Chapter 35
Chapter 35
After the beginning of July, the originally busy county school became different.
Because everyone is waiting for the holidays!
It’s been half a year, half a year.
Even during the Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, the county school only has one day off.
There is finally a long holiday in July.
No matter how hard-working a student is, there is no one who doesn't want to have a holiday.
Ji Yuan looked at this with a bit of surprise.
It’s good to have a holiday, so I can go back and see Master Zhao and Dahai and the others.
Dahai studied veterinary medicine for a few months, I don’t know how he is doing now.
I also copied a few books that Master Zhao didn't have, and wanted to show them to him.
In addition to these things, I also need to discuss with Uncle An how to prepare this year's silage.
After the autumn harvest, the grass turns yellow quickly and silage must be made in advance.
In the tense and serious atmosphere, Zhengrong County School finally had a few days of long vacation.
The seven-day holiday is commonly known as the Wheat Holiday.
When Ji Yuan was very young in his previous life, there was also wheat holiday.
When the wheat is ripe in July and August, we let the students go home for a week or half a month to help harvest the wheat and do some hard labor.
This holiday is very regional, so many people are not aware of it.
Most of the people in Jianmeng Mansion where they live grow wheat, so this kind of holiday is quite common.
If the wheat is not harvested in time, the yield may be reduced. If more laborers aged 14, 15 or 16 go back, it will be of great help.
During the busy farming season, more people mean more help.
Many students from the county school rushed back to help as soon as their holidays came.
For Ji Yuan, Qian Fei and Li Ting, this holiday is of no use to their families.
Qian Fei and Li Ting have rich families and do not need their help.
Ji Yuan's family was too poor and had no land to farm.
As for the land of his third uncle and aunt, he would not go to help.
But I still have to go home.
Li Ting packed up his things and went back, and Ji Yuan was no exception.
Only Qian Fei sighed. Normally everyone was in the county town, but now he was the only one left.
Qian Fei also said: "If you come back early, remember to come to my house. My father likes you very much."
Qian Fei's father had a very good impression of Ji Yuan Li Ting.
Especially the era.
I thought Qian Fei's merchant status would make him excluded in the county school, but after the establishment of Jiyuan, the situation has improved a lot.
Besides, considering Ji Yuan's academic performance, he also taught his son to read and write. Qian Fei's father was eager to give him money for this favor.
After Ji Yuan declined, the parents increased the lunch servings again and again so that Ji Yuan could eat well.
The little money spent on the food is nothing to the Qian family.
I don’t know if it’s because the meal was rich enough.
It was probably because Ji Yuan had been running for a long time. When he returned to Anji Village this time, many people asked, "Brother Yuan? Is that you?"
"Grown taller."
"I've gained weight, too."
"No, it's not fat, it's just that it looks better."
The previous Ji Yuan was too thin, and his whole body was skinny and small.
Although studying was hard during these few months in the county school, it was much easier than when I was at Uncle Ji's house.
Ji Yuan has gained some weight, and although he is still thin, he already looks like a handsome young man.
In addition, the clothes issued by the county school were simple and refreshing, and anyone who saw him felt that he had become a different person.
When the nine-year-old Ji Yuan walked to that station, everyone thought he was a noble young man from some family.
This body is similar to Ji Yuan's in his previous life, and his appearance seems to be like their mother's. His eyes are narrow and bright, like peach blossom eyes, and his smile is very touching.
Sometimes when Ji Yuan looked at himself on the water, he felt that he was almost the same as when he was a child in his previous life?
Forget about it. If he could grow a few centimeters taller in this life and reach 1.87 meters, he would be satisfied.
Ji Yuan returned to Anji Village, greeting everyone along the way and saw many familiar faces.
Now that he was back in the village, he still had to visit his third uncle's house.
After all, he is a relative and his uncle, so it would be inappropriate not to go there.
But after he entered his uncle's house, he went straight to the cowshed to find Xiao Huang.
You can do the surface work, but forget about the substance.
But Xiao Huang was not in the cowshed.
Yes, during the busy farming season, the cows are not kept at home. They are either used by the farmers themselves or rented out.
The cowshed was in a mess, and Ji Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to clean it up.
Before he could do anything, a man came out from the main room, looking like he had just woken up.
It was broad daylight, the cows had all gone out to work, and this man had just woken up.
"era!"
Ji Yuan glanced at Uncle Ji and said indifferently, "Uncle Ji."
Uncle Ji didn't recognize Ji Yuan at first.
I went to school in the first month of the new era. He appeared in March when the cattle were sick. Now it is the end of July.
I haven't seen Ji Yuan for a few months. He has grown a lot taller and is not as thin as before.
Although he had been studying in the county school, Ji Yuan never fell behind in exercise and could easily clean up the cowshed.
