As soon as the morning dawned, Su Wen got up with difficulty amidst the gentle calls of the maid, patted her face to wake herself up, and then quickly dressed and got out of bed to wash up.

It seems that as long as you move quickly enough, the cold air cannot catch up with you.

When they got out of the room, everyone in the family was already up. The grandparents were telling little brother Su not to make any noise when he got to school, and to be good and don't jump in front of Xu Jiajun.

Su Xiaodi was crying and refusing to go out. Su Wen frowned, and she and the maid came forward and took him away.

"Wen'er!" Mrs. Su chased after her, handed a bowl of thick and hot millet porridge to her daughter's mouth, and asked her to take a few sips to cushion her stomach.

But there was really no time. Su Wen didn't care about lady etiquette and took a big sip, thinking that it would be fatal if she was late.

"Take another sip and another sip. How can you do it without eating? It's so cold in the county school. If you don't have something to eat, you will freeze to death!"

As Mrs. Su spoke, she chased her daughter to feed her breakfast, fearing that her daughter would be abused by Xu Jiajun in the county school and cause trouble.

Su Wen really didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly said to her mother: "There is a charcoal fire in the county school, and it's not cold at all." Then she and the maid dragged Su Wen to the county school quickly.

Mrs. Su had a worried look on her face. She obviously didn't really believe that Xu Jiajun could give up the charcoal fire, but she couldn't say anything else. She sighed, turned around and went into the hospital, tidied up, and then went out to the literacy class to learn literacy.

As for the former prefect Su Ci, he had never gone home to sleep for a night since Xu's army entered the city.

However, whenever there is a chance during the day, Su Ci will still go home and show up so that his family does not have to worry about him. He is now helping Xu Jiajun and there is no fear for his life.

.

If this happened normally, Su Wen would not dare to run so recklessly on the street.

But now, when I look up, among the neighbor ladies in the surrounding houses, which one can't run faster than her?

In previous winters, she would never get up so early. At least she would wait until it was fully dark and warm before getting out of the warm quilt.

But now it can't be done. The female leader has set a time. She must arrive at the school at 6:30 in the morning. If she is late, she will be deducted.

It's a small thing to deduct money, but the scary thing is that if you are late, you will be punished by doing push-ups - what these ladies are most afraid of is doing such inappropriate things in public.

Junmei, who set this rule, has figured it out for them.

There are not many children in Yuyang County. There are more than 2,000 people in total, over six years old and under eighteen years old. There are only two youth classes.

One is a female student, and the other is a male student. Xu Yue has thought carefully about it, and cannot take too big steps at once, as it will pull the crotch.

For the time being, it would be easier for these people to accept the distinction between men and women.

Su Wen first threw her little brother into the boys' class, and then she and the maid sprinted into the classroom one second before the bell rang.

Su Wen did not lie to her mother. The classroom was warm. Not only had the doors and windows been re-opened, but four pots of burning charcoal were placed in the four corners.

The person who taught them was also a young girl who came from Xujiazhuang.

These women from Xujiazhuang are easy to identify. Look at the length of their hair and whether their figures are round. If they have short hair, their complexion is particularly good, and their figures are not dry but voluptuous, they are women from Xujiazhuang.

People in the city have long known that Xujiazhuang is wealthy. Everyone, whether it is the owner or the villagers, has enough to eat. They are also tall and strong, with fleshy faces and bright eyes, exuding a completely different kind of vitality.

.

Looking at the people in the city, they all have sallow faces, lack of food and salt, big bellies, big necks, and complexions that can be compared with the people of Xujiazhuang. Only those big families, even the official records of Su Wen's family, are not like them.

sturdy.

The woman in Xujiazhuang could not be said to be good-looking. Su Wen's evaluation of this lady could only be regarded as pleasing to the eye.

Different from what is learned in ordinary schools, pinyin and simplified Chinese characters are taught here, which is very weird, but combined with some short stories told by the lady, Su Wen is always fascinated.

get out of class ends on time at 12 o'clock in the morning, and there is a two-hour lunch break in between, so you can go home and move around freely.

As soon as Xu Jiajun entered the city, he not only changed the time, but also changed the weight and size.

The first class Su Wen took was Xu's Measurement.

One meter is equal to one hundred centimeters, one pound is equal to two hundred and fifty grams, and time is divided into twenty-four hours a day. In short, they are all new and weird things, but they seem to be a complete system that can withstand repeated consideration.

"Su Wen!" The lady called to the group of ladies.

Su Wen and others stopped anxiously, consciously thinking about whether they had done anything wrong in the past few days.

The female leader was actually quite gentle to them, not as cruel as she was to the wealthy landlords, so the girls gradually became bolder.

However, the fear of Xu Jiajun has never diminished.

The lady took out a few wooden chips from a cloth bag and said, "This is the wages for the nine of you who copied the book. You copied it for four days in total, and each of you received one hundred and twenty dollars."

After saying that, he handed two red wooden chips and one purple wooden chip to Su Wen, and the other eight people did the same.

The nine young ladies were very happy at first, and then when they saw these small pieces of wood, their smiles suddenly became uncontrollable.

But I still have to say thank you to my wife.

The lady nodded: "The butcher's shop and grocery store will be opening soon. You can buy some meat, salt, sugar and the like to go home."

People in Xujiazhuang never talk unnecessary nonsense. After talking, the lady left.

Only Su Wen and her nine little sisters were left looking at the small pieces of wood in their hands with dejected expressions on their faces.

Of course they recognized that this was the Xujia chip. They had all been taught in class that one dollar could be exchanged for a green chip, ten dollars could be exchanged for a red chip, and a hundred dollars could be exchanged for a purple chip.

But all the shops in the city are closed. Even if they are open, can they collect their wood chips?

The girls suddenly felt that all their previous work was in vain, their fingers blistered from copying, and this is the result?

Several people were very angry, but did not dare to show it. Xu Jiajun was coming and going around them. If they were seen, who knew what would happen?

However, Su Wen secretly remembered what the wife just said. The butcher shop and grocery store will be opened soon. The family has not had fresh meat for a long time, and they are short of oil, salt and sugar. If Xu Jiajun really opens the shop, mother

And grandma must be very happy.

Especially the Xu family's sugar and salt, which are fine and refined goods. They wanted to sell some of them before, but when they arrived late, they were all bought away.

But, how long will this take immediately?

Su Wen returned home with the wood chips she had earned. It was rare to see her father there, so she hurriedly told the Xu family about opening a shop.

When Grandma Su heard this, she was overjoyed, "It's freezing cold today, and the merchants stopped walking around the year before. I thought it would be too late to buy again after the New Year. I only had more than a month's worth of meat at home, but when Xu Jiajun came...

.... Alas, your father has long been clamoring for meat mince, but all the shops in the city are closed, so even if you have money, you can't buy it."
