The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life

From their conversation, Li Jin learned that this Mr. Chen Xiran was the only one who moved to the Chen Mansion in Naxin.

Moreover, judging from Mr. Song's expectations for Chen Xiran, he actually hopes that he can work hard and pass the examination of scholar in February next year!

Li Jin didn't treat him with contempt, but he didn't take him too seriously, and only regarded him as a passerby who met by chance.

Hearing Mr. Song's words, he was a little surprised in his heart. This Mr. Chen looked about the same age as him, and he didn't like studying...

In the end what to take to test for talent?

But since Mr. Song has said so, this person must have something special.

After reprimanding Chen Xiran, Mr. Song turned to Li Jin.

He introduced the two of them: "You will all take part in the children's examination in February next year, and now you can also get to know each other, and you can be regarded as classmates."

Mr. Song introduced Li Jin first, and said: "This is Li Jin, who is serious, hardworking, and knowledgeable."

After a pause, he said, "This is Chen Xiran. This kid has a great memory. He is a good student for studying, but he likes to be lazy."

Li Jin's clear eyes fell on Chen Xiran, and said, "Brother Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Xiran said: "Let's not be bureaucratic, we met once in the morning. My name is Chen Xiran. After class, I invite you to eat delicious food at Baishifang."

Li Jin: "..."

Mr. Song said with hatred on his face, "His father was in the army before, and he has a rough appearance. He has studied for so many years, and he doesn't know how to write the word temperament and elegance, but he still has to take the imperial examination. .”

Li Jin smiled and said, "Brother Chen has a bright personality, which I admire."

Mr. Song then tortured Li Jin about what he learned in the morning, and explained everything he didn't understand carefully.

Chen Xiran was also listening at the side, it seemed that as long as he didn't need to write, he could devote himself to it.

Finally, Mr. Song asked the two of them to repeat what he had just said.

Because Li Jin had transcribed the notes before, and Mr. Song's speech was really good, he repeated it very fluently without any stumbles.

Chen Xiran looked at Li Jin in surprise, but before he could say anything, Mr. Song looked over.

Chen Xiran straightened his spine and repeated what Mr. Song just said.

Although there was a pause, Li Jin was really surprised. After all, Chen Xiran hadn't copied the "Sacred Enlightenment" so many times like him, and even recited it in its entirety.

Mr. Song was very satisfied with the two of them. He took out a scripture and handed it to Li Jin, "You take this back and copy it, and I will explain it to you tomorrow."

As for why Li Jin had to copy all the books first, it was because Mr. Song also knew that Li Jin probably didn't have the money to buy books.

After copying it, it was convenient for Li Jin to take notes and review before the exam.

When Mr. Song was poor, that was the only way he survived.

He was very considerate of Li Jin's situation. He was afraid that Li Jin's intentions would be wrong, so he asked Li Jin to copy books.

Now that he knew Li Jin better, he simply lent the book to Li Jin to copy.

Afterwards, Mr. Song dismissed the two of them from class. Chen Xiran looked at half of the blank paper in Li Jin's back basket in the morning, but now it was full of writing.

I was very impressed and insisted on dragging Li Jin to Baishi Fang for dinner.

"I treat you, Brother Li, you don't have to be polite."

Li Jin said: "To be honest, my husband just gave birth, and there is only him and the child at home. I am really worried."

Chen Xiran was even more surprised now: "You not only have a husband, but also a child?"

Li Jin didn't intend to hide anything, so he naturally replied, "Yes."

Then Chen Xiran asked Li Jin to compare his age. Li Jin thought, fortunately, he had seen the original owner's teacher's name card in the house, which wrote the original owner's birth date, the number of people in his family and his address.

After hearing this, Chen Xiran covered his face: "Li Xiandi, I'm one year older than you..."

Li Jin's body is eighteen this year, and Chen Xiran is nineteen.

Li Jin thought, I am ten years older than you.

It's a pity that this can't be said.

Chen Xiran said: "My father said that if I don't pass the examination of a scholar, I won't be able to marry a wife. I really envy you, Brother Li Xian."

Li Jin said: "Then congratulate Brother Chen for being named on the gold list for the childbirth test."

Chen Xiran felt very nervous.

Originally, he thought that with his ingenuity, it would not be a simple matter to pass the child's entrance examination.

But after seeing Li Jin this time, he realized that this person was not inferior to him at all, and that Li Jin had worked harder than him.

People who are better than you work harder than you, and this world makes it difficult for people to live.

Chen Xiran thought, if anyone of the two could pass the exam, it would naturally be Li Jin.

Chen Xiran said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Song's lecture on "Sacred Enlightenment and Guangxun" today was taught by a scholar from our place before I moved, so I can answer Mr. Song's question today.

On the contrary, Brother Li Xian answered the questions fluently today, I really admire him. "

The two talked for a while, and agreed to have a meal together on Mu Xiu's next day, before Chen Xiran said goodbye to Li Jin.

Walking on the road, Li Jin gnawed on his own potatoes and thought, it would be nice to have a companion in studies.

Chen Xiran's aptitude is good, and he has learned from other scholars before. With him by his side, he has a better reference point.

