Chapter 201 Raising a younger brother in ancient times 2

It is now the third day of April, and by the end of the month, we will be planting rice in the fields.

The farmhands we hired before were all people from the village. Those with smaller fields could finish planting rice in one or two days, and then they would come to our house to help.

Yun Chu went to his father's study and looked through some books.

Fang Yan woke up and didn't see Yun Churen, so he cried out in a sobbing voice: "Sister, where are you?"

"Ayan, I'm in the study."

Hearing Yun Chu's voice, Fang Yan immediately went to the study.

Fang Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Chu.

"Sister, I thought you left too."

"Don't worry, I'll always be with you wherever I go."

"Come on, I'll teach you how to read.

"it is good."

Yun Chu taught Fang Yan to read and write. Time passed quickly and soon it was dark.

Yun Chu went to the kitchen to cook, and Fang Yan followed her to the kitchen, sat on a small stool, and helped to light the fire.

Soon, Yun Chu prepared the meal and the two of them ate.

Yun Chu took Fang Yan out to help digest the food.

While digesting the food, I met people from the village.

"Yun Chu, will your family hire someone to farm the land this year?"

"Uncle Changhe, of course I want it. Although my father has passed away, my brother and I still have to make a living, so of course we have to plant the fields."

"My father invited you before, and I will continue to invite you. The salary is still the same as last year."

"That's good." Li Changhe was still worried that Yun Chu, who was only ten years old, didn't know anything and might forget about farming and planting rice.

His family has many boys but little land. If he doesn't work as a farmhand, he will probably starve in the second half of the year.

"Uncle Changhe, please tell the other uncles that we are still bothering you to help this year."

"Okay, okay." Li Changhe left happily.

After walking for a while, Yun Chu took Fang Yan home.

The other villagers felt relieved when they knew they would be asked to work again this year.

After Yun Chu and the others returned home, they took a bath and Yun Chu coaxed Fang Yan to sleep.

She went to the study and found the contracts she had signed with the farmhands.

Yun Chu wrote a new contract for this year. After finishing it, Yun Chu went to rest.

The next day, after lunch, Yun Chu took the new contract and Fang Yan to the home of his uncle, who had previously worked as a farmhand for him.

I signed a contract with them first, in duplicate, and they also took one copy in their hands.

After signing the contract, these people felt more at ease.

"Dad, Fang Yunchu has signed a contract with the villagers, so we'll let them farm the land." Fang Heng said, "Dad, I told you that we should go find Fang Yunchu as soon as possible so that we can trick him into giving us the land."

Fang Dajin narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? In three or four years, I will find her a marriage partner. When she gets married, Fang Yan will only be six or seven years old. What can a child understand?"

"When the time comes, we will adopt Fang Yan. Then the house and land will all be ours."

"Dad, you are really shrewd and have a long-term vision," Fang Heng said.

By the beginning of May, all those who had signed contracts with Yunchu came to plant rice.

After planting the rice seedlings, Yun Chu paid them their wages.

When paying them their wages, Yun Chu told them that they would need help with weeding.

The amount of money you earn depends on how many acres of weeding you do.

These people all agreed.

After the land was planted, Yun Chu thought about the plot in the book again.

Write the plot on paper, and once you’re done, put it in the space.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for autumn harvest. During the harvest, Yun Chu took Fang Yan to the fields to help pick rice ears.

After the grains were dried, Yun Chu put them all into the space.

When her father was around, he would sell grain, but Yun Chu had space, so she didn't have to worry about the grain getting moldy.

Yun Chu also distributed 50 kilograms of grain to each of the farmhands who helped.

Yun Chu distributed food mainly to improve her favorability. She and her brother were young, and if they encountered any problems, they might have to ask the villagers for help.

Of course, she has a system that allows her to redeem points for items and so on, and she can also protect herself.

However, we must be prepared for any eventuality.

"Sister, are we really going to see the lantern festival?" Fang Yan asked.

"Yes, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go see the lantern festival." It seemed a bit lonely for the two of them to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival at home.

On August 13th, they took a ox cart to the town, and after arriving in the town, they took a horse carriage to Yuanzhou City.

This carriage is specially used for traveling between Yuanzhou City and Fengning County.

When they arrived in Yuanzhou City, Yun Chu found a nice restaurant to stay in.

After having dinner at the restaurant, Yun Chu took Fang Yan shopping, bought some books, and returned to the restaurant.

On the 15th, Yun Chu took Fang Yan shopping.

"Sister, I want the rabbit lantern."

"Okay." Yun Chu bought a rabbit lantern for Fang Yan and a lotus lantern for himself.

After walking around for a while, Yun Chu said, "Would you like to eat something?"

"want."

Yun Chu took Fang Yan to eat various foods. After they were full, they slowly started to return to the restaurant.

When he returned to the restaurant, Fang Yan was so tired that he fell asleep.

Yun Chu asked for hot water, wiped his body, and then went to sleep.

After watching the lantern festival, Yun Chu and Fang Yan went home.

It's November now, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

Yun Chu got up in the morning and found it was snowing.

After Fang Yan got up and had breakfast, Yun Chu took Fang Yan to make a snowman.

Fang Yan had never made a snowman before, so Yun Chu taught him how to make one. After he finished making one, Fang Yan said, "Sister, let's make three more, so that all of our family members can be included."

"Okay." Yun Chu nodded.

I'm afraid this child misses his parents.

After making four snowmen, Fang Yan was happy.

"Be good and wait for me in the room. I'll go make some ginger soup." After playing in the snow for so long, she was worried that Fang Yan would catch a cold.

After the ginger soup was cooked, Yun Chu and Fang Yan drank some, and then curled up in bed to read.

At noon, Yun Chu didn’t cook, but cooked dumplings. After eating, he curled up in bed again.

There is nothing to do this winter.

"Knock knock knock" someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Yun Chu asked in a hoarse voice when he heard the knock on the door.

"Yun Chu, I'm Aunt Jingui."

Yunchu put on his shoes and ran out. He opened the door and saw Aunt Jingui carrying a basket of eggs. "Yunchu, do you want to buy some eggs? Here are thirty eggs. Do you want to buy some?"

"Okay, I want it. Give it all to me."

"Just give me twenty cents."

"Okay, Aunt Jingui, wait a moment, I'll go put the eggs in and get the money."

"Row."

Yun Chu picked up the basket and put the eggs in the kitchen. He then took out some money from the space and put some candies in the basket. He then gave the basket to Aunt Jingui.

"Aunt Jingui, take this candy back home and give it to your children."

"Thank you, Yunchu." Aunt Jin Gui went back happily.

Yun Chu closed the door, boiled a few eggs he had just bought, and then took them back to his room to eat.

Time passed day by day, and soon the new year arrived. On the first day of the new year, Yun Chu took Fang Yan to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.

"Sister, are my parents doing well in the other world?" Fang Yan asked.

"Of course it is good."

Before, Fang Yan asked where his father had gone, and Yun Chu told Fang Yan that his father and mother had gone to another world.

"So, we have to be well too, so that Dad and Mom can feel at ease."

"Ah."

After paying New Year's greetings, the two siblings slowly walked back home.

On the way back, Fang Cheng, the grandson of the third uncle's family, stopped Yun Chu and Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yun Chu, what delicious food did you bring? Give it to me."

Yun Chu turned his hand and dodged Fang Cheng's hand that was trying to grab the basket. "This is a tribute to my parents. Do you want to eat it?"

Fang Cheng was eleven years old and knew what tribute was. He immediately refused it and ran away.

Yun Chu took Fang Yan home.
