I don't want to have children

"Haha, I'm going to get sand and branches, Wang Xing and Wang Zu, let's go together." The kitten dropped the needle and thread in its hand and jumped up and shouted.

"Brother, you just don't want to learn embroidery, do you!" Wu Su'er shouted at the kitten's back.

Looking for Wang Dazhu, who was following an old carpenter to help others make furniture, nailed a few small and small shallow wooden plates with the corners of discarded wood. Half a bucket of dry sand, carefully spread a layer on a shallow wooden plate, the reusable paper is ready, find a few wooden sticks and sharpen one end to be a pen.The kitten also found a relatively large board and a few stones with white marks on it by the river, preparing to become a teacher's addiction.

Dinner is very simple, just one cake per person and half a bowl of miscellaneous grain porridge. There are no vegetables or anything, and all that can be grown have just been planted. Eggs, pork, etc. are rare things.

"Little cat, Xuejun's yard in the village, the adobe bricks and tiles, daddy has brought them back for you, and I will help you build a house when daddy and your brother Dazhu are free." Wang Er gnawed Cake Bian said to the little cat.

"It's okay, don't worry, brother Xuejun will live in the town for the time being." The kitten said nonchalantly, "I don't think the village yard will be needed for a while."

"I don't have time to come back for a while, and I won't come back in the future. If I have time, I still have to build the house first." Wu Su'er said while sharing a little of the leftover grains and porridge in the pot with Wang Er, Wang Dazhu and Li Jiaer. .

"I'll wait until my elder brother has almost finished his art studies. Now we can't finish the work in the field, so there is no time to make unnecessary houses." The kitten divided the remaining small piece of cake into two and put it away. to the twin bowls.

"Cat, eat more, you don't have much meat on your body." Seeing this, Wu Su'er shook her head and advised.

"Brother, you eat your own, we have our own." Wang Xing, who was born a little earlier among the twins, said.

"That's right, that's right." Wang Zu also echoed.

"Hurry up and eat your food. I can't eat enough to let you share it. We can't waste the food now." The kitten gave each of the twins a bite, and said displeasedly.

"I have been a picky eater since I was a child. If you don't eat, you will wake up hungry again in the middle of the night." Wu Su'er reprimanded.

"Ah, I know it myself. I'm hungry for these cakes and miscellaneous grains. It doesn't matter." The kitten gulped down the porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Wu Su'er.

The lamp oil was also distributed by the government on a household basis a while ago, and now the town has begun to sell lamp oil, but it is surprisingly expensive, so in order to save lamp oil, the kitten can only teach the twins and Li Jiaer to read by moonlight in the yard.

"Wang Xing, you are sleeping again!" The kitten carefully wrote down a few commonly used characters on the wooden board, and turned around to find Wang Xing, one of the twins, whose face was almost buried in the sand table.

The kitten taught the twins and Li Jiaer a dozen words every day, and taught some simple arithmetic, and soon discovered that the twins usually looked the same in everything, but Wang Xing was obviously not interested in reading and literacy, but he was good at arithmetic. In a few days, I will try to do the math in everything I do on weekdays; Wang Zu is more disciplined, no matter what the kitten teaches, he will carefully memorize, although the arithmetic is not as good as Wang Xing, it is obviously more like a book reader; Li Jiaer has learned ten times. I won't follow the lessons in the next day, and I will ask the kitten when I have time on weekdays, he has too many things to do.

Li Xuejun headed south all the way, planning to find goods in or near the capital. He expected that prices around the capital would be least affected, and supplies would be relatively abundant.When the north was hit by a disaster, what Li Xuejun was most worried about when there were refugees at the beginning was actually Zhao Hong who had returned to the north.Li Xuejun bought a lot of seeds, eggs, piglets, etc. Although the government would distribute the seeds for free, after all, there were only the main types. The eggs were all selected, and most of them could be used for hatching, and the piglets must also be in high demand.Although it is difficult to transport eggs and piglets, but excluding the loss on the road, they will definitely make a fortune after arriving in Qingshi Town.Li Xuejun hired a few carriages and walked on a relatively stable official road, and the journey was uneventful.

"Ah, cat, are you home?" After arriving in Qingshi Town, Li Xuejun packed his goods and came to Dahe Village.

"Brother Xuejun, you are back." The kitten came out of the room and said happily.

"Hey, find a place to lock up the two little pigs." Li Xuejun took the pannier off his back.

"Ah, where did you get it?" the kitten exclaimed in surprise.

"I was looking for goods this time, and I brought a batch back along the way. How are you doing at home?" Li Xuejun looked at the smile on the kitten's face, and asked softly, feeling soft in his heart.

"Well, it's okay, but I don't have much food to eat." The kitten gang took over the heavy burden from Li Xuejun's hands: "How many things did you bring, it's so heavy!"

"Be careful, there are some seeds and a few eggs inside." Li Xuejun walked in with the kitten in the basket.

After Li Xuejun told the little cat about the purchase situation, the little cat had to admire that Li Xuejun really had a business mind.

