"Big brother, big brother, are you okay?" Qiao Xi grabbed the eldest brother who was about to fall to the ground and pinched him fiercely, which made Qiao Song sober up a lot and no longer feel dizzy.

Qiao Song waved his hand weakly, sat on the seat and gasped, his eyes a little dull.

Qiao Xi didn't dare to talk much at this time, for fear of stabbing/provoking her eldest brother again, but she can't be blamed for this, it's the eldest brother who has to let her say it, and she is not allowed to hide it from them anymore, now it's okay, accept her incompetence.

All of a sudden the hall became very quiet, and now if a needle fell to the ground, they could hear it clearly.

After a while, Qiao Song finally relieved himself, and looked at Qiao Xi with a monster look for a while, and wanted to see a difference, no matter how he looked at it, Qiao Xi was still Qiao Xi, why was it special.

Before he was still hesitating, at this time he was not entangled in his heart, after such a period of time, his sister is more suitable for being in charge of the house than his eldest brother, although he has given the right to be in charge of the house to his sister, but he has a lot of worries in his heart, now, his worries are gone, no longer entangled, I believe that this family will become better and better under the leadership of his sister, and he can study with peace of mind, no matter what, he must be worthy of his sister's hard work, how to get an official and a half-job back.

"Little sister, in the future, the eldest brother will not interfere in the affairs of the family, what do you ask me to do, and the younger brother and I will cooperate with you."

"Really, big brother?" If so, it's better. Her eldest brother is suitable for studying, and it is really overkill to let him do those jobs.

"Really." What Qiao Song said was very cut to the core.

"Thank you, big brother. However, I will still discuss with you if there are things, and I will not be all dictatorial. "There are three people in the family, and only by bringing together everyone's ideas can we unite each other.

"Big brother believes in you."

"Brother, the younger brother has reached the age of enlightenment, I want to send him to study." The younger brother is six years old, which is the age of enlightenment, and he is very motivated to learn, so he can't be buried at home.

Qiao Song also knows that the younger brother has reached the stage of enlightenment, and he also knows that the younger brother likes to study very much, he has returned to school, and the annual bundle will cost ten taels, as well as the usual expenses, which add up to at least twelve or thirteen taels, if you add the younger brother, the two of them will have to study at least twenty taels a year, and now the little sister has made some money in the business of cooperating with others, but their days are still long, it is impossible to just look at the present and ignore the future, "Little sister, will you work too hard in this way?" ”

"No, now there are basically monthly incomes, which are just enough for our usual expenses, and as for the silver money from embroidery, it is also enough for you to study, and the shackles of studying are wrapped around me." Here, only studying has a way out, but the cost of studying is too high, not ordinary people can afford it, if it is a high school show in one fell swoop, it is good to say, the yamen will distribute some food and silver taels every month, if there is no high school, it is a bitter death of a family. If she didn't have the soul of the Celestial Empire, she wouldn't be able to do this, this is the benefit of opening the hanging.

"Little sister, if you are too tired, you tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother will come back to help you, and the matter of studying in the future will be handed over to the younger brother, so that he can study hard and strive to be a big official in the future."

"Well, I'll tell you if I'm tired. But now are we going to buy some more land? "Now that they have money in their hands, they should buy some fertile land to grow their own food, and then buy some other land to grow vegetables, and it would be good to create an idyllic landscape."

"The land is to be bought, but who will plant it?" This is a very serious problem, none of the three of them are experts in farming, and the little sister can grow vegetables, and the problem of growing food will follow.

"You can't go wrong with buying it first. You can also invite someone to plant, are you afraid that no one will want to make money? "Poor, it's not about money, who doesn't want to make money.

“……”

"Compare the money for hiring people to farm and the money for buying grain, it must be cheap to hire people to work, and the food will also be your own, when you win the show, my family will not need to pay taxes, and you can save a comparison." It is also beneficial to be talented, and you can be exempted from paying public rations.

As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, Qiao Song's brain started to work quickly, and after calculating it, it was indeed much cheaper to invite someone. "Okay, but good land is generally not easily sold, but you can pay attention to it first."

"Oh, that can't help it. Let's buy some dry land first. "If you can't buy fertile land for the time being, you can buy some dry land first, which should be easier. In this way, she can expand her vegetable cultivation, and now the place where her ability can control is getting bigger and bigger, and she is very freewheeling, and the whole person's hearing and perception ability has also increased a lot.

"Then I'll go and ask Lizheng tomorrow, preferably closer to our house." Even if you buy dry land, you have to buy it closer to home, so that Xiaomei can take care of it more easily every day, he may not be able to help her in other aspects, but there are some things that still have to be considered for her.

