daily struggle in ancient times

The Huo family mansion.

Today is the first time I saw my husband. Tong Geer was so nervous that he didn't sleep well all night. He got up just after the first crowing of the rooster. After cleaning himself up carefully, he quietly began to recall the things he learned in the past. Knowledge.

Since Wei Yun and Huo Cheng got married, Brother Tong also learned a lot of characters from his uncle and younger brother Wei, especially after younger brother Wei went to school, he would find time to teach the children at home to read and write every night when he came back. Goudan and the others were not left behind either, so not only did Brother Tong know a lot of characters, he had even finished reading the Three Character Classic.

I just don't know what the teacher will teach, and whether he will test him.

Thinking of this, Brother Tong felt a little flustered, couldn't help reviewing what he had learned before, and felt that he hadn't forgotten anything, so he went to the husband under the urging of the servant.

The masters of the Huo family were few, so Huo Cheng simply let everyone live not far away, so Brother Tong didn't take a few steps before he saw the small courtyard where Mr. Cheng lived.

This small courtyard is considered to be the farthest from the main courtyard among the Huo family's living courtyards.After all, Mr. Cheng is a woman. Although she is not young, she still needs to pay attention.

But the courtyard also has its own advantages. No one disturbs the environment and the environment is quiet. It is a good place to study. Mr. Cheng is very satisfied.

Mr. Cheng met Tong Geer once when he came back, but he left a deep impression on Tong Geer.Without him, Mr. Cheng is really not good enough, so he will remember it in his heart.

Brother Tong controlled himself and saluted according to the etiquette taught by his servants: "I have met you, sir. Good morning, sir."

Mr. Cheng nodded indifferently, and his peaceful and kind eyes became more and more incompatible with that harsh face, "Yesterday, the Lord told me that you have finished studying the Three Character Classic?"

Brother Tong nodded, and said softly: "I just finished learning with my younger brother at home, but I'm not very proficient yet."

"Well." Mr. Cheng looked at Brother Tong seriously, with seriousness in his voice that could not be ignored: "Today is the first time we meet, what I say next is very important, you must think carefully before answering me. "

Brother Tong's heart skipped a beat, but he nodded cautiously on his face.

Mr. Cheng smiled inwardly, and continued: "The uncle invited me to teach the young master, but he didn't specify what to teach. The uncle said that what you want to learn depends entirely on the young master's ideas."

Brother Tong was a little confused for a moment. He originally thought that he would learn whatever the teacher taught him. Why is it now that he chooses it himself?

Seeing Brother Tong like this, Mr. Cheng was not surprised. He thought for a while before continuing: "The young master probably can't think of it for a while, so I will tell the young master about the past. This little brother and the girl study, there is no need to worry about it." There are only two kinds, one is to read some superficial books, knowing some truths is enough, the focus is on how to run the house and how to serve and please the husband-in-law. Those who can’t take scientific examinations are no worse than those scholars with fame.”

"If the young master chooses the former, then there is a limit to what I can teach the young master. I am afraid that the uncle will have to ask for another education. But if he chooses the latter, then there is no need to ask for another, but the young master is more important than before. It’s just a lot of suffering.”

She, Cheng Yanyu, is not only good at teaching people to read, but she is good at housekeeping and self-cultivation. The only thing she doesn't know is how to please men and make things better for herself.

Eunuch Han told her about the situation of Huo's family. To put it bluntly, he is an upstart. Brother Tong is not much different from those illiterate brothers in the village.But Mr. Cheng still wanted to ask, to see what kind of thoughts this little brother would have, even if it was his first test for his disciples.

Mr. Cheng didn't wait too long, not even half a quarter of an hour, Tong Geer gave his own answer: "I choose the second one, and I hope you can teach me."

During the quarter of an hour, Brother Tong actually didn't even have half the time to think. Most of the time was spent on understanding Mr. Cheng's words, but it was a pity that he was still a little strange in the end.

In his opinion, my uncle and uncle invited Mr. Cheng all the way here just to let him study and understand. If he chose the first option, then why did my uncle and the others bother to invite Mr. Cheng? , Ping County can find the right one.

It is the first situation that Mr. Cheng mentioned, in the eyes of Tong Geer, it is simply inexplicable.Uncle told him that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. It is better to be able to stand up for yourself, and there is no need to please others and wrong yourself.

Mr. Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, but he was extremely satisfied with Tong Ge'er's answer, but he didn't show anything on his face. He just nodded his head indifferently, and started his first trip to class.

And Wei Yun, who had been listening outside for a while, was completely relieved. Today was the first day, and he was worried, so he came over to have a look. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard what Mr. Cheng asked Brother Tong. , and suddenly his heart raised his throat, and his heart was also very anxious.

Fortunately, Brother Tong did not disappoint them.

The most reliable person in this world is yourself, and only when you are strong enough to protect and support yourself, will you not have the possibility of not being able to survive for a long time.As for the relationship between husband and wife, it is never maintained by the favor of one party, but the exchange of sincerity.

The peaceful days always pass very quickly, three years have passed in a flash, and the life of the Huo family has become more and more enjoyable.

