Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

Time passed in August in the blink of an eye. Qin An watched in the shop. She had also added the tea sets intermittently. There was not a single transaction. He lay down on the sofa cushions, Heizi asked him to shave his head, and he drank all the tea leaves. .

And he had enough reasons: Your son is too stupid and taught me to get angry, so I need to drink tea to relieve the anger...

Mao Xiaosui didn't know him as well, so he went to the Zaxiang Meat Restaurant after coming out of the shop.

Even if it's not a meal business, it's still okay. There are a few customers eating in twos and threes.

On the opening day, Mao Xiaosui also came, helped out for a while, and ate a bowl of pig offal. The more she ate the food, the more she became addicted to it. It had only been a few days since she was greedy again, and she packed a large bowl back to give to a couple of people in the shop. Xiao, after eating Li Ruyi and Li Ankang continued to be exploited by Teacher Qin, Mao Xiaosui also went to Zhang Qing to learn how to read.

Heizi was quite comfortable. He would either lie in front of the shop or in the pavilion every day. He would also lie down in the clothing store when Qin An was annoyed.

It came not long after Mao Xiaosui sat down. The town was no better than the village. There were no woods for it to run around, and there were no endless mountain rats for it to eat. Under Mao Xiaosui's vigorous diet, his buttocks were obviously not so round.

Zhang Qing held the custom-made clothes in her hand and corrected her handwriting from time to time. Her life was very leisurely.

Zhang Qing asked, "Are you going to the market?"

"What to buy?" Mao Xiaosui asked casually.

"I haven't been there for a long time. Let's take a look around, collect some dry goods and buy some fish."

She realized that Zhang Qing was talking about the Ding family episode.

Mao Xiaosui shook his head. She could only go to the market to see the Ding family, and it would be the same for the Chinese New Year.

She didn't understand something. Although the business in the clothing store was not very good, there was still business every one or two days, and they made a lot of money. Zhang Qing's family gave her the impression that they were very frugal and always worried about money.

She still asked, "Is the family short of money?"

Zhang Qing sighed, "Qian Lin's annual tuition is ten taels, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and he earns barely enough money to spend."

Mao Xiaosui knew that these things were expensive, and he didn't think so after buying them once or twice. After careful calculation, they were indeed a lot.

"Qian Lin will take the imperial examination in the future?" In fact, it can be seen that he works hard, which is different from the hard work Gao Zixing was forced to do.

Zhang Qing laughed, "He has this idea himself, but it's because we don't have the ability. The gentlemen in the town have limited knowledge and can't teach much, and we don't have the ability to go to the county for the time being."

"It's so expensive despite limited knowledge." Mao Xiaosui didn't quite understand.

"There's nothing I can do. I'll have to ask him to help me when I go to the county in the future. I'll just waste it year after year."

Mao Xiaosui didn't know very well so he didn't ask anymore. He just said, "My family Ankang has no such plan."

"You don't have any plans?" Zhang Qing was a little surprised. As long as the family has the conditions, who doesn't want their children to be named on the gold medal list and to honor their ancestors.

"No plan." Mao Xiaosui shook his head, "I will definitely read the book. As for whether he pursues an official career or not, it's up to him."

"I feel that there is no shortage of food and drink. The lighter the life, the better. The higher you climb, the greater the responsibility. Taking the official career test can indeed prove a person's ability, but it is not only the official career test that proves a person's ability. I allow myself to be an ordinary person." As a person, he naturally allows my son to be an ordinary person as long as he is willing. In a word: everyone has his own ambitions and is happy."

Zhang Qing became happy, "You are indeed very different."

Mao Xiaosui sighed. Her idea was not necessarily a good one, but she did not want to force it.

Li Yunshan didn't come back much these days, and Mao Xiaosui waited until the sun was almost setting before calling Li Ruyi and Li Ankang home.

The green vegetables in the yard were growing well, so she only left a small piece, pulled out the rest, and quickly planted cabbage while the ground was soft.

It was still bright after planting, so she started cooking. She dug out a bowl of flour and boiled pancakes, fried a plate of green vegetables, and then fried a plate of eggs.

After moving the table to the yard and about to eat, Widow Qian came in from the door and was stunned for a moment when she saw them eating, "Are you the only ones eating?"

"I just finished planting cabbage." She asked, "Auntie, would you like to eat some?"

Widow Qian glanced at the food on the table and quickly put it away. She smiled and shook her head, "I have already found people for the rabbit skin washing you mentioned last time. They are all honest people... I just want to Let me ask you, when will I be able to live again?"

"Almost mid-August."

Widow Qian nodded, "I'll leave first then, you can eat."

Mao Xiaosui responded without sending her off.

After rolling the vegetables into the pancake, Mao Xiaosui was stuffing it into her mouth when she saw Li Ankang staring at the door and not moving. She turned her head and found another head popping up at the door.

She has gray hair and is an old lady next door who doesn’t go out much.

"What's wrong, grandma?" Mao Xiaosui asked.

The old lady entered the door but still stood at the door and asked her, "What kind of job does the widow just have? Can I do it?"

Mao Xiaosui was stunned. She saw that there were more children than adults in the alley. Just by listening to the noise, she could tell which families were allowed to interact with and which ones were not.

Over the past few days, she had seen the old lady only a handful of times, and she probably knew that she lived alone.

It's just that we can't do the work of washing rabbit skins here. We have to go to the river. The well here is for drinking water. If you use it, you will be scolded. The old lady is too old to walk such a long distance.

She didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she shook her head, "If you can't do it, there are enough people."

The old lady didn't bother anymore, turned around and left.

Compared to the people in the village who are stubborn and shameless, the people here seem to know how to keep face.

Just listen to Li Ankang ask, "Does this grandma have no son?"

Mao Xiaosui shook his head. Naturally, she didn't know.

The desk promised by the carpenter was finally delivered in mid-August.

Mao Xiaosui said jokingly, "I thought you thought I didn't give you any money and you forgot."

The carpenter laughed and said, "I was so busy that I didn't care. This was done by my son."

Mao Xiaosui, the carpenter's son, has been seen a few times. He brought the things in the shop, but he didn't talk much. Now he laughed when his father mentioned him, "I'm not as good as my father, don't dislike."

"No way." Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "My man is not at home, so I won't invite you in to drink water."

The carpenter waved his hand, "I'll give you the stuff, let's go."

Mao Xiaosui happily agreed and said, "I wish you a prosperous business."

The carpenter laughed and replied, "I also wish you a prosperous business."

The table was not big and could be moved by one person. Mao Xiaosui moved it and put it on, and then put the pen and ink on it. It really looked like that.

After sitting and writing for a while, I went out after listening to Heizi's cry. Li Yunshan also came back with him.

Li Yunshan comes back every few days. He doesn't look so tired today. He is holding a baby in one hand and has a smile on his face.

"Did you pick up the money?" Mao Xiaosui asked in surprise.

"I didn't pick it up." Li Yunshan put down the basket, which contained some peeled rabbit skins and half a basket of meat underneath.

Mao Xiaosui saw that the color of his clothes was darker, and it should be stained with blood, so he urged, "I'll boil water for you, change your clothes and scrub them first."

Li Yunshan: "Don't worry, I'll bring some meat to Qin An."

Mao Xiaosui: "Then I'll take the rabbit skin to Widow Qian's house."

The two of them then went out separately.
