Chapter 14: 14th
Chapter 14
Scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce have obvious hierarchical boundaries. Therefore, bookmakers admire scholars most.
It's just that Li Jin was obsessed with the top card of Piaoxiangyuan in the town, and wanted to learn from the rich.
But his family is so poor in reality, how can there be money to give him Baotou cards?
Li Jin’s family may not be able to eat meat during the New Year, and they have to rely on his naflang to sew things to subsidize the family.
This led the villagers to look down on Li Jin.
——At least it proves that the folk customs of this generation are simple, and everyone looks down on the useless men.
Besides, the parents of Lao Li said from generation to generation that Li Jin had studied some books with a talented person in the town. When I came back to the village, I never saw Li Jin write a pen.
Over time, everyone felt that Li Jin had spent money in school and learned nothing.
Of course, the villagers did not say this in front of Li Jin, but they all knew it well.
Li Jin Jin'er played chess with Li Daniu. This move made people in the village suddenly feel that... This person seems to have learned something while studying in the town.
It's not so useless.
After three sets, Li Jin watched more and more onlookers.
Said to Li Daniu: "My husband just gave birth to a child. I can't get out for too long. I will be here today and I will play chess with you next time."
Li Daniu also had the same idea, he was really almost autistic by Li Jin's chess!
I thought it was a good move, but I didn't expect it to fall into Li Jin's trap, and he was eaten clean by the ‘car’ with a ‘cannon’.
Li Daniu said: "I can't play with you, so remember to let me take a few steps next time you play chess!"
Li Jin agreed without hesitation: "Success."
After Li Jin left, Li Daniu quickly called out a person from the crowd of onlookers.
"Er Gouzi, come and play chess with me! Playing chess with Li Jin is simply too exhausting. I don't know which step to take. It's all within this man's calculations."
Er Gouzi had a bitter face, and still sat opposite Li Daniu.
"Brother, I can't beat you..."
Li Daniu took out the purse, counted two copper plates from it, and handed it to Er Gouzi.
"Give you these two copper plates, accompany me in the next rounds."
This is all small money, and Ergouzi just collected it.
The onlookers saw Li Daniu's heavy purse sharply, and said with a smile: "Brother Daniel, you have made a fortune."
Li Daniu said: "It's not that Li Jin bought some quilts from my house yesterday, and he gave me the money today."
The villagers onlookers: "..." Why is Li Jin again?
Li Jin's family is so poor, where did so much money come from?
Regardless of what the onlookers think, Li Daniu said with emotion: "I said, this scholar is amazing. Just copy a few books to the bookstore in town and you can buy quilts. That's all new cotton, four catties. The quilt!
We, the dealer, have to cut a busy farming wheat to make this money. "
His tone was mixed with envy, "Li Jin took the quilt back from my house, and I went to the village chief to calculate the money.
When the village head counted the calculated money, Li Jin only glanced at the list and told me the amount directly. Let me say that what the fortune-teller said was really good, and Li Jin is the material for reading. "
Someone obviously didn't believe it: "If Li Jin can earn money by studying, how come his family couldn't open the pot so many times before and asked the villagers for food?"
This statement really makes sense.
Li Daniu said while playing chess: "Isn't that because people didn't want to make money before?
Now his husband could not move after giving birth to the child, and Li Jin had to support the family, and then he went out to make some money. "
None, cannot be refuted.
Li Daniu is not as good as Li Jin, but he has a good mentality. Whoever can beat him, he will serve him.
Because of Li Daniu's words, many people who came to watch chess this time have a better impression of Li Jin.
But to what extent this change has actually changed, they themselves can't tell.
Only after they really come into contact with Li Jin, this change will be truly implemented in their hearts.

Li Daniu went home after playing chess and handed the money bag to his wife.
As a man, he just cares about making money. The task of managing the money is the daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law was surprised: "Li Jin gave you the money so soon?"
Even if this quilt and two mattresses were sold in the town, it would take ten days and a half to get the money.
Li Daniu was a bit dissatisfied with his wife's attitude towards Li Jin: "Well, isn't it? You even tricked me to go to the village chief at night and made this list.
Ask me to say that Li Jin is a scholar after all, how can he not admit it? "
The daughter-in-law puts the money bag in the pit dug under the bed, and doesn't care about other things with her man.
Anyway, the money is good, not to mention that Li Jin has a bad reputation. Even if his brothers took so many things, he still has to settle the accounts, right?
However, Li Jin paid back the money so quickly, he was a real person.
It seems that once this person becomes a father, he is different from before.
Don't mess around.

When Li Jin returned home, Baozi lay beside the boy and slept soundly.
The young man himself was holding Li Jin's old clothes, seemingly gesticulating sizes.
Li Jin didn't say anything. He said in the morning that he would let the boy have time to make clothes for himself, but he just didn't want the boy to join the work of sewing his purse.
After all, the boy is a person who can't be idle, so it's better to find something easy for him to do.
In the final analysis, Li Jin still has a strong possessiveness. Now he has figured it out and has classified the teenagers and children as family members.
So... Li Jin doesn't want the things made by the teenagers to be sold for money.
auzw.com Qin Muwen only felt that a huge shadow was cast over his head. Before he could react, Li Jin took the clothes in his hands.
