If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

Brother Nan finally chose to practice martial arts with the two masters.

It's not that the elders in the family forced him, Master Xia risked his life for his future. He naturally knew that studying had a better future than practicing martial arts. If he could be a scholar, why bother to be a martial artist?

Although Brother Nan has no talent in reading, he is only slightly better than his elder brother, but no one can tell if Xia Chen's daily tutoring is the result of this good point.

Brother Nan yelled that he wanted to study but refused to practice martial arts, and his family members followed him. As a result, only half a month later, the boy refused to go. He packed his schoolbag and followed the two masters to exercise in silence. .

Xia Chen was surprised, and asked why he suddenly changed his mind in private.

Brother Nan, who has always been carefree and still has baby fat, put on a bit of melancholy for the first time: "I think it's a bit unfair, I'm so lazy, and the master even praised me for my talent, my brother every day Get up before the light is on, and practice boxing with the master... I, I don’t know how to say it. I’m not smart and lazy. Going to school is a waste of money at home. The master said I have talent, so what? I'll just follow along..."

Xia Chen touched his little nephew's head distressedly, and asked: "Who told you what? Our family doesn't want you to practice martial arts to do something. If you want to study, you can study. You won't be able to pay for your study." As for Brother Dong, he likes to practice martial arts, even if his talent is not as good as yours, if he can persevere every day, his future achievements may not be inferior to yours, so why worry about it."

The two brothers practiced martial arts together, and the master praised Brother Nan for his talent. Xia Chen thought about whether Brother Dong would have ideas, not because he didn't trust his nephew. Xue, Dong Geer's age, and when he was sensitive, Xia Chen worried that he was thinking wrong, so he asked specifically.

Who would have thought that Dong Geer's character was similar to Xia Dalang's, and he was quite generous in his straightforwardness. He was only happy about his younger brother's good talent. Although he was also a little disappointed, why his talent was not as good as his younger brother's, but there was nothing wrong with it. idea.

Xia Chen was very happy that the eldest nephew was so sensible. He told Dong Geer several stories about his hard work and finally achieved success.

Xia Chen didn't expect that Dong Geer, who he was worried about having psychological problems, was fine, but Nan Geer, who was usually in a daze except to eat and have nothing to do, started to think about it.

After being lectured by Xia Chen and told that his brother didn't care at all, Brother Nan patted his head in embarrassment: "I just look at my brother, every night I'm so tired that my whole body hurts, and I feel uncomfortable..."

"That's what he chose." Xia Chen was very calm: "Go out and ask, how many children in the village want to practice martial arts, but there is no such opportunity. Brother Dong likes to practice martial arts, and he has a good teacher at home. If you are tired, you must be happy in your heart. You are not him, so why bother for him? If you really love your brother, the two uncles will definitely know how to massage the body. You go and learn how to massage your brother, and it will make him feel better. "

"Then I'll learn!" Brother Nan's eyes lit up all of a sudden. He always felt sorry for his brother, and he was always happy to do something for him.

"Wait a minute." Xia Chen stopped him: "Have you decided whether to study or practice martial arts?"

Brother Nan scratched his head: "I'd better practice martial arts. Anyway, the master said that I still have some talent. My mother is right. The talent for studying in our family is all in you, uncle. I am suffering in the school. Waste of money."

"You just make up your mind." Xia Chen got his little nephew settled, and when he heard him decide to practice martial arts, he said meaningfully: "To learn massage techniques, it's best to let your brother learn with you."

"Why?" Brother Nan was puzzled. His brother had already worked hard to learn boxing from his master.

Xia Chen said with a smile: "When you are as tired as your brother and can't move, why don't you ask him to give you a massage?"

Brother Nan: "..." I said now, is it too late for me to go back to study?

Another spring.

At the beginning of March, Da'an pilgrimage Emperor Yuan issued an edict announcing his abdication, and the fifth prince Li Ze succeeded him and changed his name to Xiyuan, which was the first year of Xiyuan.