Uncle Ji naturally wouldn't stop him. What was wrong with having someone help clean the barn?
Uncle Ji's eyes turned and he said, "I heard that your county school still gives out money. Is that true?"
Ji Yuan was too lazy to answer. Dahai had met him before, and his uncle and aunt thought he could earn money by studying.
Although the amount of money he had did not decrease, this profit was different from the other.
"I, your uncle, have a good way to make money recently. Do you want to try it?"
"According to the law, gathering for gambling will result in at least ten strokes of the cane." Ji Yuan directly stated his "good idea", which made Uncle Ji shut up.
He didn't dare say anything until Ji Yuan helped Xiao Huang take care of the cowshed.
Ji Yuan turned around and left, going directly to Master Zhao's house, with no intention of staying at his third uncle's house for long.
Not long after he left, Aunt Ji San, who had just returned from renting cattle, looked at the clean cowshed and subconsciously said, "Who's coming to our house! An Dahai?!"
Except for Ji Yuan who asked An Dahai to come and help, no one knew how to clean the cowshed.
Uncle Ji?
Even more impossible.
Doesn't she know what her man is like?
She has become increasingly lazier in recent years and is the one doing all the work in the fields.
Uncle Ji curled his lips and said, "Ji Yuan is on holiday and is back."
Era?!
"Did you tell me about that?" Aunt Ji San quickly grabbed him and said.
Uncle Ji was stunned: "What's the matter?"
"Are you a pig?! It's about Li Ge'er being a veterinarian!"
Uncle Ji forgot about this and just remembered that he wanted to ask Ji Yuan for money.
Aunt Ji cursed loudly and whipped Uncle Ji with the rope in her hand: "If you can't even do this, what's the use of you? You just gamble every day, and what results do you get?!"
The neighbors closed their doors.
This one has started again.
It seems to be because of Ji Li’s matter again.
I also heard the word "veterinarian". Oh, whose child doesn't want to be a veterinarian nowadays?
That would be a good business, but unfortunately, his child is too old and no one wants to take him in.
An Dahai from the same village studied veterinary medicine and is very proud of it.
It was Jiyuan who recommended it. It’s different after going to the county school.
Ji Yuan didn't know yet that the veterinary profession has become very popular. He was still on his way to Master Zhao's house.
It happened that the private school students were finishing school at noon, and they all looked at Ji Yuan curiously.
The private school in the village does not have holidays. The students here are generally young and are all in the village, so it doesn't matter whether there is a wheat harvest holiday or not.
These must be new students. When An Xiaohe saw him, he couldn't help but say, "Ji Yuan, you've grown taller."
Why does everyone say this when they see him?
Ji Yuan nodded.
An Xiaohe was a little embarrassed. They used to be in a private school, and now Ji Yuan was becoming famous in the county, and she was still studying here.
But the more I read, the more I realized how big the gap is between myself and Ji Yuan.
I heard from Master Zhao that Jiyuan's monthly exam results last month ranked him among the top ten in the county school. That's really enviable.
When the students around heard the name Ji Yuan, their eyes widened subconsciously.
"era?"
"It really is Ji Yuan."
"So this is what he looks like."
"The clothes at the county school are so nice."
Ji Yuan felt helpless after being looked at, so he greeted everyone with a smile and then went to find Master Zhao.
Master Zhao was naturally surprised to see Ji Yuan coming back, and the two had a conversation at noon.
When Master Zhao went to class in the afternoon, Ji Yuan studied in the small room.
Listening to the reading aloud in the private school, I felt somewhat emotional.
In a blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Last year he was still reading outside the window.
But why are there a few tables and chairs outside the window?
After school in the afternoon, Master Zhao said, "There are a few poor people in the village. Sitting outside the window is cheaper, so they take the initiative to sit outside."
In fact, it is also imitating the era.
Master Zhao had no choice but to agree.
He now has thirty or forty students and is not short of students from outside. He agreed to the offer in order to give them a chance.
Maybe there will be another era?
Master Zhao himself laughed.
It’s not that simple.
Not to mention Ji Yuan's talent, his diligence is unique.
When Mr. Zhao and his family saw Ji Yuan coming, they were also very welcoming.
Especially the children in his family, they always call Ji Yuan brother.
Brother Jiyuan was also thinking about them and took out all the snacks he had bought.
They are all the most fashionable snacks in the county.
He received money from the Niu family for his medical treatment, as well as rewards from the government. Even though he spent a lot of money on buying paper and ink on a daily basis, the money he had on him did not increase or decrease.
There is still money to buy some snacks.
Master Zhao naturally didn't want him to spend more, but seeing the children were happy, he didn't say anything.
Ji Yuan also specially bought a piece of meat and a fish in the county town.
Just now at Uncle Ji’s house, Ji Yuan hid and was not discovered by the other party.
