"I'll pour it myself if I want tea." Step Mother spoke, took the cup and took a sip.

In the past, more than ten acres of land at home were all managed by two husbands and wives, but this year more than half of the land has been reduced, and she is also a lot more leisurely, so she occasionally comes to sit and sit.

As usual, sit down and start complaining.

"The Buxiu family is really not a life, in the early days of turning over the field and asking someone to turn over, until now, a few acres of dry land have not planted anything, seeing that the rainy season is coming, and sleeping until the sun basks every day before getting up."

"And I also bought rouge gouache and came back to rub it, what kind of rouge gouache do rural people make, your father-in-law is almost angry with such a person every day."

She also asked Bu Xiu to go to the town to buy a lot of snacks, eat non-stop all day long, kill a chicken in three days, kill a duck in five days, is this a person who lives? It's really a poor husband sleeping on a rotten mat. ”

Jiang Yi smiled and didn't answer, she knew that her mother-in-law was just angry and wanted to find someone to talk to and vent. After all, most of them are the belongings she earned, and now it is normal to share them with others like this, and it is normal to not be able to stand it.

"Kill a chicken or something, let alone eat a piece of chicken, you can't see her family with chicken feathers, you say, what kind of person is this?!"

Step mother is diligent and thrifty, hard-working, hard-working, and even cowardly, but there must be some bad things that country mothers are used to, like to talk long and short, and it is normal to find someone to spit out bitterness when she is wronged.

"Where's the big brother?"

"He is not like a head of the house, running to the town all day long, alas, how long can such a home last."

"I heard that they are also planning to get an ox cart and ask your eldest brother to drive the cart, and want to learn from you to do business, I'm afraid it's not this kind of material."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it for half an hour, and the stepmother was afraid that her man would be thirsty, so when she sent the pot of water, Jiang Yi also followed, squatting down and pinching potato seedlings.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bu Shuigui saw it and hurriedly shouted; "When it looks just right, why are you going to pinch it?" The fierce look seemed to pinch his heart.

Jiang Yi sneered; "Dad, this potato sprout can also be eaten, it is very delicious to eat as a green vegetable, and it has no effect if you pinch a little bit of each plant."

She remembers that when she was a child in the countryside, there was a variety of sweet potato that specialized in eating potato seedlings, and it was said that if she always pinched potato seedlings to eat, the yield of sweet potatoes would be affected.

But she was really hungry for this potato sprout, she often ate it when she was a child, and she missed it after not eating it for a long time. So knowing that the impact was not great, I decided to make a meal of potatoes and sprouts to eat.

"Look at you, you didn't plant it, how can you care more than others." seemed to be afraid that her daughter-in-law would be wronged, and her mother said that Bushui was expensive.

"Did Buyou go to the academy? You can eat here at noon. Jiang Yi was not willing to pick too much, so she grabbed a small handful in her hand and didn't continue to pick it.

"That's right, I used to have to help Buyou do farm work, but now that there is less land, let him go to the school with peace of mind."

"I just don't know if his two brothers are reading materials."

Jiang Yi pointed to the room, through the window, you can see Bu Ru writing, Dao; "The three of us have been chatting here for so long, Bu Ru didn't have the distraction to come over to talk a few words, so attentive and serious, he must be reading material, I have confidence in him."

Bu Shuigui also seemed to think of this, with relief in his eyes; "I was not sensible before, and I scolded you much more seriously, step Confucianism, you will teach virtuous enough, and he is well-behaved and obedient enough, I also hope that he will be admitted, not to mention that he will be a great man, and he will be able to become a respected and respected person in the town and village after taking the exam."

"I'm relieved of your family, it's your eldest brother's house, it's all angry, alas."

Although it is a belly of fire, it is precisely because of real concern that it will be sad that it is too lazy and angry that it is delicious, and the fire in my heart is because of concern.

Jiang Yidao; "Then don't talk about them, let's go back and cook and eat."

The simple lunch was quickly prepared, and when the meal was served, Jiang Zhen also returned. So he called Buru over, and everyone sat down together to eat casually.

Bu Ru sandwiched the potato seedling road; "These potato sprouts are so delicious, they taste good, and they're a little slippery."

"Yes, there are these potato seedlings to eat as greens, even if they don't bear fruit underground, it's worth planting," Bu Shuigui ate a few potato seedlings and said happily.

Jiang Yi also smiled; "Northerners love meat, and most southerners are used to eating greens, so if you have this potato sprout, it's a good choice when you don't have greens."

"When I went to the market today, I saw a lot of northerners." Seeing that he was talking about the northerners, Jiang Zhen interjected.

Bu Ru asked; "Are you here for business?" Now that commerce is developed, it is normal for northerners to come to do business.

"We are in the middle of nowhere, what business is there to do?" Jiang Yi asked suspiciously.

Jiang Zhendao; "No, I heard the people in the town say that they fled to our place, and there was a famine in the north, and some people couldn't survive, so they fled to our place."

Don't look at the current Lin Feng Town is still peaceful here, but in fact, I heard that the outside is still quite chaotic, especially in the north, I don't know what the reason is, winter always comes early, goes late, it seems like the Xiaoice period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the rain is insufficient every year, resulting in crops that do not grow well, the people are not happy, and thieves are everywhere.

"Alas, don't worry about others, let's just live our own lives." Bu Shuigui took another potato seedling and put it in his mouth, chewing while saying.

Everyone was drinking rice porridge in a hurry, and Bu Ru suddenly said; "Brother-in-law, I'll go to town with you in the afternoon."

"Why are you going to town when you're not studying at home?" Bu Shuigui frowned.

Although the family has been separated, Bu Shuigui is still in Bu Ru's heart, he drank a mouthful of rice porridge, chewed a few pieces at will and swallowed it, lowered his head and said; "I've finished reading the "University" in my hand, and I want to go to the town to get a new book with Zhao Fuzi."

Zhao Fuzi is the down-and-out old showman.

Jiang Yi nodded and said; "Actually, I'll go with you, I'll go buy some goods by the way."

Although Bu Ru did not formally worship Zhao Fuzi as a teacher, he was in fact already a teacher of Bu Ru, and it was rude not to visit during the New Year.

The book "University" has one chapter and ten chapters, less than 5,000 words, and if it is an ordinary article, it will not take half an hour to read it.

But these thousands of words are obscure, and the meaning of the sage is profound and mysterious, and it is not enough to read it at a glance and ten lines, and this book has been interpreted by countless predecessors, and there are many words in the commentary.

These annotations are also the meaning of the sage, and they are the standard answers for scientific examinations, and they will also be tested in future scientific examinations, so they must also be thoroughly understood.

It takes a lot of time to memorize the full text and the annotations, and to understand the meaning of the text.

But if you are diligent, one month is almost enough, and Bu Ru has been reading for almost two months.
