Farming and teaching across different worlds

Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen got ready to go to Dashi Village early.Ji Xiuran heard that after the eldest baby was born, there was no milk to eat, so he brought a ewe when he went this time, so that the baby wouldn't have to drink rice soup every day and scream from hunger.

After the two left, Ji's father knocked on his pipe and saw someone else's family having a baby. He felt regretful in his heart, and there was a hint of regret on his face, and he sighed unconsciously. Seeing him like this, Ji's mother scolded: "You Old man, what’s the matter again, what are you doing sighing, sighing the good fortune of my youngest son, see if I don’t settle accounts with you.”

Ji's father didn't react to Ji's mother's words, but still looked at the yard outside with regret.

Mother Ji was surprised in her heart. If she said this about him normally, the old man would have jumped up to refute him a long time ago. Why didn’t he respond this time? Ask: "What's the matter with you, why this face? What happened."

"Hey, it's nothing, I just feel sorry for Xiuran and Erniu. Both of them are rare good boys, but they are both destined not to have their own children. It is inevitable that they will regret it." Mother Ji thought it was something, It turned out that this time I heard that it was a child's full moon wine, and I was stimulated. "Don't be silly here. I think Yao'er and Erniu are doing well now. They have a good relationship and their days are getting better and better. Whether they have a biological child is not important to them, as long as they don't have any regrets in their hearts." Now, don't worry about it like this."

"That's true, it's just that people like to worry when they're old." Father Ji said while smoking a cigarette silently, still looking pretty. "Don't talk nonsense in front of the youngest, our youngest is very thoughtful, and he will be unhappy if you say it." Mother Ji confessed to her old man. Although she also wanted her youngest to have a queen, she did everything on her own. The premise of Yao'er's health is that if the price of Yao'er's health is to be unprecedented, then he, the mother, will also recognize it.

"In the future, if there is a suitable one for Yao'er to adopt, it will be fine." Ji's mother was very happy to see it, and she didn't care if it was her own. "I'm afraid, Xiuran will not do such a thing of cutting off kinship and taking away children." Father Ji knew his son very well, and the method of adoption probably wouldn't work.

"Even if you don't succeed, so what, with so many nephews and nieces, can you really ignore them when your son is old?" Ji's mother is very open, even if her own children are not filial, there are many people who are not filial, you have no choice. Who can say what will happen next. "Then we usually talk to Daqing and the others, and when we grow up, we should take care of our uncle more." Father Ji thought while smoking a cigarette. It's all good, and he will definitely listen to what he has to say.

While talking, Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen had already arrived in Dashi Village, and they didn't know that their parents were really worried about their future pension.

When the two arrived at Shi's house, some people had already arrived in the yard, and they were sitting at the table in the yard drinking water and chatting. Seeing Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen, they all stood up to greet them.Ji Xiuran is the only young scholar in the nearby village, and everyone in Dashi Village basically knows his name.And what happened between him and Shi Jingchen was well known to everyone.

After exchanging a few words with everyone, they went to see Father Shi in the house. Today is a day of great joy, and Father Shi also changed his previous sick appearance, and his face became more joyful.After seeing Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen coming in, he happily sat up and talked to them.

At this time, Mother Shi and the younger brothers had already brought in the gifts brought by Ji Xiuran and put them away, and the ewe was temporarily tied to the yard next to it. There was no barn in the yard. When this sheep was found, it was temporarily tied to the newly opened yard next to it for the marriage of several brothers.

The people in the courtyard saw Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen bringing gifts in large and small packages, as well as a ewe, and they all began to discuss, "Old Shi's family, you are lucky, look at what Shi Erniu and his wife bring every time they come here." The gift is so thick, the meat alone weighs twenty catties, enough to feed their family for a month."

"Yes, the Shi family brothers worked for the Ji family before, and the wages were several hundred yuan per person per month, which is even more than going to a rich family in the county to make money."

"There is also the greenhouse built by their family. Now they start selling vegetables and earn a lot of money."

"Who says it's not? The old Shi's family was the poorest in our village in the past, but who doesn't envy them now." As they spoke, the aunts all showed envious expressions.

Some families began to regret it. When the Ji family came to Dashi Village to find a child with a horoscope, they never thought of letting their child go. They also have a child who is the same age as Shi Jingchen. "Don't stand here and talk without pain in your back. Whoever said that the old Shi's family bought a son for glory? I forgot the sarcastic remarks I said." Aunt Shi, who has always had a good relationship with the Shi family, saw these people talking more and more. Going down the road, he opened his mouth to interrupt these people's delusions.

