Seeing that the days are getting better and better, Sangazi is becoming more and more diligent. In addition to spending time with his wife at home, he usually takes care of the crops.

Of course, as a man, in addition to working in the fields, you can also earn merits by working as a Xiangyong. Sangazi is tall and strong, so I originally wanted to be a Xiangyong. You must know that Xiangyong usually has six merits, and there are also special

When you go into battle to kill the enemy, you can get 30% of the spoils. The richest people in the village are the village warriors. They live in three or four courtyards each and usually hire people to take care of their fields.

They were practicing martial arts in the yard, but Sangazi was envious when he saw them.

But his wife is pregnant, and he can't be a warrior in any way. Fortunately, his life is very nourishing now, but men always like to have a try, don't they?

For the sake of his family, he did not go to test his rural bravery or ask to work in a new town. He was willing to work as a farmer honestly. But now that life is so good, no one wants to make achievements and come back after making great achievements.

People's adaptability is always strong. When they were refugees, they were forced to do nothing. But now they have created it with their own hands. Looking forward to having fertile land, a wife, and children in the future, Sangazi's thick black face is full of smiles.

Even when hoeing the ground, there is a steady stream of energy.

At noon, Sangazi's wife brought food. He just stopped working, led the old cattle to the tree beside the road and tied it, grabbed some straw and chewed it, and gathered under the shade of the tree with the villagers who were busy with farm work.

Eat.

In sympathy with his hard work, his wife brought not only a large bowl of steamed and bloated millet, but also several wooden boxes containing scrambled eggs with green onions, boiled salted eggs, fried carrots, and dried tofu and fish soup, which was quite a sumptuous meal.

.

Tofu is relatively difficult to eat in Anxin because there are not many beans, but Sangazi bought some from the Anxin warehouse in order to replenish his mother-in-law's health. Who would have thought that his wife would bring them all to him now?

.

This dried fish is cheap, there are many fish and birds in Baiyangdian, and the villagers’ home also organizes special people to fish for it, so almost every family in Anxin can eat fish. Now the market in Anxin is gradually becoming more vibrant. Over the past few months,

Markets have been opened in Anxin New Town and the surrounding Wubao. Many villagers who have nothing to do often go there to go shopping. They go fishing in Baiyangdian and exchange food for food at the market. Anyone who wants to build water conservancy or build new houses can go there.

Go to the market and ask for help from the stewards of the old people's home. They will send people to help. All they need to do is provide food and drink, and add some merit to the craftsmen who work.

It's just that Sangazi is still a little regretful. When he lived in Anxin, he could still see his little benefactor from time to time. At that time, his little benefactor was still building houses for everyone. Now that he is assigned to the village, it is difficult to see him.

My little benefactor, I don’t know how he is doing.

Thinking of the handsome, gentle, hard-working young man in his memory, Sangazi couldn't help but feel silly.

Sangazi is diligent and has made a lot of achievements in his family. He exchanges a lot of food for himself and his family. The rest is mostly distributed to the orphans, old and weak in the village. If there are good things, the village chief and people close to him will also give them to him.

He is so generous and generous, and his wife is virtuous, so he has a high reputation in the village. He has been elected as the village chief by everyone. Now, after the village chief retires in two years, he may be elected as the village chief.

After a lot of hard work, Sangazi had a good appetite and the food was delicious. He ate the food in big mouthfuls, with a feeling of satisfaction on his face. His wife couldn't help but lower her eyebrows and smile, looking at him tenderly.

As she becomes a mother, her temperament becomes more and more gentle. Although she is only eighteen years old, she has already shed the youthfulness of a girl. At this time, she caressed her belly, and suddenly remembered something she was worried about, and she couldn't help but speak. She said to her husband: "The day before yesterday, I heard that the benefactor's government had developed a kind of food called preserved eggs, which is very different from salted eggs. I heard Aunt Wang tell me that it was just trial-produced recently, and was used by the benefactor. The government informed the villagers: Do you want to try it? If not, I will also go and learn from it."

The so-called preserved eggs are the preserved eggs of later generations. The weather got hotter, and Li Yi wanted to eat some cold dishes, so he told Wang the production method. Wang repeatedly experimented with the proportion of lime and plant ash, and recently successfully developed it.

Before the refugees, all the livestock were raised in farms. Later, when the number increased, most of them were distributed to the villagers in proportion. Now there are ten chickens in Sangazi's family, but they are not growing as fast as those in the farms, and the hens are not growing as fast. They have all begun to lay eggs, so the family is currently considering whether to kill some chickens or keep raw eggs.

