Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 73 Doing Maths (Seeking Monthly Pass)
In a blink of an eye, the winter snow melted and the weather gradually warmed up. It has been a month since the prefect was assassinated.

Because of Mrs. Cui's funeral, Tong's funeral had to be rushed.

After getting the thin coffin, Xu Da calculated a good day for the funeral, so he called a few brothers from the Huokang Gang to carry him to the hillside outside the city for burial.

At that time, entering and exiting the city was very strict. Xu Da emptied all his savings for his brothers, and then bribed the city guard to let them go out of the city for burial.

Compared with Tong's funeral, Mrs. Cui's funeral opened Xu Yue's family's eyes.

The trend of generous burials in Daqing was prevalent, and the funeral objects such as gold, silver and jade wares alone emptied half of the family property of the prefect's mansion.

Adding in the one-month suspension, various condolences and social events cost a lot of money.

This is not over yet, Mrs. Cui died suddenly, and the cemetery has not been arranged yet, and a famous Taoist priest in Jizhou was invited to personally arrange a burial for her.

Xu Yue heard from people that [-] yuan was spent on the geomantic treasure land alone, and even [-] yuan would not be able to beat the bricks and tiles used in the tomb.

According to the level of luxury of the Daqing tycoons, it is normal to stop for three months or half a year. Because of the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, people have to wait for all the relatives of the deceased to come to express their condolences before they can be buried.

Therefore, the prefect's wife was buried in a hurry after only one month. Xu Yue reasonably suspected that it was probably because the money in the prefect's mansion could not hold on.

Of course, it is also possible that the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the prefect's wife is already smelly, so she has to be buried hastily.

What makes ordinary people like Xu Yue feel sad is that for such a powerful family like the Yuan family, Mrs. Cui's funeral is just "hasty".

As for the assassin, the officials arrested him for a month and handed over many suspects. Several assassins were symbolically killed on the Caishikou execution ground.

However, it seems that the mastermind has not been caught.

However, compared to the tense atmosphere before, since Mrs. Cui's funeral, it has indeed relaxed a lot, and everyone dared to come out and walk around.

The weather in early spring was still very cold, but Xu Yue couldn't bear to wear the fur coat that hadn't been washed all winter. Seeing the sun come out, she immediately took it off.

Throughout the winter, I followed my father and mother to practice physical skills and internal strength. I took off my fur clothes and put on all the jackets. By the way, I used the inner strength and mental methods taught by my father, and I didn't feel cold.

Xu Yue is a small person, she will have nothing to do if her fur coat gets wet, so she can only ask her elder brother Xu Dalang for help.

Good boy, now he is good at cooking, washing and chopping firewood.

Xu Erniang saw that her younger sister had a free helper, so she was going to take off her fur coat and let Xu Dalang wash it.

Xu Dalang cast her a cold look, and said, "Get lost!"

Xu Erniang stared blankly, holding her small wooden stick with one hand on her hips and threateningly: "Believe it or not, I will curse you!"

Xu Erniang's curse is not just for fun, after a whole winter of hard work, she has successfully tested it on Xu Da.

Big curses can't be cast yet, but it's perfectly fine to make people unlucky.

For example, falling on the ground when going out, tripping while walking, throwing small money while shopping, picking up bird droppings, etc., one by one.

But Xu Dalang is not afraid of these little curses, in the face of great strength, everything is false!
Seeing that it was too hard, Erniang Xu softened her tone, "Brother, help me to wash together~"

Xu Dalang snorted arrogantly and agreed.

As the weather got warmer, people in the city had basically settled down, so Xu Da and Wang Dayou took the brothers from the Huokang Gang to the villages and towns to develop.

No, I went out early this morning.

Mrs. Wang was not at home, carrying a bamboo basket, and went to pick wild vegetables with the mother-in-law of the fifth uncle's family, and planned to bring them back for Xu Yue and sisters to study how to make pickled vegetables.

Speaking of vegetables, Xu Yue couldn't help but licked her mouth. She hadn't eaten fresh vegetables all winter, and she almost forgot what vegetables taste like.

"Young lady, do you think I wrote it right?"

Aunt Wang's anxious inquiry came from her side, Xu Yue hurriedly let go of her recollection of vegetables, and turned her head to look at the small wooden board that Aunt Wang handed over.

Since Tong's death, Wang asked Wang Dayou to take the two children to his home to help take care of them before leaving work.

The two siblings lost their mother, and they seemed to have grown up overnight and became more sensible.

Little crying Bao Wang's younger brother doesn't like to cry anymore.

And Mrs. Wang didn't like to laugh anymore, she was as dull as a little old man all day long, and she had to help with housework when she arrived at Xu's house.

Xu Dalang and Xu Erniang are doing all these things. They wake up early in the morning and start cleaning after practicing. There is no work for Mrs. Wang to do.

So the little girl led her younger brother to stay in the house and sat for a whole day.

Xu Yue saw that the two children would not be the same if they went on like this, so she took the siblings to her room, took out a small wooden board, and taught them how to read and count.

The Wang family Xiaolang was still too young, and he was drawing messily with a wooden board, but his little face finally had the mischievous look that a child should have.

Xu Yue also followed him to draw, planning to teach him to read and count when he grows up.

Daqing calculates age as age, after the new year, Xu Yuexu will be seven years old, and Aunt Wang will be six years old.

The child's brain has almost developed, and she learns quickly. In addition, Xu Yue also laid the foundation for her on the way to escape. Now she can write more than 20 commonly used characters, and can add and subtract within [-].

It may be that no one in the neighbors has read the book, so Xu Yue became more courageous, relying on no one understands, she taught Aunt Wang to use traditional Chinese characters as much as possible, but she taught numbers in Arabic numerals.

Aunt Wang's family didn't know these details either, she just thought it was a great thing to be able to read and write, and she would learn what Xu Yue taught seriously.

No, Xu Yue just gave her an arithmetic problem on the wooden board, and she quickly finished it, so she nervously brought it over for Xu Yue to check.

Xu Yue looked at it, and there were five arithmetic problems in total, only one was wrong, and a horizontal line was drawn on it with a charcoal pencil. Obviously, the little girl had calculated several times, but she couldn't determine the answer in the end.

This question is indeed a bit more complicated than the other four questions. It involves both addition and subtraction. It is indeed a bit difficult for Mrs. Wang who is just learning numbers.

Xu Yue saw that there was nothing wrong with the formula she typed aside. The mistake was in the decimal system, and she forgot to calculate the base.

When Xu Yue pointed out the mistake, Madam Wang immediately lowered her head in frustration, feeling sorry for her carelessness, and muttered, "Obviously checked."

Xu Yue looked at her like this, as if she saw her depressed look when she was careless and did wrong questions when she was a child.

At this time, no amount of consolation is as fulfilling as re-doing the same type of topic.

So, Xu Yue came up with another method of addition and subtraction involving the decimal system, and asked the little girl to do the calculation again.
