Chapter 27 is about child husbands
"This is the shoe I made for you, and I don't know if it fits? You take it back and try it, and if it's not suitable, let them bring me a message. I'm going to change it, too. Fang Yun took out the burden in his arms and carefully handed it to Zhiqi.
Zhiqi looked at the burden and felt warm in his heart, and before he knew it, his mouth was cracked to the root of his ear.
"Okay, I'll go back and try, and then let my little sister deliver a message to you."
"Well, that's good." Fang Yun saw that he had put the burden into his arms, and the whole person felt satisfied.
"Alright, it's not too early. I have to go back to help A-Niang cook, so you can go back quickly. Fang Yun pushed Zhiqi into the gate, and ran away with a puff of smoke.
"Slow down, don't fall." Zhiqi saw that she was running in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Alright, got it. Go back! Fang Yun turned around, waved his hand at Zhiqi, and walked slowly.
Zhiqi saw that Fang Yun was completely gone, and then turned around and entered the courtyard.
The days passed slowly, and Jingcheng was now able to get out of bed and walk. It's just that the old gentleman has been in a coma and hasn't woken up because of his serious injuries and his age.
After Li Defu saw that Jingcheng's injuries were stable, he returned to Dadong Village.
"Daddy, although we made some money selling flower baskets a while ago. But this money is not enough for our family at all. Zhihua put down the bowl, looked at Daddy Fang and said.
"Painting girl, although our family has been treating Jing Xiaozi and grandchildren recently, and it has cost some money to pay off the foreign debts owed by our family before. But in the end, there are still 240 taels of silver. Isn't that much silver enough for us to spend? "Grandma Fang doesn't understand, this is more than two hundred taels of silver. According to the fact that the people in the village only need to spend three to five taels of silver a year, their family's money can be spent on the children of Zhiqi to marry their daughters-in-law.
"Grandpa, do you think so too?" Zhihua looked at Grandpa Fang and them again.
Grandpa Fang dusted off the cigarette pot, and then spoke, "Painting girl, although I don't understand why you say that, you must have your reasons." Our insight is not as good as yours, and our vision is not as long-term as yours. In the future, if there is anything you want to do, just do it. Just to inform the family, find the family where you need help. There's just one thing, you can't do anything that violates the law and discipline and hurts nature and reason. ”
Zhihua's tears swirled in his eyes, and he calmed down for a long time before he said, "Grandpa, don't worry, Zhihua has written it down." Our family is rich now, hurry up and let my grandfather and my brother go to the school. ”
"It's urgent, we have to hurry. It seems that it will not take long for the children's test to be taken. Youwei has passed the children's examination in the early years. Although Zhiqi has not been to the school for so many years, he has also studied with his father for a lot of years, so it is better to try it this year. ”
"Daddy is right, I think so too. This kid has been learning from me for several years, and I'm going to try it this year. Father Fang patted Zhiqi's shoulder, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with his eldest son.
"Daddy, both of us have gone to study, what should we do at home?" Zhiqi was very worried, and there were two strong laborers in the family, him and Father Fang. The two of them are going to school soon, and there are so many things to do at home!
"You don't have to worry about this, other people can do the work at home. Besides, you can come back to work after school in the afternoon. ”
"That's what your grandmother said. Zhiqi, you follow your father to study hard, and don't care about the rest. You can't live up to the hard work of your family. ”
"What I'm talking about today has to do with Daddy and their reading. Although Daddy hasn't been to school for many years, Daddy has never given up studying all these years. With Daddy's knowledge, now he is just missing the name of a showman. Zhihua looked at Father Fang and said confidently.
Seeing that the little girl was so confident in herself, Father Fang stretched out his rough hand and rubbed Zhihua's head.
"Oh, Daddy, stop it! My hairstyle is all messed up by you. ”
"You little girl, when did you have a hairstyle?" Father Fang looked at the head of the chicken nest of Zhihua and unilaterally said that he was very satisfied.
Zhihua didn't know what to say, so he covered his head with his hands, and then continued, "Our private school here is just a showman, and to be honest, Daddy can't learn anything from him." If you want me to say, let's just let Daddy and Brother go to the school in the town. The masters in the town are all masters, and Daddy will definitely learn a lot from such people. ”
"The painting girl is right. Zhang Xiucai in the private school also came to ask for advice a few days ago, and he is half a promising student. He can't teach you, so I still have to go to the town, and the gentleman in the town is not comparable to the people in the village. "Grandpa Fang agrees with Zhihua's idea, but this traffic has become a problem." Painting girl, you want your father to go to the town to study, which is a good thing, but our family is too far away from the town, and they have to walk dozens of miles to and from school every day. After a long time, I'm afraid this body can't stand it! ”
"Grandpa don't worry, I've already thought of this. Didn't I say that our family needs to make money? It just so happens that Daddy and they are going to school in the town, so why don't we open a shop in the town. We can do business during the day, and at night Daddy and they sleep there, just watching the door. In this way, there will be no delay, and we also have an entry at home, so we will not sit on the mountain. Zhihua finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and his mouth was dry from tiredness.
"Here, drink some water." A white hand reached out in front of the picture.
I didn't look at the painting closely, so I just dried it in two mouthfuls.
"Still drinking?" Jing Cheng asked softly.
"Nope." Zhihua looked at Jing Cheng and shook his head blankly.
"Little sister, come back to your senses. You stared at Jingcheng with shining eyes like this, and you didn't know that you thought you were going to eat him. Zhiqin pushed Zhihua and laughed out loud at her stupid appearance.
"Ah, sister, how can you, a big girl, say anything about eating or not eating? You don't know shame either! ”
"Hmph, I'm not ashamed. Not only am I not ashamed, but I also want Grandpa to tell Brother Jing to be my father-in-law! Zhiqin looked at Zhihua's face full of arrogance.
Zhihua was anxious when he heard Zhiqin's words, and he said without thinking about it, "Sister, you are only twelve years old this year, how can you have a husband?" ”
"Why can't I have a husband. Sister Fang Yun is only thirteen, but she has already made a marriage with her brother. That's already famous, why can't I let Grandpa set Brother Jing'er? Zhiqin looked at Zhihua's face full of "I'm older than you, I'm proud".
Zhihua wilted as soon as he heard this, yes, this is ancient times, and there are child daughters-in-law. At the age of twelve, it was actually a bit late.
Hey? Wrong! Since Sister Ah can marry Jingcheng, then I can also set Jingcheng to be a child husband!
Jing Cheng actually listened to the two sisters bickering all the time, and when he saw that the topic was crooked to him, he didn't say anything, so he quietly watched Zhihua's reaction.
Seeing Zhihua and listening to Zhiqin's words, the whole person lost his spirit, and he couldn't bear it, so he was ready to comfort and comfort the little girl.
Jing Cheng was about to speak, when he saw a small body suddenly pounce on him. He didn't have time to see what it was, and reflexively hugged it. Only then did I find out that it was a painting, and it was not lost for a while, nor was it to continue to hold it.
When Jingcheng was in a dilemma, Zhihua had already made a decision for him. Seeing that Jingcheng hugged her, this girl quickly stretched out her little short hand and hugged Jingcheng hard, and the whole person was stuck in Jingcheng's arms.
"Sister, you're late, I've already decided to be my child husband in Jingcheng. You'd better find someone else. He's mine! Zhihua hugged Jingcheng and made a sound.
