Chapter 51 Want to become stronger (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)

Gu Pingan responded with tears in his eyes, secretly making up his mind.

Tomorrow, he must concentrate on reading. After all, the Thousand Characters is such a thick book, when will he finish reading it.

Su Mo nodded and looked away.

"Pingan and Jinnian have grown up, and it's time to sleep separately.

I have already finished the bamboo bed, and I will move it into the second room on the west side when it is dry tomorrow.

Who will move to live in this room is up to you. "

When Gu Xingnian heard that they were sleeping separately, she immediately pulled Su Mo's clothes off with her small hands, her eyes were full of nervousness.

"Mother, what about me?"

Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and rubbed Gu Xingnian's little head.

"Xingnian is still young, sleep with mother."

Gu Xingnian felt relieved immediately, her eyes curved into crescent moons.

She thought that she would never grow up, and would sleep with her mother all her life.

It was getting late, Su Mo sent the three children to wash up.

She made a special wooden bucket and placed it next to the wall near the bathroom in the kitchen.

A hole was opened at the bottom of the barrel, and a bamboo pipe was connected to it.

The other end of the bamboo tube was blocked with a wooden plug, and there was a bamboo tube connected from the reservoir next to it.

There is a wooden bucket in the washroom, and when you want to take a bath, you pour hot water into the wooden bucket, and then the person in the washroom directly opens the wooden stopper, and there is both hot and cold water.

It is much more convenient than boiling water and lifting water before, but there are still some disadvantages.

First, the bamboo tubes don't last long and need to be replaced after a while.

Second, you have to scoop water from the pot and pour it into the wooden barrel. The wooden barrel is not insulated, and it is not easy to do this when it is cold.

It's not like Su Mo didn't think about setting up a stove by the wall, and then went to the blacksmith's shop to make iron buckets and iron pipes.

I just went to inquire, and there is only one iron shop in the entire coastal county, and let alone whether the iron pipe can be made, and more importantly, the iron shop does not have iron!

Later, after 258 thoughtfully explained, Su Mo found out that it was because the iron mines in the Dayong Dynasty were scarce, which led to the government's strict control over iron.

A series of things with iron, such as iron pots and hoes bought in those shops, were all purchased from the government, and even left the mark of the government.

The function of this iron shop is that when things in the people's homes are broken, they can be sent there for recasting.

And if you take pig iron over there, there will be no good entertainment, but prison meals will definitely be indispensable.

After hearing these words, Su Mo gave up resolutely, at worst, it would be more troublesome in winter and save more firewood to boil water.

Gu Xingnian was lying on the bed, so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he still refused to sleep.

Until Su Mo walked in, she waved her hand and smiled sweetly: "Mother~"

Su Mo sat by the bed, with a handkerchief for drying her hair hanging on her wrist.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"It's time to sleep."

Gu Xingnian yawned, her small hands quietly grabbed Su Mo's clothes, and closed her eyes.

The little one, seeing Su Mo's heart melted.

After all, who can resist the soft and caring little padded jacket.

The next day.

When the sky was getting dark, Su Mo opened his eyes.

Lying on the bed and taking a while, he skillfully pulled the clothes out of Gu Xingnian's hands, and replaced them with thin quilts.

Then I got up, put on my shoes, and went out.

Before Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian got up, Su Mo went straight to the bathroom and cleaned his mouth with willow branches.

Then the cork was removed, the mountain spring water flowed out from the bamboo tube, and the cold spring water splashed on the face, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

Su Mo went to the opposite shed again, put the hoe and wooden spoon into the barrel, picked them up with a pole, and went to the wasteland in Xishan.

The watermelon seed Su Mo was exchanged early.

According to the system, the super seeds developed in their world can ignore the soil and do not need to germinate.

And the range of planting time is increased.

As long as it is not winter, it can be directly sown into the soil, watered and fertilized on time, and it is a must-have for novice farmers.

The only downside is that they cannot reproduce.

To put it simply, the seeds of the fruit that are planted cannot be used.

But does Su Mo mind?she does not mind.

She just wanted to plant it first, break the habitual thinking of the villagers in Luoshan Village, and earn some small money by the way.

The land was plowed, and Su Mo followed the instructions in the Agricultural Encyclopedia to dig pits and sow seeds with a row spacing of 1.4 meters and a plant spacing of 0.7 meters, and then filled them with soil to cover them.

There were quite a lot of seeds, and all the fields were planted, and there were more than 20 seeds left. Su Mo stuffed the remaining seeds into his arms, and carried the bucket to the water source.

I went back and forth several times, pouring water on the whole land, and then went back.

As for the remaining watermelon seeds, Su Mo planted them directly in the open space behind the yard, where a bamboo fence had already been inserted.

Su Mo changed a lot of seeds in the mall and planted cucumbers and beans.

The two brothers Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian had already got up, and without Su Mo shouting, they spontaneously squatted in the yard.

The two brothers kept track of the time in their hearts, and when it was almost time, they would rest for a while, and then jog outside the house.

Su Mo saw it while carrying water, and felt very relieved. The two children are self-disciplined and self-motivated, and the faster she can complete her task.

The open space behind was planted, and the children woke up. Su Mo was not busy, but went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Boiled eggs, wild vegetable porridge, light and not greasy.

After dinner, Su Mo told about his going to the county.

The three children were no longer what they used to be. Now that they heard that Su Mo was going to the county seat, they were very calm.

Gu Xingnian blinked her eyes, and licked her lower lip with her pink tongue: "Mom, can you buy me a candied haws?"

A candied haws is only a penny, so Su Mo naturally agreed.

"Of course, but Xingnian has to promise her mother that she will read the characters before going out to play. Can it be done?"

Thinking of the sweet and sour candied haws, Gu Xingnian swallowed, raised her hand and patted her chest.

"no problem!"

Su Mo couldn't hold back a smile, and looked at Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian.

"Where are Ping An and Jin Nian? Do you want anything?"

Gu Pingan shook his head, he really wanted to say that he wanted to recognize a few fewer words.

But he knew that it was impossible for his mother to agree to him, and if he really said it, he was afraid that he would have to learn more characters tomorrow.

Gu Jinnian pursed his lips tightly, clutched his clothes tightly with his little hands, and said, "Can I buy another book?"

Su Mo was slightly taken aback.

Gu Jinnian said again: "I have already memorized all the thousand-character prose you taught, and I want to read other books."

He heard from people in the village that there is no age limit for taking the test of Tongsheng. He wants to study more, wants to take the test of Tongsheng, and wants others to treat them like Wang Tongsheng's family...

Or in other words, treating them more humblely and pleasing to Wang Tongsheng's family.

He wants to become stronger, to stand at the top, to make the world fear him, look up to him, and dare not make mistakes...

Recalling the words of the patriarch of the Wang clan and Si Ni at Wang Tongsheng's house that day, Gu Jinnian's eyes flashed a gloomy look, and he clenched his palms a little more.

He thought he was covering it up very well, but he didn't know that Su Mo had been observing and saw his dark side clearly.

"After teaching you less than five times, you can recognize them all?"

Su Mo raised her eyebrows, her face calm.

"That's right, the task of teaching Ping An and Xing Nian to read will be entrusted to you in the future.

Today, eight new characters are added for Xingnian, and sixteen characters are added for Ping An.

Don't let the water out, I will spot check when I come back, you know! "

If a person wants to become stronger, it is a good thing to be self-motivated, but one should not act too hastily, just throw these two worries to Gu Jinnian, and sharpen his temper.

"As for the new books, don't buy them yet. I'll send you to a private school when you teach the Thousand-Character Classics about Ping An and Xing Nian."
