The luckiest thing for Ye Chen is that he can live for two lifetimes, and the unluckiest thing is that he has lived for two lifetimes.

"What's going on today, it's been going on and off for almost half a month, and the rice is going to rot in the ground."

"I'm afraid this year's hard work will be in vain, and I can't pass the year, hey......"

"How's that for good? This...... Hey......"

"child, don't cry, don't cry, ask Achen tomorrow, she has the most ideas."

The two of them were lying on the kang in the house at the moment, she listened to the voice next door gradually lowered, sighed and sat up.

"What can I do, I can see that the price of food is going to rise this year, and I am not the dragon king, so I can manage the rain." Ye Chen muttered to himself, and the dragon king seemed to laugh at her, and slammed down a thunderbolt, illuminating the small and damp room.

"Hey...... What to do? What to do? Ye Chen, why are you so unlucky? Staring at Fang Liang, she sighed again about what had happened to her life.

Ye Chen is twelve years old this year, and it has been seven years since she came here, and she still remembers that it was a summer when she first came, and her body seemed to have a head injury, and her family did not allow her to get out of bed and walk around.

In the dog days, Ye Chen lay on the kang for a whole week, the prickly heat got up, and when the whole person was about to go crazy, her mother allowed her to get out of bed.

For the past seven years, what Ye Chen has been thinking about doing every day is to improve her living conditions, but she found that the people here seem to be very happy as long as they are full, and they don't pay much attention to other things, which makes her really crazy.

However, she used to study gardening, and she didn't have much to do with agriculture, but fortunately, she went to an agricultural school, and she knew a little bit about it. But in the end, the crop varieties are not good, and the facilities are too backward, so in the end, they still can't escape watching the sky and eating.

Ye Chen often complains about injustice, and always feels that it is too aggrieved to be like this for a lifetime, and it is better not to relive this life, but when he thinks about it, he is better than most people in the village, so it is too useless to admit defeat like this.

Because of this idea, Ye Chen has been like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang in the past few years, whether it is farming in the field or relying on Li Xiucai to read and write.

Speaking of this Li Xiucai, Ye Chen felt that it was God's favor to have such a person in the village who could read and break words. I still remember when I was eight years old, I heard that such a person came to the village, and he lived not far from Ye Chen's house.

"Brother Xiucai, can you teach me to read?" Ye Chen curled the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a dimple, selling cuteness to the somewhat cold Xiucai in front of him.

Gao Lengxiu glanced at the little girl, and asked with some curiosity: "You little girl, why do you have to read and write, why don't you learn embroidery?" ”

"I don't want to learn embroidery, can you teach me to read?" Ye Chen endured goosebumps all over his body and continued to sell cuteness.

"I want to prepare for the scientific examination, I don't have time to teach you, you go find someone else!" Xiucai lowered his head and continued to read, not ready to deal with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen couldn't maintain the smile on the corner of her mouth any longer, she simply took out a dusty book from under the Xiucai bookcase, and looked at it seriously. This look startled Ye Chen, this is similar to traditional Chinese characters!

Even Meng guessed, isn't this "Thousand Words", just as he was reading it, the book was taken away by Li Xiucai. He frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts: "After watching it for so long?" Can you really understand it? ”

Ye Chen's heart moved slightly, and he decided to hang Xiucai's appetite, "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." ”

Xiucai's eyes opened slightly, and he was really a little surprised, "I really recognize it, so what do you want me to teach you to do?" ”

"Of course you want to, Brother Xiucai, did you agree?" Ye Chen saw him mention the matter of teaching, and hurriedly climbed up the pole.

Na Xiucai knocked the book into a scroll and knocked it on Ye Chen's head at once, "Every day." ”

Since then, Ye Chen has been reading books with Li Xiucai for an hour every day. Li Xiucai said that he would take the township examination in September, and if he passed the examination, he would go to Beijing to take the examination next year.

After Ye Chen learned about it, he must pray every day that Li Xiucai will not be on the list, it is rare to have someone who can teach him to read, isn't it?

Ye Chen's wish was ultimately frustrated. Li Xiucai not only went to high school, but also had to understand Yuan, on the day he went to Beijing, he left the key to his house to Ye Chen, and left without looking back.

Fortunately, Ye Chen has learned 1,300 words, and he already knows almost the same words, so he can read the books left by Xiucai slowly. But after all, the farmer is busy, and Li Xiucai has left all the people who are there, Ye Chen has only swallowed dates in the past few years, and he has seen some rough things in the farming slack, that is, he is a half-hanger.

She learned from Li Xiucai that this country is called Da Yin, which is a dynasty that has never appeared in history, and its living customs and social system are similar to those of the Tang and Song dynasties, but there are many differences. And now it is the new emperor who has succeeded to the throne, and the country is somewhat turbulent.

Ye Chen's thoughts gradually dissipated, and he couldn't help but fall asleep.

