Li Gengtian was very angry: "Are you a rich man when you are a father?" Your father is a little richer than the people in the village, where can he have spare money to open a shop for you? Besides, there is a little money to spare, which is also to be kept for your brother, and he will have to take the examination and the Jinshi examination in the future, and he must not use the money? This study is the most expensive, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, clothing, food, housing and transportation, which one does not cost money? It's just that he was lucky enough to pass the exam in one go, and the cost of going to Beijing to catch the exam is also a lot of money......"

Li Changyu interrupted him and said, "Dad, since you can calculate this account, you should understand that our family can't afford two people to study, even my brother is difficult." At present, I am studying in Qinghui County and living in my aunt's house, which is a small expense; When my brother really wants to go to Beijing to take the exam, you won't be able to make up the money. I just want to open a shop for my brother's good and no worries. Of course, it's true that I don't really miss going to school. ”

Li Gengtian couldn't say anything about his son, so he stood up angrily and circled back and forth in the house, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Li Changfeng came in, and he calmly said to Li Gengtian: "Dad, you don't need to persuade Changyu, he has already said that he doesn't want to miss it." Changyu has a good brain, let him toss, maybe he will be more productive than my brother in the future. ”

Li Changyu is actually a lively person, he has been sulking for the past two days, and he didn't even talk much, suffocating him, at this time, after listening to his brother's words, he jumped up from the bed, gave Li Changfeng a punch, and said happily: "This is my own brother." ”

Li Biaofeng looked at him helplessly and said, "Could it be that I am not your own brother as usual?" ”

Li Gengtian saw that his eldest son also supported Changyu's decision, and he was sad and angry: "I hope that my son will become a dragon, but you are ......"

His heart was sour, and tears were about to fall.

Thinking that day on the mountain, Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan also praised their two sons for their talents, which is incomparable. This little son is no longer studying, isn't this a slap in the face?

People miss it and have no conditions to miss it, either they have no money at home, or they don't have labor at home; This son was so tired that he let him read it, but he didn't read it.

Li Changfeng saw that his father was sad, so he hurriedly glanced at Changyu, and the two of them sat down with Li Gengtian in their arms, and Li Changfeng slowly enlightened him with words.

He whispered to Li Gengtian: "Dad, I'll be honest with you, it's not easy to study." Even if you pass the exam, it will only be more difficult in the future; Even if you get into the jinshi, it's still as difficult. Isn't the Hu County Order of Qinghui County from Jinshi born? You know that he has been a county magistrate for a few years, he has done his best for the people, and his official reputation is very good. But the people said that he was so useful, and he was very unsatisfactory in the officialdom. Changyu and I are not the kind of people who will meet the benefits, even if we are admitted to the Jinshi, it must be very difficult in the officialdom in the future. Why, then, did the two brothers follow the same path? Changyu doesn't like to study and take the exam, so let him do the side things to leave a way back for our family. ”

Li Gengtian had also read a few books, and after listening to his son's words, he was so stunned that he trembled his lips and asked, "Leave a way back?" Is it really that hard? ”

Li Changfeng nodded calmly and said: "Being an official may not be able to live well, because there are many people who have been beheaded by officials. We rural people only know that if we get a jinshi, it is very decent, but in fact, after winning the jinshi, the difficulty of officialdom is much more difficult than farming. Dad, our family is from the countryside, and we have had a good life over the years, but we can't let you and your mother live in fear in the future because your son has become an official. ”

Li Gengtian is also an understanding person, he pushed away his son's hand and said in a deep voice: "Dad knows." Dad let you study, but also for the sake of your future, not so that you can help Dad earn face. Since you have told your father the truth, of course your father can't force Changyu to go to school. If we are not officials, we can live well in farming. If it's not easy to be an official, I'd rather be a long wind than be a god. What's the use of scenery? It's not as good as you, so that dad can rest assured. ”

Li Changfeng saw that he had gone to the other extreme, and said to him with a smile: "I have already taken this road, so I naturally have to fight hard to be willing." Moreover, if I don't study, I really won't do anything else, and I can't compare to Changyu's ghostly thoughts. Besides, you haven't reached that step yet, what are you anxious about? I haven't even earned a lift right now, let alone a jinshi. ”

Li Gengtian smiled and nodded, he just said that, in fact, if his son really gave up, he would be reluctant. However, don't force Changyu to read it.

He turned his head and asked Changyu, "You just said that you opened a shop in Qinghui, have you thought about it?" It costs a lot of money to open a shop, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult for the family. ”

Changyu said with a smile: "Dad, are you really ignorant as a son, and you want to take out your old money to do business?" Although I have this idea, I am not prepared to spend more. I just want to start a small business, like the pig business that the Aoki family did last year. ”

Li Gengtian was a little surprised: "This pig is now expensive, and this business is ······."

