Little husband, he is born with a good life

"Cuck, chuckle..."

Before dawn, the roosters in the village began to crow.Dajing Village was also shrouded in a black gauze, waiting for the sun to rise and lift the gloom.

Going to the town today, Zhou Jinnian got up and dressed, his movements were neat and there was no procrastination.In the past, the Shang Dynasty got up earlier than this time, and as soon as Yinshi passed, it was time to leave the mansion to attend the court.

Before going out, he looked at the people in the water, and Ning Lang huddled under the bathtub again, like a newborn baby, curled up on his side, knowing that he could breathe in water, Zhou Jinnian was not worried .

Going to the small courtyard, Zhou Jinnian carried the bamboo basket on his back, and before going out, he met his father with loose hair.

Lin Jin: "Dad is still getting up late, why don't you have breakfast? Dad will make you a pancake, eat it before you go on your way."

Zhou Jinian is no longer the naive young man. His fathers are still alive and the family lives together. He can always keenly capture the love and care for his son from the words of the elders.

In this life, he will no longer take the care of his relatives for granted, no longer eager to chase fame and wealth, and only want his family to be safe, stable, and well-fed.

Of course, the imperial examination still has to be taken, and the imperial examination is true.

"I brought pancakes, the leftovers from the mountain yesterday are enough to eat." Zhou Jinnian said to his father, "Dad, go to sleep for a while, I will go first, the sun will rise later, and the road will be exhausted."

"Hey, dad will send you to the door." Lin Jin felt relieved, tied his hair in a knot, and followed behind his son, passing by the inner courtyard. The doors of each house were closed, and the family members were still sleeping.

"Father, go back, Ning Lang fell down yesterday."

Lin Jin interrupted: "I'll save it, wait until he wakes up by himself. Go quickly, be careful on the way, and come back early."

After watching Zhou Jinnian go away, Lin Jin closed the courtyard door and went back to the house.Although he didn't go to the field every day, but in this big yard, these old people, he cooks, washes, washes and tidies up the yard, and he is not idle every day.

It's just that all the work is easy to be ignored, but he never stops. His waist is getting more and more sore and tired every day.

Lin Jin sighed, returned to the bed and squinted for a while next to his man.

……

Xie Ning was awakened by a dream. He dreamed that he was playing in the lotus pond. When he wanted to flex his muscles and swim upside down, he found that he couldn't stretch his legs and woke up abruptly.

He was the only one left in the room. He put on his clothes and went to the small yard first. He saw a basket covered with a mattress. He opened it up and found that inside was the August fried rice he picked yesterday.

Farmers like to cover unripe wild fruits with mattresses.

"I guess it will take three to five days to cover it up. There is porridge on the table for you, eat it first."

Xie Ning turned to Lin Jin in a squatting position and shouted, "Father!"

"Hey." Lin Jin responded, and went into the small courtyard to get the wooden basin.

"Father, I will steam dried eggplants for Ji Nian today." Xie Ning followed behind.

"Okay, after you finish your breakfast, Dad will help you."

Xie Ning nodded, thinking that he couldn't see his father with his back turned to him, he said again: "Well, I want eggplant."

After following Lin Jin through the room and going to the inner courtyard, Xie Ning stopped following the door and went back to the small courtyard to wash and drink porridge.

In the morning, the men in charge of the family went to work in the fields, while those who stayed at home were weaving or drying grain.

Xie Ning put on his hat and went to the stove. Lin Jin brought the basket in and sat by the door to peel the corn. "I've washed the eggplants and melons. Why would you think of steaming the dried eggplants?"

"My mother often made it when I was young, and I loved it, so I followed suit."

Xie Ning cut the eggplant in half, took the torch and lit the water to boil, and steamed the eggplant.

When the eggplants and melons were steaming, he moved a small bench to be opposite to his father, and helped peel the bracts and grains together.

"Which party is your mother from?" Lin Jin kept moving his hands, chatting with his son-in-law.

Xie Ning replied obediently: "People from Ganfen, the famine has followed the villagers all the way to this place."

"Famine? That's been a long time ago. Then your mother suffered a lot when she was a child." The information was blocked, and Lin Jin himself had vaguely heard about the famine in other places.

