Of course Yuezhen was aware of the situation in her room, and she was also happy to see the changes in Liu and Li Sanzhi's moods. Although she did not hate such a quiet rural life, she did not want her brothers to live in such poverty and become adults.
I worry about not having enough money to go to school and not having enough food to eat. But in the Li family, Old Man Li appears to be fair, but in fact he spends the whole family's efforts to support his uncle and uncle in school. Maybe people of this era can understand and agree with it.
But she couldn't accept the price of starving herself. Mrs. Feng had always disliked the third bedroom, and regarded her as a servant in the family. The eldest couple were hypocritical and pretentious, while the younger Mrs. Feng, the second bedroom, was selfish and delicious, and Li Erzhi
Tasty and lazy, that is to say, the fourth house is better, but both of them are timid and cowardly people. The younger aunt was raised in a petite and willful way, and the whole family is her maidservant. The younger uncle seems to be okay for the time being, but he doesn't know him well after all.
I always feel that it’s not easy to watch. Yuezhen doesn’t want to take advantage of this group of people or be stabbed in the back after her family has finally made a fortune. It would be great if Li Sanzhi and his wife have awakened. From Yuezhen’s perspective,
She can help the Li family when appropriate, but she will not give up all her belongings.
Yuezhen's face has become round during this winter, her skin is supple and white, and she has a little apple face, which makes everyone who sees her want to pinch her. Now she can finally
She successfully embroidered the flowers until they could be seen as flowers. She enthusiastically embroidered plum blossoms on her towel and handkerchief. If Mrs. Liu hadn't stopped her, she would have prepared to embroider every piece of her clothes.
They all embroidered a plum blossom as their mark.
As soon as the weather got warm, Yue Zhen couldn't sit still. She stayed on the kang for more than three months. Even though she was known as a homebody in her previous life, she couldn't stay any longer. Some wild vegetables had already sprouted in the fields outside.
Many families who have a meal of cabbage and radishes cannot bear to go to the fields to pick up a few handfuls of wild vegetables, such as wild vegetables, and add a few drops of oil to stir-fry them for a taste.
Yuezhen often went with Li Gen's sister Taohua to pick wild vegetables and shoot pigweed in the fields. Last autumn, Yuezhen and Taohua picked wild fruits in the mountains together. The two of them got along very well, which can be regarded as
Yuezhen is the first best friend she has made in ancient times.
During these days, the family began to be busy with spring plowing and sowing. Mrs. Liu was officially out of confinement and started cooking with her sisters-in-law each day. It was her turn this day. Erlang took Yuezhen and Qilang early in the morning.
I went out to pick some more wild vegetables and came back with the intention of feeding the chickens if they were not enough to eat. During these days, Feng often scolded the chickens for not working but eating and laying eggs. Liu just pretended not to hear, Shiro, Wulang
Then I helped look after Kuro and the triplets at home.
Yuezhen and the others did not dare to go up the mountain. It was the most ferocious time when many animals had just woken up from hibernation. Many wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain had been picked by the villagers. It took a lot of effort for the three of them to get a basket.
There were no wild vegetables in Yuezhen's space, and there was no way to take them outside at this time. For this reason, Yuezhen secretly picked a few and put them into the space.
"Mom, you are in good health. It's very cold in spring and you don't need to touch the cold water. We can do the dishes and wash the dishes. If it doesn't work, just boil some hot water. The little firewood you waste will be too much for me and my brothers to pick up in the mountains.
!" As soon as Yuezhen arrived home, she saw Ms. Liu washing dishes with cold water, her hands were red from the cold. Although Ms. Liu's body had recovered after a winter of recuperation and the water from the Space Spirit Spring, she still couldn't help but think about that time.
When she first passed through, Mrs. Liu's face was filled with worry. She finally had a father and a mother who cared for her, and her brothers loved and cared for her, but she really didn't want to lose her.
"Yes, mother, just let us wash it. Didn't the doctor tell you not to touch cold water?" Erlang also followed up.
"My mother is not as delicate as you say. You haven't eaten yet. Come and wash your hands quickly and go to eat. My mother is putting the pot in the pot for you to heat up!" Mrs. Liu looked at her child with a smile and relief.
"Oh, why don't you always say that only the third younger brother and sister are the lucky ones in the family? We are not as expensive as you. We can even wash the dishes and boil hot water. Why don't we have enough firewood in winter? I am the only one who can help me.
Why don't you save money while you're there?" Little Feng had just finished her meal and had not returned to her room. She was picking her teeth and wandering around the yard. When she heard this, she started yelling loudly.
"Second sister-in-law, judging from what you said, isn't our mother the most blessed person in the family? She gave birth to five sons, and two of them were awarded the title of Scholar. In the future, one of them may be awarded the title of Scholar.
Please give our mother a royal title. By then our mother will be an old lady. I just feel sorry for these children. I said this casually. Besides, even if I really boil water and wash dishes, it doesn’t matter. In this woodshed
There is still firewood for half of the house, so my second sister-in-law will definitely be missing!" Mrs. Liu is not a clumsy person. The reason why she gave her sister-in-law the impression that she was easy to bully in the past was because she always thought about the family and everything going well.
