Liu Yiyi looked serious, shook her head, and said, "Grandmother, I once saw Brother Wu writing and drawing on the ground with a tree branch. Later, I followed Brother Wu secretly and found that he often ran to Zhao Tongsheng Behind the house, leaning against the window, looking inside, secretly reciting, secretly learning"
"Ah?" Old man Liu and Mrs. Liu were taken aback, "You When did you see this?"
Liu Yiyi replied: "My fifth brother started last year. He wants to learn and is smart, so he can learn well."
Old man Liu, Mrs. Liu thought for a while, and finally nodded, "You are right, smartness is only one aspect, the most important thing is to learn. Since your fifth brother wants to study in a private school, let your fifth brother go."
Thinking of this, Liu Yiyi hurriedly said: "When Brother Wu learns in the school, he can teach us how to read when he comes back at night. Besides, the main purpose of our family is to read and write. As for the imperial examination, it is something that cannot be met. . Fifth brother is also seven years old this year, if he reads well, he will be in time."
Old man Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's right, I'll teach you guys after learning it. Isn't that all the children can read and write? As for the imperial examination, hey, let's forget it. If you just rush to the exam, you have to read." It costs a lot of money. Our family is weak and cannot afford the exam."
It is not easy for such a large family to be sent to Wulang to study in a school. It is too unrealistic to want to take the imperial examination.
Old man Liu absolutely does not allow the whole family to eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and then let Liu Wulang study. That would be unfair to others, and the family would not be able to survive.
Liu Yiyi smiled and said: "Grandpa, grandma, our family's life is getting better and better, and our income is getting more and more, so we can afford it naturally. At that time, we can change the lintel and cultivate and study the heirloom. Even if there is a The reputation of being a scholar is also very good, and others dare not bully us."
Hearing this, old man Liu and old lady Liu looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes.
"At this moment, at that moment, let's see. After harvesting the wheat, we will send Wulang to study first." Old man Liu finally decided, and at the same time he wanted to ask privately how much Wulang had learned outside the window of the private school.
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "I don't understand the big truth, so I will work hard and earn more money to make life easier for the family. If Goro can study well in the future, we will train him to study and test for talent."
Liu Yiyi was very happy when she heard that her grandfather and grandmother agreed.
It's just that when it was almost dark, there was thunder and it started to rain.
Old man Liu put on his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and went to the field to look at the wheat fields.
It will be harvested soon, and there is a rain, I hope this rain will pass quickly. If it keeps falling, the wheat in the field will be miserable.
The people in the village are not only worried about old man Liu, but also other people, because they are afraid that the wheat that is about to mature in the field will be moldy if it takes a long time.
"This rain is inappropriate!" Patriarch Liu sighed, looking at the endless wheat in the field, feeling very distressed.
After working hard for more than half a year, I can finally harvest, but now
Hey, it's really difficult to have good weather.
It has been raining continuously for two whole days. In these two days, almost all the people in Liujia Village are so anxious that they will burn, get angry, and have toothaches
Liu Yiyi was also a little worried, but she believed in the excellent properties of wheat.
On the third day, it continued to rain.
Master Li from the county seat brought Wang Yamen servants to Liujia Village on foot.
Ever since it rained non-stop, Mr. Li was also very worried. He couldn't rest assured, so he hurriedly asked the servant Wang and another county magistrate's confidant Zhao Tianyun to come to Liujia Village together.
Old man Liu was in the field. He grabbed a handful of wheat from the field and rubbed it in the palm of his hand.
Although it was a little sticky due to the rain, the wheat inside was still light brown and chubby, and there was no sign of mold or germination.
Then Master Li brought people to the border of Liujia Village, and saw that the wheat was still standing upright without being blown down by the wind, the ears of wheat were not moldy, and the grains of wheat had not germinated.
"Master Li, the quality of this wheat is really good. It was originally so mature. If it rained for three days in a row, it would have been moldy, and this season's wheat would be finished." Dozens of acres of land, very familiar with the characteristics of wheat.
Master Li nodded, "What you said is that this wheat is really good. It's the third day now. But the sky is still cloudy, and I don't know when it will be sunny. Let's make a record, this is also a very good day." The data."
The Wang Yamen quickly responded, "Yes, this wheat species is resistant to fishing., wind resistance. Such a strong wind has not yet blown down. "
Master Li is also very excited. Even if there is no good harvest this year, it is already very good that this wheat has such characteristics.
A group of them met old man Liu.
Everyone exchanged opinions, and Master Li didn't leave directly, and watched carefully from here.
After four days of rain, it finally stopped, and the wind stopped.
Because of the rain, the ground is sticky and cannot be harvested immediately.
Early the next morning, the weather was fine, but the threshing floor was still very wet and unusable at all.
The ears of wheat in the wheat field have become dry after a day of wind and sun.
?The threshing ground is unusable, the ground is very sticky, and wheat cannot be placed. What should I do now?
Liu Yiyi thought for a while, and suggested: "Grandpa, can we use a sickle to cut only the ears of wheat? The threshing ground can't be used, so let's use the method of pounding rice at home to remove the sundries outside?"
Old man Liu thought for a while, "There is no good way now, so we can only try this way, we can't just wait."
Wang Yamen was in charge of watching the wheat of other people in the village, while Master Li was watching in the field of Liu Yiyi's house.
Liu Yiyi's family put the baskets on the stalks where the ears had been cut off, and then continued to harvest other ears with a sickle.
When the back basket is full, send it home first.
Granny Liu brought her three grandchildren to pound at home. Unexpectedly, she could smash the wheat grains out of the ears with just a few strokes.
Liulang and Goro, one on each side, shook the sieve on both sides, sifting out the small wheat awns inside.
There were still some big wheat awns that couldn't be removed, Liu Yiyi took the cattail fan and waved it vigorously, all the sundries of the wheat grains disappeared and were clean.
On the ground in the yard, spread straw, then spread oilcloth on top of the straw, and finally pour wheat on it.
More and more ears of wheat were being sent, Mrs. Liu and her little grandson were too busy, so it happened that Master Li brought Zhao Tianyun over to see the wheat of Liu Yiyi's family.
"Oh, Brother Li, this wheat is very good. It has been raining for four days when it is ripe, and it has been moldy for a long time, so it cannot be of such good quality." Zhao Tianyun looked at the wheat carefully, and looked at Master Li enviously. , This time I will make a great contribution. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