In the winter of the first year of Xiyuan, the grassland cavalry raided the border, and the summons were intercepted. The guards at the border guarded for 28 days, running out of ammunition and food.

In the first month of the second year of Xiyuan, General Fu took his second son, Fu Yu, who was married for less than three months, to the border. Only the old mother, daughter, and 15-year-old son Fu Zhan were left at home.

In March of the first year of Xiyuan, Emperor Xiyuan imprisoned the whole family of his grandfather Luo's family, but the Queen Mother cried and begged for forgiveness.

In May of the first year of Xiyuan, a great victory was achieved at the border. The younger brother of the Empress Dowager and the uncle of Emperor Xiyuan were sentenced to death.

In the second year of Xiyuan, following the fine varieties of rice, the Da'an Dynasty obtained another high-yielding crop. Da Si Nong bought two kinds of fine rice from an overseas yellow-haired foreign tribe.

One, the rhizomes are buried in the ground, and the output is higher than that of all kinds of food crops. It is full of food and has a good taste. It is earthy and shaped like soybeans. The common people call it potatoes.

The two of them bear rod-shaped spikes, and the fruit is yellow as jade, sweet and delicious, which is called corn.

Emperor Xiyuan was overjoyed, and the imperial edict said: "God bless Da'an."

Xiyuan four years.

Xia Chen is twelve years old, and has been studying under Mr. Meng for more than four years. Mr. Meng said that he has laid a solid foundation and can give it a try.

These years the Xia family lived fairly comfortably. After Xia Chen went to school to study, the Tian family sent their baby, Dumiao Tian Laibao, to study as well. He was still the most expensive family in the county.

Tian Laibao is one year older than Dong Geer, and is spoiled by his family. He is only 16 years old and has studied for four years. He can't write his own name well, but he can do everything from eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

When Xia Chen mentioned it to Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia only smiled and said, "It's exactly the same as his father. Let's prepare money and wait to buy land."

Sure enough, Tian Laibao soon owed a huge amount of gambling debts in the gambling shop. pay off debts.

The Tian family's land is selling quickly, and the towns and villages can afford it. Except for the Xia family, the other houses are either far away, or the price is too hard to sell, and they don't know how long they will sell. The nose was sold to the Xia family, and the Xia family became the largest landlord in Qinghe Village.

Only then did Xia Chen realize that most of the Xia family’s original [-]-acre land was bought from the Tian family. Tian Laibao’s father was also a prostitute who ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled. Almost lost.

Therefore, Mr. Tian never dared to let his grandson go out to study. Later, he saw that the villagers praised Xia Chen as a future scholar, and he couldn't bear the provocation, so he let his precious grandson out, and bought a few boys to watch over him.

However, if a person wants to learn to be bad, even God can't stop him, let alone a few servants, how dare they confront young master Tian Laibao.Tian didn't feel sorry for the cub's father, Tian Laibao's father's unfinished family business, he, the son, continued to lose.

In the past few years, the Tian family tried to frame the Xia family several times. Of Tian Laibao's seven sisters, the worst married was the son of the big landlord in the next village. Concubine, with such an intricate network of relationships, it's no wonder Master Xia didn't directly confront the family even though he knew they were behind the plot to kill Xia Chen.

But today is different from the past, after the Xia family offered improved rice seeds, the General’s Mansion specially arranged for someone to live in their home, Wang Wu and Liu Si, but with the badge of the General’s Mansion, even the county magistrate would bow their heads when they saw it .

The Tian family was framed several times, not only failed to please, but also suffered a lot of losses, and finally settled down.

As for the corn and potatoes, they were also handed over by Xia Chen. When the corn was sent from the General's Mansion to plant rice, Mr. Xia mentioned it to them, but at that time only two plants were planted, and the yield was uncertain, so he didn't make much publicity. .