, I always remember that my husband-in-law is a person who values family affection, and I hope that taking a step back can bring harmony to the family and improve the relationship between my husband-in-law and his family members. Since it doesn't work, there is no need to endure it.
Little Feng was speechless and thought to herself: How come after such a winter, Mrs. Liu not only looks better, but can even speak!
"What are you shouting about? There are too few things this morning, right? For the third child's family, please feed the chickens quickly. For the second child's family, don't you need to hand over the embroidery work to the middle school?"
Come on, hurry up and go back to the house to make a few more pairs of shoes. The two of you have been busy with me so early in the morning,,,,,," Ms. Feng came out of the main room and cursed. She said today
He was thinking about his son and grandson's schooling in the room. Although his old son didn't have to pay for school when he went to the county school, he had to bring some New Year's gifts this time, including food expenses, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and occasionally
For some entertainment and other things, you need to bring at least ten taels of silver in the first month of the new year. Although the boss will not go to school, he still needs at least one tael of silver every month to buy some books, pens and ink.
There are two sons in the family who want to go to school, and each half-year salary is one tael of silver. The second son's son, Youfu, will also go to school this year, and the three sons of the third son's family will also go to school.
The expenses for pens, ink, paper, inkstones and gifts for the wife were also quite large. Calculated in this way, the family would have to take out twenty taels of silver in the first month. Mrs. Feng sighed secretly.
The income is less than a hundred taels of silver. Although it is very good in a farm family, it is only enough for a scholar like Lao Wu. The eldest brother went to Nan'an Prefecture three times to take the exam and spent a lot of money. The money saved by the family over the years is not enough.
There are many, and I have to prepare for the two of them to take the exam next year. Now that my youngest daughter is seventeen, although I have always wanted to wait for the eldest or the fifth to pass the exam and then say that I am a good family, but what if I fail?
My daughter, the older she gets, the harder it is to tell others.
Not to mention that the more Feng thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, thinking about where to get some money to use. With a family of three bedrooms, the Yue Zhen brothers and sisters finished the food that Liu specially heated in the pot, and then
After a lot of work, I went back to my room. The women in the family couldn't help much with the spring plowing, so I was very free for the time being.
"Second brother, when will your school start?" Yue Zhen was curious. It has been spring for several days, but there has been no movement. She was still thinking about when she would follow her brothers to the school and take a look.
Can you borrow two books from Master Xuetang to read? Although her brother-in-law has bookshelves full of books, Feng only lets his eldest son read them on weekdays. Even his grandchildren have to wait until his uncle comes back to read them.
I can only borrow it, and the books my uncle gave me were enlightenment books and the Four Books and Five Classics. What Yuezhen wanted to read were landscape travel notes or books about national conditions and laws.
"We still have to wait a few days, at least after February. Don't look at it. It's getting warmer now. There's no telling when heavy snow will fall again!"
"Oh, that's it. Don't let it snow again. I can't bear it anymore. The triplets haven't even left the house a few times yet!" Yue Zhen pouted and said, it's really hard to live without being able to go out!
"Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you can't stay on your own. You still have to run outside in this cold weather!" Shiro teased her by touching Yuezhen's forehead affectionately.
"No way, I just want to breathe in the fresh air outside, the room is so stuffy!"
"What does fresh air mean?" Qilang asked dumbfoundedly, touching his head. Why can't people understand his sister's words?
"Yes, where did you learn this strange saying?" asked Liu. After all, Yuezhen came from modern times. Although she had paid great attention to it, she still occasionally said "surreal" inadvertently.
Come on.
"Oh, don't you think it's so smooth to breathe outside? It's just fresher than at home." Yuezhen explained quickly and casually.
"Well, it's okay to think about it this way!" Wulang, who had been silent all the time, said this after thinking for a while.
"Oh mother, look at the triplets. Isn't the total rice not enough? You see, babies need milk to grow strong. I was thinking about getting some milk from Uncle Li Gen's house for the three little ones.
Drink it!" Yuezhen quickly changed the subject. She had long wanted to get some goat milk in the space for the triplets to drink, but she couldn't find the opportunity. Now she heard that the Taohua family's cow had just given birth.
The thought of getting rid of the calf came up again.
"The taste is not very good. Besides, can the cow be milked by you?" Liu said hesitantly. There is not much polished rice at home recently. Even if Yuezhen occasionally replenishes it, Jiulang and Sanbao can't.
The fetuses have been drinking rice porridge, and only a dozen kilograms of polished rice are left. The triplets are less than six months old, and they are less than one month old. At least they have to be carefully raised until they are two years old, even though they have some money.
, but it’s hard to take it out openly. Qilang and Yuezhen didn’t have enough to eat because they were twins. At that time, the financial situation of Liu’s family was not very good, and the shop in her sister’s family was not as good as it is now. In addition, Liu’s family was not as good as it is now.
So strong, the two children have been hungry and full since they were eight months old. They have been drinking brown rice porridge with the adults since they did not have enough milk. They were raised thin and small. Mrs. Liu felt heartbroken when she saw it.
Grow some meat.
"Well, Mom can discuss with my aunt. It should be okay if I go to the master's house to squeeze in! No matter what, I have to give it a try. The three brothers look very thin!"
"Then, I'll go and ask in the afternoon!"
