A new chapter will be added over the weekend

=====

It was late at night when the Fan family father and son returned to Jiangwan Village, and as soon as they walked to the door of the house, the door suddenly opened, and Zhang Sanniang ran out of the yard, hugged her son, and cried excitedly.

"Lady, you know?" Fan Tiezhou asked in surprise.

"It's spread in the village, and Ning'er took the first place in the exam."

Zhang Sanniang wiped away her tears, got up and said, "There are many people who come to give gifts, and they have piled up a yard." ”

Fanning hurriedly walked into the yard and almost stepped on two roosters with their feet tied, ducks and geese beside them, and several large pieces of marinated bacon.

In addition, there was a bag of vegetables such as yams, radish, and winter melon, as well as a few baskets of fresh fish and a few bags of rice.

Fan Tiezhou's brows furrowed, "Mother Ning'er, who sent these things, did you write them down?" ”

"I remember it all! You'll write it down in a notebook later. ”

Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered something, slapped her face, and hurriedly said: "Look at me confused, you two haven't had dinner yet!" There's all the food, I'll go and warm it up for you. ”

Today, Fanning was really a little tired, and after a hurried meal, Fanning collapsed on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Fan Tiezhou discussed with his wife about his son's schooling, and when he heard that his son was exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees for the first year, Zhang Sanniang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Today I was still worried about this matter for a long time, Aunt Wang told me that Yanqing School costs twenty-five yuan for a year, and our family's savings are only a dozen yuan, and we have to think of borrowing money, or my family Ning'er is angry, saving us a lot of money."

"Yes! At that time, I was really relieved, but the main director of the academy would go to the school in two days. ”

"Why?"

Zhang Sanniang was surprised: "Isn't it January next year?" ”

Fan Tiezhou told the reason of the courtyard master, and Zhang Sanniang was silent.

Fan Tiezhou hurriedly said: "I think this is a good thing, it proves that Ning'er is much better than other children." ”

Of course, Zhang Sanniang has her thoughts, her husband is not only hard fishing, he doesn't earn much money, and he is often away from home, she has long wanted her husband to change careers.

This time Ning'er is an opportunity to study, Zhang Sanniang said slowly: "Ning'er wants to study, how lonely I am at home alone, or ..... Don't go fishing. ”

"How can we live without fishing?" Fan Tiezhou's mind didn't turn for a while.

"You can do something else! For example, you can go up to the mountains to collect medicine, you can farm, and for example, you can run a boat to transport passengers, didn't Uncle Mizugen let you go to the town to work with him last time? ”

Fan Tiezhou is also a little tempted, he can indeed farm, rent a hundred acres of paddy fields, and go to the boat to transport passengers when the farm is not working, and it is not less than fishing to earn less, although it is a little harder, but at least he can accompany the lady at home.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "You have to buy a canopy boat to send off passengers, I'm afraid that my family doesn't have that much money." ”

Zhang Sanniang saw that her husband listened to her words, and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly put her arms around her husband's neck to settle accounts for him.

"Our family now has 14 yuan ......"

"Isn't it only ten times?" Fan Tiezhou interrupted his wife's words.

"Didn't Ning'er give me four taels of silver last time, did you forget?"

"That's you, too!"

Zhang Sanniang's eyes widened, "Why can't it be counted?" The money my son gave me to earn, I took it for granted! ”

Fan Tiezhou was speechless, and said that he would help his son save and marry his daughter-in-law! Now it's going to be the money for her.

"Go on!"

"Isn't there fourteen dollars? Since you're not fishing, you can sell that fishing boat, right? ”

"If you sell it, you can sell it, but it's too old, you can only sell it for ten yuan at most, and last time Wang Jiaerlang wanted to buy an old ship."

"Ten times is ten times, then there are twenty-four times, and then sell the cloth I have woven in the past few months, and add the consistent money, this is twenty-five times, is it enough to buy a boat?"

Fan Tiezhou hesitated and said, "I asked last time, to buy a new awning boat, the cheapest will cost forty yuan. ”

"Stupid!"

Zhang Sanniang stretched out her finger and poked her husband heavily on the forehead.

"Who told you to buy a new ship, it's not the same to buy an old ship? Besides, your hands are so skillful, the canopy won't build it by itself? ”

Fan Tiezhou slapped his forehead, "That's right! How I didn't think of that. ”

Zhang Sanniang hugged her husband's neck and said with a smile: "One day in the future, if you die, I will say that you are stupid!" ”

Fan Tiezhou smiled, and began to think in his heart, buy a half-old passenger boat, brush it with tung oil, and build a tent by himself, which is about 25 yuan.

