The parents are doing their own things, so the task of cooking at home falls on the Xu Yue brothers and sisters.
When the three siblings were cooking, Wang Youliang was there to help pass out some dishes and other dishes, trying to blend in.
Xu Yue hasn't figured out what to do with him yet, so she can only let him go.
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed, and the new home has been decorated in style.
Wang Dayou bought a duck and brought a pair of children to Xu Yue's house. The two families had a comfortable meal together to celebrate the completion of their new home.
After the meal, the two families sat on the long log cut down by Wang, looking at the twinkling starry sky above their heads, thinking that they were finally stable, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow I will go to the second room to report. Brother Dayou, what are you going to do next? Are you going to continue to sit on the bed or do something else?" Xu Da asked tentatively.
Wang Dayou thought for a while and said with a smile: "I still have some money left in my hand. I'm going to build a stove and go back to my old job."
Wang Dayou made this decision after careful consideration. There is an iron mine near Yuyang County, and iron is sold cheaply here.
Besides, there is a large population here, so the farm tools he makes should be easy to sell.
Next, there are so many tenant farmers in Wubao. If their farm tools break, they must be repaired. With this potential market, supporting their families will not be a problem.
"Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, it's hard to go out and make kangs. When the weather gets cold at the end of the year, and everyone has saved some savings, we can make a lot of money by going out to make kangs for people."
With blacksmithing as his main job and kang making as a side job, Wang Dayou felt at ease.
Xu Da nodded, Wang Dayou had a good idea.
After hearing Wang Dayou's words, Mr. Wang, who was sitting in the yard whittling wood, also raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.
She was short of various spare parts, and Wang Dayou's blacksmith shop made it easier for her.
The adults were chatting about their upcoming lives, but the children were not idle either.
Xu Yue said to Xiao Junmei, her brother and sister, and Wang Youliang: "Starting from tomorrow, remember to come over after breakfast, and we will continue to study."
The homework has been behind for a long time. Xu Yue is afraid that they will forget it and must consolidate it.
Junmei obeyed Xu Yue's orders, nodded hurriedly, and even memorized the multiplication tables with her on the spot, actually memorizing them all.
Wang Youliang was miserable. He learned later than Junmei, and his memory was not as good as hers. He couldn't recite even two sentences of the Three Character Classic he just learned. Xu Yue sighed inwardly.
Xu Erniang looked at her sister's headache and smiled unkindly.
I really don’t understand your young lady’s persistence. Wouldn’t it be nice to study magic with her?
Xu Yue thought to herself that just one person cannot accomplish great things. Talents must be cultivated by themselves so that they can be used smoothly.
Seeing that Wang Youliang was carrying too much weight, Xu Yue waved her hand and told him to stop.
Wang Youliang was relieved and hurriedly hid in his small room, fearing that Xu Yue would call him.
Seeing this, little Ajian, who was already able to speak, pointed at the door of the room and kept saying: "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
When the adults heard this, they burst into laughter.
Wang Youliang, who was lying on the kang in the house, got directly into bed and covered his head, as if he couldn't hear the laughter outside.
People went to bed early at this time. Seeing that the surrounding villagers were quiet, Wang Dayou greeted Shang Junmei and his sister to go home.
After seeing off Wang Dayou's family, Xu Yue's family also went to sleep.
The next day, Xu Da got up early, heated up the pots and stoves in the kitchen, and cooked breakfast for Wang's wife, Xu Yue. Then, with a bit of excitement, he went to Gongsun Yan's house to report.
The ladies sleeping in the house did not get up lazily until they smelled the aroma of millet porridge.
However, as soon as I got up, I was called to the courtyard by Mrs. Wang to practice basic physical exercises. After I finished practicing, I was allowed to have breakfast.
Wang Youliang was watching from the sidelines, but Mr. Wang caught him and asked him to come over and practice together.
Wang Youliang, who had just gotten rid of the shadow of last night's endorsement, almost burst into tears, but with Wang's indifference, he did not dare to resist and could only join the morning training team.
Xu Erniang was happy now. With Wang Youliang, she was no longer the last one, and she no longer had to wash dishes every day.
The family had just arrived, and there were only two jars of pickles provided by my aunt's family. After practicing morning exercises, the five people at home finished their breakfast with millet porridge and pickles.
After finishing the work, Wang Youliang ran to wash the dishes. The water that had just been drawn from the river was very frozen. Mrs. Wang kindly told her: "The water is cold, so heat it up before washing."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, she heard a "clang" sound. Wang Youliang was so frightened that he dropped the papaya scoop on the ground.
"Oh, oh!" Wang Youliang picked up the ladle tremblingly and stuttered while going to light the fire.
With a dark look on her face, Mrs. Wang turned to look at the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters, and asked in confusion: "Am I so scary?"
Xu Yue replied honestly: "It's quite scary when you don't smile."
Wang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "So should I smile more?"
She asked seriously, but her strong aura looked more like a warning or a threat.
Xu Yue, brother and sister, all shook their heads and said goodbye, it was even scarier.
"Okay~" Mrs. Wang shrugged, indicating to the three siblings to go ahead and do whatever they wanted, then turned around and entered her tool room, immersed herself in continuing to fight with the wood.
The arrival of the Junmei siblings broke the awkward atmosphere in the yard. Xu Yue moved out the prepared small wooden boards and began her daily teaching tasks.
Now that you have learned the multiplication tables, you need to learn more advanced arithmetic.
Wang Youliang was not interested in learning the essay, but he was very interested in arithmetic. He sat on the wooden pier and studied with Xu Yue honestly, which was considered serious.
After watching it for a while, Xu Erniang felt bored and went back to her room to continue her experiments.
Xu Dalang is a follower of his younger sister. If Xu Yue doesn't leave, he will stay in the yard, taking out the big knife he confiscated from the robbers and wielding his inexhaustible strength wantonly.
Wang occasionally raised his head from the pile of wood and gave him some pointers.
In the spacious courtyard, the years are quiet and peaceful.
No one is thinking about the family's imminent financial problems!
After finishing the morning's teaching, Xu Yue asked her three students to review by themselves, and then walked out the door with a heaviness that a child should not have.
Xu Dalang immediately put away his knife and followed closely.
After leaving the courtyard, there is a spacious river on the right and a wide loess road on the left.
It was close to 12 noon, but the tenants in the fields were still busy.
Spring planting has begun, and everyone is preparing for the next spring plowing.
The land that has been drying for several months needs to be plowed again to loosen the soil before sowing.
Farmers pushed iron plows in twos and threes, their dark and thin backs exposed, sweating in the fields.
It was much better for those with oxen to pull the plow, but life was difficult. There was not much sadness on everyone's faces, but they were full of expectations for the new year.
The children of the farmer's family were not idle either. The older ones helped their parents pick up grass roots and rocks in the back.
The smaller ones are still unable to walk, so they are placed on the straw mat and allowed to play by themselves.
The spring breeze blows slowly, the grass is green and the sky is blue. Looking from a distance, it looks peaceful and peaceful.
