The milky white pig's trotter soup was steaming with misty heat, and I didn't know what Li Jin had adjusted. This soup was not greasy at all, but tasted very delicious.
The young man sat on the bed with the soup and read Li Jin copying books.
He felt that Li Jin now had a temperament like his father and brother.
Strategize, chat and laugh.
After Li Jin finished practicing the big characters, the sky was completely dark, and there was nothing outside except the chirping of cicadas.
He always felt like he forgot one thing today, and he didn't remember it until he was in the shower after doing thirty push-ups in the kitchen...
He didn't water the vegetable field!
Now it is obviously too late to water, not to mention the invisible problems, just going out of the village at night is a bit dangerous.
So in the early morning of the next day, it was replaced by a juvenile nurse, and Li Jin hurried to water.
It is midsummer now, and the rapeseeds in the ground are very delicate. Once you forget to water, the rapeseeds may be dried to death.
And you can't water it when the sun is shining, as the water vapor will evaporate and the rapeseed will be dried to death.
When Li Jin arrived at the school, he happened to bump into Chen Xiran.
Chen Xiran smiled and said, "What's delayed brother Li Xian today?"
Li Jin said, "I went back late yesterday and forgot to water the vegetable field. I went to water it in the morning."
Chen Xiran opened his mouth wide, completely unexpected that Li Jin's family was in such a situation.
Last time, I saw Mrs. Li Jin as a purse to subsidize the family, but today I heard that Li Jin has to farm and water!
Chen Xiran said, "You, you have to do farm work while studying... Will this be too tiring?"
Li Jin glanced at him, a little strange: "Aren't all farmers like this?"
Chen Xiran sternly retorted: "No! If a peasant child is promising in his studies, the clan will give his family a share of the land and money. There is no need to worry about farm work at all. His family will take care of all these matters, and the peasant child only needs to study."
Li Jin was still very indifferent, and said, "It's unfortunate that our village is concentrated in retail households. My surname is Li, and I don't have the same clan."
Chen Xiran: "..." When he didn't say anything.
But to be honest, the surname Li is indeed quite rare.
Although Chen Xiran wanted to help Li Jin, he also knew that everyone was a classmate, and if he gave Li Jin money, it would be bad for Li Jin's reputation.
Moreover, Li Jin is not at the point where he needs help at all, and everyone has their own way of living.
No pain No gain. Although everyone knows this, there are only a few who can do it.
Chen Xiran really admires Li Jin now. Previously, he thought Li Jin was too boring, like a nerd, and seemed not interested in anything.
In fact, if he thinks from Li Jin's point of view, he has a lot of farm work to do every day, and he has to support his husband, then he will naturally have no time to care about the romance.
Mr. Song's child obediently welcomed the two to the study, and said, "Daddy said he couldn't come today because of something, but Big Brother Li needs to finish copying this book, and Big Brother Chen needs to finish this book by heart."
As he spoke, he handed the two books to each of them.
The child looked at the cover and felt that he had handed it back, with a look of embarrassment.
"I was wrong, this one belongs to Big Brother Li, and this one belongs to you."
Sure enough, Li Jin's book was the commentary on the classics (middle), and the child got it right this time.
The child added: "Daddy said that you can't be lazy. You will have to check tomorrow. The two brothers can leave on their own after completing the task."
After the child left, Li Jin asked, "Brother Chen, is there something wrong with Mr.
Didn't you say you were going to investigate yesterday
Chen Xiran is really a 'bag to ask'.
He said: "My father said that yesterday the village chief of Xiatan Village personally came forward and seriously tortured the woman, and she was instructed by others. Today is to admit mistakes to Mr. Song's family, so Mr. Song is inconvenient to be absent.
Don't worry, everything is settled satisfactorily. "
Li Jin thought that he had seen this village chief when he went to sell wheat grass in Xiatan Village before. Sure enough, benevolence and righteousness coexisted.
A good mayor.
Chen Xiran only knew what his father told him. He didn't understand that although the woman said that someone instructed her, she finally said that the person instigating her was a rogue in the village.
Anyway, there is something wrong with the rogue's spirit, and in the end, he can only let it go.
Although everyone knew in their hearts which talent must have done this, they were too lazy to break it.
In this society, affection is still very important.
Besides, based on the woman's words alone, they can't fully believe that it was done by a certain scholar in the woman's mouth. They have no physical evidence, so they can only put this matter on hold for the time being.
However, fortunately, Mr. Song's family was fair.
Otherwise, if the sewage was poured on it, how could Mr. Song's family stay in the clan
After Li Jin finished copying this book, the child brought him another book and asked Li Jin to go back and copy it.
In short, Mr. Song's way of educating Li Jin now is to first give him the obscure original works, let him go home and extract them to deepen his memory, and then explain the meaning to him in class.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Li Jin still has to copy the annotations in class.
This annotated book should have been a gift from an old friend, but my husband never asked him to take it back.
After leaving the school, Chen Xiran also knew the situation of Li Jin's family, so he no longer took him to eat at Baishifang, but said, "It's a long way back to the village, be careful of heat stroke."
Li Jin felt that although Chen Xiran's family was rich, he was still very good at taking care of the emotions of those around him.
He doesn't despise himself at all because of his low background, and he won't show off his wealth in front of him after knowing that his family is really poor.
In short, emotional intelligence is not low.
Li Jin went to the main street first, and today he has more than a hundred coins in his pocket, so he has to ask the price of the cloth first.
