The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 114 High School
Wang Qiao returned to the village. He came back to see his parents and brought back good news. A relative of her husband's family has a way to learn lacquerware. Two places are available for them. Of course, you have to pay a deposit to enter. After five years of learning, you will be able to learn lacquerware. You can leave.

You have to pay for this kind of thing, because if you leave after you become a master, and the master fails, you have to pay every year. The apprentices who don't pay have to stay and work, and they have to work for at least five years. Year.

The wages of apprentices are very low, so it is not easy for them to be apprentices. They can hardly see any money for ten years.This is why the whole village in Lijia Village is trying their best to build a wine shop and a weaving shop so that their children can have food to eat.

Being able to learn a real craft and have a lifetime of food is the foundation.

Wang Qiao was the first to bring a new way out to Lijiacun, which was to learn lacquerware, such as jewelry or gift boxes. High-end lacquer boxes are used, and some have gold on them, which is very high. craftsmanship.

Lacquer ware uses the natural sap of trees as paint, which is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. It is available in various colors and with techniques such as gold painting. It is very elegant and beautiful. It can be made into tableware, boxes and other wooden decorations, and is widely used.

This time Wang Qiaoke made a great contribution, and even paid for the marriage and gave her gifts. Her husband also helped, and finally it happened. Mainly because the Li family was really prosperous, and it might be useful in the future. The Li family Now he has a good network of contacts.

The grandfather of the clan gave the Wang family credit and allowed his children to go to the winery to learn the craft.

In the end, I chose a child from the Li family, a child with a foreign surname. The child from the Wang family did not go, but wanted to learn wine making. I liked this, and it was easy to get in and learn wine making without going anywhere.

"Next year your husband is going to the capital to take the exam. Just go find Brother Rui."

"Yes, I will write to Brother Rui later. How are you at your mother-in-law's house? Is her mother-in-law giving you any trouble?"

"No, my husband's family only knows one thing but not the other. Now my husband and I are of the same mind. I am also the housekeeper of my husband's family. My mother-in-law has already adopted me. I will take the opportunity to come back and visit my mother-in-law's family this time."

"Well, you should also handle your husband's family affairs carefully. You should be fair, sensible and careful in everything. Only then will your position become more stable."

"Yes."

"As long as he can be named on the gold list this time, I will ask Brother Rui to choose a good place for him to go out. Don't worry now, can your mother-in-law allow you to go out with him?"

"Of course, my parents-in-law have long since told me to leave and not keep me. The family will be handed over to my sister-in-law to learn housekeeping. I have been taught seriously for more than a year and I can get started. My sister-in-law often helps me to say good things in front of my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law I’m also grateful that I taught my sister-in-law well and there are more and more prominent people in our family, so my mother-in-law doesn’t dare to bully me.”

Wang Qiao quickly established a foothold in her husband's family by virtue of his valiant personality.

Li Lian'er is doing well too. She came back at the beginning of winter last year and is living well with her husband. She is also in a high position in her husband's family, so her life is not difficult.The gifts he received when he returned to his parents' home were also very generous. The opportunity for his in-laws' family had already been during the marriage, and they took the initiative to give them to him. He went to work as a clerk in a shop, and there was nothing else they could give him this time.

Now there is good news that Li Lian'er is pregnant. She is raising the baby at home. Her husband's family does not let her run around and they take her very seriously.

Seeing that the two girls were doing well, Xiu Niang was relieved and that she had lived up to everyone's feelings.

Spring has begun, and the flowers are blooming. This year, the group of brothers will enter the examination room. Xiu Niang has been a little absent-minded these days and has assigned a lot of examination papers to everyone.

Every time she comes back from the capital, she will bring back a lot of examination papers, which are examination papers from various places that are held every three years, and collect them as daily assessments for the children.

Nowadays, the clan’s academic control is strict. If you don’t study hard, you really won’t be able to keep up. In half a year, a few who are too slow to keep up will be expelled. Those who have no talent and cannot pass the imperial examination will go home to farm and learn crafts. Don't waste time.

You can learn everything quickly when you are young, but when you get older it will be too late. If this road doesn’t work, let’s quickly find another way.

There is an assessment every month in ethnic studies, and the test questions are chosen by Xiu Niang and her husband after discussion. There are all kinds of things. If you don’t work hard, you will fall behind quickly. The children are extremely nervous, and the atmosphere of ethnic studies is very stressful. big.

And students from Lijiacun, even if they go to other colleges to study, are still ranked in the top five, never fall behind, and their efforts are never in vain.

Even girls who don't need to take exams still have to take exams. There are more questions than men, and the rules are stricter.

Nowadays, many girls and boys in Lijiacun want to get married after crossing the threshold.

Li Lian'er and Wang Qiao gained respect and were valued in their husband's family so quickly because they really learned their skills. They went to work as housekeepers and directors of the husband's family, presided over the wedding ceremony, followed the rules and etiquette, and received praise from relatives and friends for everything. They have different demeanor when they stand up, and my husband is also affectionate.

When girls see the previous examples, they will understand that you need to be hard-working. If you want to live a good life as an official wife, are you qualified?

It's almost May, and a letter comes from the capital. Someone has opened the door to ethnic studies.Xiu Niang was interrupted in class and looked unhappy, "What happened?"

"Sir, Brother Qun has been hit?"

"what?"

Xiu Niang didn't react at once and was a little stunned.

"Auntie, my brother won, and Li Qun won the first prize."

The child who came to report the news shouted at the top of his lungs.

"bingo!"

The whole school was boiling.

At this moment, Xiuniang's tears fell unconsciously, as if her heart slowly fell to the ground.

"Auntie, the policeman who reported the news is still waiting for you. Let's go quickly."

"I haven't finished class yet."

"I'll get back to you later."

The children dragged Xiuniang to the entrance of the village, and the policeman personally reported the good news to her.

Xiu Niang cried with joy and kept giving blessing gifts. Grandma quickly handed over the red envelope and asked people to get some jars of good wine to join in the joy.

After seeing off the policeman who reported the news, Xiu Niang pushed away everyone and stumbled towards the cemetery. The children watched her leave and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"It's okay, kids. Your aunt has gone to announce the good news to your uncle. Go back and wait for the letter."

"Dad, are you still studying today?"

"It doesn't matter what I say, Master, you see."

"I won't read anymore. I'll be happy today and make up for it tomorrow."

"Oh!"

The children immediately had fun and jumped three feet high.

Xiu Niang and her mother-in-law went to the cemetery to offer incense to Li Ping. She also secretly offered some incense sticks and some paper money to the original owner, and reported the good news to them and their wife. Your son is promising, and I have lived up to the blessings you left behind.

It was expected that Qun Ge won the first prize in the examination. Zhou Yi kept a close eye on his nephew and knew his nephew's level well. The top three would be fine, it just depends on the ranking.

Xiu Niang and the whole family were relieved this time. It was very important for the whole family that Qun Ge passed the exam. Grandpa and the others had the greatest hope for Qun Ge. It was Li Ping's hard work that paid for the whole family's recovery.

Xiu Niang made the greatest contribution to the family. She was the first to provide for the children of Li Heng and Mao Ge. In the end, it was Zhou Yi who taught the group brothers. Grandpa was the happiest this time.

Grandpa took the initiative and said, "Today, my family will pay for a celebration for you all. The whole village will come and help us prepare a banquet. I will treat you all to dinner. Xiu Niang has done a great job."

Grandpa covered his face with red eyes and bowed to thank everyone in the village.
