Traveling through ancient times with golden fingers to farm and raise cubs

Chapter 84 Reading and Learning

"I have only four sons in my life, and I won't say how much I favor one over the other. I will divide the family into five parts. My wife and I will have one share, and each of the other four sons will have one share.

The fertile land is divided into five parts, four acres for each family, two acres for each family. The extra two acres are given to the old man. The old man will provide for me and my wife in the future. This extra acre is what his family deserves, and the other acre is given to the old man.

Fourth, the fourth child is already 20 years old and has not married yet. This is what I, the second child, deserve, so don’t be jealous.

We have 15 taels of silver for our family, the remaining 10 taels should be reserved for the fourth son to get a wife, 5 taels for the eldest grandson to get a wife, and the remaining 10 taels for your mother and I to keep.

There is not much food in the house. If the oldest family has a big appetite, I will give you three hundred kilograms more. The second house only has one strong laborer. If the two girls are still young, I will give you one hundred fifty kilograms less. The third family will give you one hundred and fifty kilograms more.

Two hundred kilograms. Before the fourth child got married, he would eat together with us and we would not divide it. If we save some food, we can get through this year's food supply.

The house is as it is now, whoever lives in it belongs to whom, and the other little things in the house are being carefully sorted out in private, so let’s leave it like this for now.”

Shen Dashan finished his draft in one breath and waited for the village chief and clan elders to think.

The village chief and several clan elders murmured for a long time and felt that the division was reasonable.

The village chief talked about the pension money: "The family's distribution is reasonable. What do you think of the pension money?"

Neither Shen Dashan nor the Ma family need to pay the poll tax anymore, both of them are now over fifty-six years old.

This dynasty stipulated that the poll tax did not need to be paid until the age of fifty-six, so the pension was usually 1 to 2 taels per year, which worked out to about 100 taels per month, which was four or five days' wages.

Shen Youneng saw that the space was free, so he didn't show any pretense. He got on the carriage and drove and chatted with Shen Ye and Shen Qi.

Yu Xiaoxiao planned to try to prepare the medicine by herself after reading all these books. As for the practice, forget about it.

She was afraid of getting infected, and she was not alone now.

Teach 10 characters every day and then practice calligraphy.

Shen Youshu nodded and went to get it.

Shen Panpan nodded and got in the car.

She was still making money with her mother by embroidering handkerchiefs and purses, and her father was not idle either, working as a shopkeeper and shopping in the streets.

Shen Youneng smiled and said: "Yes, Aunt Xiao, are you going to buy new year's goods too?"

After the deed was written, the village chief, Shen Dashan, and the head of the fourth house all signed their fingerprints, making six copies, one each for the couple and the fourth house, and one copy was kept with the village chief.

At this point, the separation is over.

Yu Xiaoxiao asked to stop the car and talk to Shen Youneng.

Even if Yu Xiaoxiao has a photographic memory, she has read less than twenty books in more than a month.

I guess there’s nothing new and lively to see during this time~

After wandering home, Yu Xiaoxiao said she wanted to take a nap and went into the space to read medical books.

Isn’t it just about reading and recognizing words?

The journey was smooth, and they separated when they reached the town.

Busy days always pass by quickly, and the new year is over in a blink of an eye.

Both sons thought that their mother was a genius, and even felt that Yu Xiaoxiao wasted her time. If she had learned earlier, she might be a master of calligraphy now.

Shen Panpan and Shen Qiuqiu looked at each other. Shen Qiuqiu took the lead in getting in the car. Yu Xiaoxiao pulled her and said: "Your aunt, the others, and their children are all in the car. Don't dislike it. It will keep you warm if you are crowded, and you will save time on walking."

"Okay, you go in first, I hope you can come up quickly, girl."

By the way, I also need to learn to read and understand from my son. I didn’t think it was necessary before, but now it seems that it is still necessary. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to read and I would often have to guess by myself, which is a waste of time.

Each one is wonderful in its own way.

Yu Xiaoxiao also followed into the carriage, holding Zhi'an in her arms, and a group of people stood close by.

"Okay, if you have a book, please bring your pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will write the family division deed for your family."

However, being considered a genius is not without its benefits, that is, the learning progress is accelerated, from ten words to hundreds of words per day.

The two heroines were very satisfied and didn't cause any trouble.

Otherwise, I would have to read at least a hundred books in a month, which would really affect the progress.

A month later, Yu Xiaoxiao made a habit of spying on the two heroines and found that Shen Panpan's family was discussing building a house, while Shen Qiuqiu's progress was somewhat exaggerated.

However, they failed to do so. Shen Dashan and Ma Shi drove them away. Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait any longer, so she could only peep with all her strength unwillingly.

Isn’t it too late to start learning now?

When Shen Qi and Shen Ye knew that their mother wanted to study and learn to read, they looked confused.

Yu Xiaoxiao was thinking that now that the families were separated, the next step would be to build a house.

The village chief did the math and found out that he only had enough money and 440 cash in a year, which was not much.

Both of them felt that their mother was just joking, but they did not dare to refute the sixty-year-old mother, so they could only follow her.

I didn’t see my mother being motivated when she was young!

When I left the village, I met two sisters, Shen Panpan and Shen Qiuqiu, who planned to go to the town together, as well as Shen Youneng.

The village chief and his entourage came and went in a hurry. Yu Xiaoxiao and the others, who loved to eat melons, left the yard and slipped back to watch the show.

Thinking of doing it, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait for a moment and planned to talk to her son.

"No, hurry up and get in the car. Auntie will take you with her. Girls, you and grandma can get in the car and squeeze together. If possible, you, your brother and the others can squeeze in."

"I don't want much, just give us 120 yuan per month as a family, and let them do what they want as for the holiday."

"You're capable, are you going to town?"

At Shen Dashan's house with the courtyard door closed, Shen Dashan was sullenly asking the old woman to distribute the food to each family, as well as the money, land deeds, etc. She was very busy.

Probably because of her high mental attributes, Yu Xiaoxiao remembers things quickly every day, and her writing is getting better and better every day. Her progress can be said to be rapid.

Yu Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry, since there was nothing good to watch anyway, so she patiently read and practiced calligraphy every day.

After reading it, Yu Xiaoxiao stopped paying attention and continued to study hard. As expected, she could not escape being dominated by study no matter where she went.

Yu Xiaoxiao and his family rode a carriage to the town for a stroll, buying new year goods and preparing for the New Year.

There are not an unusual number of medical books, there are more than a thousand, and there are also more than a thousand poison books.

My brothers will make arrangements now.

Yu Xiaoxiao was annoyed by the muttering, but she could only complain secretly. If she had studied earlier, the effect would not be as good as it is now.

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said: "It's okay, just sit down if you have some."

Yu Xiaoxiao and Xu Wanrou protected Yang Lian, while Shen Qi and Shen Ye took care of the children. The family left the carriage and started shopping.

When you feel hungry while shopping, you go to the stalls to eat, and then start buying new year goods after dinner.

Time flew by while shopping here and there. We had just bought all the new year's goods in the evening, but there was no room for people to sit down. In the end, Yu Xiaoxiao ordered the children and the pregnant Yang Lian and Xu Wanrou to go back in the car, while she and Shen Ye walked back.

After arriving home, Yang Lian went directly back to the house to rest. She was about to give birth, and she suddenly wanted to go shopping today. She was tired after walking around and wanted to lie down when she came back.
