Qiao Chao glanced at him. He actually had some idea of ​​his third brother's academic level. Not to mention passing the examination for a scholar, he probably couldn't even pass the examination for a student.

He can barely recognize a few words and knows how to compose poetry, but if you ask him to compose a poem, he probably won't be able to do it.

But this account... Qiao Chao took a look and found that the account was well done and clear.

Zhen Yue: "Sure. But...if you want to find a job as an accountant in town, you can go, but I have another option for you. Help with the accounting and farming at home, and your family will pay you according to the time you work outside."

She changed her mind. There was not enough manpower at home, so Qiao San decided to help with the housework.

"As you know, this year our family is going to plant more crops. If we hire someone to do the work, the money will be distributed to others. And Xiaohua and the others also need your help in learning to read."

Qiao San immediately said: "Then I will help out at home first, no money required." His family had already spent a lot of money on his previous studies.

Zhen Yue: "Everyone has money when they work. You are an adult now and you will get married in a few years. You still need to have money. That's it."

Zhen Yue: "As for farming, if we have time, of course everyone in the family will work together. Next, I will talk about our goals for this year."

"First, I hope my family can buy a horse this year. Donkey carts are too slow, and horse carts will be faster. It will save us time going to the county town."

"Secondly, I hope everyone in the family can learn to read a little bit, at least know how to write their own names, especially my second brother and Qian. If you don't know how to read, you will be easily cheated when you go out to deal with people. So from now on, you'd better learn to read from my third brother every day."

"If you've been cheated and have no money left..." Zhen Yue said in a threatening tone, "You can use your own money to fill the gap! Anyone who has done something wrong needs to make compensation!"

Qian nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, I will definitely learn to read with Qiao Er." She didn't expect that one day she, Qian, would be threatened to learn to read. How does this feeling... seem not bad?

Qiao Chen rubbed her hands and said, "This... do your father and I have to learn it too?"

Zhen Yue: "You have to learn. If someone asks you to sign in the future, at least you know what they are writing."

Qiao Chenshi: "Well... okay then."

Zhen Yue: "The third thing is that Xiaohua and the others have grown up. If we make money this year, we will build another house for the three little girls to live in together. If we have more money in the future, we will build more and give each of them a room."

Xiaohua and the others didn't expect that they would have their own business, and each of them would have their own room? Why did it feel like a dream? But this is what my aunt said.

Qian had no objection to this. Xiaonian slept with her and Qiao Er most of the time. Sometimes they couldn't do anything intimate. And they didn't know when their son would come.

Zhen Yue finished what she wanted to say and looked at everyone, "You can say whatever you want."

Everyone looked at each other in silence, no one spoke. They didn't know what to say.

Zhen Yue looked at Qiao Chao: "What about you?"

Qiao Chao thought for a while and said, "If possible, I hope to make money so I can buy more books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone for my family." As soon as Qiao Chao said this, Qiao San on the side looked at him with surprise!

Zhen Yue thought it made sense, "Okay. Write this down as well. Or... if you have time, go ask the bookstore if they have book copying jobs. Then you can bring a book home and copy one more using the paper at home, and you can have one more book at home."

Qiao San was very excited: "Okay, sister-in-law! I'll go ask when I'm free."

"Well, does everyone have anything else?"

Everyone shook their heads. Zhen Yue nodded and asked Qiao San to repeat what he had recorded. Zhen Yue said, "In the future, our family will work towards these planned goals. Let's work together. Good days are waiting for us in the future."

As Zhen Yue spoke, everyone's heart was surging, as if there were mountains of gold and silver waiting for them not far away. They were all very excited when they were working that day.

On the second day, when it was time to go back to her parents' home, Zhen Yue got up early in the morning, but Qian Shi got up even earlier. Before Zhen Yue was ready, Qian Shi and Qiao Er took Xiao Nian out, "Sister-in-law, we're leaving first."

"it is good."

Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao had almost finished packing. Qiao Chao held their son in his arms, while Zhen Yue carried a backpack and they set off. Fortunately, it didn't snow today, so the road was not difficult to walk on.

After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at Zhenjia Village. On the way, we met a villager who was driving a bullock cart. "Hey? Are you the youngest child of Dawei? Are you going back to your mother's home?"

Zhen Yue took a look and didn't recognize him, but still smiled and said, "Yes."

"You probably don't recognize me. After all, you've been married for so long and rarely come back. I'm your eighth uncle. Do you still remember Xiaoli? You used to play with her when you were a child."

Everyone in Zhenjia Village has the surname Zhen. The entire village is related by blood. People like Seventh Uncle, Eighth Uncle, and Twenty-third Uncle are all called that.

Zhen Yue: ...I don’t remember any Xiaoli at all.

"Haha." Zhen Yue gave a polite smile.

"Get in the car. It's cold. I'll take you back." Uncle Zhen looked like a very enthusiastic person.

Zhen Yue agreed to that, so she got in the car with Qiao Chao. Uncle Zhen was a chatterbox and he talked a lot along the way. Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao both heard a lot of gossip.

"By the way, your mother came to see you last time and said that you brought some goodies back from your parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. What goodies are they? Uncle Ba, can you take a look too?"

Zhen Yue: "Nothing much, just some vegetables, rice and noodles."

Uncle Zhen: "This food is good. Food is so important." But it's not a good thing, right?

Soon they arrived at Zhen Yue's mother's house, "We're here."

Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao got out of the car, and Zhen Yue handed Uncle Zhen two cents, "Thank you."

"Hey, why do I need your money? I'm just passing by."

Zhen Yue handed it to him anyway, "I need it. Thank you, Uncle Eight."

Seeing that she was determined to give it, Uncle Zhen accepted it anyway. Xiaoyue from Dawei's family seemed to have changed a lot compared to before.

Knock, knock, knock.

After a while, someone came to open the door. It was Zhen Yang. When she saw Zhen Yue, she immediately smiled widely. "Oh, we're finally here. I was wondering when you would arrive."

"Let me get it, I'll get it." When Zhen Yang saw Zhen Yue carrying a basket on her back, her eyes lit up and she immediately walked forward to help take the things down.

The backpack was covered with straw, so she couldn't see what was underneath. But when Zhen Yang thought of the good things Zhen Yue mentioned two days ago, she felt that there must be something good inside.

Entering the house, Zhen Yue's eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother were all there, as well as three sisters-in-law. The remaining fourth brother had not yet married, but he would soon. Then there were several children in the family. Zhen Yue was a little dazzled by the number of people in the room, not to mention Qiao Chao. He looked at the several grown men in the room who looked similar and didn't know which one was which.

Zhen Yue was also unclear, and said directly: "Happy New Year, brothers and sisters-in-law."

"My little sister is here. Come and sit. Come son, wish your aunt and uncle a happy new year."

Seven or eight children came over and shouted to Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao, "Aunt, Uncle, wish you a happy New Year."

Zhen Yue: “…Good luck.” She took out several red envelopes and gave two to each of them, one for her and one for Qiao Chao.
