Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Playing until evening, I only had a meal, and then took a decadent walk to digest my food. Because it was too cold outside, I could only stroll around in the house. Fortunately, the three of them were in the main house, a three-story building with a high shelf. And there is a kumquat in the house.

The big kumquat tree with a height of 1.5 meters is covered with kumquats. Xiaoxing has several catalpas in his arms. It is a bit bitter to eat, but Yu Liangji likes it.

"This thing is also called golden jujube, kumquat, and small orange." Yu Liangji pointed to the kumquat and gave a science popularization to the big and the small: "Beauty and skin care, meeting and promoting fluid. It can regulate qi, relieve depression, and reduce phlegm."

"So good?" Shi Hongda ate one and didn't think it was good, so he ate another one, and after another, he smacked his mouth, but he still didn't think it was good.

When he was bored and didn't want to play cards, Yu Liangji taught Xiao Xinghuai to read, and Xiao Xinghuai would be 13 years old after the new year.

"After the new year, prepare well. In autumn, I will take you to take the children's exam." Yu Liangji passed Xiaoxinghuai's exam, feeling that the child has really grown up and knows more things. A child's exam , no problem.

And the child is 13 years old.

In the autumn, I took the Tongsheng Examination, and in the spring of the following year, I took the County Examination. At the age of 14, I was a scholar, and I should, because the original owner was a 13-year-old scholar. He kept filial piety for 27 months. Juren.

This child does not need to keep filial piety, and a 14-year-old scholar is also a young genius. When he is 16 years old, he can pass the examination for juren.

"...and then let him go out to study, and when he is 20 years old, he will be admitted to the Jinshi..." Yu Liangji looked at the night sky outside: "If you pass the Jinshi exam, you should consider marriage."

"Uncle, your plan is too far ahead, let's talk about what to eat for the New Year's Eve dinner first!" Xiao Xinghuai's face was flushed, it's too early for getting married or something?

"Excuse me?" Yu Liangji smiled and patted his head.

Seeing that the children were embarrassed, Shi Hongda took the older one and the younger one back to the house, and brought the butler over, and the four of them played leaf cards.

"I don't know how to do this, don't you want to play?" Xiao Xinghuai didn't want to play.

"In Beijing, what old people play most is not poker, but leaf cards." He Guanjia said: "They prefer to play this kind of old-fashioned things, and poker is usually played by young people. I don’t want to be familiar with the new rules, because that would be very troublesome, so you’d better learn it too, if you don’t want to be proficient, at least you can play.”

Yu Liangji thought for a while: "Let's play!"

Yu Liangji didn't know the rules of leaf cards either, so Guan He taught the two and one small to play leaf cards for a while.

In the evening, firecrackers sounded, and the sky was full of fireworks, accompanied by heavy snow falling.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year!" This is one of the few times in the past few years when it snows heavily.

"Yes, next year will definitely be a good year." Shi Hongda put his arms around his shoulders, watching the fireworks and snowflakes flying all over the sky.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family of three read some books, some newspapers, and Xiaoxing read with gusto with a book in his arms.

Yu Liangji glanced at him, um, a typical liberal arts student!

The child has grown rapidly in the past two years, and now it has reached his shoulders. When he first came here, he was still a small lump, and he spoke in a soft and glutinous voice.

In the first day of junior high school, early in the morning, Xiao Xinghuai was dressed neatly. Yu Liangji and Shi Hongda sat in the main hall. Uncle and Uncle Shi are happy and auspicious in spring, happy and healthy."

"Okay, okay." Yu Liangji quickly handed out the red envelope with a smile on his face. Shi Hongda didn't give any red envelope this year, so he took a small set of bows and arrows!

The half-moon shape of the small bow is made of materials that Yu Liangji doesn't know. He doesn't know how to look at weapons, but he can tell that this small bow is unusual.

"This is an iron wooden crossbow, a pear blossom arrow." Shi Hongda handed the things to Xiao Xinghuai: "It is automatically wound three times, and each time it can shoot up to ten arrows. The longest distance is 300 meters, and the effective distance is 200 meters. The best range is Within a hundred meters."

