Chapter 23: Bouquet of Flowers
Yu Qiao looked at Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan, in this feudal era, it was not recognized for women to go to private schools or schools to study, only men could study and take the imperial examination in a bright and bright way!
Thinking about it, she asked the two: "Brother, Brother Nanzi, do you want to go to the private school in Zhaojia Village next door to study?" ”
"I don't want to, but I don't have that much money at home. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" After Yu Qingnan finished speaking, his eyes dimmed.
Yu Qiao looked at him with a regretful look on his face, turned his eyes, and looked at Yu Fenghao sitting beside him, Yu Fenghao did not answer, but when he lowered his eyes, the fleeting yearning in his eyes made Yu Qiao, who happened to be looking at him, capture it clearly.
In this way, she has the bottom in her heart, but she has not made any promises, and now the money she makes is too small, which is not enough for them to pay for repairs and buy books to read. Only when you make enough money can you think about how to arrange the most suitable arrangement.
When I returned to the village, it was past noon.
They went to Yu Qingnan's brother and sister first.
Sitting at the dining table in the hall, Yu Qiao took out the three thousand and twenty-five wen he earned this morning from his arms.
Looking at the few hangs of money coiled like snakes on the table, Yu Qiao first divided them into two, and finally took out an extra hundred Wen, and pushed the extra pile directly to Yu Qingnan's brothers and sisters.
"It's divided!" Yu Qiaole said diligently.
"Qiao'er, in the future, we will divide the money in the future, we will still divide it according to the same amount, if you do this again, we will have to not accept it." After Yu Qingnan finished speaking, he stubbornly pushed the money to Yu Qiao's brothers and sisters, and Yu Qin, who was sitting next to him, also nodded firmly.
Yu Qiao was stunned, and she didn't know what to say to persuade for a while, she didn't know how to be sophisticated, she had lived for more than 30 years, and she had worked in the workplace for so many years. It's just that there are two children on the other side who are not sincere, and she really can't open her mouth to say those false polite words.
Embarrassed, she had to look at Yu Fenghao next to her.
Yu Fenghao saw her distressed gaze, and said, "Since Nanzi and Qin'er insist, then you should be half divided." Let's work together every day, do business together, more and less will not get in the way, as long as it is lively. ”
"Yes" Yu Qingnan and Yu Qin nodded approvingly.
Yu Qiao had no choice but to redistribute it again, and the two sides divided half of it, and Yu Qingnan took the lead in picking it up and handed it to Yu Xi.
Yu Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, pouted and blew it to his ears, and when he heard the light buzzing sound, he grinned and laughed, while learning from Yu Qiao to carry the money into his arms.
Yu Xi is only five years old, sometimes sensible and clever, sometimes naughty and ignorant as a child.
After distributing the money, Yu Qiao's brothers and sisters pushed the cart home and put it away. Then Yu Xi resolutely stayed at home, her feet were not good, and it was really not suitable to follow them up the mountain to dig flowers.
It is equivalent to Qiao and Yu Fenghao dragging a tired body, and when they came back with a body of soil, it was almost sunset.
The next day, they went up the mountain again to dig for wild flowers all day, and then buried them in the yard of Yu Qingnan's house.
Yu Qiao didn't tell Yu's family about making money. Yu Qiao also told Yu Fenghao and Yu Xi not to talk about it, because once this money is exposed, it will inevitably be pocketed by the Bi family, and there is no possibility of coming back. Yu Qiao thought that the three brothers and sisters earned their own money, so they decided to use it themselves. Even the Bai family and Yu Chongtian only knew a little bit of the inside story.
Yu Qiao wanted to wait for the time to come, and then be honest with the Bai family and Yu Jianzheng.
Her idea was unanimously agreed by Yu Fenghao and Yu Xi, and even Yu Qingnan and Yu Qin decided not to confess to their families first.
Early that morning, Yu Qiao and Yu Fenghao, who had breakfast, led Yu Xi, who was walking in the middle, and went straight to Yu Qingnan's home.
Today they did not go out with a hoe, because they did not plan to go up the mountain.
