Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

"I heard that the teachers in the introductory classes in town are mostly students, and their monthly salary is more than half a tael of silver, and their food and accommodation are provided. It's better than the farmers like us who have no food to eat."

Jiang Fubao heard what grandma said and nodded silently.

It is rare to find a woman who can think like this.

In this era of illiteracy.

Farmers believe that fields are their foundation and would never think of spending so much money to send their grandchildren to school.

They thought that instead of wasting the money, it would be better to save some to marry a wife, have more children, and buy a few acres of good land, where they could continue farming from generation to generation.

"Mother, it's more than just a teacher. If you pass the exam to become a scholar, not only can you meet officials without kneeling, but you can also be exempted from corvée labor for two people in your family. When the annual tax is due, you can also be exempted from the tax on ten acres of land. If you rank higher, the government will give you silver and food!"

Jiang Eryong, who often did odd jobs in the town and loved to listen to gossip, became interested.

He told the Jiang family the gossip he had overheard.

"What did you say? Tax exemption? And also free from corvée? Ten acres of land? Our family only has six acres of land in total. With the extra four acres, can't we let others rent it out at our house? We can collect some money, just like the shops in town collect rent. We can make money every year without doing anything. Wow, studying has so many benefits."

Zhang Jinlan's mind works very quickly.

I immediately thought of collecting rent.

"It's easy to say, but is it really that easy to pass the exam? How come in all these years, in the ten villages of Lianshan Town, no one has ever produced a scholar? Only twelve years ago, the eldest son of the patriarch of your Zhangjia Village passed the exam and became a student at the age of twenty. So many years have passed, and he has three grandchildren, but he is still an old student, and he has failed repeatedly. How much money has he spent? Now he has given up and is living a peaceful life!"

Jiang Shoujia, on the contrary, was very sober.

Let’s not talk about how expensive the school tuition is.

Just buying a book would cost at least half a tael of silver.

There are also pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Which one doesn’t cost money?

It is difficult for a farmer's family to produce a scholar.

Why has this sentence been passed down for hundreds of years?

It all makes sense.

"Alright, alright, go to bed early. It's better to think about how to make more money tomorrow than to think about this and that. Go to bed quickly."

Jiang Shoujia waved to the younger generations.

Went back to the house first.

Jiang Fubao was also carried to the bed by his mother.

"Fubao, it's cold at night, be careful not to kick off the quilt. Xiaoji and Xiaoxiang, the same goes for you two, sleep well and don't fall off the bed again. Remember the bump on your forehead you fell last year? You didn't mind the pain."

Zhang Yanzi gently covered her three children with quilts. After giving them some instructions, she and Jiang Siyin kissed each child on the forehead before closing the door and leaving.

The bed is cold.

But the two brothers were in good health and had hot tempers, so after a while, the quilt became warm for them to sleep in.

Jiang Fubao slept in the innermost bed, and she unconsciously moved towards her brother.

It was as if one was close to a human hot-water bottle.

She closed her eyes and rested for a while until she heard the brothers' breathing become heavier.

She just entered the space.

During the day, she found a way to exploit the loophole.

If you take the eggs out of the space every day and accumulate them, the automatic replenishment of the space will be refreshed every day.

Then we can bring the eggs to our family together.

Wouldn't it be able to sell for a lot of money?

It's better than wasting it in space every day.

The thought of this made her heart ache.

She is only three years old, too young.

As long as you have your own room.

She would definitely take out all the things in the space and save them for the daily refresh.

Unfortunately, the only place she could hide things now was under the bed.

There’s nothing I can do except wait until I grow up.

Jiang Fubao took out the basin where the meat was previously placed, put the eggs in first, and finally filled the gaps with thirty quail eggs, just enough to fill the basin.

It was so heavy that she couldn't lift it.

I could only make space for myself first, then conjure up a basin out of thin air and put it under the bed.

After doing all this, she returned to bed and got under the covers.

Still so warm.

Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and in less than a minute, she fell asleep.

The village is very quiet at night.

Except for the occasional bird calls.

Jiang Fubao slept soundly all night.

She woke up before dawn.

It's rare to get up so early.

The two brothers are still sleeping.

She put on her clothes quietly and got out of bed.

I wanted to put the basin back into the space, but when I saw that the space had not been refreshed yet, I quickly gave up the idea.

If I really put it in, I'm afraid it will return to its original state.

"Oh, our Fubao is so diligent today, getting up so early. Come, wash up, and your aunt will get you some lard cakes." Walking into the kitchen, Jiang Fubao saw his aunt Zhu Yingqiu sitting by the stove eating breakfast.

It was a coarse flour pancake served with fried pork slices with pickled vegetables left over from yesterday.

The meat is finished.

There are only pickles left, which are just right as a side dish.

There was some pork scraps left over from yesterday.

Use it to make pie filling.

"Aunt, have daddy and uncle already gone to town?" Jiang Fubao asked, raising his little head.

"Yes, we left before daybreak. It takes an hour and a half to get to town. We dare not leave late, otherwise it will be daybreak when we arrive in town, and by then the recruitment will be full. We have to leave early. Come, auntie will get you some water to wash up. There is half a pot of hot water left on the stove."

Zhu Yingqiu put down the bowl, took a washbasin and poured some hot water, then took Jiang Fubao's hand and went outside to add some Liangshan spring water to the hot water.

She tested the temperature with her hands.

After it was just the right size, he handed Jiang Fubao a piece of willow branch.

This is the toothbrush used by poor people in ancient times.

When Jiang Fubao first came here, the original owner had never used a toothbrush.

It was only at her strong request that it was used.

Use a thin willow branch, remove the skin on the front end, and scrape it up and down and left and right in your mouth. If you dip it in some salt, it will be cleaner.

But salt costs dozens of cents per pound, and I can't even bear to eat it, let alone use it to brush my teeth.

Jiang Fubao is not picky either.

She finished brushing, cleaned her face with a linen cloth, and went to the kitchen to eat.

This piece of linen is shared by all the women in the Jiang family.

One for men and one for women.

It doesn't feel like a modern towel when you wipe it on your face. It's very rough and painful!

Especially since Jiang Fubao had such a tender face, every time she washed her face, she felt like she was being tortured.

"Fubao, get up. You got up very early today." He said halfway through his meal.

Sun Pingmei also got up.

She greeted Jiang Fubao with a yawn.

The Jiang family takes turns to make breakfast. Whoever's turn it is has to get up early. The one who got up early today is Zhu Yingqiu.

soon.

The sky gradually turned white.

Until the morning glow accompanied the sun half appearing in the east.

Everyone in the Jiang family has finished breakfast.

"I won't go to the fields today. I'll just water my private plot." Jiang Shoujia was sitting on a chair in the front yard. After he said that, he stood up and prepared to go to the backyard to water the plants, but was stopped by his third grandson Jiang Tongshui.

"Grandpa, I'll water it. It's just a small area. Four buckets will do. You can take a rest."
