still needed to prepare for the new year.The past year can be hard, sad, and confusing, but the new year is coming soon. We must pray for good weather and health, and for peace.This time, Li Laotai de...Anyone who still wants to see these books can only borrow them from Jia Ren.

While we can't say Jia Ren will be able to walk around the academy with his head held high, at the very least no one will dare to bully him. Anyone who sees Jia Ren will have to treat him with respect. 。

Looking further into the future, the students in the academy come from diverse backgrounds. Whether they are taking civil service exams or seeking livelihoods, as long as they benefit from these handwritten books, they will remember the kindness of the Li family and become members of their network.

It has to be said, Jia Ren is lucky. 。He entered the academy, and his family opened a small shop to take care of his living expenses. Now Mr. Wen is so painstakingly paving the way for his future studies and imperial examinations...Mr. Wen was afraid that the Li family would be reluctant, so he carefully explained the reasons and benefits to them in detail. 。It was then that everyone understood. Li Lao Er got up and bowed deeply to Mr. Wen, thanking him for his care for his son. 。Mr. Wen smiled and helped him up, "We're family, there's no need to be so polite." 。It was also Lao Si's willingness to take risks to retrieve these books, otherwise, no matter how much I schemed, it would be like trying to make a meal out of nothing. 。Having said that, he went on to say, “I only have today off. Tomorrow I have official business again.” 。Then he set off for Los Angeles with the books, hoping to settle everything tonight and put everyone's minds at ease. 。"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wen." 。Let's come back another day. Have Hongying cook some delicious dishes, and we can all have a good meal at home. 。“Li Laotai said gratefully:” 。Then, he also drove Li Lao Si to the field to pick a basket of fragrant melons as a gift for Mr. Wen. 。It wouldn't do to let Mr. Wen go to the academy empty-handed…Soon, Mr. Wen carefully counted the books he had chosen and loaded them into his carriage. He then took a basket of fragrant melons and, with Wen Hai in tow, set off for Luan. 。Reaching the valley entrance, Lao Er Li felt uneasy and asked Liu Biaotou to take Yi He and Liu Yang along for the journey. 。Jia Yi and Liu Yang didn't feel tired at all. Hearing that they were going to the academy, they cheered with excitement. 。 Jīa'ān and jiāxǐ hurriedly circled around their second uncle, looking at him pitifully, "Second Uncle, we haven't been to the academy yet, we also miss our big brother." 。"