"Achen, you said that this rain has been raining for so long, and the rice has rotted in the ground, do you have any way?" Father Ye stirred the corn paste in the bowl, and looked at Ye Chen's eyes a little bright.

"The rice must not be saved, this rain is so heavy, I am afraid that all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have been affected, and the crops depend on the sky for food, and the price of grain will rise this year. Before everyone understands, let's buy food quickly. Ye Chen put down his chopsticks and said helplessly.

"The family has saved some money over the years, and I thought that I would send your brother to study in the school after the New Year, but now I use it in advance." Father Ye looked at his son, his eyes full of guilt.

"I don't have to read, if I have any money left, I can buy books for my sister, she likes this the most, I don't like it." Ye Jing said with a smile. Ye Chen saw a flash of loss in her brother's eyes, as fast as a meteor slipping down, she thought it was an illusion.

"Hey...... Okay, I'll go buy food in a few days. Daddy Ye let out a long sigh.

Three days later, the rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, and Ye Dad couldn't wait for the weather to clear and was ready to go into the city to buy food. Ye Chen frowned and looked at the sky, feeling palpitations inexplicably, so he hurriedly said: "It should rain again in a while, what if it is blocked in the middle of the road, wait a little longer." ”

"You can't wait any longer, there is a fixed amount of food in the city, and if it is gone, I don't know how long it will take." Ye Dad picked up the burden and walked out the door.

He has always been so stubborn and almost reckless, Ye Chen still remembers that when he first wore it for half a year, he planted corn in his own field, and the leaves of the seedlings that grew were yellow and scorched, and Ye Dad thought that the seeds given by the Li family next door were not good. Regardless of the theory, Ye Chen went to the field to see the corn seedlings, and guessed that it was a disease caused by nitrogen deficiency.

However, how did Ye Chen explain to Ye Dad that it was a fertilizer, there was no problem with the seeds, and Ye Dad always didn't believe it, after all, what does a five-year-old child know? In the end, I went to make a fuss. The Li family naturally didn't give bad seeds, but they didn't know how to explain it, and only deduced that the Ye family's land was not good, but it was also crooked.

Ye Chen asked his father to pull out the corn and asked him to plant a line of corn and soybeans. Father Ye didn't agree at first, isn't this nonsense, how can there be such a farming. But I couldn't bear my daughter's soft grinding and hard foaming, and the corn in the field didn't know how to be good, so I followed her wishes, but I didn't think that the same corn seeds, the seedlings were green and strong.

From that time on, Ye Dad always liked to ask Ye Chen if he had anything to make up his mind. But this time, Daddy Ye's temper came up, just like last time, no one could stop him.

Ye Chen looked at his father and rushed out of the door, always feeling uncomfortable in his heart, it felt like something was looking at her in the dark, weird.

What the hell, what did he ignore, Ye Chen knocked on his head, and his brows twisted into a dead knot. The sky was still overcast, and the heavy clouds were about to be pressed down, and the gloom made people feel palpitations.

Ye Chen wrapped her clothes, this summer that should have been hot was surprisingly cold, and she had been wearing a lot of clothes in the past few days.

When I returned to the house, I saw my mother sitting on the kang to mend my father's clothes, but my mother was obviously absent-minded, she was gesturing with a rag, but her eyes were stunned to look at the sewing basket.

Ye Jing sat on the side, frowning at the "Book of Songs" left to her by Li Xiucai. Ye Jing's literacy was taught by Ye Chen, and the text here is similar to the traditional Chinese characters of the previous life, Ye Chen looked at the book and interrogated Li Xiucai, which was very simple to remember.

The family seems to have long recognized that their youngest daughter is extraordinary, and they are not too surprised by this incident, but they are more convinced of her in major matters.

"Mother, don't worry, there is a pavilion on the road, if it rains, Dad will hide from it. It's only ten miles away, and in three hours at most, my father will come back. Ye Chen climbed onto the kang and said softly.

Mother Ye sighed and simply put down the work in her hand, "But my heart is always up and down, Ah Chen, nothing will happen to your father?" Phew! She hurriedly snorted again.

"No matter what you think, you can still let Dad fly back immediately, you have been staring at this cloth for almost half an hour, or I will sew it for Dad, you can rest for a while." Ye Chen was about to grab the cloth, but when he saw his mother, he slapped her hand away, "With your craftsmanship, can your father wear it out, didn't I say you, which girl is like you, not to mention embroidery, she won't even accept the sole of her shoes." ”

"Stop, stop, who doesn't know that your embroidery is exquisite, you come by yourself, come by yourself, and if you don't want to retreat." Ye Chen turned around and approached his brother's side.

The brother whispered in her ear: "You little naughty ghost, and you make your mother angry." ”

"Definitely, I'm coaxing my mother to be happy." Ye Chen probed over.

The two laughed and discussed the "Book of Songs", in "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost." In the recitation, Ye Chen gradually forgot the feeling of palpitations, but she didn't know that the thing she couldn't remember would leave her with nothing in an instant.
