Chapter 272: Considerations
Li Shi could think about it, but after Su Xiaomu was moved, he had to think about the rest of the family.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and searched her mind for other ways to deal with it.
"Mother, I don't care if others talk about me behind my back, but the children in the family still have to be famous, Ruochuan Ruochen is going to study in a private school, Ruotong is also at the age of discussing relatives, and Ruonan and a few children in her sister's family, they can't always listen to these foul words in the village, so do you want to think about asking the family to move directly to the town?"
Su Xiaomu thought that he was rich now anyway, even if he bought a yard for the Gu family to live in the town.
And it's very convenient to buy things and do business in the town.
You don't have to run back and forth, and you get up early every day for the more than an hour of mountain road.
Originally, the two children in the family, one went to school in the town to keep accounts, and the other learned crafts in the town, and they all had to go to the town every day.
"This ......"
Li didn't think about this stubble, she was a little hesitant.
"You have to let me think about it, and I have to discuss it with your father."
Li's reaction, Su Xiaomu was not surprised.
The Gu family was born and raised in this village, and they must have a lot of affection for this village.
Now it was just a small episode they had experienced in this village, and although it was chilling and speechless, it was somewhat difficult and unrealistic for them to make the decision to leave this village.
She did not continue to persuade Li to leave the village, but told her something else.
"Now that the imperial examination is approaching, what we have to wait for is the good news of Xianggong, after he has gained a firm foothold in the capital, our family always has to go to the capital to join him, so has my mother ever thought about how to settle the family's field, or the old house?"
They went to the capital, and for a while they decided not to return to this small village.
Gu Jingcheng has studied hard for so many years, isn't it just to be able to get ahead and live a good life with his family?
He is afraid that he will not be able to eat and drink spicy food in the capital alone, and put his parents and relatives in his hometown to suffer.
Not to mention that there are still a few children in the family waiting to go outside to see the world, and they can't continue to be bound in this small village.
Gu Ruotong wants to talk to her husband's family when she is older, and the best she can meet in this small village is just a straw bag character like Luo Xiucai.
Speaking of which, under these multiple considerations, the Li family still had to think about leaving this small village.
It's just that from moving to the town, it has become moving to the capital.
"Xiao Mu said that his mother has also considered this, although the family has been shouting before waiting for Jingcheng to go to the capital to enjoy happiness after the entrance examination, but it is not easy to think about Jingcheng, he has to find a way to gain a foothold in the capital at the beginning, where is there so much effort to greet us? It's better to take it slowly, it's enough to have you by his side. ”
Li still hesitated, she had told Old Man Gu many times about this.
Parents don't want to drag down their children no matter what, not to mention that Gu Jingcheng is still the most promising child in their family.
When he has a firm foothold as an official in the capital and has the ability to support them as parents, they will go over to enjoy the blessings, so it will not be a drag on Jingcheng.
The more Li thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.
So she opened her mouth and wanted to talk to Su Xiaomu again, asking her to take care of Gu Jingcheng's affairs no matter what.
And Su Xiaomu has been with Li for so long, and he has always paid attention to her emotional changes, how can he not understand what Li is going to say next?
The Li family and Old Man Gu are like this, they would rather suffer themselves and bring the rest of the family to suffer, rather than make Gu Jingcheng, a person who lives like a young master in the countryside, suffer a little bit.
If there is an egg in the family, they will all be fed to Gu Jingcheng, and other children younger than him, juniors younger than him, can't even take a turn of egg foam.
With such a good life piled up, it's no wonder that Gu Jingcheng was born in the countryside, but he doesn't know how many people's suffering.
Su Xiaomu sighed silently in her heart, she refused to agree to the Li family anyway, and they were still suffering in the village after Gu Jingcheng's imperial examination.
Su Xiaomu reached out and grabbed Li's hands, shook her head stubbornly, and her words were her own ideas.
"Don't worry about what my mother just said, I was doing business in Fucheng a few months ago, although the income was not as exaggerated as rumored, and I didn't live in any big house to earn gold and silver, but it was enough for our family to buy a house in the capital and settle down."
Su Xiaomu really feels sorry for the Li family, she has suffered for most of her life, and she has finally been a good son, why do she continue to endure hardships?
And it was when her son was blessed.
Su Xiaomu's words were extremely strong, and he didn't let the Li family have any chance to reject her.
"Besides, if the prime minister gets the top prize, the court will give us a mansion, and then we don't even have to spend the money to buy a house, you don't have to think about it so much, as long as you follow us in the coming days to enjoy happiness."
"How can it be as simple as you say? This person is not blessed when he comes to this world, everyone is here to endure hardship, isn't there a saying that if you suffer hardship, you can become a superior person. ”
Li Shi felt very comfortable after listening to what Su Xiaomu said, but she also knew that going to the capital was definitely not as simple as Su Xiaomu said.
That's the capital, alas, it's not a small place like them, how can life be so simple?
And doesn't it mean that even an ordinary person in the capital is more knowledgeable and capable than people in the countryside?
Li knows how many catties and taels he has, and he also knows how many catties and taels his family has.
If they didn't have the slightest preparation, they rushed to the capital, for fear that they would embarrass Gu Jingcheng.
Even though the family has given his son many benefits, he has been supported by the family since he was a child, but in addition to money and other things, the hardships of studying are really eaten by Gu Jingcheng alone.
When there was no ox cart or carriage at home, every time he came back from Xiu Mu, he would listen to the first rooster crow and go out to study.
Walking more than ten or twenty miles of mountain roads to rest alone, on the way from Gujia Village to the city, in addition to the yellow mud that filled the ground, it was Gu Jingcheng's footprints one after another.
The prickly heat in summer, the chilblains in winter, anything can be faked, but these are his own real efforts, there will be no fake.
When Li said this, his eyes were still a little moist and he began to wipe his tears.
Su Xiaomu couldn't continue to talk when she saw her mother-in-law like this.
She suddenly reacted at this moment, Li and Old Man Gu, who are parents, may not really want to get any benefits from the child when they go to support a child, or maybe they just want to watch the child get ahead.
The fact that the children of the croppers were able to go to school and get rid of the fate of facing the loess with their backs to the sky was already very remarkable to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu no longer persuaded the Li family.
