In early winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, although there is no bag stall now, but Su Liu and they are still busy enough, after all, fifteen acres of land have to be renovated, just with their mother and daughter, they can't be busy just watering.

Early in the morning, Su Liu and the others watered the ground before returning home for breakfast.

"Huhu, I didn't think it before, but now I feel that this kind of place is more tiring than making steamed buns in the morning." Su Xiaolian poured a few mouthfuls of water and stuck out his tongue.

It's been a busy morning, everyone's face is red, and they are hot, but they don't feel cold.

"The drought in Gyeongju is heavier in winter than in other places, and this is due to the fact that the sun is not fierce, otherwise it would have to be watered several times a day." The Chen family also wants to go down to the field in the Su family, and they also know these things more clearly.

"Mother, sister, just let me and Brother Ning water this field, you will cook at home, and you have to boil Ejiao." Chen Ye proposed at this time.

"Just your small body, you don't carry as much water as I do!" Su Xiao shrugged his nose and said disdainfully: "You couldn't even get well water at the beginning." ”

Chen Ye's face was slightly red, and he said hesitantly: "I, I'm already playing well now, I can also carry water, and I will be stronger than you in the future." ”

"No matter how strong you are, aren't you also my little brother." Su Xiao was triumphant.

Su Liu chuckled and said, "When can you not argue?" ”

Both of them were a little dumbfounded, glaring at each other.

"I've thought about it, fifteen acres of land can't be busy with a few of us, we don't just rely on farming, there are other things, I thought, ask two long-term workers to take care of it." Su Liu said what he thought.

"Long work, please?"

The Chen family looked at each other, their faces were very surprised, this long-term worker is a person, but only a big family can invite it, and they also want to hire a long-term worker?

"Sister, can our family also hire long-term workers?" Su Xiao's eyes widened, and she was very excited.

"Why not?" Su Liu smiled slightly and said, "Although our family is not very rich and expensive, with this ejiao, we can still earn a little bit of family money." Ask for a long time, mainly to help us with our work, I don't want to earn this money, but my body is exhausted. ”

Su Liu is not a miser, on the contrary, she attaches great importance to the combination of work and rest, and she also knows that she cherishes herself, this earning money is all to live a good life, and it doesn't cost much money to hire a long-term worker, and she can help herself, why not ask?

Besides, it is not possible to rely on themselves for everything, although they are not so good that their fingers do not touch the spring water, but it is really not easy to remediate fifteen acres of land, in case there is any emergency, they are too busy, then it will be worth the loss, these lands, but they are the foundation of making money!

"Actually, big sister, I can do it." Chen Ye pursed his lips, looked at Su Liu with his back straight, and in addition to his respect for Su Liu, he was also a little cautious in his eyes.

He is a child in the end, no matter how old he is, he can't hide his emotions, Su Liu also knew that he was careful, so he stopped his head and said: "Xiao Ye, you don't have to be so restrained, and you don't have to please, since you have served tea, you are your mother's son, our younger brother, the third son of this family, and the only man." ”

Chen Ye was said to be thoughtful, a little uncomfortable, for Chen and Su Xiao are okay, even in front of Su Liu, he feels that there is nothing to hide, he is very careful, for fear of upsetting her, and he wants to be a little beggar again.

Now hearing Su Liu say this, in addition to being uncomfortable, I was also relieved, it turned out to be true, she really thought she was a little brother.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye relaxed a little, but he was still respectful, and said, "I also want to share." ”

Zhilu said. If you have this heart, it is very good, farm work should be done, first, you can exercise, and second, you will not be separated from the grain, which will also be good for you in the future. But Xiao Ye, none of this is important. ”

Chen Ye blinked, a little unsure of the meaning of her words.

"I'll clean up later, I'll go to the town school with you to sign up, and you can go to study too." Su Liu looked at Chen Ye and said.

Study?

Chen Ye stood up in shock, clasped his hands unconsciously, and said, "Eldest sister, you said to send me to the school?" ”

"These days, you have also learned a lot of words, and the eldest sister also knows that you have been enlightened, don't waste it. The eldest sister wants you to study, and there will be a way out for the imperial examination in the future. You don't have to be stressed, you also have money at home for you to study, even if you fail the exam, you can go home and have something to eat, but the premise is that you have to work hard and you must do your best. Su Liu looked at him steadily: "This is also the eldest sister's suggestion, the decision is in your hands, if you miss it, let's go to the town school to sign up, how about it?" ”

Reading and literacy, this is what many people dream of, especially the children of peasant families, how many people can't afford to read because they can't afford to pay the shackles, and they don't know a single big character, and they have made a living by farming all their lives.

If you study well, it is a great honor to come out after taking the exam, take the Su family, even if you don't eat, you have to go to the school for Su Jinquan?