"My mother said that she was very hungry. She ate everything, and she changed her ways to fill her stomach with very little food."

Xie Ning only remembered that when he was very young, he sat on his mother's lap and listened to his mother telling him about those hungry things, telling him to cherish food.

The dried corn is very hard, but it is easy to peel. During the period, Grandma Zhou went into the kitchen to get something, saw Xie Ning, and leaned over to stare at Xie Ning's hand.

Xie Ning withdrew his hand, not daring to peel the corn again.Grandma Zhou said "don't let him peel it off" and left with her things.

Lin Jin comforted: "It's okay, I think it's clean. In the afternoon, you follow me to beat corn grits, and you come back tomorrow and bring some back."

People in the countryside like to send food, it's true.

"Okay, thank you dad." Xie Ning stood up, "I'll go see if the steamed eggplant is soft."

The eggplants had turned dark brown. Xie Ning picked them up one by one, cut the sections of the eggplants with a knife, and spread them one by one on the clean dustpan.

There is a bamboo pole rack in the yard, and two dustpans covered with eggplants and melons are put on it, and they are only left to dry for a day, and then processed tomorrow.

After peeling corn with his father all morning, Lin Jin and Lin Guihua occupied the kitchen to cook lunch at noon, Xie Ning quickly slipped back to his room and stayed in the water.

Before going out in the afternoon, he had to drink enough water for his body.

…………

As for Zhou Jinnian, he walked up to the town for an hour.There were red marks on both shoulders from being strangled by bamboo baskets, and he sweated again, and the sweat soaked into the wound, tired and painful. After all, he was young, with thin skin and tender flesh.

The first thing to do is to go to the pharmacy and exchange the fresh schisandra and the dried Smilax cocos at home for silver taels.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy saw that the schisandra he carried was fresh and of high quality, and the fresh pharmacy handled it more professionally, which could better retain the properties of the medicine.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is a kind person, and he didn't lower the price, and accepted everything according to the market price.I got a total of 360 articles, which is also an income.

Zhou Jinnian thanked the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and rushed to the bookstore with an empty bamboo basket in the bustling Qingshui Town.

There are many shops in Qingshui Town, and it is just in time for the summer harvest. There are still many vendors selling vegetables in baskets on the street, all of which are freshly harvested from the fields.

Zhou Jinnian was dressed in a black gown, with long hair tied in a crown, and his overhanging appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by.Without squinting his eyes, he walked through the streets and alleys, and then crossed a small arch bridge, which is the bookstore shopping street where scholars often go.

When you go down the book street, almost all of them are in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone business. There are a few teahouses in between, and a few storytellers are hired to sell tea and water, and collect a lot of money.

Zhou Jinnian went to the Zhang Wenshu shop that he often went to. The shopkeeper Zhang had an impression of him. He often came to buy paper and ink, and his facial features were handsome.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, is it mulberry paper? How much does it cost?"

Zhou Jinian nodded his head to shopkeeper Zhang, "Treasurer Zhang is well. I'm not busy. I'm here today to ask, does shopkeeper Zhang have copying work?"

"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated, "It's just that you will take the exam in the spring of next year, and you may delay your studies."

"It's okay, the students are sure." Zhou Jinian looked calm and confident.

"Well, the old rules, you buy the paper yourself, I'll give you the pen and ink, and I'll see if you write a few words."

"First, I need a knife of mulberry paper."

Paper is expensive, and there are often scholars who do the work of copying books beyond their means. As a result, the handwriting is not neat enough, which wastes the paper of the bookstore. After one month, it loses a lot of money. The bookstore stipulates that copyists bring their own paper.

Mulberry paper is the most commonly used type of paper among the people. The paper is thick and rough, but the price is the lowest.

Zhou Jinnian went into the room with shopkeeper Zhang, and shopkeeper Zhang took the most popular storybook, and opened a designated page for Zhou Jinian to copy.

"You copy this page, come out and call me when you're done." Shopkeeper Zhang went to the shop after finishing speaking.

Zhou Jinnian grinded it by himself, moved his wrist, and then calmed down and began to copy.After all, Zhou Jinnian did not have the wrist strength he had trained in his previous life. Zhou Jinnian slowed down, stroke by stroke, trying to stabilize his strength.

