The family now eats two meals a day, and Zhou Zhi is already hungry at dinner. At this time, the mother accompanied her father Zhou Tie to eat in the back room, and her sister Zhou Luyun, younger brothers Zhou Shaocheng and Zhou Zhi sat around the small dining table in the stove house to eat.

The rice is naturally very simple and coarse, but it is very sweet.

Zhou Luyun looked at Zhou Zhi gobbling up, with a relieved smile on his face.

The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng ate less, and soon left after eating enough.

"Xiaozhi, eat slowly, there is still here!"

Zhou Luyun whispered as he took out three more hot cakes from the pot. Obviously, this is what she deliberately left for Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi smiled at his sister gratefully, reached out to take it, and gnawed on it sweetly.

Zhou Luyun turned his head to look at the inner room, lowered his voice and said, "Xiaozhi, my sister knows that you went to make a billet today, and you are very tired." My sister doesn't want to ask you what you're going to do? Sister wants to come, as long as it is Xiaozhi to do, it will definitely not be bad, and my sister will support you.

In the past few days, the winter clothes have been sewn and repaired, and my sister will help you go to the blank tomorrow! ”

Listening to my sister's encouragement, a wave of warmth rose to my heart. Looking up, she glanced at her sister with relief, and also lowered her voice and said, "Sister can't do such work as billeting." Xiaozhi just has an idea, and he doesn't know whether it will be successful or not. It's better for my sister to rest at home. ”

I can't tell my sister about my bold idea now. Although my sister said that she would support her no matter what she did, growing vegetables in the cold winter made it sound shocking to anyone, and it would definitely scare my sister.

Zhou Luyun pursed his lips and smiled slightly, his heart had long been curious. A few days ago, Xiaozhi made a bellows, which caused a lot of sensation in Baiyue Village, and everyone praised Xiaozhi for being smart and tight, which was very magical. In the past few days, people from neighboring villages have come to Baiyue Village to see the bellows, and after seeing them, they will immediately go home to make them. His younger brother Zhou Zhi has a great reputation in the village and neighboring villages.

This time, maybe Xiaozhi will make a bigger move, which will shock the neighbors. Xiao Zhi is so capable, I can't say that our Zhou family will turn over because of him in the future. There will be no more such a life of poverty.

Zhou Luyun thought beautifully, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhi with care, his eyes were full of love and pride.

Zhou Zhi's body is long and strong, and the amount of food is also very large, plus today's fatigue, he drank two large bowls of yellow rice pumpkin porridge, and ate all the three cakes that his sister secretly left for him, so he finally ate enough.

After dinner, Zhou Zhi naturally had to go to the stable again, and at the end of the busy time, he had to go to sleep on the kang.

Although there is a lot of work at night, Zhou Zhi also wants to read at night, but in fact, he can't. Compared with families like the Zhou family, lamp oil is to be used sparingly. After dinner, I have to go to bed if I have nothing to do, and I won't light the lamp.

If you let your father Zhou Tie know that he is reading with an oil lamp at night, he will definitely be reprimanded.

Fortunately, the days of studying are still long, and there is no rush for a while, you need to take your time.

Zhou Zhi lay on the kang and silently recited the pages of the book he had read this morning. I didn't want to stop until the melon on my back was ripe.

、、、、、、

The second day was still the same as yesterday, getting up early to read, feeding the horses, and going to the threshing floor to make blanks, while mechanically beating the blanks, while reviewing in my mind the pages of the books I had read in the morning.

After all, her sister Zhou Luyun felt sorry for her younger brother, she didn't listen to Zhou Zhi's words and rested at home. Instead, after feeding the chickens and washing the clothes that the family had changed over the past few days, they came to the barn to help.

In the Ming Dynasty, girls from poor peasant families were not as good as women from wealthy families. The women of wealthy families are raised in the deep boudoir, and the door is not out of the door, and they are pampered. But the girls from poor families have to work all day, and they still have to go to the fields during the busy farming season.

Sister Zhou Luyun is the eldest daughter, and she took on a lot of housework at home early, helping to dry grain and threshing wheat during the busy farming season, and even ploughing the fields.

Although she is not very tall, her figure is very well-proportioned, and after a long period of work, she has some strength.

As soon as Zhou Zhi saw his sister, his face became gloomy, and he said seriously unhappily, "Sister go home, this blank beating is not a job you can do, besides, Xiao Zhi only has an idea, and it may not be successful." There is no point in my sister helping here. ”

"Sister, no matter what the meaning is, it doesn't mean anything, didn't my sister tell you, as long as it's something Xiaozhi wants to do, it will not be bad, and my sister will resolutely support you."

As Zhou Luyun spoke, he picked up the shovel and went to the edge of the pit to make mud.

Seeing that his sister is so stubborn, Zhou Zhi has nothing to say. can only secretly make up his mind, this vegetable greenhouse must be successful, otherwise even his sister will be sorry.

With the help of my sister Zhou Luyun, the speed of blanking is much faster.

Because yesterday's sun was good, and today is a good sunny day, the adobe that Zhou Zhi beat out yesterday has already been dried at this time. Zhou Luyun prepared a lot of stirred soil for Zhou Zhi, and then stacked the dried adobe again.

Seeing that his younger brother Zhou Zhi always looked displeased, Zhou Luyun laughed softly, "Xiaozhi, you are suddenly literate, and you won the bet against the third young master of the Chen family, and the people in the village say that you are very bright and bold, and many people admire you!" A few days ago, you made bellows, and you have a reputation for being smart and capable outside the village.

Speaking of which, my family is also big, as smart as my family's Xiaozhi is, I can't tell how many daughters will fall in love with my family's Xiaozhili now!

Xiaozhi, talk to my sister, what kind of woman do you want to please? ”

Zhou Luyun was obviously making Zhou Zhi happy. However, this is also what she is talking about, and she has long been thinking about the future.

When Zhou Zhi heard this, his face turned red, and he said, "Sister, don't make fun of Xiaozhi, where does Xiaozhi have any reputation?" How will you make a girl from a large number of families like it? ”

"Oops! I'm embarrassed, Xiaozhi's face is red! Zhou Luyun chuckled and then said.

There were no outsiders on the barn field, and Zhou Luyun and his younger brother naturally spoke very casually. If there are outsiders, Zhou Luyun will definitely pay attention to his identity and be much more reserved.

Am I blushing? It shouldn't be. It's just that when my sister said that many girls from other families liked me, I suddenly thought about the woman in white who shot geese in the barn that day.

She looks so good in women's and men's clothes, and if she wants to change into her daughter's outfit, she must be extremely beautiful. The most important thing is that the woman in white also shoots a good arrow.

Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but have an embarrassed smile on the corner of his mouth.

I don't know who the daughter of the woman in white is, and it seems that she is definitely from a rich and powerful family.

It's really true, just a meeting on the valley that day, and the woman in white often appeared in Zhou Zhi's mind. It's no wonder that after crossing the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time he has had a brief intersection with a beautiful woman.

The younger brother Zhou Shaocheng didn't know how he knew that Zhou Zhi was making blanks in the barn field, and he also jumped to the barn field. Although the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng couldn't help much, with his joining, the three sisters and brothers on the barn soon laughed and laughed, immersed in the happiness of work.
