Liu complained, expressing to Li Xin her dissatisfaction with Li Ming's refusal to make a big deal to publicize that he had been admitted to Xiucai.

Li Xin comforted Liu a few words and asked her, "Mother, where is Ming'er now?" ”

"I went to the school, and said that Mr. Gu had something to explain."

Liu is still very dissatisfied with Mr. Gu's "abduction" of his son to go out for study, and his tone is still a little impulsive when he talks about Mr. Gu.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Mother, Ming'er was able to be admitted to Xiucai, and that is also the credit of Mr. Gu." ”

Liu moved his mouth, wanting to refute two sentences, but he understood that what Li Xin said was right, so he snorted stupidly and stopped talking.

Since Li Ming was not there, Li Xin could only wait for him to come back and ask again.

Carrying his sister-in-law and two siblings on his back, Li Xin stuffed some silver to Liu's and said to her: "The family must have spent a lot of money on a house." Take this money girl, you are pregnant with a baby, make up for it. ”

Liu's face was happy, but he still pushed Li Xin back, and said: "I have money on my side, it's enough, your eldest brother and second brother will give me filial piety silver." ”

Liu said: "If you have this money, you can keep it yourself and save some private money for yourself." ”

Saying that, Liu looked left and right, but didn't see Guan Wen, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It stands to reason that you don't have a mother-in-law above, and now you don't even know where your father-in-law is, and you and the two people in charge of the family are in charge, and you don't need to hide too much private money." However, with some money in hand, it is easy to settle down in my heart, buy something, and do something. ”

Liu pushed the money into Li Xin's arms, supported his waist and said that he would go to the new house to have a look, and come back for lunch later.

Li Xin said to accompany her. Liu said: "You still stay here to help cook, and when your father and they come back, it will be time for lunch." ”

There were only Li Xin and her sister-in-law and two brothers and sisters in the stove, and the two brothers and sisters sat in front of the stove with Jiu'er in their arms to light the fire and keep warm by the way.

Zhang still talked about that topic. asked Li Xin if Shanzi really didn't get into trouble.

Li Xin laughed, and Zhang knew when he looked at her like that: "I said that it is impossible for that kid not to cause some trouble." ”

Zhang came over with a basket and asked Li Xin, "Sister." If he causes something, you can tell me 1510. ”

Li Xin avoided this matter and didn't answer, but asked Zhang: "Sister-in-law, does Shanzi usually run out to play at home?" He seems to be really domineering. ”

"This kid, if he is not afraid of heaven and earth, there is nothing to scare him." Zhang said that his eldest son also had a headache: "His father can't stop him at this time!" ”

Li Xin was taken aback: "Then why don't you bring back his temperament?" ”

Zhang waved his hand: "It's good that it's so easy to get it back." I've mentioned it to your eldest brother a few times, and your eldest brother has been saying that the boy has a good temperament. Dare to be brave and move forward, this is a real man. It's not until now that your eldest brother sometimes can't call him and say that he can't move him, and then he starts to pay attention to it. ”

"That'...... Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law ever move a stick against Shanzi? Li Xin asked cautiously.

Zhang shook his head: "Who is willing to beat him, your eldest brother was so angry once." got angry and wanted to beat your eldest nephew, but your parents immediately went to protect you. He is the eldest son, who in the family does not protect him? ”

Jiang said with a smile on the side: "Shanzi is a good boy, except for being bolder, there is nothing bad about him." ”

Li Xin coughed and laughed wryly.

Zhang pulled Li Xin and asked, "Sister, tell me, he has been with you for half a month." What did you do? ”

Zhang muttered: "I also want to say, you will definitely send him back to me in two days, you are so gentle, you must be angry with him...... I didn't expect you to bring him back when you came back today. ”

Li Xin scratched his head, wondering if it was not good to talk to Zhang about Shanzi's education at this time.

After all, her eldest brother is not here, and her second brother and sister are still sitting here.

I thought about it. Li Xin shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything, I just played with Yang'er and Awen's nephew every day." He also made a few friends in the village. ”

Li Xin said vaguely, and Zhang will also be skeptical.

But seeing that Li Xin had already started to pick up the lunch at noon, Zhang didn't want to ask too much, so he chatted about other housework, chatting and doing things at the same time.

After having a meal at noon, Li Ming came back after another night.

Probably because he won the show, Liu felt that he couldn't take out the clothes that had been repaired, so he changed him into a new clothes, a clean and tidy cotton robe, which looked like he was refreshing and refreshing when worn on Li Ming, standing there like a bamboo repair.

Seeing that this child has grown into a half-sized guy, he will be able to say goodbye in two years.

Seeing that Li Xin was also at home, the faint smile on Li Ming's face became a little thicker.

"Sister, are you back?"

"Hmm." Li Xin nodded and asked softly, "Went to school?" What did Mr. Gu say? ”

"Didn't say anything." Li Ming replied: "Let's pack up and prepare, and gather at the entrance of the town early the day after tomorrow." ”

Li Xin nodded, but Liu suddenly became anxious.

