Chapter 39: Persuasion

The two of them haven't stayed in the county since the shop in the county was rented out, and she originally said that they were also in the county so she asked Li Bokang to go to the official school, but she didn't expect him to refuse. She understood that he didn't go to the official school when there was something at home before, but now that the family is almost busy, she is a little puzzled if he still doesn't go.

She wasn't a smart person herself, so she didn't know why he didn't go to school. But she could ask no, she asked him at the time: "Now that there is nothing to do at home, why don't you go to the official school?" I still remember what he said, "I want to rest at home for a while before I go, and I can also review my homework at home." And if we go to the official school, we won't see each other for a long time, so ......"

Hearing this, she felt that the real reason was not like this, and he did not tell the truth. Because he was also in the town before, he also went home twice a month, and they didn't see each other often. Besides, it's not like you won't come back if you go to the official school, and the official school also has a rest. So she felt that the real reason was not what he said, and there were other reasons in it.

She simply told him directly: "I don't believe this is the reason, you can study at home, but you can study with your classmates when you go to the school, and you will learn more if there are teachers in the school." And it's not the reason why you said that you haven't been able to see each other for a long time, and it's not that there is no rest in the official school, so you can go home when the time comes. Besides, I can also go to the county to see you occasionally, isn't it, anyway, there are houses in the county that are very convenient. After saying this, she paused again and said, "Bokang, you never lied to me, I really don't believe it's the reason why you don't go to school, can you tell me?" After saying that, her eyes kept staring at him.

Li Bokang listened to her quietly all the time, and there was no other reaction, until she slowly lowered her head when she finally said "You never lied to me". He could feel the look in his eyes, but he just didn't want to tell her the real reason why he didn't go to school.

It's true that the reason why he doesn't want to go to the academy is not this, maybe there is a little bit of it, but that's not the point. The main thing is that he himself knows that although they have earned five hundred taels from selling Ganoderma lucidum before, they have basically spent almost all of them in the month since they came back. If you go to a government school, you don't need to pay tuition, but the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone will be used relatively quickly, and the gift to your husband will cost a lot of money.

And there are usually when you're in the school, in case other classmates invite you or something.,It's impossible for others to invite you all the time and not come back.。 Yes, you can refuse, but you can refuse the first, second, and third times, and you can't keep refusing, so that others will be excluded. To put it bluntly, the main reason is that because the family has no money, he doesn't want her to work too hard for him anymore.

But he didn't want to tell her any of this, he was afraid that she would blame herself for spending all the money, and he agreed and understood everything she did. For example, she knew that she had been thinking about the mountain for a long time, and he could feel how important the mountain was to her, and it was also very important to himself. So he agreed at first, and he was trying to buy the mountain, and it was right for them to buy it when they had the money.

There is also the matter of buying a house, he also knows that it is for him, and it is a good thing that he wants to have a house in the county in the future, and the house is also in his name. So he thought that these things should be done, but he was afraid that if he told her the real reason, she would think too much and blame herself, so he didn't want to tell her.

But when he heard her say, "You never lied to me," his heart began to disintegrate, and he wondered if he was really right not to tell her why. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to tell her because he didn't want to lie to her.

After a long time, he said, "I just thought that my family didn't have much money, and it would be the same if I went to school next year, so I didn't tell you why." I just don't want you to worry, I don't want you to be tired anymore, I'm sorry. After finishing speaking, he also stared at her expression, for fear that she would blame herself and feel sad. But his worry was obviously unnecessary, for he saw her smile, and he really smiled.

Indeed, she didn't say anything about self-blame and sadness as Li Bokang was worried about, because she didn't think it was a problem. It's not that she doesn't care about him or money, but she feels that what she did before should be, and she won't regret spending so much money on her previous mountain and house purchase. It may be a difference in thinking, but what she thinks in her heart is that when she has money, she will have to buy some fields and real estate, and these things will not generally depreciate. As for the mountain, she must buy it, and the mountain that feeds her is also the first place she came here, and as long as she has money, she will definitely buy it. So she doesn't blame herself for being sad, Li Bokang's worries are unnecessary.

So she laughed, and after laughing, she said to him seriously: "Don't worry about this, our situation is much better now than before, isn't it?" It's true that we don't have much money now, but you still have enough, and I can't spend much money at home. Besides, don't you still have a gift of silver every month, we still have about thirty taels of silver at home, and it is enough for you to go. You, just go with peace of mind, work hard, and don't worry about these things all the time. ”

Looking at her serious and determined eyes, Li Bokang said after a long time: "I know, it won't be like this in the future." But I really don't want you to be too tired, I can support you now that I'm older. ”

She knew his feelings for her, but she was still touched when she heard him say "I raise you". So she said, "I know, I won't be too tired, I'm still waiting for you to support me, don't worry." After saying this, he said as if he had thought of something again: "By the way, and you can't lie to me in the future, not at all." I did a good job today, remember, don't lie to me, you will ...... if I know it" She didn't say it later, but the meaning was self-evident.

In this way, the reason why Li Bokang did not go to official school was solved, and their relationship was better and closer, but they had not yet pierced the layer of window paper. said that after going to the county government school on the first day of July, she was busy preparing things for Li Bokang in the next few days.

When they were still in the county, they went to the official school, and the official school can be accommodated, but they may need to pay some extra money if they eat. So they only need to prepare the quilts and clothes needed for the accommodation, and the quilts are ready at home, which she used to use when she was in the town, although she also wants to make new ones for him, but now it is too late. Clothes are also readily available at home, so there are not many that need to be prepared.

It's just that she wants to make him a new dress, so she needs to prepare, but fortunately, the fabrics at home are all there, and her manual work is a lot faster because of her skill. This time, she used the fabric that Mrs. Chen gave him last time in the county. It's June 29 now, and there are only two days left, so it's still very tight.
