After finishing the fight, Jin Xiaoye said to Yao's mother again: "Auntie, are you going to find someone?" I can hold the boat for you. ”

In the past few years, Jin Xiaoye borrowed a lot from the Yao family.

For example, borrowing the Yao family's stone mortar is used, and if there is no fire at home, borrow a fire from the Yao family or something.

She has always remembered this, and it is incumbent on the Yao family to need help.

"Xiao Ye, then I'll trouble you! After so many years, Lao Yao has never forgotten to pick up Zhenfu, and I am very panicked now. Yao Mu said.

Jin Xiaoye finished eating the meal in two bites, then pulled Jin Xiaoshu and took Yao's mother and Yao Zhenfu to find someone.

Li Qingzhi also wanted to go, but looked at Li Damao and Li Ermao, but he didn't go in the end.

He took Li Damao and Li Ermao to the river to take a bath, washed Li Damao's clothes and Li Ermao, and when he got home, he coaxed two children to sleep...... Li Qingzhi waited for Jin Xiaoye at the door.

It's already dark, but fortunately the moon is big today, and the moon in the sky is quite bright, reflecting on the surface of the river, and the river surface is rippling with layers of silver light...... Jin Xiaoye, they shouldn't be unable to see anything.

While waiting, Li Qingzhi silently memorized the contents of the book he remembered today, while the Yao family next door lit the lamp, and there were many people in the village sitting at the door, all waiting for news, and some people went in groups to find people along the river.

Yao Gonggong didn't come back, and the people in the village were very worried.

I don't know how long I waited, but there was a commotion not far away, and when Li Qingzhi looked up, he saw a group of people coming back with Yao Gonggong in their arms.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhi hurriedly went over.

At night, Li Qingzhi couldn't see Yao Gonggong's expression clearly, but Yao Gonggong stood and didn't look like something was wrong.

Yao Gong also said: "I'm really sorry, I accidentally fell asleep, overslept, I really got dizzy......"

Yao Gonggong apologized to the villagers, said that he would go to thank Ming'er, and then sent the villagers away.

Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye also returned home.

As soon as he entered the house, Jin Xiaoye said, "Something must have happened to the Yao family!" ”

"How?" Li Qing asked.

Jin Xiaoye said: "I think Yao Gonggong is very wrong, as if he has cried. ”

Jin Xiaoye took Yao's mother and Yao Zhenfu out to find someone, and found Yao Gonggong, who parked the boat by the river and was lying in the boat next to the county seat, at that time Yao Gonggong said that he accidentally fell asleep, but his voice didn't sound right.

Li Qingzhi thought about it for a while, and said that Yao Zhenfu asked him about Yao Zhenfu asking for a hundred taels of silver in the morning.

Jin Xiaoye didn't think about it and said: "Yao Zhenfu has been falsely accused!" Maybe it was his good friend who gave him a fairy jump! ”

Li Qingzhi was a little curious: "What do you say?" He thought before that Yao Zhenfu might have gone to gamble or been deceived.

"Yao Zhenfu goes home every day, it's impossible to gamble for money or anything, and he has a good ...... I've seen that person once, it's not a good person," Jin Xiaoye said, "I don't know what Jin Jasmine Yao Gong thinks, if I had beaten Yao Zhenfu a long time ago and forced him to break off." ”

She doesn't like Yao Zhenfu very much, but Yao Zhenfu has no ability to bully the soft and afraid of the hard, and he can't even support himself...... As long as Yao Gonggong ruthlessly didn't give him money and beat him again, he wouldn't have the courage to make a mess outside.

"I think so too!" Li Qingzhi agreed.

Jin Xiaoye is just an illiterate rural girl, but she lives a very sober life...... Li Qingzhi leaned over and kissed Jin Xiaoye's face.

Jin Xiaoye was taken aback: "What are you doing?" ”

"Kiss you." Li Qing said with a smile.

Jin Xiaoye said: "What's the matter with you, I didn't have so many flowers before...... "Five years ago, Li Qingzhi didn't like to talk and liked to be alone, although he was good to her, he didn't touch his hands and kiss his face, but now Li Qingzhi ......

