Chapter 26: Practicing Frugality
The second more
Li Ping and Zeng Fan slowly walked back to the main hall to eat together, they were family, so they didn't want to eat outside. As before www.biquge.info, they set up a big table in their hall and ate together as a family.
"It's like it's really long to walk through the two-way corridor." Li Ping took Zeng Fan's hand and looked at him, "Did I talk too much yesterday, and you thought too much." ”
"No, I'll do it well, just like an exam, no matter what, I always have to prepare well first. I'll try! Zeng Fan smiled.
"Thank you, yes, very good. We try to be ready, ready to work hard. Li Ping smiled and clenched his hand, she knew that Zeng Fan was not that impulsive person, and she was really scared to death when she said that his article was out of place yesterday. The anachronism of the reader is sometimes really harmful. Even if no one taught, the books she read were full of lessons.
Of course, she knew that Zeng Fan wanted to be a Qing official, study science, and take the road of a saint. But learning from Zhu Xi's hypocrite, although she said that she was disdainful, she was not as scared as last night. is really like that Lord Lin, maybe he can really leave a name in history, but maybe it is also infamy, who can really bear this, not to mention, it will also affect his wife and children now.
Now hearing Zeng Fan say this, she is really relieved, she is not talking about the homeless people, not to put the responsibility on Lord Lin, after all, before Lord Lin did those things, the homeless people had already appeared. It's just that after that incident, the court lost the war all of a sudden, and after carrying a heavy New Year's coin, all the pressure could only be transferred to the common people, especially where the chaos occurred in the south, and it was the first to bear the brunt of the impact.
Therefore, the people in those places may have praised Lord Lin's righteousness and awe-inspiring at the time, but afterwards, they may scold him for being impulsive. Although she admired him, she did not want her husband to be that impulsive.
"The eldest brother is really, he still has to study in the morning, let the sister-in-law find it." Koyanagi happened to come out with the food, and when he saw the couple coming in hand in hand, he was a little envious.
"Yes, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep, and I don't want to disturb her, but I still take her so far to find me." Zeng Fan still looked good-tempered, sat in his place, and his breakfast was the same as usual, a very simple sweet potato porridge, with an omelette for one person. There are also some boiled dried shreds from the south, which Li Ping likes, saying that this porridge is very good, and there are two or three side dishes.
"Because you said yesterday that you want to be frugal, my brother and sister didn't even dare to make meat this morning." Li Ping looked at the dining table and really felt that this was too much, and their family was not so frugal.
"It's still frugal, although it's not that you can't afford it, but you should live a life that you can afford. Third, you can look at my official life in the future, and you will know why I am starting to be frugal now. Zeng Fan smiled and gave Li Ping's an egg.
"Is it because the income is very low?" Koyanagi looked at Li Ping.
"Look at it, and you'll know when you see it. When you become an official, you know that your tuition fees are floating clouds. Li Ping smiled, put an egg between Xiaoliu, and sighed lightly.
Koyanagi opened his mouth and looked at her husband, why did they work so hard for the exam?
Brother Hao shrugged his shoulders, "Sister, didn't you ask me to pay for the meal?" ”
"Forget it, my father didn't ask your father to collect food money back then, so I'm a little embarrassed." Li Ping deliberately smirked.
"My dad gives twenty taels a year?" Brother Hao knows that everyone is very nervous now, and the second sister is asking everyone to relax and be happy, make fun of themselves, and be busy making fun.
"That's for the clan, not for my father, so that's not your food money." Li Ping hasn't lost a quarrel in all these years!
"Sister, I beg you, charge me some money for dinner, and give me some buns for breakfast." Brother Hao pretended to cry.
"No, you lost weight so easily, I decided to help Xiaoxi lose weight now." Li Ping looked at the chubby girl.
The little chubby girl likes to eat eggs and is eating, and now she hears the old lady mention her, so she hurriedly looks up and looks at the old lady, and it is her own business.
"You eat yours." Zeng Fan hurriedly said to his daughter.
The little chubby girl has a big heart, and she is busy and lowers her head to concentrate on eating eggs.
"So her weight has nothing to do with what she eats, and so do I." Brother Hao spread his hands.
"Do you want to ask your brother-in-law to give you homework?" Li Ping smirked again.
Brother Hao lowered his head and drank a big mouthful of porridge, without saying a word, and everyone laughed together.
"That, Brother Hao is a child, and he can't eat anything, but we are a family, and the Xiaoyanagi family has also made money, so we should share some housework." Zeng Yi swallowed a mouthful of porridge, he didn't think there was anything wrong with today's breakfast. He had suffered hardships, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this breakfast, but he felt that he couldn't let the eldest brother raise them.
"Well, don't worry, don't worry, I'll ask you to count." Li Ping really didn't say anything polite to them, "In the old house before, many things weren't on the right track, but now that I've figured it out, I'll really settle it with you." Because what your eldest brother has always touched me is that he is really working hard. Study hard and work hard to support your family. You're still lacking! ”
"Yes!" Zeng Yi actually knew that he was still not clear enough, and he was not sure what was clear, and what Li Ping wanted at this time was his certainty. Asking for living expenses is only a means, not a necessity.
"Mother, can I skip school today?" The little monkey has finished drinking the porridge, and he likes to go to school very much, which was created by following Li Xiucai since he was a child. The current master is also very good, so I don't need to be urged to go to school every day. And today, no one let him go to school, everyone sat in the same place and chatted slowly, he was in a hurry.
"Oh, I almost forgot about you, Lilac, and let Huang send him there." Li Ping really forgot about this, and said to Lilac busily.
Huang Jun was also about to leave, and when he heard this, he hurriedly picked up the little monkey and followed Zeng Fan and them to leave.
"Grandma too, let my brother rest for a day, so I can listen to the newspaper and talk about it." Lilac didn't plan to let the little monkey go, otherwise, they wouldn't have chatted like this, so they wouldn't have prompted.
"What does this have to do with him, he doesn't dare to make him feel that no matter what is the matter, he can not go to school. Uncle himself has a fever and goes to school, and he never dares to slack off. Li Ping didn't think there was any reason why the little monkey could not go to school.
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm going to school." Zeng Yi hurriedly stood up.
Brother Hao looked left and right, hurriedly poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth, took a large mouthful of dried silk, stuffed it into his mouth, didn't speak, could only wave his hand with everyone, and then followed Zeng Yi out.
"Actually, I can take a leave of absence today." Zeng Fan wiped his mouth, he was also very nervous in school today, Hu Liang was destined to be in the top ten, which is very important to the school, but I am afraid that no one will pay attention to today's teaching.
"That's a matter of school, and we can't let them learn to find reasons to take time off." Li Ping waved his hand and saw that they were far away, before saying, "Of course, the main thing is that they are making trouble at home, and they can't help much." ”
Leidewen said
I got up early in the morning to clean up the bookcase in the study bedroom, the bookcase here is small, and the books I bought this year are already too much to read, so I decided to clean it up and see if I can put more into it. Of course, it looks better, and then I take the book bag and fill the book, and by the way, I flip through it again, and then I obviously read the book, but I don't seem to have read it, so I sit there and read it again. So I don't like to pack up books, I always pack up halfway and go to read. Fortunately, I cleaned up without eating, and all of a sudden, I had low blood sugar, and I broke out in a cold sweat, so I quickly lay down, ate a few dried guiyuan, and now that the books were cleaned up, I took a few more books and put them at the head of the bed.
