Chapter 41 Private Money
"The seedlings are planted, tomorrow I will go to see the paddy field and see the snails, don't be eaten by the snails."
"I told Yu Niang to exchange the yellow eel for five fish with them. Can you make ten tables of three-pound fish? ”
"Be prepared, two more." Su Chengqi wiped his feet and saw San'er standing by the door. Put down the footcloth and walk to the door.
Looking down at San'er, he asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Su Lingyu handed over the box in her hand.
The small boxes were locked with locks, with gaps at the top, or inserted with copper plates, or thrown in with broken silver.
Since three years ago, she got fifty taels from the master's book, and the situation at home has improved, and occasionally she has one or two copper plates and the merchant to buy candy.
Thinking that San'er had something he wanted to buy, he asked him to help, "What does the little lady want to buy?" There is a lot of money at home, and you don't need to use your money to buy anything. and keep these plates as a dowry for you. ”
She doesn't want to use the family's money, the family's money is used by the two scholars first, and she can earn her own expenses.
"Su Chong's study, Su Shan's travels, they all need money, don't throw money outside." Saying that, Su Lingyu crossed the threshold and walked inside.
Although the cheap father did not have much money in his hand, he lent out more than a dozen copper plates at one time, and also lent several taels of silver.
Su Zhang's hugged the fed Xiao Wu and coaxed Xiao Wu to sleep, "It's good to keep San'er's body money, what do you want to buy?" ”
"Great Barren Mountain."
"What? Great Wilderness Mountain? There are many weeds in the Great Wilderness Mountain, there are many miscellaneous trees, there are few good trees, and the soil is red and yellow, which is not a good place for farming. What did you buy it for? ”
Su Chengqi set down the bench, sat down and pulled San'er to sit down, he wanted to have a long talk with San'er and persuade San'er to give up buying a mountain.
"Summer and middle kapok tree."
The small waterhole in the summer resort was bought by Li Dan and built a small wooden house as Li Yongzhi's study. In the past, Li Yongzhi studied in the current private school, and he could sneak into the wooden house with Li Ying to cool off the summer heat.
Now that Lee Wing Chi has returned home from high school, he needs to revise his homework to prepare for the spring of the coming year. This quiet and cool cabin is naturally the place of choice. Where else is she going?
Instead of enduring the summer heat like this, it is better to get a wooden house at home to enjoy the shade.
There is a water source on the side of the Great Wilderness Mountain, which can become puddles and pools as long as it is excavated and expanded. It is a good place to build wooden houses by the waterholes in the mountains and raise fish and medicinal herbs.
Su Lingyu opened the box, and on top of most of the box of copper coins, there were red and green carp purses. The crooked carp shows that the embroiderer's craftsmanship is clumsy, and it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall, no wonder she hid in the cash box.
Looking at most of the boxes of copper coins, Su Chengqi was surprised, "Where did you get the money?" So much! ”
The money in the family is placed in the hands of the mother and the mother, and in addition to the copper money he buys vegetables every day, it is fifteen pocket money. If you want to invite that friend to dinner, you don't invite your friend home for dinner; It is to report to the mother and mother in advance and advance some copper coins.
Touching the purse on his body, he sighed: "The three sons are richer than their fathers!" ”
Su Lingyu pushed the box out, "Ten taels of silver, maybe buy the Great Wilderness Mountain?" ”
"Unknown. I will have to discuss it with the village chief and Li Zheng before I can make a decision. ”
"But hurry up, the valley rain has passed, will Lixia be far away?"
Su Zhang was amused by this old-fashioned words. "You, you enjoyed all your last life. I can't survive this summer. ”
has three children in his own family, and he can still walk and jump in winter. Only in the summer, it is called hot during the day and hot at night, and it is even more difficult to raise the appetite for food.
She looked distressed, and begged Li Ying several times to take San'er to the waterhole wooden house, but she was embarrassed to go too much, so she had to please Yu Niang and let Yu Niang not be angry.
"I don't live alone in that house, Juren and Xiucai are back, and it's a good place for them to study."
Su Chengqi's hesitant expression turned firm, "I'll help you win it tomorrow." ”
It was as if it was really for her. Su Lingyu glanced at him and left with his hands behind his back.
…………
"Dad, mother, we're back." Su Shan lifted the curtain, stretched out his head, and jumped out of the carriage with his baggage.
Su Zhong jumped out of the carriage and stayed away from home for the first time, missing it. Now that I'm home, I'm very kind.
"My son is back, set off firecrackers!" Su Chengqi beckoned to the distance, and the people in the distance lit firecrackers, and the firecrackers crackled and shook the sky.
At the same time, there was also Li Yongzhi of the Li family. Firecrackers were set off here, and there was no lag over there, and the sound of firecrackers rang out.
"Come in, come in, you're tired."
"Come and have a bowl of water."
Su Shan was surrounded by the door, and Su Chong was lonely and followed him into the door.
Su Lingyu by the door grabbed him and pointed over there to show him.
I saw a bamboo couplet hanging at the door of his room, and the couplet: There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long; Downlink: Straight to the clouds and sails to the sea.
Reading this couplet repeatedly, I realized the true meaning, my eyes couldn't help but moisten, and I didn't dare to see anyone when I lowered my head.
"Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat. What a loss. ”
Su Zhong wiped away his tears and reluctantly raised his head with a smile, "I made you laugh, the big brother actually wants you to comfort you." ”
"Don't mind." Your father has cried before me, let alone you.
With a little warmth in the sadness, Su Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and the burden in his heart fell a lot. Before returning home, I thought about all kinds of situations, I thought about being asked about being tempted, being looked down upon, and being despised.
Now that he is home, he realizes that the reality is not as difficult to face as he imagined.
"Go and talk to my mother, she can't sleep at night these days, talking to Da Mao, thinking of words to comfort you. Go ahead. ”
"Hmm."
Su Zhong raised his head and chested, stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard, looking at his mother's eyes and smiling at his worried mother. "Mother, the child is back."
Sure enough, as San'er said, my mother was worried about me, I couldn't sleep at night, and my eyes were blue.
The eldest son in the family actually let his mother be so worried, it really shouldn't be. He should have returned home as soon as possible, instead of being reluctant to return home to see his parents for some reason.
"Mother, children are not filial."
"Ahem." Su Zhang, who couldn't speak, choked twice, squinted with a smile, and tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes. "What is unfilial piety? Your ability to return safely is already a great filial piety. ”
Su Chengqi withdrew from Erlang, gave Da'er a bear hug, and encouraged Da'er, "The spider can still make a web again, let alone my son Su Chengqi." Not this time, there will be a next time. ”
"The child is not as good at reading as the second brother, and it is already very good to be admitted to Xiucai. No matter where I go, I'm satisfied. ”
I don't know if he was comforting his father or himself. The fact that he can have such thoughts shows that his mind is not crooked, and I hope he can maintain a humble heart.
Looking at Su Shan with a bright smile in the crowd, Su Lingyu was a little worried.
Su Shan's ability to win the lift can't be said to be unlucky, he is only five or six years older than her, and the eleven or twelve-year-old boy is not yet an adult. This time, I want to travel with Li Yongzhi. And go to familiarize yourself with the venue and prepare for the imperial examination in three years.
It's just that he didn't think about it, he could pass it once, and he was promoted for the first time in the next game. Before he was an adult, he was lifted, and he was afraid that he would hurt Zhongyong in the future.
Teenage fame is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Su Lingyu turned around and went to the small room, there were too many people, she had to take care of the two small ones.
The yard was full of people, noisy, not suitable for taking two children out, she brought some small snacks into the house, closed the door to isolate the noise outside.