"How did you give him this?" Yu Liangji thought to himself, how can such a lethal weapon be used as a toy for children?

"He likes it. I've heard him say it several times before the Chinese New Year." Shi Hong laughed and said, "Boys always have a weapon that belongs to them."

Although the thing is small, but Shi Hongda made it according to the size of the real crossbow, and the iron wood used, it took a long time to make this small crossbow, because the iron wood itself is very hard, Carpenters work very hard.

"You are angry, and when you are angry, strike it. The striking force does not increase, but the method of making the crossbow increases. The length of the crossbow's hanging mouth is no more than seven inches, the force is no more than one hundred fifty or sixty catties, and the weight of the crossbow is no more than two coins. Fifty paces, accurate and powerful, far away and difficult to hit. Today's crossbows, if the hanging mouth is nine inches or nine and a half inches to one foot long, and the force is three hundred catties or 350 catties to four hundred catties, the weight of the crossbow arrows is three cents. For four qian, one can hit a hundred steps, and its skill is not inferior to that of a bow. For example, the strength of a bow is forty or fifty catties, and an arrow has five or six qian, why? The power of the shooter is withdrawn, so the arrow can kill the enemy with a hundred steps. However, there are many people who learn bows and arrows in the world, and they may not be able to master them after hundreds of thousands. The skill is also difficult. Therefore, Ruan Zi said "Many people in the world are good at crossbows but clumsy at bows. Bows can't be accurate, so let them do whatever they want. Crossbows have methods and methods, so they are easy to be kind." Shooting can be done in the morning and evening, rain and dew don't matter. An arrow on the string can still kill people within ten steps, but it seems that the bow is not enough. This is the record about the crossbow mentioned in "Wubei Yaolue." Xiao Xinghuai touched it. With the small crossbow and arrows he got, he recited this passage very smoothly.

Did Yu Liangji understand?

This "Army Essentials" has nothing to do with him, and the little guy can memorize it quickly, so he only knows it's about bows and crossbows.

"That's right, but now the crossbows and arrows are all of a unified standard, not as scattered as before, so keep what's given to you. When hunting in autumn this year, hunt hard. I guess your brother-in-law and I can count on a handful of your leathers to make clothes." What!" Shi Hong laughed and patted his little head: "This kind of small crossbow is very useful."

"Yeah!" Nodding fiercely, he will definitely cherish it.

After breakfast, I went back to catch up on sleep. When I was in the second day of junior high school, I started to prepare for going to my grandparents' house.

This year, Xiao Xinghuai also has a gift for his grandparents, which are four pairs of insoles made by him!

The two pairs were given to Yu Liangji and Shi Hongda, and he gave the remaining two pairs to the elders of the Zhang family.

This time I went to Zhangjia Village with ease, and talked with the old man about this year's plan when I arrived at Zhangjia Village.

"The land that has been hit for so long needs to be sterilized." Yu Liangji reminded the old man.

"I plan to plant a crop of spring garlic this year, and then another crop of potatoes." The old man said, "Since there was a pest plague the year before last, people in the village were afraid. Last spring, I also planted a crop of spring garlic, and then I planted something else and everything was fine. In the future, it is estimated that a crop of garlic will be planted every three to five times."

Zhangjia Village can be regarded as gaining wisdom by seeing it, and now it no longer dares to grow vegetables casually. They will do what other villages do. Yu Liangji told them the taboos of planting vegetable sheds without hesitation.

For example, the same species cannot be cultivated continuously, one cannot only know how to fertilize but not disinfect, let alone do not ventilate and so on.

"This is very good. You can't blindly see what is good and just do whatever you want. Don't just follow suit if you don't understand the system." Yu Liangji has a lot of resentment towards Zhang Di. It is said that the reason why those villages planted greenhouses was all at his instigation !

If Zhang Di is a talent, Yu Liangji will definitely not be unhappy. He prefers healthy competition, but Zhang Di is too disappointing for him. It's justifiable for everyone to make a fortune and become rich. This is a battle of spirits!

