Chapter VIII: Knowledge

Yun Xue let out a sigh and smiled. "It's good if you understand, I'm afraid you don't understand, and you'll blame me in the future. Don't worry, with the eldest sister here, I won't let anyone bully you. Our sisters and brothers, no matter how hard it is, we must live with our heads held high, and we will never be slaves to others. ”

Yun Zhen can somewhat understand what the eldest sister and brother mean, Yun Ni has always trusted the eldest sister, and there are only two left, Yun Ting and Yun Lei, who are still ignorant. I only know that what the eldest sister said will not be wrong. Several people all got on the kang and were next to the eldest sister together. "Eldest sister, we all believe in you, we are a family, and we will never be separated."

At this time, it was already dusk, and everyone had experienced too much in this day, and they were all tired enough. Yun Xue cheered up and led Yun Ni to cook first.

"Alright, let's get something to eat first, my stomach is tight. Eldest sister, you cook some gruel, the younger sister has no milk to eat, I'm afraid she has to drink rice soup. "Yunxue is a little helpless, and I don't know if I can support my sister like this." We don't know if there are any sheep in our neighborhood, if we can get a sheep back, we can give my sister goat's milk. ”

Yunni shook her head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Yun Xue sighed again, I hope I can come up with some way. Otherwise, the little sister may be really difficult to support.

The two sisters quickly cooked the meal, and then everyone ate together. That little thing may have eaten quite much at Zhao's house, but it didn't cry or make trouble, it was just sleeping.

At night, Yun Xue and Yun Ni slept on a kang bed, and next to Yun Xue was the little one. At night, the little thing woke up and cried, Yunxue held the child and kept coaxing it. Later, I had no choice, so I got some warm rice soup and fed it to the little guy. This little thing was also interesting, and it was very sweet, and when she was full, she fell asleep in a short time.

"It's okay, this little thing is easy to raise, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Yunxue put the child on the kang, and then everyone fell asleep again.

The next day, Yun Xue went to the village first. Yesterday, my mother's old clothes, and coffins were all borrowed from others. Now that my mother has been buried, I have to pay back the money, right? I didn't have the ability to get things back, so I had to give more money and let the family prepare again.

The people of the Zhao family are still very enthusiastic, and the old lady said that she didn't need Yun Xue to return it for the time being, but Yun Xue still left three taels of silver for the Zhao family's grandmother. "Grandma, thank you for lending your shroud yesterday. I knew it was my aunt and aunts who had worked hard to make it. I don't have much to do to make a new set for my grandmother. Grandma took the money and bothered the aunts and aunts to bother, and then did it again. ”

"You girl, where can you still use this old money? In the current situation of your family, there are more places to spend money, but you can't spend money so lavishly. Son, take it back quickly, grandma doesn't want your money. The old lady of the Zhao family pushed me not to.

"Grandma, if you don't take this money, I won't be able to kneel here. Grandma is a great favor to our family, Yunxue can't bear it, she can't repay her grandma's kindness, can't she even accept some money? Yun Xue knelt directly in front of the old lady of the Zhao family and cried.

"Alas, you kid, what a stubborn temper. Okay, okay, grandma accepts, grandma can't accept it? The old lady of the Zhao family hurriedly helped Yunxue up, and then reluctantly accepted the money. Girl, you take the time to bring the little things over and let your second aunt feed them again. Your second aunt's child is just three months old, and the milk is not bad. The child is too young to go without some milk. ”

In the past few years, many mothers have lost a lot of their children, and those children have also been raised. Generally, they eat hundreds of milk, whose daughter-in-law is breastfeeding the child, so they will give the milk by the way, and gradually they can grow up. The old lady of the Zhao family had a good heart and couldn't bear to watch the child suffer, so she asked Yunxue to bring the child over.

"Hey, listen to grandma." When Yun Xue heard this, she immediately became happy, "Thank you, grandma." ”

Yun Xue came out of the Zhao family and went to the Zheng family again, leaving fifteen taels of silver for the family, and the price of this coffin was very expensive. Moreover, it is generally the elderly at home who will prepare this thing in advance. Now that I've lent it to my mother, if something happens to the family, it's too late. Yun Xue deliberately gave some more money and asked the sons of the Zheng family to prepare again quickly.

In this way, the fifty taels sent by Sun Changhai have been spent, and nearly twenty taels have been spent. The rest has to pay off the famine that I was sick in the first place. After this lap was over, Yun Xue had more than twenty taels left in his hand. Yun Xue sighed, it's not easy to make money, it's really fast to spend money. Most of the money that my father bought in exchange for his life was gone.

