Climb the mountain to grab the harvest (1)

After a month, Xie Yanqing hurried up and finally completed the task of copying 2 books, returned the books to Lin Yi, and got 6 taels of silver for copying books.

is also earning more than six taels of silver, copying a book is more tiring than writing a book, Xie Yanqing couldn't help but sigh.

His hand that has been copying books day and night for a month is about to break, and now he really feels uncomfortable when he sees the pen, and he doesn't want to write for a few days.

Don't look at the fact that he can get six taels of silver for copying a book now, isn't it much easier than writing a book by himself?

Then you are wrong, is it common to have a book that is thick and sells well? There may not be a book like the Bagu Wen Question Bank for a few years, so Xie Yanqing is still firm in his writing path.

These days are the days of vacation in the school, and Xie Yanqing is really tired of copying books this month, so he plans to give himself a vacation, and he will not read books in the past few days, and have fun in the village.

It's August now, and now it's the season when the fruits are ripe, and the people in their village will go up the mountain to harvest them in the next few days, and Xie Yanqing is now pestering the Xie family to let him go with him.

There are 2 big mountains and a very small mountain near Qinghe Village, and there are some wild fruit trees on the mountain, generally when the fruit is ripe, the village will organize people to go up the mountain to pick, and most of the picked fruits are sold to the town, which is also one of the important incomes of the people in the village.

Xie Yanqing had never been there before because he was too young, but now he feels that he is 8 and a half years old and can go and see it.

Because there are wild beasts in the mountains, the villagers usually don't go too far, and many of the eight or nine-year-old children in the village will also go with them.

"Okay, I've been tired of reading stones lately, so let him relax this time, so many people in our family will go together, and they will all look at him, nothing will happen." In the end, it was Xie Mancang who made the final decision and asked Xie Yanqing to follow.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Xie family received a notice that they would go up the mountain tomorrow, but the Xie family was not in a hurry, because their things for going up the mountain had been packed up early.

The next day, the Xie family got up very early, Xie Yanqing his mother, and his second aunt and third aunt got up even earlier, anyway, after Xie Yanqing got up, he found that they had prepared the Xie family's breakfast and dry food for going up the mountain.

This time, the women of the Xie family stayed at home and did not go up the mountain to catch the harvest, Li was afraid of accidents because of his age, and Xie Yanqing's mother Chen was pregnant for more than 2 months.

Xie Yanqing was really shocked when he found out today, if he hadn't asked Chen why he didn't go today, maybe he wouldn't know it now.

Of course, this is not because Xie Yanqing doesn't care about the Chen family, in ancient times, it was common to pay attention to the announcement of the news after three months of pregnancy, so in addition to the adults in the family, Xie Yanqing was the first child in the family to know.

The first child who knew about this was the eldest sister, and the second was naturally Xie Yanqing, the eldest sister is 12 years old this year, and most of the family affairs have already been started, and the Chen family also needs her to take care of it, so she naturally knew it early.

The Xie family still has only 2 boys, Xiao Li seems to have injured his body when he gave birth to Xie Yanping, and he has not been pregnant for 2 years, and now there is only one son and one daughter in the second room.

And Wang Fengniang, who is in the third room, gave birth to a girl last year, named Da Niu, who was just one year old last month, and Wang is not yet pregnant.

Xie Mancang beckoned Xie Dawei, Xie Daguang, Xie Dayong and Xie Yanqing to hurry up and eat, and leave after eating.

After eating, Xie Dawei took the dry food, and Xie Yanqing and the others left in the reluctant eyes of the Li family.

In the meantime, Xie Yanqing saw the expectant eyes of the little sister, now the little sister is 6 years old, it is the age when she loves to have fun, but Xie Yanqing can only be regarded as invisible, how can he do anything about this? He's been begging for a long time to be able to go up the mountain, not to mention that the little sister is not as old as him.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanqing couldn't help but sigh, it was better to be a boy in ancient times, but fortunately he became a boy in this life.

Otherwise, the life of an ancient woman would really drive him crazy.
