Chapter 388: reward

A month later, Liu Lun, Liu Yang, and Liu Ying were sent to the academy to study, which alarmed everyone in the village. Even if they did their best to raise one scholar, the Liu family sent three at once. Everyone doubted it. Has the Liu family made a fortune?

But Liu Ting quickly dispelled everyone's idea. They didn't plan to send a few children to take the imperial examinations. They only planned to let them recognize some characters, learn two or three years, and then go to learn crafts.

For three to two or three years, it is better to pay for one for ten years. Even Liu He persuaded them that if they really have the money, it is better to pay for one, maybe they can get a Tongsheng test?

Liu Ting said with a smile: "I think so, but none of them are expected to read books, so they have a headache when they read a book, so try not to let them be blind."

Liu He frowned, "It's better to save the money for other purposes, why do you have to go to school? If you don't take the imperial examinations, how useful are those few words?"

"Those who can read can learn their crafts quickly, and they won't suffer too much," Liu Ting said, "Alang can learn things so much faster than others when he can read."

The Liu family insisted on their own opinions, and it was not easy for the clan to interfere too much, but most of them suspected that they were sponsored by Mu Yangling. The Liu family made a high-profile appointment for Liu Xuan to be a daughter-in-law.

Twenty-two-year-old Liu Xuan is already an old young man, because it has always been difficult to talk about relatives in the army, and many people in the village are like this. This time, the Liu family gave him a high dowry and married him a 16-year-old daughter.

Many bachelors in the village were jealous. Everyone thought that the Liu family must have made a fortune. Then Liu Lang met a noble on Jingzhaofu Road and reached out to help and got a lot of money. There was a lot of news.

Liu Lang's reward, plus the money borrowed from Ma Liu's family, filled the gap in the Liu family. Everyone was envious, but no one said anything about leading the child to Mu Yangling.

The Liu family breathed a sigh of relief, and then moved quickly to marry Liu Xuan.

Rural people don’t have so many rules for marrying wives and daughters. After asking about the name and accepting the color, they directly agreed to get married after a month. Liu Xuan also asked for a ten-day marriage and went home one day earlier.

Mu Yangling brought everyone back for wedding wine, and even Mu Shi took half the sky to come over.

The gift from the Mu family was six points thicker than that of other families, but because they were the whole family coming to the feast, this "great gift" was not so thick.

But Mu Yangling gave Liu Xuan fifty taels of silver in private, and said with a smile: "Buy candy for my future little cousin."

Liu Xuan's handsome face was red, and Mu Yangling sighed, "Uncle Xuan, you are so handsome, and auntie is really lucky."

Mu Yangling said this in the bridal room, and the other three aunts heard it. They smiled and bent over, pushing Liu Xuan to the bedside and sitting side by side with the bride, "What's the use of looking at Jun? It's up to the bride to watch. Only when you are satisfied, Ah Xuan, lift your hijab and show us whether you are more handsome or the bride is more handsome."

Liu Xuan was embarrassed for a moment, and carefully lifted the hijab with the steel scale. The bride's face was flushed with shame, and she quickly raised her eyes to look at everyone, and then lowered her head again, but only one glance was enough for Liu Xuan to see each other's eyebrows. Yes, it does look beautiful.

Liu Xuan grinned behind his ears.

Bowen pulled Bo Sikejia to observe Uncle Xuan's expression curiously, Mu Yangling looked back and took out a few small ones, saying: "Okay, let's all go out, don't disturb Uncle Biao into the bridal chamber. "

Liu Xuan angrily shouted: "A-Ling, be careful I'll spank your ass."

A few children laughed and shouted, "Cousin was beaten—"

The gift from Mu Yangling made up for the gap in the Liu family, and even had a lot of money left over, Liu Erqian happily found Liu Daqian, "Brother, let's just use the money to build a new house, or you can see This mud room, I'm really worried that one day I will fall asleep when I fall asleep."

Liu Daqian pondered for a moment, and said, "It's too early to build now. Let's wait until winter comes. At that time, there will be more people. Alang and A Ting can also get a lot of money back, and the two will do it together."

Liu Erqian happily agreed.

Liu Zhuang and Liu Yuan also took some money out. Their family has always been in harmony, and there were two old men on their heads, and the money was distributed unevenly, so no one was angry and objected.

Liu Xuan went to the military camp with his cousin Liu Zhuang ten days later, and only came back two days every ten days.

Liu Xuan started harvesting corn soon after the wedding, because farmers who owe work also have to harvest their own crops. Mu Yangling is very tolerant and arranges the time in a staggered manner, and the coherent arrangement will not exceed two days. At first, he was worried that he would have to repay the completion period. The farmers who could only receive their own food were relieved.

Mu Yangling has been living in the nursery during this period of time, and works in the fields every day. Xiuhong, Liu Lang and Bowen started walking around the fields with their notebooks, asking if there was anything different from yellow corn. Not to mention corn, because there are many crops, more than 200 different varieties of corn have been found in the 14 acres of corn.

The children in the kindergarten turned the class slightly, and followed Mu Yangling to the ground every morning before dawn, and then returned to the kindergarten to start classes at around 9:00 in the morning.

There are about four hours of working time every day. Mu Yangling did not stop them, but just asked the kitchen to give them more meat. The children regarded this as encouragement and they worked harder.

And Bosi and Kejia are also playing crazy in the field, because the harvest here is too big, Shu Wanniang and aunt also came to help, and the dragon and the phoenix naturally came, the two little boys went to patrol hand in hand, occasionally helping to pick up The corn on the ground was thrown into the frame, and every day it went out clean and came back dirty.

The harvested corn is hung under the beams of the house, or dried on the lawn, and the children in the nursery are watching, not worried about being stolen.

Mu Yangling asked everyone to pay attention not to steal the food, the reason is, "These are your rations, so be careful, don't be eaten by birds and mice, otherwise we will only be hungry next year."

The children in the kindergarten also know that the food they eat is produced by these fields, so they organized ten teams of people to inspect and bask in the sun, and Mu Yangling does not need to worry at all.

Mr. Liu kept watching, watching the children actively help harvesting, drying, and even threshing the corn, all of which were done by more than 1,000 children. He couldn't help but ponder, Mu Yangling was willing to spend so much effort Building a kindergarten also uses these labors, right?

Mu Yangling pushed a cart of corn and dumped it on the ground. Seeing Mr. Liu standing aside, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he wiped his sweat and asked, "Mr. Liu, what are you thinking?"

Mr. Liu didn't answer, just looked at the older children in the field and said, "Miss Mu, these children are a little uneasy recently."

Mu Yangling followed his eyes and saw that the oldest children in the kindergarten were all thirteen years old. There were twenty-six such children in the kindergarten.

"Why are you upset?"

"They are afraid of turning 14 and leaving the nursery, so you see, they work as hard as they can before it's time for work."
