A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

Patted his head affectionately.

"I can teach you archery just to keep you healthy. You don't have to go up the mountain. I'll take care of everything at home. When I make money, I'll send you to study in the county." Li Xiaoxiao still remembered that before the family split up, her uncle would occasionally come back. He didn't have to work. When he came back, he would study in his room. Many times, she saw the young Li Huawen outside her uncle's room, eavesdropping on him reading with a look of envy on his face.

Later, she asked Mrs. Sun if she could let her brother go to school. Mrs. Sun shook her head after hearing this. The tuition for school was one or two taels of silver a year, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone were even more expensive. It was impossible for Old Lady Li to let Li Huawen go, no matter how talented he was.

Li Xiaoxiao used to be powerless, but now she is able. Li Huawen is at the perfect age for school, so when she has saved enough money to build a house, she will send Li Huawen to school.

Li Huawen's eyes widened in shock, with an expression of disbelief. His sister said that she would send him to school after earning money. The great joy came too quickly. He was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, "Sister, what did you just say?"

"When I make money, I will send you to the county town to study." Li Xiaoxiao repeated with a smile.

"Xiaoxiao, you..." Li Dahai was hesitant to speak. As a father, how could he not understand Li Huawen's thoughts? It's just that he has no money and can't afford to send his child to school. Xiaoxiao said this, and if the child still has no money to go to school at that time, Li Huawen would be very sad.

"Dad, don't worry. Now that I said so, I will definitely send my younger brother there." She had the space in her hands. If it really didn't work, she could always think of a way by exchanging some things for money.

When Li Huawen saw that his father had also spoken, he knew that he could really go to school. He was so happy that he almost took off on the spot. This made him happier than eating meat ten times.

After dinner, Sun went to fetch water, Li Ruolan washed the dishes, and Li Xiaoxiao went to Li Quanfu's house. The rabbit she had just caught was still in the backpack. The little rabbit was too young and needed milk, so it was inconvenient to feed it. She had seen an unused iron cage at Li Quanfu's house before, and wanted to borrow it for a day and then go to the county town to buy another one tomorrow.

When they arrived at Li's house, Aunt Zhang was cleaning the yard and there was no one else. Li Xiaoxiao explained her purpose. Aunt Zhang had always been generous. She handed the gift to her and said that she didn't need to go to the county town to buy it and this one would be fine. Li Xiaoxiao insisted on buying it. No matter how good a relationship is, once it is related to money, it will become sour over time.

The cage was quite big. Li Xiaoxiao found some chopped hay and spread it on one side, put the little rabbit on it, and then put the big rabbit in. The big rabbit might have been cramped in the basket for too long, so as soon as it was put in, it ran back and forth. Even so, none of the little rabbits were hurt. Li Huawen found a clay pot, filled it with water, and cut some grass that rabbits liked to eat. He reached the pot into the cage through the gap and fed it with interest.

Li Ruolandun looked at the little rabbits from the side, her eyes full of joy.

"Sister, brother, these rabbits will be handed over to you from now on." Seeing that they both liked them, Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Li Ruolan smiled and nodded.

"Second sister, I will take good care of them." Li Huawen promised. At Li Huawen's age, there is really nothing to do all day long, just eating, drinking and playing. It would be good to find something for him to do.

The wheat harvest is just a few days away, and every household has started threshing the wheat. To thresh the wheat is to find a piece of open space, preferably a square one, compact it with a stone roller, and then pour water on it. When the water dries, the ground will become harder, and when the wheat is harvested, it will be threshed here.

Threshing wheat is a tiring job. Some people's fields are far away, so wheat has to be carried to the threshing place one by one. Human strength is limited and they cannot carry too much at a time. There are no ox carts, so often one acre of land has to be carried dozens of times, which greatly increases the labor force.

At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao was actually somewhat relieved that the Li family did not give them the good land, otherwise she would have to go to work in the fields now.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Li Xiaoxiao said that she put the rabbit cage outside the door. Rabbit feces had a strong smell and her family was squeezed into a straw hut, which was already uncomfortable to sleep in. With the rabbits added to the hut, they wouldn't have time to sleep at night. Sun disagreed, saying that it was a whole nest of rabbits and what if they were caught in the middle of the night? What would they do?

Li Xiaoxiao insisted on not agreeing, mainly because she really couldn't stand the smell. In the end, Li Dahai felt sorry for his daughter and put the rabbit outside the door. Sun had no choice but to put the rabbit closest to the door.

At night, when everyone in the family was asleep, Sun was still worried. Every once in a while, she would get up carefully and take a look outside. When she saw that the rabbits were still there, she would go back to sleep. Li Xiaoxiao was always alert when she slept, so she knew every time Sun got up, but she didn't want to remind her as they were just a few rabbits.

Until the second half of the night, Sun seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not get up again. Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and could finally have a good night's sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept when she heard noises outside. She closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she listened carefully, she found that the sound was not coming from Sun on the other side of the curtain, but from outside the house. The sound was very light and could not be heard unless you listened carefully.

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly lost all sleepiness. Could someone really have stolen the rabbit? He groped in the dark and quickly put on his clothes. He put on his shoes, got up quietly, slowly walked to the door, and looked out through the gap at the door.

There was indeed someone outside the door. It was dark and I couldn't see the person clearly. I could only see a rough outline. Judging from her figure, she should be a woman. Because Sun was afraid that someone would come to steal the rabbits, she tied a lot of straw ropes around the opening of the rabbit cage. At this time, the woman was holding a knife in her hand and cutting the straw ropes. The sound of the knife cutting the straw ropes startled Li Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that all the ropes were cut, the woman was about to put her hand into the cage.

"What are you doing?" Li Xiaoxiao opened the door and suddenly spoke.

"Ah." The woman screamed and dropped the kitchen knife in her hand in fear. She retracted her outstretched hand and turned and ran away.

How could Li Xiaoxiao let her get away so easily since she dared to steal rabbits in the middle of the night? She chased after her.

Li Dahai and the others woke up. Sun got up in a hurry and went to see what was going on. When she went out, she saw her daughter running away after a dark figure. Without saying a word, she quickly followed her and said, "Xiaoxiao, slow down. Don't fall down."

There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and the road ahead could be vaguely seen. The black shadow obviously did not expect to be discovered, and was running in front in a panic. Li Xiaoxiao was chasing behind, and Sun was at the end.

Sun accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. Hearing the noise, Li Xiaoxiao came back to check. Sun hurriedly said that it was okay. When she chased the black shadow again, it had opened up a long distance between them.
