Chapter 68 I Am For You

Outside, Lizheng had brought people along, and hung the plaque upright in the main hall, so that it would not be blown by the wind or drenched by the rain.

Step back a few steps and look at the yard again. With that plaque, it looks a bit noble.

Many villagers were illiterate, and only felt that the plaque given by the magistrate of the county was a big deal. They all recited Buddha's name to the plaque, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to the plaque.

Shen Jiayan was listening, those who were muttering, some asked for a plaque to bless their family safe; some asked for a plaque to bless the crops in the field to grow well; There are even those who ask for a plaque to bless her daughter-in-law to give birth to a son——

In a daze, Shen Jiayan felt that if these people held sticks of incense in their hands, this would not be their own courtyard, but some small temple.

I don't know if this plaque is too busy?I want to be the Lord of the Land and the Lord of the Dragon, and finally I have to play the God of Wealth and Avalokitesvara as a cameo.

After the plaque was hung up, Li Zheng took his people and left first, and the others also left one after another.

Bai Shi and Quan Shi also wanted to go home, but they were stopped by Shen Jiayan, who took out the coarse cloth they bought in the county town and asked them to make a set of clothes for the three brothers and sisters and her.

This is a piece of cake for Bai Shi and Quan Shi, both of them are very good female celebrities, almost all the clothes and shoes of the family are made by themselves, so they readily agreed.

Especially when Shen Jiayan cut the clothes, he left room for it, and when Shen Jiayan said that the remaining scraps of cloth were not needed, the two of them were even more happy.

I only estimated roughly with my eyes, as long as I was more careful, there might be about one foot left in the end.

If you save a few pieces of cloth like this, you can make a piece of clothing for your child.

So both of them happily took the materials for the two clothes and went home.

After sending the two of them out of the courtyard gate, when they turned around, they saw Mu Tianze and Mu Yue cleaning the courtyard. A lot of people came just now, and they hung up plaques. There was a lot of dust on the ground, and they were trampled everywhere. Both are.

Mu Tianrun was also not idle in the yard, pouted his buttocks, and pulled the weeds under the steps with all his strength.

Seeing Shen Jiayan coming in, the three siblings stopped what they were doing and looked at Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan ordered: "Come find me after sweeping the yard." She entered the house without looking back.

The three brothers and sisters hastened to speed up the movements of their hands, cleaned the yard, washed their hands, and dusted off the clothes, and then lined up one by one and entered the main hall.

Once inside, there are eye-catching and familiar ledgers, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the square table in the main hall.

Without Shen Jiayan's instructions, Mu Tianze went forward to open the ledger, added yesterday's noodle money, room money, and this morning's breakfast money.

Shen Jiayan expressed her satisfaction with being so knowledgeable about current affairs. If it continued like this, she felt that living under the same roof would not be so difficult to accept.

After the three brothers and sisters signed and signed the painting, Shen Jiayan said: "Let's talk about it first. When you come back, you have to see what children as old as you in the village are going to do. You have to do it too!" Go learn! Today is the first day, I want you to go to the village to have a look and ask some questions, you have an idea, come back and tell me, and then you can arrange things for the future.”

Mu Tianze and Mu Yue didn't have any objections, seeing that Shen Jiayan had no other orders, they came out with Mu Tianrun in their arms.

After leaving the courtyard of Mu's house, the three brothers and sisters didn't know where to go for a while, so they went to ask someone.

They have been in Dongguang Village for so long, although they have become familiar with the children in the village, but there is no one who really has friendship.

After thinking about it, the only one with the best relationship was Li Goudan, so he simply went to Li's house.

Along the way, I walked slowly. At this time, the wheat was about to be harvested, and the seedlings were growing. I had to go to see it from time to time. The adults basically went to the field after breakfast.

The children are more relaxed and have to help with housework at home.

The gates of every yard are open, and there are some poorer families who have no yard walls at all, or just put a few bamboo branches or thorns to make fences, so they can walk all the way and see everything at a glance.

It can be seen that a boy of Mu Tianze's age does not have a well at home, so he has to go to the river to fetch water for his family's use.

Some were chopping firewood, which a half-grown boy could do anyway that required strength.

As for the girls, older ones, at this time, the cooking and washing dishes have been cleaned up, and there is still a whole family of clothes to be washed, some at home, and some taken to the river to wash.

There are also girls who are not very old and not tall, and they sit there washing clothes with their younger siblings on their backs.

After washing the clothes, I have to feed the chickens, thresh pigweed, cut pigweed, feed the pigs, sweep the yard, and take care of the vegetable garden.

Hardly anyone was idle.

Even the younger children have to look after their younger siblings when they go out to play.

When I go out for a trip and come back, I either pick up two firewood and go home, or I have to dig a few earthworms to feed the chickens.

The three brothers and sisters of the Mu family were all dumbfounded. They had been in the village for more than a year before, and their stepmothers did the housework. They only took care of Mu Tianrun, and they already felt that it was very hard work.

Although at that time I also felt that the children in the village worked harder than them, but I didn't have an intuitive feeling and ignored the past.

After looking at it carefully today, I realized that the days they thought were hard and difficult before were already a rare enjoyment for the children in the village.

When they arrived at Li Goudan's house, it was Li Goudan who was also helping to chop firewood. When he saw the three brothers and sisters coming, he asked them to sit aside and chop firewood while asking them what they were doing.

Hearing Mu Tianze ask them what they do on weekdays, and talking about what they have seen and heard along the way, at the end he asked with a bit of panic, is it when all the children in the village do these things.

Li Goudan wiped the sweat off his brow, and said, "That's natural! The children of the farmer's family have to help the adults with things since they can walk. No family can afford idlers! You can't do things in the field. Can’t do the housework in this family? You grew up in the city so you don’t understand! What is this? It’s still brisk now. When the farming season is busy, not only do you have to cook and boil water at home! You also have to go to the fields to help Woolen cloth--"

"That's you three brothers and sisters. You don't know how many people in our village envy you! Although your aunt is your stepmother, she treats you better than your own mother! Who is as old as you and still doesn't go to the ground? Can’t even cook? This is in our country, young people will be laughed at! A girl’s family will also be disliked by others, no one will marry into the door to be a wife in the future!”

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yue, with a look on his face that I was doing it for your own good, and whispered: "We are brothers, and your sister is my sister, so I'm telling you the truth. Sister Ah Yue doesn't know how to cook like this, A girl who is good at needlework, in the eyes of our farmers, this is called lazy! Such a girl, but no one wants it! Who would marry such a woman and go back to work, but still provide for her?"