Chen Ye was excited, and stammered, "Eldest sister, do you really want to send me to the school?" ”

"Silly boy, your eldest sister will do what she says, when did she coax you?" Chen Shi saw that his eyes were red, and he pulled him over in distress and said, "If you want to go, our family will provide for it." ”

"I want to go." Chen Ye pursed his lips and said loudly, "I will learn by heart." ”

Su Liu nodded and said, "Let's have breakfast first." ”

Chen Ye nodded with red eyes, lowered his head and picked up the big bowl, a tear fell into the bowl, and he drank it in the porridge.

Mother, I can continue to go to the school, don't worry, I'm fine, I will definitely get ahead, you have a spirit in the sky, you want to bless my son!

Su Liu's original intention was to send Chen Ye to the town school, but Chen Ye said: "Eldest sister, we also have a school here, and Master Sun Xiucai also knows it, so I'll go to the village school." It's close to home, so I can take care of my family. ”

When he said this, Su Liu was a little surprised, although the village school is close, but Sun Xiucai is only a showman, and his talent is limited, this person wants to have a good master to teach, but he has such a mind.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Chen Ye pursed his lips and said: "I was enlightened at the age of six, and I don't remember much about what I have learned, it is better to lay a good foundation under Master Sun Xiucai now, if he can't teach me, it will not be too late for me to go to the town school or county school." Eldest sister, if you and Xiaoxiao are busy with business, there will be only one mother in the family, and I am afraid that she will not be busy. ”

When Chen heard this, he was so moved that his eyes turned red.

He has an idea and knows how to be grateful, Su Liu nodded with satisfaction.

"It's good that you can think like this, it's true, as long as you have good qualifications and are willing to learn, where you can read it, we are also familiar with Sun Xiucai, and he will teach you the basics, and you will be more attentive. Then it was decided, and after a while, we prepared the ceremony, and we went to study. ”

Seeing that Su Liu agreed, Chen Ye showed a smile.

However, Su Xiao quit!

"Wow, little man, you have long been able to read and write, but you are pretending to be stupid, I have taught you so many words in vain, you are playing naughty with me as a monkey!" Su Xiao pointed at Chen Ye and said angrily.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, seeing that she was blushing and looking very annoyed, he was a little overwhelmed, and said, "No, no, Xiaoxiao, I can't remember either." ”

"Phew! You're still pretending! You're obviously playing tricks on me, you're going too far! I'm so angry that I'm going to ignore you. Su Xiao stomped his feet and rushed out of the door.

Chen Ye was stupid, she rushed back again, pointed at him and said loudly: "Also, you call the eldest sister the eldest sister, why do you call me Xiaoxiao, the second sister didn't see you scream, Xiaoxiao'er, I'm not done with you!" ”

Little girl, little girl, Su Liu burst out laughing, how did Su Xiao name Chen Ye.

"Mother, eldest sister, this ......" Seeing Su Xiao running away in annoyance, Chen Ye really didn't know what to do, and hurriedly asked the two for help.

"Ignore her, her temper will be fine in a while." Chen smiled and said, "It's you, eat quickly, and I'll go to Master Xiucai later." ”

Chen Ye frowned and glanced outside the door, a little worried.

Although he was not an apprentice, he was also formally studying, so Su Liu prepared a four-color gift, a red envelope of two taels, and a piece of sky blue silk cloth, and took Chen Ye to Sun Xiucai's house.

Chen Ye was wearing a brand-new little robe, which was made by the Chen family himself, he was delicate, he was young and calm, and he was polite, and he walked all the way through the village, which also attracted many people's praise.

Everyone knew that this was the adopted son of the Chen family, and when he saw that Su Liu was taking him and holding a lot of things, he asked curiously, and when he learned that he was going to study, he couldn't help but show a glamorous and envious look.

"It seems that this Su Liu is really developed."

"Then for sure, didn't you see that on the day she received Yizi, ouch, the golden hairpin she wore on her head was a lot of silver."

"Look at that kid who looks good, he looks very good, I'm afraid it will be great in the future, but he has to look at it better than Na Su Dalang."

"Look at their sister and brother, they are more like sisters and brothers than they are with the eldest man of that family, the material of that robe is really good, Su Liu and they are really willing to do it."

"Hehe, people earn money, and it's nothing to say. The Su family regretted it, and pushed out the cornucopia of golden eggs. ”

"Don't say it, the main master is here." Someone shushed and pouted.

Everyone saw it, wasn't it Su Jinquan, the eldest grandson of the Su family who was studying.

"What's there to say, I haven't been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, I've been reading it all these years in vain."

Su Jinquan had a black face, listening to these words in his ears, pursing his thin lips, and his ears were red.

Looking at Su Liu's back again, his eyes fell on Chen Ye's royal blue robe, his hands were clenched into fists tightly, his eyes showed a dark glow, he snorted, and ran back to the Su family's old mansion.

Su Changsheng was about to go out, but Leng Buding was hit by his eldest son and almost fell to the ground, so he scolded: "Like a panicked chicken, is there a ghost chasing you behind?" What are you running? ”

When Su Jinquan saw him, he was even more angry, remembering the ridicule of his classmates, and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to be faceless, why didn't you die in prison." ”

The second update was sent, all kinds of busy, and I can't afford it, the author tearfully begged for forgiveness~