Old Li wouldn't bear to see his nephews like this, so he said after thinking for a moment, "Go on, go on, you two don't cause any trouble, and come back early tomorrow." 。"Ha ha, Uncle Second is the best!" "We promise to be good!"The two naughty boys quickly jumped into the car, urging him to leave quickly, afraid that Uncle Second might go back on his word or that Grandma would find out and stop them. 。Li Lao Tai wasn't free to pay them any mind at this moment. She hadn't been home for several days, and her heart was preoccupied with worry. So she carried her granddaughter around the front and back yards, wandering as she went, until she reached the riverbank... 。This past month, cantaloupe and watermelon have almost sold out. Looking far across the riverbank, it's a clear expanse, very easy to tell 。The village head, with his hands tucked behind his back and a pipe clenched in his hand, strolled back and forth in the fields. 。He kept watch over this treasure trove in the village day and night, never feeling at ease when he was away for even a moment. 。The scorching sun tanned his face to a bronze hue, but the corners of his lips remained curled upward in a mischievous smirk. 。To prevent outsiders from coming to steal the melons, everyone in the village who could be spared was mobilized. They kept watch for a whole month. 。It was about these few days that both the winter melon and fragrant melon were almost sold out, so they withdrew half of their manpower. 。Seeing that Lao Li and Jia Yin were coming over, the village head laughed and greeted them with good news, "Look at our treasure trove! It's done great things for the village." 。"When we plant seeds in spring, we all know they are good things, but I didn't expect them to be so valuable!" Li Laotai put down Jia Yin and also smiled, "That's right, everyone can wake up smiling in their sleep!" 。“One mu of gourd field is worth more than a hundred mu of good farmland!” The village head picked a fragrant melon, washed it in the bucket by the shed, and then handed it to Jiayin. 。Old Li recalled the basket of fragrant melons from earlier and said, "That basket of fragrant melons was sent to Mr. Jia Ren Academy, purchased by our family, and Old Second has already recorded it." 。The village chief waved his hand, "What's the point of being so clear-headed Honestly, you all are still benefiting from your family. If it weren't for your family saving Young Master Ye, he wouldn't be so dedicated to helping us find pumpkin seedlings." 。"One thing is one thing, everyone here is focused on the progress of the melon field now. It's not good to ruin the friendship because of this bit of money." 。" Lao Li refused to take advantage, so the village head gave up. " 。Jiao Yin's little teeth weren't solid enough, she gnawed for a long time before managing to nibble off a bit of the melon rind. She was so impatient that she stomped her feet. 。The old woman quickly helped pound the cantaloupe, carefully leaving the rind intact. She handed the flesh to Jia Yin. 。Jia Yin held the treat in her hand, slowly nibbling on it like a little mouse. The sweet taste made her close her eyes, how could she be any cuter 。The village head couldn't help but gently touch her sky-high braid and smiled, "These children are truly blessed. In a while, the village is planning to build a school." 。In the valleys, if there were not enough hands to work, they would hire people. However, because of earning work credits, it would delay children's studies and learning. 。" Yes, this is a big deal 。We old folks are only this capable. In the future, what the village will be like still depends on the children. 。"The old woman was particularly supportive of reading, otherwise she wouldn't have gritted her teeth and sent her grandson to the academy. " 。To know, a month's ten taels of tuition would be a heavy burden for anyone's family. 。Jiao Yin listened to Grandma and the village chief talking, calculating in her heart. 。The melon field is already half empty, it's probably going to be picked clean by the end of the month and the whole garden will be abandoned. 。But her space still had two mu of land, growing several hundred cold melons and over a thousand fragrant melons. 。Then, when the opportunity arises, have Dongmei and Yezhan send them out. Just say that they were privately cultivated by Master Ye. That way, there will be a large sum of silver in hand. 。And this silver, it doesn't need to be divided in the village. The family doesn't know about it, it's all hers. 。The more Jia Yin thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but giggle, which caught the attention of Lao Tai Li and the village head. "This child is just full of joy," they both remarked, amused by her spontaneous laughter. 。" Jia Yin blushed and ran to sit by Grandma's legs. The old woman held her up onto her lap and kissed her several times, "Our little Fu Niu is a lucky star! In the future, she will have delicious food, fine clothes, and no worries." 。At this time, Li Laoer also came over and discussed with the village head to divide the food and wages in the evening. 。This month, we still haven't run out of food. There is enough to feed everyone for a year. But the riverbanks in our village have barely yielded any crops this season. People are worried and decide to continue using food as tickets nonetheless. 。When there is an abundance of grain, store it away. Having grain in hand gives one confidence in their heart. 。As for the wages, they will be divided as before. The silver from selling winter melon and sweet melon will be kept in the bank, and we will divide it all together at the end of the year. 。Although the villagers had shared both joys and hardships together, one still had to guard against the danger of those who became rich quickly. Once they had money, their minds turned wicked. 。Wait a few more months, and it will be more stable. 。Jiayin was yawning beside him and soon fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already evening. 。Li Laosi was carefully telling his daughter-in-law about the women he had encountered in the mountains, Tao Hongying had pinched him countless times already. 。It's a pity that Jiayi wasn't around, and no one could testify for Lao Si Li. It was really tough on him; he kept massaging his tender waist...Jia Yin held her rice porridge bowl, kicking her little legs, secretly watching the commotion, smiling so hard she almost choked on the porridge, then her grandmother knocked her on the head to calm her down. 。Without speaking of how Li Laosi was in dire straits, let's just say that when Mr. Wen and the others arrived in Lu'an, it was almost time for school to end at the academy. 。He handed in the posting and was quickly ushered inside. 。Mr. Wen and Mr. Peng were classmates when they were young. Although they were separated for many years, this time back home, the two started to get close again. 。Although the two people have experienced many things over the years, their personalities haven't changed, so they still get along very well. 。Otherwise, Mr. Wen wouldn't have entrusted Jia Ren to Mr. Peng for daily instruction. 。When friends meet, it's natural to have a few laughs. 。years younger, made her want to chop the Chang Princess up and braise her in red sauce!But to say that the Chang Princess's Mansion went to such lengths, even involving Baozhu, just to force their dau...
