Liu brought a spoon and began to divide the porridge for a few children, and said to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the locked door of the east house opposite: "Today's Laba Festival, where did grandma go?" ”

Liu said: "Before you came, Wang Shuzi came over and said that he had made a meal today, and took your grandmother over for lunch and Laba porridge!" ”

"Oh, that's it!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, turned around to leave, and was stopped by Liu.

"Qing'er, leave my share for grandma, and wait for your grandma's house to come, I'll give it to them for you." Liu said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Liu and smiled.

"I still don't bother the fourth aunt, I just happened to go to my sister-in-law to deliver porridge, and I can send it together."

Liu's personality, Yang Ruoqing is clear.

The geese have plucked their feathers and petty theft, and they have never stopped.

Although he didn't dare to have an affair with Yang Hua'an again, in front of and behind the house, he stole some dishes from the big house and some soap powder.

Seeing Dabao and Mianmian coming out to eat with snacks, she also had to coax the two to satisfy her cravings.

This bowl of laba porridge for her to hand over?

Hand over an empty bowl, right?

Seeing that Yang Ruoqing didn't trust, Liu pouted, didn't dare to rely on it, turned his head and continued to feed Kang boy Laba porridge.

……

After Laba, it will be closer to the New Year.

At this time last year, every family was busy buying New Year's goods in large quantities and pulling new clothes for their children.

This year, due to the floods, there was no harvest in the fields, and there was no cotton or anything.

During this time, the villagers have been living on the relief food distributed by the imperial court last time.

In many people's homes, almost two meals of porridge a day.

Of course, those in the medicine collection team and the transportation team are doing a little better.

Because of the collection of medicine and the escort of goods, there is living money.

This living water money can support their family's expenses in the middle of winter, and it will be good to wait until the wheat is ripe in April and May next year.

Therefore, this year's lunar month, although the weather is sunny, everyone's enthusiasm for buying New Year's goods is not as good as last year.

However, on the hillside by the river behind the village, the construction of the school is in full swing.

Yang Huazhong took the lead, Yang Huaming, Yang Huazhou, and Luo Blacksmith helped out.

Chang Geng, Da Niu, Baozhu Yuzhu Brothers, Baozi Brother Wang Liang, and Yu Dafu from Yujia Village all ran over to help.

Yang Ruoqing originally wanted to settle their wages.

But they didn't want to be killed.

There is only one reason: repairing the school is a major event for the benefit of future generations.

Villagers who have lived at the foot of this Mianniu Mountain for generations are looking forward to their children and grandchildren being able to go to school.

Be able to study, do learning, and take the exam for an official and a half-position in the future, and be a master.

Even if you can't take the official and half-post exam, you can be exempted from the conscription tax, and you can regularly go to the government to receive a certain amount of rice grain!

Coupled with the call of Li Zheng and several village elders, many strong men who were idle at home also joined the camp of repairing the school.

Because Li Zheng said that this school was paid for by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

If you want to enjoy this benefit, you just don't have to pay for it, at least you have to do it.

Those who have contributed have registered their names in Lizheng, and their children will be given priority in enrolling in school when they turn back, and they can also be given discounts in terms of tuition fees.

As for those who don't make a difference, hehe......

In this way, everyone's enthusiasm and enthusiasm for building the school were all mobilized, and they devoted themselves to the grand cause of building the school one by one.

If there is a craft, he will be a craftsman.

If they have no skills, they go to the mountains to dig stones and cut down trees.

In addition, because of the abundant manpower, Yang Ruoqing also divided a group of people to come out and let them repair the road leading from the entrance of the school to the river at the bottom of the mountain.

Taking advantage of this season, the water level in the river receded, and the people led the people to strengthen the wooden bridge above the river, and put iron chains on both sides.

In this way, the safety factor of the children is guaranteed from this passing through the school.

There is no pay, it is voluntary labor.

So, in terms of this meal, Yang Ruoqing didn't spare any money.

Two meals a day, there are meat and vegetarian dishes, let the big guys who come to help take care of enough and take care of it!

"Dad, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, let the big guy rest for a while, lunch is here!"

Yang Ruoqing was carrying two bamboo baskets, which contained several stacks of clean bowls and two chopsticks, and was coming from this side of the bridge.

Behind him, followed by the Sun family, the Da Sun family, Bao Suyun and the osmanthus Dayun.

Two meals a day, the Sun family prepared the meals and sent them to the school here in person.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's shout, Yang Huazhong laughed.

The man hurried over to beckon everyone to rest.

The big guy quickly put down the tools in his hand, washed his hands, and then gathered around this side.

By this time, the women who delivered the food had already placed the food in a flat place.

Two washbasin-sized wooden basins, one wooden basin, are potatoes and roasted pork belly.

There is also a wooden basin with spicy radish.

In addition, there are two pots of rice, as well as a pot of rice soup to soak in the pot.

All the people who had done a lot of work all day were hungry at this time.

Seeing this hot, fragrant and spicy meal, it hooked the worms even more.

They took the spiky rice, pulled the vegetables at the head of the meal, and squatted aside to pull them.

"Everyone eats with an open belly, is full, manages enough, and if you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to work!"

Yang Huazhong came over after washing his hands and greeted everyone with a smile.

All should be well.

Yang Ruoqing filled a bowl of rice and brought it to Yang Huazhong.

"Dad, you eat too."

"Don't worry, Dad smokes first."

Yang Huazhong said, then sat down on a stone next to him, and smoked.

Yang Ruoqing waited with a bowl on the side.

In her impression, her father used to be a non-smoker.

At that time, he said that smoking is burning money, and the tobacco leaves grown at home are not as good as those bought outside, so this is burning money.

However, since the conditions at home have improved, my father has gradually smoked.

Not too much, though.

Yang Ruoqing knew that he was reluctant in the past.

Now that the conditions allow, I want to have a little hobby of my own.

"Qing'er is, look at this school, more than half of it has been built."

Yang Huazhong pointed to the school in front of him and said excitedly to Yang Ruoqing.

"We were still calculating before, as long as it doesn't rain or snow this day, according to this progress, it will be completed in ten days!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded: "There is a lot of power!" ”

Yang Huazhong said: "Look at this situation, wait until the school is built, and then dry it for more than 20 days, and then it will be the Lantern Festival." ”

"After the Lantern Festival, school can start!"

Hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Yang Ruoqing was also looking forward to it.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Mu Zichuan wanted to go to the capital early.

She discussed with Luo Fengtang, planning to leave after the Lantern Festival.

The Emperor's Reward Wants.
