My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

The next day, at the Han Family Academy, Han Mingyue did not see Lin Xiyao coming to school as usual.

I was very curious.

I guess it must be that Mrs. Lin has just arrived in Donghai Town, so I should spend more time with her.

However, without someone to argue with, Han Mingyue always felt empty inside.

Just when he was distracted, he was caught by Master Yu.

Master Yu tapped the table lightly with the ruler in his hand and said seriously, "Han Mingyue, tell me, is what I just said reasonable? In what ways is it reasonable?"

Han Mingyue looked embarrassed, and he didn't know what he was thinking just now.

I was actually daydreaming, and didn't hear a single word the Master said.

He quickly looked at Li Qimu and Gu Yanyu for help.

Who knew that these two guys, sitting upright, didn't even give me a glance, how disloyal they were.

"Han Mingyue, you are required to copy the homework I taught you today twenty times and hand it in to me tomorrow morning!" Master Yu said angrily.

Han Mingyue started to daydream as soon as the class started.

He hit him with the ruler many times, but the boy's eyes started to wander again after a while.

Han Mingyue begged with a smile on her face, "Master, I didn't mean it! Can you please copy it less than twice?"

Twenty times, then you won’t have to eat dinner tonight.

"Then do it thirty times!" Master Yu said sternly.

When Han Mingyue heard this, her head drooped instantly, as if she had been drenched in the sun.

I dare not beg for mercy anymore.

When the two children, Gu Yunchu and Li Qimu, heard that Han Mingyue was punished, they all looked at him with sympathy.

Well! It's more of a gloating.

......

After lunch, Gu Lili was busy preparing to build a sheep pen and a dining hall.

The wall here is already finished, and all we need to do is to cover it with sharp shells.

Gu Lili asked the children in the village to pick up these shells, at one cent per pound.

In just one afternoon, the half-grown children in the village and some idle women collected two to three hundred kilograms of shells and piled them in Gu Lili's yard.

Gu Lili didn't just ask them to pick up the sharp ones, but all kinds of them.

Those that are beautiful and of good quality are picked out to make mother-of-pearl.

Yu Yirou was overjoyed when she saw the dazzling array of shells.

From now on, there will be no more worries about finding the raw materials for mother-of-pearl.

Gu Lili asked some craftsmen to put it on the wall, while other craftsmen helped Gu Lili build a sheep pen.

This will also make the progress faster.

Taking advantage of the name of Uncle Fortune, Gu Lili asked him to bring in a lot of steel bars.

The villagers were no longer surprised by the strange and bizarre things that Uncle Fa Cai could bring out.

When building the sheep pen, Gu Lili took out the blueprint in her hand.

"Master Qian, take a look, do you understand?"

This blueprint was drawn by Gu Lili who stayed up late last night. Craftsman Qian took it and looked at it carefully.

"County Lady, do you want to build a house with two floors?" Craftsman Qian looked at the blueprint carefully for a while and asked tentatively.

Gu Lili nodded. This was exactly what she thought.

Craftsman Qian was a little confused, because generally only houses in towns had a second floor.

Even the house where Gu Lili and her family lived was only one story.

Could it be that Gu Lili wanted to raise the sheep on the first floor and use the second floor to store hay to feed the sheep in winter?

But this is not appropriate if the hay is stored on the second floor.

Carrying hay back and forth upstairs is time-consuming and laborious.

Besides, there is so much open space nearby. We can just build a place to store hay without going through so much trouble.

Craftsman Qian couldn't help but complain about Gu Lili in his heart.

Although she is the princess of the county, she is a woman after all, and she is too inconsiderate.

Although building a second floor could earn more money, if it was only for storing hay, Qian the craftsman felt that he still needed to persuade Gu Lili.

"County Lady, it's really a bit of a hassle to use the second floor to store hay! It would be better to just build a first floor. For hay, any shed can be used."

Gu Lili smiled in an unfathomable way.

"Craftsman Qian, who told you that? I'm going to use the second floor to store hay. I want to raise sheep on the second floor!"

When Qian Gongjian heard this, he found it even more ridiculous.

With the money used to build the second floor, you can build two sheep pens of the same size on the first floor.

"This is a bit ridiculous." Craftsman Qian muttered in a low voice.

If this gets out, people will laugh at you to death.

Gu Lili was not annoyed. She pointed at the steel bars sent by Uncle Fa Cai and explained, "When the time comes, these iron bars will be used to build the floor of the second floor. The sheep will be on the second floor, and their feces will naturally fall on the first floor."

In this way, the sheep can live more comfortably and cleanly.

You will not sleep on sheep dung and urine due to untimely treatment.

This way the sheep will be less likely to get sick.

The underground is used to store manure. If you need sheep manure, you can take it out directly from below, which is very convenient.

Gu Lili saw this when she went to a friend's house before. At that time, she thought that the person who came up with this idea was simply a genius.

Therefore, I borrowed this method today.

When craftsman Qian heard this, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that I am the one who is narrow-minded!

Gu Lili must have something extraordinary to be able to become a county lady.

"County Lady, I was short-sighted just now, I hope you don't blame me." Craftsman Qian quickly apologized for his rudeness just now.

Gu Lili waved her hand indifferently.

"It's okay. Just cover it up first. If you have any questions, just come and ask me."

After Gu Lili finished speaking, she took Xiaolier home.

Before I got home, I saw several carriages parked at the door from afar.

Gu Lili guessed in her heart that it must be the group of merchants from Jiangdu who came to get the soap.

"Little Li'er, go take a walk nearby. I'll ask your master to take you hunting later!" Gu Lili squatted down and said while touching Little Li'er's head.

The people in the village were already accustomed to Xiao Li'er, but it was different for that group of businessmen.

It would be bad if she brought him in and scared someone to death.

Little Li'er must have understood what Gu Lili said. After enjoying Gu Lili's caress, he walked towards the other side of the mountain.

Gu Lili also walked towards home.

Before he got home, he happened to run into Wei Yin.

"Wei Yin, go over there and take Xiao Li'er hunting." Gu Lili said, pointing in the direction where Xiao Li'er disappeared.

Wei Yin came out just for this matter.

The sudden presence of a stranger in the house made Wei Yin find it difficult to adapt for a while.

"Yes!" Wei Yin bowed and responded, then he used his lightness skills to fly towards the place where Xiao Li'er disappeared.

Gu Lili also continued walking towards home.

There were seven carriages at the door.

There was a lantern with the word "Liu" hanging on one of the cars. Gu Lili guessed that it must be someone from the Liu family. So, Mrs. Li and Old Man Li would probably go to Jiangdu in the near future.
