Zhu Er, Zhu Four, and Zhu Wu returned to their rooms and each told their mother-in-law about the incident.

It's just different from Zhu Da's choice of one of Dabao and Erbao. Either they don't have a son yet, or their son has just been born. No matter what the turn, it won't be their turn to "rob".

"We can't worry about this yet. I guess it won't be our turn until everyone has studied there for two or three years. By then, it will be the time to worry."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that you will be born with several others, and you will have to choose one from them. How competitive will this be?"

Mrs. Li has given birth, but now the third and fourth babies are still babies. It will be at least two or three years before they start to read and write.

She did some calculations in her mind, and felt that it was a bit stressful to compete with the big house. The other side had learned it before her, so they would definitely not be able to compete with it, but compared with the second and fifth houses, her side would definitely take the lead.

Advantage.

There was just one thing that made her hesitate: "Tell me, when the time comes, should we prefer our own children, or the third brother's family?"

She thought it was okay to nurse the baby, but when it came to studying, she had to hesitate.

In the past, Mr. Li, like most people of this era, felt that it was the same whether he studied or not.

But after marrying into the Zhu family, especially when she saw the "benefits of studying" shown to them by her mother-in-law, it was impossible for her not to be moved.

How could she be willing to give up her child to others for such a benefit?

Zhu Si was startled for a moment, but he said: "You are stupid, they can't talk yet. When did my mother give enlightenment to Dabao and Erbao? I guess it will be around that time. Maybe at that time

The conditions of our family have also improved. If you have the money in your hands, and the third brother can add some more, I can give it to both of you."

I have to say that he "truthed" to a certain extent.

Mrs. Li came to her senses and said, "Yes, why did I forget this?"

She suddenly felt that she was usually too squandering. She had to save this money. How many taels a year? After so much, she still couldn't save a child's tuition?

"My mother-in-law can spare money to send her children to school, so we can definitely save money to send one child to school." Mrs. Li looked determined.

Because she knows that most of the family's income comes from her, and the part she pays to the father-in-law is still small. If her mother can "save" it, she will definitely be able to save it.

Zhu Si was happy to hear this, and happily coaxed Li a few words, and the couple began to "imagine" about the future.

After the sky turned dark, Zhu San went to the thatched house and brought Zhang Yan back.

Zhang Yan had been bored all day, and when she saw him she complained: "Why did you come just now? Do you know that I was there alone and I almost died of fright."

"The guests have just left and the house has not been sorted out, so I came to pick you up." Zhu San said.

"That's pretty much it." Zhang Yan didn't seem to realize that she was no longer Zhu San's wife, she still wanted to rely on him as before.

And Zhu San had Ye Yuran's "early reminder" and the estrangement in his heart, so he had the idea of ​​​​keeping some distance. It's just that the two of them are a couple after all, and some things cannot be sorted out and become confused.

Oh, I forgot to mention that during Li's and Zhang Yan's confinement period, Ye Yuran did a lot of things.

For example, she directed her sons to dig several compost pits, including fallen leaves, fruit and vegetable peels, plant ashes, etc., then poured in water-mixed manure, covered it with a layer of grass, and slowly let it soak.

At first, Old Man Zhu was indeed a little optimistic.

But day by day, when Ye Yuran asked Zhu Da to turn over the compost in pit No. 1 one day, he came over and looked: Huh?! How does it feel? Is it like that?

Although it is different from the fat he usually sees, as an old farmer, he still has some experience in how to judge whether the ground is "fat or not".

So when he confirmed it through color, smell, and feel, he still couldn't believe it: "You really did it?!"

"Well! This is a bit early, but I am in a hurry to use it, so I can only make do with it." Ye Yuran did not hide it from Old Man Zhu.

It’s not that she likes farming, she just thinks that Old Man Zhu’s current farming method is too rough and wants to improve it.

It would be better if he was willing to participate and cooperate with her experiments.

"What are you going to do? Why don't you wait until spring when you haven't even reached the fertile land? Aren't you wasting it..." Old man Zhu knew what she meant when he heard that it was a little early to read the page. This "fat" can

Even better, how can you not feel distressed?

Could it be that she doesn't know whether there will be a harvest depends on whether the fertilizer is fat enough?

He wished he could bury it back and dig it out when it was at its most "fat".

Next to it, Ye Yuran had already asked Zhu Da and Zhu Er to clear a small open space, level it, and pick out some sand that had been smoothed.

"Don't worry, I asked them to make several compost pits. They will definitely be enough for spring. Winter is coming soon. I will plant some vegetables first. If I plant according to the previous method, there will definitely be no time to rush. I want to change

A faster way." Ye Yuran "coaxed" Old Man Zhu.

"Do you think growing vegetables is just like fertilizing fertilizer, and you can do it as quickly as you want? Why are you just messing around?" He kept saying this, but in his heart, Old Man Zhu was scratching his head like a cat.

Now that she can get the compost out, is there really a way to serve the food and harvest it earlier?

Didn't she learn some new farming method from the book that he didn't know?

Ye Yuran didn't know that the benefits of reading she "brainwashed" the Zhu family not only affected the younger generation of the Zhu family, but even the most stubborn old man Zhu, when he saw the benefits it brought,

I couldn't help but feel a little moved.

No matter how short-sighted the animal is, once it sees the immediate benefits, it will want to stretch out its claws.

"How do you know if it will work if you don't bother? Don't just stand there, come over and help." Ye Yuran said, and handed the hoe in his hand to Old Man Zhu.

They were busy here, and he kept watching beside them. He must be "curious". Otherwise, if no one paid attention to him, what else would he be watching?

Ye Yuran saw that whenever she asked her sons to work, he would come to "keep an eye on" her, and she knew that this guy was probably a land idiot.

Okay, you land maniac, if you like farming, then just do it!

Except for the "husband and wife" aspect, Ye Yuran felt that Old Man Zhu was actually not that annoying, and there was no need to have such "clear boundaries" when it came to farming.

Even if she is no longer happy, as long as the Zhu family's sons and grandsons are around, she will have constant contact with Mr. Zhu throughout her life.

Perhaps if she changes her way of getting along, she can find a "balance point" between him and the Zhu family.

When the hoe was in his hand, Mr. Zhu, who had been cultivating the land all his life, felt at ease.

He said he was dissatisfied with the fact that the younger ones couldn't do it well and that he had to do it, but in fact the corner of his mouth raised and he started working with his sons, getting more and more energetic.

Zhu Wu secretly asked his third brother and fourth brother to look this way: Is the relationship between parents getting better?