No one came to make trouble, and the Huo family had land and money. Although the bacon business could not be done in Qingyuan County, it could still be done in Ping County.The Huo family's store in the city that sold snacks and meals had long been divided into two as the scale gradually expanded.

Nowadays, dim sum shops are dim sum shops, and restaurants are restaurants. Although they are adjacent to each other, they do not interfere with each other.Wei Yun took in a few small beggars from the city, and bought a few that were sold but had good craftsmanship and put them in the store. He is both a chef and the master of these beggars, and the business is booming. fire.

Wei Yun has been busy these past few years, and Huo Cheng has not been idle either.

Watermelons are now the main source of income for many families in Lijia Village. The big guys generally don't grow much, most of them only have one mu, and the most are only two or three mu, and this is exactly what Huo Cheng wants.

People depend on food, and the growth of watermelon, like other crops, is full of huge risks. Even because it is not a local species and there is only one proficient person, Gou Liuge, the risk is much higher than other crops.

It's not that Huo Cheng doesn't want everyone to breed, but he doesn't want everyone to plant blindly when there is still a guarantee of food.Although there will be a lot of sweetness at the beginning, and it is even possible to get rich overnight, but people are greedy.

If you have one tael, you will think about ten taels, and if you have ten taels, you will think about a hundred taels. After tasting the huge sweetness from selling watermelons, everyone will just blindly buy land to expand planting like crazy.And once the heavens do not reward them, these villagers who have not yet established a solid foundation and accumulated a certain amount of capital will be completely out of the game, and their fate will be miserable.

In addition, Huo Cheng has another consideration. Although Pingxian County and the surrounding counties can eat a lot of watermelons, this thing cannot be stored for a long time after all, which means that no matter how many people outside, how many there are Money, how willing to eat melons, there is only a group of people that Lijia Village can catch.

The people who eat it only increase or decrease in a small range. Correspondingly, watermelons can only increase or decrease in a small range. Once the supply surges, everyone can’t eat so much. Not only can’t grow watermelons, but they may even lose money.

Huo Cheng made this theory very clear to the village chief, which is why although there have been dissatisfied people in recent years, they haven't caused any disturbances.

Huo Cheng also knows that this situation won't last long, but he has tried his best, and what will happen after that is the villagers' own choice, and he can just have a clear conscience.

Thanks to him, the entire Lijia Village has changed a lot, and it has become a well-known wealthy village in the vicinity of ten miles and eight villages. The men, brothers and women in the village are very sought-after.

The village is no longer full of mud and tile houses as in the past, but blue brick and tile houses can be seen everywhere, and everyone's life finally has a little bit of comfort in it.

It was the busy farming season right now, and the whole Lijia Village was immersed in the busy farming atmosphere. The sun was so hot that everyone who was working in the fields was sweating profusely.

In the pond not far from the farmland, two little radish heads in short jackets and shorts were getting together, their little buttocks pouted high, and they didn't know what they were doing.

I don't know how long it took before the one on the left sat down on the ground as if exhausted, revealing a shiny forehead, "Oh, I'm exhausted, why is this shrimp so hard to catch!"

The child beside him could not hold on for a long time. Seeing him sitting down now, he quickly sat down too, and sighed with his chin in his hands: "Yes! It's really hard! Peace, you Ah, do you really want to eat shrimp?"

The bald boy nodded vigorously, "I really want to!"

"But shrimp are so hard to catch!" The child looked at the small river in front of him sadly.

It is said to be a small river, but in fact it is just a small stream branched from the small river in the village. It was artificially created by everyone to water the land.

The two of them were small, and Xiaohe didn't dare to go because he would be spanked by adults, so he could only run here.But after catching for so long, there were only two or three of them, and the two children were a little discouraged, but when they thought that this was what Ahma/Yun Ahma wanted to eat, no matter how reluctant the two children were, they had to cheer up and continue fishing.

The bald-headed boy was also a little wilted. He imitated the tenant he saw this morning, put his little hand on his forehead, looked at the majestic sun in the sky, and said seriously: "The hard to catch is delicious! I heard from the doctor , Eating more shrimps will make you smarter, let’s give me a little more, and if he eats more, my younger brother will become smarter. From now on, we will have military advisors for whatever we do!”

A low chuckle came from behind, and the bald boy's expression changed, he turned his head instantly, and said sharply, "Who! Come out!"

His original intention was to frighten the person who was eavesdropping and laughing behind them, for this reason, he specially imitated his father's fiercest and most intimidating expression in the past.

But the child overlooked one of the most important points. His father was tall and had a vicious aura, and a frown could scare people to death.But he is just a four-year-old milk doll, with a five-short figure and a chubby body. When he frowns, he can only be cute, and his lethality is not at the same level as his father.

Hu Siqi, who watched for a while, couldn't help but burst out laughing.These two kids are really fun, especially the bald one.It is said that the body, hair and skin of the parents should not be damaged easily, otherwise it would be unfilial, but this child is good, not only moved, but also moved thoroughly, this little brain is so bright, I am afraid that there is no need to light the lamp at night!