Now take them all out to honor the Master.
There were snacks, candies, pork and fish, and Mr. Zhao's family was very happy.
Master Zhao couldn't put down the new books copied by Ji Yuan and said, "These books are very rare, good, really good."
"Did you ask someone to copy the book? The handwriting is quite elegant, so he must have learned from a famous teacher."
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master. This is my calligraphy."
Master Zhao paused, flipping through several books, comparing them bit by bit, looking at the book and then at the era, with disbelief written all over his face: "How is it possible!"
"Your handwriting has improved so much now?"
Master Zhao still had homework from before this era, so he subconsciously flipped through it for comparison.
The difference is as huge as heaven and earth.
If the characters before the Christian era were like those of children's children, the characters nowadays can be said to have some style.
"Good, very good." These were the only words Master Zhao could say.
Not to mention Ji Yuan’s academic performance, his handwriting alone can show his solid foundation.
It’s not that beautiful.
But there is obviously a way.
As I said, you can tell at first glance that he is a disciple of a famous teacher.
Ji Yuan told about his experience of becoming a disciple. Master Zhao only knew that the master in Zunjing Pavilion was named Fang, but he didn't know the details.
As he spoke, Ji Yuan also wanted to go into the kitchen to cook for Master Zhao. Even his master's wife couldn't stop him and he insisted on doing it himself.
Master Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, so he had to agree.
Ji Yuan’s cooking skills are impeccable, but what touched Master Zhao even more was the student’s kindness.
He is an impeccable student in every aspect.
Do today's students want to surpass him?
impossible.
Ji Yuan naturally stayed at Master Zhao's house that night. The next day, Master Zhao went to teach, and Ji Yuan went to help his master's wife pick beans and hoe the fields.
However, Mr. Zhao's family only planted a few crops, and with the help of the students' parents, they finished the work in less than two days.
After finishing the farm work in the Master's fields, Ji Yuan did not go back, but went along the fields to look for Uncle An.
If you want to find Uncle An during the busy farming season, you have to look for him in the fields.
Sure enough, more than a dozen men, women, young and old in Uncle An's family were working in the fields, and those who were not working in the fields were at home doing laundry, cooking and feeding livestock.
Seeing Ji Yuan coming over, Uncle An smiled and said, "I know you're back. Have you finished the work at Master Zhao's house?"
Ji Yuan nodded: "Yes, there are many people going to help, and the Master's family doesn't grow much."
"Yes, there are few people in his family who can do things." Uncle An said, and waited for Ji Yuan to approach and whispered, "Did you come back this time to discuss the silage issue?"
"I can't hide it from you, Uncle An."
"Why are you still telling me this?" Uncle An wore clothes with many patches on them and was reluctant to spend any money.
But if he wants to make money, it doesn't matter how much effort he puts in.
Uncle An said again, "If you hadn't come to find me, I would have wanted to look for you. We are harvesting wheat now. After the wheat is harvested, the straw will come out. How many kilograms of silage do you think we should make this year?"
Last year I made a little over 10,000 kilograms. In addition to what I ate and what Xiao Huang ate, I sold more than 9,000 kilograms.
Uncle An's family earned dozens of taels of silver, and Ji Yuan also took a lot of money.
With such a good business, Uncle An will definitely do it again this year.
Although the autumn harvest has not yet been completed and the grass on the mountains is enough for cattle and sheep to eat, everything must be done in advance and they need to prepare in advance.
This was one of the reasons why Ji Yuan returned to the village.
Silage is where he made the most money in the past year.
If he hadn't sold the feed last year, he would have been even more frugal while studying at the county school.
With last year's precedent, Uncle An already had a plan in mind: "Last year, we sold 9,000 kilograms, so this year we will definitely sell more."
"We still need the Li family's nomination. The Niu family you mentioned last time is even more powerful."
"Our village and the neighboring village are also making reservations."
"I estimate that we need to make at least 50,000 kilograms."
Anyone who ate silage last year knows how good this stuff is.
Only those who raise cattle know.
The cows in their village that ate silage would be stronger than the cows in other villages even if they got sick.
This kind of cattle not only has a high rental price, but also works efficiently.
Those who have bought it before will naturally want to buy it again, and others who have seen it must make a reservation.
Now let’s calculate the consumption of silage by cattle.
The dry feed consumed by a cow every day is basically 3% to 5% of its body weight, which is about 20 to 30 kilograms.
There is almost no grass for two or three months in winter, and the cow has to eat a mixture of dry and wet feed. A cow needs at least five kilograms of silage a day.
Just for the Li family's more than 50 cows, they have ordered 25,000 kilograms of silage for the winter.
This number may seem staggering, but in reality, the wet material is heavy, so it is not that much.
Fifty thousand kilograms is already the minimum.
That's a cow, it has a big appetite.
