Remember [Reading Books] in a second, wonderful reading network!
"Eldest sister, Shichiro is ...... in the academy."
"Mother, second sister, fourth sister, you will cut all the seedlings in the greenhouse, let's drag it to Mr. Yan's field, our family will plant it for Mr. Yan's family, and the second sister will go to the Wang family, Huzi's family and Zhang's family, and ask Uncle Wang, Zhang Langzhong, Zhang's eldest brother and Huzi to help our family plant seedlings on Mr. Yan's land, give them twenty copper plate wages, and plant two acres of land, second sister, you ask Uncle Wang to find a few more people to help our family.
Mother, after you finish cutting the seedlings, make a few more torches, now it's dark, you can't do anything without light, and I'm afraid I'll come back later tonight, mother, you make some food and prepare it, and when we come back, we will pad our stomachs, and my daughter will go to Uncle Lizheng's house to borrow an ox cart." After Liu Yiyu sighed in his heart, he waved his hand at Liu Li's family, and then after pondering for a while, he commanded.
"After my mother, the seventh brother will be enrolled, and we will pay as much as we want, so as not to weaken the seventh brother in the academy." Liu Yiyu thought of this.
"Mother, this is ......, this is what I want to ......."
"What does my mother think, my daughter also knows it in her heart, people fight for a breath of Buddha to receive a stick of incense, no matter how good our family is, there will be no less money, otherwise, our family will not provide the seventh brother to go to the academy to study."
"Well, my mother understands". After Liu Li heard the eldest sister's words, his eyes were a little moist and he replied.
Immediately, the sisters of the Liu family began to get busy again.
After Wang Lizheng saw that the Liu family came to borrow the oxcart so late, Wang Lizheng asked a few words casually, and heard that the Liu family borrowed the oxcart to sow seeds and seedlings for Mr. Liu Yiyang's family, and Li Zheng brought his eldest and second child to help without saying a word.
After Liu Yiyu borrowed the ox cart and went home, the third sister had already invited Uncle Wang and others.
Subsequently, the group carried the seedlings onto the ox cart, took hoes, torches and other tools, and walked to Yan Xiucai's house.
After coming to the next village, it was already the end of the night, Liu Yiyu knocked on the door of a farmhouse, and after asking Yan Xiucai's place clearly, where did Liu Yiyu and the others go.
"This is it, this place is exactly what the villagers say." Liu Yiyu recalled in his mind what the villager had just said, and after comparing it again, he confirmed it.
"Okay, let's hurry up and go home."
This time, Zhang Langzhong and the eldest brother of the Zhang family, Huzi, Uncle Wang, and Uncle Lizheng were invited to sow seeds for Yan Xiucai's family, and Uncle Lao Yu and Uncle Da Kun were also invited, a total of nine people.
The Liu family came, and there were five sisters plus Xun'er.
The group was divided into two groups to sow seeds in two acres of land, and the sisters of the Liu family held torches to illuminate the field for Uncle Wang to work, but fortunately nine adult laborers were invited to work.
After returning to the village, Liu Yiyu beckoned the group to come home and have a supper, and when he left, Liu Yiyu gave 20 copper plates for wages.
At first, they refused, Liu Yiyu said badly, I asked you to work in the middle of the night, you are tired, you must accept the wages, saying that if you don't collect money this time, it will be difficult for you to go back and explain to the aunts at home, and when you go home, you will be angry with the aunts, and you will not dare to ask you to help next time.
When they heard this, they immediately hesitated, and after Liu Yiyu said it, they took the money and left.
"Eldest sister, you are all tired tonight, my mother has boiled hot water for you, you all wash and sleep!"
"Mother, you're tired tonight, don't worry about your daughters, you also hurry up and go to sleep, second sister, you go wash first, I'll go to the seventh brother to see." Liu Yiyu said after seeing that the lights were still on in the seventh brother's house.
"This is the fifth piece of coarse paper I have saved, and when I have better handwriting, I will practice calligraphy from this coarse paper." Liu Yiyang touched the coarse paper that was a foot long and wide, and said with some nostalgia.
In the past, Yanlin Academy, once every seven days, the academy would issue a piece of coarse paper, Yan Xiucai taught the students below to practice calligraphy, every time Liu Yiyang practiced this class, he would secretly leave the coarse paper, now Liu Yiyang knows that he still can't write, if he uses coarse paper to practice words, it is a pure waste of paper, when practicing words, Liu Yiyang is just thinking about it, holding a pen in his hand, and the void simulates practicing writing and drawing.
"Fifth brother, so late, so haven't you slept yet?".
"Big sister, I'll sleep right away." After Liu Yiyang heard the voice, he hurriedly put away the coarse paper in his hand and put it in the drawer on the side, but Liu Yiyang's hands and feet were a little fast, and he didn't close the drawer tightly, Liu Yiyu, who came to Liu Yiyang, glanced at the drawer that Liu Yiyang hadn't closed tightly, and after seeing the coarse paper inside, Liu Yiyu's heart turned.
"The matter has been resolved, the seventh brother can study with peace of mind in the future, but don't live up to the expectations of your mother and sisters." Liu Yiyu touched Liu Yiyang's head and said softly.
"Well, I will, eldest sister, it's good to have you, you are like a big tree, sheltering us from the wind and rain, and it is our family's safe haven, the seventh brother feels that there is nothing in this world that is difficult for the eldest sister?". Liu Yiyang leaned his head on Liu Yiyu's arms and whispered.
"The eldest sister has you, why is it not the case, and the eldest sister is not a fairy, she doesn't do everything, just like grandma's illness, the eldest sister is not tied up, and there is ........." Before Liu Yiyu finished speaking, he heard a slight snoring, and after seeing the seventh brother lying in his arms and falling asleep, Liu Yiyu shook his head with a smile, picked up the seventh brother, put it on the pit, covered the seventh brother with a quilt, blew out the oil lamp and left.
On the second day, Yanlin Academy.
"Madame, when I went to buy vegetables today, I saw that our family's two acres of empty land had been planted with sweet potatoes and potato seedlings?" In the backyard of Yan's house, a woman in her twenties greeted Zhang Di.
"How can this be, you go out and inquire and see whose family did this." Zhang Diren was stunned when he heard Xiao Cui's words, and then reacted.
In the past, every New Year's holiday, the students taught by Fu Jun would send Boxing gifts to their families, and when it was the season of sowing and harvesting, they would help their families sow the autumn harvest.
I have two fields that are empty, and I originally planned to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, but in the late spring of this year, many families have not yet raised sweet potato seedlings and potato seedlings, and this year many families only planted corn.
Zhang Diren originally planned to plant corn on the empty two acres of land in a day or two, but only one night later, in his own empty two acres of land, he was planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes.
