Part-time work and part-time study

The Lin family was divided into two groups. One group was threshing grain in the threshing floor, and the other group was working in the fields harvesting rice. Lin Wenhan took advantage of this gap and went to the fields to find Jiang Wen.

"Why do you come to my aunt's house all day long? You haven't told your aunt about what happened in the academy, right?"

Listening to Lin Wenhan's sneer, Jiang Wen didn't even raise his head and continued to pile the rice cut by Lin Dong and others on the field ridge for easy transportation.

Lin Wenhan was not annoyed either. He was wearing a long gown and holding a folding fan in his hand. While fanning himself, he said in a sinister tone: "Sooner or later, aunt will know about it. Do you think you can still stay in the Lin family? Auntie likes it best."

I am a scholar, do you think you still have a chance to go to an academy?"

Jiang Wen froze, turned around stiffly and looked at Lin Wenhan, panic flashed in his eyes, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face. He just pretended to be cold and said: "The academy just said that I would take a few days off."

"But the academy didn't say for a few days." Lin Wenhan sneered, his sarcastic tone irritating Jiang Wen.

A few days ago, he was suddenly put on leave by the college. The college didn't give a reason. When he pressed him, the most he said was that his grades had slipped too much. He had fallen from Class A to Class D. He was uneasy during those few days.

He was busy thinking of ways to make money for his aunt, and he didn't pay attention during the exam. But now he has adjusted, and he had a feeling that he did well in the last exam, but he was still forced to take a break.

He didn't dare to tell his aunt, let alone his family, about this matter. According to Grandma's temperament, she would just go to the academy to cry and make trouble. If she didn't go to the academy, he could also study at home and find someone to vouch for it.

You can take the scientific examination.

"No matter what the academy says, I will never give up on the imperial examination. At worst, I will study at home."

"Ha, you don't overestimate your capabilities." Looking at Jiang Wen, who was wearing a bundt, his face was red, and his rough clothes had a few holes in them. They were a bit tattered and shabby. At first glance, he didn't look like a scholar at all, but he really looked like a scholar.

Farmer.

The more Lin Wenhan watched, the more proud he felt. He waved the folding fan in his hand and left with a weird laugh. On the way, some villagers greeted him respectfully, with enthusiasm and admiration.

He knew that Jiang Wen was not a weak-tempered person, but was very tenacious, so he had to seize the time to study and make sure to excel in this scientific examination. So as soon as he got home, Lin Wenhan began to study hard again.

Jiang Wen was in a daze for a few seconds, looking at Lin Nan and Lin Dong who were cutting rice in the fields with sickles. They were not much different in age from him, but they had been working in the fields for several years, and they were like this every year.

, with rice in one hand and a sickle in the other, he had to bend over and keep cutting rice. Even if his waist was about to break with fatigue, he could not stop. He was so focused and serious that he didn't even notice the conversation between him and Lin Wenhan.

After helping his aunt finish the autumn harvest, he would find a job in the town, studying and working at the same time. This was the only way he could do it, and he only knew how to do it.

"Auntie, I still want to drink water." At the threshing floor, Shangguan Zixuan, who had rested for a while, became energetic, but he didn't have the energy he had when he first entered the village. He sat on the straw pile bleakly.

Jiang Yan was almost exhausted. The sun was making her dizzy. The dust and grass clippings around her made her not want to talk much, let alone take care of this precious young master.

"Little Fatty, why don't I call a bullock cart to take you back? As you can see, the family is very busy and I really don't have the energy to take care of you." Jiang Yan said.

Shangguan Zixuan looked at the busy and sweaty family. He didn't want to leave yet: "Aunt, I don't want to go back yet, so I'll just sit here and watch you work."

Jiang Yan:......

Do you think you are here to supervise the work?

"You follow Xiaodouzi and the others to pick up rice ears." Jiang Yan asked Lin Bei to lead the two of them to the fields to follow Xiaodouzi and the others to pick up rice ears. Anyway, this precious young master cannot be left idle, otherwise his stay will be longer.

The sun gradually set, and the sunset glow fell on the horizon, covering the entire Linjia Village with a light orange color. The threshing floor was even busier than during the day, and every once in a while, a family was working hard to thresh grains.

During the day, everyone is busy cutting rice in the fields. Only at this time will they gather here to thresh the grains. The threshed rice must be spread through a sieve to remove the empty shells and residues before it is bagged and shipped.

go home.

As usual, Jiang Yan took her two daughters-in-law home to cook dinner when it was getting dark.

The dinners in the past few days have been rich, and today is no exception. Jiang Yan also made a pot of sweet soup meatballs and left them in the well to cool for a long time. They were not served until the whole family arrived to start dinner.

Most of Shangguan Zixuan's body was leaning on Wangcai's body. Wangcai's legs were trembling from exhaustion and he could only grit his teeth and support his young master to walk into the house.

"Hungry……"

The young master looked tired, and his clothes were disheveled. His white undershirt was wrinkled, with black stains here and there. There were scratches and red marks to varying degrees on the exposed skin. Originally,

Her neat hair was messed up like a chicken nest, and she was covered in mosquito bites.

"How did it happen like this?" Jiang Yan looked at his miserable look. She knew that he was picking up rice ears, but she didn't know that she thought he had been trampled by that bastard and looked like he was done with it.

"Grandma, fat brother fell by himself. We went to catch the little grasshoppers, but he ran around when he couldn't catch them. He also chased my little chickens and fell down several times in the field." Xiaodouzi held his own.

He slowly sat down on the small bench at the vegetable table and gave a serious report. After speaking, he did not forget to say contemptuously: "He didn't even catch a single grasshopper."

As soon as he finished speaking, Erbi took out today's harvest, a total of twelve bunches, and passed the dog's tail grass through the back of the grasshopper's neck and handed it to Wang Jinhua.

"Xiaodouzi is so good, and so is Erbi. Let's eat first." Jiang Yan rubbed Xiaodouzi's little face and greeted Shangguan Zixuan to eat when she saw that there was nothing important.

Wangcai supported the young master, and the two of them looked at the table of dishes eagerly. They had been tired for a day, and now they were hungry. Smelling such fragrant food, their saliva was about to drip out.

The young master sat down and started eating. On the contrary, Wangcai stood aside, looking eagerly but unable to come over.

"Wangcai, aren't you going to eat?" Jiang Yan asked.

Wangcai was stunned, can I eat it too? He was a little panicked, but quickly adjusted his expression and said, "I'll eat after the young master and everyone have finished eating." I hope there are some leftover dishes from Aunt Jiang's house.

The food looks delicious at first sight.

Jiang Yan frowned. She didn't feel much in the village, but people in this era were divided into different classes. People like Wangcai should belong to domestic slaves. Those who have been slaves in high houses and deep courtyards since they were young are used to taking care of them.

Master, it is impossible to serve dinner.

"Come over and eat together. Our family doesn't have so many etiquette rules. As long as you work, you can eat."

Wangcai looked shocked, his eyes lingering on everyone. There were many Lin family members. He still couldn't remember who was who, but he knew Aunt Jiang. At this moment, Aunt Jiang's eyes were more eager than ever. This was the first time someone was so kind to him.

.

But he was just a servant of the Shangguan family, so he could only listen to the young master. He raised his eyes and saw that the young master huddled softly on the chair and shouted to him: "Come and eat together, I'm waiting for you."

Wangcai's eyes turned red and he sat over.
