Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 24

 In her last life, Shen Chenyu never did housework, and the way to exercise is to go to the gym. Now that he has traveled to this era, he regards doing housework as a way of exercising his body.

During this period of time, he developed the habit of carrying water every day. From the beginning of carrying a bucket of water, he was so tired that his back hurt, and now he carried two buckets of water without blushing or panting. This shows that his daily exercise is still effective, and his body is at least much better than when the original owner was there.

In order not to disturb Shen Liushi and Xiao Roubao's rest, Shen Chenyu went to the foot of the mountain to exercise with two empty buckets. Now it's the beginning of spring, and the villagers in Xiling Village have started a new year's work. Many people go to the fields or mountains early in the morning to get busy.

Shen Chenyu's family also has two acres of land, all in the open space behind Shen Chenyu's yard. Both Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting are not suitable for farming, and Shen Liushi has to help take care of the young Roubao, so their family does not intend to make a living by farming.

It's not that I look down on the life of farming, but mainly because farming can't support him to study. If there was no threat from the Shen family and Shen Mingxian in Qingcheng County, Shen Chenyu would be very happy to live a small life of farming.

Shen Chenyu planned to grow spring wheat in one piece of land, and some seasonal vegetables in one piece of land. If it weren't for the fact that the field had to pay taxes every year, Shen Chenyu wouldn't even be willing to plant that wheat field.

Taxes in this dynasty are still quite heavy, 40% of a piece of land has to be taxed, and every three years each family has to send a male to serve in corvee. The work of corvée is very heavy and dangerous. Many times, when you go there, you are a good person. When you come back, you will be slightly injured and your life will be gone.

There was no male in the second room of the Shen family before, so it saved him from the hardship of corvee. But now that Shen Chenyu is back, if he doesn't take the imperial examination, he may still be at risk of being arrested for corvee service.

Although after going through a time-travel, Shen Chenyu was obviously able to suffer more than in the previous life, but he didn't want to serve any corvee. That kind of place doesn't take people seriously at all, Shen Chenyu can't stand that kind of place no matter how hard she can endure.

While Shen Chenyu was thinking in her heart, she started from the most basic Zhama step, and then jogged for half an hour.

When Shen Chenyu was running, he specially picked some sparsely populated paths. However, Xiling Village is larger than Qishan Village, and the population of Xiling Village is relatively large. Shen Chenyu met several villagers within a short time.

When everyone saw Shen Chenyu running, they couldn't help but wonder what Shen Chenyu was doing. Originally, running was a normal thing for Shen Chenyu, but because he had been pointed at by them all the time, it made Shen Chenyu feel like she was a different kind.

Running is the most basic and easiest way to exercise your body. Although Shen Chenyu was a bit awkward when they saw him, but thinking about it, he didn't hinder others, so he quickly ignored the unnaturalness and continued to cast wholeheartedly. In exercising.

When Shen Chenyu came back with two buckets of water, Mu Linting had already made breakfast fumbled. In order to help Mu Linting distinguish the different oil and salt jars, the jars containing oil, salt, sweet and sour are of different sizes, and some of them specially marked Mu Linting.

At this time, Shen Liushi had also gotten up, and she was wiping Xiaoroubao's face.

Shen Chenyu went back to the room and changed her clothes, then quickly finished her breakfast, and then went to the big room with the blueprint of the crib.

On the way to the big house, Shen Chenyu saw a child who was herding sheep, his eyes turned around on the child's sheep, and then walked towards the child with a smile on his face.

Shen Chenyu was born very good-looking, but now she looks even more beautiful with a smile in her eyes. The child's eyes were a little dazzled by his smile, until Shen Chenyu said twice about his reason for coming, and the child realized it belatedly.

"You said...you want to buy my sheep?"

The child couldn't decide on such matters, so Shen Chenyu followed the child to the other party's house. Then it was discovered that the child's parent was a young man with a familiar face. This young man is none other than the one who dragged Chen Chenyu the day the wild boar broke out.

This man's name is Shen Lianghan, his father, Shen Chenyu, is called Third Uncle, and the child who just herded the sheep is his eldest son.

The other party heard the reason why Shen Chenyu bought the sheep, and brought a ewe that had just calved over without saying a word. "You don't need to take money. This ewe gave birth to two lambs. I sold them when I went to the town a few days ago. The milk of this ewe has no lambs to eat, and there are no milk babies born in the village recently, so you just lead them Go back and feed your baby."

Shen Chenyu didn't want to owe favors to others, and this Shen Lianghan wasn't a character who liked to talk, so he accepted Shen Chenyu's twenty essays at last.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu went out in a hurry and came back with a sheep before he left, Shen Liushi couldn't help asking him curiously what he was doing.

When I was in Qishan Village, Xiaoroubao always drank milk powder. After returning to Xiling Village, the little guy's food became poor instead.

Thinking that the little boy could only drink rice cereal in the morning, Shen Chenyu couldn't help feeling sorry for her little boy. When he first saw the flock of sheep, he came up with the idea of ​​feeding the cubs with goat milk.

