The family was in trouble.

At this time, Xiao Leshi came over with hot water and cakes, "The cakes are here, Sanya, Zhengning quickly eat some to cushion his stomach; I'll go out and buy some meat and come back later, and I'll have a good meal in the evening. ”

"Old man, come and sit; We've got your opinion on something. Old Man Xiao pointed to the location next to Sanya.

Xiao Leshi looked stunned, first went to see her husband, and then glanced at her daughter.

Ming Wu nodded at her, Xiao Le's heart was a little calm, and he sat down beside her, "Daddy, what do you need to ask for my opinion?" ”

Dean Fan didn't agree to accept Sanya as an apprentice, and recommended her to his mentor; Now, Dean Fan's mentor has sent a letter asking Sanya to go to the capital to apprentice. Xiao Zhengning explained.

"Are you going to the capital?"

Xiao Zhengning bowed, "Yes, Sanya is still young, and we don't feel at ease when we go to the capital alone; I can't leave here, my father and mother are old, and it's inconvenient to go. ”

"I'll go." Xiao Leshi was categorical, "It's just that after I went to take care of Sanya, my father and mother had no one to take care of me; I have to trouble my younger sister and second brother, I'm not at home, and I can't take care of my two children. ”

Old Madam Xiao looked as usual, not surprised by her choice.

Old man Xiao said: "I think it is most suitable for me to go, although I am old, my body is still quite tough; Le's is a woman's family and Sanya go out together, it's not safe, I'm an old man, it's most suitable to take care of Sanya. ”

"Where are you going, can you cook for Sanya, or can you wash Sanya's clothes?" Old Lady Xiao's face was slightly gloomy.

"Dad, you're old, and it's not appropriate to go back and forth; I went to take care of Sanya, I could do her laundry and cook, and I was also steady. "The sons are taken care of by their grandmothers, and Sanya must always have someone who cares about her.

Therefore, she is the most suitable as a mother.

Xiao Zhengning was reluctant, and it was inevitable to be sad, "Le's going is the most appropriate, but this one; We haven't seen each other for a year or two. ”

Xiao Leshi lowered his eyes, how could he be willing to give up his husband and son.

"That's it, just go to Le's, and the boss will go to the county seat to buy a house and go with him; On the one hand, it is to protect them, and on the other hand, it is to let Sanya study with peace of mind. Mrs. Xiao silently counted the money in her hand, "When you get to the capital, you have to have a place to stay, and you have to buy a house; has a home, and Kang Kang Pingping can also use it to participate in scientific research in the future, and he will not lose money. It's just that I only have about 100 cars in my hands, and it's not enough to buy a house. ”

"Daddy, your second elder's money is kept for your own use, where can we as juniors ask for your money; The money Sanya has earned in the past two years is in our hands, and it should be feasible to buy a small yard together. Xiao Zhengning hurriedly refused.

After the separation, the money was not handed over to the two old men, but they would give some filial piety every day; The money is in the hands of their husband and wife, and now they can calculate it carefully, in addition to the expenses on the road and the expenses when they get to the capital, it is the money problem to buy a house.

Old Man Xiao and Old Lady Xiao were full of sadness, and after watching their husband and wife take Sanya out, Old Lady Xiao spoke heavily.

"After all, it's useless for us to be parents, how good it is to buy a house! What should I do if I don't have enough money, I can't let their mother and daughter rent a house to live in. ”

"Don't think about it, they have plans for both of them; In the past two years, Sanya should have earned a lot, and there is money to buy a house, but it is sad to buy a house. "Money is not enough after all.

Mrs. Xiao said, "That's not good, I'll go and bring the money to them together; Poor families are rich, and it is not okay for children to suffer outside. ”

Just do what you say.

The old lady went back to the house and took out a clay altar, and when she arrived at the hall, she opened the jar and took out small cloth bags; There were six of them, and when I opened the cloth bag, it was full of broken silver.

"We have too little money, and we knew that we would have given less money to the second child; It's good to let Sanya have more money outside. ”

Old Man Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, his family background is like this, if it weren't for Sanya's real struggle; They don't even have this bit of family background, most of these silver coins are filial piety money given by the boss, the second child can't give a few copper plates a year, his family is cultivating a scholar, there are many places to use silver, and they can't ask their son to do what to do as an old man.

"Give them first, and if it's not enough, they can only make it up; We're old and useless. "The old man wants to go out to work, but there are two children at home, so it's not a shame for his children and grandchildren to go out to work!

In ancient times, people regarded filial piety as greater than the sky, and there were talents and children in the family, and they took over the old people and went out to work; Don't be said to be unfilial?

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded helplessly, poured the broken silver into a piece of cloth, picked it up, walked out of the hall, and shouted outside the big house: "Boss, you come out for a while." ”

"Here we are."

Xiao Zhengning walked out quickly and asked suspiciously, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

Just separated.

"Give." The cloth bag was stuffed into her son's arms, and Mrs. Xiao said: "We can't do anything, we only have this silver in our hands, and we will hold it for Sanya; The poor family is rich, and the rest of the money has to be organized by you and your wife, and we can't help it. ”

"Mother, I really don't need to." The cloth bag was stuffed back again, Xiao Zhengning's heart was warm, parents always pay more for their children, "You and your father both know that Sanya makes a lot of money writing scripts; In the past two years, we have saved a lot, enough for the two of them, and if it is not enough, I will ask Dean Fan to send it to the capital every month, and finally I will not let their mother and daughter suffer in the capital. ”

Mrs. Xiao confiscated it, "We don't have any silver at home, so we have it for Sanya; It is also a part of our heart to be a grandmother. ”

"Then you don't need to be so much, just give some pocket money."

"Say to Sanya, give it to Sanya." Mrs. Xiao didn't take it back, and in the end, Xiao Zhengning could only accept it.

Holding a bag of broken silver back to the house, Xiao Zhengning showed the things to his wife and daughter, and said to his wife: "Mother gave it." ”

"Let's put it aside, and when we leave, you can return the silver to your father." Xiao Leshi and Ming Wu sat together, with a big box in front of them, "You have an income every month, and the money you spend is basically taken from your monthly silver; Sanya has saved most of the money; In two years, I also saved more than 2,000 taels, and went to the capital to see what the price of the house was, and I saw that I could buy it; As for the two of us, I can go and do laundry work to earn money. ”

The family is planning for each other, and they all want to do their part to reduce the burden on the family.

Ming's wife sat cross-legged on the stool, "Mother, you are willing to accompany me to the capital, and my daughter must be filial to you; I can't let you go out to work, I recently wrote another book, and it should be no problem to ask Master to help me out after I go to the capital to apprentice. Dean Fan said that the master is a Beijing official, and this little thing will not be difficult for him. ”

"If you say it, just let your father help and return it to your master, be careful that your master dislikes you for not doing your job." Xiao Leshi tapped the tip of his daughter's nose, after all, he was happy, and it was actually easy to see whether his children were filial piety.