"It's not a few days before the New Year, why can't you leave after the New Year?" Liu glared at Li Ming: "Anyway, I also sacrificed to my ancestors during the New Year, and told my ancestors that you have a future, and it will not be too late for you to leave!" ”

Li Ming said helplessly: "Mother, this matter was decided early in the morning, so many people, you can't rearrange it for me alone, right?" ”

"Why not? You are our old Li family......"

"Mother!"

Li Ming suddenly interrupted the Liu family, not wanting to hear anything from the Liu family's mouth, such as "the first showman" and "the glory of the ancestors".

Liu muttered, very dissatisfied with Li Ming's attitude.

"The wings are stiff and about to fly, and your wife is not happy to listen to what I say."

Li Ming sighed and said, "You have already said these words one hundred and eighty times, but you can't say them again." ”

"What's the matter, do you think your mother and I have a broken mouth?" Liu was very unhappy.

Li Ming pointed to her stomach: "Don't you want to be a sister here?" If you keep saying this, what will my sister do with you in the future? ”

Liu immediately shut up, reached out and gently stroked his stomach.

If she is really a girl, she can't be allowed to develop a problem of liking to talk. Who marries a daughter-in-law and doesn't want to marry a demure and gentle person......

Seeing that Liu was silent, Li Ming had a smile on his face.

Li Xin asked him to put his things down and sit in the main house, and only after he sat down did he ask him, "I asked you about the last time I came, how are you inquiring?" ”

Li Ming took a sip of tea and said, "It's good to inquire." ”

"How?"

"Mr. Gu has recommended a total of four gentlemen, let me learn from you, sister."

"Four?"

Li Xin was a little surprised.

Li Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Of these four gentlemen, two of them are from the village, and they opened a school in the village. There are also two in the town, who were originally employed by a certain family's teachers, and their food, housing, and wages were all given by the owner, and by the way, they opened a private school, but the owner wanted to find a few classmates for their children to study together. In terms of money, it is actually about the same, maybe the former will be slightly higher. ”

Li Xin nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "The town will not consider it, and those who specialize in teaching to other families must be taught by the children of the owner." And I'm afraid that if I go, I will be bullied by the owner. Besides, this always gives people the feeling of being under the fence, which is not very good. ”

Li Ming nodded: "I think the same way, one of them is said to be stingy and doting on children, although Mr. Teaching has good knowledge and character, but Mr. Gu also said that it is best not to go to this house." ”

"Then let's focus on telling me about the gentleman in the village." Li Xin said.

Li Ming said: "The two gentlemen in the village are also talented people who have repeatedly fallen behind, one has given up, and the other is still insisting on trying every three years. One gentleman's surname is Qu, and the other gentleman's surname is Fu. Mr. Qu's school is on the way to the town from the west side of Lotus Village, sister, you may not have been there before; Mr. Fu's school is located in the northeast of Xiahe Village. ”

Li Xin pondered the place and said, "Mr. Qu's school is close to the town, and it is not far from Lotus Village. Mr. Fu's school is not next to the town, but in the northeast corner of Xiahe Village, which is also next to Lotus Village. ”

Li Ming said with a smile: "I told Mr. Gu that the children of Lotus Village were looking for a school, and he told me about the gentlemen in these two villages. The gentleman in town is in passing. ”

"Mr. Gu is really thinking." Li Xin sighed, and asked Li Ming again: "Then Mr. Qu and Mr. Fu, do you know each other?" Tell me a little bit about the specifics and I'll make a good decision. ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "Mr. Qu is the Xiucai I said who has given up the examination, and he is in his early thirties, and he is not more than forty, and he is hearty and generous." I have met him a lot of times, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Gu, but Mr. said to me that Mr. Qu is a little arrogant, although he can see the world, but sometimes he is also very persistent. ”

Li Xin wrote them down one by one, and asked Li Ming again: "What about Mr. Fu?" ”

"Mr. Fu is an old man in his fifties, and because he has been burrowing in the pile of books all year round, studying books hard, he already has a lot of gray hair at this time." Li Ming said: "Mr. Fu and Mr. Gu have a little bit of a bad deal, Mr. Gu said that he is so old and persevering to prepare for the triennial government examination, three years after three years, time has slipped by." ”

"Then why did Mr. Gu recommend Mr. Fu to you?" Li Ming asked curiously.

Li Ming said with a smile: "I said to Mr. Gu, sister, you want to find Mr. to be enlightened." Mr. Gu told me that although Mr. Fu has never given up the government examination, which seems a little pedantic, but his basic skills are solid, and if he is only enlightened, he will definitely be able to let the child learn more complete theoretical knowledge. Mr. Fu is a bit strict, unlike Mr. Qu, who turns a blind eye and is more than enough to enlighten the child. ”

Li Xin nodded thoughtfully, and Li Ming smiled: "It depends on your sister, which gentleman to choose." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether Mr. will accept them as children's students." ”