Li Jin asked: "Did you plan to make me clothes so early?"
Qin Muwen's face suddenly blushed, although he and Li Jin had already had the closest skin-to-kin relationship.
When giving birth, Li Jin took the child out and cut the umbilical cord.
But in the past two years of getting married, the two of them seldom talked and kissed almost nothing. Every time they did Li Jin, they went straight in, without the slightest tenderness, and rudeness with disdain.
Qin Muwen held Li Jin's close-fitting clothes like this and carefully compared the size, it was the first time.
Coincidentally, it was also discovered on the spot by Li Jin.
Li Jin said: "These clothes are all a bit small. You don't need to hold the old clothes to compare the size. You can measure them directly after I cut the cloth."
His body is now only eighteen years old. It is the time to grow his body. Since he is going to make new clothes, it is better to measure his shoulder width, arm length, and leg length directly.
Qin Muwen obediently agreed.
At noon in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, people who are exposed to the sun do not know what eve is.
Fortunately, there is a persimmon tree in the yard, which brings some shade to people.
Li Jin is doing push-ups under the tree. His body is too weak and he must exercise more.
——Even if you can't see the muscles after taking off your clothes, you can't just look at the ribs.
He had only done eighteen push-ups, and he couldn't support it.
But Li Jin still clenched his teeth and made thirty.
Then he rested for three minutes and continued.
Li Jin had been a person who never left the gym in his life. As long as he didn't work overtime, he would go to the gym for one and a half hours of exercise and half an hour of stretching every day.
Therefore, his muscles were very beautiful in his previous life, not as tight as a fitness trainer, but streamlined, wrapped in the skin, the typical clothes are thin and fleshy.
After Li Jin exercised, he took a shower with water.
The sun was not as strong as it was at noon. He planned to mow the wheat and grass together, and put it up to feed the pigs to the sheep.
Anyway, there is more grass than wheat in his home, so picking one by one is too time-consuming, it is better to not all.
Li Jin asked where the boy's sickle was.
The boy was stunned, and obediently told Li Jin the place, which was under the chopping board in the kitchen.
Li Jin said: "I went to mow the grass in our home, and today we still have a lot of rapeseed back. I will grow vegetables in our home in the future."
In ancient times, the division of labor between men and women was really clear. If washing, cooking, sewing and mending were the work of women and brothers, that kind of farming and chopping wood was the work of men.
Before Qin Muwen saw Li Jin go to wash clothes, he was so frightened.
At this moment, when Li Jin said that he was going to mow the grass, Qin Muwen was even more panicked than seeing Li Jin washing his clothes.
But he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Li Jin thought, this boy is really young, and he writes all his inner thoughts on his face.
Li Jin asked: "You want to say, go and mow the grass yourself? I don't need to do this kind of work?"
——The husband of his family simply treats himself as an unweaned child.
Although the boy didn't nod or shook his head, that was exactly what he meant in his big eyes.
When Qin Muwen first got married, his mother-in-law, who was Li Jin's mother, demanded that from him.
"Our family Li Jin is a scholar and can't do farm work. His hands are for writing with a pen. You will do all this in the future, you know?"
At that time, Qin Muwen was only fifteen years old and his family was in decline. He started to learn to do farm work and serve people from the son of Shangshu who was not touched by the sun.
It has been two years now.
Li Jin rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Farming is always what a man should do, right? I won't be robbing you of laundry in the future."
He took the sickle and the back basket to go out. He didn't see it. The boy had already burst into tears without knowing it.
Qin Muwen shrank into the quilt, crying silently.
Since Dad died, no one has ever treated him so nicely.
Li Jin did some farm work in his previous life. After all, he is a medical student. During his eight years of study, he used his summer vacation to teach in the mountains.
When I am free, I will help the villagers do some farm work.
It was learned at that time to cut wheat and beat wheat.
Both of Li Jin's parents died two years ago. His family has a small population, so the village head allocated only two mu of land to him.
After all, there are a lot of fields and a large family population, and there are many taxes to be paid each year.
If no one is doing farm work, the land will be deserted.
The original owner, Li Jin, was very dissatisfied with the village head's repossession of his house, but now Li Jin feels that this is a wise decision.
There are now three people in his family, and two mu of land is enough.
Even though Li Jin has the foundation of farm work in his previous life, he is still different from the dealer who often does this.
But fortunately, his family has little land, and he cut the grass for two hours, so that he can cut the two acres by a quarter.
The dealer in the village originally saw Li Jin coming with a sickle, and planned to teach the pampered ‘young master’ how to mow the grass.
After all, when playing chess, Li Jin's hand holding a chess piece has long joints and a skin like white jade, which is more beautiful than the hand of the little lady.
But this is indeed a man's hand.
They didn't expect that Li Jin's hands would be so clean when he picked up the sickle.
Although the movements were a bit unskilled, but after doing it all afternoon, the people around him watched Li Jin's movements become more and more proficient, and the speed of cutting the grass became faster and faster.
When it was getting dark, Li Jin walked back with the villagers.
Some people who excluded him in the past have stopped being cold-faced at him now, and even some elders praised: "Li Jin is really different now."
The author has something to say: It is necessary to write about these attitude changes. After Li Jin will take an examination of scholars, he needs five people in the village and one scholar to guarantee his good character before he can qualify for the examination.