If it were used to feed horses, the number would be even more staggering.
Ji Yuan had just made friends with the Niu family in the county town. They had a hundred cows, an even more astonishing number.
"Fifty thousand catties?" Ji Yuan was surprised by this number. "Then the number of silage pits opened last year was too small. We need to open at least five times more."
Uncle An is full of confidence.
He had already made preparations and had even told the elders and children in his family about it in advance.
Their family benefited last year. Not to mention Ji Yuan's share of the profits, at the end of the year each branch of Uncle An's family received some money.
Not only that, during the Chinese New Year last year, the stingy Uncle An also asked Second Lady An to improve the family’s food and make new clothes for the children.
With such benefits, everyone in the An family is looking forward to it.
"With the experience of digging the silage pit last year, we will be able to dig faster this year. It's just behind the mountain."
"But when we dig the cellar, we need you to come and take a look. If it's not suitable, then all the cellars will be wasted."
Uncle An became more and more excited as he spoke. He used wheat straw to draw on the ground to tell Ji Yuan his thoughts.
There is no problem with these things. Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, when I return to the county, I will ask the Niu family how many kilograms they want to order."
"Let's prepare in advance."
An old man and a young boy sat in the fields and decided the most important thing for the year.
Thinking of the money that was about to come in their hands, they both took a deep breath at the same time.
Finally, I'm going to make money again.
Even though it only happens once a year, this one time is enough to eat for a whole year!
The silage issue has been settled, and the distribution will naturally be the same as last year.
Ji Yuan still gets 20% and he doesn’t need to do any work or wages. He just needs to take time to come and check on the situation.
This year he doesn't even have to run around, he can just get the money directly.
Ji Yuan felt more relieved. As he read more and more, he needed more money.
For example, basic books can be copied, but some books cannot be copied and must be purchased before they can be read.
The bookstore owner also does not allow you to browse the books casually.
Qian Fei has quite a few books, but it is not appropriate to borrow them frequently.
Once he gets the money for silage this year, he will buy it himself!
The old master in Zunjing Pavilion also planned to teach him painting, and he had to prepare the money for painting paint in advance.
It is said that studying art is extremely expensive, and it seems to be the same in ancient times. He would feel unsure if he didn't save some money in advance.
Before he even got the money, Ji Yuan had already figured out how to spend it.
After this matter was settled, Uncle An mentioned another matter: "I have to thank you for Dahai's work. He has also studied veterinary medicine for half a year. Now everyone is envious of him."
As he was speaking, he heard Mrs. An, who was working, say, "Dahai! Dahai is back!"
An Dahai came running over, greeted his parents first, then ran to his grandfather and patted Ji Yuan on the shoulder: "I knew you were back! I quickly finished the work at hand and asked Master for leave to come back."
An Dahai was panting. He was about twelve or thirteen years old and had grown a little taller. But more obviously than growing taller, he had become stronger and looked more steady.
But when An Dahai arrived, the surrounding villagers subconsciously came forward.
If Ji Yuan's enthusiasm was respect mixed with a bit of admiration, then his enthusiasm for An Dahai was another kind of expectation.
"Da Hai, you are back. Can you come to my house and visit me when you are free? My cows are tired recently and they are eating less feed. Can you help take care of them?"
"My pigs have been losing weight recently. Is there a reason for this?"
"My big yellow dog is about to give birth. Let's go to the sea and take a look."
Ji Yuan looked at him with amusement, not minding at all that he was left out. Uncle An nodded secretly and said again: "This is all thanks to you."
Uncle An opened up and told me about Dahai studying veterinary medicine.
Ever since the incident of sick cows in Zhengrong County, the government has attached great importance to the county's veterinarians. It is said that in such a large county like Zhengrong, with dozens of villages under it, there are only seven or eight veterinarians.
In recent years, more and more people have been raising cattle and pigs in the county, so there are naturally not enough veterinarians. Not only are there not enough of them, but their level is also not good enough.
Veterinarian Zhang from the next village is a half-baked veterinarian, but he is invited back every day.
So the government office hinted to them to accept a few students, and then the county would invite a good veterinarian from the city to teach them skills.
So, several veterinarians were recruiting apprentices.
Everyone knows these things.
Ji Yuan heard about what happened with Veterinarian Zhang at that time.
Because of the relationship between Zhang Yiwei and Ji Yuan, An Dahai was accepted on the spot and became Zhang Yiwei's eldest apprentice.
An Dahai was diligent and concerned about livestock. Not only did he become the eldest disciple, he was also veterinarian Zhang's favorite disciple.
In addition, Dahai learned to read and helped Veterinarian Zhang read half of his veterinary book.
Unexpectedly, the master and apprentice’s medical skills became more and more advanced.
In less than half a year, Dahai had become a reliable livestock doctor in the neighborhood.
