Chapter 39: Expensive Books
"It's good if the second aunt likes it." Ye Qingyu smiled, and then said that these pastries were bought for Xiaobao and chicks.
"Qingyu, although you sold your dowry and prescriptions, and you have some silver, but the more you spend this money, the less it is, it's better to save some flowers." Although Ye Dahe was moved in his heart, he still couldn't help but say two words.
"Second uncle, money is earned, not saved." Ye Qingyu smiled slightly and said apologetically,
"I'm the eldest sister, I was confused before, and I didn't look like a big sister, when I remembered that I was still grabbing food with Xiaobao and Xiaoniu before, I blushed with shame, and now I have some money in hand, I want to make up for it quickly."
Ye Dahe was comforted by her words, and his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at her, so he didn't say anything.

After waiting for a while, Ye Dashan and Ye Qingfeng came back, and the two of them walked all the way, both hot and sweaty, and even more thirsty.
Ye Qingshu hurriedly poured two bowls of tea for them, and the two didn't say anything, first drank the two bowls of tea with a grunt, and then sighed comfortably.
"Big brother, look, these are the four books you want, but they are really expensive, just these four books, it cost one or two silver. There are also these pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, which add up to one or two halves of silver. ”
Ye Qingfeng said, revealing a painful expression.
Nowadays, printing technology is not good, paper and books are very expensive, so the poor people just want to read, and they don't have the money to afford it.
"You're a little money junkie." Ye Qingyu smiled and rubbed his little brother's head, "Your eldest brother is going to take the Xiucai exam, and it is worth spending this silver." ”
"I know." Ye Qingfeng nodded, and he just muttered a few words.
"When I re-read these books and copy them by hand, I can sell them again." Ye Qingshu said.
"It's all said, you don't have to worry about the money, just study and study with peace of mind." Ye Qingyu said to the eldest brother,
"You look at it for a while, the eldest sister has a way to make money, so you don't have to worry, you can buy a few books if you want to."
Ye Qingyu said this bullishly, Ye Dashan deliberately gave her a thumbs up, "My daughter is so powerful, she will definitely be able to do what she says!" ”
"That's nature!" Ye Qingyu deliberately raised his head and said proudly, and everyone else couldn't help laughing.
A few people laughed and said a few words, and then Ye Dashan saw the fabrics and pastries on the table, as well as the cloth bags, and naturally asked a few words.
Hearing his daughter's words, he smiled and praised her for her delicate thoughts, and he didn't object.
After another while, Ye Dashan also sat down to rest enough, and when he saw that his youngest son was full of energy and not tired at all, he looked at Ye Qingyu and asked,
"Girl, are you okay? How about we go to your grandma and your mother now? I just inquired, there is an ox cart back to our village, and after half an hour, we will call them and go home. ”
"I'm much better, and I just went shopping for something. Let's go, let's go home early, my grandfather is at home, although I entrust Aunt Liu to take care of it, I don't feel at ease. Ye Qingyu got up and spoke.
"Hey, that's right! Let's get back quickly. Thinking of his father at home, Ye Dashan was also anxious in his heart, and hurriedly said.

Ye Qingyu's mother and grandmother worked as helpers, and the family surnamed Li was a wealthy family, not very far from the tea shop where they sit, and they arrived after walking half a pillar of incense.
