The dark night shrouded the entire Linjia Village, the quiet window was not swept by the cool breeze, the thatch at the eaves was blown and rattled, and only a few houses were still lit with lights.

Jiang Yan got up from the bed in a daze, she drank a lot of goat's milk and bone broth at dinner today, so that she woke up with a bubble of urine, she shhh

The toilet of the Lin family is on the side of the house, and you have to go through the hall to go to the toilet, once Jiang Yan got up at night to urinate, because she couldn't see clearly in the dark, she almost planted her head on the farm tool at the door, and from where in the future, the hall house will leave an oil lamp, and the last person to go to bed will blow the lamp.

She slowed her steps and looked at Jiang Wen in the hall, the dim light was flickering, the young man under the lamp was wearing a plain and simple long shirt, crawling on the simple low table, sleeping very unsteadily, there were a few books on the table that had turned the pages, the white and slender fingers were still holding a book, and the deformed shadow that was pulled was pouring out the young man's hard work.

After autumn, the night is cooler, looking at Jiang Wen, who was a little shrunken, Jiang Yan's heart softened, and she stepped forward and patted it gently: "It's cold in the hall, don't read too long at night, go back and rest early." ”

Jiang Wen slowly opened his eyes, his blank eyes suddenly sobered up after seeing the little aunt, looked at the almost burning oil lamp, and said with some shame: "Little aunt, hug... Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep and wasted this oil lamp. ”

He was the last one to go to bed every day, the purpose was to think about the last time to take advantage of the oil lamp to warm up the book, but he didn't expect to fall asleep today, and most of the oil lamps were now bottomed out.

"An oil lamp, don't worry, it's just that reading at night is not good for your eyes, you pay attention to it in the future, and also, when the weather is cold, go back early to rest, don't catch a cold then."

Jiang Yan helped him sort out his books, in the farmer's house, lighting an oil lamp is still more luxurious, even if the family has a little money now, the Lin family brothers are still reluctant to order it for too long, they go to bed as soon as it gets dark, and those farming and reading children are even more reluctant, they all take advantage of the daylight to read more, and go to bed at night when it is dark.

"Thank you, little aunt."

"Don't talk about this, you've worked hard these days."

Jiang Wen nodded, his eyes were warm, he learned a lot from his little aunt, and he also got a lot of warmth, he hadn't been to the academy for many days, he had been taking it with him in Linjia Village, and the people in the village would ask him why he hadn't gone to the academy yet, but the little aunt had never asked, nor had she driven him away, and even respected his choice, it seemed that ...... I also believe that he will definitely pass the exam on his own.

Thinking of this, his heart warmed.

"By the way, little aunt, I found that Xiao Wu's arithmetic ability is very strong, and I plan to make him an abacus abacus." He has an abacus himself, but he is still in Jiangjiazhai, otherwise he can give it to Lin Feng.

Jiang Yan nodded: "I am very happy that you are willing to spend time cultivating Xiao Wu's ability to calculate, the abacus should not be difficult to do, if you can draw drawings, you can draw them well and go to the village to find Uncle Cripple to do it." ”

"I'll do it! I'll make it for Xiaowu tomorrow, and Xiaobei and they want it too, one for each person, and I'll give it to them when I'm ready. Jiang Wen said excitedly, there is not much he can do for the Lin family, and he finally met someone who he can, and he will let others do it for him.

Jiang Yan looked at the young and immature face under the lamplight, and said with a smile: "It's good if you let Uncle Cripple do it, there are other things to keep you busy these days." ”

The abacus abacus is not difficult to make, but it still takes time and energy to polish one by one, Jiang Wen has the heart to make gifts for a few children, but she does it herself, and it has to be done in the Year of the Monkey.

Jiang Wen smiled and nodded, the two chatted a few more words before resting, and when she lay down on the bed, Jiang Yan remembered that she was going to the toilet, but this would make her urge to pee away, she twisted a few times on the bed uncomfortably, endured it, and planned to go again at dawn.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Yan had just finished breakfast, Lin Nan took his two daughters-in-law to the town to see the shop, Lin Dong was going to try farm tools today, so he exchanged them with Lin Nan.

"Grandma, the duckling duck has grown hair." Xiaodouzi pulled Jiang Yan and walked on his short legs to see the ducks in the chicken coop, after this period of raising, the chickens and ducks have grown a small circle, and the fluff on their bodies slowly faded and began to grow some dark feathers.

"Goo-goo-goo......"

"Quack Quack ......"

Because they are all locked up in one place, as soon as people get close, the chickens and ducks will not listen to the screams, and they will avoid people and burrow into the grass.

"It won't be long before we can eat it, and the smallest chicken I've ever eaten is about that big, so we can pluck it and roast it on the fire rack." Shangguan Zixuan walked over with a smile and chased a chick with half of the yellow hair in the chicken coop.

Looking at his rude appearance, Xiaodouzi shouted in his heart, and the shaking two white and tender lotus hands shouted: "Fat pot pot, don't be so hard!" They're too small to eat......"

Jiang Yan looked at their playful appearance and said with a smile: "The one you eat is not a chicken, it should be a bird or a pigeon, and someone will eat such a small chicken." ”

Shangguan Zixuan is about the same age as Lin Bei, but he is simple-hearted, and he can't talk to Lin Bei, Lin Feng is not talking, but the three-year-old Xiaodouzi has become his confidant, and the two of them revolve around this chicken and duck all day long.

During the day, the two drove a group of chickens and ducks to the fields to wander around, and the paddy fields that had just finished cutting the rice were full of scattered grains, and the villagers could not pick them up, so the children would drive their chickens and ducks to the fields to eat ready-made.

"Mother, let's go to Uncle Cripple's house to see the farm tools, we almost did it last night, let's move to the field and try it." Lin Dong came over with a hoe.

Jiang Yan nodded, and said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, you take the little fat brother and them to play in the field, and go home to eat at noon, the sun is shining, and if it is hot, go home to rest." ”

Xiaodouzi patted his little chest, opened his big bright eyes, and nodded solemnly: "I know grandma, Fat Pot is a guest of our family, and I will take good care of them." ”

Jiang Yan was laughed at by his cute aunt, rubbed his little face, prepared some water for a few people, and then left with Lin Dong and Jiang Wen.

Uncle Cripple's house is in the middle of the village, when the three of them arrived, their family was waiting in the house, the new plow made yesterday was placed in the yard, and there were some loose planks next to it, the shape of the plow can be vaguely seen, but the broken bevel is very strange, and at a glance you know that it is invalid.

It is not difficult to make a plow, but the tools at Uncle Cripple's house are not complete, and many places that need to be polished require a lot of labor, and it is still more time-consuming and labor-intensive to do.
