An Zichen almost didn't need to guess, he knew what his father would choose, so he nodded without hesitation, turned around and left.
The door was knocked open by three people outside, and the three people rushed in in a panic.
"Dad, you can't leave our whole family and just follow the fourth child. You still have us, and your eldest grandson. What will we do if you leave, dad?"
An Zicheng was so scared that he almost cried. He knelt down and hugged one of Lao An's legs, holding on tightly.
An Zikang held his other leg, but An Zihang stood in front of him, and his three sons surrounded the old leader An.
"Dad, can't you let the fourth child give you all the alimony at once, and then stay to help us and let your grandchildren study? You have four grandchildren, why don't you look at them?
Are you going to leave with the fourth child? Dad, Mom is still lying on the kang, you can't just leave like this without being so irresponsible!"
An Zihang also looked at Mr. An and said angrily, "Dad, think about your whole life, you have done so much to your mother. She is the wife you are marrying, and the fourth child is actually just a concubine."
…”
"Shut up!" Upon hearing this, Chief Lao An, who had been listening to the silent man, scolded fiercely, "The fourth and fifth sons are all the same as you, they are all my sons, there is no legitimate concubine!"
An Zichen burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" An Zicheng asked through gritted teeth.
"I'm laughing, what's the difference between legitimate concubine and concubine in a farming family? Is it possible that dad still has the throne for you to inherit? Don't you just want to ask for the alimony I gave dad?" After finishing the sarcasm, he looked at
He turned to Chief Lao An and said, "Dad, I'll give you three days to think about it. It doesn't matter what you choose. Five taels of silver a year, one hundred and fifty taels in thirty years. I've finished my words and let's go!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves to avoid taking away the bad mood.
When she got home, Xia Qiyue was already busy. She waited for An Zichen to go out and drove to Jiuli Town, taking the opportunity to take out all the watermelon seedlings from space.
The clan leader has already memorized everyone's situation and agreed to let the villagers come and collect the seedlings according to the quantity reported by their families. She also distributed the seedlings while teaching those who couldn't plant them how to plant them.
An Zichen was heartbroken when she came back and saw that she quickly took over her assistant. However, although she took over the assistant who was showing signs of growth, he didn't know how to teach him. He still had to teach everyone in Xia Qiyue.
After everyone received the seedlings, they quickly went to plant them in the fields. Suddenly, many households in Baijia Village came and started to get busy.
Those who did not choose to plant fruit seedlings were also ready to do so.
In one day, everyone's seedlings had grown. The next day, Xia Qiyue appeared in front of everyone dressed lightly and holding farm tools in hand.
An Zichen lived in the front yard, so he didn't know until Xia Qiyue appeared in front of him early in the morning that he would follow him to the ground today.
"Are you ready? Our family still has three acres of land. It has been cleared and we are just waiting to plant fruit seedlings. It is going to rain soon. Plant them quickly. If it rains, the fruit seedlings will grow wildly.
We have to hurry up."
An Zichen sat at the dining table and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I've been doing farm work since I was a child, and my wife doesn't need to do this much work! Just leave it all to me!"
Xia Qiyue narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Eat more, you will be tired later!"
Xia Xinghe was also eager to give it a try, "Sister, I'll help too!"
Xia Qiyue said with a finger: "Your mission is to study hard. You started later than others. If you delay any longer, will you still be admitted to the Tongsheng School in two years? Will you be able to become a scholar in five years? Before you start a family at the age of twenty.
Can you become a master of Juren?"
Xia Xinghe was stunned for a moment. He didn't know. He didn't want to take the examination for a boy student, or a scholar, let alone being a scholar at the age of twenty. This was not in his plan.
"What are you so confused about? Have you never thought about this? Then from now on, you should remember that in two years, you will take the boy student exam at the age of thirteen. This is your current goal. At the age of eighteen, you will take the scholar exam! At the age of twenty
Take the Juren Examination! Remember? This is your task. Forget about other farm work, chopping firewood, etc. If you pass the Juren Examination, you will be repaying the kindness of my eldest sister for her training!"
Having said this, Xia Xinghe suddenly became enlightened and nodded fiercely, "I remember
eldest sister!"
"Be good! Eat quickly. Remember to drink a glass of milk every morning, eat an egg, and eat some fish every day..." Xia Qiyue said and turned to look at Mei Niang who had just cut off a plate of egg pancakes and brought it up.
Mom, remember that there must be a fish on the table every day from now on! Whether it is fried or stewed, the children must eat fish!"
Fish replenishes the brain, her expectations are very high, and the children must be replenished.
"I know, madam, don't worry, I will buy the ingredients in person every day and I will never forget it!" Mei Niang responded with a smile.
"Okay, stop working and go eat!" Xia Qiyue asked the servants to go down to eat.
Although she was used to having servants do this for her family, she still wasn't willing to let them stand around and wait for her to eat.
"Don't worry, you can eat whatever you want. I'll send the money back later!" After Mei Niang left, An Zichen said firmly.
Now that he has a wife and children, the burden on his shoulders has become heavier, but he also has more fighting spirit. He finally understands why Changji loves money so much. Now he has become the second Changji. He will go back and finish planting the fruit seedlings.
When he returns to Beijing, he will have to ask for a few more missions.
Xia Qiyue felt warm after hearing this. Although she was not short of money now, it felt great to have a man to support her and have someone to rely on.
Nodding, "Okay, then the children and I will be raised by you. Our requirements for food, clothing and clothing are very high. You have to work harder!"
"No problem, it's my responsibility to raise you. Don't worry, I won't make you any worse than others!" An Zichen assured, patting his chest.
The two little guys lowered their heads and were whispering. From time to time they looked up at their parents, then quickly lowered their heads and muttered, not knowing what they were discussing.
"You two, hurry up and eat! I'm telling you, Xuan'er is also going to take the Tongsheng test. I will limit you to three years. If you fail to pass the Tongsheng test at the age of seven, there will be a penalty!" Xia Qiyue naturally knew the two little guys.
What they are whispering is nothing more than making fun of her and An Zichen's coquettishness! These two guys have complained about her once or twice.
Since they want to laugh at themselves, then I can't make it easy for them.
"Brother, come on!" Ke'er stuck out her tongue and said something unkind, then she obediently picked up the hard-boiled egg that Xia Jiuyue had just peeled for her and ate it.
"Don't be too proud!" Xuan'er gritted his teeth hard and angrily yelled at his sister, then looked at his mother, "Mom, don't worry, Xuan'er is going to take the boy student exam with his uncle!"
"You are ambitious! I will reward you with a tael of silver first!" Xia Qiyue was satisfied and quickly threw a tael of silver to his son.
