The Li family's space is limited, but when Li's father heard that the two had no relatives by his side, he immediately took the two in. The Li family has a total of three rooms, the east house lives the old lady and Li Jasmine, and the west house lives the two sons of Li's father and three boys. These people, there are more men and fewer women, the bed is small and the kang is big, and Father Li and Cang Zijian sleep on the kang.

Immediately after that, the problem came.

With the addition of two people, food and clothing are the primary problem. The food is good, Fu Zhenyu and they brought some over; Heating, however, is a very big problem.

Li Zongyan got back four taels of silver before, and the windfall, Mrs. Li was in charge, and she kept it for her grandchildren to study. Yes, the Li family is still very poor this year, and only one basket of charcoal has been prepared, which is specially used for the two grandchildren of Mrs. Li in the East House. The fire kang is connected to the stove, although it is not very warm, but it will not freeze.

The Li family, only the Westinghouse, where Li's father and mother originally lived, had nothing.

When I go to buy charcoal during the New Year, I don't know where to buy it, so I have to borrow some from relatives and friends.

After Fu Zhenyu found out, he muttered to Cangzijian: "Why do you want to borrow?" Isn't it possible to burn it yourself? ”

Cang Zijian laughed at her: "You also asked me to experience fireworks!" I think you're the one who needs to experience it! Charcoal burning requires not only firewood, but also craftsmanship. Every family burns charcoal, who will buy it? ”

Fu Zhenyu really didn't know these details, glared at Cang Zijian, and opened his mouth to defend himself: "Senior brother, what he said is strange, every family will do it, why can't he buy it?" Steamed buns and wotou will be made by every family, don't people buy them anyway? ”

At this time, Mother Li was about to go out, Fu Zhenyu saw it, her heart moved, she immediately left Cangzijian, hurriedly stepped forward to stop, and asked, "Auntie, do you want to borrow something?" ”

The Li family is such a big place, she has such a voice, who doesn't know? Seeing that the two younger sons lowered their heads, and the eldest son was embarrassed to turn his face away, Mother Li was embarrassed and forcibly raised her head to set an example for her sons, only to see her smile lightly and explain: "Money is tight, everything at home is just right, and more than one bedding is -"

Fu Zhenyu has already begun to apologize: "I came here without saying hello, I caused you trouble!" Auntie, take me with you. ”

In this way, the Li family is so embarrassed. Mother Li hurriedly said no, but Fu Zhenyu insisted. In the end, it was Li Zongyan who spoke: "Mother, you and Fu Shanchang should go together." ”

Mother Li did not object.

Maybe the Li family has a good relationship with the neighbors, or maybe because Fu Zhenyu came forward, the futon was quickly borrowed. and Li's father, who borrowed charcoal, arrived home with his feet in front and behind.

Li's father not only borrowed charcoal, but also borrowed a stove and placed it in the yard to make a fire. Cang Zijian and Li Zongyan cleared the snow on the roof of the house, checked and repaired the house. Fu Zhenyu is not the one who can't be picked, and he and Mother Li clean up the house and kitchen.

When a woman's family is together, she will inevitably talk. Seeing that Mother Li didn't speak much, Fu Zhenyu kept talking, saying that the student talked about Li Zongyan.

Soon, Mother Li picked up the conversation.

Mother Li pinched the cake in her hand, looked at the girl outside and said, "These children in the family, I am only worried about Jasmine." Originally, this color was better, and she called her brothers used to it, what will she do in the future! ”

"What's so hard to do! When I was in the academy, there was no girl more intelligent than Jasmine, and Fan Ming liked her. Fu Zhenyu told the truth.

Mother Li didn't ask who Fan Ming was, nor did she have a Panasonic expression, and continued: "Speaking of the academy, since Jasmine went to the academy, when she came back, she said that the house was small. As soon as I opened my mouth to train, her brother began to protect her, and she also began to talk about herself, and she also began to say that the family was crowded. It wasn't the first day that the kid went to the academy, and it wasn't the first day to see and recognize people. I had never said anything before, so how could I believe it? ”

Fu Zhenyu said: "What my aunt said, I think it's a good thing. I only asked my aunt, did Jasmine just say that the academy has a bigger school than the house at home, and you think she is disgusted with her own family, so she is not happy, so she began to say that Jasmine is not, and Zong Yan will protect her? ”

Mother Li's hand was paused and asked, "How does the mountain chief know?" ”

The side proved that Fu Zhenyu guessed correctly.

Fu Zhenyu smiled and said, "I am familiar with the two of them, I don't know what kind of temperament I don't know?" Jasmine is a little delicate, but girls are spoiled when they are delicate. Moreover, it is necessary to have the capital to pet people. For example, I also like big houses, and my father is just a middle-of-the-list, and as soon as the family has spare money, he gave me a whole large wing. Since Zong Yan wants to spoil his sister, he will definitely work harder. It seems to me that your eldest son is not far from the time to build a big house for his sister. ”

Li Zongyan is now a showman.

Fu Zhenyu's words can make ninety-nine percent of his mothers smile, but Mother Li is not arrogant, she said seriously: "Fu Shanchang doesn't have to coax me to be happy!" I sent my son to school, and I knew how difficult it was. Talent is the beginning, and it is not easy to lift people. ”

Fu Zhenyu is just talking about things.

Nanhu Academy now has seven talents, in terms of strength, this year's Qiuqiu, Qian Wenju and Han Mo, who are temporary masters, are all promising. But what happens to Qian Wenju depends on the result of going home this time, as long as there is no one in the Qian family to hold him back, he should be able to. Students here, Gu Yongyan should have a play, and Li Zongyan is not a big problem. Among them, Li Zongyan is a native of Runing, and if he is promoted, it will be the most beneficial thing for Nanhu Academy.

Mother Li didn't know how good she was, so she went on: "I inquired clearly, the township exam is going to Kaifeng Mansion for the exam." If you go to a small month, you can eat, drink, and live, what kind of money does not need money? This one lies down, and the family's chewing head for a year is gone. People like us can't stand his tests again and again. ”

Is it because of this that Li Zongyan works so hard? And hard work is the best talent, and Li Zongyan has become the best one among the students recruited.

Seeing that Fu Zhenyu was deep in thought, Mother Li suddenly remembered the six-year agreement signed between her son and Nanhu Academy, and hurriedly changed her words: "However, I believe my eldest son, not this year, and it will be allowed in three years!" ”

As a result, there is still one year left to owe the academy money.

Fu Zhenyu guessed her worries and said with a smile: "It's not good, as long as you are active, Xiucai can earn you two years of chewing in one year." Not to mention the sidelines, it's okay to stay in the academy and teach. Normally, food and accommodation are in the academy, and you can get an extra two taels of silver a month. ”

In a word, reduce Li Zongyan's money to one-tenth of Qian Wenju's master's money, and bring the master's treatment back to a normal level.

Mother Li heard this, and after being silent for a while, she said something else. As a result, before it got dark, Li Zongyan came to talk to Fu Zhenyu, and Cang Zijian was naturally beside him.

I only heard Li Zongyan ask: "Mountain Chief, if I want to be a master, what should I do?" ”