The three brothers and sisters walked into the courtyard of Yu Qingnan's house, which was not very large, with all kinds of wild flowers planted on both sides, and they walked on the path left in the middle, as if they were in a sea of flowers.
"Qiao'er, we came back the day before yesterday and forgot to buy a flower pot and came back to plant flowers." Yu Qin said, walking out of the upper room with two scissors in his hand.
Yu Qin's house is also a courtyard house, and the size of the pattern is the same as that of Yu Qiao's house. Because there is no one in the family and the population is not so large, Yu Qin and Yu Qingnan brothers and sisters each live in an upper room, and the rest of the rooms are empty.
"Let's not plant the flowers in pots this time, just roll them up with paper and sell them." The single bouquet was conceived by Yu Qiao a few days ago, but it has not been practiced because there is no colored paper. It wasn't until she got those colored rice papers a few days ago that she planned to find some time to practice.
As soon as they heard her proposal, although Yu Fenghao and the others didn't understand how the flowers were rolled up on paper, they had almost no objections to the few people who were full of confidence in overseas Chinese, and were even full of expectations.
As soon as they said it, Yu Qingnan and Yu Fenghao immediately moved a long table in the hall to the middle of the courtyard, and then Yu Qin and Yu Qiao put the paper on the table according to the color.
Just when Yu Qiao was holding scissors in one hand and a piece of rice paper in the other, and was about to give a demonstration to Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan, who were in charge of paper-cutting, the courtyard door of Yu Qin's house was suddenly knocked.
Everyone was shocked and immediately looked at each other in surprise.
Listening to the increasingly anxious knock on the door, Yu Qiao looked at the rice paper scattered on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "First take something to cover the rice paper on the table, and then go open the door." ”
Yu Fenghao looked around, but he didn't find anything suitable, and it was obviously too late to look for it when he entered the house, so he had to take off his robe and cover most of the tabletop. Seeing this, Yu Qingnan also hurriedly took off the robe he was wearing, their robe was very large, and it was easy to cover the entire table tightly.
But in this way, two teenagers about ten years old stood in the courtyard wearing only a single coat.
Fortunately, the weather was hot and less abrupt.
Although the defense of men and women was more serious in ancient times, in the countryside, only boys and girls of marriageable age would avoid suspicion. Generally, young boys and girls play together, and adults do not pay attention to them.
Yu Qin was a little at a loss by the sudden and rigorous atmosphere, and at the suggestion of Yu Qiao, she went to open the door with a nervous face, and when she saw someone coming, she turned to relax and asked with a smile: "Auntie is here to find Qiao'er." ”
"Hmm" Bai Shi nodded, and replied with the same smile: "I don't see them during the day, I said that I came to your house to play, so I came over to take a look." ”
Yu Qin let Bai in, and when Bai saw the flowers in the yard, she believed in Yu Qiao's brother and sister that they were digging wild flowers in the mountains, but as soon as she saw Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan standing with the girls in only single clothes, she asked curiously: "Why do you two put your clothes on the table?" Put it on, don't catch a cold. With that, she walked over and picked up the corner of Yu Fenghao's robe, wanting to lift it up and put it on him.
"Mother, I'm not cold, it's weirdly hot this day." Yu Fenghao hurriedly pressed the corner of the clothes pinched by the Bai family, and shook his head again and again.
"Wear it even if it's not hot, you don't look like this." Bai still went to lift his clothes.
Seeing that Bai Shi lifted the corner of his clothes, and he could see the rice paper inside clearly in the next moment, Yu Qiao hurriedly rushed over with an arrow step, and after pressing Bai's hand down again with both hands, Fang said with a smile on his face: "Mother, on such a big day, Dad should be thirsty, don't you go and bring him some tea?" ”
"Your father just got off the ground, and he's not so thirsty." Bai Shi was stunned, feeling weird, she shook off Yu Qiao's hands that pressed her tightly with a little force, and then raised her hand to lift her clothes.
"Whoa, whoa" The few pieces of white rice paper clinging to her clothes, with her movements, flew up in the air involuntarily, and then slowly floated to the ground.
