the momentum he had been saving for a few months exploded, he couldn't control it, and he couldn't wait to learn more every day. It's just that he has always had a trace of worry in his heart, if he finishes reading these books, will Brother Jiang still give him guidance at that time?

Thinking of this, he clenched his hand slightly, and said to Wang Jin: "Eldest sister, when I have almost read the book in a few days, I want to go into the city to visit Brother Jiang." ”

When Wang Jin heard this, he thought that he wanted to ask Jiang Qingliu in person how he was studying, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, when the cotton is planted, I will take you there." Don't be so desperate these days, otherwise this appearance will make Jiang Gongzi see it, and he will think that I have abused you. ”

Wang Mu nodded embarrassedly. After Wang Jin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he fetched water for them to wash and rest, and then went back to his room to rest.
