Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

The Four Treasures of the Study that Bijiahuan bought with two hundred texts were several grades worse than those used in the past, and those who followed the village head to the east and west were not without gain, and collected a lot of old clothes from other people. Things like that, and even went south once, transporting a large truckload of coal.

"Village chief, our truck can make briquettes that last three to four months for a family. Isn't that a little less? There are sixteen families in our village."

Jia Huan knew that the village chief came out this time because people in the village needed charcoal for the winter to transport things, so he couldn't help but asked. In his opinion, this was really too little, so he just said something and asked the village chief I was knocked on the head, and scolded dissatisfiedly:

"You child who doesn't know how to be frugal, this charcoal costs money. Whose money is blown by the strong wind? The briquettes made of this charcoal are good. They burn for a long time and are not easy to extinguish. The use of the sky? If so, the money to buy charcoal can buy a lot of rice. This thing is to light it when you sleep at night to warm the house. If you want to keep warm during the day, you still use firewood. Things don’t cost money, and you don’t even look at them. Who’s family hasn’t been accumulating firewood since autumn? Drying the firewood for a month or two is the main force for our entire village to spend the winter in the past. Will the family spend money to buy this?"

When he said this, Jia Huan couldn't help but also nodded. That's true, not to mention other families, even theirs, it's the same. It's not uncommon for Xiaosan to follow the children in the village every day. That’s what I’m doing, picking up dead branches and stacking them on the flat ground at the entrance of the cave to dry. Now there are a lot of piles in the cave, even if they burn them every day, they can burn them for about a month. That’s all. This year, Jia Huan and the others were busy making money and making a living, so they didn't work together. In previous years, in his memory, the children of the whole family were indeed busy collecting firewood.

"Oh, yes, this year we are busy making wind chimes and picking scallops in autumn, but this has been taken down a lot."

"No, if it weren't for this, the big guy would not be willing to buy this thing. After all, it will cost money. If the expenses go up, the remaining money at home will be reduced a lot."

Said that the village chief's face was full of joy.

"However, it's a good deal compared to what you earn. After all, you earn more, so you don't have to worry about people freezing to death or starving to death in the village this winter."

He, the village head, is also doing a hard job. There are more than ten families, and every family is poor. If one family is in trouble, it is really difficult to even help. The price of scallops may drop in the future, or the output may decrease, but as long as there are people who want them, as long as there are still in the sea, they can continue to replenish their households, so that fishing will no longer be the only source of income. Relatively speaking, the number of times they go to sea It can also be reduced, and the number of times to go to sea is reduced, so there will be fewer casualties in the village.

It has been almost a hundred years since six families moved in during the war, and there are still only sixteen families in this village. From this number, it can be seen how many people have been buried by the sea in these hundred years, especially It is the old Jia family, and there is only such a family up to now, that is, now, there is hope to see the three children of the old Jia family grow up and separate and form three bloodlines in the future.

The seaside in winter is not for ordinary people, that is, those who have lived by the seaside for generations can endure such days of being invaded by the sea breeze every day. Of course, Jia Huan's family is living a good life now, at least the stone-surrounded The cave is stronger and warmer than those houses. There is no need to worry about air leakage here, and because of the characteristics of warm winter and cool summer caused by the cave rocks, this living environment is more suitable. The only bad thing is that the cave is cold in winter Get wet easily.

Even so, Jia Huan's family members are already very satisfied. After all, they only need to light a lot of briquettes made of charcoal. After a long time of smoky heat, the house is still very good.Although it would cost a lot of money, it was already a small amount of money for this family. With savings of more than a dozen taels of silver, they could still afford to spend one tael of silver on charcoal.

People can't go to sea in winter, and the sea wind is also raging. People can't do activities by the sea. As a result, the fishermen of each family are almost nested in their own homes, and they don't go out much. They rely on the food, bacon, and wild vegetables stored at home. Others may find such a boring life, but it is not the case in Jia Huan's family. Every day is extremely joyful, because Jia Huan's Three Character Classic has begun to work. Huan himself acted as a child prodigy, learned the three-character scripture from the village head, and after reciting it in public, the literacy became a process of memorizing characters while memorizing them, which was naturally much easier, and While pretending to remember, he can also draw on the ground for other brothers and sisters to guide them to follow suit. This has become the most extravagant pastime for the Jia family this winter.

Perhaps the saying that the children of the poor should be in charge of the family early is also vividly reflected in the matter of learning. This rare opportunity to be able to read characters, whether it is the Qi family or the others, all cherish it very much, that is, The youngest mistress always had a serious expression on her face.

The defective pens, inks, papers and inkstones bought for two hundred wen were considered useless in Jia Huan's eyes, but in the eyes of this family, they were still luxury goods, well hidden by the Qi family. , didn’t use it at all, everyone was holding branches, and kept drawing on the ground. According to Qi’s statement, wait until the characters in this book have been learned, and the writing looks good and looks good, and then use Writing with pen and paper is the proper way to do it.

As for what calligraphy?Poor people don't pay that much attention, being able to read and write is a huge pie, and can they continue to spend money on paper and pens just to write better?

Jia Huan wanted to say something, but when he thought about his family's Qian Kaichun building a house, such an important thing for the whole family like a new life, he couldn't say anything against it.Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Jia Huan's handwriting is very good, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to write well when the time comes.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang always oppressed him back then and prevented him from studying well. He used the method of copying Buddhist scriptures. Although this restrained his progress, it also allowed him to practice good calligraphy in disguise. Because of his good handwriting, he found a good job as a clerical worker after Jia's family fell, and his life gradually improved.

As for the other things about practicing calligraphy?Jia Huan thought, when the spring comes, he will always find a way to earn money, and wait until the family has enough money. At that time, even the Qi family will not be reluctant to buy these things. After all, they can make the children in the family grow up. , Motivation, that is the most important future for a widow.

After a few days of such a leisurely life, Jia Huan once again attracted his lucky draw day. This is the third time, and it is also the third month since he discovered this mysterious space. There will be one more time before the New Year. The lottery draw made him look forward to it, and he didn't know what good things he could get.

When he got to the space, he realized that a surprise was already waiting for him there, because there was a line written on it, because of the New Year, he actually had a festival reward draw. . . . . .

"My God, there are rewards in this lottery, does this fairy also celebrate the New Year?"

Jia Huan doesn't know that the gods don't celebrate the new year, even God doesn't know, and the author doesn't know either, but they are all the same happy. Jia Huan happily pressed the red button all of a sudden, maybe it was one more time Because of the chance, this time he actually launched the lottery without looking at the things on the big turntable.

So when Jia Huan found out that he had actually drawn a pair of couplets in a lottery this time, and nothing else, his whole face turned ugly, as if he was going to cry or not.

"Fortunately, there is one more time, God, this couplet can also be a prize? This is too unreliable."

Jia Huan, who had been fooled, was finally able to cheer up and look at the big turntable carefully, and secretly prayed in his heart, don't be such impractical things, if so, it would be better not to pass the New Year.

Fortunately, after looking around, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, because other than this pair of couplets, other things are still practical, such as a pig's head or something, maybe it looks a bit hideous and feels uncomfortable. Even the sacrificial things are taken out as prizes, but if there is such a pig's head, at least it can be made into pig's head meat, right?As for the others, he couldn't understand some of them, but after a closer look, he could find that they should be some useful things, not light and fluffy paper like couplets.

Finally, with his mind firmly in mind, Jia Huan started his second lottery draw for rewards.
