The Transmigrated Li Jin’s Daily Farming Life
Chapter 77:
It has been more than May now, and the weather has already warmed up. Although the wind is strong on the river, it is a suitable day for traveling.
After waiting for the village, the surrounding boats gradually increased, and most of the people standing on the bow were scholars wearing long robes.
Li Jin didn't dare to hold the little bun to go out and blow the air, so he could only let him go through the greased window or the boat canopy to see the scenery outside.
Li Jin said: "When the bun is a little bigger and can run on the ground, pick a good day to take him on a boat."
"Well, what does Nafujun mean, for the time being, is there only one child for Baozi?"
Li Jin rubbed Qin Muwen's head: "For now, let's be like this, be good, we are not in a hurry."
Qin Muwen rubbed Li Jin's hand like a cat, and narrowed his eyes, "I listen to my husband."
Qin Muwen has always followed Li Jin's meaning and rarely expresses his own ideas.
Although Li Jin felt that "giving a second child" was probably not Qin Muwen's own idea, it was just that the people in the village were born like this, and he took this as a routine.
Li Jin thought for a while, and explained to him: "Our children are not expensive, but if the conditions are better in the future, we will have two children."
After all, in ancient times, it was not a blessing to have fewer children. Li Jin felt that it was enough to raise three little boys at home.
After Qin Muwen heard Li Jin's plan, his eyes lit up again, "Hmm!"
Today, there were two cubs of Li Jin on the boat, and the wind went smoothly. Before the sky was dark, they arrived at the pier outside Fucheng.
In front of the pier, there are many ox carts and carriages waiting to solicit customers, and there are even some porters.
Li Jin spent fifteen articles on hiring an ox cart and carried all his luggage up. Qin Muwen had been holding the little bun and handing bits and pieces back and forth.
The master who drove the ox cart was in a village not far from the city. He said: "I originally took a trip to Shiwen, but it's too late now. Many people dare not take jobs in the inner city.
Fortunately, your home is close, so I have to get out as soon as I run."
Li Jin said, "Thank you, Master, how long have you been driving here?"
"For more than ten years, I can run more than 20 times a day! There are many scholars and business people here, and the day is more lively."
Then Li Jin asked where the cloth, pots and pans in Fucheng are of good quality. The master of the car knows this best, and basically has to answer it every time.
When passing the inner city gate, Li Jincheng led the way and passed smoothly.
Cross a main street, turn right, and walk more than two hundred meters to see a mansion with an open door.
Li Jin held the little bun, pointed to Qin Muwen, and said, "That is our new home."
Qin Muwen's eyes widened, wondering why he didn't close the door.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Chen Xiran coming out from inside, "A Jin, sister-in-law, you are finally here."
Qin Muwen is embarrassed, what is the name of sister-in-law?
However, no distinguished person in this era would marry a brother as a regular wife, and naturally there is no special title, Qin Muwen thought, let's call it that for now.
Li Jin explained while carrying his things: "Xiran arrived in Fucheng five days ago. It happened that he was doing repairs today. I asked him to help buy some necessary furniture. Let me stay for a few days."
When Li Jin said that he was moving, Xiao An came to Qin Muwen and said that although Qin Muwen went to live in a big house in Fucheng, he used to be an empty old courtyard and had to clean up for a long time.
Qin Muwen knew Xiao An was worried about him, but he just pursed his lips: "I will go wherever A Jin is."
But here is not what Xiaoan thought. The house is very new, the courtyard walls are all white, and the branches on the Chuhuahua Gate are blooming.
Chen Xiran listened to Li Jin's words and said, "Actually, these things were made before A Jin went back last time. I just opened the door and put them away. But I bought firewood and oil lamps on my way today, thinking about you. I have to drink hot water and bought a kettle by the way."
"It's still Xiran's thoughtful consideration."
"Who made you my brother? I admit it, and I will have to come and forgive me often in the future."
"welcome any time."
The stove was cleaned last time by Li Jin, so you only need to dust it off and you can use it directly.
In the main room of the inner courtyard, there is a carved hollow babu bed without bed curtains.Chen Xiran helped move the baby bun’s walker. Before he came, Li Jin gave Qin Muwen a gesture and said, “Here you can add a dressing table and a screen at the back, with a bathtub in between.”
Qin Muwen was full of joy, and his new home was more generous and refined than he thought.A Jin erased all the fear and insecurity of coming to a strange place in his heart at the beginning, and all that was left was to like a man more.
Although Chen Xiran wanted to stay at Li Jin’s new home, there was only one bed and nothing else to entertain. He could only regretfully rush back to the college before the curfew.
Li Jin said: "This time the reception is not complete, we will have a long conversation next time we come."
"Okay, this is what you said. The college students are all playing chess recently. I have a headache about this. I will ask you next time."
Li Jin opened his mouth. Before he could say that he didn't know how to play Go, Chen Xiran already ran out.
The inner city has strict rules. Although it is occasionally inconvenient, it is safe to live here.
Li Jin locked the door, walked through the screen wall, copied the veranda, and then walked through the Chuhua Gate, and you could see the lighted room.
He walked over quickly and opened the door. Qin Muwen had already laid the bedding. The little bun woke up for most of the day when he was on the boat, and fell asleep deeply now.