"Xiao Ye, I just think you're very good, I like you more and more." Li Qing said with a smile.

Jin Xiaoye felt a little hot on his face, and said in a low voice: "Why do you say everything, and you are like this...... Can your body afford it? ”

"What?" Li Qingzhi didn't react.

Jin Xiaoye said: "Did you think about it? But your body is like this, it's better for us not to do it, otherwise what if you're tired? ”

Li Qingzhi is moving his hands and feet and talking sweetly, and he always wants her to buy another bed, he must be thinking about that matter!

But Jin Xiaoye didn't think much about it, firstly, she already had two children, and she didn't really want to have another child, and secondly, she didn't want to have another child...... Li Qingzhi is so thin that his body is in deficit, and it is not good for his body to do this.

She lays on the floor every day, just because she is afraid that Li Qing will not be able to hold back and toss blindly, and her body will be broken!

Li Qingzhi: "......"

"Alas, didn't you eat a lot in the Zhu family, why are you still so thin, I'm worried that I will accidentally break your arm if I use too much force." Jin Xiaoye sighed.

She was worried that Li Qingzhi had brought back all the food, but after asking the child, she found out that this was not the case.

But Li Qing insisted...... Why doesn't he grow meat?

Chapter 35 Remuneration

Li Qing pinched his thin arm, a little distracted.

He didn't think too much about it at first, after all, his physical condition didn't allow it.

But Jin Xiaoye said so...... He really had an idea.

"I'll go wipe my body, you go to sleep first." Jin Xiaoye coughed lightly, feeling that his face was even hotter.

"I'll be with you." Li Qing insisted.

Jin Xiaoye: "......" doesn't need anyone to accompany you to wipe your body at all, so what does Li Qingzhi want to do?

But Li Qing insisted on accompanying him if he wanted to, anyway, he couldn't see anything when it was so dark.

In fact, it's nothing to see it, they have two children!

While Jin Xiaoye was scrubbing his body, Li Qingzhi stood guard not far away, and he could faintly hear the sound of quarreling coming from next door.

The Yao family is afraid that they are quarreling.

The Yao family is indeed quarrelling.

After chatting with Li Qingzhi this morning, Yao Gonggong gritted his teeth and went to the river port at the entrance of the academy to wait, ready to ask Yao Zhenfu's classmates.

In the entire Miaoqian Village, Yao Zhenfu was the only one studying in the county seat, and Yao Zhenfu was not happy for Yao Zhenfu to see his classmates...... Yao Gonggong has never known much about Yao Zhenfu's situation in the school.

However, Yao Zhengong rowed in the county every day, often passing by the school, and still knew some of Yao Zhenfu's classmates.

He didn't dare to talk to the richly dressed people, so he stopped a young student who was dressed very ordinarily.

The person who was stopped by Yao Gonggong was Xu Qifei.

Xu Qifei's mother was an ordinary, illiterate country girl, when she was eighteen years old, she was introduced to marry Xu's father, who was in his forties and opened a porcelain shop in the city, and Xu's father's eldest son was already married.

Xu's father is good to Xu's mother, and he is also very fond of Xu Qifei, an old man, but Xu Qifei is eight years old

Then he fell ill and died.

The Xu family's porcelain shop was taken over by Xu Qifei's eldest brother, and Xu Qifei's eldest brother didn't like his younger stepmother and younger half-brother, so naturally he wouldn't give them too much money.

However, the eldest brother of the Xu family is going to do business in the county, and he is afraid that his neighbors will gossip, so he is not too bad for Xu Qifei's mother and son.

Xu's mother is a country girl, and Xu's father, who has passed away, is an elegant, easy-going man who can write and paint...... Mother Xu admires Father Xu very much, and she respects Father Xu's words.

Because Xu's father always said that Xu Qifei was very smart when he was alive, he sent Xu Qifei to the school when Xu Qifei was six years old...... After Xu's father died, Xu's mother insisted on sending Xu Qifei to study.

