Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1344 Take Care Of Your Feet
Mrs. Liu brought a spoon and started to distribute Laba porridge to several children, saying to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the locked door of the east room opposite, "Where did grandma go this Laba Festival?"

Mrs. Liu said: "Before you came, Wang Shuanzi came over and said that today he has prepared food and wine, and he will take your grandma over for lunch and Laba porridge!"

"Oh, that's it!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, turned to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Liu.

"Qing'er, leave the portion for grandma to me. Later, when your grandma's home comes, I'll just give it to them for you." Liu said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Mrs. Liu and smiled.

"It's better not to bother fourth aunt, I just want to deliver porridge to sister-in-law, so we can deliver it together."

Yang Ruoqing knows Liu's personality well.

The geese have been plucking their feathers, and petty theft has never stopped.

Although he didn't dare to have an affair with Yang Hua'an anymore, he could steal some dishes from the big house in front of and behind the house, and some no-nonsense saponin powder.

Seeing Dabao and Mianmian coming out to eat snacks, she wanted to coax them to satisfy their cravings.

Let her pass on this bowl of Laba porridge?
Pass me an empty bowl?

Seeing that Yang Ruoqing didn't trust her, Mrs. Liu curled her lips, but she didn't dare to blame her, she turned her head and continued to feed Kang boy Laba porridge.

……

After Laba is over, the New Year is getting closer.

At this time last year, every household was busy purchasing new year's goods in large quantities and pulling new clothes for the children.

This year, because of the floods, the fields have no crops, and the cotton is gone.

During this period of time, the villagers have been relying on the relief food distributed by the imperial court last time.

Many people eat porridge almost twice a day.

Of course, the families of the herb-collecting team and the transportation team lived a little better.

Because of collecting medicine and escorting goods, there is living water money.

This living water money can allow them to support their family's expenses in the middle of winter, and it will be fine when the wheat matures in April and May next year.

Therefore, this twelfth lunar month of this year, although the weather is sunny, everyone is not as enthusiastic about buying new year's goods as last year.

However, on the hillside by the river behind the village, the construction of the school is in full swing.

Yang Huazhong took the lead, Yang Huaming, Yang Huazhou and Luo Tiejiang helped out.

Chang Geng, Daniu, brothers Baozhu Yuzhu, Baozi brother Wang Liang, and Yu Dafu from Yujia Village all ran over to help.

Yang Ruoqing originally wanted to settle their wages.

But they don't want to kill him.

There is only one reason: building a school is a major event for the benefit of future generations.

The villagers who have lived and multiplied at the foot of Mianniu Mountain for generations all look forward to their children and grandchildren being able to go to school.

You can study and learn, and you will be a part-time official in the future, and you will be a master.

Even if you can't take an official position, you can be a scholar, you can still be exempted from corvee tax, and you can go to the government regularly to receive a certain amount of rice grain!
In addition to the call of Li Zheng and several village elders, many young men who were idle at home also joined the camp of repairing the school.

Because Lizheng said, this school is funded by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

If you want to enjoy this benefit, you don't need to pay, at least contribute.

Thanks to their hard work, they all registered their names in Lizheng. Later, their children will be given priority in enrolling in school, and they will be given discounts on tuition fees.

As for those who don't work hard, hehe...

In this way, everyone's enthusiasm and enthusiasm for building the school were mobilized, and they devoted themselves to the grand cause of building the school one by one.

Those who have crafts become artisans.

Those who have no skills go to the mountains to dig stones and cut trees.

In addition, because of sufficient manpower, Yang Ruoqing also assigned a group of people to repair the road from the entrance of the school to the river at the foot of the mountain.

Taking advantage of this season, the water level in the river receded, and they led the crowd to reinforce the wooden bridge above the river, and tied iron chains on both sides.

In this way, the children pass by to and from school, and the safety factor is guaranteed.

There is no starting wage, it is voluntary labor.

Therefore, Yang Ruoqing didn't spare any money when it came to food.

Two meals a day, meat and vegetables, let the big guys who come to help take care of it!
"Father, Uncle Fourth, Uncle Fifth, let everyone rest for a while, lunch is coming!"

Yang Ruoqing was carrying two bamboo baskets with several stacks of clean bowls and two chopsticks, coming from the bridge.

Behind them, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun, Bao Suyun and Osmanthus Dayun followed.

For two meals a day, Mrs. Sun and the others prepare the meals and deliver them to the school here in person.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's shout, Yang Huazhong smiled.

The man hurried over to greet everyone to rest.

The big guys quickly put down the tools in their hands, washed their hands, and then gathered around here.

At this time, the women who delivered the food had already placed the food on a flat place.

There are two wooden basins the size of washbasins, and in one wooden basin is roasted pork belly with potatoes.

There is also a wooden basin with spicy radishes.

In addition, there are two pots of rice, and a pot of rice soup soaked in crispy rice.

Everyone who has done a full day's work is hungry now.

Seeing this hot, fragrant and spicy food, even the greedy ones came out.

They took over the sticky rice one after another, picked up a portion of the vegetables, and squatted aside to pick them up.

"Everyone eats with open bellies. If you are full, you will have enough. If you don't eat enough, you will have no strength to work!"

Yang Huazhong came over after washing his hands, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Everyone should be fine.

Yang Ruoqing packed a bowl of rice, and brought some vegetables to Yang Huazhong.

"Father, you eat too."

"Don't worry, dad will smoke a cigarette first."

Yang Hua said Zhong Zhong, then sat down on a stone beside him, and started to twitch.

Yang Ruoqing was waiting aside with a bowl in hand.

In her impression, Dad didn't smoke tobacco in the past.

At that time, he said that smoking is burning money, and the tobacco leaves grown at home are not as good as those bought outside, so this is burning money.

However, since the conditions at home improved, my father gradually started smoking.

Not too much, though.

Yang Ruoqing knew that he was reluctant in the past.

Now that the conditions permit, I want to have some hobbies of my own.

"Qing'er is, look at this school, more than half of it has been built."

Yang Huazhong pointed to the school in front of him, and said excitedly to Yang Ruoqing.

"Before we were still calculating, as long as it doesn't rain or snow this day, according to this progress, the project will be completed in ten days or so!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded with a smile: "There are so many people!"

Yang Huazhong said: "Looking at the situation, after the school is completed and left to dry for another twenty days, it will be the Lantern Festival."

"After the Lantern Festival, school can start!"

Hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Yang Ruoqing was also looking forward to it.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Mu Zichuan had to go to the capital early.

She discussed with Luo Fengtang and planned to leave after the Lantern Festival.

The emperor's reward.
