Chapter 62: All to School
At this time, the Zhou family has earned several months of dried spices, and the Zhou family has earned about eighty taels of dried spices a month. In a few months, he already has a family fund of several hundred taels.
Zhou Ziya didn't forget to let a few brothers go to school, it was raining lightly outside today, and the Zhou family gathered at home.
In the upper room, Old Man Zhou and Zhou were resting in the house, and Zhou Yanliang came to the upper room with his baby daughter.
"Hey, San'er is here. Xiaoya is also here, come and sit on Grandpa's side. Old Man Zhou sat on the kang and beckoned hurriedly.
"Master, what are you doing?" Zhou Ziya ran over directly, sat down obediently, and asked her father to do business in a while.
"Hehe, it's raining outside today, and I haven't done anything, I'm bored. Fortunately, our Xiaoya came obediently. ”
"Dad, I'm looking for something to discuss with you today." Zhou Yanliang spoke, but he glanced at his wife before he spoke, and imagined in his heart for a while, whether he would be scolded for a while.
"Come and sit, what's the matter?" Old Man Zhou asked strangely, and Zhou also stared at it.
"Dad, that's right, recently we have sold dried spices for some money. So I think that if you can't read and write in business, you can't count, but you will suffer a big loss. When the time comes, it will not be good for business. The children in the family are still young, so the son thought that it would be better to send a few children to study. If they are smart, they may be able to come back with a good test. Zhou Ziya gave her father a praising look. Zhou Yanliang saw his baby daughter's eyebrows and eyes, and felt a little funny.
"Ah, how much does it cost to go to school?" Old Man Zhou's brows furrowed.
"That is, how can there be any money in the family for them to go to school, no, there is no silver." Zhou screamed directly.
"Grandpa, grandma, in fact, it doesn't cost much silver to go to school, my father has inquired, a person only needs two taels a year, and the three brothers in the family are only ten taels of silver. Master, now the family can earn about eighty taels a month. It's only ten taels a year, which is very rare. What's more, in the future, our family will make more money in the soy sauce business. If the brothers don't admit their mistakes and don't know how to count, then how can they do business? Zhou Ziya hurriedly interjected, of course what she didn't say was that in addition to the tuition fee, the most expensive thing in school is pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, these things add up, a person will cost at least ten taels for one tael, and five brothers will cost at least fifty taels, anyway, let grandma agree first, and this matter will be talked about later.
"That's right, Dad, think about it, if the family business is big, it will definitely not be enough to have a son, and several children are older, let them learn well, and it will be good to manage the business in the future." Zhou Yanliang also hurriedly persuaded. He doesn't know now that his private room is being targeted by his baby daughter again.
Because Zhou Ziya thought that when the time came to buy pen and paper, she would go to her father to get some private room to use.
"Milk, you just agree, think about soy sauce will make a lot of money, unless, grandpa and grandma don't want to make soy sauce money." Zhou Ziya lowered her hand, and sure enough, when she heard this, the two who were hesitant just now immediately agreed. After all, the money earned by soy sauce is not comparable to this tuition fee at all.
"Okay, then send the boys in the family to school, but let them study hard, and don't waste this money." Zhou Laozi felt that it was also a very good thing that his grandson could read and learn calligraphy. He was not in a hurry to agree before, and it was also because of his wife and money.
"Master, don't worry, Xiaoya must be staring at a few brothers every day, if they don't study hard, Master will beat them."
Zhou Ziya took the opportunity to join in the fun, but she didn't expect that this thing would go so smoothly, it seems that it is also because she has an income at the bottom during this time, otherwise, she will definitely not dare to be so easy.
