Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

The next afternoon.

Qinjia Village.

Yun Jing returned home in a swaying carriage.

The construction of the house at home was in full swing, and Yun Jing was discovered by Yun Zhenzhen as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Jing, you're back so soon?" Yun Zhenzhen walked forward happily.

"You're back, aunt." Yun Jing looked at her with a smile, took out the remaining silver from his pocket and handed it to her.

They had spent a lot of money on the road these two days, and they had to stay in an inn when they got to the county. Yun Jing was reluctant to spend the money his aunt gave him, so he took out his own savings and spent fifty cents to buy a large bunk bed.

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the five taels of silver in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that the child was saving money for himself.

"How did you do on the test?"

"Not bad." Yun Jing replied softly, "We can go to the county to hear the results in five days."

"Okay, don't just stand there, come in." Yun Zhenzhen greeted with a smile.

Yun Jing rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work: "Then I'll go help make the adobe bricks."

Yun Zhenzhen stopped him and said, "There are so many adults at home, why do you, a child, need to work? Take your brothers and sisters to school. They have no motivation to study in the past two days since you left."

Yun Jing put down his hand and nodded obediently.

Building houses is important, but teaching them to read is equally important.

A few people set up a small table on the stone slabs in the backyard and started studying.

This time when he came back, Yun Jing officially became a teacher for a group of children. He wanted to teach them as much knowledge as possible before he left, so that even if he left, they could go directly to the school in the town to study.

He stood at the top, and the children below sat on their own small stools, listening with great interest, and following him, nodding their heads and reciting the Three Character Classic over and over again.

Qin Li, who was making adobe bricks in the yard, was not idle either. He kept working and recited the scriptures.

The sounds of reading could be heard one after another in the backyard. Yun Zhenzhen walked over and wanted to test the children's math skills.

"Xiao Nan, let me test you first. What is the sum of one thousand five hundred and one thousand seven hundred?"

Xiao Nan had difficulty counting on his fingers, but Qin Wen got the answer subconsciously.

The other children followed suit and added one by one, counting with their fingers. When they found that they didn't have enough, they borrowed the fingers of several friends around them, but it still didn't seem to be enough...

Yun Jing looked at this scene and couldn't help but find it a little funny. He walked into the inner room calmly and took out an abacus from the box. He bought it when he passed by the town.

This exam also made him realize the importance of arithmetic, and he planned to teach his younger siblings how to use an abacus when he returned.

As soon as the abacus appeared, it attracted the attention of a group of children. They had seen this thing when they followed their parents to the town. The shopkeepers of those restaurants and shops would carry one with them. There were many small beads on it. They could calculate the amount of money by moving it up and down with their hands.

"From now on, I will teach you how to use an abacus to count, and you don't have to count with your fingers anymore." Yun Jing said loudly.

"Great." Upon hearing this, the children cheered.

Yun Zhenzhen also quickly gave up her seat, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Yun Jing.

It’s great to have a nephew with real talent and knowledge!

I taught the children arithmetic myself. Awen was smart and understood it quickly, but Ali and Xiaonan found it difficult to understand.

Now, with an abacus, we can quickly get the answer to thousands of numbers.

When Qin Li heard the cheers from the backyard, he hurriedly put down the work in his hands and ran to the backyard to listen to the class.

He wants to learn how to do business in the future, so knowing how to use an abacus is essential.

Yun Jing placed the abacus on the table and spoke calmly, "Let's first get to know all the structures on the abacus. The abacus includes basic calculation techniques such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division..."

A group of children were crowded together to learn. Qin Wen even touched a handful of abacus beads, which was a very strange feeling. Then he looked at Yun Jing with eyes full of respect.

Yun Zhenzhen also stood aside and listened. After all, there were still many things she didn't know. If she learned more now, she would have an excuse to use it in the future.

Several people were studying enthusiastically here. Suddenly, Yun Zhenzhen saw a figure eavesdropping at the corner. When she looked closely, she saw Li Yang's little face.

"Auntie." Li Yang scratched his head embarrassedly, his face showing the embarrassment of being caught: "I just want to listen to Brother Yun's teaching. I will... go out to work right away..."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at him and said softly, "If you want to learn along, just go over and listen."

Li Yang blinked his eyes and said with difficulty: "But I can't afford it, and I don't have anything at home to bring over..."

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and patted his head: "You come here to work for your aunt every day. If I accept your things again, the villagers will scold me. Can you bear to see your aunt being scolded?"

"I don't want to." Li Yang shook his head blankly.

"Then hurry in."

Hearing this, Li Yang happily rushed to the backyard and joined the study team.

The group of children were all exposed to an abacus for the first time, and they kept pestering Yun Jing to talk until it was completely dark.

night.

After the workers finished their meal, they were about to go home. Old Zhang waited until Yun Zhenzhen was free, then he leaned over and said awkwardly, "Big sister, I think your blueprint is really beautiful. I was wondering if others could follow this blueprint when they ask me to do a job..."

The more Old Zhang spoke, the more guilty he felt. After all, this was someone else's property, and it might not be very nice for him to speak so abruptly. He immediately wanted to forget it.

"It's okay, Uncle Zhang, just take it and use it." Yun Zhenzhen agreed readily.

After spending these few days together, she also discovered that Uncle Zhang was a very honest person, worked carefully, and the projects he did were very much to her liking, so she was willing to make friends with him.

Furthermore, she knew that Old Zhang's family was not well-off, and he built a house for her without asking for an exorbitant price, so she decided to help if she could.

When Old Zhang saw that she agreed so readily, he became even more frightened.

"How about this? If someone wants to use this blueprint later, I'll sell it to them, and we'll split the money in half. What do you think?"

"Okay." Yun Zhenzhen agreed with a smile: "You decide. Whatever is convenient for you, I trust you."

"Okay, okay." Old Zhang packed up his things and prepared to go home with a smile on his face.

From time to time, people from the village passed by and took a look at Yun Zhenzhen's new house, feeling extremely envious.

Although it has not been completed yet, the entire courtyard has taken shape and looks large and spacious.

The backyard is our own vegetable garden, where a large area of ​​vegetables grows tenderly, and the poultry in the yard are all kept clean.

Building a new house is a big event in the countryside.
