Li Yu was so comfortable by her that she suddenly forgot to investigate how Li Yunxin deceived the old man.

Just think about it, Brother Xian'er goes to study, so he doesn't have to go to the ground.

The family may still have good food and drink for him, and the whole family, big and small, old and young, has to coax and hold him......

In his heart, there is still a little bit of inexplicability.

In addition, there was also a faint fear in his heart.

Look at how filial the eldest brother was back then? I've only been studying for a few years, what is my attitude towards my parents?

Brother Xian, he, he, will he follow the old path of the eldest brother?

It's just these words in his heart, but Li Yu only dares to mumble in his heart.

After all, no matter how elm Mu headed, Li Yu also knew that these words could not be spoken.

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children.

This is good for his own children, if the father is clearly opposed, I am afraid that he will fall into a reputation that is worse than a tiger!

This dinner dinner, almost all of the old Li family's family did not know the taste.

The purslane dumplings on the table with dipping sauce, stewed tofu with Chinese herbs, stewed mushrooms with wind chicken, sorghum rice rice, and millet noodles are almost luxurious and delicious on the table.

Few people notice how delicious they taste and how delicious.

Everyone is trying to reconcile the excitement.

This time, the old Li family may really have a chance to change the court!

Back then, Li Huai's leg was injured and his dream of the imperial examination was broken, and he was far from the only one who was sad.

Later, Li Xiwen was also regarded as a son inheriting his father's ambition, although he did not have much inspiration in studying, he continued to read in the end.

The old and young masters of the family can see clearly the thoughts of the old couple who are eccentric to the big house.

None of them felt that there was anything wrong with such eccentricity.

After all, if Brother Wen comes out of the exam in the future and becomes an official, it will benefit the entire family.

When the time comes, these real relatives will naturally come to the bitter end.

But...... In the heart of the fifth Li Tong, an almost irrepressible desire surged again.

The desire to make a difference.

He knew that he was not reading material.

I am the same age as Brother Wen, Brother Wen has been reading for so many years, and he has not read anything famous.

What's more, it's a rough person who doesn't know a lot of words?

But, if you don't have the ability to study, can't you really have a way out?

Li Tong thought of his father-in-law.

Every month, he is paid a lot of money, he drinks a little wine, and he is in charge of dozens of people, and he is very majestic.

The father-in-law spoiled his daughter-in-law very much, and he was very good to himself.

But what about my father-in-law a hundred years from now?

He looked at his wife and young son, and then at his own hand, and was silent.

I can't dig in the soil for the rest of my life, so that a good woman like my daughter-in-law can only be a peasant woman for the rest of her life, right?!

Chen noticed Li Tong's abnormality: "Brother Tong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Tong came back to his senses, looked at Chen's concerned expression, and his face softened:

"It's okay, are you tired? Brother Ming, come here, daddy hug. ”

Brother Ming happily responded, "Hey! Then he "slipped out" from Chen's arms, and immediately threw himself into Li Tong's arms and hugged his neck.

Li Tong hugged Brother Ming with a smile, coaxed for a while, and suddenly turned his face and asked Chen:

"Jiao Niang, you married me, and you have suffered so much with me, don't you regret it?"

Chen glared at Li Tong with disgust:

"Hey, what stupid are you talking about? In front of the children......"

Chen said, his cheeks flushed, and he couldn't help but be shy:

"Back then...... I saw you at first sight! ”

Li Tong laughed happily, his eyes became extraordinarily bright, and his voice was low and pleasant:

"What a girl, how can I Li Tong have such a wife!"

……

Li Yunxin quietly shuddered and shook the goosebumps on his body. She really didn't mean to eavesdrop this time.

However, listening to the fifth uncle's meaning, he seems to have something on his mind!

The fifth aunt is like that, let's go away with shyness! I didn't even hear it!

So should you remind her?

Li Yunxin only hesitated for a moment, and then threw this matter to the back of his mind.

Since the old man and the old lady have decided to send Li Xixian to apprentice tomorrow, it is too late today, and there are a lot of serious things to prepare!

The old lady Qiao Ximei put the boxwood money box that she wiped clean every day on the kang head, and put the lid aside.

She counted the copper plates in the money box.

This money box is known to the whole family and the old lady puts it at home.

There were only a tael of broken silver, hundreds of copper coins, a copper-gilded ring, and a silver bracelet with twisted wire.

These things are the "family background" that the old lady Qiao Ximei put on the bright side.

After the autumn harvest, she sold the grain, or sold the handkerchiefs and purses she made with her daughters-in-law and children on weekdays, or the silver money earned by the fathers of the family who went to work for a short time during the slack season, she collected them directly in this box.

Alas, counting and counting, these copper coins are still only a few hundred originally.

It doesn't just because she counts carefully and counts more times that the birds quietly increase.

……

The next day, the Li family got up early in the morning.

The old man Li Jingfu and the old lady Qiao Ximei got up before dawn and the rooster crowed.

Maybe I'm old, and it's easy to sleep badly when something happens.

The two old men had dark circles under their eyes, and their faces were a little haggard, but they were very excited.

Qiao Ximei cooked herself, took out the white noodles that she was willing to eat after making dumplings for the New Year, and made a special trip to brand a few oil cakes for Li Xixian.

The fragrance of oil cakes wafted all over the yard, and the whole family was refreshed.

Li Yunrou took out the new clothes that Yu Qingmei had prepared for Li Xixian from the gift she sent to Qingmei last time.

Thanks to Li Xixian, he has never been willing to wear it on weekdays.

It's just right for me to go to the apprenticeship today and wear this new set of clothes.

In fact, it's not just new clothes, the four treasures of the study, which also come in handy today!

It's just that there seems to be a few books missing......

Li Yunxin smiled:

"Don't worry, when we get to the town, let's go ask the school first and see what books my brother needs.

If I got it right, I went to the bookstore and bought it all, and then I sent it to my brother. ”

Qiao Ximei put a tael of silver, a piece of bacon, a box of snacks, and the letter of recommendation written by Master Yu in the same bag, and put it together with the burden that Li Yunrou had packed.

Li Yunrou packed up the four treasures of the study, two sets of clothes, and two pairs of shoes for Li Xixian.

Feng Shi also hurriedly packed a set of bedding for Li Xixian.

Together, these things take up quite a bit of space.

The old couple was finally generous, took out a full ten copper plates, and hired a donkey cart from the mayor's family. The old couple also sat on it themselves, and personally sent their good grandson Li Xixian and a few of his luggage to Xingzhi Academy.
