Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 468 Cruel
Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch. Han Qinhu, who was walking on the official road, straightened up on his horseback and looked at the figure walking ahead who could not see Hong Lianshuo, and began to bombard Chen Zhongyuan and the others, "You guys! Really! Don't know what to tell me about you?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhongyuan looked back at the black-faced Han Qinhu and asked puzzledly, tightened the reins, and the horse under his crotch unconsciously slowed down.

After six months of training, riding a horse is no problem at all.

Immediately, you have to practice a hundred steps to wear Yang.

"What's the matter? There will be an assessment in the future, don't you worry!" Han Qinhu looked at him with dark brown eyes and said.

"What are you worried about?" Jiang Shuisheng said with a smile, "We are not afraid!"

"You have to consider this for future generations!" Han Qinhu couldn't help reminding him, "You have worked so hard, sweated and bled and escaped death, and your wife and grandchildren will inherit your family business smoothly, and you will become an official. Now Are you willing to take the school exam?"

"There's nothing to be reconciled to. I worked hard to climb up. He didn't study hard and practiced crooked ways. It won't work. Create such a good condition for him. If you don't cherish it, you won't do it if you don't beat him up." Chen Zhongyuan was straightforward. said, waving the horsewhip in his hand.

"Let me just say something, General Han, don't be angry!" Jiang Shuisheng declared in advance.

"Tell me." Han Qinhu's brown pupils flickered lightly when he heard this, "I'm not angry."

"I think this gentry eats a lot of cheap food, so I take it for granted." Jiang Shuisheng pursed his lips and said, "You mean as long as you are reborn into a gentry, you will be an official for generations, regardless of your character? How about your knowledge? Being in an important position and stealing a high position is all because of your birth."

"That's right! What's the difference between this and the emperors who ruled the world before?" Chen Zhongyuan snorted coldly, "Sooner or later it will be over."

"Uh..." Han Qinhu was speechless.

"As for General Han talking about future generations." Jiang Shuisheng looked at him seriously and said, "There is an old saying that wealth can't last for three generations, why do you say?"

"Isn't it just that you have raised dandies and prodigal sons?" Chen Zhongyuan echoed without hesitation, "Isn't it right to let them fight for their own future!" His eyebrows like caterpillars twitched lightly, "You still want me to be a hero asshole."

"Of course I'm a hero." Han Qinhu said immediately after hearing the words, "I hope that the blue will be better than the blue."

"Then what are you fighting for?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at him amusedly and said.

"This?" Han Qinhu pursed his lips and said, "Isn't this fierce competition, you work hard, and others work harder than you!"

"Then you should work harder." Chen Zhongyuan said simply and relaxedly, shaking his head slightly, "I really don't know what you are worried about?"

"Is it possible to improve by being urged like this? Otherwise, there will be a pool of stagnant water, and sooner or later the game will be over." Jiang Shuisheng looked at them with raised eyebrows and said, "There is competition to make progress."

"Or you can't compete with others, don't you have confidence?" Chen Zhongyuan looked him up and down suddenly and said.

"Just kidding, I'm not afraid of them!" Han Qinhu immediately retorted upon hearing this.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at him amusedly and said.

"As long as you have a stable mind, you should hire a famous teacher for your children and grandchildren. It should be a strict teacher. Are you afraid of competition if a strict teacher produces high-level apprentices?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at him with dark eyes and said, "Single knowledge has surpassed many people."

Lin Nanzheng looked at the two of them in surprise, no wonder his mentality was so stable.

"What about the woman?" Lin Nanzheng looked at the two of them with flickering phoenix eyes and said humanely.

"You don't have to worry about competing with women, they don't have time." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with a smile and said.

"What do you mean?" Han Qinhu looked at him confusedly and said.

"I can see from a glance that you have never seen how the farmers' women live." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them angrily and said, "You think they are like the ladies of aristocratic families, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, fluttering butterflies for nothing, and doing things for the elders." Do embroidery work, show filial piety."

"Then how do you live?" Lin Nanzheng looked at him curiously with phoenix eyes and asked.

"Take my mother for example!" Chen Zhongyuan tightened the reins and stopped, thinking for a while, "I got up at dawn, and first carried a pole to the well in the center of the village to fetch water. Day after day, Year after year, it’s been hard work.”

"Me too, but my mother is going to fetch water from the river." Jiang Shuisheng echoed.

"Now that the water has been selected, it's time to start a fire and cook." Chen Zhongyuan, who was tightly wrapped, only looked at him with big eyes like copper bells and said, "You have to hold the firewood first. It's okay to say that the firewood is dry, but the firewood is too wet. It’s not good. Take some time to light the firewood and store water in the pot.”

"To make porridge, the sorghum noodles have to be ground into flour on a millstone." Chen Zhongyuan looked directly at them and said, "It took more than an hour and a half to make a meal."

"I still have to grind the noodles myself!" Lin Nanzheng said in surprise.

"If you don't grind it yourself, someone will grind it for you. The big family has livestock, and the donkey pulls the mill, but the farmer's family doesn't have one." Jiang Shuisheng looked at him with a smile and said, "The army barracks kitchen, but the brothers take turns to grind the flour."

After Jiang Shuisheng said this, Lin Nanzheng remembered, "In order to eat on time, the brothers did all the firewood, carrying water, grinding noodles, and slaughtering chickens and fish."

"It's really tiring and time-consuming to put it all on a woman." Han Qinhu pouted and nodded.

"If you raise chickens and ducks again, you may not be enough to feed them for more than an hour." Lin Nanzheng pursed his lips and looked at him and said.

"People are so poor these days that they can hardly open the pot. Where can they feed chickens and ducks?" Jiang Shuisheng shook his head slightly and looked at them and said, "This pot of porridge is enough for a day."

"That's enough to eat." Han Qinhu frowned and said, "Is there no dry food?"

"It's good to have rare ones. If you don't let you gnaw tree bark or dig grass roots, you'll have a decent life." Jiang Shuisheng looked at them with dark eyes and said, "This is the real hard life."

"Now the clothes are made by women for us. At home, my mother has to weave, and the loom keeps ringing. I can only remember the sound of clanging and clanging, and there is no sound in the middle of the night. Stop it." Chen Zhongyuan's caterpillar-like eyebrows frowned enough to kill a fly.

"It's so dark that you can see it." Lin Nanzheng asked with concern.

"You are proficient, and you are poor at weaving without lights." Chen Zhongyuan closed his eyes and said, looking at them, he said, "rich people can go to the silk and satin shop to buy, our coarse linen clothes are all cut by mother, one stitch Stitched."

"There are also these shoes, which are convenient for us to wear. The peasants also made the soles of the shoes stitch by stitch." Jiang Shuisheng tapped the paper shoes on his feet with the horsewhip in his hand.
