The iron should be struck while it was hot, and Shen Jiaji immediately asked Shen Kan to bring the book protection box and take out a full sticker.

It has been written in advance, with eighty taels of gold, eighteen taels of rituals, and the name is worshipped.

It is much higher than the current bundle, and the average ordinary country is only about twelve taels of silver a year, managing three meals a day, and the city is generally thirty or forty taels, plus gifts for the New Year's holidays, and Shenjia Village gave a full double the honorarium.

Shen Kan is very excited, the quality of the teacher is too important, not only can he learn useful knowledge, but also the teacher of a respected person will undoubtedly play a lot of role in promoting all aspects of the future.

As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, Shen Kan bowed his head respectfully and bowed, and Mr. Qianzhai accepted it with a smile.

Shen Jiaji also thanked Brother Wang and thanked his friend Mr. Yunnong.

After sitting for a while, they said goodbye and got up, and the Wang brothers sent out the door.

On the way, Mr. Yunnong said with a smile: "Pre-set up a plan for your children, and try your best to choose friends." Daogu, who is your fourth uncle all this for, you should know in your heart. ”

"I know." Shen Kan nodded heavily.

"Daogu, just work hard." Shen Jiaji smiled.

"Yes." Shen Kan nodded again.

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and the first month has passed unconsciously.

The weeping willows in the south of the Yangtze River have stretched out their branches of yellow and green leaves, dancing in the warm spring breeze, and the peach trees have also bloomed bright red flowers one after another.

The whole Wuzhong area is moistened by the spring breeze, and the red kapok, the pink peony flowers, and the white jade moon flowers also bloom one after another...... Some of the flowers are full of buds, some are budding, some are blooming, and the refreshing fragrance of the flowers attracts a large number of bees and mischievous butterflies......

In such a good weather, Sister Chunmei was lying lazily on the kang at the moment, with no intention of cooking, washing clothes, or raising chickens and ducks.

I still remember the words of my father the night before I got married: "Follow my father at home, marry my husband, how can my husband have anything wrong, I can only whisper and gently persuade him, and I must not be angry, let alone talk about it."

"Is there too little persuasion for him?" Sister Chunmei rarely reviews herself.

After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly sighed deeply, got up listlessly, and began to do the trivial housework that seemed to never be done.

Carrying the bedding out to dry, Sister Chunmei's mood improved a little because of the sunny weather, but when she looked outside, she frowned and said, "What a ghost, why did this world change all of a sudden?"

From the first day of the second month, the village began to become unpeaceful and quiet, and some people, men and women, old and young, came from somewhere.

Even her husband Shen Dazhu suddenly changed, becoming more rough and fierce than before, but fortunately it was not for her.

It was rare to come back the night before, the couple made love, Shen Dazhu took out a long knife, sharpened the knife in the middle of the night, and said that he was going to enter a meeting, that there would be food, money, and gambling money and wine.

Recently, Sister Chunmei's sources have become more and more closed, and she doesn't understand what is going on outside.

When she saw her husband sharpening the knife last night, she couldn't help but be scared, worried that her husband would hack her to death with a knife, and her husband's eyes were gloomy and terrifying, showing a strong killing intent from time to time.

"Don't go outside! You know what?"

Before dawn, Shen Dazhu held the knife and rolled his sleeves with his hands, "I'm going to the meeting, maybe somewhere else." At night, you close the door early, it's not a peaceful time. ”

"Got it." Sister Chunmei shuddered in response, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.

In the past two days, she was afraid of her husband, and she really stayed at home all day and night, not daring to go out.

But today's weather is so good, Sister Chunmei wants to ask why her husband wants to join the meeting, why there are so many strangers in the village, driven by curiosity, she is determined to run out for a walk.

I took the pitchfork off the wall and cleaned it up in front of the mirror, firstly for self-defense, and secondly, I went to the pasture to fork two bundles of straw and came back to start a fire.

The village is still the same, no change from last year, but there are more people I don't know, and the original temple has a new school.

Sister Chunmei walked slowly through a path, the straw on the grass was piled up like a house, and next to one of the straws, there was a person in a long coat and a person in a short coat talking.

