After being away from home for a month, Li Laosi and the two boys were like arrows, and the carriage was on the main road, safe and flat, so they only rested for two hours at night.

The rest of the time, they've been on the road.

Jiayin sleeps when he is sleepy, eats when he is hungry, and does not feel too tired.

At three o'clock in the morning, the carriage turned onto the path of Broken Golden Beach.

Previously, the family had received a message from Ye Gongzi and knew that Li Laosi and the children were safe and sound, but everyone still couldn't help but worry.

Tao Hongying calculated that the hour was almost up, so she simply divided the errand in the back kitchen and squatted at the mouth of the valley.

Finally seeing the shadow of the carriage, she immediately ran over.

Li Laosi jumped down from the wheel, and greeted him with a smirk, "That, Hongying, I'm back." ”

Tao Hongying was so angry that she wanted to screw him twice, and when she saw her mother-in-law getting out of the car with her daughter, she could only glare at him fiercely, "I'll settle accounts with you at night." ”

After that, she went to hug her daughter and helped her mother-in-law.

"Mother, Fu Niu misses you! Fu Niu has brought you something delicious! ”

Jiayin hugged her mother, left and right, and she couldn't come with joy, coaxing Tao Hongying to blame her daughter, "You, it's the urinal with gold edges, and your mouth is good!" Say you miss me every day, you can't bear me, and when it's time to go out to play, you will never be left behind! ”

"Hee-hee!" Jiayin was weak-hearted, hugged her mother's neck, smiled and showed a mouthful of small white teeth, pretending to be stupid to the end, causing everyone to laugh.

The old lady asked, "How's the house, is there anything wrong?" ”

"No, mother, everything is fine, but everyone is thinking about you." Tao Hongying responded, and at this time, Jiayi and Liu Yang had already run into the valley.

After leaving for a month, the two boys are also very homesick.

Sister-in-law Liu pulled her son, and her eyes were red, but she didn't blame a word.

She is married to a dart, and what she eats is the food of the rivers and lakes, and she is used to the matter of separation and safe return, and she has a little more resilience and patience than others.

Liu Darttou was the same, patted his son and apprentice on the shoulder, and heard that they said that they were not injured, so they went to greet Li Laosi.

The villagers also surrounded the carriage at this time, Mrs. Li didn't say anything, pointed to the more than 20 pieces of fine cloth in the car, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is going on another expedition, before leaving, I thought about the village, bought so much cloth, let us pull it back." It is said to make a summer shirt for the elderly and children in the village. I persuaded him to keep the silver and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, but the Hou Ye refused. ”

Everyone laughed, "In the future, Master Hou will marry his daughter-in-law, and we will also help out with a piece of silver." ”

The village chief happened to come over, and when he heard this, he laughed and scolded, "You think that you have sold cold melons and made a fortune, and you have begun to learn to brag." ”

The villagers are all laughing, they have indeed been a little inflated lately.

During this time, the cold melons and muskmelons in the melon fields were pulled away by truckloads, and then picked off one by one and sent to the valley.

Although they can't count how much silver they have earned, they still remember it clearly.

Even if each of them doesn't have too much, there are always ten cold melons, which is thirty taels!

Silver is confidence, so nowadays everyone walks with wind under their feet, raising their heads and holding their chests high.

The village chief was helpless and opened his mouth to pick people up.

"The fourth child and the two boys have come back safely, don't worry about it, just do whatever you have to do. Tonight, wait for Mr. Two to calculate the general ledger and pay everyone again. ”

"Great, it's going to be paid again!" The villagers were all happy and cheered loudly.

The village chief glared at them, "Keep your mouth shut for me, don't be messing around and making people blush." The meat should rot in your own pot, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Everyone laughed and grinned, and then went their separate ways.

The village chief beckoned the Li family, "Hurry up and go back, Mr. Wen came last night and has been waiting." Mrs. Cui didn't go back, she was worried about you. ”

The twenty soldiers took advantage of this moment to come up and say goodbye to everyone, planning to go to Kyoto.

Naturally, the crowd couldn't let them go like this, so they pulled them to sit in the shade of the tree, ate a simple bite of food, padd their stomachs, and opened a big cold melon.

The turquoise skin, the red and bright melon pulp, and the sweet taste made all the soldiers full of praise and excitement.

This is a cold melon, I heard that it is a good thing given by the emperor.

In Kyoto, I am afraid that those nobles may not be able to eat, they can actually hold it in their hands and take a big bite!

The village chief greeted them with a smile, "Don't swallow the melon seeds, spit them out and keep the seeds." This year, this thing is too expensive, so let's just try it fresh. Next year, the village will plant cold melons on the river flats, and then I will take you to the fields to eat as you like. ”

"Okay, village chief, we remember, next year I will eat one by myself, hold and gnaw!"

A soldier who was not very old grinned and shouted, causing everyone to laugh.

The village chief waved his hand and promised boldly, "Next year, find a time to vacate the hot spring for a day, so that you can soak in the hot spring while holding and nibbling on the cold melon!" ”

When the crowd thought about it, they laughed even more happily.

Twenty people eat one cold melon, and one person is only one piece.

When they had vomited a bowl of seeds, they got up and continued on their way.

The Li family also returned to the village, and Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen were sitting in the shade of the tree in front of the Li family, and when they saw the carriage, they all stood up.

Li Laosi jumped out of the car, strode forward to salute, and said, "Mr. Wen, all the books are not bad, and they have all been brought back." ”

"That's great!" Mr. Wen patted Li Laosi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You guys have suffered hardship, haven't you?" Did you get hurt? ”

"No, there was a little trouble, but it was solved."

Li Laosi responded casually and began to move the books down.

Soon, all the books and things that Ye Gongzi bought were moved to the house.

Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's neck and showed her her new goodies, which made Mrs. Cui laugh.

Mr. Wen turned around and saw that his heart was complicated, and his eyes were a little eager.

Mrs. Li was worried about her grandson, so she asked, "Sir, there are really a lot of these books, when will Jiaren copy them alone?" Do you want someone to help? ”

Mr. Wen said with a smile, "I went to Guo's house a few days ago, and Mr. Guo heard that the fourth child has not come out of the mountain for a month, and he is also very worried. I took the opportunity to mention it, and he agreed.

"I will send these books to the academy and ask Mr. Peng to copy them together with more than 30 students in the same class. And these manuscripts will also be placed in the college for a year, and the students of those colleges will be able to read, which can be regarded as a reward for the hard work of the students! ”

Everyone in the Li family didn't react for a while, they just felt that it was a bit of a toss.

But Jiayin understood that Mr. Wen was building momentum for Jiaren.

In these days, the collection of books is more precious than gold.

What's more, the Guo family used to open a academy, and the books that the Guo family could bring with them when they fled for their lives were extremely precious and rare.

Even if Jiaren and his classmates help to copy, it is equivalent to reading through it, and they will definitely benefit a lot.

And these manuscripts, left in the academy for a year, even if they can only read but cannot copy, it will open the eyes of students and increase their reading.

If you meet a smart student, the kind that can be written silently after reading a few times, maybe you can leave dozens of copies for the academy.

The most important thing is that a year later, these books will be sent back to the Li family, and Jiaren will become the sweetheart of the academy.