"Eggs don't need a hen, how do you hatch them?" The kitten knew that in the previous life, it could use various machines to control the temperature and artificially hatch. There should be no such technology here.

"I saw a big family in the capital who raised chickens and hatched them on a hot kang." Li Xuejun replied, taking a sip of herbal tea.

The kitten frowned when he heard this: those big chicken farmers must have learned how to heat the kang to hatch chickens after many times.Just seeing Li Xuejun's slightly tired face, the kitten swallowed the question in his mouth.

"A'er, go to Butcher Zheng to see if there is any meat, and cut some back." After returning home, Wu Su'er took out half of the money from the house and stuffed it into Wang's second hand, and ordered.

"Ah, no need, it's just the same as you usually do." Li Xuejun stopped Wang Er when he heard Wu Su'er's voice.

"Go, you're here, let's have a good meal together." Wu Su'er pushed Wang Er.

Wang Er smiled and took the money and went out.

"Ah, you eat a few eggs first, and when the chicks hatch, I'll send some over." Li Xuejun said to Wu Su'er.

"It's not easy for you to do business by yourself, don't send anything to our house." Wu Su'er confessed.

After lunch, Wu Su'er urged the kitten to pack up, now there is no carriage available in Qingshi Town, so the kitten and Li Xuejun had to walk back to the town.

"Little cat, Xuejun is working hard outside doing business, so don't make trouble with him at home, I understand!" Wu Su'er said while helping the little cat fold the clothes.

"Ah, I know." The kitten wrapped all the clothes together and replied.

Outside, Wang Er chatted with Li Xuejun: "Our kitten has been in poor health since he was a child, and he was raised pampered. You should pay more attention to it. Don't take the cat too seriously if you have any problems on weekdays." "Well, I will take care of the cat, the cat is very sensible and will not mess around." Li Xuejun replied.

"Wang Xing, Wang Zu, you need to write more characters to teach you. Father will send you to school after the school is built. Don't forget it all." Before the kitten left, he beckoned the twins to come over and told him. road.

"We remember." The twins nodded.

Back in the town, Li Xuejun was arranging things in the store, and at the same time doing the experiment of hatching eggs with the kitten.There is no thermometer here, and the kitten and Li Xuejun don't know how high the temperature is for incubating eggs. The kitten found several stoves, with thin stone plates, straw, cotton wool, etc. on them, and put a few eggs on each stove. Be careful. Control the different heats of several ovens.Under Kitty's suggestion, Li Xuejun sold most of the eggs directly.

"Keep dozens of eggs, and after they hatch this time, I'll buy them again, otherwise, the eggs will all be ruined." The kitten stood by the stove and said to Li Xuejun, who was trying to settle the accounts.

"It's okay, Mao'er, next time I buy something, I'll take you with me, okay?" Li Xuejun looked up at the little cat whose cheeks were red from the fire.

"Okay, we're not busy at home, so let's go together." The kitten said happily upon hearing this.

"After the Chinese New Year this time, let's ask someone to repair the courtyard in the village. What do you think?" Li Xuejun simply put down the account book and chatted with the kitten.

The kitten shook his head: "No hurry, you can live with me when you return to the village, it's not bad!"

"It's better to do it well. We can't stay at Ahma's house every time we go home." Li Xuejun said.

"If you have money left, you can repair the yard first." The kitten carefully flipped the charcoal in the stove, and the eggs on two stoves were broken, and the eggs on this stove were the best. The light can already see a formed embryo inside.

"Take a break, let me do it." Li Xuejun took the fire stick from the kitten's hand and said.

The kitten straightened up, thumped his lower back a few times with his backhand, and moved his numb legs while walking in the room: "What do you want to eat tonight, boiled noodles or pancakes?"

"Don't burn it, let's go out for a walk later." Li Xuejun suggested.

"No, people have to watch the stove." The kitten sat down and said.

"It's okay, just for a while, go out to catch your breath."

The kitten thought for a while, if adding charcoal into it, there should be no problem if you don’t look at it for a while, so it nodded.

The layout of Qingshi Town is still the same as before, and the market is still in its original location, because now there are many people from the north gathered in the town, and the snacks in the market at night have many more special snacks from the north.These stalls have only appeared in the past month.Li Xuejun took the kitten to visit several of his shops, and bought some pancakes before going home.

"Are there any novel seeds in the south?" Kitten asked after seeing the seed shop and arriving home.

"Yes, but we can't grow them here. I'm going to the south in the beginning of the new year. I want to apply for the official examination when I come back." Li Xuejun explained his plan to the kitten.

This year, the new emperor issued a notice that in the disaster-stricken places, especially the burned-out places like Qingshi Town, the use of test papers will be relaxed, and the conditions for applying for the test will be lowered. In the past, a guarantor and bond were required Yes, all of them are canceled now, you can refer to them as long as you want.

"Do you want to be an official?" Kitten asked.

"No, it's more convenient to travel outside with a reputation." Li Xuejun replied.

Officials here are not allowed to do business, but after passing the test of merit, as long as they don't become officials, they will be fine. With fame, it will be much more convenient for them to go through the government. Li Xuejun has a deep understanding of this in the past few years.