Li Changyu hurriedly interrupted him: "I don't want to do the business of pigs going into the water, I mean to be the same as his family, and don't spend too much capital to do business." ”

Li Gengtian saw that his son hadn't started to do it yet, so he knew how to use his brain to think about it, which was much more appropriate than those who opened and did business without thinking about it thoroughly. He happily asked, "Then what have you thought of to do?" Say it, Daddy will help you figure it out. Although my father is from the countryside and has lived for decades, he has some knowledge. ”

Li Changyu said with a smile: "This matter is for my father to help me think about it." I thought, everyone in this city has seen everything, and there are many people doing business, so we can't compare to them. I can only do things that they don't have, that they haven't seen, and that don't cost much. After speaking, he looked at his father proudly.

Seeing his father's stunned expression, Li Changfeng glared at his younger brother and said, "Don't say it quickly, my father is busy, who has time to talk to you." ”

Li Changyu smiled: "Hey! Dad, do you think, if we buy and sell things in our village, the cost will be small, right? If you can't turn it around for a while, you can definitely pay the bill later. Isn't the acorn tofu in our village not available in Qinghui County? Even the spicy cabbage is sold by Chen Yu's family, and ordinary people will not do it. There is also this chrysanthemum tea, which is also not available in other places, no, this wild chrysanthemum must be there, but they don't know how to make it yet. I'm going to figure out how to do that. ”

Li Gengtian's eyes lit up, and he patted his legs and smiled: "That's right, these things are all produced in our village, of course, it's better to buy them from outside." Well, Changyu's idea is real, not like the brainless one who came up with it. ”

Li Changyu smiled: "No brains? I've been thinking about this for a long time, so why don't I think about it. Dad, I still have to ask Chrysanthemum what she did with this acorn tofu. ”

Li Gengtian hurriedly said: "Your mother will be fine, don't ask her." ”

Li Changyu said: "It's not to make tofu, it's to burn tofu." I think chrysanthemums will definitely be good in a variety of ways. Didn't you see her boiling this pig into the water to make a variety of dishes? Also, Aoki and Huaizi also kept asking me about Qinghui County, and I think they seem to want to do something, and I want to discuss with them to see if we can work together. ”

Li Gengtian immediately said: "These two babies are also brain-working, you want to talk to them more." ”

So he said Zhang Huai and Aoki's proposal to plant trees and raise fish.

Li Changyu's expression became serious, and he nodded and said, "Huaizi and Aoki are capable, but they never thought of going out to open a shop. If I open a shop in Qinghui County, and they take care of it in the village, wouldn't this business be done? You can't rely on your dad alone. I feel like they are indispensable for this, especially the chrysanthemum. ”

Li Gengtian nodded in agreement and said to his son: "Then you can go and think about it with them." You can't do this business without the people of the village. ”

After speaking, he stood up and said, "I'm going out to greet guests, don't nest in the room, your grandfather is still worried about you, go and take a look at his old man." With that, he went out first.

Li Changfeng smiled and said to his younger brother: "Are you satisfied now?" ”

Li Changyu smiled: "What are you satisfied with?" It's not the same as when you took the Xiucai exam, but it will be more difficult in the future. Let's compete to see who can run faster. ”

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "I can't compare to you, maybe I won't be able to pass the exam in my life, and then I will count on you to support me, a sour talent." ”

Li Changyu said: "It's not easy, if you can't do it again, you will settle the account, right?" Just let me be the bookkeeper. ”

Li Changfeng couldn't help laughing, and the brothers left the room together.

When he arrived outside the hospital, Li Changyu found Zhang Huai and Aoki who helped, and got busy with them, and when the guests dispersed in the evening, he chatted with them for a long time.

When Aoki came home at night, he told Chrysanthemum what Li Changyu thought.

Chrysanthemum's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was worried that no one was standing in front of Qinghui County, which was tantamount to completely pinching the sales link in the hands of others, and they farmers who relied on production and sales to make money would easily suffer losses.

If Li Changyu did business in person, it would be much easier.

She smiled and said to Aoki: "Brother, it's a good thing that Changyu opened a shop in Qinghui. But we can't rely on others for everything, and we have to make some calculations ourselves. This time, I'm going to change the taste of spicy cabbage; There is also pork, and when the pig is killed, I will work out a few cured meats with Liu Xiaomei.

The practice of these things must not be told to anyone. ”

Aoki smiled: "Then he is going to ask you about the method of acorn tofu tomorrow, and you are not going to tell him?" ”

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "Say, why don't you say it?" Otherwise, it will be moldy if you keep this method. I told him that the more tofu he sells, the more acorn flour we sell? However, it is necessary to negotiate with him, this acorn flour must be bought from the village, not provided by his father. ”

Aoki was surprised: "His father doesn't have that much acorn flour, so he naturally has to buy it from the village." ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "That is to say, if his family wants to go crazy for money and specially collects acorns to make it himself, then we can't do it?" I have to make a deal with him, I can't just care about my own wealth, I have to buy this thing from the village. Let the people in our village make money, and things will be easier to do in the future. After all, this mountain belongs to the village. "Min
