After the money was properly collected, Wang Yiyi followed her grandmother out of the yard. Not long after I walked out of the yard, I saw Grandma Liu next door. Grandma Liu smiled and said to Wang Yue: "Oh, this girl has grown up again. The girl in your family is lucky, but I don't know who will get the advantage in the future.
Grandma Wang Yiyi didn't care, she just smiled. He smiled and said, "The eldest grandson of yours is the most promising one. I heard he is studying in the town."
"Oh, I can't do anything in my studies. I'm just a child student who passed the exam. Master always praises me."
Wang Yiyi listened and understood in her heart that Grandma Liu was in Versailles. After all, there are only two children in this village. One is the current patriarch, and the other is her family's son. After all, the village chief is the head of a village, so he often has things to deal with.
It's not that Wang Yiyi looks down on the village chief, but that the clan really doesn't have money for the village chief to take the exam. So the village chief became a teacher and taught the students in the village for free. But the clan will give him 25 taels every year. In addition, people with other surnames need to undergo religious training before they can go to school.
The conditions of the village chief's family are quite good. But the village chief is the clan leader after all. He not only had to consider the development of his clan, but also the development of the village, so he held a meeting to summon the men from each household to discuss whether to go hunting in autumn.
Autumn hunting, as the name suggests, means waiting until the second month of autumn to organize villagers to go hunting in the mountains. Because there are certain risks, generally only men can go. Of course, you don’t have to go, because only those who go can get the meat. If you go to the county town to buy pork, it costs more than ten yuan per pound. It's not just an ordinary person's search, it's more than a dozen articles, which may be the same as a man's wages for a day's work.
Especially in ancient times, it was difficult to make money. Generally, wealthy families would hire long-term workers or directly buy slaves to train as subordinates. Only when there is really a shortage of manpower will they call some day laborers by the river to help.
Therefore, the work is actually very difficult, and it is exhausting to work for more than ten dollars a day. This is why people rarely get oily except during festivals.
Normally, you have to buy rice, oil, and salt, and everything costs money. For example, if you are a sericulture farmer, you can even weave two pieces of cloth to support your family business. But the industry of sericulture is very hard. So few people do it, especially in areas like the north, where mulberry trees germinate slower than in the south, and the silkworms obtained are not as large as those in the north.
Therefore, in an environment like the north, there are very few people wearing silk. Moreover, the climate in the north is relatively cold, so leather is generally worn in winter. If you don't wear leather, you can freeze to death in temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees below zero.
And even with leather, it’s still very cold in winter. After knowing that there was no fire kang here, Wang Yiyi thought about making a fire kang. But how could a 9-year-old know how to make a hot bed, even when the entire dynasty didn't have one? Immortals outside of heaven are still hermits outside the world.
Don't treat the ancients as fools, these excuses can only deceive yourself.
A person becomes smart for no reason. A person who was supposed to be ordinary suddenly shines. If someone notices something unusual, they will think it is an evil spirit possessing him or the spirits in the mountains causing trouble. The only thing waiting for her was to be burned to death.
So keep a low profile, your life is important.
