At night, in the West House, Fang's was still doing needlework under the oil lamp.

Jiang Jingxue said, "Mother, it's already so dark, don't do needlework anymore, hurt your eyes carefully, and when Dad left, he said that you should have a good rest at night." ”

Fang Shi smiled and said, "Working in the field during the day, how can you have the kung fu to touch the needlework, just a little kung fu at night, you can sleep first when you are tired, and your mother will be fine for a while." ”

Jiang Jingxue looked at her mother's hard work, where could she sleep, put on her clothes and sat in front of her, "Then I'll help my mother embroider together, and I will sleep when my mother sleeps." ”

Fang's own hard work didn't matter, where was he willing to give up his daughter's hard work, so he put down the needle and thread.

"Okay, okay, just listen to you, my mother will sleep."

The mother and daughter were lying on the bed, and Fang's sighed again, "Mother just wants to make more embroidery and exchange it for money, see if you can save more money, and say goodbye to your brother, your brother is a little stupid, our family is poor, and the girls from good families are not willing to marry, if they can earn some money, people will be willing to say that they can't do it, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that your grandmother will hit you with her idea." ”

Jiang Jingxue hurriedly said, "Didn't Dad go out to work?" This trip, how can I make some money, make up enough five taels of silver, my mother went to tell my grandmother, the little granddaughter of the Bai family in the village is good, my brother said that I like her very much, their family is the poorest in the village, I should be willing, as for my relatives, look at it slowly, isn't there still a year? Mother, don't work too hard, watch out for your body. ”

Fang nodded, the mother and daughter said something from time to time, and soon fell asleep, not knowing that the other two people in the family were plotting a big thing.

Now that it is winter, Jiang Jingxue and Fang Shi are sleeping in a quilt, the quilt is not too warm, and the two of them can still keep warm when they sleep together, and they can sleep more comfortably.

The five generations of the Jiang family have been passed down singlely, and when it came to Jiang Jingxue's grandfather Jiang Fuwang's generation, he finally got rid of this fate, Jiang Fuwang got two sons, the eldest Jiang Hai, the second Jianghe, the big house and the second room are also a son and a daughter, Jiang Fuwang has two grandchildren, not to mention how straight this waist is.

A few days ago, the work in the field was almost done, and the rest of the women in the family could also be done, so Jiang Fuwang took his two sons and the eldest grandson Jiang Chengjia to help others repair the house.

It will take a month to go, and when I come back, I will be able to get some wages, which will be used to subsidize the family next year.

Dafang's son Jiang Chengye entered the hall at the age of eight to study, and the Jiang family has been struggling to provide for them over the years, but in order to provide for a scholar, he has been gritting his teeth to provide for it.

Scholars' business, that can cost money, few families in the countryside are able to send their children to the school to study all the time, two years of studying, know a few big characters, now Xiangshui Village is only Jiang Chengye alone thinking about the road of studying and testing fame.

There are people in the village who are optimistic and some who are not optimistic, but everyone is talking about it, and the real suffering is still their own family members are eating.

Even when the men who were working outside came home, the Fang family and Jiang Jingxue slept in the same room, and Jiang He lived in the same room with Jiang Cheng's family.

The Jiang family is so poor, and there are not many houses, originally the old couple slept in one room, and they had two rooms in each of the two rooms of the big house, both of which were a son and a daughter, so the girl lived together, and the boy lived together.

After the eldest daughter Jiang Jingmin got married last year, the Li family began to behave as a demon, saying that her son studied hard, couldn't sleep in a room with Jiang Cheng's family, and had to study at night, Jiang Cheng's family snored loudly, so noisy that her son couldn't sleep, and he didn't have the energy to study in the school the next day.

In this family, Jiang Chengye's studies are the secret to success, she said so, so can you not listen to her? So Jiang Chengye owned a room by himself, and there was no other way to arrange the second room than this.

As soon as she slept in the morning, Fang's got up early to make breakfast, Jiang Jingxue also helped her, the weather was very cold in this winter month, and her bones were frozen when she touched the cold water in the morning.

Li will be lazy, you can't wake up when you shout in the morning, no matter how you call outside the house, she will lose if she makes some moves, if you don't do it, I won't do it, I don't have to eat breakfast, and Zhang's will get angry again, so many times it is Fang's who suffers.

Even if the two of them divide the work, you and I will work day by day, but the Li family is studying with his son, and he will have to take the test to gain fame in the future, many times the Zhang family is biased towards the Li family, and the number of times is too much, the Fang family will not find their own scolding, and the big deal will be a little harder.

When the mother and daughter had finished breakfast, the others got up and ate breakfast in the upper room.

No matter how poor the family is, all the eggs laid by the hen have to be kept for Jiang Chengye to eat alone, and there were no eggs on the table this morning, and Li's face immediately turned wrong.

"Brother and sister, did you forget to boil this egg again? Chengye is studying so hard, how can you make up for your body without eating better? ”

Fang Shi hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, we only have two hens laying eggs, and in winter, hens don't like to lay eggs, and sister-in-law also knows, if they don't lay for several days, won't this be broken?" ”

Of course Li Shi knew, but she didn't recognize these at this time, and said directly, "Hmph, what you said is good, you have been cooking for the past few days, how do I know if you ate it secretly?" This egg is a precious thing, so it has to be left to the person who should eat it, and your body is also made up for nothing, so it should be left to us to eat. ”

Jiang Jingxue looked at the Li family, "Auntie, what you said is not right, my mother gets up early and is greedy for darkness, tired like this, and she can't get any benefits, why do you want to count her down when you come here?" You also said that my mother has been cooking these days, hasn't grandma already set it? You do it all by yourself for a day, and my mother is doing it for several days, and I don't know it, but when I said it just now, it seems that I know it very well in my heart. ”

After finishing speaking, she looked at the Zhang family, Jiang Jingxue didn't talk much on weekdays, and only when the Fang family was wronged, she would help the anxious mother argue a few words.

Li was about to talk about her, Zhang stepped on her foot under the table, and she also remembered, she was still thinking about doing big things, and it was not appropriate to provoke their mother and daughter at this time, so she endured this breath.

"I've been feeling unwell these days, and I know I'm tired of your mother, so I'll take over the cooking work tomorrow and help her for a few days, isn't this enough?"

Zhang then said, "Okay, okay, hurry up and eat and go to work in the field, early in the morning, shouting, Chengye, there are no eggs today, you can drink more porridge, but don't be hungry." ”

Jiang Chengye didn't say a word, he only cared about eating by himself, in his opinion, this family bombed all day long, it was really insulting, and when he had a reputation, he would not return to this family.
