"Seventh cousin, can you figure it out?" Qi Basong turned his head to look at Qi Qizhu and asked in a low voice.

"It takes some effort, and you need an abacus, and you don't necessarily have to figure it out." Qi Qizhu said truthfully, when he said this, Qi Qizhu was looking at Qi Jiuli.

"I don't think I'm going to be a man of arithmetic wisdom." Qi Jiuli suddenly muttered to himself.

When Qi Shiyi and the others heard this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help twitching, Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong were stunned for a moment, and then Qi Qizhu's eyes were gentle and smiling, and Qi Basong laughed directly, "Jiuli, I didn't expect you to praise yourself like this, hahaha." ”

Chi Lingmiao didn't understand what they meant.

"It's according to the score of nine miles." Qi Shan smiled and said, "We may be really talented in Jiuli." ”

In the end, Chi Lingmiao was divided into one tael and four hundred and twenty-two texts, and the remaining one tael and nine hundred and ninety-eight texts were returned to Qi Jiuli.

"So much!" Ren Xue'er and Li Cuijuan couldn't help but cover their mouths and exclaimed, they were busy for two days, making three baskets of charcoal, and they earned almost half of the silver money of the big fat pig, who can earn so much in two days.

"I always felt like we took more." Chi Lingmiao looked at the one tael of broken silver in front of him, plus half a tael of silver horns, and felt a little uneasy.

"Auntie, you found me seventy-eight copper coins." Qi Jiuli said with a string of copper coins in his hand.

"That's a lot." Chi Lingmiao replied.

"It's really not, you calculate, our family has 576 more than your aunt, that is the price of a basket of charcoal in Qiu's house." Qi Jiuli said, but she verified it again after distributing the money, and she couldn't be wrong.

"Where do I know how to count, but I just feel that I have earned so much in two days, and I always feel very weak." Chi Lingmiao said with a smile.

"It's all earned by our own labor, upright, we can have so much, but it's all up to the uncle, the hall brother and the third cousin to cut down trees and carry water for us, otherwise we can't do so much at our speed." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"Ming'er, let's go cut down trees again, fetch water again, do more these days, and when we go back to Qiu's house to deliver black charcoal, we will go to other homes to ask." Qi Shan said.

Qi Jiuli nodded.

"Uncle, auntie, then let's go back first." Qi Qizhu said.

"Okay, you guys slow down."

"Seventh cousin, let's go to the private school together tomorrow." Qi Basong waved his hand.

"Okay." Qi Qizhu nodded, and then led Qi Jiuli and the three of them to their home.

"Sister, have we really earned so much?" Qi Shixiang still looked incredulous.

"Second sister, didn't you see it all just now." Qi Shiyi teased.

"With the fifty texts in that red envelope, our family now has two taels and forty-eight texts." Qi Jiuli clenched the purse in his sleeve, feeling a little excited, if he went back to the town next time and negotiated with the food shop, this would be a stable income.

When he got home, because he couldn't see clearly when it was dark, Qi Shixiang took out the oil lamp and lit it extravagantly, "Sister, can we make some charcoal now?" ”

"Rest well today and start doing it tomorrow." Qi Jiuli said, "I only went to Qiu's house in the middle of the year, what is the hurry, I have been busy for so long in the past two days, I should go to bed early." ”

"Yes." Qi Shixiang now inexplicably trusts Qi Jiuli, "Sister, you will be in charge of the kitchen from tomorrow." ”

"There's nothing to take care of in the kitchen, anyway, whoever of us cooks will be responsible, and when there is more food at home in the future, let's talk about it." Qi Jiuli said, "Now we have more important things to manage. ”

Qi Jiuli took out his purse, poured out all the silver and copper coins inside, and counted fifty Wen to Qi Qizhu, "Brother, take it." ”

Qi Qizhu frowned, and put the copper coin back on the kang, "I said that I can't live in a private school." ”

Qi Jiuli blinked his eyes before he reacted to this number and smiled, "Brother, I didn't let you live in a private school." ”

Qi Qizhu looked at Qi Jiuli suspiciously.

"I'm thinking that brother, when you're out of the house, you have to bring some copper coins with you, so you don't have to be embarrassed when it's useless." Qi Jiuli said.

"I don't need to use ......"

"I didn't let you use it, I just kept it." Qi Jiuli insisted.

"Brother, sister is right, you should be prepared, and my mother will give you a few pennies to prepare in the past." Qi Shixiang said with some nostalgia.

Qi Qizhu's eyes also turned red all of a sudden, and so did Qi Shiyi.

Qi Jiuli was a little at a loss, she really didn't expect to inadvertently mention the sad thing.

"Brother, don't let my sister worry about us." Qi Shixiang choked slightly.

"Got it." Qi Qizhu touched the top of the hair of his three younger brothers and sisters, "It's just nine miles, you don't need fifty wen, five wen is enough." ”

This number is the number given by my mother before, I was to let myself take a donkey cart, and I only need two Wen to go back and forth, and Sanwen is to let myself buy some delicious food, but these Qi Qizhu basically don't use it.

"What Shiwen needs." Qi Jiuli counted ten copper plates and put them in Qi Qizhu's palm, "Brother, don't let us worry." ”

Qi Qizhu smiled, "Got it." ”

"By the way, how much foreign debt do we owe?" Qi Jiuli asked.

"I owe fifty wen to my uncle's family, and I owe three hundred wen to my uncle's family, not including the white rice we were." Qi Shixiang said.

Qi Jiuli counted another three hundred Wen, "Brother, Ming'er, when you go to find the eighth cousin to go to the private school, give it back to the uncle." ”

Qi Qizhu nodded.

"Where's Uncle's house?" Qi Shixiang asked.

"I owe it." Qi Jiuli put all the money back into his purse, and then hid the purse in the wooden box, thinking about it inappropriate, he struggled to move the wooden box, intending to press it under the wooden box, but saw a dirty oily paper seal under the wooden box.

Qi Jiuli picked it up and opened it, and there were eight copper coins inside.

"This is what you hid before, big sister." Qi Shiyi revealed, "I didn't expect the eldest sister to like to hide in such a place. ”

"I didn't expect it to be under the wooden box." Qi Shixiang said in astonishment, "My sister burned in a daze before, what did she tell me about wooden boxes, copper coins, I rummaged through and didn't know how many times I didn't find it, it turned out to be under the wooden box." ”

The corners of Qi Jiuli's mouth twitched.

"But it's a nice place, who would have thought that." Qi Shixiang smiled.

She thought of it, Qi Jiuli thought secretly.

However, Qi Jiuli still obediently took out the silver money in the purse and put it in the oil paper envelope, leaving only one hundred wen in the purse, Qi Qizhu helped put the wooden box in place, and Qi Jiuli also carefully stepped on the scratches on the ground after the wooden box was moved.

"This is where the family's money is kept, and if there is any urgent need, it will be taken from here." Qi Jiuli said seriously.

"Got it." Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi were very happy, they felt that they had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"By the way, brother, on the second day of the second month of February, the village will worship the land lord, do you want to go?" Qi Shiyi asked.
