Farming in another world to make a fortune

Because of the environment in which he grew up, Jin Chuan is much more observant than ordinary people.

After he woke up from the coma that day, the reactions of Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen made it easy for him to guess that they were trying to match him and Yu Zhou.

But Yu Zhou didn't seem to have any plans for him, and he really had nowhere to go, so after Yu Zhou asked him to stay, he agreed.

And even if he didn't say something, he knew it clearly in his heart.

As a brother, he is full. In a normal family, even if he is not married, he must be engaged.

It is impossible for him not to marry forever, but he doesn't want to hand himself over to someone he doesn't understand.

In this case, Yu Zhou, who had saved his life but was also unmarried, was actually a good one to belong to.Especially after these two days of getting along, Jin Chuan found that Yu Zhou was much better than he imagined.

Not to mention getting along with the neighbor Uncle Chen's family as if they were relatives, Yu Zhou never underestimated even this strange brother.

Many things that he didn't dare to think about before, seem to be taken for granted with Yu Zhou.

For example, Yu Zhou would wash the dishes after eating. He had never heard of a man who would do such a thing when he had a brother at home.

Also, yesterday he left the chicken for dinner, and when Yu Zhou found out, he asked him if he hadn't eaten in the morning or at noon.

The last time he was cared so much was before his mother died.

Just ask, who wouldn't be tempted to face such a man.

It's just that Jin Chuan never expected that Yu Zhou actually had a marriage contract. After seeing the contents of the paper clearly, he sat by the bed for a long time in a daze. In the end, he didn't even have time to wash the quilt cover, so he could only wash it with cotton wool. Sunshine together for a day.

Thinking of this, Jin Chuan buried his face in the quilt with a wry smile, and couldn't help remembering that his stepmother once said sarcastically, how could good things happen to a person like him.

However, he is not of a complaining character. He still can't fall asleep after lying down in the middle of the night, so he starts to think about what to do next.

Since Yu Zhou has a marriage contract with someone else, he is naturally not a good match for him, so he certainly can't live here for too long.

Living for a long time is not a good thing for him or Yu Zhou.

Thinking of leaving, Jin Chuan felt a feeling of disappointment that he couldn't explain himself, and it wasn't because he had nowhere to go.

He gently kneaded the corner of his inner coat, hidden in it was a jade pendant given to him by his mother, which was the only valuable thing on his body now, if it was pawned, it would be worth at least two taels of silver.

Although this amount of money is not much, it is enough for him to have a place to shelter from wind and rain for a period of time before he can seek other means of livelihood.

As for how his elder brother would live and live in a strange place, he could only take one step at a time.

As for the day of farewell, Jin Chuan selfishly thought, let's wait for Yu Zhou to finish his work for the past few days.

After thinking all night, when he finally made a decision in his heart, it was already midnight.After falling asleep for a while, the rooster at Aunt Chen's house next door started crowing.

Two days ago, after hearing the crowing of this rooster, he got up to boil water and hot food for Yu Zhou, but today he hesitated, but it was only for a moment, and soon he groped and got up again.

Leaving aside those pros and cons, his room and board are all Yu Zhou's now, and Yu Zhou had saved his life before, so he should have repaid him in the first place.

When Yu Zhou got up that day, Jin Chuan was already boiling water by the stove, just like the previous two days.

Remembering last night before going to bed, he decided to comfort Jin Chuan, and asked him why he was in a bad mood, so Yu Zhou touched a small stool and sat down by the stove, trying to be a confidant brother.

As a result, after seeing Jin Chuan's face clearly under the firelight, he couldn't help frowning, "You haven't slept all night?"

"I'm asleep!" Jin Chuan replied immediately, his body trembling almost imperceptibly.

