Li Laogen didn't have a quilt to cover it, she gave Li Laogen the thin quilt she had purchased before, and she and her two children covered her dowry.

This quilt is not big, she took Li Damao and Li Ermao to sleep with her before, and it was enough to cover it, but now isn't there an extra Li Qingzhi? It's definitely not enough to cover!

Li Laogen's quilt is also a bit thin and needs to be thickened.

"In addition to quilts, cotton clothes also have to be purchased, you don't have cotton clothes at all, and Dad's torn cotton clothes are not warm to wear......" Jin Xiaoye broke his fingers and began to count.

These things are not cheap, and once they are purchased, they will cost a few taels of silver.

Chapter 33: Grandma Kim

Every time he counted what the family needed, Jin Xiaoye felt that his family's belongings were too small.

Pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, she lacks a lot of things!

But take your time, you can always save it, if she works harder, she can save more and share it with Li Damao and Li Ermao in the future.

Jin Xiaoye fell asleep as she spoke, and snored - she was too tired.

Li Qingzhi lay on the bed and looked at the side of the bed.

It was very dark, and he couldn't see the appearance of Jin Xiaoye laying on the ground, but he could feel the presence of Jin Xiaoye.

In the last days, even if there is only a little noise around him, he can't sleep, but now...... Whether it was the croaking of frogs outside, or the purring of Jin Xiaoye, the sound of children's breathing, all brought him a full sense of security.

Li Qingzhi closed his eyes and began to activate his abilities.

His body has improved a lot, and lately, he has been using his abilities to "purify" his brain from time to time.

It worked so well that he was able to memorize the book a few more times now.

However, because he has to write books and practice calligraphy, he does not have many books to memorize now, and even if he memorizes the books, he does not understand the content of the books.

In the future, he will have to find a teacher and study systematically.

Thinking about what to do next, Li Qingzhi also fell into a deep sleep.

The Yao family next door, but everyone couldn't sleep all night.

Yao Gonggong lay on the bed, constantly turning over.

Yao's mother also had her eyes open, and she couldn't sleep.

Yesterday their son came to them and asked them for a hundred denarii, and this evening at supper he brought it up again.

Their son had previously taken the county exam, but had not. And now...... Their son suddenly told them that whether they could pass the county test or not depended on the county order, and they thought that they had to be familiar with the county order in front of the county order.

According to their son, some students in the county have money in their families, and when their father invites the county order to eat or gives the county order things, they can easily pass the county test, and the reason why their son can't pass is because the county order doesn't know him.

Between the words, their son kept complaining about them, thinking that it was because they didn't give enough that he couldn't pass the county exam, and said that if he passed, he would definitely be able to pass the next government examination and institute exam, and then he would be able to be admitted to Xiucai.

Yao Chenggong knew that what Yao Zhenfu said had some truth, if he had a friendship with the county order, it would definitely not be difficult to pass the county test.

But a hundred taels of silver, that's a hundred taels of silver!

Yao Gonggong's father and mother had a total of two sons, but Yao Gonggong's brother fell ill at a young age, and in the end, only Yao Gonggong was left.

The Yao family was wealthy, and Yao Gonggong also got a lot of money from his father.

He was a man with a lot of brains, and he bought a boat with money, and after that, the family had a stable source of income.

When Yao Gonggong first got married, he went out to rock the boat, and although he only earned forty or fifty wen when he was young, he was lucky enough to earn two or three hundred wen a day, and on average, he could earn two taels of silver a month.

In addition, they have a lot of land and a lot of output......

At that time, their family could eat meat from time to time, and they could save twenty or thirty taels of silver a year.

By the time Yao Zhenfu reached the age of eight, their family had already saved more than two hundred taels of silver, and Yao Zhenfu was smart and clever when he looked at it...... With only such a child, he had the idea of sending his child to school.

felt that the talent in the next village was not knowledgeable enough, and after inquiring, he also sent Yao Zhenfu to the school in the county seat.

In the first few years, Yao Zhenfu didn't spend much money on studying, and basically the money earned by Yao Zhenfu supporting the boat was enough to support Yao Zhenfu's study.

But as the years passed, the expenses slowly increased.

Let Li Xiucai explain the scriptures and pay an extra five taels of silver every year, and Yao Zhenfu's expenses for buying books and pens are also increasing......

They had to dip into the money they had previously saved.

Wait until Yao Zhenfu wants to get married

At that time, they had saved more than 100 taels of money.

Thinking of keeping enough money for Yao Zhenfu to go to Fucheng to take the Xiucai exam...... They sold a piece of land to Li Qingzhi.

And then...... Yao Zhenfu's expenses are even greater.

The annual tuition fee for going to the school is seven taels of silver, and eating in the school is about two taels of silver in a year, which is not a big expense, but buying paper, pens, books, and clothes, participating in the county exam, and gathering with classmates...... Yao Zhenfu alone spends fifty taels of silver a year.

Yao Gonggong worked hard to earn money, but it was not enough for him to spend, so he could only use his savings.

The Yao family's living standards are also getting worse and worse.

