Old man Zhu didn't understand at first, why he couldn't make money by working in a short union, after all, the money from the master's family must be more than what they earned by farming and selling grain.

But when he actually went, he realized that everything was taken for granted.

First of all, the owner has the final say on how much money the host will give.

Secondly, short-term work is not happening every time, it depends on luck.

Again, not all owners will eat and stay, and if you encounter the kind that doesn't eat and stay, you have to spend your own money to find a place to live and get food.

There are only two or three months of short-term work a year, and there are not many choices for those like them who don't know how to do handiwork, either to work hard as "hard labor", to carry things, or to help the master do the work in the field in spring and autumn.

"Didn't I just say that letting Dabao and Erbao read and write, and letting them go to the town as apprentices is also a way out. Ye Yuran said.

Old man Zhu shook his head: "I'm afraid not, the apprentice is not as easy as you think, one is the master's master, and it is not our responsibility to live or die if he is sent in; Our family has no relatives in the town, and this road does not work. Those masters who have handicrafts have their eyes on the top of their heads, and if they want to pass it on, they will only pass it on to their sons or nephews, and it is not the turn of outsiders. ”

"I haven't done it, how do you know if it's okay?" Ye Yuran asked, "Let me ask you, the hotel recruits a hall, a literate person and an illiterate person, which one will the shopkeeper recruit?"

"Literate. ”

"Isn't that okay?" Ye Yuran made a gritted teeth, "I don't believe it, I taught all my grandchildren, and none of them will have a chance." Anyway, they are young now, and they don't have anything else to do, so it's good to give them something to do. When they are older, they will seize the opportunity if they can seize it, but it is really not good, and it is not too late to come back and farm with you. ”

Hearing her say this, Old Man Zhu seemed to be able to accept it: "You didn't make it clear earlier, it scared me to death, I thought you were really going to send them to school." How much does it cost to go to the school, and you can buy a few acres of land for a year's repair......"

Ye Yuran's mouth twitched, and he didn't listen to him.

Anyway, listening to what he meant, that is, the money from a few years of study can save more than a dozen acres for the family, so that several sons have land to plant.

But did he ever think that if one of his grandsons was admitted to Xiucai and did something, the family would not only be exempted from forced labor, but if he went further, he would be a jinshi and would be able to become an official.

In addition to these, it is also a name to go out to do things after having fame, and people outside do not dare to bully him and his brothers casually, it can be said that "one person gains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven".

Although Ye Yuran is not very clear about the process of this era, the history is generally similar, as long as there is a imperial examination, then the routines in it are the same.

She took so many history classes in her last life, which dynasty and which generation were not emperors and officials?

For small people like them, they don't need to be too big officials, just a show of talent and a move is enough. In the countryside, it is always different which family has a meritorious study.

Of course, Ye Yuran didn't plan to talk to Old Man Zhu too thoroughly, and she could see that this was a "feudal patriarch" with a tendon in his head.

He is responsible for the stuffy work, and she has the final say in this family.

When Li Shi heard this, she felt a little lost, and she couldn't tell why.

- It turns out that my mother-in-law didn't plan to send a few grandchildren to school!

- Think about it, the family is so poor, and there is no money to send.

- But if you can read and write, can you go to the restaurant in the town and work as a runner?

Li couldn't help but look forward to it.

She couldn't see farther, but she knew it was an opportunity to change her fate.

She touched her belly and silently looked forward to it in her heart: Child, you wait, even if my mother is desperate, she will give me this opportunity.

Thinking of the other concubines, only she and her sister-in-law had children, and the Li family was even more confident.

Not to mention anything else, now as long as her child defeats Dabao and Erbao, he will have a chance.

She even decided in her heart that she must ask her mother to turn on the small stove for her, so that she could teach the child as soon as she was born.

Her son has been learning since he was born, how can he not compare to the big treasure and the second treasure that he started learning when he is so old?

"Hehehe......" She thought a little distractedly, and laughed happily.

"What are you doing here?" Although the voice was a little small, I was sorry, Ye Yuran's conversation with Old Man Zhu had ended, and no matter how low Li's voice was, she could hear it.

"Mother?" Li was startled, and hurriedly wanted to explain to Ye Yuran that she was here to grab the bag.

It's a pity that she searched around and didn't find Lin's figure.

Lin didn't get distracted like her, so as soon as she saw that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had finished talking, she hurriedly sneaked away in advance.

When she saw the Li family not far away, her heart jumped, but the Li family didn't know what she was thinking at the time, she looked so beautiful that she didn't have time to think about it, and when she heard the footsteps of her father-in-law leaving, she hurriedly left.

Ye Yuran: "Say, what are you doing here?"

"Mother, if I tell you that I am actually here to catch the eavesdropper, do you believe it?" said Li dryly.

"Then you say, who are you going to arrest?"

"Lin. In order to prove his innocence, Li pointed to a place and said, "She was standing there just now, really, mother, she was standing there just now, and I followed her." ”

"Uh-huh, what about her now?"

"I don't know, I saw her standing there just now, I wanted to remind my mother, but as soon as she left, he disappeared. ”

"What are you doing to get distracted? What did you hear that made you so beautiful, and you were still distracted at such a critical moment?"

"No, no, I didn't hear anything. Li naturally didn't dare to admit it, she could see her mother's expression, but she didn't dare to completely deny it, and quickly explained a few words, "It's not anymore, I just heard it...... The mother said that she wanted to enlighten the children in the family. When I think of the child in my womb, my mother will help enlighten me in the future, so I am happy. ”

Speaking of the back, I didn't forget to praise Ye Yuran, saying that if it weren't for my mother's good, and my mother would help enlighten them, they wouldn't be able to take advantage of this kind of coincidence.

Being able to marry her mother as a daughter-in-law is simply that she burned high incense in her last life, and if someone wants to recognize a word or something, she has to go to the school to pay money, and only their mother is good, and she can read and write.

No wonder her mother was so happy when she heard that she was going to marry into the Zhu family......

Ye Yuran felt amused by Li's nonsense. In the memory of the original owner, when the Li family was about to marry, the Li family and her mother thought that Zhu Si had played tricks and took advantage of her daughter, so that the Li family would marry in alive and die, and she wanted to settle accounts with Zhu Si.

The original owner was not a good "bully", so he went out directly with the guy and had a fight with Li's mother.

But even so, the mother couldn't survive her daughter, so she still let the Li family successfully marry in.