People who are used to living in poverty are not used to being rich all of a sudden. They raise so many chickens at home, and they get tired of eating them every day. If they are left for a long time, they will become bad. In addition to pickling them into salted eggs and selling them to the elderly homes, There's really no solution.

Hearing what the lady said, Sangazi thought that it would not be an advantage just to learn how to do it, or to do it in a variety of ways. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he nodded and said: "It's up to you, but you are pregnant, so you need to take more care of it." Get dressed!"

A young man over there said: "Since the method came from the benefactor's house, it must be a good thing. Sister-in-law, if you can learn it, you can also ask my wife to teach me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sanga couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said: "You are smart, you know that all the good things come out of the benefactor's house. The little benefactor is kind and righteous, giving us land and houses, and also thinking about what to do if we can't finish the chickens. Who can If you don’t believe in your little benefactor, I won’t believe it! That food tastes cool, so it’s best to eat it on a hot day, so you’re in for a treat.”

Seeing these young people chatting and joking, the old man who was eating silently next to him was a little dissatisfied. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and frowned: "How long has it been since the good days? So I tried my best to find ways to eat. But I remember that I only had a few taels of food a day, and I was hungry. If you are in a hurry, you will catch grasshoppers, dragonflies and scorpions and eat them. It is hard to forget your roots as a human being!"

It's rare for grandpa to get angry. Seeing his dark face, Mrs. Sanga and the young man were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and didn't dare to say anything. Sangazi laughed and said, "I hope I can calm you down and wait! It's better to hurry up. Eat and work hard later."

The young man gave him a look and began to work hard to consume the food in the bowl. Lady Sanga and the old man stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

After eating, drinking water and resting for a while, Sangazi went down to the ground to continue working. Lady Sanga put away her lunch box, but didn’t want to go back. She just sat in the shade of the tree and watched them work, with a smile on her face unknowingly. .

Such a wonderful day!

…………

The wind brought moisture and warmth from Baiyangdian. The green wheat waves undulated in the wind. Farmers like black spots were busy in the fields. The originally barren land was once again regarded as a treasure by the people. They breathed the fresh air and absorbed the energy of the farmers. Sweat, green and hairy grass emerged from the ground, and the endless tender green seemed to be the green spring water rising from the depths of the earth, overflowing along the undulating fields to the horizon.

The old man stood on the ridge of the field, looking at this magnificent and beautiful picture, with tears in his eyes.

This scene had appeared in his dreams thousands of times. He was thinking about it when he was working as a cow and horse for a wealthy family, when he was running away from famine and starving, and even when he was forced to die in a corner by the government, he still thought about it.

He was thinking about it, but now he couldn't think about it, because the beautiful scenery that he could only dream about was now right in front of him.

The comfortable and harmonious village, the lingering smoke, the laughing and playing children, and the hard-working villagers, all of this is owned by me. And these are all thanks to one person - the little benefactor Li Yi.

You must know that the famine in the northwest is still going on. Thousands of people starve to death every day. Being able to live like this is something countless people can only hope for. Only those who are in trouble cherish everything in front of them. If this kind of peace and prosperity can continue forever

After going down, the old man felt that he would live in a fairyland for the rest of his life.

Looking at his son and daughter-in-law who were busy in the fields, his eyes were full of relief and determination. It was rare for him to live a peaceful life for a few days under the protection of his little benefactor. The government, the court, the wealthy and powerful, these people,

Don't come here, everyone should do their own thing and let the little benefactor keep looking after us, that would be a blessing!

I just hope that my daughter-in-law will be pregnant tomorrow and give birth to a big fat boy. When I see my grandson born, it will be worth dying for me. As for the kindness of my little benefactor, I will not be able to finish it when I am old. I want to let my son

Even if my son is not done paying it back, he still wants his grandson to pay it back.

The old man kept looking at the fields like this, thinking about the future in his mind. The more he thought about it, the farther he thought. A slight smile appeared on his lips from time to time. Until the sun went west and the farmers in the fields finished their work, he did not

After moving it away, I remembered that it was time to go back and check the number of people inside the bond.

After staying in Anxin for a few days and dealing with some urgent matters, Li Yi returned to Gaoyang without stopping. The time for the county examination was getting shorter and shorter, so he had to concentrate on studying and try to pass the county examination.

After returning to Gaoyang, Li Yi concentrated on studying in the academy. What he mainly reads now is "Four Books, Big Titles and Small Titles", which is the question bank of the Ming Dynasty imperial examination. The Ming Dynasty relied on the eight-part essay to select scholars.

