The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chen clasped her hands together and closed her eyes devoutly, looking as if she was fulfilling a vow.

"Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you. Lotus, did you really dream of the Bodhisattva?"

Su He smiled and nodded to Chen, "The old lady will surely get what she wants."

Chen heaved a sigh of relief, "Yuan, go get my wooden box."

Mother Zhang glared at Su He angrily. Damn it, she was fooled by this damn girl again.

If Su He knew about this, he would definitely retort unconvincedly, what is lying? It was a white lie, as long as the old man likes it.

Besides, she got the salary based on her own ability. With her 9.0 eyesight, she saw the letter dropped on the ground and got the key points in just a few glances.

Su He wanted to remind Zhang's mother not to litter everywhere, but then she thought that since she hadn't received the money yet, it wouldn't hurt to say it later.

Before the massage even started, I received two silver notes, which meant a total of one thousand taels.

Su He stuffed the banknotes into her arms with satisfaction. She hoped that the Third Madam would work harder and try to have two children in three years.

In this way, everyone was happy. She earned her money, Chen had a few more grandchildren, and the third wife had a few more children.

But speaking of this, she actually has a few good prescriptions that are suitable for pregnant women. Let's not talk about it today, it will still be in time in five days.

"Madam, let's get started!"

Su He started working with a smile on his face.

Before going home, I go shopping at the market as usual.

The whole family was exhausted in the past two or three months. The older ones took care of the fields, and the younger ones learned to read and write. Su He killed a chicken every three days and made chicken soup for everyone. Some of these chickens were bought by Su He himself in the county town, and some were brought by Wen Niang.

Wen Niang had always been thinking about the pork she had borrowed from Su He when she got married to Wang Sheng. Originally, Wen Niang only wanted to pay the money, but Su He thought that since she was accompanying Mu Tou to study, she had no time to raise chickens, so she simply asked Wen Niang to raise a few more chickens and send them to her when they were grown up.

Wen Niang had no objection, and she started giving away chickens as soon as they grew up in the past two months.

There is not a single Suhe left, so we will stew a few for everyone to drink.

In addition to chicken, there is also meat.

Su He was not stingy at all. She would buy meat and flour every time she came back from a massage, either to make dumplings or meat buns.

There are many people in my family, so I make hundreds of them each time, and this is enough for one meal.

Spending money like this has an effect. Although we are tired this year, no one has lost weight, and our complexions are getting better and better.

This time she went to the bookstore and bought some paper. The little ones all worked very hard. The most surprising one was Tiantian. She was extremely talented and a natural learner. She could learn things quickly. Moreover, the words she wrote on the floor were the most beautiful among the four. The other three were just as bad.

Mu Tou spent three months learning the Thousand Character Classic.

Tiantian spent two months learning nearly 300 words, which is already amazing. You have to know that Tiantian is only five years old after the Chinese New Year, four years younger than Mu Tou. In addition to learning to read, Tiantian also followed Yanzhi to embroider at a very young age. After only one year, she could embroider quite well. A lotus flower stands on the white handkerchief, pure white and moving.

This was embroidered by Tiantian specifically for Su He. Su He solemnly found a wooden box and put the handkerchief away.

There was still a month before Mu Tou's exam, and Su He took over as a teacher at the Su Family Primary School.

Su He slightly changed the class content and divided the five students into three groups.

Tiantian’s course is individual. First, the three little ones are taught 3 new words, then they learn from each other, and then Tiantian is taught 10 new words individually.

After both groups had taught themselves and reviewed, she went to look for wood.

Mu Tou was memorizing the examination books in the study. In this dynasty, there was only one book for the examination for students of different social classes, and it was called "The Four Books".

Su He estimated that the content inside was different from that of her era, but Su He didn't care. She was a poor student and didn't want to learn anything at all.

This time, Mu Tou was only allowed to take the examination to give it a try and let him feel the atmosphere. According to Su He, Mu Tou still had a long way to go, but she respected Mu Tou's opinion.

Mu Tou's exam was a huge matter for the Wang family. Although it was a busy time before the autumn harvest, the Wang family unanimously decided to send Mu Tou to take the exam.

But Su He refused. Since she had chosen this path, she would face many challenges in the future. Her family was busy, so sending a few representatives to express her feelings would be enough.

Time passed and it was the day for Mu Tou to take the examination. Su He took Mu Tou Shunzi and Liu Niang back to the county one day in advance. The next day, Su He got up early and personally sent Mu Tou to take the examination.

For the first time, a lot of people gathered in front of the county government office. Mu Tou was a little nervous at first, but when he saw a little fat man running to the toilet three times in a quarter of an hour, he was so nervous that he broke out in sweat. But then he calmed down.

It’s no big deal, my sister said, as long as you write it carefully, don’t make any typos, and keep the paper neat, that’s enough.

"Sister, I'll go in first."

"Okay, don't think about anything now. Just take the test paper and do it carefully. Remember to check it after you finish it. Come out early if there is no problem."

Mu Tou nodded seriously, then nodded to Shunzi who was standing aside, and went in calmly.

This is how Mu Tou’s first exam began.

Su He did not leave immediately. She and Shunzi stayed at the edge of the crowd, wanting to feel the atmosphere of sending off students for the exam.

All around were family members who were sending their children to take the exams. People who didn't know each other were having lively discussions. At this moment, everyone had the same identity, that is, the parents of the candidates.

"Mr. Li, are you here to send your son to the examination room again this time?"

"Hey, who else could it be but me? The women at home can't stand this kind of stimulation. This is the sixth time to take the exam. If we fail again, we will have to consider giving up. The family can't support us anymore."

"Yes, Guang'er's grandfather has been disappointed three times. If he fails this time, I will not let Guang'er continue to study. I will save money for him to marry a wife in the next few years, and then save money to open a store for him so that he can support his wife and children without worries."

Two middle-aged men were chatting. It was obvious that they knew each other. The one with the thin face was Lao Li, and the other one with the round face and thick neck was Guang'er's father.

Su He nodded. Guang'er's father was really honest.

"Ah, you are quite open-minded, unlike Uncle Zheng, whose son is already 40 years old and is still taking the Tongsheng exam. He has sold all the land at home but still refuses to give up."

"Hey, he's just a fool, don't talk about him. Hey, I just came back from the north last month, let me tell you, the beautiful women in the north are causing trouble again. It's a good thing I sold my goods early, otherwise I would have lost half of my property this time. I guess there might be a war."

When Guang'er's father said the last sentence, he subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice to speak to Lao Li.

"what?"

"Keep your voice down. This is still uncertain."

Su He pretended to turn her head to look at the scenery, her heart was filled with turmoil. No way, could it be that the incident involving Landlord Jin had exposed the evil ambitions of the Dali Kingdom and made the Dayong Dynasty want to start a rebellion?

What preparations are needed for war? Food? Silver? Weapons?

Even though Su He had some space, she was still a little panicked. No, she had to go back and make a good plan. Regardless of whether the two countries might go to war or not, she, Su He, could not fight an unprepared war.

Thinking of this, Su He was no longer in the mood to wait for Mu Tou. She said hello to Shun Zi and asked Shun Zi to wait at the entrance of the examination room. She walked back by herself.

Walking back, I thought about how to deal with it.
