Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Chapter 43 Women are superior to men 4

In recent years, we have improved the varieties and optimized the varieties in our own space to cultivate varieties suitable for the current climate.

I also told the village chief that we should exchange good seeds with the villagers. The village chief had seen that the yield of the crops in the fields was 2,000 to 3,000 kilograms per mu, and the potatoes dug out were as big as the palm of a hand. I had long wanted to ask Haoyue if we could exchange seeds.

Village chief Zhang patted her on the back happily and said frankly that he would not let her suffer any loss.

There is not much left after paying taxes every year in the village. In recent years, the weather has changed a lot and the crops in the fields have not grown well. Several families have gone hungry and have to dig wild vegetables every day to fill their stomachs. With an output of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu, everyone can have enough food and have the strength to work.

Arrange the villagers to give money and goods in exchange, so as to catch up with the planting and harvest can be achieved in a few months.

Haoyue knew that as long as someone spread the good seeds, someone would plant them. After a few years, the old seeds would be replaced with high-yield seeds, and people all over the country would no longer be hungry, and families would no longer have to sell their children and be separated, which would have completed half of the task.

The mother wolf drove the grown-up Dashan out and came to Haoyue alone. She kept Dashan in the yard as a guard dog. He looked very similar to a dog, so no one could recognize him as a wolf, unless they were hunters. Some people would bark in advance to prevent outsiders from breaking in, and also to greet the village chief in advance.

At the age of twelve, he studied at home and read the Four Books and Five Classics. He was recommended by someone to enroll in the county academy. One of the teachers took a liking to him and took him in as an apprentice, where he learned calligraphy and painting from behind.

When she was fifteen, her teacher said that she could take the examination for a scholar. After being recommended by the academy, more than a dozen of them took the examination. At the entrance of the county government, the things they brought with them were checked. In the first examination, they only needed to read the Four Books and Five Classics silently to know the answers, and the questions were not difficult. The second examination on the second day required them to understand the meaning of the questions. A group of students with insufficient knowledge were selected, and the remaining students continued to take the final examination. A small number of students from the academy had already been selected. Most of them failed because of nervousness or other reasons.

It was the last day of the exam. Haoyue was fully prepared and was already waiting at the door.

The last exam of the day was poetry writing.

The requirement for writing poems is the Spring and Autumn Period, which has various meanings. Those who misunderstand it may fail the exam.

Haoyue looked at the people around him wailing and thinking about the problem. After thinking for a while, he wrote a poem directly. According to the county magistrate's usual behavior and the court's policy for this year, it is very likely that it has other meanings because of the drought in recent years.

A poem was written directly on the tribute paper to illustrate that the weather this year is bad and the harvest next year is not big. It is a metaphor for the style of the ancient people in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After the exams, I went to the teacher's house and wrote down the answers to the three exams for the teacher to review.

Master He looked at the answer written by his apprentice and was very satisfied. He told her to go home and wait for the result.

Haoyue returned home and slowly cleaned up the household items, and started to cook. Since she was in poor health, she never ate coarse grains, only refined grains. She had a light diet and loved spicy food, so she gave up spicy and heavy flavors. Slowly, over time, she got used to it.

Some of the things in the house were firewood bought from the villagers, and some daily necessities were brought back from the county. Clothes were bought from the clothing store. She was used to being alone and didn't like to trouble others. The people in the village were more grateful, and sometimes they would help fetch water and chop firewood, all without asking for money, and even if they were paid, they would not turn around and run away. Some unmarried boys would always look at her shyly and smile when they passed by her house. Sometimes they would even try to approach and talk to her. Haoyue always politely avoided the boys.

Three days later, the government office began to post notices, and Haoyue's name was listed at the top.

The news spread in the village that Haoyue passed the examination and Village Chief Zhang came to congratulate her and brought a basket of eggs. He insisted that she take it. He also asked her to eat a few eggs every day to nourish her body. She was too thin. He also said that every household would come to her house to give her gifts in the next few days, so she must take it as a token of their appreciation.

Haoyue was very grateful for Zhangjiacun's usual care. Sometimes when she was sick and weak, the two acres of land were weeded and cultivated by nearby neighbors. I don't know who helped, but they usually helped without saying anything. In the autumn harvest, before she came to her senses, they had already harvested it and put it in the yard. Aunt Zhang next door lived alone out of pity for her and was relatively young. She also took good care of her in life. She helped with chopping wood and fetching water. Her husband often helped her with sewing and mending.

During this period, if the gifts you receive are not important things, you will accept some food and drinks, but refuse everything else.

After the teacher explained the requirements for the next exam, I went to the county middle school to register.

After three days of examinations, my body and heart couldn't bear sitting in a small room for a long time.

After coming out, I didn’t wait long and went straight to the clinic to see a doctor.

It was Doctor Zhang, whom she had known before, who took her pulse and treated her.

Doctor Zhang felt her pulse skillfully, and after a while he picked up a pen to write a prescription. He signaled the medicine boy next to him to take the prescription and go to the front to get the medicine.

"You can't overwork yourself, and the exams will be more and more rigorous. If your heart is overloaded, it will cause palpitations." Doctor Zhang looked at her worriedly. She was so diligent, so good at studying, and so helpful to the people. Because of her high-quality seeds, many nearby villages and towns started to plant them, and there were basically no people who starved to death in the past few years. I hope her body will get better, but heart disease, after all, there is no prescription or method to cure it. You can only control the disease and not overwork.

"Doctor Zhang, I know." Yue knew that her body was just unavoidable to suffer from illness, and as long as it was not an accident, her body would not have any problems. It would present as a heart disease that was difficult to cure, accompanied by palpitations.

"I knew my mission from birth. I established my heart for the world, my life for the people, continued the teachings of the saints, and brought peace to the world. My name was also given to me by the world."

"The bright moon is in the sky, shining on the world. This is my meaning."

Doctor Zhang didn't know what to feel. He just thought that God was blind and gave her a broken body. He just wanted to find a way to cure her heart palpitations.

The doctor and Haoyue, who were treating the patient, did not notice the gaze of the person coming to the door.

Liu Lan looked at the person inside with a complicated expression. He knew that this person was his younger sister. He didn't know it a few days ago until he woke up at night with a hideous face. He was reborn and returned to ten years ago. Thinking of what happened in his previous life, hatred filled his chest. It was his fault. He replaced his younger sister and got retribution. It was Liu Yu. The whole family had never offended her and spoiled her desperately. Some good clothes and food were given to her first. Thinking that for the sake of glory and wealth, she actually married his younger brothers to those wealthy officials and even killed her own younger sister.

In the previous life, the whole country and even the people attacked their family, and the third princess even abandoned her fourth brother.

Xiaomei did a lot of good things for the people, and she saved the people of the country from starvation. Many people built temples for her. Even in poor places, many temples were built for her, and incense was constantly burning every day.
