Farming and reading family

This matter was originally scheduled to last three years, but who could have imagined that the situation in the village would change so drastically in just one year.

Now the summer harvest is approaching. Although the land is planted together, each household is only looking at the crops in their own field.

By the time the house is built and everyone moves into their own home, it will be obviously impossible to expect them to work together to do these things.

"Then let's disband." Gao E said calmly.

Chen Qing looked at Gao E in surprise. He always thought that Gao E really wanted to form a village collective. She had suffered so much for this, but she said it so easily.

"The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division. Our village collective has always been helping each other to overcome difficulties. If the villagers feel that the difficulties have passed, it is normal for them to go their separate ways." Gao E said with a smile.

Chen Qing laughed at himself. He was not as open-minded as his second brother and his wife.

"Besides, if we use documents to force them to continue the village collective, some hatred might arise." Gao E was worried.

Chen Qing nodded: "Now that you put it that way, I feel more confident."

"It's just that this is something that needs to be done in person, so Big Brother has to come."

"Okay." Chen Qing agreed, although he knew that Uncle Zheng would directly consult Gao E if he had any problems now.

Since he no longer cared so much about the village collective, Chen Qing felt a lot more relaxed and was more at ease than before.

In the evening, Gao E asked Chen Jie to find Zheng Xiaoshun and Peng Can. The three of them acted a little sneaky.

"Second sister-in-law, just tell me if you have anything to say." Zheng Xiaoshun spoke first.

"The clams I raised have given birth to many small clams. You should pour them into the pond I have dug later. Don't let others know." Gao E said directly.

Before Chen Jie and Peng Can could react, Zheng Xiaoshun's eyes lit up.

"Are they the river clams that contain pearls?" Zheng Xiaoshun asked in a low voice.

Chen Jie and Peng Can immediately realized that it was a rare item.

Gao E nodded and smiled: "As long as we raise enough..."

The three people suddenly realized and became cautious.

In fact, no one knows how many pearls the villagers found at the time. Maybe some of them kept them and hoped to sell them for a good price.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we won't tell anyone." Chen Jie promised.

"Let's not talk about it for now." Gao E saw their cautious expressions and said, "There's only so much now. There are definitely no pearls. If someone gets them, wouldn't it be wasted?"

The three people nodded.

The jar where Gao E raised river clams had been in the yard all along. No one doubted her decision to clean it out, and then Chen Jie and the other three picked up the cleaned clams and dumped them into the clam pond.

They avoided the villagers and poured all the clams into it in two trips.

Even though they didn't sleep all night, the three of them were still very energetic.

During the day, Gao E asked Qin and others to clean the large jars, and it was time to make kimchi with the ones they had bought earlier.

Too much salt is used in pickling vegetables. It is convenient to make and eat kimchi at this time. The peppers have also grown, so they will taste good if pickled together.

"Look, sister-in-law, you take Yu Ning out every day. The sun is so strong that Yu Ning will be tanned black." Lei complained.

Gao E felt that Lei's opinion of her sister-in-law was getting stronger and stronger: "Forget it, that's her sister-in-law's business, and it's also Yu Ning's own business."

Lei felt that this was the bad thing about her second sister-in-law. She respected other people's choices too much, even if they were wrong. She would respect them: "We are all sisters-in-law. Second sister-in-law, when there is a suitable opportunity, please talk to the eldest sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law is older than us. She has been living like this for so many years and still thinks she is living a good life. What can we say?" Gao E refused.

She can help others, but also respect their fate.

The interweaving of people is different.

Some people will achieve mutual success and help each other grow when they meet, and help each other when needed.

Some people call it interference, and no matter what the final result is, it will be awkward.

Lei thought so too.

She wouldn't have said this in the past, but now that everyone is together every day and life is good, she also wants her sister-in-law to be less petty.

They were chatting when they heard voices outside. They stopped chatting and looked towards the door.

Uncle Zheng brought Chen Xiangyue and his son to the door of the Chen family.

"Scholar's wife, Mr. Chen is here to see you." Zheng Fengan called out at the door.

Gao E stood up and walked to the door: "My husband is out visiting friends."

Chen Xiangyue looked at Gao E and saw that he looked calm, without any of the restraint of a country woman. "It's okay, it's not a big deal. I can discuss it with Madam Chen first."

Gao E saw that Chen Xiangyue had a good attitude and gave in: "Then Uncle Zheng, come and listen. You can give me some advice."

The main reason is that the Chen family is now composed of women, and Gao E is not convenient for Chen Xiangyue and others to come in alone.

Zheng Fengan nodded and went in together.

Chen Tao followed his father into the yard and said with disdain: "It's so shabby."

Chen Xiangyue glared at Chen Tao, who looked unconvinced.

Gao E glanced at Chen Tao. He looked like Chen Xiangyue's son. But wasn't Chen Xiangyue's son studying in the state capital? Why did he come back so suddenly?

Chen Tao looked at Gao E provocatively, and Gao E responded with contempt, which made Chen Tao very angry.

"It's like this..." Chen Xiangyue directly stated his purpose.

What he meant was that he wanted Jin Chao and his son to become Guan Yu's disciples, and all of Jin Chao's expenses would be paid by the Chen family from then on.

Gao E smiled apologetically: "Although I don't know how Master Chen knew that Master Guan wanted to accept Jin Chao as his disciple, but when Jin Chao's mother left home, she left enough silver for Jin Chao to grow up."

Chen Xiangyue was stunned for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether Gao E had lied to him because he hadn't heard about this matter. "I'm sorry for being so abrupt."

Gao E glanced at Chen Tao, who was looking sarcastic. He wasn't very polite to his father either. "I don't think your son is suitable for an old scholar like Master Guan."

Chen Xiangyue looked at Gao E in surprise. He knew that there was a conflict between Tao and Master Guan, but it was inappropriate to directly slander an old master like this.

"I guess your son is thinking about pulling out Master Guan's beard, what to scare Master Guan with, and what to do to make Master Guan angry." Gao E looked at Chen Tao.

Chen Tao felt a little guilty after his thoughts were guessed.

Chen Xiangyue felt a little ashamed when he knew his son would really do such a thing.

"If Mr. Chen really wants to do good for your son, he can first find a teacher to change his temperament, which will benefit him for the rest of his life." Gao E suggested.

Chen Xiangyue instantly felt like he had met a close friend. He actually just wanted to change his son's temperament so that he could live a happy life.

But he didn't know how to do it, so he could only find the best teacher for his son within his ability, thinking that it would be better for his son to be influenced by books.

Chen Tao, however, had a look of disdain on his face: "This is my temper, even the gods can't change it."