"Zhang Di is no longer the village head." Mr. Zhang knew what Yu Liangji was angry with Zhang Di for.

"It's better not to be the village chief. What can such a village chief lead us to do?" Yu Liangji was very relieved when he heard it.

"It's not the head of the clan anymore." Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "The village head and the head of the clan will be re-elected, and the election will be held in the ancestral hall on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Zhang Dike made Zhangjiacun miserable, not to mention that everyone didn't make any money, and several of them almost couldn't open the pot!

He finally couldn't bear the pressure years ago, took the blame and resigned!

It doesn't work if you don't resign. People in the village go to his house every day to make trouble. At that time, they agreed to make money, but what happened?

He couldn't clean up the mess, so he had to pretend to be a coward. He took the blame and resigned to avoid the limelight. However, if the latecomer can put Zhangjiacun in order, it is probably nothing to do with him.

From now on, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs.

"Has someone looked for your house?" Shi Hongda suddenly guessed.

"I've looked for it, and I didn't agree to it!" Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and smiled in a cunning manner: "I'm stupid, clean up his mess and wipe his ass? Whoever caused it will go to whomever! "

Being bullied so much back then, I really thought their family had no temper!

"You are wise!" Yu Liangji gave a thumbs up. If the old man becomes the village chief, he will definitely have endless worries.

Shi Hongda looked at the old man thoughtfully.

His intuition told him that the people in Zhangjia Village would definitely not give up this opportunity, and the only ones who could get in touch with the Hou Mansion were Mr. Zhang and his family.

But he can't intervene in Zhangjiacun's affairs, because Zhangjiacun is a village with one surname, and an outsider will immediately be as conspicuous as a white swan entering a flock of black ducks!

After staying at Mr. Zhang's house for two days and one night, they returned to Shibalipu.

The sixth day of the lunar new year is the day when the Hou Mansion treats guests to dinner. As in previous years, the whole village comes, including the children. Yu Liangji likes everyone to be lively.

During the meal, I also discussed with the old village chief: "The potatoes planted last year, the millet planted last year, let's plant spring garlic this year too!"

"If you don't mention it, I want to mention it. The millet planted last year is enough to last for more than a year. It is good for us to plant a crop of spring garlic to kill insects. The insect plague in Zhangjia Village has just passed, and we are also worried about our own land." Grandpa Che took a sip of wine.

The old village chief also nodded: "We have no shortage of food to eat. The field is the most important thing. Planting a crop of garlic is beneficial to the left and right. Even if there is nothing, you can still have peace of mind!"

Although the insect plague in Zhangjia Village happened in the greenhouse, it frightened these honest people.

Farmers all depend on the sky for food, and all kinds of natural disasters are very serious things in their view.

"Zhangjiacun has done too many harmful things, retribution!" Fu Erzhuzi's family castigated Zhangjiacun at that time.

Although the people in Shibalipu have a clear conscience, because they have made money, they are afraid that their luck will be too overwhelming for them. Therefore, everyone cherishes the good days of the past few years, and planting a crop of garlic can also make people feel happy. Everyone agrees with Yu Liangji's proposal for the world to rest and kill bugs.

"Okay then, let's plant a bunch of garlic!" Yu Liangji was so happy, he thought he would have to spend all his time to explain it to the villagers, who knew that everyone would give him such a face.

When we went to the village head's house for dinner the next day, everyone started to sign up to plant garlic. Not all the land was planted with garlic. Some land had been planted last year, but this year they will switch to potatoes because potatoes are highly productive!

Shopkeeper Gu, who came to the Spring Banquet, also said: "If everyone grows garlic, I will be responsible for buying it. It is very good for pickling or selling. Liaodong Mansion is especially in need of it, and there is a shortage of garlic, cabbage and pepper every year. "

Yu Liangji smiled and talked with him about cooperation matters. Liaodong Prefecture, the original Koryo, has been conquered and incorporated into the territory of the country.

Most of the people there are Koreans, and garlic is one of the main ingredients in the kimchi they eat.
