Sign in and get rich in farming

Chapter 24 A family of three goes to the city

Yu Hongdou had a dreamless night and even fell asleep in class. When she opened her eyes with a full stomach, she was faced with a storm of questions from her parents.

Even though Yu Sanlang and Xu quickly accepted the inexplicable night-shining pearl that appeared on their daughter's pillow last night, they actually had many questions in their hearts, but they didn't want to wake them up because their daughter was asleep.

"I picked it up." Yu Hongdou said confidently that she picked it up according to the sign-in point.

"Where did you pick it up? Has anyone seen it?" Like Yu Song before, Yu Sanlang's first reaction was whether his daughter's picking up of the bead would bring her danger.

"By the river, in the mud." Yu Hongdou shook her head. No one must have seen this. If she hadn't been so proud of herself, no one would have seen it except her.

"Hongdou, listen to your father. This pearl may be very precious and cannot be taken out to play with casually. Your parents will keep it for you and return it to you when you get married in the future, okay?" Yu Sanlang accepted his daughter's words easily and started to negotiate with her.

"No, use it to exchange official positions for my father and brother." Yu Hongdou waved her hand to refuse Yu Sanlang.

Compared to the days of being content with a small fortune, it is obvious that Yu Sanlang and Yu Song have greater ambitions, and the success of their father and brother will make their family live a better life, so she naturally supports them unconditionally.

Yu Sanlang was stunned for a moment, then he hugged his daughter and laughed. Instead of rejecting his daughter hypocritically, he actually wanted to exchange this night pearl for benefits in his heart.

After all, the night pearl is precious. Putting it in their home has no special meaning other than adding another thing that cannot be exposed to light and must be preserved with great care.

His wife now dares not even wear a gold hairpin when going out, let alone a night-shining pearl. If this thing is really left at home, I'm afraid his wife will not want to leave the house in the future.

If taking the beads could improve his and his son's future, raise their status, and make his wife and daughter live a better life, why not exchange them?

However, this was something his daughter had picked up, and Yu Sanlang didn't want to be like other families, ignoring their children's wishes and not treating them as human beings. He was afraid that the children would feel regret or even resentment when they recalled it in the future, so he always had to make it clear to his daughter.

He didn't expect that his daughter was so sensible and thought the same as him. How could a father be unhappy when such a caring little girl like him was so sweet?

"Okay, both of you hurry up and wash up and go into the city early to avoid the sun." It was getting late, and Xu couldn't bear to see the father and daughter quarreling endlessly, so she hurriedly urged them.

The father and daughter stood up immediately. Yu Hongdou watched her father take out a willow branch with the bristles bitten off to brush his teeth, and she couldn't help but grimace.

Nowadays, people's gums are sensitive, and they will bleed profusely if they are touched by slightly harder toothbrush bristles. If she were asked to use willow branches, she would probably vomit blood every day.

Yu Sanlang felt happy when he saw his daughter gargling her mouth with warm water and poking and rubbing her mouth with a stick wrapped in cloth.

I remembered that there seemed to be something called a toothbrush sold in the shops in the city. It was said that it was best to use it with tooth powder to brush teeth, so I decided to take my daughter to buy a set later.

Yu Hongdou brushed her teeth with a homemade children's toothbrush, cleaned it carefully, and hung it upside down to put it away.

Although the cleaning is not thorough enough and the toothbrush head is old and needs to be replaced, the dental floss made of hay is still a little better than willow branches.

The family of three did not have time to eat breakfast. They only took a few snacks and a can of water, borrowed a ox cart from the headman's house, and set out on the journey into the city.

This was Yu Hongdou's first time riding in a bullock cart, and also her first time out of the village. Xu wrapped her in a thin blanket like a baby worm and held her in her arms. She could only turn her little head and look at this strange world curiously.

The spring with green willows, singing birds and croaking ducks is like a landscape painting, which makes people who see it relax unconsciously.

