Chapter 45 Cleaning up the fourth son Li Changxi again
Li Changxi saw his mother with such an expression, and immediately sat upright, "Mother, you ...... It's not fair. ”
"Fair? What is fairness? Li Xiaoyue squinted her eyes and looked at Li Changxi, "The whole family doesn't have anything to do with you, you don't earn a penny, and you have to provide for your education, why didn't your brothers and sisters say it was unfair before?" ”
"That's different!" Li Changxi has always felt that everything is inferior, only if he is high in reading, as long as he can be admitted to fame, he can glorify his ancestors.
Because of the long-term influence of Liu Yunde, Li Changxi has always felt superior.
"How is it different?" Li Xiaoyue asked rhetorically, her expression became solemn, "Are you superior to others when you study?" Are you nobler than your brothers and sisters? I don't think so. ”
Li Changxi looked embarrassed, smiled, and looked at his brothers, sisters and sisters, "Mother, I didn't mean that!" ”
Li Xiaoyue looked at Li Changxi coldly, "I don't care what you mean, the person who doesn't produce in this family is you, you are not yet fifteen years old, I should raise you as a mother, but it is limited to food and clothing." The money you spend on studying is all the hard-earned money of your family, you are sucking the blood of your brothers and sisters, and you still tell me that it is unfair? ”
Li Changxi sweated on his forehead, "Mother, I can't say that I have been admitted to fame, and I will protect my brothers and sisters, and I will glorify my ancestors!" ”
Li Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Liu Yunde also said so, but he did it, no!" Therefore, you can't learn from Liu Yunde and enjoy everything in this home as a matter of course. ”
"Besides, didn't you fail the test? Except that you are a little clever, I don't see your efforts, and I don't think you will be able to pass the test. ”
"Also, if you want to talk about fairness, put aside food, clothing, housing and transportation, let's say that if you study, at least six taels of silver a year, you have spent dozens of taels of silver on studying for so many years."
"On the other hand, your eldest brother has followed me to work in the fields since he was seven or eight years old, and he has followed your grandfather and uncles to collect pigs at the age of ten; Your second brother has a slippery head, although he doesn't do as much as your eldest brother, but he also works for this family; Don't talk about your third brother, the land at home is basically planted by him......"
"They've been making money for their families all the time, what about you? In addition to spending money, not earning a penny, you still give me to talk about unfairness here? Anyone in this family can talk about this problem, but you are not qualified. ”
"If you want to be qualified, wait until you are at least admitted to Xiucai, and let me see that you are a piece of reading material. Now I will arrange for you to write a notice. If you don't want to write, I can go to the school and find someone to copy it, and there are definitely people who want to write. ”
Li Changxi's high-raised "tail" was completely cut off by Li Xiaoyue!
I don't read very well, but I have a lot of messy thoughts!
If you don't clean up Li Changxi now, you may be able to do more excessive things in the future.
"Mother, I write, I copy." Li Changxi's scalp was numb by his mother, and if he thought about it carefully, it seemed that in this family, he didn't make any money, and he was really not qualified to talk about conditions if he ate what he used at home.
It seems that I still have to study hard!
If you can't get into Xiucai, the whole family looks down on him!
Seeing that his mother is like this now, he only let him take the test twice, and if he can't pass the test, he won't let him take the test, it's not just talking.
Li Xiaoyue squinted her eyes slightly and nodded, "Well, I don't let you write too much every day, a hundred sheets a day, and a ten-penny remuneration, which adds up to a lot, enough for you." ”
When Li Changfu heard this, he reminded loudly, "Mother, our stove and honeycomb coal will become more and more popular in the future, and a hundred sheets a day will not be enough." ”
Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Third Uncle Li's grandson is studying in a private school with Changxi, and his family is very difficult. I took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone here, and asked him to copy it, and the price was the same, ten sheets for a penny. ”
Li Changfu nodded hurriedly, "Mother, I think it's okay, his family is very difficult." I can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, and I can make a lot of money in a month. ”
Li Xiaoyue responded and looked at Li Changlu, "Changlu, you can go to Uncle Li's house in a while to talk about it." ”
"Yes, mother." Li Changlu is very happy, his mother has handed over all the affairs of the family to him, and he is also in charge of things.
Li Xiaoyue's eyes looked at Li Changan, and she was about to speak, but Li Changan took the lead.
"Mother, I have to spend a lot of money every winter, so you don't have to pay me! Besides, it's not tiring sheep and cattle. ”
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue felt comfortable, this child was clever and self-aware.
In fact, Li Chang'an's intelligence is above Li Changxi's, but because he is not in good health, he can't be tired, so he only learned literacy and simple arithmetic.
The original Li Xiaoyue is really shrewd in other aspects except for her love brain.
All the children in the family are literate and literate, and they are all taught by her, and the smarter ones have good memory, and they are sent to private schools to prepare for the imperial examination.
Li Xiaoyue smiled, reached out and touched her youngest son's head, "Your work is indeed lighter, but the salary that should be paid is still to be given, our cattle and sheep are taken care of by you, and they are well raised, which is also a credit." The salary is not much, ten cents a day. ”
Li Changan's eyes lit up, this was really unexpected, "Mother, I'm still young, you keep it for me, and when I need money, I'll ask you." ”
"Okay, I'll keep it for you." Li Xiaoyue nodded, and then looked at Wu Cuihong, Zhou Xiaohua, and Li Changhuan, "Cuihong, Xiaohua, and Changhuan are responsible for the housework at home, cooking, washing, washing clothes, and cleaning, as well as things in the vegetable garden, which are very hard, fifty wen per person per day." ”
"Thank you, mother!" Wu Cuihong, Zhou Xiaohua, and Li Changhuan are all very happy, the village is in charge of money, and the others can't make any money.
Li Changle shook his mother's arm, "Mother, what about me?" I also work at home. ”
Li Daya shook Li Xiaoyue's other arm, "Grandma, Daya also works and asks for money!" ”
Li Goudan is a fungile person, and he doesn't know what the use of everyone is asking for money, so he also coaxed, "Yes, Goudan also needs money!" ”
Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, Changle, five cents a day, and one penny a day for the big girl and the dog." But the dog and the big girl, who are young, have given pocket money to your mother to put away. ”
Li Changle counted with his fingers, five yuan a day, and one hundred and fifty yuan a month!
That's a lot of money!
"Thank you, mother, I want to save my own money." Li Changle demanded that the money was in his own hands, and that was his own money.
Li Xiaoyue attaches great importance to the teaching of Li Changle, this daughter not only inherited the good looks of the original Li Xiaoyue, but also inherited the love brain.
In the book, he eloped with a handsome scholar with a flamboyant tongue.
The scholar had a wife at home, and he was not entangled, so he was tired of playing with Li Changle, so he sold Li Changle to the Qinglou, and finally contracted flower willow disease and was thrown on the mass grave.
"Okay, the money is for you, but I'm going to oversee how you spend it. If I find out that you are spending money indiscriminately, the pocket money will be confiscated. ”
"Good!" Li Changle smiled happily, and with money, she could buy good-looking head flowers.
Li Xiaoyue looked around at everyone, "In short, everyone works hard and works hard, let's live in a big house and wear beautiful clothes this year." ”
"Yes, mother." Everyone is excited, there is a rush on such a day, and there is no need to keep supporting the negative man who is like a bottomless pit, and there seems to be no burden on his shoulders.
Wu Cuihong and Zhou Xiaohua served the food, and just when the family was about to eat, someone knocked on the door outside, loud and urgent.