Whenever he returned to the village, every family would rush to ask him to help with medical treatment.
Today is no exception.
“I wonder how many people envy me.”
"But now Veterinarian Zhang has already accepted six apprentices and won't accept any more."
“So everyone can only watch helplessly!”
The more Uncle An spoke, the happier he became, and the more grateful he was to Ji Yuan.
"Dahai can read and is diligent, so he has advantages as an apprentice." Ji Yuan did not take all the credit, "It has nothing to do with me."
"How can it not be big? If it weren't for you, my parents would have bought so many gifts." An Dahai agreed to the villagers and quickly replied, "My master is a very good person, but I still have to accept the gifts."
In fact, all of his junior brothers are good people, but the gifts should still be given and etiquette should not be neglected.
And going once is not enough, you have to go five or six times to see the sincerity.
It’s not that Dr. Zhang was deliberately making fun of Joe.
But taking in apprentices is a serious matter. In ancient times, it was said that once a teacher, he is a father for life. What the master teaches are the skills to make a living, and the apprentice is competing with the master for food, so this process is necessary.
There is only one person like An Dahai who succeeded on his first try in the entire county.
Uncle An nodded, and it was obvious that his whole family thought so.
"Okay, go and have fun. The work in the fields hasn't been finished yet." Uncle An drove them away, obviously wanting the young people to play on their own.
Although he said he was going out for fun, Dahai still wanted to visit the villagers and treat some urgent livestock diseases.
Ji Yuan naturally would not refuse, so he simply went along to see it.
Which family doesn't raise some livestock? At the very least, they will raise a few chickens. An Dahai helps to look after them one by one, and a day passes by.
It seems that this livelihood is really good.
Although they were all from the same village and I didn't charge any money, I still took a lot of rice, grain and vegetables at the end of the day.
If you do this job, at least you won't be short of food.
No wonder everyone is scrambling to become a veterinarian.
"In fact, it was you who suggested that I become a veterinarian," Dahai said with a smile, "I didn't expect it would be suitable for me."
"That's good. I'm not giving you blind directions."
Speaking of this, Dahai hesitated and whispered, "In the village recently, avoid your uncle and aunt, otherwise you will definitely get into trouble."
An Dahai did not hide anything and told the story of his third uncle and aunt.
Veterinarians in Zhengrong County are so popular nowadays that among those who want to become apprentices, An Dahai is not the only one who can read.
But even if someone can read, we still have to look at his character first. After all, words can be recognized but character cannot be easily changed.
For example, Ji Li.
Hearing that being a veterinarian is popular nowadays, Ji Li also thought about it.
There was a lot of work to do at the Zhang Family Silk Shop where he worked. He had been doing odd jobs for almost a year, so he wanted to change his career.
Originally, Ji Li was just thinking about it, but after hearing that An Dahai was recommended by Ji Yuan and became an apprentice directly, he became unhappy.
For the sake of their son, Ji Yuan's third uncle and aunt actually went to the home of Veterinarian Zhang in the next village under the name of Ji Yuan.
When he heard that he was Ji Yuan’s cousin, Veterinarian Zhang was somewhat excited.
But with An Dahai around, how could he allow this to succeed?
But An Dahai was not one to speak ill of others, so he only reminded him implicitly: "Master, would you like to investigate again?"
Just this one sentence made Veterinarian Zhang suspicious. He had so many good seedlings, so he really didn't need to place an order directly.
Veterinarian Zhang didn't even need to ask anyone, other people who wanted to be veterinarians came forward to report.
There were also relatives from An Jicun here, who directly said what kind of people this couple was, one loved gambling and was lazy, and the other was not good to Ji Yuan.
Veterinarian Zhang is such a smart man that he knows what happened after just a little thought. When Ji Li's family shows up next time, he will simply ask his apprentices to drive them away!
Not to mention anything else, considering how they treated Ji Yuan, they still want to come to my house to learn skills?
dream!
Ji Yuan didn't expect there was such a thing.
But he was too lazy to care about the situation at this house.
They are related, but it's not appropriate to make things too awkward.
After all, he is his elder. Even if he doesn't recognize him in his heart, he is still his uncle in the eyes of others.
This kind of blood relationship was very important in ancient times, and there were even regulations that relatives should protect each other.
That is, if relatives commit crimes, they can help each other to conceal them. If you report relatives or elders, you will definitely be punished.
He has no official title now, and has not officially embarked on the path to imperial examinations.
If someone catches you making such a mistake, forget about passing the exam to become a scholar.
After all, on the surface, he was raised by his uncle from the age of five to eight.
From the perspective of outsiders, even if the child is treated harshly, at least they are raised and one should not be ungrateful.
Just ordinary people.
For those who want to take scientific examinations, this is a serious crime.
