Chapter 796: Decision
The second watch, ask for pink.
**
Lian Man'er's family's attitude today is very tough, and even the old man has already felt something bad. If he and the Zhou family followed Lian Man'er's house at this time, then the unfilial piety of Lian Shouren, Lian Jizu and others in the old mansion would be confirmed.
Lian Shouren, Lian Jizu and Lian Shouyi, two groups of people who returned from Taicang, were able to live a stable life in the thirty-mile camp? is nothing more than the prestige of Lian Shouxin's family in the local area, and the support and service of him and the Zhou family.
If the old couple followed Lian Shouxin to live, it would almost be equivalent to taking away these two barriers. In addition, there is also the supply of Lian Shouxin's family to their old couple, and they will never be sent to the old house again.
The current life of the people in the old mansion is naturally incomparable with the Lian Shouxin family, but in the thirty-mile camp, it is medium, and the real comparison is more than enough. And the old house can maintain this kind of life, which is inseparable from the support given by Lian Shouxin.
If they had followed Lian Shouxin, the old mansion would have lost its backbone and turned into a plate of loose sand. It's really nothing, and the standard of living will definitely fall to the bottom. What's more, let alone living, the old mansion is likely to fall apart. In any case, even the old man can't bear to let the children and grandchildren of the old mansion suffer that kind of suffering, and he can't bear to let the old mansion disperse.
But in the current situation, because of his body, even Shouren and his step-ancestor have been taken short, and if he wants to continue to stay in the old mansion, he can only take out an old man and finally make a move.
The wish, the last wish of a dying old man.
Only this last wish is tolerated by all, and to a large extent not constrained by reason. To put it bluntly, this is the power of an old man's waywardness. However, this wayward power is not unlimited, one, enough.
Listen to what Old Man Lian said. The few people kneeling underground were relieved, and Lian Man'er and the others could only sigh and shake their heads secretly.
However, this result is not unexpected, outsiders may still be a little unclear, but Lian Man'er and Wulang have already been thorough, no matter what time it is, even the old man can't give up Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.
The old couple insisted like this, and even the Man'er family couldn't do anything.
"Step-ancestor, your grandfather will continue to stay here. But I'm still not at ease, so let's say a few words. "Lian Shouxin said to Lian Jizu. He directly skipped Lian Shouren.
"Fourth uncle, don't worry, my lord is here, we will definitely serve the Emperor Xuanhuanglu to read the full text. In the future. Never make my grandfather angry and anxious again. I don't have to worry about anything anymore for my grandfather and my grandmother. My grandpa and my grandma are what they say. "Even the step-ancestor was busy swearing by the curse.
Even Shouren nodded in agreement with him.
"Okay, I'll make a note of that. If something happens to the old man and the old lady, step-grandfather, I'll talk to you. Lian Shouxin nodded.
"Your father's heart for you, if you still have a little heart, you should treat the old man well." After a pause, Lian Shouxin and Lian Jizu. Said meaningfully.
Lian Shouxin instructed Lian Jizu again, asking them to take care of Old Man Lian and the Zhou family carefully. During this period, even the old man and Zhou did not speak.
“…… It's cold on this ground......" After even keeping his promises, even the old man spoke again. This is to intercede for Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.
"What about today. Just make a note for now. In the future, it's okay, and today's matter is over. If it's not good, then even today's incident will be counted. Gorou said again, which made Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu get up.
Lian Shouxin and Wulang asked Li Langzhong to give Old Man Lian a prescription. Li Langzhong said goodbye and left, and then Erya's grandmother also got up to say goodbye. Lian Shouxin sent another person to send the two people home.
While he was about to arrange for someone to go to the town to buy medicine, Lian Shouyi came back from the county seat.
“…… The meal that the eldest sister left us to eat, Shiro has already gone to work, and the shop is in charge of a lunch, and the salary is calculated separately. The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law agreed to let Shiro borrow it. Lian Shouyi told him about going to the county seat.
He didn't even ask too much about his promises, so he got up and said goodbye to Old Man Lian and Zhou.
“…… At the end of the year, there are many things, and tomorrow you have to go far away, and you can only come back before the year. Father and mother take good care of themselves, if there is something missing, they will send someone over to ask the child and his mother. ”
Zhang, Wulang, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi also stepped forward to say a few words, and then they came out of the old mansion.
Back at home, Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi all sat on the kang, and Zhang and Lian Man'er opened the cabinet to prepare things for Lian Shouxin and Wulang to bring when they went out.
Lian Shouxin will go to the ranch to the west tomorrow, and Gorou will go to the county seat. Xiao Qi didn't go anywhere, and stayed at home with Lian Man'er to accompany the Zhang family, and to arrange the New Year.
"We came out just now, and the old man wants to go down to the ground to see us off. My hands and feet are not as nimble as they used to be. Lian Shouxin was silent for a while, and then said.
