Yuan Ning smiled and said, "Didn't we recognize a godfather in the county seat?" People tell me how to prune fruit trees, and the next year will produce better fruit, don't I want to give it a try? ”

The man sighed: "Poor children without fathers and mothers! If you have any difficulties, tell your uncle that we will help if we can. ”

It's just a favor, of course Yuan Ning won't take it seriously, he responded with a smile and thanked him.

When I got home, I started to prepare for the winter.

This time they didn't ask outsiders for help, but Yuan Ning climbed on the roof and picked up the original thatch to dry it, so as not to rot.

Uncle Zhao next door saw that he wanted to help, but he was also refused.

Uncle Zhao went to help bring some thatch over, tied it up, and taught Yuan Ning how to make it stronger.

"I think it's better to find a few people to help you rebuild your house, even if it's just two rooms," Uncle Zhao said as he sighed, "It's not a way to go on like this." ”

The basic structure of this old house is no longer good, and no matter how much it is repaired, it is just a makeover.

Yuan Ning thanked him, spread the dry thatch, compacted it with dry soil, and then spread another layer of ......

It took several days to fix the roof.

Their back wall was also a little crooked, which they couldn't do with their strength alone, so they asked a few neighbors to help, and used wood to hold it up, and put a circle of straw around the wall, which could also play a certain role in keeping warm.

Before you know it, it's the first day of October. This day is the Winter Clothes Festival, and the folk custom is to burn cotton clothes for deceased relatives to prevent them from freezing underground.

Originally, in his own world, Yuan Ning did not participate in such activities, but now he follows the customs of the locals, and also bought some paper money, and burned it with his younger brothers and sisters at the intersection, and while burning, he also chattered to let his family come to receive money to buy cotton clothes for the winter.

Because Ji Xiu was still young, they were very fast, burned the paper, and went home, and many families came out one after another.

In October, the weather is already very cold, but in order to save firewood, the villagers will stay up until they can't stand it anymore before lighting a fire.

Yuan Ning considered that the family was full of children, especially Ji Xiu, who was younger and must not be frozen, so he changed the quilt to a thick one early, and tried to burn the fire wall two days ago, and the cooking place was also moved from outside the house to the hall.

In this way, even the fire wall is warm when cooking, and the temperature in the house naturally rises a lot.

At night, a kang will be burned, and there is no need to burn too much firewood, and the kang is a little warm, so the house will not be too cold.

Because there was a lot of firewood saved before, it would not be a problem to burn it for a winter with such a big hand.

In the following time, in addition to necessary exercises and going to the city, Yuan Ning stayed at home to teach his younger siblings literacy, memorization of simple poems, and arithmetic.

Don't look at Shu Yu's young age, after he can recognize ten numbers, it is no problem for him to do a simple four-square grid Sudoku.

Zhong Ling has a better memory, and he can rarely forget the words he has learned and the poems he has memorized, but his flexibility is relatively poor.

Bo Zhong is more comprehensive, and it is not bad in all aspects.

After a month like this, Bo Zhong recognized 200 words, Zhong Ling also recognized 100, and Shu Yu recognized 20 or 30 words.

Yuan Ning was quite satisfied with this result, after all, they didn't have teaching materials, and all the teaching aids were made by her.

There is no paper at home, so to practice calligraphy, I just hold a branch and draw on the ground.

The house was relatively warm, and the strawberries planted before were growing well, and the original wooden trough could no longer grow, so Yuan Ning made two more and divided the seedlings, and some strawberry seedlings were about to bloom.

Yuan Ning paid special attention to keeping them warm, and even moved them to the stove and the fire wall at night.

The rest of them all thought this thing was rare, "Eldest sister, they are still climbing vines!" ”

"Yes," Yuan Ning smiled, "After a while, I will bear fruit and satisfy your cravings." ”

"What?" Shu Yu didn't believe it, "Can this thing still bear fruit?" ”

Yuan Ning smiled, "You'll know in a while!" As he spoke, he sprinkled the ashes along the edge of the trough.

The business of the shop is also not bad, and basically the expenses can be earned. Of course, this is also supposed to be the New Year, there are more people who come out to buy cloth, Zhu Ji's cloth is of high quality, and the price is not expensive, so there is today's sales.

Because it is inconspicuous, it has not attracted special attention from others.

Thinking that the Chinese New Year was about to come, Yuan Ning took Bo Zhong to take Zhang Ergou's car to the county seat, under the banner of giving gifts to his godgrandmother, but in fact, he was also buying New Year's goods.

As soon as I entered the county, I heard that Su County Ling had recently cracked another big case and was praised by the above.

This time, I caught the murderer of a serial murder!

The streets and alleys were full of chatter.

Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong said: "Listen, this Su County Commander is able to become an official because he has read a book, and he has experienced a lot of things, so he has the experience of handling cases, and he can solve the case so quickly."

Of course, this must also be indispensable to his observation of details, but everything that has been done will definitely leave traces, as long as you follow the clues, you will definitely be able to find clues.

"In the future, you must be extra careful in doing things, and Su County Order is a good example for you to learn!"

Bo Zhong was also full of admiration for this legendary county lord, "After Lord Su came to us, we are getting better and better here!" ”

Before the arrival of Su County, their Tianqing County was also full of chaos, people's livelihood was not good, and bandits were rampant.

After he came, he first used thunderous means to deal with bandits, and then led the people of the county to open up wasteland, dig ditches, and build roads......

When the people were poor and had no food, he made it his decision to let the people borrow money from the government without paying interest.

In just two years, the weather in Tianqing County has turned around.

And Su County's order has not been rewarded once or twice, but he is young and not in a hurry to be promoted, and he swore to the elders of Tianqing County a while ago that he must take the people of the entire county on the road to prosperity before he is willing to leave.

Bo Zhong naturally regarded this young and promising Su County Commander as his "idol".

Yuan Ning also admires this person very much, it is really rare for a young man to become famous, and he can not be arrogant or impatient, and calm down to really do things for the people.

In addition to bringing some cabbage and radishes from home, the two of them also bought four kinds of snacks when they went to the city, and went to Lin Daniang's house.

It just so happened that Lin Yue was not on duty recently, and he was also at home, and received them very warmly.

The rest of Aunt Lin's children and grandchildren saw that they did not come empty-handed this time, and the smiles on their faces naturally increased a little, and they also kept them to eat.

Of course, Yuan Ning could see that few people were sincere, so he politely declined, saying that he was in a hurry to go back to the countryside, so he took his leave.
