Farming and reading family

She wasn't sure whether Chen Ke failed the exam because of his lack of talent or because the exam was unfair.

But judging from his attitude, it's not good.

"You are a scholar, how could you not know that there is a sequence in learning and that each profession has its own specialization." Gao E looked at Chen Ke seriously. "You are not good at these things in the village."

"Besides, if you hadn't planned to stockpile grain and noticed the problem with Yutou Dam in advance and alerted Uncle Zheng, who knows what the situation would be like in the village now."

Chen Ke felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He thought that this was not his ability, but that he just knew it earlier than others. "Do you really think so?"

"Of course it's true." Gao E looked into Chen Ke's eyes. "Besides, we are all family, and everyone has different strengths. In a critical moment like this, if it weren't for my family, would my child and I be safe?"

"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded excitedly.

No one doesn't like to be recognized.

Chen Ke never achieved success in his academic career and had a deep-rooted inferiority complex. Now that he was recognized by his wife, he was overjoyed.

"Then my lady, have a good rest. I'm going to study." Chen Ke said happily.

"Don't read too late, be careful of your eyes and body." Gao E warned.

Chen Ke agreed and went out.

Gao E smiled as she watched Chen Ke leave. It is said that a man remains a boy until he dies. Even after being reborn, he is still like a child.

Fortunately, he is not a conservative person and is not foolishly filial. He knows how to protect her at the critical moment.

You can't ask too much of a man, expecting all the advantages to be concentrated in one person and for him to love you wholeheartedly.

We are all ordinary people. It is normal to have some minor problems, but it is not okay to have major problems.

However, Gao E is not in a romantic mood now, at most they are just living together.

Chen Ke and his friends lived in the third cave. Seeing Chen Ke reading, Chen Fansheng was very pleased and signaled the children to keep quiet.

Chen Fansheng was reluctant to eat lunch as he was cold and hungry. Song was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to move.

They had planned to find something to eat in the afternoon, but everything edible around them had been looted. Their family was not good at going into the mountains, so they didn't find anything.

When Zheng Fengan assigned them a cave to live in, Song and Chen Baolai were very picky, so that the three of them can only stay at the entrance of the largest cave, where it is very cold at night.

Chen Fan hesitated for a long time before giving the silver to Song: "Go to Chen Ke's house to buy some food and ask him if he wants to sell his bedding."

Song Shi felt more energetic when she heard Chen Fancai say this: "How many bowls should I buy this time?"

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment: "Two bowls."

Song felt a little disappointed, but she still went there obediently.

When they arrived at the Chen family's house, it was Chen Qing who opened the door. Song's eyes lit up. She felt that Chen Qing was easy to talk to. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Qing turned around and greeted her.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm here to buy food." Chen Qing said and left.

Song's words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

"Don't ask for extra money when it's not meal time anymore." Lei said unhappily.

Song's face darkened for a moment: "You are selling food, not giving it away for free."

"I'll sell it to you when I'm in a good mood." Lei didn't indulge her at all. "How many bowls do you want?"

Song thought that the head of the family would at most scold her if she bought three bowls herself: "Two bowls." In the end, she did not dare to disobey the head of the family.

Lei sneered: "There's no place for you, right?"

Song changed the subject: "Do you sell your quilts?"

"We don't even have enough for our own family." Lei said he would not sell it.

If they hadn't made a fire in the cave and kept it warm, they would not have had enough bedding.

Lei filled two bowls of rice in a bamboo tube for her: "One hundred coins."

Song counted the money repeatedly before giving it to Lei. She didn't dare give less as she might come back to buy more.

After giving the money, Song turned around and left.

She didn't dare buy more, but she thought it wouldn't be noticeable if she just took a couple of sips from a bowl.

So when she walked back, she took a sip from one side, and when she felt that there was not enough in the other side, she drank some more. She repeated this process until she returned to the cave, and only half of the bamboo tube was left in each of them.

She suddenly panicked and wondered whether she should find some water to add to it.

"Mom, you're back." Chen Baolai had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing his mother come back, he quickly walked over and grabbed a bamboo tube. "Why is there only so much?"

Song lowered her head and whispered, "Then Lei only served this little."

"No, I'm going to settle the score with her." Chen Bao said and left.

"Hey..." Mrs. Song hurriedly pulled her son. "You know Mrs. Lei's temper. If we offend her, our family may have nothing to eat in the future."

Chen Baolai's arrogance subsided a lot after hearing his mother say this.

At this time, Chen Fan came over, took the bamboo tube, took a look at it, and then looked at the corner of Song's mouth.

Although the light from the fire in the cave was dim here, the soup reflected light, making it extremely clear.

"Greedy woman." Chen Fancai slapped Song in the face.

The slap was so loud and crisp that it made Song stagger, attracting the attention of the people in the cave. However, they only looked over for a moment and then continued to discuss around the fire.

Chen Fan took a look at their reactions and then sat back to where they were, carrying the bamboo tube.

On this day, he finally realized that everyone in the village was trying to curry favor with Chen Fansheng's family and was deliberately ignoring them.

Chen Baolai finished drinking the dumpling soup before he started complaining about his mother, saying that she was fine, so why did she drink so much?

Listening to her son's complaints, Mrs. Song also blamed herself for being greedy. She wouldn't die if she drank less.

The flood receded after three days. The sun was very strong that day. The village was filled with silt and there was no trace of the village at all. Even if the villagers wanted to go home, they could not find the place.

After Chen Ke went to see it, he sat in front of the cave without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Gao E saw that the sun was shining brightly and there was no wind, so she came out to get some fresh air.

"How can you come out while you're in confinement?" Jiang turned her head and saw Gao E and shouted exaggeratedly.

"It's okay if there's no wind." Gao E explained.

"No, no, it's not right for you to go out during confinement." Jiang pushed Gao E into the house.

Seeing Gao E frown, Chen Ke hurriedly stood up to block his mother's way: "I'll help her."

Jiang glared at her son, thinking that how could a man do such a thing, but Gao was in confinement, so she couldn't say anything and went to do her work.

"Sit inside the door and I'll open it." Chen Ke thought of a compromise.

Gao E didn't want to argue about this matter, so she sat inside the door where she could get some sun.

"I see that you look worried when you come back. Did something happen?" Gao E brought up this again.

Chen Ke hesitated for a long time. "Do you think it would be better if I clearly stated in advance that Yutou Dam would burst, so that people could be prepared?"

Gao E was inexplicably excited when she heard Chen Ke say this, wondering if Chen Ke was going to confess to him that he had been reborn.