In the past, the Yao family could eat meat from time to time, but now the most they can buy is tofu for a penny.

In the past two years, in order to make money, Yao Gonggong was tired half to death every day, and his back hurt so much that he often couldn't straighten up, what about Yao's mother? Her temper is getting worse and worse.

None of them wanted Yao Zhenfu to continue studying, but Yao Zhenfu always said that he was about to be admitted......

This time, Yao Zhenfu opened his mouth and asked for a hundred taels of silver, where could they get it?

They all persuaded Yao Zhenfu not to take the exam, thinking that it was good to find an errand like Li Qingzhi to copy books and live a stable life.

If there are two people in their family who earn money, plus the more than a dozen acres of land in the family...... It won't be long before the family is solid again.

But Yao Zhenfu was reluctant and had a big fight with them.

Yao's mother suddenly spoke: "What can I do after the county exam?" There are more children in the county! Even if he is admitted to Xiucai, there are not many people like Li Xiucai who can make money, and the life of Xiucai in the next village is not much better than ours......"

To come up with this hundred taels, their family has to sell the land!

And then what? After the county test, they have to go to Fucheng to participate in the government test, will they sell the land again?

When their son is admitted to Xiucai, maybe they won't have any land!

Yao Gonggong sighed: "Zhenfu is bent on taking the ...... test"

In fact, two years earlier, Yao Gonggong wanted his son to stop studying, but unfortunately his son was unwilling.

He thought that his son was only in his early twenties and that his family could still support him, so he went with him.

But now...... They couldn't hold on.

In the next room, Yao Zhenfu couldn't sleep.

He was frightened by Xu Niang's husband and panicked.

He knows a little bit about the situation at home - their family has no money.

But they still have land, so it doesn't matter if you sell it?

Yao Zhenfu was in turmoil in his heart, and Jin Jasmine said in a low voice: "Ah Fu, it's not easy to take the test, otherwise don't take the test?" "What a show! It's better to go into business.

She remembered that at this time in her last life, Yao Zhenfu had stopped reading, and it was said that it was because Jin Xiaoye was arguing with him all day long, and he couldn't read.

It's just that after he didn't study, he went to do business, and he made the business bigger and bigger.

"Do you want me not to take the Xiucai exam? What kind of heart do you have! Yao Zhenfu suddenly shouted.

Jin Jasmine gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the two children were still young, so they slept on the bed next to them, Yao Zhenfu shouted like this, and the two children were awakened and cried together.

Yao Zhenfu didn't give up: "Cry, cry, cry, you know to cry, my luck has been lost by you!" Jin Jasmine, I couldn't get into Xiucai because I married you, a dead star! ”

Compared with Jin Jasmine, Yao Zhenfu prefers Xu Niang, but if the two of them put it in front of him to choose, he will definitely choose Jin Jasmine.

Jin Jasmine is his wife who is marrying Ming Media, and the two have children!

In the past, Yao Zhenfu was still good to Jin Jasmine, at least he wouldn't say such things, but in the past two days, he felt aggrieved, so he took all his anger out on Jin Jasmine: "What do you say you will do?" I can't do the work well, the children can't take it well, and I look like I've been wronged all day long! ”

Yao Zhenfu said to Jin Jasmine.

In the dark, Jin Jasmine silently shed tears, and the whole person was a little dazed.

She really didn't expect Yao Zhenfu to say this about her!

This evening, she saw that many people in the village went to exchange flowers with Jin Xiaoye, so she wanted to ask her mother-in-law for two eggs and exchange one as well.

As a result, before she could speak, the family quarreled.

The family is like this, so she naturally doesn't dare to say anything about changing her head flowers...... She was already very aggrieved at the time, but she didn't expect that at night, she could be even more aggrieved.

Kim Jasmine cried for half the night.

Yao Zhenfu was already annoying, she was still crying next to her, so she scolded again, so that the two children couldn't stop crying.

When Li Qingzhi woke up in the morning, he felt that his face was very itchy.

He reached out and touched it, only to realize that he had been bitten on the face.

It seems that his body is really much better, and mosquitoes have come to bite him!

You know, before that, mosquitoes only bit two children, not him.

Now that he had woken up, Li Qingzhi also got up from the bed and went to the thatched house to go to the toilet.

Their thatched hut was a jar, which was buried in the earth and had wooden planks on top of it, which could be pulled by squatting.

In the summer, the smell of the thatched hut is really not good, but everyone is like this this year.

Their homes are even cleaned, and some families put their huts and pigsty together, and people can't help but take a few steps faster when they pass by.

After Li Qingzhi went to the toilet, Jin Xiaoye also got up, and when he saw this, he went to the kitchen to cook.

Jin Xiaoye took a hand, and when Li Qing was holding the fire, she practiced calligraphy by the stove.

Li Qingzhi was very positive: "Xiao Ye, let me teach you new words?" ”

Jin Xiaoye glanced at Li Qingzhi: "If you don't learn new words today, there will definitely be someone to change your head later." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the house: "Xiaoye, do you still have a flower here?" ”

"And whatever!" Jin Xiaoye Road.
