Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Qing Ning saw the shock on her family's faces. They didn't come back to their senses for a long time, and she didn't urge them to digest the information on their own. After a while, she heard Father Chen's trembling voice: "Lian Peng, you want all the brothers and sisters to go to school? Are you kidding?"

"Of course not, Father." Qing Ning answered firmly.

"Studying is very expensive. Not to mention the writing brushes, inkstones, and other things, not everyone can afford them."

"Father, don't worry about money. Our whole family will work hard and make a lot of money."

Qing Ning knew that studying was expensive even in modern times, let alone in ancient times.

"But, I am already too old to receive enlightenment, so the teacher in the school probably won't accept me." Qingsong's eyes dimmed again when he thought of this.

"And me, my eldest brother and I are only two years apart." Qing Wu echoed, adding, "Although Bo'er and Yu'er started school a little late, it shouldn't be difficult for them to enroll in school."

Several elders also agreed that the child was too old and the teacher at the school might not be willing.

"What's the big deal? So what if you're old? It's never too late to learn. The main thing is whether you want to learn or not." So what if you start learning late? As long as you are willing to work hard and endure hardships, why can't you succeed?

"Of course we want to, but we're also worried that we won't learn well and that we'll let down your efforts."

Going to school and studying is a luxury for many people, so it is normal for them to feel confused and afraid.

"You don't need to bear too much. As long as you study hard, if you really can't understand it, we won't study for you. If you can understand it, we will sell everything we have to let you study." Old Mrs. Chen felt that her granddaughter was right. She didn't dare to think about it before, but now that she has a way to make money, she naturally dares to think about it and do it.

"Your grandma is right. Don't set too many ambitions for yourself. Being able to read and write will give you more opportunities to make a living even if you fail to pass the imperial examination." The whole family felt that this suggestion was correct.

"Brothers, don't overthink it. Studying doesn't necessarily lead to the imperial examinations. Being able to read and understand is also a rare skill. But remember, be a good person before doing anything. When studying, you should first understand reason and be grateful. Don't be frivolous, don't waste your time, and don't give up halfway. If you really can't read, don't force yourself to learn a few words."

After listening to the sister's words, several people were deeply moved, and they secretly resolved not to disappoint their family's expectations, nor to neglect themselves.

"We will study and never give up no matter how difficult it is." The voices of several people were sonorous and powerful.

Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this. As long as they can endure the hardship and are willing to learn how to be a family member, they will definitely support them.

"My eldest sister, second sister and I also go to school." The sound of lemon milk sizzling was heard again, and this time everyone was shocked and puzzled.

The Great Xia Dynasty was not as harsh on women as later generations, but few women could enter this school, and only wealthy families would hire teachers to teach women.

"Little sister, do you know that there is no example of girls enrolled in school? Not to mention that there is no school to accept them, even if we hire a teacher, I'm afraid no one will be willing." Qingke didn't want to learn to read and write, but it was impossible for girls to go to school, and there were no female teachers.

"Yes, it's not easy for a girl from Lotus Pod to go to school." Father Chen didn't want to discourage his daughter, but that was the fact.

"It's not the same as before, so why can't we be the same? When I make money in the future, I will open a school just for girls." Listening to Qing Ning's bold words and looking at the determined and complacent look on her face, although everyone couldn't accept it for a while, they didn't object anymore.

"Let the brothers study first, and then come back to teach us. If we get the opportunity later, it will be our good fortune."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You must study hard. If you don't, you will suffer the consequences when you come back. Do you hear me?" Old Mrs. Chen acted with the dignity of an elder and was very serious.

"Got it. We will study hard." Several children answered seriously in unison.

"The workshop at home will ask for help tomorrow, and I will go to the school in town to ask the day after tomorrow." Father Chen said.

"After the workshop is built, we need to find some helpers. Can you think of any good candidates?" Speaking of the problem of manpower in the workshop, they are already very busy now. The people who have helped in the past few days are all those who are familiar with our family.

"How many people are needed? Do you have any idea in mind?" Everyone looked at Qing Ning subconsciously.

"Ovens, warehouses, mushroom cultivation, mushroom harvesters, and delivery people. Right now, our brothers have to go to school, so grandma, aunt, and mom have to focus on harvesting mushrooms first. We have to take advantage of this time to harvest as many as we can. It's hard for my eldest sister to spare the time, so she must focus on the snacks. My second sister and I are responsible for everyone's logistics, and we are really short of manpower." Qingning thought that even though there were many people in the family, she couldn't take care of them all.

"And your father? Why did you miss me?" Father Chen was amused. After counting around, he found that he was not there.

"Father, Uncle Changshui has taken on the task of renovating the ancestral home of our family. You can't quit halfway. If you don't do it, where will Uncle Changshui find the help? If you delay the work of the family, won't you feel upset?"

After hearing what Qingning said, Father Chen gave up the idea of ​​quitting his job. He couldn't hide what he was thinking from his little girl.

"How long will it take to repair the ancestral home of the official?" asked Old Mrs. Chen.

"It's expected to take another month or so. This time, not only are they repairing it, but they've also built a new courtyard. I heard from the manager that the owner is old and wants to return to his hometown to retire."

"You go take care of your own business first. We will take care of the family affairs. Your family is kind and the land we rent in our village is not taxed as much as other wealthy merchants."

Tan was grateful for the kindness of the wealthy family, and so were the villagers.

"Yes, we will take care of the household chores." Old Mrs. Chen was also pleased to see her daughter-in-law Zhien.

"Father, you don't have to worry. Even if you go home, there won't be enough manpower. I want to ask Uncle Wu Yi to be our family's accountant, to help manage the money transactions and also manage the workshop. He can read and from looking at the diary of the past two days, there's nothing wrong with it. He's from the same village, so I'm sure he'll be relieved that he knows him well." After saying that, he waited for other people's opinions.

"I think Brother Yi is a good person. There are not many literate people in the village, and he is hardworking and willing to work. He doesn't feel tired after helping out these past two days. He is a kind-hearted person." Old Mrs. Chen thought this suggestion was very good, and she recognized Chen Wuyi's character.

"Okay, then let's ask Wu Yi to be the chief accountant." Everyone had no objection.

"Look for the women in the village who are hardworking, clean, and don't gossip or stir up trouble. Please recommend a few of them to me."

Where there are people, there are disputes, let alone where there are many women. Three women is a drama. If you hire someone who is troublesome, then don't work. There will be fewer troubles, right?

"He Xiang and Hong Xiu from the second master's family are both good. Although He Xiang is dull, she is busy and efficient at work, and she doesn't talk much. Although Hong Xiu is a bit aggressive, she is also good at work and is not a gossipy person." Tan thought for a while and mentioned the two daughters-in-law of the second master's family.

"Yes, they are both good. Xiaoyu from my uncle's family is also good, but if we invite Xiaoyu and not Xinghua, there will be trouble in their family." Old Mrs. Chen naturally wanted to take care of her own family, but her eldest brother had Erliang and a daughter, and Xinghua was from the youngest son's family, so she was really narrow-minded.

"Mom's concerns are correct, but the two she gave birth to are actually good." Li thought that Xinghuasheng's two twins were both girls, and they really didn't look like their mother at all.

The adults sighed again, thank goodness that their family was not like that.