The bed in the new home is as big as the previous one. The mattress is just right. Li Jin hugs the boy from behind, with his chin resting on his shoulder.
"The hot water is ready, you go take a bath."
"it is good."
After exercising, Li Jin took a cold shower directly after taking a break.
When he returned to the house, Qin Muwen sat on the outside of the bed, leaving the place inside to Li Jin.
Li Jin went to bed and said, "Why don't you sleep inside?"
Qin Muwen whispered: "According to the rules, husband should sleep on the outside of the bed, so that he can get out of bed and wait on him when he gets up at night."
And their previous bed was just a wooden plank, and the person sleeping in it could go straight down from the foot of the bed. Neither of them cared about this rule.
But the Babu bed is different. There is a roll shed on the top and a step in front of the bed. Only one side can go to bed.
Li Jin also went to the countryside to follow the customs. When he went to buy the beds, they were basically Babu beds. Li Jin chose a relatively simple and elegant style. Without lacquer, the original color of the wood looks good.
He listened to Qin Muwen's words and said, "Our family doesn't have so many rules. You can sleep wherever you want."
Qin Muwen replied, "Okay."
The two have always had only one quilt, which is different from other couples.
Li Jin hugged Qin Muwen in his arms, his posture was all strong and affectionate, so why should he pay attention to those things that distinguished and served others?
Qin Muwen was sweet in his heart, quietly raised his head and kissed the corner of Li Jin's stubbleless lips, and then quickly retracted into Li Jin's arms.
His husband doesn't like growing beards and shaves the stubble cleanly every day, very handsome.
Li Jin: "Huh?"
Qin Muwen's back was suddenly tight, because Li Jin's hand had already reached in and pressed against him.
Just when Qin Muwen thought Li Jinhui wanted him, Li Jin just hugged him tighter: "Sleep."
Qin Muwen realized that A Jin felt that the boats and cars were tired today, so he let himself take a good rest.
A few days later, Li Jin found someone to fight the case, a dressing table, four chairs and a table for the Eight Immortals.
I didn't bring pots and pans and other supplies, so I had to buy new ones.
After all, the kitchen here uses a small pot, which is different from the stove in the village; and the bowl only costs a penny, and it is likely to be broken when carried along the way. Li Jin simply didn't bring it all.
In the past few days, Li Jin deeply felt the meaning of the five words "spending money like flowing water".
He thought that if he didn't find a way to make money, his family would be struggling to make ends meet.
Just when Li Jin planned to find a way to make money and then report to the academy, Chen Xiran actually sent a message to him.
"A Jin, the college is currently recruiting teaching assistants. It is reasonable to accept only talents, but the prefect and Shan Chang discussed today and said that double case chiefs are also possible. Come sign up."
Li Jin hesitated a little bit in his heart. He felt that teaching assistants were nothing more than contacting more teachings and speaking lords to expand their popularity.
After all, most of the students in the academy have participated in the imperial examination, or are about to participate in the imperial examination.
Being an assistant teacher is naturally to expand your popularity among these people. If you have a better reputation, maybe you can get the first place in the hospital examination!
But Li Jin feels that the most important thing he faces now is to make money.
So he asked the speaker to tactfully reject Chen Xiran's suggestion.
Being a teaching assistant or finding ways to make money must choose one or the other. After all, being a teaching assistant is definitely not as leisurely as just studying homework.
It didn't take long before the person with the message came again.
"A Jin, the teaching assistant's monthly salary is three or two! There are also two fights of lumi!"
Li Jin immediately followed the person who brought the message to the academy. He was originally a double case leader, and he had Mr. Song’s letterhead. The instruction in charge of recruiting did not embarrass him. He asked some basic questions. Seeing that he had a good answer, he accepted it. With his two taels of silver, it can be regarded as tuition this year.He went through the admission procedures.
However, Li Jin does not live in the academy because he has a house in Fucheng.
The instructor said: "If this is the case, then you don't need to go through the accommodation procedures. You will start classes tomorrow, and you must not be late or leave early."
"Students know."
"You have a classmate who is acquainted with, there is no class this afternoon, let him familiarize you with the environment."
"Yes, thanks for the instruction."
The standard of Li Jin's mandarin, the person is clear and handsome, and the demeanor does not see the arrogance of the young double chief, the teachings have a good impression of him.
After Li Jin left, two figures appeared from the screen behind the instruction.
One is more than half a hundred years old and is the mountain leader of the academy, and the other...If Li Jin is still there, of course he can recognize him, that is the prefect!
"You are so optimistic about the double case chief you appointed?" Shan Chang stroked his white beard and smiled.
The prefect said: "If Shan Chang sees the policy theory he wrote, he probably has the same mentality as mine."
"Since you have said so, then I must go to the government office."
"Welcome."
Naturally, Li Jin didn't know this, even Chen Xiran probably didn't know that there was a prefect behind it.
Chen Xiran took Li Jin to sign up. There were only two places for teaching assistants, and 17 talents signed up.Among them, Li Jin looked quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"After seven days, the assessment will be conducted here, and the top two scores on the answer sheet will be the assistants. The content of the exam is three arithmetic questions and a policy theory."
The scholars looked at the instruction that announced this with suspicion.arithmetic?!