The two compete with each other to make continuous progress.

After Li Jin went back, he gave the 24 papers to the boy.

The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled happily. In front of Li Jin, he put the money into the small hole in the bed, and then spread out the mattress so that nothing could be seen.

After putting away the money, Qin Muwen said to Li Jin, "Ah Jin, can you buy some cloth tomorrow, and I'll make clothes for you."

Now the family has more than 100 Wen in savings, not to mention buying a piece of cloth, just need to tear some cloth, enough to make clothes.

Those who buy cloth by piece are all rich families.

Li Jin almost forgot to make clothes.

He now only has two sets of robes that he wears to study, and he washes and changes them back and forth.

There are quite a few shorts of coarse cloth, but they are all made of coarse linen, and they hurt my arms and shoulders when I work.

Thinking of this, Li Jin felt that the swelling on his shoulders hadn't subsided when he was pulling a shelf cart.

But in fact, he often walked for more than an hour with his back on his back, and he couldn't feel the pain in his shoulders at the end.

It is when I take a break from doing farm work that I feel the throbbing pain in my shoulder.

Li Jin also knew that this body was too thin and tender, and he had to go through this step if he wanted to change from a young master who had never done farm work to a man who took on the important responsibilities of supporting his family.

Anyway, he was never a hypocritical person.

The sun is still very bright outside now, but not as hot as it was at noon.

Li Jin was copying scriptures on the locker, and the boy went to the kitchen to cook some mung bean porridge to cool off the heat and hang it in the well to freeze.

The young man is not healthy yet, so he can't eat cold food, this is for Li Jinbing.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of Li Jin's house. It turned out that Li Dahe's two sons came in carrying a case.

Li Jin hurriedly opened the door wide so that they could put the case table in the yard.

Li Dahe's eldest son is twenty-five this year, and there are three children in his family.

As soon as he saw Li Jin, he smiled and said, "The youngest child in my family ate your braised pork yesterday. After my father heard about it, he quickly settled the case for you. And let me tell you, It's not easy at home now, don't pay attention to these muddy children."

Li Jin smiled and said, "Each child only got one piece, enough for my family."

The man continued: "Li Daniu used to brag that it is easy for scholars to make money, but in my opinion, it is not easy to work hard like us dealers, but it is not easy at all.

Every profession has its own difficulties, so we shouldn't be greedy for your family's cheap. "

The people in the village are too honest, Li Jin really has nothing to do with them.

The two brothers moved the desk to the back room for Li Jin, and Gang Kaoka was on the other side of the bed, near the window.

The boy served mung bean soup for the two of them, and mixed wild vegetables deftly.

Li Jin greeted them in the kitchen, and the young man went to get the balance of [-] Wen, stringed it up and handed it to them.

It is a village rule that after someone has made new furniture, the host invites the mover to drink a bowl of soup as a token of gratitude.

After all, it is much cheaper for the villagers to make things for the villagers than in the town, and it is basically a hard work.

The two brothers finished eating and left with the money.

Li Jin cleaned up the remaining dishes and chopsticks by himself, and he let the young man sit on the bed: "You can't be so tired after giving birth, otherwise how will you have a second child in the future?"

The young man originally wanted to finish the housework, but when he heard the second half of Li Jin's sentence, he became wilted.

He still wanted to have another child, so he didn't dare to mess around again this time.

Li Jin tidied up the kitchen, then swept out the dust from the moving table when it came in, and finally put his books and papers on the table.

Standing in front of the window, the sun shines in from the oil-papered window, and Li Jin's eyes are bright.

He couldn't help feeling something in his heart, and thought of a few lines of poetry——

"Third watch lights and five watch chickens are the time for boys to study. Black hair doesn't know how to study early, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying late." [Note]

It wasn't until this moment that Li Jin realized that his previous study had put the cart before the horse.

The ultimate goal of his reading should be to enrich himself.

As for imperial examinations and scholars, these fame and fortune can only prove that he has achieved results in his recent studies.

However, Li Jin thought about it again, he was just a layman.

It is precisely because taking the examination of a scholar can improve his reputation, protect his family, and live a good life, so he takes these as his goals, and he cannot be said to be wrong.

Li Jin copied half of the book, drank a bowl of mung bean porridge, and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of dried noodles for the boy, with a poached egg on top.

He said: "I will continue to grow vegetables, and I will go to bed when I am tired after eating. I will leave the bowl here and I will come back to clean it, you know?"

The young man nodded obediently. He had also heard in the Shangshu Mansion that his aunt had to rest after giving birth, but he foolishly thought it was a sign of coquettishness. In order not to let Li Jin dislike him, he never dared to slack off.

It turns out... After giving birth, I really need to rest more.

The boy nodded obediently, he thought, if he doesn't feel sleepy for a while, he will wash the dishes.It is not tiring to wash only one bowl.

Today, Li Jin not only had to plant new rapeseeds, but also had to water the field that was planted yesterday, so in the end until it got dark, only half of the vegetable field was planted yesterday.

He thought that he would have to pick up a few buckets of water tomorrow, otherwise the vegetable field would have to be planted for several days.
