farming female castellan

Chapter 115
The old lady likes the taste of corn very much: "It is sweet and soft, even the elderly can eat it."

"Grandma can eat a little every day, corn is good for the body." Chen Fan said.

Rong also praised: "This corn is so beautiful, like pearls, and it tastes good."

Chen Fan smiled: "I brought some old corn over here, which can be hung there for storage. Next year, I can try planting two acres, and I can harvest several thousand catties."

"The output is so high?" The old lady was surprised.

"Yes." Chen Fan nodded.

"It's good for the common people to plant one or two acres, and it can fill their stomachs." The old lady is quite considerate of others.

"If grandma was a man, she must be a good official for the benefit of the people." Chen Fan really admired the old lady.The Liu family is happy to do good deeds, if someone is in politics, he will definitely take the people into his heart.

Chen Fan went to the bookstore for a while and bought a copy of "The Analects of Confucius".

When she was about to go back to the countryside, Aunt Xie said, "Miss Chen, I admire your knowledge, but if a scholar goes to work in the fields, will it waste time and delay the progress of study?"

Chen Fan smiled: "If you study in the right way, you can get twice the result with half the effort. If you don't use the right method, you will just waste time and get half the result with half the effort. Working will not delay their study, but will let them experience life more. Officials can also care about the sufferings of the people."

Aunt Xie disagreed: "I agree with running and practicing martial arts, it can strengthen your body, but I still don't agree with working. You can naturally know how to govern the country after reading sage books. So many scholars don't do farm work, don't they just go to Jinshi and become high officials? "

Chen Fan nodded: "It is true that there are many scholars who do not work hard, but my children all have to work. They don't do much work. Most of the work is hired."

"I'm afraid that after a while, these two children will be slower than other students in the school."

Chen Fan didn't speak, but looked at Liu Dingkang.

Liu Dingkang said: "I don't think it will be slow. Didn't my aunt let me study with my eldest sister because she wanted me to learn more knowledge? My brothers and sisters are all excellent and have great insights. I have benefited a lot. "

"I didn't know you were going to work in the fields at the time. Ms. Chen didn't say you were going to work."

"Liu Chenfeng is still the eldest grandson of the eldest house, doesn't he also want to work? My sister-in-law didn't say that he wouldn't be allowed to work either.

After thinking about it, Liu Dingkang added another sentence: "As a bastard, you should be a cow or a horse, so what's the point of doing some work?"

This is a bit serious, the Liu family didn't look down on the sons and daughters of the concubine, and didn't let them be cows and horses, but it was just right to use it to stop Aunt Xie's mouth.

Aunt Xie stopped talking.

"Brother Fifteen is still accepting suggestions from my brother-in-law. I am very lucky to be able to study with my sister and brother-in-law. I should serve my sister and brother-in-law. What's the point of doing some work?"

"I'm not saying you can't work, I'm just worried that working will affect your study progress." Aunt Xie went back to the original point.

"If I don't pay attention, I won't be able to read a few words sitting at the desk all day. Reading is not just about how much time is spent. We now have learning tasks every day, and I will not delay the progress. I will come back to accompany you in half a month. You celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival." After Liu Dingkang finished speaking, he got into the carriage very simply.

This year is a leap in August, and two Mid-Autumn Festivals can be celebrated.

One dish for dinner was pork rib soup, stewed with tender corn, carrots and lotus couples.The aroma is tangy, the bright oranges and yellows are so enticing, and the kids are so happy to snort.The corn and carrots tasted a little sweet, the lotus root was powdery, the meat was stewed badly, and everyone ate up the soup and ingredients.

Chen Fan looked at the two children of the Liu family. One was seven years old and the other was eight years old. They were just at the age of enlightenment but wanted to play.Tell them to sit in the school all day, how can they be happy here?Although the work is a bit tiring, what is valuable is that these two children are not afraid of hardship or tiredness.Here a group of children are rushing to eat, and the food will be more delicious.
