Chapter 77: Buying a Donkey (Part II)
Zhou Ziya personally handed over the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to each brother's hands, and asked them to keep them well.
Then looking at the cherished appearance of each brother, she felt a little sour in her heart, thinking that in modern times, reading is the same as eating, thinking about her childhood, and her family conditions were good. Parents are spoiled, small and ignorant, where do you know what to save, what pen to buy a lot, what schoolbag to buy a few good-looking, what stationery box to look at if you don't like it. I've even torn up a notebook.
But the only thing she was glad about was that she had penetrated this ancient world, at least she hadn't become illiterate.
Because the characters here are traditional characters, she still knows and can write, not the type of oracle bone inscription, otherwise she is a highly educated person who has become illiterate, so how can she be embarrassed.
As soon as Zhou Yanliang brought up the matter of buying a donkey, the old man immediately agreed.
"Yes, it should be bought, the children in the family go to school, and there is less labor. Tomorrow Dad will go to town with you to buy it back. ”
"Dad, aren't you going to take a few children to Master's tomorrow, it's still early, why don't you go to the town today?"
"That's right, seeing that my father is old, I can't remember it anymore. Today, today, go and see, buy back if you have the right one, and wait a few days to buy it if you don't. "Old man Zhou is very talkative.
But asked Zhou to give out the silver, but now her face is very dark, because Zhou Yanliang bought those paper and pens and took more than 20 taels from her hand, and now he wants her to take the silver. It's no wonder if you have a good face.
So immediately replied to the two fathers and sons, "Buy, buy, buy." You have to buy it for yourselves, and you have no money at home, so you can find a way to go to school, and you have taken as much as you have in me. How much more to take tomorrow. Now I still want to take the silver, but I don't have a mountain of gold here. ”
Old Man Zhou was so angry that his eyes widened, and he scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about, you can't buy a donkey, don't you want to do the five-spice dry business?" Do you think there is no income at home? ”
Zhou was so angry that he grabbed something from the bed and threw it over, scolding, "You dead old man, when did I say that I would not do the business of five-spice drying, you know to threaten the old lady with this matter, I tell you this time, no silver is no silver." Then she glared at her youngest son. Thinking in her heart, she had so much blood, and she had to let her youngest son give some silver this time, and she didn't want to let go.
Zhou Yanliang usually wants to please his parents, so he has a stake in the family, and he naturally knows the Zhou family best in this family.
He couldn't understand that kind of look anymore, sighed in his heart, calculated carefully, and felt that the silver would come out by itself.
Anyway, it is cheaper to buy a donkey than a cow, and it should be enough for six to eight taels of silver. He doesn't want to be tired and tired to grind, and he should use so many points of his own private room.
The most important thing is that I don't use it this time, with my mother's life, I don't know what means to use to force myself to hand over the silver, and I'm afraid that there will be more bleeding than this time.
"Dad, Dad, don't quarrel with your mother, it hurts your feelings. The son still has a little private room here, and the money will be taken from the son first. And the children in the family are studying, and the son's family is three stinky boys, taking advantage of the family. It is also appropriate to give some money now. ”
Zhou Yanliang is also smart, although this silver is going to be released, but the words must also be said beautifully, no, as soon as he said it, the old man was happy and felt guilty for him at the same time, and he loved him even more. As for the Zhou family, his goal was achieved, and his son gave out the money, which shows that his son is still filial. I'm also happy and will continue to love him.
