She no longer has to work as hard as before. Although Jiang Nian has a lot of things to do, things like drying and processing medicinal materials, washing clothes and cooking are relatively easy. They just take time, but they allow her to learn a lot. Cooking can improve her culinary skills, and processing medicinal materials can also help her understand a lot about pharmacology, which is a great help to her.
Moreover, Jiang Nian had a lot of books in her room that she could borrow and read. If she didn't understand something, she could ask her. Occasionally, when she was not around, she could ask Brother Li Rui.
He was also a very good big brother. When he knew her real age, his expression exploded for a moment.
Only then did Zhou Xiaoju realize that they all thought she was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
In fact, she is already sixteen years old, but she is short and malnourished, so she looks like a little bean sprout that has not grown up.
Jiang Nian also prescribed some medicine for her to take care of her body, and used her work to pay for the medicine.
Her physical condition is really not good. She has suffered serious losses at a young age. Fortunately, she lives with me now. If she continues like before, she may not be able to have children in the future.
Moreover, overdrawing your body too early will lead to a short life.
Sometimes, Zhou Xiaoju couldn't help thinking that she could be so lucky.
But this luck only came after the death of the mother she wanted to protect the most.
Now when she thinks of her, she no longer feels sad.
After all, she was so cruel that she didn't even have the courage to take them away and cruelly abandoned her and her immature brother.
Sometimes she thought, it would be great if she could live like this for the rest of her life.
Li Rui raised 20 ducks. Just as he thought, he only needed to drive the ducks in the morning and evening every day. There were fish, clams and snails in the river, which could all become food for the ducks.
It’s just that river clams and snails require people to pick out the meat inside, which is a bit laborious.
After the busy farming season was over, they started making mud blocks to prepare for the construction of a youth settlement. Li Rui begged the village chief for several days before he was granted the right to live alone like Jiang Nian.
Of course, he had to pay for it himself, and he built a house and a large shed next to the pond where he kept ducks.
He also had a plan. There were many forests in this place and there was no shortage of firewood. He planned to burn a fire in the shed in winter. As long as the temperature was maintained at a certain level, the ducks could continue to lay eggs.
Although it takes time, eggs are expensive in winter.
Zhao Heping's literacy classes are also run well, but most of the students attending the classes now are children, who have stronger learning abilities and more free time.
The adults went to school for a while, but because they were still busy with farm work and housework, they were so tired that they felt that learning to read was useless, so they simply stopped going.
Occasionally, when Village Chief Zhou went to the cooperative for meetings, he would praise the new educated youth in the village.
Although they may not be able to work as hard as the villagers, they all have their own ideas and dare to think and act, and they all do a good job. None of this year's educated youth have added burden to the village, but have brought them many conveniences.
Although Zhao Heping and Niu Aixiang borrowed some grain from the village, their literacy classes taught the children to read. There is a difference between those who have been to school and those who have not. They speak very clearly and have profound truths one after another.
Village chief Zhou is not as ignorant as most people. He always thinks that it is much better for children to learn knowledge than to have a bare head and know nothing.
Jiang Nian came back from outside and found the house in a mess. The herbs in the yard were all scattered on the ground and trampled into a mess.
The black cat lay motionless at the door, its head drooping on the ground, leaving a pool of blood that had turned black.
The tabby cat lay beside it, meowing and licking its fur from time to time.
Seeing Jiang Nian coming back, the tabby cat raised its head, meowed sharply, jumped towards Jiang Nian, and circled around her feet anxiously. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
