Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"Yes, Yiyi likes to read. There are many female teachers in the city who can teach girls to read. This is not uncommon in the city.

In fact, reading is the same for boys and girls, and it can help children have a better understanding of the future. "

Xia Shengsheng knew that the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was deeply rooted, and the low status of girls could not be changed by just a few words.

So I just briefly explained it to everyone and didn’t say too much.

The women looked at each other. Although they didn't quite agree with what Xia Shengsheng said, they had no intention of saying anything else.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back first! It's getting late. Studying is a good thing. It's a good thing for Xiao Xia's children to study or learn a craft. Everyone should stop interfering."

After hearing this, several women smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Ah! Why didn't I see Shanshan today? It turns out she stayed in the capital. Sister Xia will be blessed in the future. Her children are so promising..."

"Sister-in-law is joking."

Li Erjia made a few jokes and left first under the leadership of Village Chief Ma.

The others also said goodbye, agreed on the time to go to work tomorrow, and left.

Ma Kui's family returned the key to Xia Shengsheng. "We've already fed the animals tonight, so there's no need to feed them again today!"

Xia Shengsheng took the key and asked Ercheng to bring the things he bought for the Ma Kui family.

"Look? What is this for? It's just to feed the animals for a day. Take it back quickly. I won't accept it..." Ma Kui's family quickly refused.

"Sister-in-law, this is for the child. I promised the child this morning that I would bring her something delicious. I can't go back on my word. If you don't take it back, I will be a person who doesn't keep his word.

Even if my sister-in-law wants to help me and give me some prestige in front of the children, I still have to take the things back, right?

And they are just some snacks, not expensive things, sister-in-law, don't think too much about it!"

After hearing what Xia Shengsheng said, the people from the Ma Kui family accepted the things and exchanged a few more words before going back.

Yiyi called everyone to eat only after seeing that everyone had left.

"I'm going to go to your village chief's house first. You guys eat first, I'll drop off the food and come back."

There were a lot of people here just now, and Village Chief Ma and the Ma family left first, so it was not convenient to take out the thank-you gifts.

So I have to go visit him again now.

This time, the village chief has indeed been in a lot of trouble. There is nothing that requires the village chief to step in.

Moreover, there may be more troubles for the village chief in the future.

A thank you gift is inevitable.

When Xia Shengsheng went to the village chief's house, Village Chief Ma repeatedly refused and refused to accept anything.

Later, after repeated persuasion from Xia Shengsheng and without giving Village Chief Ma the chance to refuse, he left his things and was finally able to leave.

"Dad, you say..." Mr. Ma walked to the side of the village chief Ma and wanted to talk about Xia Shengsheng. He was interrupted by the village chief Ma just as he started.

"What are you talking about? Stay out of other people's business. You can't stop talking when there's something good going on?

Be careful not to ruin this little bit of our friendship, or you’ll cry later.”

Village Chief Ma has lived a lifetime. If he were young, he might be like everyone else.

I feel suspicious about Xia Shengsheng's sudden change.

But now he understood that since they neither threatened his own interests nor brought benefits to the villagers, why should he care so much?

You must have a sense of balance in your mind about what you should and should not be involved in.

Li Youcai's home at this time.

Mr. Li looked at his sister-in-law who came back smiling.

He returned to the room, sat on the kang, and complained to Boss Li who was washing his feet.

"Why should we let the second brother's family go? They only pay one-third of the money they earn from the government, and the rest goes to themselves. Why should they take all the credit for such a good thing?"

Boss Li wiped his washed feet and waited for a long time. When he saw that his wife stopped complaining, he slowly spoke.

"They can occupy any place. Wasn't it me who built the house for Xia's family last time? It took more than a month! We also paid one-third of the money to the government. You can't let us go this time!"

After hearing this, Mr. Li retorted, "Then the second brother was not idle last time! He took on so many tables, chairs and benches, and earned more than one tael of silver! This time we have no work at all!"

"Isn't more than one tael of silver our public treasury? Dad only gave the second son 200 coins as wages, which is nothing like us! After paying, we still have more than coins left!

Moreover, I heard from Ma Dasao that it was Xia's sister who specifically asked my sister-in-law to go this time, not Dad's decision."

Mrs. Li actually didn't want to admit that her family had indeed taken advantage last time, but she also wanted to go to work this time!

Her eldest son is already engaged and is about to get married, so she has to think about the child!

When I have grandchildren in the future, money will be spent everywhere.

There is also the second child in the family, which is not a small amount. When the youngest child gets married in the future, he or she must also give some dowry, otherwise he or she will be looked down upon by the in-laws.

It makes me worried just thinking about these things.

"I don't know what kind of magic potion the second brother's family gave to Xia?

Why are you so good to her? Obviously...”

She helped a lot back then!

"Okay, stop talking. We are all family. Don't be so petty."

Boss Li complained a lot in his room.

The same thing happened in Li Laoer's room.

"Look, just now when I came back from outside, my sister-in-law gave me a cold look, and now she is making fun of me in the house. It's as if I got such a big advantage?"

Li Laoer was massaging his wife's shoulders. "My wife is the most reasonable one. Let's ignore her and let her think whatever she wants!

It's as if he's the only one in the family who has to raise the child.

Last time, I followed my father to work and asked my eldest brother to work for the Xia family. He earned so much money, and I didn’t say anything!

It's just that my sister-in-law likes to make a fuss. Don't worry, my brother never takes it to heart and will definitely persuade my sister-in-law not to get angry with my wife."

Li Erjia felt much more relieved when she heard that the head of the family was of the same mind as her, no matter what.

"Humph! Fortunately you have such a good mouth, otherwise I would not marry you."

Li Laoer was laughing beside them and continued to say nice things to his wife.

Boss Li’s son is getting married, so her child will have to wait for a few more years.

But there will always be many places to spend money in the future!

Who wouldn't want to have a place to make money?

If we rely on the two acres of land at home, we can't even earn enough to feed ourselves.

The carpentry work at home is indeed not bad, but the income is too little, and most of it belongs to the factory. It is better to do some work by yourself, so that you can save more private money and it will be convenient to use it in the future.

Li Youcai could hear some of the noise while lying in the room, and he was also aware of the complaints from both sides.

But that's how life is. Living together for a long time is bound to cause some conflicts.

He could only turn a blind eye.

Sometimes you have to close both ears.

otherwise……
