Zifu had to say that he went home yesterday and found that the paperweight was gone, and the family had been to Da Mao and their brothers in the morning, and today I saw an identical one in the grocery store on the street, and asked the owner of the grocery store for a long time to say that someone sold it to him yesterday afternoon.

"As soon as I said this just now, Ermao immediately cursed, I was sure that Ermao stole something, and Ermao's silver was only sold for a hundred yuan, and it would be a pity if it was too late and might be bought by someone." Zifu continued.

The old man was so angry that he gave Ermao two feet, Tian quickly protected Ermao when he saw it, the old man gritted his teeth and scolded: "You also protect, for him to eat, for him to drink and for him to study, you look at what he has done, stealing things to the house, you don't learn well at a young age, and one day your legs will be discounted in the future, I see how you will protect it then?" I'm afraid I can't find a place to cry. ”

The old man took a breath and said to Zeng Ruixiang: "Hold him well, don't let him go out all day long, beat him when he should beat, scold when he should scold, I have something to bear, in short, he is not allowed to go out, I will pick him up when the time comes." In the afternoon, I sent him over to write. In short, you are not allowed to join forces to deceive me, there is such a big thing in the family, you all want to hide it from me, this child is not strictly disciplined, and he will definitely take a detour in the future. Then he said to Tian: "You are not allowed to get used to him anymore, and you are not allowed to give him a piece of pocket money." ”

He said to Da Mao Sanmao again: "If any of you don't want to study, just go home for me, Lao Tzu doesn't have all those grains to feed you bastards." The two of them complied.

Zeng Ruixiang took Zishou and Da Mao back to the school to practice calligraphy, Zifu took Zilu, Ziqing, and Zixi home directly, Ziqing and Zixi jumped along the way, humming a small song, "Qing'er, so happy?" ”

"That's, big brother, you're too powerful. Although our family has lost 500 yuan, I think Ermao should go home in a few days, and my father and mother must be happy. Ziqing felt that her eldest brother's young age was really not to be underestimated, and he looked kind and gentle on the surface. There are really a lot of ghost ideas in the stomach, and a simple sentence will reveal Ermao's original form. Typical black belly. This kind of person does not go to officialdom, it is simply too burying talents.

After saying that, five days later, Ermao couldn't bear this kind of life like being in prison, and finally had a big fight with the old man, ran home, and said that he wouldn't read this ghost book anymore.

Ziqing listened to Zishou talk about all this at the dinner table. At that time, the Shen family had not returned home, and Ziqing watched Zishou jump to his feet and shout in Ermao's tone: "Kill me, I won't read this ghost book." Ziqing hugged Zixi and almost laughed.

The next day, Shen took the child home, and after dinner, the family laughed in Shen's bedroom. After a while, Zishou went back to the room to practice calligraphy, and Ziqing read a book. While telling Zixi a story. Shen was coaxing Ziyu to sleep, and when he heard Zeng Ruixiang say that Ermao was finally gone, he asked the reason with a smile.

Zeng Ruixiang said the paperweight in detail, "I didn't expect Fu'er to be so witty, not only spent 500 wen to buy the paperweight back." also let Ermao take the initiative to go home, this child's future creation will definitely be greater than mine. Lu'er has relatively more responsibilities, and her talent for studying is also poor, so she will stay by her side in the future, and she will have no worries about food and clothing while guarding her family's property. Qing'er is smart. It's a pity that it's not a boy, and she doesn't have to worry about her future life with you and me. The remaining few are still small. I can't see it. ”

"Dad, why don't I have to worry about you? How old am I? You just say this, not that you are partial, but that I don't have to worry about it. Ziqing asked with a pout.

"Look at you, what do you say in front of your children? I don't pay attention to it. Shen glanced at her husband.

Zeng Ruixiang looked at Ziqing, and Ziqing hurriedly said: "Dad, mother, I took Zixi to sleep, you talk slowly." ”

After Ziqing left, Shen pondered for a while and said: "According to what you say, I still have to listen to Ziqing, buy a few more shops and paddy fields, the silver is dead at home, and there is at least one income every year when I buy shops and paddy fields." In the future, the children will be separated, and they will not have great ability, at least the rent collected will be enough for them to live a slightly richer life. I thought that even if our children don't have great ability, they are also self-contained, and they will never lose their family. ”

The couple discussed the housework and talked about some gossip, during this time, because of Shen's good mood and proper diet, Ziqing finally learned to milk goats and cook a big pot for his family to drink every day, so Shen's complexion is much more ruddy and white than before the separation, and the person looks five or six years younger, and his clothes are naturally stronger than before.

At this moment, Zeng Ruixiang looked at his wife with a pink face under the light, and after a few days, he didn't have the heart to chat, put down the curtain, and only listened to Shen's words: "I don't want to have any more children." ”

"According to you, if you say you don't give birth, you won't give birth, anyway, if you conceive a child, I will suffer with it, it's better not to give birth, we also have six children, I will guard you every day." After a wheezing sound, Zeng Ruixiang came out and brought a basin of hot water in.

The next day, Zeng Ruixiang went to the school refreshed, Shen just sent away the Tian master who pulled the eggs, this year Ziqing raised almost a thousand chickens in the back mountain, the chicken woman and the steer each accounted for half, basically picked up a basket of eggs a day, Shen did not have much time to run to the city to deliver eggs, so he said to Master Tian who drove the donkey cart at the street to send eggs, send eggs back in two days, and Shen went to check out at the end of the month. Shopkeeper Zhou is an old friend, so there will be no trouble, and now he can earn more than ten taels of silver every month by selling eggs. Master Tian is to pull people to send eggs, and every time you ask for a copper plate.

It is said that as soon as the Shen family sent Master Tian away, he saw Chunyu and her husband coming in a menacing manner, and stepped forward to ask: "Second sister-in-law, you have a good mind, my Ermao can finally find a place to study, my father and second brother have no opinions that day, and they promised well, what trick did you use to drive away my son?" ”

"Chunyu, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, don't say that I am still your second sister-in-law today, how can you be so rude to me? You can't tell me about this, you can tell your father and your second brother to go. Ask your son what he has learned and what he has done. Don't look at other people's stupidity. I have something to do, so I won't invite you into the house. After saying that, Shen closed the door.

Chunyu and her husband looked at each other at the door, Chunyu muttered: "When did my second sister-in-law change, I used to remember when I didn't separate the family, how my mother and sister-in-law made things difficult for her and didn't squeak, Zifu They couldn't eat enough and she didn't dare to speak, knowing that my father and mother had helped us with food, I didn't see her say a word, could it be that my second brother was not at home and pretended to be honest?" ”

"Of course it's different now, she can call the shots after the family is separated, and she has money, who are she afraid of? You don't see that your second brother's current family eats and wears, which is better than our New Year. Look at the things in that room, which one is not worth a penny, and what kind of glass window there is, we have never heard of it, and we don't know how much silver. Such a good fine gauze, people don't make clothes, what curtains are used to hang them. According to me, let's not offend her, coax more, leaking through our fingers is enough for us to live for a while. The couple deliberated and left.

Anyway, Chunyu and his wife went to the old man, and the old man gave them a lecture, and the two of them nodded like chickens pecking rice, and went back in disgrace. Ermao's student career is completely over. (To be continued)