This is also why the first thing Ji Yuan did after returning to Anji Village was to go to his third uncle's house. He had to do his best to save face.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard an enthusiastic voice coming from the front: "Brother Yuan is back! Why don't you go home?"
Ji Yuan was startled by the voice.
When has his third aunt ever been so enthusiastic?
An Dahai winked at him, clearly giving him a warning.
Aunt Ji greeted them so warmly that everyone passing by in the village looked over.
Ji Yuan raised his smiling face. Even if it was disgusting, he would still say, "Yes, Aunt San, I'm back."
"I went to see my uncle as soon as I got back to the village. Is he sick recently? Why didn't he go to work in the fields?"
When An Dahai heard this, he laughed out loud.
Who in the village doesn’t know Uncle Ji?
He is indeed sick.
Laziness!
The busy Aunt Ji's face changed and she could no longer pretend: "You Jis are so lazy, and you still say these things! You eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks outside, and you don't care about your uncle!"
"There are so many people with the last name Ji in Anji Village. You, Third Aunt, have insulted them all with just one sentence."
Anji Village Anji Village, there are people with the surname An and some with the surname Ji.
It’s just that their branch is relatively distant, and most of the others with the surname Ji are also low-key and don’t interact with them much.
But the people are still there.
Aunt Ji's words really scolded everyone.
Looking at the eyes around her, Aunt Ji could only swallow her dirty words. Thinking of her plan, she forced a smile and said, "Come home for dinner tonight. Your parents are gone, and your uncle and I have been taking care of them. You can't stay away forever. We are all a family."
"Aunt San will cook you some delicious dishes, but you can't leave without going home."
Ji Yuan knew that the other party would use this as an excuse.
"Okay, I'll go back for dinner tonight. Do you mind if I take Dahai with me?"
Aunt Ji seemed to have thought of something and smiled again: "Don't mind, don't mind, it's fine as long as the sea is here."
An Dahai could understand what she meant. It must be about studying veterinary medicine, otherwise how could she be so generous.
An Dahai looked at Ji Yuan and knew that he must understand it too. Did Ji Yuan still need his reminder?
After Aunt Ji left, An Dahai said, "Her family will definitely ask about the veterinarian. Do you want to help them?"
"Just because you've had dinner doesn't mean you have to help." Ji Yuan said with a smile, "She said this outside just to make sure I don't refuse."
Blood relations cannot be made too awkward in front of outsiders.
Even in modern times, if you make trouble with your uncle, people will criticize you, let alone in ancient times.
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiao He, are your brother and the others free? Otherwise, come and have a meal. There will definitely be something delicious today."
ah?
Free meal?
Ji Yuan explained: "Her family wants to treat us, so let's do it."
Blood ties are a constraint on Ji Yuan, and also on Aunt Ji and Uncle Ji.
If they have a good relationship with the sea, they may still quarrel.
But it would be embarrassing to invite a few people with whom I have average relationship.
Besides, with so many people there, someone would definitely tell others about it, and then he wouldn't be the one who would be embarrassed.
This kind of two-way constraint, if used properly, will be beneficial to you.
The sea gives a thumbs up.
How come Ji Yuan is getting smarter and smarter since he went to school in the county!
That night, Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji, who wanted to bribe Ji Yuan with food, looked at the children who came to eat and their faces turned green.
An Dahai, An Xiaohe, An Xiaohu.
There were also a few good friends from An Xiaohu Academy. As soon as they entered the door, they asked, "Uncle and Aunt, what delicious food have you made?"
The people called by An Dahai must be lively and cheerful, but some of them are too lively. They don't consider themselves outsiders at all. If they say they are here to eat, then they are here to eat.
The food of ordinary families in the village is ordinary, and Uncle An's family is stingy. These children don't usually eat good food, so when they see the fried meat made by Aunt San, their eyes light up.
As soon as the half-grown children came to the table, the plate of food was cleared in an instant.
Uncle Ji was so distressed that he couldn't say a word before the food was gone.
Ji Yuan looked at the scene on the dinner table with a smile. He only ate some vegetables and left everything else untouched.
An Dahai also said, "Uncle San and Aunt San, did you cook too little food?"
"Yeah, there's not enough to eat."
“Who will eat this?”
“It’s boring.”
Aunt Ji couldn't stand it any longer: "Ji Yuan! Who told you to invite so many people over? Don't you have any food at home?"
Ji Yuan did not answer, but said slowly: "It seems that Uncle San and Aunt San are busy today, just tell me."
Sure enough, when this was mentioned, the two men's arrogance instantly subsided.
Uncle Ji said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Dahai's master, Veterinarian Zhang?"
"Fortunately, we met once." Ji Yuan said coldly, not giving the other party any chance at all.
"How can it be okay? Dahai became my master because of you."