"That's what I thought, too. Big brother, if the younger brother goes to study, which master in the town is better? "She didn't know much about this before, and she could only ask her brother about it. If you confirm the place where your younger brother goes to school, should you consider buying a car? In this way, it is more convenient to travel, and the eldest brother can go to the county seat to study and send it, and it is not right to delay the younger brother. However, the matter of buying a car will be confirmed after the place where the younger brother is studying, and there is no hurry for the time being.

"The town school is a little far away, and most of them are for those rich children to open, although they will also recruit children from outside, generally when the rich children are accompanied, not very far from us but there are two schools, one in Chujia Village, one in Songjia Village, Chujia Village is an old master, after the early years of the examination, suffered great changes in the family, he did not continue to take the exam, he set up a school in his own village, and the other is Songjia Village, that is a man, after several exams, he also ran a school in the village, relying on teaching to earn some income to support life, if these two schools are walked, it only takes half an hour to arrive. He knew that he had also heard this from his father, and it depended on his master's teaching ability.

"When the land is implemented tomorrow, we will go and take a look, the most important thing is that the younger brother likes it."

"Yes, it's the younger brother who is studying, let him go and see for himself, and go whichever one he likes." Qiao Song thinks this idea is good, and only after comparing it can he know whether it is good or bad.

"Little brother, study hard when you go to the school, your biggest task is this, don't worry about the family, understand?" Qiao Xi rubbed his little brother's head and said with a smile.

"Okay." Qiao Bai also knows that it is useless for him to say anything, so it is better to study hard according to the arrangement of the eldest brother and sister, if the eldest brother can't pass the exam, then he will take the baton, and he will definitely give his sister a champion back, if the eldest brother is admitted, it is the best, he will keep up with the eldest brother, and strive to be admitted, if this is the case, his family can produce two champions, this is probably an honor that has never been honored! It's exciting to think about.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, let's go to sleep." Qiao Song looked at the darkening and dark sky, urging his younger siblings to go to sleep.

When he got up in the morning, Qiao Xi put on the silver and followed the eldest brother to Lizheng's house, and made it clear that he wanted to buy three acres of dry land in Lizheng's hands, the geographical location was quite good, just behind the wall of their yard, across the creek, if it was watered in the future, it was okay to directly intercept the water in the creek, no need to carry water.

Dry land is a little more expensive than wasteland, but it is cheaper than paddy fields or something, three acres of land is only fifteen taels, which is earned for Qiao Xi.

"Big brother, how long will you be off this time?" Yesterday patronized and said what she did this month, forgot to ask the eldest brother about the rest of the family, generally the eldest brother can rest for four days a month, half a month and two days a round, this time the eldest brother passed the children's test, I don't know if there are many holidays.

"For four days, the master let me have a good rest."

"Then I have to work hard for the past two days, big brother to help me/work to plow the land." The land that was originally used to build a house, she planted it while cultivating it this month, and some vegetables have grown into a lot, otherwise how can it be supplied to Juxian Building.

"What is this, you just command."

"Well, in the afternoon, I'll take my little brother to the two-month school to take a walk, and observe, as for the most important place to go, let the little brother decide, what do you think?"

"Well, go ahead, I'll turn the floor at home."

Qiao Xi first went to Qiao Siye's house, and asked him to drive the ox cart to her house in the afternoon, they were going to go to the school in the next village, Qiao Siye heard it, of course, it was a hundred promises, it was a fool not to make money, and Qiao Xi gave a very high price every time, much more than he usually earned, and the number of people who earned was less, and his cattle could also save a lot of energy.

made an appointment with Qiao Siye, Qiao Xi went home, and it was still early, so he also went to the field and began to turn the ground.

"Miss Xi, you're going to send Bai Boy to study in the school." Sitting on the ox cart, Qiao Siye chatted with Qiao Xi's sister and brother with a ride, otherwise it would be boring all the way.

"Yes, the younger brother has reached the time of enlightenment, and my eldest brother and I usually teach him at home, so I want to send him to the school as well." Qiao Xi didn't hide it and blurted it out directly.

"Then your eldest brother is not going."

"No, they all go to study, not seeking fame and fortune, just not being deceived in the future." Learning is not for fame and fortune, those are all false, if there is, of course it is good.

"Go all, then the cost is unbelievable." Fourth Master Qiao looked at the two of them with a surprised face, it seems that the Qiao family is really distributed, otherwise where would the money come from for the two boys to study. So many of them adults don't have the skills of a few of their children, and it's been a really bad day.

"It's fine." Qiao Xi smiled.
