Xiao Jiu's original surname was Yuan. When the elders of Yuan's family saw that it was a boy, they encouraged Yuan's mother to choose a random name. When they were discussing this matter, the family was eating around the table. There were nine bowls for each family, so they Let’s call him Yuan Jiu.

Does it matter what you name your son? A daughter is the family's expectation. Anyway, they already have a sister Yuan Yao. Yuan Jiu's birth was originally an accident. It's okay if it's possible, but it's okay if it's not. Now that she has an extra mouth to eat, it's really a waste of food.

Yuan's father was born with a beautiful appearance. He was a refugee from another village. Fortunately, Yuan's mother was kind-hearted and had food and support. He had no family to support him. He was cautious and soft-tempered. He knew that he owed Yuan Jiu a lot. .

Mother Yuan's nature is good, but she is influenced by her family's education and always has a bit of feminism. Although she says she does not value daughters over sons, she is indeed biased in her heart. But more often than not, no matter how she speaks to her children, she is You're welcome.

What Yuan's mother loves most is her beautiful husband. After the separation, she asked Yuan's father to do what he likes. For example, Yuan's father liked flowers, so she would help her after finishing the farm work. Before the separation, she was used to being reticent. The husband arranged the flowers at the foot of the courtyard wall.

Originally, the relationship between Yuan's mother and Yuan Jiu was not cordial, but one day, after Li Yushu privately took Yuan's mother and Yuan's father to the Taotie Tower to see their son working in a low voice to serve guests, some prejudices and old thoughts in her heart collapsed.

On the way back after refusing to take the carriage, Yuan Mu kept muttering to her husband who was holding her arm.

"I thought working for a big hotel was an easy job, but I didn't expect it would be harder than a peasant woman like me. Jiu'er likes reading very much and is smarter and more responsible than his sister... If men can also be officials , I would have smashed the pot and sold iron to provide for him, but the world did not allow it."

Father Yuan wiped his tears secretly. He was really sorry for Jiu'er. Before the family was separated, Jiu'er could not speak and was forced to do so much work. After the family was separated, the family became even poorer and could no longer support the second person to go to school. Now, It is really a dereliction of duty for us as mothers and fathers to rely on him alone to make money to support the family.

Before the family was separated, Yuan Yao, as Xiao Jiu's sister, really had everything she needed. The elders in the family pampered her so much that she ate the best food first, while Xiao Jiu did the most but ate the least.

Yuan Yao eats meat and Xiao Jiu eats vegetables.

Yuan Yao ate the sweetest and glutinous corn cobs, while Xiao Jiu ate the sparse corn strips.

Yuan Yao can study, but Xiao Jiu can only sneak into the village private school and eavesdrop on the wall when he goes out to collect firewood.

Life was sad, but when Xiaojiu heard the master's instructions to the girls who were studying, his face always showed yearning and a smile. The content in the book sounded reasonable, but he was not qualified to sit on it. Listen to the class inside.

At that time, Yuan's mother couldn't say anything because she picked up a husband without a dowry. The humble father Yuan also understood that he would save money to replenish Xiaojiu's health. Xiaojiu knew that it was not easy for his mother and father to understand, and he would not Making a fuss.

The family's life was difficult. A few years ago, the few acres of land where Yuan's mother worked could not harvest much food due to natural disasters. Yuan Yao needed money to study again, so the sensible Xiaojiu mustered up the courage to look for work outside the village. Later, he Even the house Yuanyao rented in the city was subsidized by Xiaojiu.

After being able to make money, Xiao Jiu's status in the family gradually rose, and Yuan Yao was also restricted by him.

Mother Yuan and father Yuan turned a blind eye. Their daughter was really shameless sometimes. She was always slacking off in her studies. It would be good to have someone to take care of her.

Yuan Yao went from being favored by her grandmother and grandfather to no longer enjoying special treatment. Naturally, she couldn't bear the gap in the early stage, but after being forced to observe her brother's hard daily life by Li Yushu, she didn't say anything more.

