Normally, when they see a wild boar, they will hide as far away as possible and dare not approach it. The wild boar is big and has two sharp fangs in its mouth. If it sees a person, it will turn red in the eyes and eat the person.

Only experienced hunters dare to confront wild boars.

Old Lady Liu added, "Everyone should come over when the time comes to share in the good fortune."

The villagers nodded and said that it was necessary, because it was a whole wild boar!

The Yuan family gave them a piece of meat the day before yesterday. For this reason, they will definitely come to the banquet three days later. Look at the taste, it’s very authentic. They are all looking forward to the banquet day.

The Yuan family is so capable, we have to interact with them more often.

In the afternoon, several women came to my house with corn cobs and started shelling them while chatting.

Now that the ears of corn in the fields have all been harvested, it is the off-season for farming. All you have to do is pay attention to the water in the fields. You won’t be bored staying at home.

They formed a team to come to the Yuan family to build relationships.

Old Mrs. Liu was very happy and came out with peanuts and melon seeds to treat them.

.........

Everyone who came was about the same age as Old Lady Liu.

As Mrs. Lin peeled the corn kernels, she looked at the plump, fair Yaoyao in Mrs. Liu's arms, feeling very fond of her. "Yaoyao should be two months old now, right?"

"No, he just turned one month old the day before yesterday. He eats a lot and grows fast. Look at how fat he is. I can hardly hold him."

Although Old Lady Liu said she was disgusted, she had a very happy smile on her face. She pinched Yaoyao's arm and lifted it up and down for fun, making Yaoyao giggle.

The women were all surprised. Only one month old? But it looked like it was more than two months old. And how could a one-month-old baby look so cute?

Look at those lively eyes, staring at you. Then when they see you looking at them, they will smile at you embarrassedly and hide their face in Old Lady Liu's arms.

"Your child is obviously smart. I remember that my kid was still a monkey when he was one month old. He ate and slept, slept and ate, and was stupid and couldn't laugh." Mrs. Zhang said.

Aunt Sun also smiled and said, "Ah, every child is different. I remember my sister-in-law's daughter-in-law's newborn daughter also loved to laugh. When she was just born, she smiled at everyone and had two dimples. She still loved to laugh when she grew up. Some babies just have this characteristic from the womb. They are so pleasing."

The others also nodded. What he said was true. Every child is different. Some children love to cry when they are born, and they cry when they are unhappy when they grow up. Some children love to laugh, and they always smile when they see people when they grow up. Some children do not cry or make trouble, and they become worry-free children when they grow up. However, no matter what the child is like, they are their own children, and they should accept whatever they are.

The whole afternoon passed by chatting like this.

In the evening, Lu Jiu, Xiao Ci, and Nanny Nan came to the door with some things, followed by Ali who was holding a jar of wine.

"Hey, it's enough if you guys are here, why are you bringing stuff with you?"

Old Mrs. Liu was unhappy. She had agreed to come to her house for dinner, so why did he send her food instead?

Nanny Nan smiled and said, "It's not something very expensive, just some cakes and candies for children."

"Aunt Liu, I'm sorry to bother you again tonight." Lu Jiu had a warm smile on his face.

Old Lady Liu waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this. The dishes are ready. Let's serve them quickly."

There were four side dishes on the table.

Braised pork offal, braised pork elbow, fried river fish, and braised spare ribs.

Everyone enjoyed the meal to their heart's content. The happiest person was Ali. He did not come to the mansion when Yaoyao was one month old, but stayed to watch the servants clean the house.

After a few drinks, the men became closer.

Lu Jiu looked at the boys playing in the yard after their meal and asked, "Guoping is ten years old now, right? Hasn't he started private school yet?"

Old Lady Liu replied, "I was originally planning to send him to a private school, but there was a three-year drought and no crops in the fields, so the idea of ​​sending him to a private school has been put off until now."

When Yuan Laosi heard this, he felt very guilty. If it weren't for his eldest brother and his wife, and his second brother and his wife, who worked for him, the boys in the family would have been able to go to private school if they had gritted their teeth.

He usually lived in the academy, and the children at home were not able to receive any education.

Lu Jiu glanced at Xiao Ci who was sitting upright on the chair and said, "I have found a scholar in my house to be my teacher. I thought that if I go to school alone, it will be too late. It would be better for us to go to school together so that we can have each other's company."

The most important thing is that Lu Jiu wants to repay the Yuan family for using the elixir to save Xiao Ci. Moreover, everyone in the Yuan family has a good character, and the younger ones are sensible children. He doesn't mind helping the Yuan family.

The Yuan family members looked at each other and said, "Master Scholar, is there such a good thing?"

Old Lady Liu dragged the three boys to Lu Jiu and said, "Why don't you hurry up and thank Master Lu!"

Guoping, Guoxing and Guowang were confused. They were having fun, so why did they have to go to school?

What's more, he went to school with the man who stole their sister. Isn't this murderous and heartbreaking?

Going to school means they have no freedom!

But with Old Lady Liu staring at them, they didn't dare to resist.

"Thank you, Master Lu."

Lu Jiu touched their heads and said with a gentle smile, "Study hard."

Old Lady Liu doesn’t expect them to learn very well, but at least they should be able to recognize words, right?

Thinking back, no matter how poor she and the old man were, they sent the boys in the family to private schools for one or two years, and then the old man taught them. Later, the fourth boy was good at studying and the teacher in the school praised him as a good seedling. Only then did she and the old man grit their teeth and let the fourth boy continue studying. What if the fourth boy did well?

What if you come back with the top scorer in the exam?

The next day, the Yuan family brought Shu Xiuli to the Lu Mansion to recognize the teacher.

The scholar was a man of about thirty years old. He was well-read and had a scholarly temperament. His every move was elegant.

After learning that the fourth son of the Yuan family was going to die next year, he was a little surprised and said that the fourth son of the Yuan family could come to him when he was free.

Old Mrs. Liu was very happy. This man had taken the exam before, and the fourth child could learn some experience from him so that he would have a better idea of ​​how to take the exam.

As for why the scholar didn't take the imperial examination, the Yuan family didn't think about it that way.

Time flies. Today is a sunny day with clouds floating in the sky and a warm breeze.

The Yuan family was extremely busy, especially Shen Chulan and Ye Wan in the kitchen, who were sweating profusely.

The third son's wife sat at the stove watching the fire leisurely. She added some fire and looked at the braised lamb bubbling in the pot and swallowed her saliva.

Yuan Laoer came in to help his wife cut meat, while Guoping was washing vegetables in the kitchen yard.

Before noon, villagers began to come to the door one after another, carrying things.

Old Mrs. Liu took out melon seeds and peanuts from the house to entertain the guests.

Families who bring their children here will give their children a piece of fried dough twist and a bowl of rice cake.

Old man Yuan finally held his precious granddaughter in his arms, and was happily holding her in his arms as he showed off to the other old men.
