Chapter 147 March (1)

Chapter 147 March (Part 1)

"Tiger baby? Tiger baby?" In a wooden house, a woman patted the child who was still sleeping on the bed. The child was about seven or eight years old. He opened his eyes sleepyly and looked at the other person blankly.

"Get up soon. If your father comes back later, he will beat you up again!" The woman rubbed the child's head, got up and went back to the living room, and arranged the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, with a small pot of thick meat porridge and three large pieces of potato.

The child smelled the fragrance and got up with a silly smile.

"Wash your face first, don't go to the academy and be laughed at by other children!" The woman patted the child's hand that reached towards the dining table, and the child had to stick out his tongue and run to wash his face.

The woman sat quietly at the dining table, looking at the spacious room, and then looked at her husband who was working outside, with a smile on her face.

Who would have thought that three months ago, their family was still in the refugee team?

It was a nightmare day. The family was driven from northern Bingzhou like a rat to the gate area. They snatched food, caught field mice, ate grass seeds, and even ate Guanyin soil when they were very hungry. The stomach was so bloated that it couldn't be pulled out. The youngest girl was so swollen that she died of bloating.

I have sold my children, the big girl, the third girl, and even the second tiger. I have sold them to those landlords who took the opportunity to lower the price, especially the third girl, who has only changed half a bag of rice and grain. I have worked hard to see the big baby since I was a child, and it is worth half a bag of rice.

Human life is really worse than animals in the eyes of those rich and land!

When they arrived at the gate, there were only three people left in their family of seven. When they were so hungry, they even made up their minds to discuss changing their children and cooking them on the spot.

Fortunately, the local county magistrate is a bit human and she has given rice porridge. Otherwise, she would not dare to think about how she would sleep for the rest of her life if she had eaten someone.

When she thinks of this, she cherishes the life in front of her more and more!

It has been three months since I followed that adult to the island. Everything has changed. I have a full meal here every day, everyone has clothes to wear, and I can live in such a good house. At that time, I was confused and I just thought it would be okay to have a full meal as a dog!

But now, she dare not even think of what she has

After looking around, the family of three built a wooden house worth more than 70 square meters, and divided it into 60 acres of good land. My husband said that it is fine to produce 20 stones per mu of rice in this field. After 60 acres of good land, 30% of the tax revenue will be eliminated. This year, the family will eat it with open stomachs and will have a hundred stones of grain left next year!

Such good fields were not possible before, for farmers like them.

Not only that, the children here can also read for free!

There is a processing workshop in the village that produces snow-white rice paper every day, and they are used to print books for the children and write on weekdays. Since she got married, she never thought that her children would be able to afford to go to school like those landlords!

Every morning I wake up, I can't help but pat my face, for fear that such a dream would be awakened. When I wake up, I am still in the wilderness, next to me is my starving child and husband

"Mom is in a daze again."

After washing his face, the child picked up the potatoes and grimaced at the woman. The man who had just returned from sweating slapped the child's head: "Have you packed the books? If Master Wen came to complain again today and said he brought the wrong book, I'm not afraid that your butt would be broken!"

The child shrank his neck, while the woman came to her senses and gave her man a blank look: "Scared the child again!"

"I'm not scaring him. We have never had such a chance to study in the Hu family for several generations. Huwa has now enjoyed this treatment. If he doesn't cherish it well, it would be a waste of the blessings that Da Ya and the others gave to this stupid boy!"

The woman was silent when she heard this. Her husband believed that the reason why she could have such a good life now was because those children died prematurely and gave all their blessings to the tiger baby. She didn't believe it very much, and she felt uncomfortable when she mentioned this.

If those children could last longer, that would be great.

The man saw that his wife's eyes were red, and he was tactful and did not continue to talk about this. So he looked at the child fiercely: "Have you recognized a few more words these days?"

"I am very good at literacy!" The child said proudly: "Master Wen said that Liu Xiaolong and I are the best qualified students in our class, and are the most capable students!"

"Look at your arrogant look!" The woman also came back to her senses from her sad memories. Seeing her son's smug look, she finally felt better. She patted the child and then looked at her husband and said, "Thuwa's father, I made two pairs of cloth shoes, one big and one small. You and I will send it to her later in the evening."

"Okay, Master Wen taught our kid well, so it's time to give some things. When the autumn harvest comes, we will take some food and exchange it for some sugar and wish the master a happy new year." The man nodded and said.

The reading system on the island is randomly assigned to the Master. The teacher who the child follows cannot make decisions on his own. At the beginning, many people complained because most people still want to send their children to those men with serious fame to teach.

After all, it sounds unreliable for women to teach.

But they didn't think so after the child entered school one month. In just one month, their tiger baby could not only recognize many words, but also write out the names of the whole family. Although it was crooked, it was at least a literate child!

Therefore, the couple began to respect Master Wen who taught his children more and more.

"A good student!" The man's eyes finally softened, and he touched his child's head: "It's better to be a teacher in the future."

