"Third brother! How did you get back? ”

"Third brother! How did you get back? ”

The people present all looked at Zhuang Zi'an, who walked in.

"Well, why is everyone looking at me like that?"

Zhuang Zi'an looked at everyone a little shyly.

"Third brother, aren't you supposed to be in the academy today, why did you come back?"

The eldest sister looked at the third brother who was going home and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, third brother, why did you come back?"

The sisters and brothers also looked at their brothers suspiciously.

"Well, that's right."

"Isn't this tomorrow a busy farming, the academy is on holiday, and classes will continue after the farming is over. My husband also gave me homework and asked me to review it at home. ”

"So, won't I just come back!"

"I see!"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhuang Zi'an nodded hurriedly.

At this moment, the dealer and his wife came out of the room. Looking at the children who were all there, I was a little surprised.

"Why are they all back?"

"Zi'an, what are you?"

The couple asked, looking at the children.

"Mother, we just came back."

The three sisters replied.

"Dad, mother, the college is on vacation, and my son will come back, and tomorrow is just busy with farming, so I can help with some work."

Zhuang Yi looked at his third son with satisfaction, and felt very happy that the child had not lost himself in the outside world.

Because many scholars who go out of the village often feel high, look down on their families, and go to the fields to do farm work, it is even more impossible.

Zhuang Yi patted his son's shoulder with relief, feeling that it was not wrong to send him to the academy.

"Good!"

"Go and put your bookbasket in the study first!"

That's right, it's the study.

Since the dealer built a new house, he also got a study room in his house, which is a place for his son and daughter to practice calligraphy and read.

Now the study room has gone from just a few simple enlightenment books to a study that is almost full.

Because, Zhuang Yi asked his son to take over the job of copying books from the bookstore, although the money is not much, but every time he copies a book, he will copy an extra copy and put it in the study.

The children took turns copying, one child copied the one for the bookstore, and the other child copied a new book from the book while he was resting, and after copying, he bound it and put it in the study.

Because the children in the family can write, it is not too much trouble to take turns to come down, and there are more and more books at home.

The money for copying books is just enough to cover the pen, ink and paper used by his own book. There is some leftover at the end. If you don't count the artificial, you can get a new book for nothing.

This is the result of the power of numbers.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go to the study and put the book basket away."

After speaking, Zhuang Zi'an walked towards the study.

Inside the study.

Zhuangzi put down the book basket and took out the new books he had obtained in the academy during this time. This is not available in the study. There are seven books in total. Some of them had to be borrowed from classmates, and some of them had to be given by their husbands.

There are exams to be used in it, and some have to be historical biographies.

He put all the new books on a shelf on his desk, where there were new books that had not yet been copied. As long as you put it on it, the brothers and sisters in the family will know that it is time to copy the book again.

After putting the books away, he walked back to the place where the book basket was placed, and pressed it in one place in the book basket, and a bulge appeared, and he pressed it again, and suddenly a dark compartment appeared there. I saw that there were three or four small pieces of silver hidden in it. It's about four or five taels.

This is the money he earned in the academy during this time. There are those who copy books, write letters, and help classmates solve their homework.

He kept a small piece of silver for himself, about a tael, and wrapped the rest in a small lotus. This was intended to be handed over to his mother, and the silver left behind was just in case.

After Zhuang Zi'an cleaned up, he closed the door of the study and went out.

"Zi'an, come here!"

Su Huiniang looked at her third son who had just come out of the study.

Zhuang Zi'an heard his mother calling him, so he walked over quickly.

I saw my father and mother, as well as my brothers and sisters, sitting at a small table in the courtyard.

He thought, 'What's the matter, are you waiting for me?' ’

"Father, mother, second brother, eldest sister, second sister, third sister and younger brother, are you waiting for me?"

Zhuang Zi'an asked.

"Hmm!"

"I'm waiting for you, come and sit down."

Zhuang Yi looked at his third son suspiciously.