The eldest brother of the Xu family did not divide Xu Qifei's mother and son, they ate and lived in the Xu family, and in addition, the eldest brother of the Xu family gave them five taels of silver a year.

This money can make them live well, but it is definitely not enough to study, so Xu's mother helps people weave and embroider to earn money.

She is very diligent, and she can earn about a dozen taels of silver a year, and all this money is used for her son's education.

Xu Qifei knows very well how hard his mother is, and he knows how to understand his mother when he is a child, so he brings his own food when others spend money to eat in the school, and he can not buy the books he needs to read, so he is cheeky to borrow them from others and copy them.

He mainly borrowed from Zhu Xunmiao, and by borrowing, he had a friendship, and later Zhu Xunmiao saw that he brought food every day, and the food he brought was very ordinary, so he simply invited him to eat together every day. Xu Qifei is the same age as Zhu Xunmiao, he is only fifteen years old this year, and he is a teenager with a little baby fat on his face.

Yao Gong habitually showed a smile and bent over: "Little master, I want to ask you something." ”

After speaking, Yao Gonggong's movements stopped again, and he suddenly remembered that his son didn't like him to show such a look.

Xu Qifei didn't notice Yao Gonggong's discomfort, and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to ask?" ”

Yao Gonggong subconsciously showed a flattering smile again: "I just want to ask about your school...... Little master, does it cost a lot to study? ”

Xu Qifei didn't know Yao Gonggong, but he thought that this was a person who wanted to send his children to study, and he saw that Yao Gonggong's clothes were patched, so he said: "Reading is very expensive." At the beginning, when I only knew how to read, I would add two taels of silver to the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and it would cost about seven or eight taels of silver a year, and if I wanted to learn the scriptures, it would cost about fifteen taels of silver a year. ”

He spent fifteen taels a year, and almost all of his mother's hard-earned money was spent on him.

"Fifteen taels of silver a year is enough?" Yao Gong was stunned, his son would spend fifty taels a year!

"That's enough." Xu Qifei said.

Xu Qifei is young, and he looks simple, not like he can lie...... Yao Gonggong asked: "Isn't it very expensive to buy books?" Some books are not enough for a tael or two. ”

Books in these years are indeed very expensive, especially Li Xiucai sometimes gets some more expensive books that are not sold outside and asks them to buy them.

But it's okay not to buy those books, just borrow someone else's copy or take a look.

As for the four books and five classics that must be had, it is actually not expensive to buy a set.

Xu Qifei said: "At first, the books for learning to read and write were cheap, and some books in the back were really expensive, but you could borrow books from others and copy them. "If you make trouble in the school, you will be reprimanded, but if you copy books in the school, Li Xiucai doesn't care.

What's more, like in summer, if you go to school early and go home later, you will have a lot more time to copy books.

"What about the county test? Little master, is the county exam good? Yao Gong swallowed.

"Shouldn't the county exam be difficult? I'm going to play next year. Xu Qifei said, Li Xiucai suggested that he leave next year, and he ...... He felt that he should be able to pass the county exam.

He is in the academy, his learning is good, and if he can't even pass the county exam, what book will he read? It's better to find a job to do as soon as possible.

Yao Gonggong asked Xu Qifei because Xu Qifei was wearing old clothes that were washed white and somewhat wide.

Yao Zhenfu never wears such clothes.

This young man definitely couldn't come up with a hundred taels of silver, but he seemed to be very sure of the county test.

"Little master, how much money does it cost to participate in the county exam?" Yao Gonggong asked again.

Xu Qifei said: "I want to give Mr. Li a tael of silver and ask him to guarantee it, and then buy some better pen and ink, I am afraid it will cost two or three taels of silver." ”

Yao Gonggong only felt his head buzzing.

In the past, Yao Zhenfu participated in the county examination and took ten taels of silver with him!

After asking, Yao returned to the boat in a daze.

He subconsciously went to get the oars, but as soon as he picked them up, somehow as soon as he let go of his hand, the oars fell off.