When these people heard Aunt Shi's words, they all stopped in resentment.

Before the banquet, Ji Xiuran saw the protagonist of this time, Shi Dawa, a small ball, although not very round, but his eyes are bright, very energetic, his hands are clenched into fists, waving, looking He is very energetic, looks very healthy, and his facial features look like those of the Shi family. He should be a handsome young man when he grows up.

Ji Xiuran put the silver longevity lock prepared by himself and Shi Jingchen around the neck of the eldest child.The eldest baby waved Ji Xiuran's hand unconsciously, and Ji Xiuran looked at the eldest baby and laughed.

Seeing Ji Xiuran like this, Shi Jingchen's eyes darkened. It is impossible for the two of them to have their own children in this lifetime.But he will love Xiuran more and will not make him feel regretful. Thinking of this, Shi Jingchen squeezed Ji Xiuran's hand tightly. After Ji Xiuran felt it, he looked back at Shi Jingchen and said to him: "Look at the big boy, is it right?" He's looking at us, he's so good." Shi Jingchen looked at the big baby, and smiled infected by the baby's innocent smile, the baby who had just been one month old can't see anything yet, the big baby just put his eyes right here That's all, but he didn't intend to tell Xiuran the truth.

After eating, while it was still dark, the two of them hurried back without stopping. On the way home, Shi Jingchen asked Ji Xiuran, "Xiu Ran, you like children."

Ji Xiuran was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Shi Jingchen had misunderstood his attitude towards the eldest child today. "I don't like children. When I saw a big baby today, I felt that he grew up a bit like you, and I felt happy." Ji Xiuran moved his body, knelt on the bullock cart, straightened his waist, and hugged Shi Jingchen from behind, earnestly said.

"Third Brother, I just want to be with you, and I don't care if I have children. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can adopt an orphan who has no father or mother. What do you think?" Ji Xiuran asked Shi Jingchen seriously, Shi Jingchen looked at Ji Xiuran Seriously replied: "Well, it's just the two of us, no children."

On the issue of the child, the two reached a consensus.

Chapter 53

Ji Xiuran still focuses on his studies, and with the help of the book of memory, he also has a set of learning methods. When he studies, he devotes himself wholeheartedly, and the effect of two hours of serious study can be equal to that of others in a day. results.So Ji Xiuran is very serious when studying, and his learning results are gratifying, especially in the view of the husband, in this short period of one year, Ji Xiuran has achieved remarkable results in art making and theory.

Ji Xiuran's progress is obvious. My husband is very satisfied with his progress every time I read his articles. During this period of time, Ji Xiuran has started to focus on practicing the words and sentences when writing articles, and his articles have also begun to make great breakthroughs , although his previous articles were able to break through the topic accurately, and his subsequent expositions were also meaningful, but the problem was that the words were too simple, and some examiners did not like this style. What he needs to do now is to break through his own Shortcomings, the pursuit of writing your own articles as perfect as possible.Grind the details, write the article well and write it beautifully.

While Ji Xiuran was striving for perfection, the laboratory also achieved remarkable results.

In the laboratory, several people from Zhao Shan were asked to try firing lime and bricks. Recently, new progress has been made. They have determined the formula of bricks and tiles. The bricks made of these materials can be fired at high temperature. It is made of red bricks, but it may be difficult to control the temperature of the furnace. Basically, five furnaces can be fired into one furnace, which wastes a lot of time and money, but few people have no idea how to control the temperature of the furnace.

Even if he has not completely overcome all the difficulties and achieved the final success, Ji Xiuran is already very satisfied with such results.

But Ji Xiuran can't do anything about the problems they are encountering now. Now they are all using earthen stoves, and there is no way to intuitively control the temperature inside the stove. Find a good way.This look really made him find something useful. He had watched a documentary about a master studying ancient porcelain firing. At that time, the master found a method. This method can be used in this place. A special kind of mud is used to make the temperature-measuring pile. When different temperatures are felt, the temperature-measuring pile will bend in different degrees.

The temperature in the furnace can be known by looking at the bending degree of the temperature-measuring pile. In this way, the temperature in the furnace can be accurately grasped.Ji Xiuran told a few people about this method and developed their ideas. Even if he couldn't find a way to make a temperature measuring pile,
