Chapter 5 Killing Chickens and Collecting Eggs

"Today, before dinner, I want to discuss something with you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" After the old lady Wang received a meaningful little look from Xu, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and opened her mouth to everyone.

Lin Fusheng shook his head secretly, the second uncle and aunt acted so fast, I don't know what tricks they plan to make this time.

"Mother, what's the matter, let's talk about it!" Lin Shitong put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at his mother Wang with a smile.

"What about our family, there are many places to use money in the past two years, not only the second child has to go to the test for fame, but the middle children are also seven years old, and they are not young, and it is not a matter of delaying it any longer, so we have to find a gentleman to learn as soon as possible."

"Isn't it just right to let the priest cultivate the middle child?" As soon as he heard this, Lin Shitong smiled disappreciatively.

Lin Shitong blurted out a sentence without thinking too much, but it made Xu unhappy. The corners of his mouth instantly drooped, and he said sharply: "Yo, his uncle, this can't be done." Shixiu is now studying day and night, if you want to squeeze out more time to teach middle school children to read and learn calligraphy, in case the county exam, you get sick again, then how can you get it. ”

Lin Shitong is a broad-hearted person, he doesn't have so many thoughts, so he naturally can't hear the voice of Xu's words, so he really lowered his head and thought about it seriously, "Uh......, then, it's better to let Daddy teach Zhong'er." No matter what Dad says, he's still a showman, and this teacher is still ......"

"Xiucai? Who's Xiucai? Shiwen has won the show? Okay, hahaha......" Before Lin Shi's voice fell, Old Man Lin suddenly became as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and almost sang on the table.

"I was fine just now, but when I mentioned Xiucai, I got sick again. Why did Shiwen come out too, it's really ......" Xu Shi was already unhappy with Lin Shitong's words, but now an old man Lin who suddenly fell ill came out, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

The Shiwen in the mouth of the old man Lin is the third son of the Lin family, and he is the child that the old man values the most. It is said that this Lin Shiwen has been brilliant since he was a child, and he can recite poetry at the age of three, write at the age of five, and be able to write chapters by the age of seven or eight. However, it really responded to that sentence: God is jealous of talent, and when he took the college examination at the age of sixteen, he died unexpectedly in the examination room. In the end, it was determined that he died of overwork in his studies. This is what is often referred to today as sudden death.

When Lin Shiwen just died, the old man was really grieved, and he had not recovered from madness for many years. It can be seen that the third son of the Lin family has a high status in the old man's heart. Even now, the three sons have been dead for many years, and the old man still talks about it often.

Old Man Lin seemed to be living in his own world, so he didn't pay attention to Xu's complaints at all, and continued to say with a smile: "Shi Xiu's body is weak, that's because he stayed in the room all day and didn't move. In the future, follow Stone more and work in the fields, just do it! ”

Hearing this, Lin Shixiu couldn't hold back his face, glanced at Old Man Lin with a resentful expression, and snorted: "Dad, you are sick, just say a few words." ”

"What? Are you sick again? Alas! As soon as I got sick in the county exam, I saw you, so I broke off the idea of taking the merit test, and helped your brother to farm! Old Man Lin is getting old, and his ears are not very good, so he put his palms on his ears and stretched his head in the direction of Lin Shixiu, to listen carefully to what he said.

If you say that in this family, Lin Fusheng's favorite is this old man Lin, who is amiable, relying on himself to be crazy and deaf, talking to people all day long.

This time, Old Man Lin talked crazy, and the second uncle of the Lin family made a big red face. Lin Fusheng couldn't help but "poof" and laughed.

Others didn't pay attention, but Yang, who was sitting next to Lin Fusheng, listened to it and looked at his son in surprise.

At this time, Xu Shi secretly glanced at Old Man Lin impatiently, then looked at Lin Shitong, and said, "Uncle He, you see, where can he teach." I'm afraid even he doesn't know what he's talking about. ”

Lin Shitong frowned, and nodded with a very cautious and serious expression, "Then, where does Zhong'er want to go to study?" ”

Hearing that the eldest brother finally asked, Lin Shixiu smiled and said, "Big brother, not far from our village, in the Li family village, there is a Master Li, I heard that the teaching is very good. Most of the children he has brought can at least pass the test. Alas, I didn't catch up with the second brother, otherwise, I would have wanted to study with Li Fuzi for a few years. ”

This second uncle is really cheeky, he is not young, and he can even say this. Think of him, an uncle-level figure with a family and children, sitting abruptly in the middle of a group of little children, shaking his head and following the master to read the "Three Character Classic". This scene almost made Lin Fusheng laugh at the sitting.

"Okay, then let Zhong'er go!" Lin Shitong's promise is also so cool.

"It's good, it's just ......" Lin Shixiu lowered his head, pretending to be embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shitong asked.

Lin Shixiu gave Xu a look at this time, and Xu took over the conversation and said, "Uncle He, don't you know, Master Li is highly respected and famous, and what people collect there are all children of rich and noble families. The bundle is extremely high. ”

"So, how much do you need?" Lin Shitong asked.

Xu tentatively stretched out two fingers, "Yes, get two pieces of money." ”

"Ah, so much......" Lin Shitong immediately made a difficulty.

"That's not all, there are also grains and meats sent by each season, seasonal fruit and vegetable gifts, etc......" Xu said and felt embarrassed to speak.

Lin Shitong frowned at this moment, bowed his head and said nothing. With such a large amount, where can I raise it?

"Ahem, ahem." Speaking of this, grandmother Wang cleared her throat and said to Lin Shi: "Boss, our family has not had much money over the years, but we can't delay it anymore!" Mother thought, our family has fifteen acres of land, and your father got it when he was not sick. Now, since our family is in a hurry to use the money, or else, we will sell it for one mu in ,......,, and if we can have seven or eight taels of silver, the cost of the scientific examination of the scholar and the bundle of cultivation from Master Li will all be settled. In the next year or two, our family will live more comfortably. Look...... how's it going? ”

Yes? Sell the land. That's tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.

Lin Fusheng was surprised. The fifteen acres of land of the Lin family and a few old hens in the yard are the lifeblood of Mrs. Wang. No matter how hard the days of going to the Lin family were, the old lady never had this thought. This second aunt is really eloquent, and in just one or three moments, she can persuade the old lady to sell her land? This Xu family, not going to be a lobbyist in troubled times, is really too condescending.

However, in an instant, Lin Fusheng noticed that there was some hesitation in Wang's words. It seems that the matter of selling land is not so simple, maybe what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd.

Not to mention how Lin Fusheng played the drum in his abdomen, hearing what Wang said, Lin Shitong and his daughter-in-law Yang were also shocked and stunned.
