Chapter 8 Li Zhoule's decision
"You started learning "Kindergarten Qionglin"?" Wen Ziyu saw the book on the desk and asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"yes. I have been abandoned for some time and have not been studying, but since yesterday, my sister has let me continue to study. She hoped that after the resumption of the imperial examination, I would be able to be admitted to Xiucai. Li Yishu said.
Wen Ziyu said enviously and helplessly: "I'm not as good as you, and now I only learn "Sound Rhyme Enlightenment". β
Li Yishu patted him on the shoulder and said understandingly: "You have to help Brother Wen find wild vegetables and collect firewood every day, how can you have time to study?" β
Wen Ziyu snorted from his nose, complaining in his heart that he was too young to help his eldest brother share the burden, if he was older, he would be able to work in the city like everyone else, even if he couldn't make money, he could let his eldest brother bear less food for one person, so that he would not faint from hunger.
Li Yishu pulled him and Wen Zijue to the table and sat down: "I have a little free today, let's read together." After replying to the imperial examination, we went to take the county examination together. β
Li Zhoule finished feeding all the bowls of porridge, and Wen Zixia fully recovered--there was no serious illness, just hungry--he wanted to get up and continue the previous arrangement, but was stopped by Li Zhoule.
"You're still weak, what are you going to do? What's more, the villagers walked for a while, and found that they had already divided up something, and you couldn't even find a hair when you went. β
Wen Zixia thought that Li Zhoule was right, but there was nothing to eat at home, and if he didn't look for it, his two younger brothers would starve.
Li Zhoule understood his thoughts, and said softly: "My family still has some grain in stock, and you have eaten at my house in the past two days." β
Wen Zixia hurriedly said, "How can it be done?" Ziyu Zijue and I ate your family's stored grain, and you and Yi Shu will not have enough to eat. β
Li Zhoule said: "You don't have to worry, I have a way to solve our eating problem." β
Wen Zixia said: "What can you do?" β
Li Zhoule: "Wait a minute, I'll show you something." β
Li Zhoule walked out of the room, took a deep breath, strengthened the heart of the decision he had just made, and quickly returned to his room, found the transparent bottle, returned to Li Weifeng's room, and handed the bottle to Wen Zixia.
"This is Ruri?" Wen Zixia was surprised, "No, the glass is not so light and thin, so crystal clear!" Zhou Le, what kind of bottle is this? β
Wen Zixia has seen a lot of things in the past few years after studying with Father Li, but she didn't recognize what kind of material such a light bottle was made of, but she only felt that it was very extraordinary-ahaha, isn't it plastic? Worthless, worthless!
"I don't know. This is what I found in my mother's dowry. Li Zhoule said, "You said that I took this bottle as a bottle, how much can I use?" β
Wen Zixia was surprised: "Are you going to take the bottle as one?" This bottle is so precious, are you willing to do it? β
It can be used as a family heirloom, and his fiancΓ©e wants to use it as a pawn? Wen Zixia was moved, he knew that what prompted Li Zhoule to make the decision was his fainting today.
"Zhou Le, you don't have to be like this. This bottle is so precious, it is the thought left by Shi Niang to you and Yi Shu, you should keep it well. β
"No matter how precious it is, no human life is precious." Li Zhoule said, "I'm not all for you, and Yi Shu and me, we also have to eat!" Two days ago, when Yi Shu didn't go to town, I was also hungry and sick, and I almost went like this. Also, Aunt Mancang's grandson Xiaoxia was sick, and Aunt Mancang ran all over the village to make him a mouthful of porridge to drink, and did not borrow a little rice. I think that by selling this bottle, we can all exchange for some food, and we can also help the villagers, at least so that everyone can survive this winter and no one will starve to death. β
Wen Zixia was silent for a while when she heard this, and arched her hand to Li Zhoule: "Zhou Le is worthy of being the daughter of Mr., and she has the demeanor of a gentleman's benevolent person." On behalf of the whole village, thank you. β
Li's father was a well-known philanthropist when he was alive, so after their death, the people in the village took care of the two Li family siblings so much, because they were all taken care of by Mr. Li.
Li Zhoule turned sideways to avoid this salute and said, "Why do you need to see the outside like this? If you really feel sorry for it, just wait for you to get better and accompany me to the county seat. I'm a woman who can't come forward, so you can help me pawn this bottle. β
Wen Zixia nodded: "Okay." β
Li Zhoule looked at the bottle and said expectantly: "How much do you say this bottle can be sold for?" Can it be sold for a hundred taels? β
Wen Zixia said: "It's hard to say. It is not a problem for such a large glass bottle to sell for a few hundred taels, and this bottle is lighter and more thorough than the glass, and it may be able to sell for a thousand taels. But we are only relatively remote small towns around, and no one knows this material, and it may only sell for one or two hundred taels. β
Li Zhoule smiled: "Even one hundred taels is a lot of money." When the time comes, we will use 100 million dollars to buy food, which will be enough for our whole village to eat for one winter. β
Wen Zixia also smiled: "Save the rest of the money for Yi Shu, and he won't have to worry about marrying a wife and conducting scientific examinations in the future." β
Li Zhoule put away the plastic bottle with a smile and said to Wen Zixia: "Your eyes are blue and black, you haven't slept well for a long time, right?" Take a good rest, and I'll call you again when dinner is in the evening. β
Wen Zixia was no longer worried about the food, her mood was relieved, she felt her eyelids heavy, and she didn't brace herself, but said, "Please help me take care of Yu and Zijue." β
Li Zhoule naturally responded, but the two children were too sensible to take care of her, and read and practiced calligraphy with Li Yishu - there was no paper mill, and they used willow branches to write on the table after the flood - Li Zhoule went back to the room to continue embroidery, and the day passed like this. When the sun sets, Li Zhoule puts down his needlework and goes into the kitchen to prepare dinner - the ancients only ate two meals a day.
