Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 10 Celery

Xiao Heran fell asleep at night, and the room was stuffy in summer.

He Zifeng held his head with one hand and fanned his son with the other. The little guy slept soundly. He lay on the pillow and could see his long eyelashes trembling with his breathing.

Qiu Yu looked at He Zifeng. It was like a dream that they could move out. To be honest, the thought of He Tong having such dirty thoughts about him made Qiu Yu feel sick. Even if he moved out, he would feel at ease even if he lived a little less well.

Children are their bottom line. Watching the little guy grow up little by little, there is infinite tenderness in his heart.

"Will you go to town to recruit workers tomorrow?" Qiu Yu asked.

The town recruits workers every year at this time since the autumn harvest is still two months away. Farmers are idle when they are idle, doing some odd jobs. If they are lucky, they can earn one or two taels of silver. If they are not lucky, they can earn three or four hundred taels of silver.

He Zifeng has a strong body, and since he has been a labor force in the family since he was a child, the foreman who recruits workers always wants him to go.

In the past, He Donglai refused to let him go, saying that there was no one to carry water or chop firewood at home. He did more than work outside, but no one paid him a penny.

It's different now. He is free and can go out if he wants to.

He Zifeng looked at Qiu Yu through the candlelight, and there was a hint of tenderness in the corner of his mouth that even he didn't notice, and said: "If you beg me, I won't go."

Qiu Yu was a little embarrassed: "Do you want to go or not?"

He Zifeng said: "Don't go yet." He just had a grudge against Wan Hai, who knows if he will be a stumbling block behind his back? He can also protect Qiuyu and the child at home.

It was already late at night, Qiu Yu asked: "What are you thinking about?" It had been a long time since the two of them had whispered like this in the middle of the night, it was a bit like the time they had just gotten married.

He Zifeng said: "I want to make some money and send our son to school in the future." Ten taels of silver can't help but be spent. They don't even have land, and they have to spend money on food and clothing, let alone send their children to school. Now, the eldest brother and Xu Li are the rich owners of the He family. They spent about ten taels on their son last year, and they said they would send He Xiaobao to study when he turns five.

Wan Hai is obsessed with his son's future and wants to change his family!

He Zifeng didn't expect his son to go to college and become a scholar. He just needed to know a few Chinese characters and understand the principles of life. He would benefit from it in the future.

He Zifeng looked at his son's sleeping face in profile and gently removed the hair stuck to his face.

Qiuyu also wants to provide education for her children. Why can He Dabao, He Erbao and He Xiaobao go to school, while his family can only collect firewood? The elder brother can also take part in the imperial examination. I heard that the elder brother of the prime minister's family is still an official in the court, and he is no different from a man.

Qiu Yu sighed with emotion after thinking about it: "But studying costs money." This is not a small amount, and no one who studies does not spend all his financial resources. It even takes several laborers to tighten their belts to support one scholar. There were only two of them, and they had no one to rely on at home.
