Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"Okay, in fact, uncle's craftsmanship is not that good." Hu Wei smiled shyly. Since his nephew brought something, he went to heat it up and cut everything. This can be done, and the egg soup is very good. Beat, he used salted eggs, so there is no need to put any salt in the soup.

But before cooking, they went to the ancestral grave in Hujia Village.

The most important thing about going to the grave is to go to the grave to burn paper in the morning, and you will not go to the grave after noon, because the cloudy energy will rise in the afternoon.

A small grave, the old couple was buried together, Ding Tian burned paper, burned the money tree, etc., burned incense, poured wine... After a series of sacrifices, he kowtowed three more times before returning with his uncle.

Ding Mo just followed him to carry things and other things, but he also kowtowed.

After all, we are all relatives.

After a while, the food will be on the table.

Hu Wei worked in the kitchen for a while, and when it was ready, Ding Tian and Ding Mo helped to bring the food to the table.

Ding Mo also sat on the kang, he came to be a coachman, but it was impossible for Ding Tian to let him not eat.

Anyway, they are all relatives, so it makes sense to sit on the kang.

In fact, it was fortunate that Ding Mo was there, otherwise how embarrassing would it be for the uncle and nephew to have nothing to say?

During this period, Ding Tian received a red bomb from his uncle: "The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family has a girl who says she is good-looking and virtuous. If you want to tell me, I agree."

It is a good thing for Hu Wei, who is now lonely, to have an in-law relationship with the village chief's family.

"Uncle is also old enough to say goodbye. Congratulations, uncle. When will we do the business?" Ding Tian pretended to congratulate. In fact, he felt that if he had a wife, his life would be much better.

Otherwise, you can't let others take care of him.

Someone must have cleaned this room and the clothes he was wearing, but it was definitely not my uncle.

"We'll get engaged in two days, we'll have a betrothal gift, and we'll get married in autumn." Hu Wei blushed a little: "At that time, you will come and support uncle."

"Definitely, definitely!" Ding Tian was happy: "We will definitely support uncle well then."

Hu Wei also smiled: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

Halfway through eating, Ding Mo ran to the kitchen and wanted to bring back two dried chili peppers. He wanted to eat burnt chili peppers.

Ding Tian took the opportunity to ask Hu Wei: "Uncle, do you still have money at home?"

"Are you short of money?" Hu Weicai stopped eating: "Uncle still has some here, how much do you want? 100 taels?

"No, no, no!" Ding Tian quickly waved his hands: "I'm afraid you don't have money, but I have money, I have money!"

"Really?" Hu Wei looked at him: "Tian'er, now there are only you and me left in the two families. Although my uncle is not talented, he is still a scholar. In the private school, he has income every year, and there are people in the fields. If you are really in trouble, tell uncle.'

"No embarrassment." Ding Tian said: "I'm afraid that my uncle will marry my aunt. If I don't have enough money, I have some here."

He also saw that this uncle was a prodigal son, so he was so generous.

"I have money here, your money, save it, you are fifteen or sixteen years old, wait for two years, calm down the discussion, and find another marriage."

"I see." Ding Tian nodded, "I have something to tell my uncle."

In fact, it's the same thing if you don't say it, but it's better for uncle to say that than not to say it.

Hu Wei could see that his nephew was not close to him, who was to blame?

When my sister got married back then, he was still young and didn't understand anything. When he grew up, he was spoiled and spoiled. He didn't understand some things until he passed the exam. Now... he can only try not to cause trouble to his nephew.

Ding Mo is back, so this topic will stop here.

Let's talk about some things in the field. Only then did Ding Tian know that his uncle's family has [-] mu of fertile land, which he rents out. He does not farm. Ten acres, pay taxes, but this can also leave a lot.

In addition, in the private school, Shuxiu was an income, and the village returned ten taels of silver every year.

This is all my uncle's income.

But after careful calculation, there is only Hu Wei in this family, how much can he eat?Pen, ink, paper and inkstone cost money, how much can he use?

There is still a lot left throughout the year. If you marry a wife and have two more children, there is no burden at all, and you must live a good life.

"Uncle Ji, you don't want to go on to take the entrance exam, what about juren?" Ding Tian remembered that juren is qualified to be an official.

Although it is not possible to raise a person to be an official, at most the fifth grade, but the official status is always better than the common people.

"I won't take the exam." Unexpectedly, the uncle shook his head: "Do you know how difficult it is to pass the exam? As a scholar, I barely pass the exam, Juren? Then I have to go to school in Fucheng, and I need to be taught by a famous teacher. I need money everywhere. , now that my parents are gone, I am married and have a child, so I have to support my family. Juren really can’t afford it.”

There is another sentence, that is, "can't pass the exam".

He barely passed the exam for a scholar, Juren?It never occurred to him that he was the only one left in the family, so why would he take the exam?Just stay in the village honestly, marry a virtuous woman, have two children, and pass on the incense, that's all.

People who have experienced wars have matured a lot in their thinking.

"If you don't take the exam, the fame of a scholar is enough." Ding Tian actually asked that question, and didn't really want to encourage his uncle to take the exam.

In this day and age, exams are more strenuous than modern college entrance examinations.

It's like thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge.

Modern college entrance examination scores are low, and you can spend some money to go to college as a self-supporting student. In ancient times, if you spend money to try to get a job, the whole family will lose their heads.
