Farming and teaching across different worlds

, but have no clue.

To be honest, he wanted to continue the imperial examination, but his current situation did not allow it.

He didn't have so much money to support himself to continue the imperial examination.

And he didn't want to drag the Ji family down because of his studies.

After all, he is not the real original owner, and he cannot enjoy the selfless dedication of the Ji family with peace of mind like the original owner.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and replied, "Sir, the students haven't figured out what to do yet."

After hearing his answer, the gentleman asked with some surprise: "Aren't you going to continue the scientific examination?"

Ji Xiuran thought about it, and said honestly: "The cost of studying is quite high, and the family can't afford it. The student doesn't want to increase the burden on the family. But the teacher can rest assured that even if the imperial examination is not continued, the student will not give up studying."

Hearing what he said, the gentleman said naturally: "You don't need to worry about these things. If you lack money, you can get it from me."

Although the husband is not very rich, but the money to support Ji Xiuran's imperial examination is still available, so he naturally proposed this solution.

How could Ji Xiuran accept the gift from Mr. Dang even refused: "Sir, how can students use your money? Please rest assured, Mr. I will continue the scientific examination after I find a way to make money."

Seeing that he was so persistent, the master couldn't say anything more, so he had to confess: "Well, the old man is not reluctant, but you must not waste your studies during this time."

Ji Xiuran replied solemnly: "Don't worry sir, the students will definitely remember your teachings."

Seeing his answer, the master nodded in satisfaction and said, "Take these books back and study them carefully. If there is anything you don't understand, come to me."

Ji Xiuran naturally agreed, and then the two talked in the study for a while, and after the teacher's wife was ready to eat, she called them over and they came out of the study.

After Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen had dinner at the husband's house, they left, went to the car dealership to rent an ox cart, brought their own things, and rode to Qingshan Village in the ox cart.

Chapter 6 (Revised)

Ji Xiuran sat in the bullock cart with a relaxed expression, feeling the gentle wind blowing in front of him, and casually chatted with Shi Jingchen.

Shi Jingchen sat in front with a blank expression, and replied to this man without saying a word, completely perfunctory him.

But Ji Xiuran looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides, felt the rare leisure, and was in a good mood, he didn't care about Shi Jingchen's attitude at all, and he was talking cheerfully by himself.

The ox cart drove slowly through the village and fields, and it took two hours to reach the Wenshui River outside Qingshan Village.

Ji Xiuran couldn't help but look up.

The green hills in the distance, the trees are luxuriant, and the dense mist surrounds the hills from a distance, like a fairyland.

The Wenshui River flows around, as if a bright green ribbon has been tied to the green hills.

Ji Xiuran felt the breeze blowing in front of him, looked at the beautiful scenery in his eyes, and unconsciously showed a pleasant smile on his face.

But then thinking of the poor life of the villagers living in Qingshan Village on the opposite bank, he couldn't help but restrain his smile again.

Qingshan Village is backed by Daqing Mountain, which is [-] miles away, and is close to Wenshui River. It stands to reason that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and life should be good.

But unfortunately, this is not the case. The vegetation in Daqing Mountain is dense and dangerous. Only those experienced hunters dare to go in to make a living, and ordinary villagers dare not go too deep.

And the Wenshui River in front of them completely blocked the way in and out of their village, making it very inconvenient to come and go.

They usually rely on a black awning boat to travel between the two sides of the strait, and this small boat can be transported in, but the cargo is not at all.

As a result, things from their village cannot be transported out, and things from outside cannot be transported in.

It is not completely impossible to transport goods abroad. There are two more troublesome ways, one is to go to Lijiazhuang, which is ten miles away.

Although this Lijiazhuang is also close to the Wenshui River, the river there is gentle, and the deepest part is only more than three meters. Almost every family in their village has their own wooden rafts to catch fish and shrimp, and by the way, they can transport some large household items.

Their village relies on these to earn some money. In this way, the standard of living in their village is obviously better than that of other villages.

The other is to walk fifty miles down the mountain road to the downstream town of Dukou.

The Wenshui River stretches fifty miles down from Qingshan Village and will flow into the Yonghe River, the most important waterway connecting East and West for water transport in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Ferry Town is one of the ferries on this river. It was originally named Qinglu Town. Since the ferry was established here, it has gradually been called Ferry Town.

This Dukou Town is as prosperous as Qingyang County, and it is very cost-effective to go there to buy and sell goods, but the fifty-mile mountain road is really not easy to walk.

Generally speaking, Qingshan Village is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but because of inconvenient transportation, it has always been poor.

Ji Xiuran stood on the shore and thought for a while, then he sighed secretly in his heart.

If possible, he would like to improve the current situation of Qingshan Village.

