Chapter Eighty-Nine
After getting Li Congwen's admission, Li Yuqing was also extremely relaxed, and she didn't feel distressed at all when she handed over the silver, because it was equivalent to cultivating talents for herself in advance, which was worth the small effort.
Li Yuqing is not soft here, Li Congwen sees Li Yuqing's soft hand when he takes out money. 10 taels of silver, the farmer can't save a few taels of silver a year, no wonder there are few people who study, this is really a money-burning thing. I am even more grateful to Li Yuqing in my heart, if it weren't for herself, she would have no chance to study in this life.
At lunchtime, Shopkeeper Yao went back to Fumanlou, originally asking Li Yuqing to go back together, but because Shopkeeper Yao was really busy, Li Yuqing politely refused. When the carriage drove up to the street, they got out of the carriage of their own accord.
Walking down the street with Li Congwen, I saw a bookstore walk in. I bought some ordinary pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and some simple books that can be used now. After calculating the price, it was more than three taels, Li Congwen didn't expect so much, some time ago he saved some money for Li Yuqing's car, I thought that 2 taels of silver would be quite a lot, but I didn't expect that such an ordinary thing would not be something I could pay.
Li Yuqing looked at Li Congwen's obviously tight body when she heard the price, and thought about it, since the tuition fees have been paid, this little thing should be done together. didn't wait for Li Congwen to say anything, he happily took out the money to settle the account, and Li Congwen was very embarrassed to see it.
Walking out of the bookstore, Li Congwen took out more than two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuqing, which startled Li Yuqing: "Congwen, what are you doing here." ”
Li Congwen bit his lip, clenched the front in his hand, raised his head and looked at Li Yuqing fixedly, and said, "Sister Yuqing, thank you for helping me advance the money just now, now I only have so much money on me, you accept it, and I will send it to you when I go back." ”
Li Yuqing was a little speechless, although she had said that she would pay for the tuition, and they would settle the rest of the expenses by themselves. But now seeing Li Congwen like this, she doesn't feel that there is any need to be so clear, even if it is all covered in the future, Li Congwen will not be dependent on others and study hard.
"Cong Wen, what is this for, I won't ask for the money quickly. This time, I bought it for you as a celebration of your successful admission, and you have to rely on yourself to know in the future. ”
Although Li Yuqing said so, she was still not happy. shirked a few more times and saw that Li Yuqing was sincere, so he put the money back in his sleeve pocket and silently held it tightly in his hand.
After buying the things you want to use, walk back to Fumanlou to prepare for the ox cart home. Entering the Fuman Building, because it was time to eat uprightly, the guy was carrying the food back and forth in the hall. Shopkeeper Yao was snapping in front of the counter and keeping accounts, and he wanted to say hello to Shopkeeper Yao and go back to Lijia Village, so he had to give up. pulled a guy who was running the hall and asked him to pass a word, and she took Li Congwen away.
I bought some pastries on the way to press my stomach, and when I returned to the village, it was already past dinner, and Li Yuqing got off the carriage at the entrance of the village and said goodbye to Li Congwen. Li Congwen wanted to send her home, but she refused, she couldn't stop at the entrance of the village, and kept watching Li Yuqing's back disappear before waving the bullwhip again and speeding home.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Congwen had already gone to the town to report to school. That day, the village chief drove an ox cart to pull Li Congwen's daily necessities and went to the town early. Zhu stood at the door and watched them, tears in his eyes.
Walking in the village, I met the name of the village and greeted him one after another, and when I heard that Li Congwen went to school in the town, I was very envious, and called Li Congwen promising, and the village chief would enjoy happiness in the future.
Whether it was sincere praise or false affection, the village chief was very happy to hear it. grinning and smirking all the way, Li Congwen was very helpless, and he was embarrassed to say that he was his father after all.
Li Yuqing stayed in bed at home for a few more days, thought about the potatoes in the cellar, and counted the days, and it was time for this year's potatoes to raise seedlings. Qianzhou is a place where the seasons are like spring, so there is no need to worry about the potatoes freezing to death in the ground in winter.
Thinking of this, Li Yuqing also remembered that if you want to plant on a large scale, you need a lot of land, but you can't do it on your own. If you want to buy land, the silver taels are not enough. When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly remembered that the village only grows wheat and sorghum a year, and they don't grow rice like the north because the yield is small and rice is too expensive.
At this time, the sorghum has been harvested and the wheat has not yet been sown, and the fields are now empty, so Li Yuqing thought of a good solution. A carp rolled up from the bed, quickly dressed, went out to wash up and went straight to the village chief's house without breakfast.
It's not that Li Yuqing is anxious, but she got up too late, and now most of the families have gone out for a stroll after breakfast, so Li Yuqing will go straight to the village chief's house to discuss things with him.
Ran all the way to the village chief's house, on the way to meet the people in the village who had eaten and eaten, only to say hello from a distance and did not stop, ran to the door of the village chief's house, found that the door was open, Li Yuqing called a few times outside, Zhu heard the movement and walked out, wiped his hand on the apron he was wearing anyway, and estimated that he was cleaning up the stove or something.
Seeing Li Yuqing, she suddenly laughed into a chrysanthemum, and Li Yuqing, who looked at it with that expression, had goosebumps, "Why is Yuqing here, have you eaten, come into the house and didn't eat, my aunt will give you steamed eggs to eat." ”
Experiencing Li Congwen's going to school in the town, not to mention that Li Congwen is praised by people in the same village every day, just say that the village chief is more prestigious in the village, and you don't want to think about who has the ability to let his son go to school in the town, (Of course, others don't know that everything is paid by Li Yuqing, and Li Yuqing will not say it stupidly.) Don't say how much it costs, just say that you don't have that kind of knowledge and have money, so it can be seen that Li Congwen has that ability.
Seeing Zhu's flattering expression, Li Yuqing took a step back and couldn't bear it a little unbearable, and hurriedly replied, "Auntie, come here, I'll come to discuss something with the village chief."
Originally, I was a little unhappy to see Li Yuqing's evasive expression, but as soon as I heard that I came to discuss things with my man, I immediately came back to life with full blood, "Your uncle went out for a walk after eating, Yuqing, you go into the house first, and I will go out immediately to help you find it." ”
In the past few days, the village chief has gone out for a walk after eating, because he can praise him when he meets people, and he has heard more good words in the past few days than he has heard in his life, so he is tired of it.
Originally, Li Yuqing didn't want to wait, but as soon as she thought of potatoes, she followed Zhu into the house. After entering the house, Zhu found a porcelain bowl and poured a bowl of herbal tea for Li Yuqing, said a few words and went out to find the village chief with a smile on his face.
Li Yuqing looked at Zhu's cheerful face, and felt very helpless when she walked, and the croppers could be happy like this with such a small achievement, which was really satisfying. But this is also the cute side of the Zhuang family, which is better than the insatiable one.