"With such a good opportunity, why don't you think of your cousin?" Uncle Ji said quickly, "Your cousin is not doing well in Zhang's silk shop. The monthly salary there is not much, and he is still doing odd jobs. You can help him and introduce your brother to him."
Aunt Ji followed up and said, "We are a family. Don't be so ungrateful. Tell everyone that we have the same surname."
"That's right. Before you were admitted to the county school, you were all living under the same roof, so you had to take care of your family."
"I am your uncle and have raised you for so many years. If you don't agree, then what kind of scholar are you?"
These words certainly weren't achieved overnight, and the two had already prepared to ask Ji Yuan for help.
Ji Yuan neither agreed nor objected, he just said: "Why don't you wait a little longer, I'll go to veterinarian Zhang's house when I'm free."
Except for a few ignorant people, An Dahai and An Xiaohe all looked over, and An Xiaohe even glared at Ji Yuan.
Can you agree to something like this?!
You look very smart, but don't you know who your uncle and aunt are?!
Other villagers might not understand, but a smart kid like An Xiaohe had already seen through the evil intentions of these two people when Uncle Ji Yuan and Aunt Ji Yuan didn't allow him to go to school.
That’s why his reaction was the biggest.
Needless to say, An Dahai is close to Ji Yuan and knows the inside story.
Ji Yuan smiled at Xiao He and said to the delighted Third Aunt and Third Uncle, "Don't worry, Ji Lige is smart and will definitely have a bright future."
These words greatly comforted the two.
The two were still happy until Ji Yuan and the others left.
Uncle Ji was going out to drink and gamble again. Aunt Ji started swearing and started a fight with Uncle Ji.
Listening to the quarrel inside the door, An Xiaohe asked, "What on earth are you thinking?"
Ji Yuan looked at Uncle Ji's door coldly and said, "I will go back to the county school tomorrow."
"Besides, I didn't agree."
He said he came to have dinner, but he didn't say what he had agreed to do.
He said he would help to intercede with Veterinary Surgeon Zhang, but he did not promise that Ji Li would definitely be able to study veterinary medicine.
It won't be long before the couple realizes that they spent money treating everyone to a meal but actually got nothing done.
What?
Ji Yuan agreed?
How could he agree to it? So many people heard it, but he didn't agree.
He said that he had only met Veterinary Surgeon Zhang once, and nothing could be accomplished with this kind of relationship.
After An Xiaohe figured it out, he couldn't help but say, "You are still cunning."
He didn't know what he was thinking about: "These relatives are really annoying. They don't do anything, but they just want to get benefits."
Who says it isn’t?
Ji Yuan shrugged: "Just ignore them."
The next time he returns to Anji Village will probably be in November for the winter vacation.
At that time, you can either live with Master Zhao or discuss academic matters with him.
Or you can go to Uncle An's house, who happens to be in charge of the silage business.
Not afraid of these people at all.
Of course, if they do anything else, don't blame him for being rude.
Ji Yuan smiled, and his narrow peach blossom eyes seemed very gentle, but when you looked closely at his words, they seemed so deep that one could not help but shiver.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Aunt Ji realized that Ji Yuan was practicing Tai Chi with them!
He had already eaten the meal, but he didn't agree to anything.
But when I think about it carefully, he didn't eat anything.
It seemed as if he had already prepared to play a trick on them.
Aunt Ji wanted to rush to Master Zhao's house and pull Ji Yuan out, but she didn't dare because Master Zhao was a scholar.
Uncle Ji was reminded and realized that he and his wife had been fooled, so he simply waited for Ji Yuan in the village and made sure he would be taught a lesson.
Unexpectedly, news came from Uncle An that Ji Yuan had left early in the morning and went back to the county school to study.
What?
Go to the county school to cause trouble for Ji Yuan?
Do they dare!
Since the plan to study veterinary medicine failed, Aunt Ji had no choice but to pass the news to Ji Li.
Ji Li is looking forward to studying veterinary medicine. After all, veterinarians are very popular nowadays.
After receiving the message, Ji Tli was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he was the youngest worker in the shop and anyone could bully him, so he had to keep his head down and obey.
era.
They all have the surname Ji, so why is he in the county school?
Nowadays, everyone knows the reputation of the county school.
Even the young master of the Zhang family silk shop where he worked, wanted to go to the county school to study.
He failed the exam last year, and this year his family tried to spend money and effort to get Young Master Zhang in, but all failed.
It seems that Young Master Zhang was just a few rankings away from success, but he still failed.
Many people say that as long as you study in the county school, you will most likely pass the examination and become a scholar.
Such an opportunity actually also comes from Jiyuan.
Thinking of this, Ji Li wanted to beat Ji Yuan again.
It was obvious that in the past, people allowed him to beat and scold them without daring to say a word.