After copying, Zhou Jinnian picked up the paper to dry the ink marks, then took it to the shop and handed it to shopkeeper Zhang.

"Yo!" Shopkeeper Zhang exclaimed, the font on the paper is square, with gold hooks and iron strokes, the overall visual effect is graceful and majestic, and if you look carefully, you can see some arrogance between the lines.

"Good writing!" Shopkeeper Zhang's face was full of satisfaction, "It's a pity that this writing has been transcribed into a script. I have "Quan Qing Poems" in seven volumes, with five hundred characters in one volume. How about it?"

"How much is the bet?" Zhou Jinian only cared about this.

Shopkeeper Zhang rubbed his chin. "Quan Qing Shi" is a must-buy book for rich scholars, and it is only for sale and not for rent.It collects the works of famous poets from all over Daqing, and sells seven volumes for 14 taels of silver.

"In this way, if you are not afraid of the trouble of walking, one roll at a time, the deposit is two taels, I will pay the paper, and use white mulberry paper. How about it?"

Those who copy books buy their own paper, and the bookstore will inspect it after it is finished. If a few sheets are unqualified, the paper will be discarded, and the loss will be counted as the copyist, and they will have to buy another paper to copy and make up.

Although copying books can make money, but the threshold is high, and it is troublesome. It hurts the eyes and wastes the hands. Scholars who are bent on obtaining fame and fame will not earn this hard money.

Zhou Jinian quickly calculated in his mind, "Okay, then thank the shopkeeper Zhang."

"You're welcome, I'll get you books and paper."

Zhou Jinnian took out his purse to count the money and paid the deposit, which meant that he would have no money left to buy dragon beard candy for Ning Lang, and he would bring Ning Lang back home tomorrow.

Thinking of Ning Lang's eyes crooked and mouth raised when he mentioned Dragon Beard Candy, Zhou Ji Nian felt a little uncomfortable.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, is there any urgent need to copy books? I will use the expensive land, and I will finish the copy before dusk, and the cost of pen and ink will be deducted from the copy money." Zhou Jinian explained generously, "I got married a few days ago, and I will be married tomorrow. It's the day when my husband returns home, and I need some money to buy a gift. Shopkeeper Zhang, can you be accommodating?"

"You do love people." Shopkeeper Zhang smiled twice, "Then there's nothing wrong with it, just go inside and wait, I'll arrange it for you."

…………

Xie Ning soaked in the water until noon before being called out to eat by his father.

Lunch is steamed buns with salty pickles, and porridge is all rice soup.

Lin Jin picked up a steamed bun and opened it in the middle, brushed a layer of soybean salty sauce in the middle, first handed it to her husband Zhou Feng, and then handed another one to Xie Ning in the same way.

"Let's eat, beat out the glutinous rice grits in the afternoon, and cook porridge tomorrow morning, unlike today's soup." Lin Jin finally took a bun for himself, and took a bite.

Compared with other farmers, the Zhou family can eat every meal, which is already considered good in the village.

Xie Ning opened his mouth wide and took a bite. Lin Jin did a lot of housework, and was willing to put in the effort to knead the noodles, and the steamed buns were very chewy.

"It's delicious, it tastes really good to chew." Xie Ning praised, and then said, "When will the lonely year come back? I miss him..." Xie Ning stopped talking about the dragon beard candy he bought, and he didn't have the nerve to say the next word.

Lin Jin was stunned for a moment, thinking that this child is really not ashamed, so clingy, even in front of his elders.He glanced sideways at his husband Zhang Sanfeng, and both husband and wife had smiles in their eyes.

"I'm probably in the bookstore right now, and when the sun isn't so hot, he'll go back." Lin Jin stared at the pickle bowl, not at Xie Ning, afraid that the child would be embarrassed.

After the family finished eating, Xie Ning put on the bamboo hat, stepped on the water bag, and followed Lin Jin to push the cart. On the cart was a basket of corn.

All the way to the big stone mill house in the village, Lin Jin went to get the keys from the village chief, and Xie Ning was drinking water from the water bag.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that he pushed the cart all the way humming, but he didn't feel as uncomfortable as yesterday when picking medicine!It seems that as long as he sleeps in the water every night and soaks in the water at noon, his body can work like a normal person!