"You look very bad." Yu Zhou remembered that Jin Chuan had been in a bad mood since last night, so he lowered his voice again, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"No," Jin Chuan lowered his eyes, picked up the firewood in the stove with the stick in his hand, did not dare to look into Yu Zhou's eyes, and murmured after a while, "I just had a bad dream. "

With him like this, Yu Zhou doubted whether it was a real nightmare or a fake nightmare, but since he didn't want to say it, Yu Zhou didn't want to ask too much, after all, although they lived together, they didn't get to know each other well enough.

Thinking of his previous experience of being abandoned by his father, Yu Zhou lightly patted Jin Chuan on the shoulder when he got up to wash up and said, "The nightmares are all fake, and the past is over."

"I know." Jin Chuan nodded slowly.

Yu Zhou had to hurry to go to work, so he left after washing up and eating.

Still walking with Chen Shu and Chen Feng.

After leaving the village, he noticed that there seemed to be fewer villagers going to work together on the road than the previous two days. He couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why are there so few people today? Did we get up late?"

"No," Chen Feng rolled his eyes, "Don't you know that Luofengpo only has half a worker at most today? For those who are not active in doing things, when the money was distributed yesterday, the manager told them that they don't need it today. coming."

Yu Zhou shook his head, he really didn't know these things.

Working there for the past two days, he was left behind with Uncle Chen. When they went to collect the money, the villagers had already taken it away. People in the village had contacted it, so they naturally didn't know the news.

But there is only half a day of work for today, Yu Zhou asked a little disappointed: "Didn't you say you can work for three to five days?"

He also thought that he could earn a hundred and eighty yuan, but now he only got forty yuan. Even with today's half-day labor, he didn't know how many catties of rice he could buy.

Chen Feng: "Originally, it can be done for about five days, but it's not yet the season of planting. Everyone has free time. It's easy to pay wages at Luofengpo. Almost all the men from the nearby villages have gone. finished."

Yu Zhou nodded his head, maybe half a day, now he has dozens of coins on him, which is much better than when he just crossed over.

Sure enough, I only worked for half a day that day, and the person in charge at noon asked everyone to stop to eat and collect wages.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and almost everyone took pancakes home, so Yu Zhou and the others followed suit.

But when it was Yu Zhou's turn to receive the money, the person who sent the money glanced at him and asked, "Are you Yu Zhou?"

Yu Zhou nodded.

The man pointed to not far behind, "Guan Wu has something to ask you to go over there and talk about it."

Because of the construction of another courtyard here, the terrain has been leveled, and you can see everything at a glance. Although Yu Zhou was a little puzzled as to why Manager Wu was looking for him, he still greeted Uncle Chen and walked over. .

When he walked up to Guanshi Wu who was doing calculations with his back turned to everyone, Yu Zhou realized that this person was the one who asked him if he knew how to do arithmetic on the first day.

His heart moved, he saluted and said: "Guard Wu, I heard that you have something to do with me?"

Wu Changlin fiddled with the last two beads to the correct position before looking up at Yu Zhou: "You know how to write, right? Copy a page for me to see?"

A certain idea in Yu Zhou's mind became stronger. Looking at the pen and ink on the table, as well as a piece of paper full of words and a piece of blank paper, he nodded and said, "Okay."

In fact, he hasn't written calligraphy for a while, especially when the text to be copied is still in traditional Chinese.

The first few words were written not only slowly, but also not very beautifully.

But after all, the basics are here. After a dozen or so characters, Yu Zhou found the feeling. Not only the speed of copying is faster, but the font is more elegant and beautiful.

Wu Changlin kept staring at Yu Zhou's movements, and after he had copied half a sheet of paper, he raised his hand to signal him to stop, "The handwriting is very good, I wonder if my little friend would like to do the job of copying the book?"

"Copying books?" Yu Zhou asked suspiciously, this is a bit different from what he imagined just now, as expected, time travel in reality is different from novels and TV, he should have realized it earlier.

"Yes," Wu Changlin nodded, "My husband opened a bookshop in the town, and a few books have been selling well recently, but the copyists employed in the shop can't keep up, so I want to ask if you want to do it, and the salary In other words, based on your speed just now, you will definitely earn more than working here."

