My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Five taels of silver, and the remaining one tael of silver for the awning, the Wu family umbrella shop was also determined not to accept it.

He also asked a guy to push a cart to help deliver Si Muyan's awning to where she wanted to go.

When we arrived at the place, Song Erqiang was already there. He and his younger sister and brother were sitting there waiting for Si Muyan.

When they saw the new things appear, my younger sister and brother opened their mouths wide.

"Sister, what is this?"

"We'll put up the awning starting tomorrow, so if it rains lightly or moderately, we won't have to worry about getting wet."

But there was nothing we could do despite the strong winds and heavy rain.

After all, when it really rains and blows, very few people go out. Even if they have to go out, they go to places with shops, where they can really shelter from the wind and rain.

Song Erqiang was a dull boy who only knew how to obey orders and did not question them. Seeing Si Muyan bring a large object, he walked over, lifted the awning, and placed it on his ox cart.

There were originally two sets of folding tables and chairs on the ox cart, but now with a large awning put up on it, there was no place for the three of them to sit.

After looking around, no one could squeeze in.

Si Muyan scratched his head and said helplessly: "Let's walk."

My younger sisters and brothers didn't have any objections. They had accepted their fate, and it wasn't a bad thing that my eldest sister would occasionally come up with all kinds of strange ideas.

For example, the porridge dishes change every day, which attracts many customers to come every day to try new flavors.

Even if there were other porridge shops in the morning market, their business would not be as good as theirs.

Si Muyan returned home, looked up at the sky, and frowned.

It seems that her awning is very timely.

Si Xingzhi led a group of children back home. From far away, he could hear the children talking in unison, as if they were reciting nursery rhymes.

The children in the village are very clever and often make up doggerel poems that are catchy and interesting to read.

But most of them are insults, which sound very speechless.

Si Muyan originally thought that these children had made up some new curse words and were bullying other children. When they came closer, she heard that it was actually the Three Character Classic.

While carrying the car, I got stuck and heard the voice of my biological father Si Xingzhi.

"Filial to parents?"

The children said in unison: "What should be done!"

Si Muyan was so surprised that she turned around to look at Aunt Jin.

"What's going on? Didn't Dad go to work in the fields? Why is he reading the Three Character Classic with the kids?"

Aunt Jin sighed helplessly, "Master injured his waist while doing farm work a few days ago, and those people wouldn't let him work. He couldn't sit still, so he followed the children to pick up fallen grain, and they became familiar with each other after a while."

Si Muyan knew about this, and her younger sisters and brothers even laughed at their father because of it.

Aunt Jin said, "They were just doing some simple chores. I don't know what's wrong with the master, but he actually took the children to read the Three Character Classic. Now, wherever the master goes, the children follow him. Miss, listen, they have already memorized the verses about filial piety to parents, which is what they should do."

Si Muyan rubbed his forehead. After reciting such a long passage, he didn't know whether to say that it was because his father was a good teacher or because those kids were studious.

She suddenly remembered that when she first came here, Si Xingzhi told her that he wanted to open a school.

But Si Xingzhi's original intention at that time was to make money, thinking that he could get a steady stream of money by opening a school.

In fact, most children in the village have to help their families with chores within their ability starting from the age of three or four. When they are five or six years old, they can follow their older brothers and sisters to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, and collect firewood.

Who will actually send the children to school?

Si Muyan didn't say anything at the beginning because she didn't want Si Xingzhi to be hurt. She just refused vaguely and said she would consider it next year.

Looking at the happy Si Xingzhi and those enthusiastic children, even Si Muyan couldn't help but curl her eyebrows.

At least Si Xingzhi has found what he really likes and is good at, right?

"Alas, my Lord."

Si Muyan heard the voice and turned around to see that it was her mother Shao Qin.

Shao Qin was holding a winnowing basket, in which were freshly picked oranges. The oranges were ripe, and piled up in the basket in golden color, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Children, come and eat oranges."

Seven or eight boys and girls rushed forward, each took an orange, and happily expressed their gratitude in unison.

"Thank you, Madam Hou."

As soon as you hear it, you know that it must be Si Xingzhi who taught them to shout like that.

Shao Qin doesn't remember people and many things. Even when he is awake, he always thinks he is still in the Marquis' Mansion.

Aunt Jin whispered to Si Muyan, "Since yesterday, the master has been picking oranges with his wife, and then brought the children over to share the oranges. His wife is very happy and is happy to come outside."

Si Muyan was a little touched.

To be honest, after traveling here, she actually felt a little disgusted with Si Xingzhi.

After all, in the whole family, apart from the second sister who is still in confinement and the sick Shao Qin, Aunt Jin is diligent and quick, doing all the big and small chores at home and outside. Although the younger sister likes to be lazy and a little selfish, she is smart and a good child who speaks ill but acts honestly. Not to mention the younger brother, who feels that he should support the whole family at a young age.

Only Si Xingzhi, although busy, is really not good at anything. No matter it is housework or rough work in the fields, he can only make people laugh when he does it.

Even when chopping wood, he could never do it well. In the end, Aunt Jin couldn't stand it anymore and did it herself.

But today, Si Muyan finally understood that the reason why Si Xingzhi couldn't do his job well was not because he was unwilling to do it, but because his strengths were not in doing the work.

But Si Xingzhi treats his family with utmost sincerity.

Shao Qin was sick and confused, but Si Xingzhi never gave up on her. His second sister was in love and brought home a child, but Si Xingzhi still loved them very much.

The most important thing in life is actually sincerity.

The children were given oranges, and they ate them while feeding them to Si Xingzhi and Shao Qin. The smile on Shao Qin's face never disappeared.

Si Xingzhi looked back at the orange trees in the yard and said, "Next year, uncle will plant more fruit trees so that you can have more fruit to eat, okay?"

"it is good!"

There was still work to do in the fields. After eating the oranges, Si Xingzhi waved to Shao Qin and left with the children again.

Si Muyan also felt warm in her heart.

Aunt Jin was busy cooking and didn't pay much attention. She just said, "By the way, if you have some extra money, please buy some cloth and I'll make a waistcoat for Madam. The weather is going to change, and Madam can't stand the cold."

Si Muyan finally came back to her senses and nodded, saying, "I'll go there tomorrow. I'm afraid it's going to rain tomorrow."

Aunt Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are people in the village who understand astronomy. They said it will rain in the next few days, but it won't be a heavy downpour."

Si Muyan said, "There's nothing wrong with our house, but Mrs. Zhu lives in a thatched hut. I'm afraid that hut won't keep out the rain, right?"
