Chapter 141 Part-time work and study

The Lin family was divided into two groups, one group was in the threshing floor to remove grains, and the other group was buried in the field to cut rice.

"What do you do at my aunt's house all day? You haven't told your aunt about the academy yet, have you? ”

Listening to Lin Wenhan's sneering voice, Jiang Wen didn't raise his head, and continued to pile the rice that Lin Dong and them had cut on the ridge of the field, so that it was easy to carry.

Lin Wenhan was not annoyed, he was wearing a long shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning the wind, and said in a weird manner: "Sooner or later, my aunt will know, when the time comes, do you think you will stay in the Lin family?" Auntie's favorite thing is to read, do you think you still have a chance to go to the academy? ”

Jiang Wen froze, turned around and looked at Lin Wenhan stiffly, panic flashed in his eyes, there was no superfluous expression on his face, he just pretended to be cold and said, "The academy just said to let me take a few days off." ”

"But the academy didn't say anything for a few days." Lin Wenhan sneered, and his sarcastic tone stimulated Jiang Wen.

A few days ago, he was suddenly given a vacation by the college, the college did not give a reason, he forced to ask again and again that the most he said was that the grades fell too much, he had fallen from class A to class D, he was uncertain for a few days, he was busy thinking about making money for his aunt, and he didn't pay attention to the exam, but now he has adjusted, and he also had a hunch that he did well in the last exam, but he was still forced to take a break.

He didn't dare to tell his aunt about this, let alone his family, according to his grandmother's temperament, he was afraid that he would go to the academy to cry, and if he didn't go to the academy, he could also study at home, and when the time came, he could find someone to guarantee that he could go to the scientific examination.

"No matter what the academy says, I will not give up the imperial examination, it's a big deal, I'm studying at home."

"Heh, I can't help myself." Seeing that Jiang Wen was dressed in a short beat, his face was red, and the rough clothes on his body were also hooked a few times, some of them were tattered and shabby, at first glance, he no longer had the demeanor of a scholar, but he really looked like a farmer.

The more Lin Wenhan looked at it, the more proud he felt, shook the folding fan in his hand, and left with a weird laugh, and some villagers on the road greeted him respectfully, enthusiastic and adoring.

He knew that Jiang Wen was not a weak character, and he was very tenacious, so he had to hurry up and study, and he must be sure to show off his talents in this scientific expedition, so as soon as he got home, Lin Wenhan began to study hard again.

Jiang Wen was in a trance for a few seconds, looking at Lin Nan and Lin Dong who were cutting rice in the field with a sickle, the two of them were not much older than him, but they had worked in the field for several years, and every year they were like now, with rice in one hand and a sickle in the other, and they had to bend over, and they kept cutting rice, even if their waists were about to be tired, they couldn't stop, they were focused and serious, and they didn't even notice the conversation between him and Lin Wenhan.

After helping his little aunt's family harvest in the autumn, he will find a job in the town, studying and working at the same time, he only has this way, and only this.

"Auntie, I still want to drink water." On the threshing floor, Shangguan Zixuan, who had rested for a while, was in good spirits, but he didn't have the vitality to just enter the village, and sat on the straw pile with pride.

Jiang Yanren was almost tired and scattered, she was dizzy from the sun, and the dust and grass clippings around her made her not want to talk much, let alone take care of this precious young master.

"Little chubby, or I'll call an ox cart to send you back, you can also see it, the family is very busy, and I really don't have the energy to take care of you." Jiang Yan said.

Shangguan Zixuan looked at the busy sweaty family, and he didn't want to leave: "Auntie, I don't want to go back yet, then I'll sit here obediently and watch you work." ”

Jiang Yan: ......

Do you think you're here to oversee the work?

"You follow the little beans and they go to pick up the ears of rice." Jiang Yan asked Lin Bei to lead the two of them to the field to follow Xiaodouzi and them to pick up ears of rice, anyway, they couldn't let this precious young master be idle, otherwise they would stay longer and longer.

The sun gradually set, the sunset fell on the horizon, so that the whole Linjia Village was shrouded in a layer of faint orange, the threshing floor was more lively than during the day, and there was a family working hard to remove the threshing grains in every other section.

During the day, everyone is busy cutting rice in the fields, and at this time, they gather here to remove the grains, and the detached rice is lifted through a sieve to sift out the empty shells of the rice and the residue before it is bagged and shipped home.

Jiang Yan still took her two daughters-in-law home to cook dinner when it was getting dark, as usual.

The dinner has been very rich in the past few days, and today is no exception, Jiang Yan also made a pot of sweet soup balls, which were deliberately put in the well to cool for a while, and were not served until the whole family arrived to start the meal.

Shangguan Zixuan leaned on Wangcai for most of his body, and Wangcai's tired legs trembled, so he could only grit his teeth and hold his young master to the house.

"Hungry ......"

The little young master looked tired, disheveled, his white underwear was wrinkled, the stains were black and the east and west were in one place, the exposed skin was scratched to varying degrees, the red marks were one by one, the originally neat hair was messed up into a chicken nest, and he was bitten by mosquitoes all over the body.

"How did this happen?" Jiang Yan looked at his miserable appearance, knowing that he was going to pick up ears of rice, but not knowing that he thought he was ravaged by that bastard, looking like a ghost after the incident.

"Grandma, the fat brother fell by himself, we went to catch the little grasshopper, he ran around if he couldn't catch it, and chased my little chick, and fell in the field several times." Xiaodouzi held his own small bench, slowly sat down at the table, a serious report, and did not forget to say with contempt after speaking: "He hasn't caught a single grasshopper." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out today's harvest with two strokes, a total of twelve strings, all of which passed through the back of the grasshopper's neck with a dog's tail grass and handed it to Wang Jinhua.

"Xiaodouzi is really good, so is Erbi, let's eat first." Jiang Yan rubbed Xiaodouzi's little face, and when she saw that Shangguan Zixuan was nothing serious, she beckoned to eat.

Wangcai helped the little master, the two of them looked at a table of dishes, tired for a day, and now they are already hungry, smelling such fragrant food, saliva is about to slip out.

After the little young master sat down, he began to eat, but Wangcai stood on the side, but he couldn't look at it.

"Wangcai, aren't you eating?" Jiang Yan asked.

Wangcai was stunned, can I eat it too? He was a little panicked, but quickly adjusted his expression and said, "I'll eat when the little young master and everyone finish eating." "I hope there will be some leftover dishes from everything, and Aunt Jiang's food is delicious at first glance.

Jiang Yan frowned, she didn't feel anything in the village, but in this era, people are hierarchical, like Wangcai, who should belong to domestic slaves, and have been slaves in the deep courtyard of a high-rise mansion since he was a child, and he is used to taking care of the master's family, and it is impossible to eat at the table.

"Come and eat together, our family doesn't have so many etiquette rules, as long as you work, you can eat."

Wangcai's face was shocked, his eyes lingered on everyone, there were many Lin families, he couldn't remember who was who until now, he knew Aunt Jiang, at this moment, seeing Aunt Jiang's eyes were unprecedentedly eager, it was the first time that someone was so kind to him.

But he was just a slave of the Shangguan family, and he could only listen to the young master, he raised his eyes and saw that the little young master was softly shrunk on the chair and shouted to him: "Come and eat together, I'll wait for you." ”

Wangcai's eyes were red, and then he sat down.