Yu Zhou was puzzled: "Why me?"

Wu Changlin laughed, "I'm a straightforward person, and I don't like twists and turns. Since you asked, it's okay to tell you."

"If you have studied in the academy for several years, you must know that the books that need someone to copy can only be picture books that are not very popular. There are only so many people who can copy books in a town. With Qiu Wei, almost all scholars are preparing for the next exam, and it is not easy to find someone who is willing to copy books."

There is another important reason that he didn't say, that is, scholars have their own arrogance, but if they are forced to a certain situation, few people would be willing to do the job of copying scripts for bookstores.

The reason why he chose Yu Zhou was also because after two days of observation, he found that this young man was not only upright, but also not as pedantic as most scholars.

What Yu Zhou lacks most now is a way to make money. Now that someone comes to his door on his own initiative, it is naturally his wish.

But he didn't show it, and nodded after a moment of pondering: "I agree."

Wu Changlin nodded: "Okay, then you see that the day after tomorrow you have time to go to the Changning Book Store in the town, tell the staff that I will let you go privately, and they will arrange everything for you."

"Okay," Yu Zhou got up and saluted again, pointing to Uncle Chen who was waiting not far away, "Then I'll go first."

Wu Changlin nodded.

The Chen family's father and son waited until everyone else in the village had left before they brought Yu Zhou back.

Chen Feng didn't wait for him to approach, so he hurried up and asked, "Then what did the person in charge ask you for? Didn't he make things difficult for you?"

"No," Yu Zhou shook his head, "His husband saw a bookshop in the town, and he was looking for someone who copied books recently. He saw that I could write, so he asked me if I would like to copy books."

"That's a good thing." Chen Feng asked with a smile, "Did you agree?"

Yu Zhou nodded: "Yes."

Uncle Chen frowned, and asked after a while, "What book do you want to copy?"

"The script." Yu Zhou replied truthfully.

"This..." Chen Feng opened his mouth. Even though he couldn't read, he had heard from the old scholar in the village that words were not good enough to be put on the stage.

Yu Zhou guessed from what Guanshi Wu said earlier that they couldn't find someone who copied the script. It wasn't because the scholars had to prepare for the scientific examination. At least this wasn't the main reason. Judging from Chen Feng's reaction now, His guess was right.

But he doesn't care about these.

So he patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said: "I heard from the person in charge that copying books can make more money than us working."

Uncle Chen was silent for a long time before he sighed: "It's good if you can think like this..."

Now that he accepted the job, when Yu Zhou returned home, he took out the two books at home, planning to get used to traditional characters first, and then he could read the books faster.

In the end, I don't know if it was because they all contained the word "book", flipping through the pages, he remembered the marriage letter that Uncle Chen mentioned, and without thinking, he dropped the book in his hand and started searching in the room.

After rummaging through the wardrobe and cages, he almost tore down the main house, and finally found the yellowed marriage letter under the pillow.

Seeing that his name was closely related to other people's because of this contract, Yu Zhou felt that the paper was hot, so he hurried out with the marriage certificate, planning to discuss with Aunt Chen how to return the marriage certificate to others, after all He didn't even know which way the door of the girl's house in Zhongshan Bay opened.

Focusing on this matter, when he hurried out of the main room, Yu Zhou accidentally ran into Jin Chuan who was coming in.

Seeing that Jin Chuan was about to fall, he quickly reached out to support him.

Jin Chuan was taken aback by his hurried appearance, and when he stood still, he saw clearly the paper in Yu Zhou's hand, and unconsciously clenched his fists, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Yu Zhou raised the marriage certificate in his hand, and said casually, "I'm going to ask Aunt Chen if I can ask someone to return the marriage certificate."

He was a little worried, if he couldn't ask someone to go back, he had to go there in person, which was really troublesome.