Yu Hongdou admired the scenery along the way and asked her parents a hundred thousand questions.

Which direction are we going? Is there a village in the mountain opposite? Are there many fish and shrimps in the water? How many people are there in the village?

After leaving Taoyuan Village and seeing Taoxi Village across a river, Yu Hongdou couldn't help but stretch her neck to look at the people washing and fetching water by the river, wondering if the heroine would be among them.

There are naturally green check-in locations along the way. Most of the time, Yu Hongdou can only see a green light. Some of the ones that are closer can clearly see the positioning cursor and text on them, such as:

[Sign-in location: The nameless grave in Taoyuan Village. Does it cost 1 point to sign in? ]

[Sign-in location: Taoyuan Village, a pile of graves on a barren hill. Does it cost 1 point to sign in? ]

[Sign-in location: Tomb of Empress Qingchao, do you want to spend 2 points to sign in? ]

...Yu Hongdou looked at the sign-in words that were so close together that they were almost overlapping, and shuddered for no apparent reason.

It is clearly a depression on the side of the road, without even a grave, but there are three cemetery check-in points. Could it be that this is a Feng Shui treasure land, suitable for a cemetery?

"Dad, what dynasty is Qing Dynasty?" Yu Hongdou now really doesn't want to admit that she is illiterate and legally illiterate.

At present, she only knows that the background of the whole story is the establishment of a new dynasty, and the founding emperor is Emperor Anhe.

Yu Hongdou couldn’t remember what the previous dynasty was called, or whether it was mentioned in the novel.

"Qing Dynasty? Well, it should be a dynasty before the previous one. It seems that it was usurped by the previous dynasty less than a hundred years after its founding." Yu Sanlang frowned and thought for a while before he remembered.

"How did Hongdou hear about the Qing Dynasty?" If her husband hadn't explained it to her, Xu wouldn't have been able to remember which dynasty this Qing Dynasty was.

"I forgot. I just thought of it suddenly." Yu Hongdou blinked. Yu Sanlang and his wife didn't ask any further questions and just let her get away with it.

Yu Hongdou pondered it for a while and felt that the Qing Dynasty must be quite poor, otherwise why would the tomb of an empress be buried so casually on the roadside? It was too shabby.

I completely forgot about the prices of the two check-in points clearly marked at the check-in location.

The ox cart swayed slowly, and when it passed Taoxi Village, it saw a pastoral scene. Looking at it for a long time, she couldn't help feeling drowsy. In addition, wrapped in Xu's arms, she felt like she was being rocked by her mother, and soon Yu Hongdou fell asleep.

Yu Hongdou slept soundly all the way, and when she woke up, she could already see the gate of the county town.

The city wall was not as tall as those in ancient ruins and film and television works, but there were people in police uniforms standing guard at the city gate. Yu Hongdou stared at the gate that was getting closer and closer.

Yu Hongdou was delighted when she saw the two big characters "Wu'an" written neatly above the city gate.

She knew these two words!

Since traveling through time, Yu Hongdou has paid much attention to words.

Firstly, I want to know whether the culture and writing in this fictional world in the book are the same as those of a dynasty in a parallel world.

Secondly, I also wanted to verify whether I had traveled through time and space and became an illiterate person.

The first words that Yu Hongdou used to verify were those on money. One must be able to recognize money, right?

What made her depressed was that she finally dug out a copper coin from home, but found that the four words on the coin were just scribbled on, and she couldn't recognize whether they were words or patterns.

Then there was the two taels of silver that was snatched away. There was only a stamp on the silver, and it was impossible to tell what was engraved on the stamp.

The couplet at the village chief's house looked like cursive writing, but she didn't dare to recognize it, and couldn't recognize a single word. She even suspected whether it was the writing of a minority ethnic group.

Until now, Yu Hongdou finally regained a little confidence.

Well, she announced that from now on Kaili is her favorite font!