Xia Chen has no ambition to help the people, and he doesn't think he has the ability. It's just that no matter what era, peasants always work hard, especially at this time.The Da'an Dynasty was not a bad dynasty, Xia Chen hoped that its peace would last for a long time. In ancient dynasties, as long as the people had enough to eat, they would not necessarily oppose it.

So since he has high-yielding crops, he simply handed them over. The General's Mansion is indeed reliable. He has already given the rice, and it is nothing to give away the potatoes and corn.

It can only be said that Mr. Xia did not believe in the wrong person. This time, even General Fu did not dare to let the General's House take the lead. After discussing with the Xia family, he borrowed the hands of a foreign race to send out the potatoes and corn seeds. The two families did not deserve any credit. Ken stick.Fortunately, the corn had been planted behind Xia's house, and the potatoes had grown underground, so no one except Xia's family knew about it.

General Fu privately arranged for the General Mansion to subsidize the Xia family. Master Xia made the decision and only collected some cloth for the family to make clothes as a symbol, and returned all other valuables.

Because of this uninterrupted communication, the relationship between the Xia family and the General's Mansion became more and more intimate.

The news of the death of the two major generals in the general's mansion came, and the whole Xia family was in grief. Mrs. Xia went to the Fairy Temple to light the eternal lamp for the two major generals who died in battle. It didn't matter whether the Taoist temple was like a temple to manage the lamp, Xu Laodao Taking the money Mrs. Xia gave, he cheerfully helped Zhang Luo, and ordered Xu He to come and watch him every day.

Every New Year's Day, the General's Mansion will send New Year's gifts. Although the Xia family is not very rich in comparison, they try their best to return the gifts.

Thinking about the bitter cold at the border, Xia Chen suggested to his mother and sister-in-law to sew a Lei Feng hat style hat, which was made of good leather that his father specially collected, and also made knee pad wool vest and other warm clothes.

In addition, Xia Chen also rectified a batch of rice sauce. There was no chili in Da'an Dynasty, and a strange spicy grass was used to adjust the spiciness. The spiciness was very mild and slightly bitter, so few people liked it.

After Xia Chen planted the chili peppers, Brother Nan saw that the red fruits were very cute, so he picked one and ate it raw. It was so hot that his tears burst into tears, and he cried out that his tongue hurts. His family members thought he was poisoned.

Fortunately, Xia Chen came back in time, otherwise the few chili seedlings he had planted so hard would have been pulled out. Even so, it would have caused a huge obstacle for him to promote chili. Every time he wanted to eat it, his family members were desperate Stop, as if he was going to take poison.

After finally getting the family to accept it slowly, from the beginning I tried a little bit, and then I couldn't enjoy spicy food. Xia Dalang was the only one in the family who couldn't eat spicy food.

Xia Chen asked his father to buy a lot of beef, fried a lot of oily, spicy and delicious rice sauce with chili and homemade bean paste, and sealed it in a small jar to bring back to the general's New Year's presenter.

The gift from the Xia family back home may not be very expensive, but it is very thoughtful. When the general came back, he also said that these things are very useful, and the rice sauce was snatched up by the border guards. Make a batch.

If you want Xia Chen to say that General Fu is probably his father's idol, but this general is indeed worthy of admiration. Xia's family is very happy to do something for him and the border soldiers, let alone the people in the general's mansion If you want to give money, you don't want to take it for nothing.

So every time Xia Chen came up with something new, he was very willing to send a copy to General Fu, such as jerky, soup, homemade candy and so on.

After several years of dating, General Fu's letter to Xia Chen has changed from a nephew to a nickname "Yuan Bao", and later he even told Master Xia that he wanted to accept Xia Chen as his adopted son.

Someone would be very angry if someone robbed his son, but this person is a great hero whom he has always admired, and having such a adoptive father is definitely beneficial to Yaoer's future, Master Xia endured a little sourness, and directly recognized him foster father.

Xia Chen: "..." No, you really didn't notify me at all, and you suddenly had an extra dad.