She didn't notice anyone, so she picked up her fork and forked it back and forth in two piles, tied it casually, and was about to drag it home.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Who?"

She turned around, and a young man came out to look at her, it turned out to be Zhang Mutou, the eldest son of Aunt Zhang next door.

"Did Big Brother come home last night?"

"Nope."

Sister Chunmei responded softly, and glanced at the other young man with his back to her, who was in good shape.

"Oh! Last night he got into a fight with someone in the meeting and ran out. Zhang Mutou groaned, "This guy, probably where did he go to play cards." ”

"Which big brother?"

"That's it...... It's the one who doesn't want to practice and quarrels with the instructor, and he only knows how to eat, drink, play money, and play with the big pillar of the girls all day long. Zhang Mutou said and glanced at Sister Chunmei, "Well, this is his lady, called Sister Chunmei." ”

Sister Chunmei's face suddenly turned red, and she resented the big wood that spoke mercilessly in person, and without saying a word, she turned around and was about to drag away the straw.

Suddenly, Zhang Mutou remembered and shouted, "I forgot that you two knew each other."

The young man in the cyan robe turned around, and Sister Chunmei also turned her head, and his eyes and hers suddenly came into contact with each other.

The white, handsome, plump face, a pair of long eyelashes, star-like eyes......

For some reason, Sister Chunmei was subconsciously taken aback, dragging the straw and fork vigorously, and ran towards home.

"Run for what?" Shen Kan was very speechless, doesn't this seem to be a cover-up?

"She's embarrassed to see me, and you know how she left the Shen family." Shen Kan said to Zhang Mutou, who was squeezing his eyebrows.

"Hey, hey." Zhang Mutou rubbed his hands with envy,

"Bastard." Shen Kan said angrily.

"I didn't say anything?" Zhang Mutou was still laughing.

"Forget it, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Shen Kan frowned, "You hurry up and inform the big guys, over twelve years old, under eighteen years old, you must go to the playground of the academy every day to practice martial arts, divide the team, and help share the responsibility of patrolling the village day and night." ”

Zhang Mutou nodded in response and asked, "Brother Mu, do you say that the damned widows really dare to come to our Suzhou?"

Shen Kan said: "It's so close to the sea, let alone Suzhou, in case all parts of the country can't resist it, I'm afraid that even Jinling will dare to go."

"These wolf-hearted demons." Zhang Mutou angrily spat on the ground.

It turned out that a few days ago, the news of the Japanese invasion of the coastal islands suddenly came, and an unknown number of Japanese people rushed into the fishing village, killing people everywhere and setting fires, raping women, not only robbing money, but even digging graves and digging graves.

The people along the coast were frightened and fled inland with their families and families, and the strangers in the village were among them.

With the influx of refugees, there was a lot of noise inside and outside Suzhou, and angry people immediately organized themselves to defend their homes.

The government is becoming more and more popular, coastal defense has long been relaxed, and the arrogance of the Japanese invaders has become more arrogant in recent years, so the common people dare not pin their lives on the officials and soldiers.

The town set up a society to exterminate the Japanese, led by the fourth uncle Shen Jiaji and the Sun family Ye family and other gentry, some local businessmen have funded money and grain, and the organization's manpower will not only guard the hometown, but also be ready to support various places.

During the Jiajing period, due to the continuous invasion of the Japanese pirates, officials in various places had a great headache for the erratic and cruel and abnormal Japanese pirates, and the officials and soldiers were still powerless to defend the long coastline and important towns, after all, they were no longer the army of the early Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it was inevitable for the government to encourage the people to train village soldiers, not only for the Han people, but also for the Miao, Zhuang, Yao and other ethnic groups.

Although Shen Kan had expected to face the Japanese invaders, he did not expect it to be so soon, and the Jiajing period in history was the most rampant era of the Japanese invaders.

Since he had caught up with him, he had to do something, and his current age was not suitable for the battlefield, and to be honest, he didn't dare to do it, so he consciously took charge of organizing the youth in the village.
