Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chen Zexi saw that his friends were busy with their own things, so he could only follow behind the fourth brother. "I've done all your work, so what are you doing?"

The fourth child smiled and said, "Brother Awang, I have a lot to do. I also have to clean the chicken coop, weed the vegetable patch, and fertilize. I've finished everything I need to do this morning, and in the afternoon I have to go to Brother Shenghui's place to learn how to read."

"What did you say? You still want to learn to read?"

Chen Zexi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. In this remote place, this girl actually had to learn to read?

Not to mention how expensive the pens, ink, paper and inkstones used for studying are, do these girls have the money to hire a teacher?

The fourth child said proudly, "Of course, we have been learning for half a month."

"Where did you hire the teacher?"

What kind of teacher would come to this remote place?

The fourth child said proudly, "Brother Shenghui, the son of the old village chief, is a student. He can teach us how to read."

"Oh."

It's not easy to raise a student in this place, but what are these girls learning to read for? They don't study.

"It's already hard for you to have enough food to eat, why waste your time learning to read? Wouldn't it be better to use that little time to grow more vegetables?"

Little Lao Si answered every question: "Mother said that learning benefits oneself. No matter where we are in the future, the knowledge we learn is ours and no one else can take it away from us.

And my mother said that now that we have you, after we hand over the farm work to you, we will have more time to study."

Little Lao Si handed the chicken feed he had mixed to Chen Zexi, "Brother Awang, add some wheat bran and some tender grass and mix them together, then you can feed the chickens and ducks."

"Oh."

Chen Zexi took the chicken feed handed to him by Xiao Laosi and poured it into the chicken coop.

"Awang, now that the chickens are fed, come and wash the dishes."

On the other side, Pomegranate placed the bowl in a large basin filled with hot water.

Chen Zexi was stunned. Didn't they just feed the animals? Why did they have to do the dishes themselves?

Shi Liu put her hands on her hips and said, "My mother said that starting from tomorrow, all the work of washing dishes and clothes will be handed over to you. She said that you are the only man in the family and have the greatest strength, so these jobs are most suitable for you.

I’ll leave it to you then…Brother Awang…”

When Chen Zexi heard that he was the only man in the family and the strongest one, he felt that he had never been valued so much in his family. His father would only scold him for being useless, eating for free, and being a prodigal son. But here, he was treated as the most important person in the family.

Now everyone in this room depends on me, and I am here to rescue them.

He puffed out his chest and said, "Leave the physical work to me. You girls are weak, so the hard work should naturally be left to the men."

Shi Liu snorted coldly, looking at this rich young master who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world.

"Then please."

Chen Zexi was very satisfied with Shi Liu's compliment.

Taohua, who was squatting on the ground, raised a smile and smeared sand on the dishes. Chen Zexi walked over.

"How did you get sand and gravel on the bowl?"

He has to wash these dishes later.

Taohua smiled and said, "Brother Awang, don't you use sand and stones to remove grease when washing dishes at home? Or do you use wood ash?

There are a lot of sand and stones on our mountain, so we use the sand and stones to remove the oil, and then rinse the dishes with clean water.

These dishes have been degreased, so just rinse them with water from the basin."

In the house, Yang Xiuying was watching everything that happened in the yard, and Shi Liu walked in.

"Mother, look at him, he has delicate skin and tender flesh, he doesn't look like a child from a poor family at all."

Xiuying sat in the rocking chair in the house and said slowly: "No matter where he comes from, as long as he works in this family, he will be an extra laborer.

He earns his food through his own labor, which is fair to both of us. Remember to call him along when you plant the Gastrodia elata. Later, call Taohua in; I have something to discuss with you."

In the evening, a spring rain began to fall, and spring rain was as precious as oil.

Yang Xiuying stayed in the inner room, looking through the window at the mountains and land outside that were wet with rain. She felt full of security at the moment, as the spring plowing season was approaching.

"Mother, Awang and his sisters have already gone to bed."

"We built him a separate bed, but he still disliked it. If he had come a month earlier, he would have had to live in a cave."

Taohua and Shiliu came in. Xiuying sat on the bed, holding the number of milk apples and bracken she had purchased in the past.

Xiuying asked her two daughters to sit down beside her and said softly, "The amount of milk apples and bracken we buy is gradually decreasing. Although the villagers are very hardworking, the season for picking milk apples and bracken is almost over.

Moreover, spring plowing is about to come, and every household will be busy then, and we will also have important things to do.

So now we have to mobilize the villagers to pick as much as possible before the spring plowing. I plan to hand over the black truffles and wild mushrooms as well.

There are not many black truffles in the mountains now, but they are very expensive among treasures, costing 560 yuan per catty. One catty of black truffles can be exchanged for two catties of rice. If everyone works hard, the income should be good.

There are many varieties of wild mushrooms in the mountains, and the prices vary. Although they can't compare to black truffles, if we exchange one pound of wild mushrooms for one pound of rice, we still make a profit."

The people in the village depend on the mountains for their livelihood, and everyone can distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, so there is no need to worry about picking poisonous mushrooms. Although Xiuying doesn't know them, the system knows them.

There are many mountains and forests in Futian Village. Now it is the spring rain season, and I believe a lot of wild mushrooms will emerge after a spring rain.

Before the spring plowing, the entire Futian Village will be busy again. It is a good thing for both people and oneself to help the hardworking people in the village get rich together.

After deciding on the amount of rice to be exchanged, Yang Xiuying instructed her two daughters to notify everyone one by one early the next morning. She specifically explained that the families who had previously led the riot were not on the exchange list, as well as Yang Xiuying's mother-in-law's family.

Yang Xiuying looked at the breeze and drizzle outside the window. She would plant rice after the harvest and then build a house after the rice was planted. She had been to the city several times to sell rice paper and now had more than one hundred taels of silver in her hand, which was enough to build a bigger yard. After the house was built, she would bring her parents and Qingfeng over, and the family would naturally live together.

After the mother and her two daughters discussed the purchase, the room became quiet and Xiuying handed the two books she bought from the space to Taohua and Shiliu.

"Take these two books and read them carefully. Don't let anyone else see them."

Taohua respectfully took over the Thirty-Six Strategies

"Yes, mother."

Shi Liu takes over Wing Chun

"Yes, mother."