The Four Books and Five Classics, Zhu Xi's Annotations, these are all things you need to read, but for now, it is these big topics and small topics that are most helpful to me.

In fact, judging from Li Yi's concentration on memorizing the articles in the library every day, it is not difficult to imagine that he wants to memorize this question bank and take the boy's exam. If he succeeds in the questions then, it will be easy to get into the list.

Of course, this is just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. You can still pass the county exam, but when it comes to the prefectural exam, it is not only difficult to pass, but it is also easy to be considered cheating and be severely punished. But now that the county exam is coming, I can only

You can maintain your good memory and use your brain. Besides, these sample essays are still useful. By reading the above essays, you can figure out the efforts of famous writers in solving and completing the topic. This is the biggest benefit. If you want to memorize this book

There are very few people.

Of course, it is also because they generally do not have a memory as good as Li Yi. Even if they do, they have already read poetry and books, and they have to learn from the articles of their predecessors.

But Li Yi has now become this kind of worthless person. He obviously has a superhuman memory and conditions, but he can only gamble his luck and get the right questions in the examination room.

As for learning how to solve problems, solve problems, and create stocks, he has absolutely no time to learn these things now..."

The so-called big topic is a complete topic with chapters and sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics. For example, when writing a topic, Confucius said: "Isn't it the same to study and practice it from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have a friend come from afar?"

Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know something but doesn't feel embarrassed? This is a big question.

For example, if the question lists a single sentence, "It is a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time," it is also considered a big question.

But if the question "Learn and practice from time to time" only has the first half of the sentence, and the second half is cut off, it is a small question. There is also the question "It's a pleasure", which only has the second half of the sentence, and the first half is cut off. This is also

It's called a small topic.

It is a joy to learn simply and practice it from time to time. You can write three questions in nine words, and the essay in four books is at least three hundred words. It is not uncommon to write five or six hundred words if you like it and express it eloquently.

These three sample essays are over 1,000 words long. Not counting the Five Classics, the four books combined total more than 50,000 words. The examiner of the scientific examination can choose as many combinations from them and ask as many questions as he wants, so he has to memorize the entire question bank.

It's really unrealistic.

Now I am proud of my amazing memory, and want to memorize "Four Books, Major Titles, Small Titles and Wenfu", but I am embarrassed to let others know about this, because this kind of thing is only done by children who have failed many times.

It's very shameful and hopeless, but I know it, but I have to do it.

Since you want to memorize it, you can't just memorize it. You have to study it carefully and try to figure out how famous experts solved the problem, solved the problem, and started the lecture. Just like later generations did the problem, mastering the problem-solving methods and ideas is the right way. That's it.

When the time comes, I won't get the wrong answer, and I can still pass the test by relying on the skills I learned. Otherwise, I would be the biggest fool to put my success or failure above luck.

Li Yi was hiding in the library. The festival had just ended and there were not many people coming to borrow books, so Li Yi found a hidden location and started reciting. As for the steward below who was managing the books, he had already made tea for Li Yi.

Come up.

Different from the famous name of Qianlong Li Yi outside, Li Yi is also extremely famous in the academy, but he has a bad reputation. The stewards at the bottom of the academy thought he was a lawless playboy, so they hurriedly took care of him for fear that he would do evil.

.

The model essay is not only a model essay, but also an interpretation and proof of the words of sages. It involves many interesting viewpoints and arguments. Li Yi read two of them and found them very attractive. Even some of the philosophical things were read by himself.

, it also feels like a sudden realization.

In this way, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to reading the book, and even a group of people came in without any clue.

Three students entered the library and were selecting the books they wanted to read. After walking around, one of them spotted Li Yi who was reading a book and was stunned.

He summoned two companions, and the three of them looked at Li Yi studying seriously and whispered.

"Why is this Li Yi here? Does a bully like him still like to study?"

"How is that possible? I think he must have come here to read because the county examination is about to come, so he was cramming."

"Let me see what he's reading?"

A student shook his head and walked to the bookshelf in front of Li Yi, pretending to be looking for a book, and occasionally reaching over to glance at the book in Li Yi's hand.

Li Yizheng saw a wonderful article and was engrossed in reading. Although he noticed someone approaching, he didn't care to raise his head and said nothing.

The man poked his head around for a while, with a sneer on his face, returned to the crowd, and said with a smile: "Guess what book that bully is reading?"

"Stop being so pretentious, say it quickly, say it quickly."

The student smiled and said: "He is reading "Four Books, Major Titles and Small Titles". To be precise, he is memorizing the articles above."
To be continued...
