Interpersonal communication, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and pre-exam preparation, these probably add up to save some of the money and cost thirty or forty taels of silver, and a little more relaxed cost fifty taels.

That is, the price at which it was sold at the beginning.

Xie Zhiyan's goal at this stage is to earn fifty taels of silver and solve the problem of rushing for the exam first.

Otherwise, what's the use of a splendid article, it is difficult to move an inch without silver? In ancient times, the poor Xiucai really did all kinds of tricks for money, some married a rich merchant girl, relied on the support of his wife's mother's family to continue his studies, and there were also rich people to solicit sponsorship, which can be regarded as a kind of upfront investment, in short, it is sad and funny.

The first one has passed, he has a pity, the second one is very risky, this is a kind of kindness in the eyes of the world, and you need to repay the favor when you soar in the exam, otherwise this is a stain for a lifetime.

This person who supports you, once he is not satisfied, can kill you at any time in terms of character and morality.

So even if this road can be taken, Xie Zhiyan doesn't plan to take it.

From now on, there are still five months to go, and the officials of the embankment project can continue to do it, and the five months' salary and benefits are less than five taels of silver.

The business of copying books should continue to be done, the owner of the bookstore saw that his font had made great progress, and he was already going to increase the price, one is 300 texts, but copying books is more spiritual, not just copying a book, and the handwriting must be clear and neat without ink spots, otherwise it will not pass.

You can only have two books a month, and you can earn a total of three taels of silver.

The idea can only be hit on the mountain, there is no way to determine at present, until the earth is rejuvenated, before that, he has to inquire whether the pharmacy accepts it, and what the specific price of these medicinal materials is.

"It's a pity, you remember the position just now, let's come back next time. ”

Gu Xixi's sense of location memory is very strong, and Xie Zhiyan gave her a task in order to encourage her.

"Well, I remembered the third brother. ”

Gu Xixi thought back to the geographical location and the distribution of trees around her just now, nodded in agreement, and just as she turned around, suddenly there was a sound of fluttering wings behind her.

"Oops!" she let out a low cry and turned around to kick, not daring to look at it and plunged into Xie Zhiyan's arms.

She was afraid of encountering some legendary beast, and suddenly, Xie Zhiyan's chest began to vibrate.

"Hahaha, it's really amazing for my family. ”

Xie Zhiyan shook his head in admiration, watching the hungry pheasants behind him come out to find food, but he was kicked and fainted by Gu Xixi, and he just wanted to get up from the ground and fell down, which was really happy.

Gu Xixi also turned around, and was really surprised.

But she thought more thoughtfully, with pheasants, the third brother can have a good meal before leaving!

Now the delicious food at home is close to the sister-in-law, even if no one says so, it can't stop her from being able to get started directly with what she wants to eat...... Reading is so hard, how can it be good if the third brother's smart brain is boiled out.

Thinking so, Gu Xixi stepped forward and hurriedly kicked the pheasant twice, kicking it to death completely.

Only then did he reach out and pick it up and throw it into the back basket, afraid of being seen, he grabbed two handfuls of hay and put them on top to cover, "Third brother, let's go, let's go home, there are still some dried mushroom fungus vermicelli at home, I'll stew chicken for you to eat, and paste a pot of corn tortillas, it's fragrant!"

I don't know if it's because the picture described by Gu Xixi is tempting, or if I'm really hungry, Xie Zhiyan's stomach actually growled.

He was stunned for a moment, and was heard by Gu Xixi, looking at her covering her mouth and wanting to laugh and holding back, Xie Zhiyan reached out and rubbed her face heavily.

"That's what you said, anyway, you can distribute the chicken you beat, and I'll look for you when the stew isn't fragrant!"

Speaking of distribution, Gu Xixi immediately reflexively thought that this was Xie Zhang's work, or the privilege of the sister-in-law, but ...... The third brother is right, this is the chicken she beat and she kicked, and she should distribute it!

The two men walked to the river, and neither of them mentioned the fish in the river, and strode straight home.

ran into Xie Zhang's scolding head-on, only to see Xie Zhang's thigh patting his thigh and being indignant.

"I've never seen anyone's daughter-in-law lazy like this, what's wrong with you being pregnant with a child, didn't the old lady still cook and cook and work in the fields when she was pregnant with their brother?

If it was usual, she didn't need to scold at all, she only needed a look, and Sister-in-law Xie was already panicked, and she didn't dare to let go of a fart when she was buried in work.

But now, she has obviously been scolding for a while, panting with her waist crossed, but Sister-in-law Xie's house is quiet, and there is not even an echo.

At this time, her third son and the newly appointed daughter-in-law came into the house happily talking and laughing, can they not be dazzling?

"I said, I ran away early in the morning, I don't know if your man is leaving?

Xie Zhang's words were ugly and harsh, it was just a personal attack such as being lazy and not working, but now it directly rose to an attack on moral character, which suddenly made the smile on Gu Xixi's face solidify.

That's the third brother's mother, no matter how she scolds her...... She deserves it.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xie Zhiyan stepped forward to block in front of Gu Xixi, looking at Xie Zhang's face with doubt, "I'm not going to the river for a stroll, I'm tired of reading and relaxing, but mother, you also know that your son is weak, and if you go out by yourself, if you slip down-"

Xie Zhang's pupils dilated instantly, and his face was full of fear.

"That's why I insisted on pulling my sister out with me on this cold day, in case I slipped and fell, she could pull me. Mother, are you right?"

"Hmm...... It's the same thing, I said the third brother, you can call your eldest brother and second brother to accompany you next time you go out for a walk, they don't have more strength, it's a pity where the girl is the top of the matter, it's enough to sew and mend and cook a meal at home!"

Xie Zhang was reluctant to admit that he was wrong, and said with a dry mouth.

"Then when did you say that the eldest brother and the second brother gave their mother wild meat?" Xie Zhiyan asked.

"They're as stupid as a lump of stone...... What do you mean by that?" Xie Zhang suddenly came to his senses and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's still smart and smart, and you can guess it. My head melon is so easy to use, it's all with my mother," Xie Zhiyan didn't forget to pat Xie Zhang's ass for a moment, "Mother, look, this is a pity for the girl, all the way back to stew chicken and paste cakes to honor my mother, I can't pull it!"

"Oh, you stinky boy is still here to make fun of your mother!"

Xie Zhangshi lifted the dry grass and took a clear look at the pheasant, although it was a little thinner, but it was meat, pheasant meat!

Immediately smiled with a smile on her face, "I'll just say that you are capable, my mother was in a hurry just now, don't take it to your heart, I don't want you to go to my heart, my mother is afraid that you will freeze out outside! In the future, you two can play as long as you like to play outside, go out and go around, ah!"