When I returned home, I told Yunni and took the time to take the child to Zhao's house. Yunni agreed, and went out with the child in her arms. Fortunately, in July, it was still very warm. Yunni was worried that the child was affected by the wind, so she wrapped it in a quilt and went out.

Yun Lin and they were chopping firewood outside, Yun Xue took this opportunity to open the cabinet in her mother's house and put her mother's things together. Especially the little box that my mother said had to be put away properly.

At the bottom of the wardrobe, I found a sandalwood box. didn't lock it, Yun Xue directly opened the box. Inside is a piece of jade pendant, this jade pendant is of excellent quality, and the carving is also exquisite, I am afraid that the value is extraordinary. Whose child is this Yunlin? How can there be such a thing? Mother never said anything about the past, if it wasn't for what Mother said yesterday, the family would not have thought that Yunlin was not a child of the Han family.

Yun Xue put the box on the bottom of the wardrobe again, and then covered it with some clothes. These clothes are all worn by parents on weekdays. The peasant family, the new three years and the old three years, sewing and sewing for another three years. A piece of clothing, even if it is really not worn to the end, it must be kept for patching, or sticking the soles of shoes, and there is no waste.

Yun Xue didn't touch these clothes, and they could be changed to small ones for Yun Zhen and them to wear in the future. Now at home, if you can save it, you have to save it. Yun Lin and Yun Zhen are still studying in the school, the little sister is still young, and she has to use some good rice to drink rice soup, and the family only has two acres of land, and the food is not enough to eat. It's the same life, it all needs money, and for a while, Yun Xue sat on the kang in a daze.

"Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" Yun Lin came in from outside.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about how to make money." Yun Xue reluctantly pulled out a smile.

"By the way, eldest sister, I discussed with Yun Zhen, let's not go to the academy to study. The current situation at home cannot afford to pay for our education. Yunlin's immature face had irrefutable seriousness.

"No, I can't let you go to school just because your father and mother are gone. Yun Zhen is still a little worse, he doesn't have any brains in this regard, he just knows some words, and he doesn't want to be blind. You're different, you're smart, and you're a good learner. Mr. often praises you, saying that you will definitely be able to do well in the future. Sister can't agree. Yun Xue disagreed with Yun Lin's proposal. Since the Han family brought Yunlin in the first place, they have to be responsible for him, and they can't ruin the child's future.

Yun Lin looked outside, and then said, "Eldest sister, I heard my mother's words yesterday. ”

Yun Xue looked at the boy opposite in shock, "What? What do you hear? ”

"Eldest sister, you don't have to hide it from me. Ever since I was a child, I found it strange. Yun Zhen and I are twins, but we don't look like each other at all. I'm not like my father, I'm not like my mother, and I don't have anything like my family at all. Once, I heard my father and mother talking, saying what if people still don't give up and come to me? That's when I knew, it turned out that I wasn't our child. Later, I heard it twice, and it seemed that our father and mother were entrusted by others to bring me back. Sister, you don't have to hide it from me, I know more than you. Yun Lin looked at Yun Xue, his eyes were clear and sincere.

"Eldest sister, no matter whose child I am, in my heart, I will always be the Yunlin of the Han family. Now in this situation, I can't say that I want to go to school anymore, that would exhaust you. I'm still young, wait another two years, and if our family has a good life, I'll go to school at that time. Yun Lin said very firmly.

Yun Xue looked at her younger brother in surprise, she never thought that this Yun Lin, under the gentle surface, hid a stoic heart. At the age of twelve, he was able to hide his secrets so deeply. If it weren't for the sake of persuading himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't have spoken out today, right? "Yunlin, you have to think clearly, how will you go in the future? If you want to go to your biological parents, I won't stop you. I just don't know, your parents, where are they? What are their identities? ”

"No, I'm a child of the Han family, no matter what my biological parents do, I won't go to them. I want to accompany my eldest sister and raise my younger siblings. Let's live a good life together as a family. Yun Lin came to Yun Xue's side and hugged Yun Xue's shoulder.

"Well, you've always had an idea, big sister isn't reluctant. Otherwise, you won't go to school for a while. It just so happens that our family business is about to be repossessed, and after a while, I will find a way to send you to study. Yun Xue didn't want her younger brothers to give up studying. She is the soul of the modern day and knows the importance of reading and literacy. If you want to live a good life, reading is very important.

"Okay, then let's put it on hold for the time being, and when our family's situation improves, I'll go back to study." Yun Lin smiled, knowing that the eldest sister would listen to her.

"Sister, we're back. My sister ate a lot today, and she fell asleep again. Yunni came in from outside with her little sister in her arms. Sister, isn't it time to cook? I'm a little hungry. Don't look at this little thing is still small, it's really heavy after holding it for a long time. ”
