Chapter Twenty-Three: Dabao Wants to Read (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Lin He looked at his brother, and he was also a little worried, fortunately, although Dabao is not the most smart person, but he is practical and capable, and he can endure hardships, such a person is the most reliable, and over time, he should still have something to do.
At this time in ancient times, a woman's fate was completely tied to a man, when she was in her mother's house, she had to rely on her father and brother to be able to hold up a piece of the sky, so when she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, she would be looked down upon.
Although Lin He, a modern person, does not agree with this idea, he still has to follow the local customs when he comes to this place, and now he is not so much thinking about having a better life at home, but also planning for himself.
Back at home, Lin He and Dabao told Erniu and Huang about Boss Wen asking them to open a store, and Erniu and Huang were also very much in favor of this matter, but they felt that their children were still young, and they didn't know what kind of person Boss Wen was and whether he would have any other ideas.
Lin He asked them to rest assured that "Boss Wen is a businessman, the most important thing for him is whether this business is profitable, and besides, our cooperation with him is beneficial and harmless, although Boss Wen is a businessman's shrewdness, but it looks good, we have dealt with him a few times, people are shrewd, but there is no bad intentions, and people are also upright." Besides, the thing is in my head, take a step back, even if Boss Wen has any other plans, it's a big deal that we won't provide him with a puppet, and we won't have any big losses. Er Niu and Huang also felt that Lin He's statement was indeed reasonable.
Lin He went on to say, "Daddy, I plan to launch a few new toy dolls every month in the future, and I will no longer come forward, let my brother contact Boss Wen, of course, I still go with my eldest brother to prepare for the opening of the store, and when the store is opened, I won't go, just look at the account at the end of each month, and let my brother do these things, I think if I let my brother go to school, now no one at home will read the account, Boss Wen just take an account book and we can't understand it, Yesterday, I just said that, although I don't care about the things in the store, but I still have to read the account book myself. ”
Erniu nodded, it is true, they couldn't eat enough when they were young, where did they go to any school, they didn't know a lot of words, and now it's good that Dabao can go to study.
Huang said, "Go to school, that's very valuable, a month a gentleman's Shu Xiu plus pen, ink, paper and inkstone money costs one tael of silver, a year costs twelve taels, and usually to send some things to Mr. or something, but the cost is very much." ”
Lin He knew that the Huang family was used to the kind of poor life before, and it was normal for him to not be able to jump out all of a sudden, the cost of one or two silver a month was indeed very high, and Lin He had not spoken yet,
Here Lin Erniu stood up and said, "Let Dabao go to the school to study, you can still earn money after the silver is gone, but reading is still important, not to mention that the family can still afford it now, even if you lack money, you have to let Dabao go, before my father had no ability, now the family conditions are better, and it is always good for Dabao to know more words." Besides, the family will always get better and better in the future, and you can also help Erya in the future, not only Dabao, but even Xiaobao will be sent to the school in two years. ”
Lin He couldn't help but look at this father differently, he didn't expect his father's vision to be so long-term, and his thoughts coincided with Lin He's.
After a while, Lin Erniu continued, "But it's winter now, and there are no students in the school, so if you want it, you have to wait until the spring of next year, but what can I do?" ”
Lin He thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you invite a gentleman to teach in your own home, the left and right is to spend more silver, so that the children at home can come to listen together, like Xiaojun, Xiaoshan them, me and Sanya can also learn, it is not a loss, it is a few months of time, and when the spring begins, the school recruits students, and we will send the eldest brother in, please Mr. When you talk about it first, when it comes to the beginning of spring, there will be about four months, Dad, do you think this is good?" ”
Erniu also thought about it, calculated the account, it is okay to invite a gentleman to teach at home, so many children, it is also a good thing that Xiaojun Xiaoshan can read, especially Xiaoshan, a child, how to say that he is also his own nephew.
The third child of his family is gone, and the Zhou family has no money to send him to the school, and it is good to learn some words for a few months, but this is to invite Mr. back, the cost must be more, just Shu Xiu is afraid that it will cost four taels of silver a month, as well as Mr.'s food and accommodation, all the expenses that have come over add up to at least twenty taels of silver for a few months.
The last time the family finished building a house, finishing the banquet, plus the cost of buying some things, there are still more than 100 taels of silver left, the second girl's side, Boss Wen is preparing to open a store, and it must cost to open a store, although it is said that Boss Wen pays the funds, but in the end he still has to bear some expenses, and he can't make money even if he owns it, and he spends money even if it is someone else's, so in addition to buying a store, the store also has to be decorated, and if these expenses are deducted, I am afraid that there is not much income in winter.
When the family arrives at the beginning of spring, to buy some farm tools or something, it also needs some silver taels, Erniu thought about it, and finally agreed to Lin He said that he wanted to invite Mr. back to this proposal, before the family did not have any surplus grain, the family every year is much more difficult than now, or still come.
Now the family has everything, it is a good thing for this child to study, spend more money, there is nothing, the family now has their own land, even if all the money is not left, there is no need to worry, there will be rations for the family next year.
Lin Erniu agreed, go out tomorrow to have a look, go outside and ask a gentleman to come back, let the Huang family arrange the house at home, the house at home is there, Xiaobao's house has not been touched much, Xiaobao is still too young, he is not willing to sleep alone, at night he either runs to Lin He's house to sleep with Sanya, or sleeps with Dabao, occasionally his father and mother sleep together, the house just need to vacate Xiaobao's clothes and some things he usually plays with Dabao's house, You don't need to move it or anything, you can use it.
Lin He also thought about the question of this silver coin, there was nothing to do in winter, and naturally there was no income, and now there were all items of silver money to be paid.
Over there in the puppet shop, although it is funded by Boss Wen, after all, after making money, he also has money, and he can't pay the money, so he lets others out, and when it comes to the money, he has to follow the money with peace of mind, which is always a bit unreasonable.