"Yeah," the child slapped the porridge and shook his head: "Mr. Meng said that he had to take the Bailu Academy to teach. Even the masters had to take the exam in a few days. If he failed, he would be removed from Bailu Academy and he would not be able to teach in the future."

"Ah?" The couple was stunned when they heard this. The man swallowed the porridge and asked quickly: "What if you Master Wen is not up to standard, what should you students do?"

"Please teach others." The child curled his lips and said, "Our master is very powerful, how could he fail?"

"That's right, Master Wen is indeed a capable master." The woman comforted her chest.

"Then what do you mean by your boy? What does it mean to not be able to take the Bailu Academy in the future?" The man glared at him!

"I don't want to take the Bailu Academy, I want to take the Tiance Academy!" the boy patted his chest and said.

"Tiance Academy?" The man suddenly widened his eyes, while the woman frowned: "Do you want to join the army?"

She didn't know anything. In the past few months, many clerks have come to give them common sense of science. Some women from several major academies have organized visits. Naturally, they also know that those who enter the Tiance Academy are basically those who dance with guns and sticks!

"What's the military?" the child retorted: "I came to Tiance Academy and became a general!"

"Don't you, general, no!" The woman suddenly became anxious. The couple had only one child left. Does this unlucky child actually want to join the army?

"It's actually good to be a soldier." The man smiled disagreeably: "I think Hou Xiaonian and his group are good? They are well treated and majestic."

"Majestic, you men know how powerful it is!" The woman glared and said, "It's not too dangerous to see? I just heard yesterday that our adults are already preparing to organize people to go to the island. There are childbirths everywhere in the island. I heard the old people here say that those childbirths are all sacrificial! Who knows how many people will die? You only see Hou Xiaonian and the others are majestic and well-treated, but that's for life!"

The man was silent when he heard this. To be honest, he was very physically compatible and could enter the escort team at the time, but his wife was not allowed to live or die, so he could only be a farmer. Now the child also wants to go this path, he does not object to him, but thinking about the fact that his wife is right, it is just this one child.

"Why, let's have two more?"

"Give you a big headed ghost!" The woman's face turned red, she glared at the other party immediately, then looked at the pouting child again, and said patiently: "You want to enter there because you saw the mighty nature of the Tence Academy, right? Let me tell you, it's so hard that it's so hard to train in the sun and rain all day, but it's not like Bailu Academy. The yard is quiet and elegant. In addition to studying, you can also learn piano and draw, which makes women like it. How can those rough men compare to?"

The father and son immediately buried their heads in eating porridge, not daring to refute, but did not respond, which made the woman very angry.

After dinner, she went out angrily and walked to the middle of the southwest area. It was a wooden house slightly smaller than her own house. She approached and knocked on the door. After a few breaths, a crisp sound rang out inside: "Who is it?"

"Your Aunt Sun!" the woman said with a smile.

The door opened quickly, and inside was a little girl about four or five years old. Her face was fat, pink and cute, with two tugged legs on her head, looking like a lucky baby. The woman liked it and picked up the child up: "Is Xiao Shanshan fatter again?"

The little girl giggled, obviously very familiar with the woman, and a gentle accent came from inside: "Miss Sun is here?"

The woman was Meng Jiao, the first to speak up as a clerk before.

"Miss Meng Jiao, are you busy?" The woman asked curiously when she put down the child and looked at the pile of documents on the other table.

"I'm almost busy." The woman smiled gently. She was really busy these two days. The adults had to organize soldiers to go to the island to investigate. The military supplies and food required had to be accounted for. Because of the arithmetic, she was temporarily called by Lord Wei as an assistant. She was indeed a little busy.

And the most important thing is that the adults have to organize the first major exam before leaving. It is said that this assessment will directly eliminate one-third of the people, which has forced her to use all her efforts to treat it. After finishing the accounts every day, she has to review the homework at Bailu Academy, and she doesn’t have enough time to sleep every day.

"I made shoes for you and Shanshan." The woman took out a pair of cloth shoes and smiled.

"How can you be so embarrassed!" Meng Jiao waved her hands repeatedly: "I've been bothering you too much."

Mrs. Sun's family is a neighbor. When moving, they come to the door to help and deliver things. On weekdays, she has no time to take care of the children, so she is the one who helps take care of her. How can I be so embarrassed to accept other people's things now?

"What's the matter? I originally made shoes for Master Wen. Thanks to her teaching these days. I thought I had done them all, so it's better to make a few more pairs. You don't have time to make these on weekdays. It's hot now, so you have to make a pair of thin shoes for your child, right?"

Meng Jiao looked at her daughter's thick shoes and couldn't say anything to refuse, so she said, "I just sent a monthly payment here. I can't finish a lot of sugar. I'll give you some later."

"Hey, why are you polite to me?"

"You are not polite. Your Huzi is studying now, and it takes a lot of brains. The sugar is the most valuable thing to change in the village. You can exchange it for some fish to make soup for your children and replenish your brain."

"Hey." Miss Sun couldn't say anything to refuse when she heard this. After all, it was related to studying, so she felt wronged that she could not be wronged by the child.