"Do the math and see if you can save five times!"

"What do you do with the rest of the money?"

Zhang Sanniang said: "Since you want to farm, then you must have a cow at home, I asked, the government is strictly controlled, the cow has not been expensive, and you can buy a big green buffalo for five dollars." ”

"Lady, I'm afraid that twenty-five yuan is just enough to buy a boat, or I will borrow five more yuan."

"Then borrow it! We'll be back next year. ”

While the husband and wife were thinking, they began to look forward to a new life in the future, and as they talked, they said that they wanted to give Ning'er another sister.

Zhang Sanniang kicked her husband lightly and whispered: "Death, go to bed early!" ”

Fan Tiezhou suddenly understood, "Sleep!" Go to bed! He got up and blew out the oil lamp.

．．．．．．．．．

Early the next morning, someone came to Fan Ning's house to congratulate and give gifts, Fan Tiezhou received him politely, sent away several groups of people, and there were more than a dozen chickens and ducks in the yard.

Villagers are more affordable in gift-giving, most of them are chicken, duck and fish, which are generally available to every family, and they can also get their hands on it, and this year's New Year's table will be rich.

Zhang Sanniang suddenly remembered one thing this morning, the five yuan to buy cattle can be solved.

She took two roosters and handed them to her husband, "These two chickens will be sent to Ning'er Grandpa later." ”

Fan Tiezhou was really surprised, the sun came out of the west today, and the lady actually wanted to send chickens to her father by herself.

Zhang Sanniang stretched her face and said: "This chicken is not given away for nothing, you have to get back the five money!" ”

"Why?" Fan Tiezhou scratched the back of his head, he was a little confused.

"You forgot the rules that your father set up himself, as long as his grandson is admitted to the school, each of them will be rewarded with five yuan, Mingren Mingli got it last year, and it should be given to Ning'er this year!"

Mingren and Mingli are twin sons of the second family, and they were admitted to the Changqiao Town Government School at the same time last year, and Fan Tiezhou also went to drink Xie Shi's wine.

Fan Tiezhou slapped his face, "Why didn't I think of it?" ”

"Then go quickly, get the money back, and we'll have the money to buy cattle."

At this time, Fan Tiezhou suddenly remembered Mr. Gu, no matter what, he was also the first Mr. Ning'er, and he should thank him well.

"Ning'er, mother, give me that goose, and I'll send it to Mr. Gu on the way."

Zhang Sanniang couldn't help laughing and said: "That goose was sent by him, what are you sending him back for?" ”

Fan Tiezhou scratched his head, there are so many strange things today, it has always been a student who gives gifts to Mr., why is it reversed today.

"Alright! Mr. Gu turned around and said, you call Ning'er, and I will take him to see Ah Gong. ”

．．．．．．．

Fanning gets up before dawn, the countryside does not have as rich nightlife as in the city, most of them go to bed early and get up early, and the lamp oil is not cheap, and going to bed early can also save some lamp oil.

He was so tired last night that he went to bed without packing his things.

Early this morning, he took out a few gifts from his bookbag and put them in a large wooden box.

Almost every boy has his own storage chest, and the old Fan Dull is no exception.

The treasures he had stored were several strangely shaped stones and two brightly colored shells, which had been thrown under the bed by Fanning.

The storage treasure box really stored treasures, the jade pei that Fan Zhongyan gave him, the purple jade bracelet given to him by the Son of Heaven, and the five gifts he got yesterday.

The most precious thing in this is, of course, the purple jade bracelet of the Son of Heaven, Fan Ning knows a little gem, this is not an ordinary purple jadeite, but the best in Pei Cui, called purple eyes.

There are eight in total, each cut to the size of a longan, and shimmering with a brilliant bright purple color, a gemstone that is not priceless, but also extremely valuable.

The purple agate gourd given to him by the master of Liu Yuan, although it is also very valuable, is too far from the purple jade bracelet of the Son of Heaven.

Fanning knew that it was not necessarily a good thing for his parents to see these treasures, so he thought about it, dug a hole in the corner of the wall, and buried the wooden box.

At this time, a mother's voice came from outside the door, "Ning'er, have you gotten up?" ”

"It's early!"

Fan Ning walked out with a smile, "Is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

Zhang Sanniang saw that her son was covered with mud, and frowned, "What are you doing in the house?" It's covered in mud! ”

Fanning scratched his head and said, "I just came back from the river and accidentally fell. ”

"How old is the child, you are still wrestling, hurry up and change your clothes, go to your father's house with your father, and see if he will reward you with five yuan today!"