Yuan Yao knew that she was not good at studying. What she liked was carpentry, and the house was full of objects she had learned to make.

She was embarrassed to say it out loud. The depression in her heart made her uncomfortable, and she didn't want to let down her brother's provision. In the dilemma, she chose to "bully" people who were more powerful and weaker than her.

Mo Chenyi, who was somewhat aloof and did not make friends easily, caught her eye. She liked to tease her. Who told her that she always "lived in isolation" and looked at herself with indifferent eyes? What's more, she found that her younger brother actually fell in love with this person from childhood. People who come out of the valleys in the mountains.

The strange feeling of being robbed drove Yuan Yao to hate bullying Mo Cenyi who had never taken the initiative to offend her.

Yuan Yao, who had nowhere to vent his strong energy, couldn't stand the pretentious Mo Cenyi even more, and the relationship was antagonistic until she asked Mo Cenyi to go to the dense forest behind the academy to pick Xiaojiu's favorite peach after her vacation at the academy.

Yuan Yao originally just wanted Mo Cenyi to climb a tall tree as a hard worker to pick peaches from a century-old tree and then borrow flowers to offer to his younger brother, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such cruel, disgusting and terrible things.

Because of Mo Chenyi's calmness and covering his mouth, the last exclamation he almost wanted to say was silenced. Otherwise, if he alerted the group of bad guys who were burying the corpse, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Yuan Yao hurried back to her home in the countryside that night. She retched all the way. Her mind was filled with Mo Chenyi's instructions to her. She couldn't bear to think of the mouth-watering peaches on the tree that were as red as clouds. Live retching.

The peach was not picked, but a lingering shadow fell on it.

Yuan Yao, who never came back to the city during holidays in the past, stayed asleep after returning home. Her heart was pounding all night long.

Yuan's mother and Yuan's father didn't say much. It just so happened that Jiu'er was going home with his friends. It was a good time for the family to reunite.

Tan Yu and his party entered the Yuan family's house chatting and laughing, while Fufu was allowed to step through the door after cleaning up.

Qingyu, the grievance, was cursing while rubbing Fufu who was covered in mud. Li Yushu couldn't see her being too harsh, so he simply put down the fresh corn he was peeling and went outside to help.

Fufu, who was originally scolded as a coward, saw Li Yushu coming to stop his master from continuing to teach him a lesson. He couldn't help but raise his butt and shake his body to shake the water all over his body. But the next second, Qing was covered in water again. Jade was rewarded with a big bag.

Fufu shriveled up completely. Li Yushu was amused by its aggrieved look. He stepped forward and washed it carefully, "Fufu, be good, be obedient, and wash it clean. Your master will not bully you." Well, please bear with me for a while."

Fufu seemed to have listened, and his tail wagging again showed that his mood was gradually improving.

Qingyu, who was holding the linen in his hand, lowered his head and smiled, his originally impatient face full of joy and indescribable tenderness.

Xi Yunzhi ignored everyone's advice to her. She also sat down to do farm work with her hands that she usually practiced martial arts. After working for a while, she felt that her shoulders and neck were extremely sore. Being a farmer was really not an easy task.

"Danqiu, do you think I can make people's lives better?" Xi Yunzhi kept moving his hands, and after thinking for a long time, he finally asked the same question that he asked himself when asking others.

Liu Danqiu, who was sitting next to her, bent down and pulled the coated corn a little further away by its beard.

She heard this and said sincerely while peeling off the skin: "Cousin, your heart has proven that you have this ability."

Xi Yunzhi paused for a moment before continuing. She and Liu Danqiu looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, I will try my best."

The biggest reason why she wanted to reform the imperial examination system was because of her father, who had always studied diligently. What his father said to her the most was that he envied women who could be officials. The emperor also looked at her father differently for this reason...