Ji Li was cursing while sorting out his clothes when someone asked him, "Who are you cursing at?"
Ji Li quickly waved his hands and said to the young master in front of him: "Young Master Liu, I didn't scold anyone."
"I clearly heard you cursing Ji Yuan."
"You think you can scold the students of the county school?"
Although Liu Rong disliked Ji Yuan, he couldn't stand others scolding his classmates.
After being told this by Master Liu, Ji Li quickly said, "That's my cousin. I was just joking."
Cousin?
Liu Rong then looked at Ji Li's face. The chin was indeed somewhat similar to Ji Yuan's, but his eyes were evasive, not at all as firm and spirited as Ji Yuan's.
Originally, the matter was over, but Liu Rong's cousin's eyes lit up: "That child prodigy Ji Yuan? His cousin actually works as a waiter in my house."
The young man who was originally ignored by everyone was looked after by the boss's young master and his relatives because of Ji Yuan.
Even the shopkeeper looked at him differently.
"Tell me why you scolded him."
Hearing the word "child prodigy", I saw that the young master of the Liu family was defending the era.
Ji Li's heart became even more twisted, and he said bitterly: "It's because he took away my chance to go to school!"
"If it weren't for him, I would still be studying in a private school!"
Ji Li lies without hesitation.
"My parents said he was gifted, so they didn't let me go to school and saved the money for him to go!"
"But he received such kindness from my family that he didn't even give me the chance to study veterinary medicine!"
"My two young masters, do you think such a person is still qualified to study in the county school?"
"After his parents passed away, he was raised by my family!"
"If he hadn't been well-fed, how would he have had time to study?"
Cousin Zhang was the son of the owner of Zhang's shop. He said in confusion, "That's not right. They say he was poor but studious and that he read books on his own."
"What about before he went to school? He lost his parents when he was five! He lived in my house!"
"After he started studying last year, I stopped studying and was sent to do odd jobs!"
"It's like this, would my family treat him badly? Now it seems like my family treats him harshly, but he has a very good reputation instead."
Ji Li has been working in the silk shop for almost a year. He has not thought of anything else, but he has these little calculations: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. We all have the last name Ji. I don't ask him to take care of our family, as long as he doesn't discredit my parents."
The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. He almost cried, "I just want to study veterinary medicine, but he would rather let the grandchildren of a wealthy family in the village study than help his own relatives. Who can say anything?"
This means that Ji Yuan is simply a person who despises the poor and loves the rich. He only flatters wealthy people and ignores his poor relatives.
Cousin Zhang, who always claimed to be "chivalrous and courageous", was unhappy.
How could there be such a person!
Instead, Liu Rong, who was at odds with Ji Yuan, grabbed his cousin and said, "Ji Yuan, you don't look like that kind of person."
"It's not that difficult. We can just send someone to inquire about it."
"Let's see if this family has really supported Ji Yuan for several years, and let's see if this guy stopped studying after Ji Yuan started studying."
"Also, let's see if Ji Yuan's relationship with the wealthy families in the village is really that close."
"If this is true, all the people in your county school will be gone!"
Cousin Zhang said to Ji Li again: "Don't worry, I will definitely stand up for you!"
Liu Rong looked at it and felt something was wrong. The guy in front of him was crying so hard that it was hard to tell whether he was crying or not.
Then let’s check and see if Ji Yuan is really that bad and opportunistic.
If this is true, is he still worthy of studying in the county school?
Liu Rong frowned. Ji Yuan really didn’t seem like that kind of person.
But he also had some expectations. If Ji Yuan left, he would be the real number one among the new students, and his grandfather would not use this matter to talk about him.
Should I check or not?
"Cousin Liu Rong, do you want to help me or not? If Ji Yuan is really that kind of person, he doesn't deserve to be in the county school. In the last entrance examination, I ranked in the twentieth place. If he drops out, we will be classmates!"
Cousin Zhang spoke with great righteousness, but in fact he had the idea of going to the county school.
He is just one person short of getting in!
Not only Liu Rong noticed it, Ji Li also heard something strange.
Yes, when the boss had been running the county school for Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang seemed to be ranked twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth.
As long as Ji Yuan leaves, there will be a vacancy in the county school.
Given the power of the Zhang family, they could make the two people ranked 23rd or 24th leave, and then Young Master Zhang would naturally be next in line.
It seems that last time the county school secretly contacted the 21st and 22nd place students for the entrance exam.
It's a pity that the boss didn't make arrangements in advance.
Are you trying to use your own business as an excuse so that Young Master Zhang can go to the county school?
Then, can I also benefit from this matter? !
Liu Rong frowned deeply. Seeing this, Cousin Zhang warned him, "Don't tell anyone. Do you hear me? Otherwise, I will tell your grandfather that you don't like studying at all. Let's see if he still values you!"