Speaking of which, the reason why the original owner wanted to keep taking the imperial examinations was because he wanted to be a scholar, stand out, and honor his ancestors, and another reason was to improve the lives of his family and the villagers by the way.

Speaking of which, he was able to enter school smoothly, and the village also helped him a lot, and he always remembered it in his heart.

Ji Xiuran felt the original owner's gratitude to the villagers in his memory, and silently promised in his heart: I will do it for you.

While Ji Xiuran was sighing at the scenery in the distance, Shi Jingchen had already removed everything from the bullock cart and sent the bullock cart away.

Looking up at Ji Xiuran, who looked at the side with a serious face and looked into the distance, his whole body was inexplicably desolate, his eyes were slightly complicated, and after he calmed down his emotions, he calmly said, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the things on the ground and walked to the bank of Wenshui.

When Ji Xiuran heard what he said, he didn't care about anything else, he hurriedly followed him, walked forward, and said to Shi Jingchen, who had a big bag and a small bag, "I'll help you get some."

The inexplicable breath just now was completely gone.

Although Shi Jingchen didn't turn his head to pay attention to him, but hearing his voice and knowing that this person had returned to normal, he felt inexplicably relieved.

When the two came to the Wenshui River, Uncle Liu who happened to be watching was waiting on the bank.

Before Ji Xiuran was selected as a scholar, he was sent back to the village first.

Since getting the news, the Ji family has sent someone to wait for him on the other side of the river every day, and Uncle Liu, who is in charge of the ferry, is also guarding this side of the river every day, so that they don't have to wait here when they come back.

When the two walked to the river, Uncle Liu greeted him from a distance, and said with a smile on his face, "Xiu Ran, you guys are back, and I'll help you get your things."

Ji Xiuran didn't hold anything, although Shi Jingchen had a lot of things, but he could handle it completely.

The two refused: "Uncle Liu, there are not many things, so you don't need to work hard."

Uncle Liu saw that they refused, so he didn't force him anymore, and said with a smile: "Xiu Ran passed the exam this time and became a scholar. He is really the face of our Qingshan Village Chief. There are also scholars in our village."

After hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran replied with a smile: "Thanks to everyone for taking care of me."

Shi Jingchen had already boarded the boat at this time, put his things away, turned around, handed him over, and wanted to pull him onto the boat.

Hearing his words, she took a deep look at him.

After hearing Ji Xiuran's words, Uncle Liu laughed a few times, and praised: "Mr. Xiucai is different, and what he said is nice."

At this time, Ji Xiuran was grabbing Shi Jingchen's hand and boarded the boat. When he heard Uncle Liu's words, he couldn't help but staggered. He couldn't refute what he said.

Shi Jingchen raised his hand to support him, and said calmly, "Stand carefully."

Only then did Ji Xiuran regain his composure, carefully stood next to Shi Jingchen, and didn't say anything to Uncle Liu again.

Uncle Liu watched the interaction between the two, smiled, didn't speak any more, pushed the boat away, and rowed to the other side

After a while, the boat docked, and Ji's elder brother rushed up to meet him, who happened to be waiting here today.

A few children were also joining in the fun before, but now he sent them home to deliver letters.

When the boat stopped, Shi Jingchen sent Ji Xiuran ashore. Ji Xiuran saw Brother Ji and took a closer look. Brother Ji's family is over 30 years old and has been doing farm work all year round. His body is much stronger and darker than Ji Xiuran.

On the whole, it doesn't look as much as Ji Xiuran, but they are brothers after all, and one can still see that there are some similarities between the two of them.

After Ji Xiuran finished sizing up, he saw the face of Ji's eldest brother that was the same as in his memory, and instantly changed from unfamiliar to familiar, and the estrangement in his heart naturally disappeared.

He looked at his elder brother who looked at him with a gentle face, and he was a little moved in his heart. Maybe he was influenced by the original owner's memory, so he accepted this elder brother without any grievances.

He stepped forward and said naturally, "Brother, I kept you waiting."

Brother Ji looked at Ji Xiuran carefully, and then happily replied: "Not long, not long."

Then he said with some heartache: "Xiu Ranqing has lost a lot, it must be because of the exhaustion of the college exam this time, after returning home, let mother make some delicious food, and make up for you."

When Ji Xiuran heard Brother Ji's words, he touched his nose with guilt, his family didn't know about his serious illness, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to speak out at this time.

Turning his head and looking for help, Shi Jingchen glanced at Shi Jingchen. Shi Jingchen, who was moving things down at this time, felt his gaze, and calmly opened his mouth and said:

"Brother, I don't have a good foundation in Xiuran, and this exam is a lot of work, but it's not a big problem. I just need to let my mother pay more attention when I go back."

After hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran nodded quickly, expressing that