"All right, everyone is here, I have something to tell you today. If you have any comments in a while, you can put them forward. ”

Zhuang Yi looked at the children sitting solemnly.

The children looked at their father so seriously, and they all got serious.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Zhuang Yunwei looked at everyone in a serious atmosphere and couldn't help but ask first.

Zhuang Yi glanced at his little daughter. I looked at everyone again.

Opening.

"The first thing is that your second brother has resigned from Wangjiang Tower's job as a bookkeeper."

Zhuang Yi looked at the expressions of the children seated.

Except for the youngest son, who was already in love, the other children were very surprised.

"The second is that the family is going to open a grocery store in the town. and handed it to Zijie. ”

"And one last thing, after you first give your opinion on the first two things, I am talking."

The children who were doing it looked at each other and didn't know what to say. After all, in the end, it was the father and mother who made the final decision.

But their dad wasn't ready to let them go.

"Yunjin, you are the eldest sister, you will say it first, Yunqi, you are the second, go down in turn, do you understand?"

"Dad, shall I speak first?"

Zhuang Yunjin pointed to himself and asked.

Zhuang Yi saw it and nodded.

"Then, my daughter will say it."

"Hmm. Now you want to say whatever you want, but at the end of the day, if you still come to me to express your dissatisfaction or something because of this incident, then don't blame Dad, I didn't remind you. ”

"Yunjin, you can say it......"

"Dad, then I asked, is it because the second brother is not doing it in Wangjianglou because of family reasons?"

"Anything else? If not, it's next. ”

"No, Dad."

"Yunqi!"

"Dad, my daughter wants to know, is there enough money to open a store at home?"

"What else?"

"It's gone, Dad!"

"Zi'an."

"My son has no opinion on what the second brother is not doing in Wangjianglou, but I don't know if the second brother has already found it, if not, the younger brother can help inquire. Gone."

Zhuang Zi'an looked at his father and said.

"Yunwei!"

"Dad, what can I say, I still have to rely on my father and mother to support me, Dad, my brother just looks at it, hehe!"

Looking at his little daughter, who was only eight or nine years old, Zhuang Yi smiled helplessly.

"Zihao, you're the only one left."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuang Zihao.

"Well, why are you looking at me!"

"Dad, my son really doesn't have any opinions, isn't there a lot of money to open this store, do you want my son to fund it?"

Zhuang Zihao looked at everyone and said.

"Okay, I'm done asking, I'll ask again, if there are any other questions I want to know, I'm still in a hurry."

"Nope."

Everyone shook their heads in unison and said.

"Then let's talk about the eldest sister first."

"Zijie went home, it was true that it was because of family reasons, but there were more important things. As for what matters, I will leave it to the third thing. ”

"As for whether Yun Qi asked whether the family has enough silver, I really want the family to know that this silver is definitely not enough, so my father plans to borrow some silver from someone and pay it back when he has money. So maybe the first period of time will be a little harder, can you accept it? ”

Zhuang Yi looked at the children seriously.

"Yes."

The children replied in unison.

"Then it's up to Zi'an's question about the shop, your second brother already has a good idea of this shop, so I'll wait for the money to buy it there. It was a shop with a backyard, about 100 square meters in front, a well in the backyard, four rooms, and a kitchen. There is also a cellar in the yard, which is a very good shop, but the price is relatively expensive, it costs 1,200 taels, and it is in the downtown of the town, and the flow of people is very good. ”

"Dad, this shop is really good, but it's too expensive, how much silver do we have?"

Zhuang Zi'an asked with a frown.

The children sitting there all looked at their parents curiously.

"The family originally had eight hundred taels of silver, and after adding the two hundred taels that he had earned in the last three years, he made a total of one thousand taels of silver. There are still two hundred, but your mother and I plan to borrow five hundred taels and get some simple things done first. ”

"What, we have so much silver in our house?"

The children exclaimed.

looked at his father and mother in disbelief.

really responded to that sentence, I never expected that you would hide so deeply.

When I think of all these years, I want to cry......