Half of the rice is divided and put into the pot, then put in the corn ballast, add water to boil, wait until it is almost ready, cut the eggplant skin and celery leaves into the porridge, add a little salt, and a pot of fragrant vegetable porridge is ready. It doesn't have the delicious fish taste of modern porridge, but for those who can't even eat rice, it's already delicious.
Wen Zixia also got up, ate a full meal and slept well, his body recovered most of it, and followed the three boys to sit at the table. Li Zhoule served a big bowl of porridge to everyone, and everyone puffed up their little bellies before they could drink it, and they were very satisfied. She put the rest of the porridge in a large bowl and put it in a basket, so that Wen Zixia could take it home as breakfast for the three brothers tomorrow morning.
"My body will be all right tomorrow, and I will deserve you to go to the county seat." Wen Zixia said to Li Zhoule before leaving.
When Li Yishu heard this, he immediately said, "I'm going too." β
Li Zhoule glanced at the two Wen brothers who were full of longing, and said softly: "Ziyu and Zijue also go, let's go together." β
Wen Ziyu and Wen Zijue immediately laughed, just like Li Yishu, smiling like three spring flowers.

The decoration company has entered the site for decoration, Han Nuo went home after turning around the scene, and there was nothing for her for a period of time after that, she stayed at home all day to code words, ten chapters in a row, "Crossing Ji Xiaofu" is coming to an end. Lunch and dinner are still made by Han's mother, the cleaning of the house is regularly cleaned by part-time workers, and there is a fully automatic washing machine for washing clothes. Han Nuo had nothing to do, so he simply cleaned up the refrigerator. This is a more laborious job, the Han family's refrigerator has been around for some years, and there are several thick layers of ice in the freezer, and sometimes it will be greatly hindered when opening the box inside.
Han Nuo sat in front of the refrigerator with a small bench, using a knife to pry the ice cubes that had condensed inside the refrigerator little by little, and after a while, his hands were tired and painful.
"Mom, let's buy a new refrigerator!" Han Nuo felt that his refrigerator should be retired.
Han's mother gave her a blank look: "I know that you have money, but you can't be too big." The fridge still works, buy something new. β
"Does this work?" Han Nuo raised his hand holding the knife, "Look, it's all red!" β
"This ......" Han's mother saw her daughter's hand, a little distressed, and a little shaken.
Han Nuo took advantage of the victory and said: "When I went to see the freezer two days ago, I took a look at the price of the refrigerator, and it was quite cheap, at least six or seven hundred can buy a two-door refrigerator similar to ours, and the three-door refrigerator is only a little more than a thousand." β
Han's mother frowned and considered: "Cheap is not good." β
Han Nuo said: "They are all brand goods, Midea and Haier, how many years old brands." β
Han Ma said: "How much do these two brands cost?" I'm talking about three-door openings. β
Han Nuo recalled, "Haier's special price, the original price is more than 2,000, and the current price is 1,699, computer temperature control, energy saving and environmental protection." The beauty is also more than 2,000, and the current price is 1,299, but it is a mechanical temperature control, which is not as flexible as Haier. We might as well buy Haier, no more than a few hundred dollars. β
Han's mother thought for a while and compared the price ratio: "Okay, let me tell your father, the money to buy the refrigerator will be paid by the two of us, so you don't need to take the money." β
"Oh." Han Nuo responded. If you don't take it, don't take it, I originally wanted to honor my parents, but her parents were considerate of her, and she would not refuse her parents' kindness.
Han's mother took out the noodles, put them in cold water to cool down quickly, and then put the bean sprouts in the pot and rolled them out. Eating cold noodles at night and drinking mung bean soup is Han Nuo's favorite.
Finally scraped off a layer of ice, and the small box that had been frozen and couldn't be opened was finally pulled, and Han Nuo took out a bag of rice balls from it and threw it directly into the trash.
Han's mother sighed: "Why did you lose it?" β
"I can't eat it, so why do I want to sit there?"
"It's not until the expiration date, so it should still be edible." Han's mother can't see her daughter's waste the most.
Han Nuo rolled his eyes: "If you have been in the refrigerator for so long, who knows if there is an expiration date." And I've lost everything, and you're going to pick it up? β
Han's mother: "...... You ruined girl! β