He discussed with the boy in the morning that a piece of cloth was about four feet, or thirty-three meters.
It only takes seven to eight meters to make a piece of clothing, but if you want to make a set, you need a whole piece of cloth.
As for how much a piece of cloth is, the young man himself does not know.
He had never been in charge of shopping before, and the clothes he wore were all changed from old clothes.
Li Jin entered a cloth shop, and the shopkeeper looked at Li Jin like a scanner with his own eyes, and then greeted him to the soft cloth side.
"It's all made of cotton thread, not the kind of twine. This kind of cloth is soft to the touch, it absorbs sweat when worn close to the body, and the color is also suitable for readers like you."
Li Jin looked at it, and it felt really good, similar to the fabric of the robe he was wearing.
But in fact, he was wearing linen clothes under his robes.
But the surface is bright.
Li Jin asked about the price.
The shopkeeper said, "We don't sell this kind of cloth separately. We only sell each piece at a time, and each piece is between one or two taels of silver. The colors are different, and the prices are different."
Li Jin thought about the hundred articles in his pocket and fell into deep thought.
One tael of silver is equal to one thousand dollars, equal to one thousand wen.
Ten times the money in his pocket.
Li Jin was shy, and asked the price of hemp again.
The shopkeeper saw that Li Jin probably didn't intend to buy cotton cloth, nor was he annoyed, and told him the price of burlap.
The shopkeeper has opened a shop here for many years, and it is rare to see a scholar with such temperament as Li Jin. Anyway, as far as he knows, a scholar like Li Jin will probably end up in the capital.
So he was still smiling.
"Rough hemp is cheap, only one hundred and fifty cents a piece."
Li Jin thought blankly that he originally bought two mattresses at Li Daniu's house. At that time, Li Daniu said that one foot of cloth was three wen, and that one zhang was thirty wen, and one piece was one hundred and twenty wen.
Sure enough, the price in the town is expensive.
In the end, Li Jin compared burlap and cotton, and felt that he should still want to buy cotton.
After all, there are some coarse linen clothes at home, just want to be convenient to wear for farm work, do not need to buy too much.
On the contrary, the teenager has just given birth to a child, and his body is delicate, and his skin will be rubbed by wearing coarse linen clothes all the time.
But he is really poor now, and 100 wen is already half of the family's savings. In the end, he could only walk away empty-handed.
Li Jin intends to go to Li Daniu's house to ask if he has cotton cloth. After all, his family is poor now, so he can save as much as he can.
Just when Li Jin was about to turn a corner and go home, he was suddenly stopped.
"Li Jin Li Jin, someone is looking for you!"
The person who came was Chen Xiran, and he was accompanied by Doctor Wu of Xinglintang.
Li Jin stopped and said in surprise, "Doctor Wu, Brother Chen, how did you get together?"
Chen Xiran said: "Doctor Wu inquired about our closing time and waited for you in front of Mr. Song's mansion, but we both left early after school. If it wasn't for the fact that my servant said that there was always someone walking around in front of the door, I didn't know about it. thing."
Doctor Wu invited Li Jin to Xinglintang.
Chen Xiran likes all kinds of gossip, so he has to follow it.
Well, Li Jin doesn't think his EQ is high now.
In the end, Doctor Wu was helpless and could only tell about the prescription in front of the three of them.
Li Jin said: "I have written the usage and taboos on it. Doctor, don't worry, just use it."
Dr. Wu anxiously told Li Jin that the prescription should not be spread out, and if he was found out, he would be sentenced on the charge of deceiving his teacher and destroying his ancestors.
Li Jin smiled and said, "I saw this recipe in an ancient book, and it has no provenance."
After all, this is something from another parallel time and space.
Dr. Wu was even more surprised. He did not expect that there are still doctors willing to record the secret recipe directly in a book for others to circulate.
Li Jin said: "If Dr. Wu thinks this prescription is useful, please ask Dr. Wu not to conceal this prescription in the future. After all, this prescription is very effective, and if it can be widely circulated, it will also have the opportunity to treat many people.
Li Jin thanked the doctor in advance. "
Doctor Wu hurriedly stood up and gave Li Jin a deep bow. His name has also been changed.
"Mr. Li's kindness, I really admire it!"
Li Jin didn't dare to take credit: "I think since this ancestor is willing to record the prescription in the book, he must also hope to save more people."
Dr. Wu said: "Since Mr. Li said so, then I will promote this recipe on behalf of Mr. Li.
To be honest, my son is preparing to take the exam. My family doesn’t have the money to hire him. I have to follow him to do some work in a few days. It takes about a month to go back and forth. "
Indeed, Qiu Wei did take three exams on August 9th, 12th, and 15th.
And generally in the provincial capital exam, most fathers or uncles will choose to accompany the exam to help their children eat.
Chen Xiran: "..." Is this going to be an examination? ?
Why since I met Li Jin, I feel that there are academic bullies everywhere.
When Dr. Wu saw this prescription and taboos, he no longer believed Li Jin's sentence 'My medical skills are half-baked'.
Dr. Wu said, "I wonder if Mr. Li would be willing to sit in Xinglintang for two hours every afternoon in August? If there are not many patients, you can endorse and practice calligraphy. I will tell the shopkeeper about this."
Finally, Dr. Wu threw a blockbuster: "Monthly silver three taels."
The author has something to say: Li Jin: I, a traveler, a farmer, have no money