Everyone nodded, and even the old man's physical condition was getting worse day by day, and everyone found out. That's why they're so angry today.
Lian Man'er doesn't know much about medicine, but she can guess that Lian Man's illness is estimated to be a stroke, and there is a high tendency to have a cerebral hemorrhage. Both of these diseases are the most taboo and emotional. With the character of the old man and the environment of the old house, if you want to take care of these two diseases, no matter how many good doctors and medicines you have, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
But what can be done, even the old man's personality will not change, and he just recognizes the old mansion and refuses to come to them to support the elderly.
“…… It's also a lifetime of hard work, frugality, and nothing good. This year's New Year's gift, let's thicken it. "Even keep your word and say.
Working hard and saving food, at first it was to support Lian Shouren and Lian Ji's grandfather and son to study, but now, even the old man and Zhou are also very frugal and reluctant to spend money. The old couple has kept their promises in the past and after. It is self-evident what they are saving up for.
"Definitely thickened." Lian Man'er agreed, "My mother and I will prepare first, and then you will add and subtract when the time comes." ”
"Okay." Lian Shouxin nodded with satisfaction. Whether it is the Zhang family, even the children of Man'er, in terms of providing for the old man Lian and the Zhou family, they will never be stingy and distressed.
"By the way, Dad, in the past two days, I have come to our house, and there are people who ask us, and there are many people who want to sign up for our school. My brother and I and Xiao Qi have calculated, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to prepare fifty sets of tables and chairs in the spring. Lian Man'er suddenly remembered something, so she said to Lian Shouxin.
"Fifty sets is not enough, then hurry up and tell your third uncle again, and play a few more sets." Even keep your word.
"Dad, that's not a matter of playing a few more sets. Besides, fifty sets of tables and chairs, my three uncles have to work day and night, and there is still a year in this, and people can't rest for two days. My third uncle's body is bones, and I haven't fully recovered yet. Lian Man'er said.
"Then, then find someone else, you can't delay the school." Lian Shouxin thought about it and said.
"That's all it can be." Lian Man'er said.
"I still have to talk to your third uncle about this." Lian Shouxin pondered, "I told him at the beginning, a hundred sets of tables and chairs, all of them will be given to him. ”
"There's no way around it. The affairs of the school can't wait, and I can't let my third uncle fight hard to fight these tables and chairs. Besides, even if he tried hard, he couldn't make so many sets of tables and chairs. Lian Man'er folded the clothes one by one and wrapped them with a bag, and said slowly, "Whenever there is carpentry work in our family, it is my third uncle first." But our family has a lot of work, and he can't be busy alone. It was before, and it will be the same in the future. ”
"My third uncle's family doesn't just refer to our family, and they also have other jobs." Gorou also said.
"My third man is also reasonable. This is something that can't be helped, if he is willing, if our family has a job in the future, it is better to take care of him first. Lian Man'er said again.
"Okay, I'll tell him about it." Lian Shouxin thought about it and felt that it was the same reason, so he nodded.
Lian Man'er's words are true, since the news that they are going to open a school has spread, many people in these ten miles and eight villages have moved their minds, thinking about registering their children in advance, so as not to be unable to enter the school when they get it. And a considerable part of these people do not have the idea of the imperial examination, they have a clear goal, that is, they want to come to the school to study and learn calligraphy, and then learn arithmetic, so that they can get a good job in the family industry in the future.
If you can enter the academy and learn the skills, even if you can't work as an errand in the family's industry, you can find a better errand and earn more money if you go elsewhere.
The Zhao carpenter's family in Zhaojia Village has two boys next to each other, the eldest is twelve years old, and the younger one is ten years old, and they have such thoughts. Carpenter Zhao asked someone to find him, and he was willing to work instead of the two sons' bundles.
Even Man'er also heard that Carpenter Zhao had a good reputation and was quite popular in Zhaojia Village, and the two boys were a little naughty, but their conduct was not bad, so they agreed. happened to have the job of tables and chairs, and Lian Man'er divided thirty sets of tables and chairs for Carpenter Zhao to fight.
Carpenter Zhao wanted to replace the bundle with workmanship, and he said that he didn't need money to play tables and chairs, but Lian Man'er didn't agree. Carpenter Zhao's family has a large population, so he eats by handicraft, and thirty sets of tables and chairs, which are played by Carpenter Zhao and his eldest son, also need time.
In the end, Carpenter Zhao reduced it by two percent according to the market price, and Lian Man'er nodded. It's still a family out of wood, and a part of the wages are paid in advance.
There is also a carpenter surnamed Li in the West Village, and there are also children and nephews who want to enter the school, and they have divided the work of twenty sets of tables and chairs, according to Carpenter Zhao's regulations.
In order not to delay the opening of the school, the housekeeper of the Lian family bought timber and sent it to Xicun and Zhaojia Village. Before Lian Shouxin could go to Lian Shouli, Lian Shouli hurriedly came to the door.