Although goat milk is not as delicious as those milk powders, it is also more nutritious than rice cereal. Now it's time for the little boy to lay the foundation, Shen Chenyu feels that adequate nutrition is very important.

Shen Chenyu told the origin of the ewe, and when Shen Liu heard that she only borrowed the ewe from Shen Lianghan's family to feed the children, she said that the ewe would be handed over to her in the future.

Now the second room's housework is taken care of by Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting. During this period of time, apart from taking care of Xiaoroubao, Shen Liushi will only occasionally go to the kitchen to cook a meal. For a woman who is used to doing housework and has been busy for more than ten years, she always feels flustered when she is suddenly free.

Shen Chenyu didn't fight her after hearing the words, and told Shen Lianghan how to take care of the ewes, and then realized that he still had business to do.

When Shen Chenyu rushed to the big room, Uncle Shen was sitting in the yard of the old house waiting for him, and when he saw Shen Chenyu coming, he stood up.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu hurriedly said: "Uncle, sit down first, can you do what you see on this picture?"

Hearing this, Uncle Shen brought Shen Chenyu's drawing over, he frowned and looked at the drawing for a while, Looking at him, his eyes lit up.

"Where did you get this blueprint? It's very ingenious here, isn't it the same as a pushcart?"

Seeing Uncle Shen's reaction, Shen Chenyu said in her heart that it looks like something is going on, so the old and the young got together to discuss stand up.

Probably because he is interested in Shen Chenyu's crib, Uncle Shen has been busy since he got the blueprint, and he has been pulling Shen Chenyu to fiddle with it for a few days before getting it out.

At the beginning, Aunt Shen looked at the man so busy, and felt a little distressed why the man worked so hard? After being told by the Shen family, she stopped nagging around her man.

When Uncle Shen finally made something, even Shen Jiayao, who didn't understand anything, saw a little trick.

"Father, I heard from you and my cousin during the day, what kind of crib is this? It is a bed for children to sleep in, right? The four legs of this bed are buckled down to form wheels, and if they are pulled up, it will be a fixed cot. And this bed The guardrail is also very interesting, so it can fit together with the bed when you press it down."

Shen Jiayao babbled and demonstrated in a decent way. Aunt Shen and Grandma Shen didn't understand at first, but after watching his demonstration, they suddenly understood.

Most of Shen Chenyu's drawings were based on the crib in the space, and some other small details were added by himself.

The wife of the Shen family, Yun Xuanxuan, pulled her man, and then lowered her voice and said to the Shen family: "I didn't expect your cousin to be really capable. Fortunately, I didn't foolishly target him before. There is also this crib. It's so delicate and interesting, if we can sell it in the town, those rich people will definitely be very interested."

Yun Xuanxuan used to work as a maid in a wealthy family, so she knows a little bit about the wealthy family. When the Shen family was halfway making the crib, they actually had the same idea as Yun Xuanxuan. But he hasn't figured out how to tell his father. After all, Shen Chenyu gave the blueprint. If they want to use it, they need Shen Chenyu's consent.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, the Shen family found that although Shen Chenyu was always smiling and seemed to be easy-talking and gentle, in fact, Shen Chenyu was not easy to be fooled at all.

When he didn't offend Shen Chenyu, he was in a good mood and he didn't mind if others took advantage of him. But if someone accidentally offends him, Shen Chenyu will not only become very difficult to speak, maybe even laugh and dig a hole to bury others.

The second grandfather said that people like Shen Chenyu are called smiling tigers, and they are destined to go to court. In the future, whether their Shen family can get out of the small mountain village depends on the relationship between the Shen family and Shen Chenyu in the future.

The second great-grandfather also said that this kind of person would rather be held than offended. Even if someone in the Shen family doesn't like him, don't rush to find him unhappy.

Speaking of which, Shen Chenyu is not familiar with them, and there is no deep hatred between them. Even if the second grandpa didn't remind them like this, they would not have nothing to do with Shen Chenyu.

The Shen family looked at his radiant father, hesitated for a moment, then pulled his father aside, and told him about his idea of ​​selling the crib in the town.

When Uncle Shen heard his son's words, his first reaction was that it was inappropriate. After all, this thing was Shen Chenyu's idea, how could they use Shen Chenyu's drawings to make money.

However, before Uncle Shen refused, the Shen family said in a hurry: "Father, let's sell Brother Yu's drawings as a crib. If you feel uncomfortable, we will give Brother Yu 30% of the money we earn." Doesn't Brother Yu want to study? He can just use the 30% to study, and when our family earns money, Brother Yu will also have money for studying. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

Although the Shen family's words are very It makes sense, but Uncle Shen was already guilty of Erfang, so he still subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate. But looking at the delicate and beautiful crib, as a carpenter who has worked half his life, he is not willing to let this thing be buried casually.

"I don't think this is a good thing, or...we'd better wait for Brother Yu to come over, and we'll discuss it with him."

Who in the Shen family heard the words and wanted to speak to persuade his father, but then heard a familiar voice. "You don't need to discuss it with me, I was thinking about it before."
