Chapter 012 Knocking
Zhang entered the hall and saw Qiaolan holding a book for Qingyuan Qinggang to read, and there were several books next to her, she was startled, although she didn't know how to read, she also knew that books were very expensive things, if it weren't for the eldest and second child who could read and write, she couldn't marry into the Li family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In terms of conditions, the Zhang family is stronger than the Li family, and the land alone is 20 acres more than the Li family. But his father and mother were the first to choose Li Xuewen, one is that the Li family has a good family style, and the early division of the family is also fair, and there are no dirty disputes between uncles; The second is that his fathers all know how to read, this is a great thing, if you know how to read, you will have insight, and you will not be fooled easily, and her father recognized this one.
Zhang touched the book and was surprised in his heart, and his face also brought it out, "Qiaolan, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this." Besides, how can you pay for it? Your brother and I can still do it, and I'll give you this money later. After speaking, I was more determined in my heart, and I also felt that this sister-in-law was a little reckless, but her heart was really good.
Qiao Lan raised her head and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were bright and beautiful, "Sister-in-law, this is my birthday gift to Qingyuan, Qingyuan will be six years old next month, why don't I send something as an aunt?" Bite? Treat me like an outsider? If I haven't married yet, won't you want to see me? In the end, he deliberately said that he was a little aggrieved.
Zhang hurriedly waved his hand, "What kind of words are these!" There is absolutely no thing, but when this child is still young, I want to send him to school, but I want to ...... when he is a little older in a few years and the family situation is better. ”
"Sister-in-law, then you are wrong, you have to learn a little bit when you go to school, and then go to school when you are older, not to mention that you will not be able to, you are also very embarrassed to go at this age, everyone is a little bean ding, our family is about to catch up with half of the adults, other people's young children will know something, your child is so old that he can't do anything, and then be laughed at a few words, can the child stand it? That's not going to be a rush. What's the point of going to school? It'......s better for me to teach, go to the school to spend money for scientific examinations and learn skills, and if you can't pass the exam, you can go to an account room or learn a craft like my second brother. ”
I didn't say the rest, but I believe that with Zhang's intelligence, he should be able to understand this truth.
Zhang's heart struggled when she read these books, she didn't understand this reason, but this money is not something that anyone can spend.
Mrs. Li came in, and just heard them talking, followed by Qiaolan's eldest brother Li Xuewen.
Mrs. Li beckoned to Qingyuan, Qingyuan hurriedly ran over, his mother's face was so serious just now that she was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything.
"Grandma." Qingyuan leaned on Mrs. Li's arms, pouting a little aggrieved.
"Tell grandma, do you want to study?" Mrs. Li sat in the recliner and swayed leisurely, hugging her grandson with a comfortable face.
"I think, I want to study, and I want to be a capable person like my second uncle." Qingyuan replied loudly with a stiff neck, as if he couldn't express his desire to read.
"Did you husband and wife hear that?" Mrs. Li opened her slightly closed eyes and looked at them with a majestic face.
"Yes." Xuewen pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and responded, it's a big deal to do more by yourself, and you can always save more by saving more.
"At that time, there were only ten acres of land at home, and your father and I were stunned by our two hands to let a few of you all read and read and read, and now the situation is getting better and better, don't tell me that you can't afford a student, our old Li family doesn't have such a lazy man and lazy woman, just trying to enjoy people who don't work." Mrs. Li's expression was very serious and serious, and her eyes were so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
"Yes, when I send my child to study in the school next year, my sister still has the right idea in her heart, my brother knows that you love the child, and I won't be polite to you about the money for this book, but I will pay for the school by myself." Xuewen wiped his face, made up his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Cheng, I can still stop the child if he wants to go up, I am my mother, can I not hope for the child? Sister, sister-in-law, thank you for waking me up, I almost delayed the child! Zhang wiped away his tears.
"Qingyuan, this book is a total of five taels of silver, which is the leftover of our family's rations for a year, and this year can make the whole family eat meat, it's not easy to come by! Your father and mother work hard every day, and your aunt does embroidery work in the house every day, do you see this hard work? Mrs. Li hugged Qingyuan and Qinggang and said earnestly.
"See, my aunt doesn't go out all day and embroiders in the house, I won't give up halfway and will study hard. I know how hard my father and aunt worked for me, and my aunt broke her head for me. Qingyuan lowered his head, a little scared, but still bravely expressed his thoughts.
"Well, it's good that you understand this, you can study well in a year, and you will be sent to the school in the spring next year, and it depends on your own what you can read. Your aunt pays five taels of silver to the family every month, and this silver is for you to study, otherwise your aunt is not married or the Li family, and there is no reason to pay for food, do you understand? ”
"I know, I won't let you down, I'll study hard." Qingyuan looked back at everyone, and then nodded heavily.
"Then I see you act, if you don't study well and spoil the family's mind, you don't have to study anymore in the future, there is only one chance."
Mrs. Li closed her eyes again.
Saying these words to teach children is true, and it is more about reminding the eldest couple not to be the ungrateful greedy and ignorant people, Qiaolan does not owe them.
How could Zhang not understand this voice, naturally she beat herself mostly, but she didn't have any grievances, her sister-in-law did do a lot for the family, and she couldn't be grateful.
"It's all a family, don't say kind words, Qingyuan Qinggang, get up early in the morning to read the words with me for an hour, and play five poultry plays to exercise, you can't fall behind, understand?"
"Got it."
"Let my sister suffer, Qingyuan Qinggang has to study hard, don't be trick-or-treating, otherwise don't blame me for slapping you." Zhang's eyes widened and he immediately warned his two sons.
"Got it."
"Sister, take a break, I'll go cook for a while." Zhang was a little excited, turned around and went out to the kitchen.
"I'm going to cut some pigweed and get some firewood." Xuewen sullenly sighed and went out.
"Let's go out too." Qiao Lan patted the heads of her two little nephews and smiled.
"Oh, it's out and playing!" The two children scrambled to run.
"Grandma, I sold an extra hundred taels of silver today, and the old man of the Li family likes the picture of rich flowers very much, saying that my longevity picture is good, and it is estimated that it is counted as a piece." Qiaolan didn't hide it from Mrs. Li.
"Well, this price is not high, your things are worth thousands of taels if they are placed in a big place, but we are a small place, and we can't sell them at a price. Forget it, it's useless to say this, you keep it, don't spend it indiscriminately, and in the future, I will fill in some land for you before getting married, and it is also a guarantee to keep it for yourself. ”
"Well, I listen to grandma, our family's life will definitely get better and better." Qiao Lan is full of confidence in her future life.
