If you don't listen to her at this time and go out to work hard to earn money, she will lose her temper and ignore herself all day and night.

There are many people like Zhang Yang in Chang'an City, who are looking for work every day.

You get paid every day, and most coolies are short-term.

The income is not too high and not stable.

Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, people worked as coolies, and the supervision was so intense that you couldn't even think about fishing.

She looked very stubborn, and it looked like she had no choice but to agree. Anyway, she had other things to do at home today.

Zhang Yang said: "Wash your hands and face first."

Zhang Yang has always had a rule that he must wash his hands before eating.

Li Yue washed his face with water, and his childish face suddenly felt much refreshed, and his eyes became energetic.

Zhang Yang has become accustomed to the rule of washing hands before eating.

Said to pay attention to hygiene.

I don’t know where a poor man like him got such a fastidious habit.

Moreover, Zhang Yang never drinks raw water. He has to boil the water before drinking it.

Bringing the cooked porridge to her, Zhang Yang said, "What will I eat at home if I don't work?"

Li Yue drank the vegetable porridge without a sip, keeping her eyes on Zhang Yang, ready to lose her temper at any time as long as he dared to go out to do hard labor.

Zhang Yang served himself a bowl of porridge, took a sip of porridge and a bite of cake, and just spent his breakfast like this

An aunt walked to the door, holding a bag in her hand and shouted to Zhang Yang in the yard: "Xiao Zhang, there are some medicinal materials here, which are said to replenish qi and blood. Give it to your wife to try."

Zhang Yang stepped forward to take the medicinal materials and said, "Thank you Aunt Wang."

Aunt Wang covered her mouth and said with a smile, "If you need anything, just tell Aunt Wang."

The neighbors are very enthusiastic and will send some things over from time to time.

Aunt Wang lived in one house on both sides of the house, and Aunt Yang lived in the other house.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang neither have husbands, but they don't have to worry about food and drink. They lived here when they first met Li Yue.

Li Yue would always have a straight face at this time. She didn't like the neighbor's kindness.

Li Yue has been in poor health since she was a child, and she almost grew up drinking medicine.

Zhang Yang threw the medicinal materials aside.

Most of the symptoms of anemia in young children will gradually improve after adulthood. This disease cannot be rushed and taken indiscriminately. In fact, as long as you pay attention to some nutrition and diet on weekdays, it will be enough.

After Li Yue finished breakfast, she took out a book at home with several short stories written in it.

Zhang Yang would tell some short stories on weekdays. After listening to these stories, Li Yue secretly recorded them, such as the story of the farmer and the snake, the story of three monks who had no water to drink, and the story of the crow drinking water.

These stories may seem simple, but the truths reflected in them are profound and worth pondering.

Li Yue turned to look at Zhang Yang, who was whittling a pile of wood at the moment.

"What are you going to do again?"

Li Yue sat on the chair with her chin in her hands and blinked her pretty eyes.

Zhang Yang carefully whittled the wood and said: "I plan to modify the chair. This chair is a bit too high. I want to make it a rocking chair."

Li Yue withdrew her eyes again. She knew that Zhang Yang had a very special ability.

No matter what is in Zhang Yang's hands, he can always repair it, and he can also turn waste into treasure.

Most of the things at home were made by Zhang Yang, including the small clay stove at home.

That stove is different from ordinary stoves.

There is a small ventilation opening at the bottom of the stove made by Zhang Yang. A small change can make the stove better to use.

However, Zhang Yang seems not to use this skill to make money.

After Zhang Yang whittled the wooden strips, he fastened several sections of the wooden strips together.

Then cut off a section of the chair legs.

After measuring the size, mark it.

Then hollow out the marked positions of the two wooden strips.

Fasten the two wooden strips to the chair legs, and a rocking chair is ready.

Zhang Yang tried it himself first and it was quite firm.

Li Yue came over with a scroll in her hand and asked, "Can I sit on this chair?"

"you try?"

"You'll fall!"

"I'm holding you up!"

"That's okay."

Li Yue carefully sat on the rocking chair. The chair would rock back and forth according to her center of gravity. She had to grab the handle every time it rocked back.

Zhang Yang said: "The most important thing when sitting on this kind of chair is to relax. Don't be nervous."

Li Yue listened to Zhang Yang's words and relaxed herself. The shaking of the chair became smaller and became much more stable.

Maybe it was Zhang Yang who was supporting him from behind.

Li Yue thought about relaxing her body, putting all her weight on the chair, and the rocking chair leaned back for a while and then rocked back.

Slowly opening his eyes, Li Yue saw Zhang Yang's face in the sun, and there was still some sweat on his face.

"Didn't you say support me?"

"You didn't fall down."

"What if I really fall?"

"That's what you did on purpose."



It was very difficult to argue with him. Anyway, I didn't win, so I gave up.

Li Yue sat on the rocking chair, squinting her eyes comfortably. She would not get tired of sitting like this until dark.

Zhang Yang went to his backyard again and started kneading mud. The stove was already half done.

We have seen many earthen stoves in later generations, with various styles.

This corner of the house is empty, so why not make use of it?

Zhang Yang plans to make a stove that can open two pots.

Picking up a stone, Zhang Yang repaired it carefully, trying to make the stone as smooth as possible so that it would be solid when built on it.

The young couple lived a very peaceful life.

The street in front of my house is deserted.

I don’t know what’s going on, but everyone doesn’t want to pass by here even if they take a long detour.

It's like I avoided this place on purpose.

It is said that there was a group of people who made trouble here before, and they were taken away by the officials within a short time of burning incense.

The security efficiency of our Datang City is really extremely high.

Going all the way north on Zhuque Street is Chengtianmen. Behind Chengtianmen is the most noble place in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin sat in the Manna Hall and looked at the memorials sent from various places. These are the harvest conditions of this year's autumn harvest in various counties.

Compared with previous years, this year’s food harvest is considered bumper.

The stone hanging in Li Shimin's heart finally fell.

Empress Changsun came to the palace, handed Li Shimin a bowl of soup and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too tired."

Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand and said, "I have to keep an eye on those state affairs."

Queen Changsun sat down and said, "I don't know how Yue'er's illness is."

Li Shimin sighed deeply when he mentioned Yue'er. Yue'er had been weak since she was a child, and the medical officer at the Imperial Medical Office said that she might not survive to adulthood.
