11 Chapter 11

Children rarely touch money on a daily basis, and this is the most they have ever had.

Everyone looked at the copper coins on the table excitedly, and before the hairy egg was in their hands, a pair of big hands swept it directly, and the two piles on it were taken away in an instant.

Mao Dan saw that it was his mother, and he couldn't help but scream, "Mother." ”

Yang's face was full of smiles, "Mother will collect it for you, didn't Mao Dan say that this is the money saved for studying, what if you stay there and accidentally disappear?" ”

What she said was reasonable, Mao Dan also knew that his father and mother wanted him to study, and he also knew that it was not easy for the family to make money, when he first heard what Gu Yi said, he also wanted to reduce the burden on his father, so at this time, his mother was like this, and he could only pout and watch his money being taken away.

The adults have means in this regard, and Yang praised the two sons a few words, and immediately coaxed the hairy eggs into a smile.

And Gu Yi and Gu Cui's father and mother were not at home at this time, so they had to bring their money into the house first and collect it, Gu Yi and his father lived in the same room, so he took it directly to the house.

Gu Cui is older, and she has always lived in a room with Gu Xiang, the eldest daughter of the big house.

Gu Yi walked into the house, and felt that someone was following behind him, he turned around, and Gu Cui handed him the copper coin in his hand, "These of mine are also given to the little lamb, you will be with you at that time, let your mother save it for you, and you will use it for study in the future." ”

At most, she knows how to read and write at home, but if her younger brother wants to take the imperial examination, he must go to a private school.

Gu Cui is delicate, she can see the contradiction between the big room and the second room clearly, and she also hopes that her younger brother can go to school.

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at her serious eyebrows, and pursed her lower lip, "Sister, you can keep it yourself, you can take out whatever you want to buy in the future, and I will find a way to use the money for studying." ”

Gu Cui pulled Gu Yi's hand over, put the copper coin in his hand, and said without refusal: "I want to tell my mother when I buy it, you just keep it first, I still have it there." ”

She herself is embroidering some handkerchiefs for sale, although the embroidery work is not as good as her mother's, but she can also make some simple ones.

Gu Yi thought about it, he didn't refuse again, both horizontally and vertically were to be given to their mother's hands, and whoever gave it was the same, Gu Yi himself didn't plan to keep these silver coins in his hands, first, it was too little, and secondly, he didn't have anything to use the money, as for other legitimate aspects, as long as he said it, he believed that his father and mother would buy it for him, and he didn't need to do this.

After Zhu Qiaoniang came back in the afternoon, she heard about them selling mulberries, and she also had fun together, and the copper coins given by Gu Yi were also carefully collected by her, which was really for the children to read.

The next morning, after breakfast, the four children went there to pick mulberries.

Old Lady Gu also followed them, and today the old lady had to accompany them to the city.

And the time of reading was moved to the evening by them, and a beginner did not learn too much, and during the day, I memorized it in my heart by the way, and worked hard at home, and the daily learning tasks could be completed on time.

It takes time for them to pick mulberries, and Uncle Zhou went out earlier than them, so he came in advance and told them that he would take the small basket to the city by the way, and when they arrived in the city, they would just go to the place where they were yesterday to find him.

In order to ensure that they could sell out and not waste it, they didn't get too much in a day, but after selling it for two days, they also picked all the mulberries on the tree.

Things sell quickly, and they can let them take all the money they earn, for a while, Mao Dan and Gu Cui couldn't slow down their excitement, after there were no mulberries to sell, he also wanted to go to the mountains to find other wild fruits to sell, but wild fruits are such things, not only they are worried, but the children of the whole village are afraid that they are worried about this.

After all, apart from these, everyone has no other snacks.

For example, those pastries sold in the city need to be bought with money, except for those who are wealthy and love their children very much, the village rarely buys these for their children, even if it is the Gu family, they will only buy it once every once in a long time, which is not enough to satisfy their hunger.

The ones they are looking for will be enough for them to eat, so continuing to sell things in the city can only be left as it for the time being.

Their daily routines have returned to their previous state, and most of their day is spent reading.

However, after a few days, Gu Yi sat impatiently, he had almost memorized all those words when Gu Changlin was there, but he still needed to put some effort into the glyphs, which made him make up for it in a few days.

So in addition to teaching Mao Dan and his sister, he followed his mother around the village for the rest of the time.

At noon that day, a group of people from the Gu family finished their work in the field and were about to go home for lunch.

Then a woman with a son and a daughter was pushed directly out of the door by a woman.

The woman was furious, "I really haven't seen it when I grow up, this woman who is pregnant and has a child still keeps her father and brother, she lives at home and doesn't want to do all day long, my mother's own children haven't studied yet, you still want to send your son to study, you want to send it, you have the ability to pay for it yourself!" ”

The woman who was pushed out looked weak and slender, very pitiful.

The Gu family and his party were not very mobile when they stood not far away, and they had to pass by other people's sides on their way home, but soon it was not their turn to be embarrassed, because other people in the village who came to the scene also ran over to see the excitement, and with these people, it was not the turn of the Gu family to worry too much, and everyone quickly joined the team to see the excitement.

Gu Yi was also pulled by his mother and stood together.

After seeing that there were so many people watching, the scolding woman did not have the slightest reluctance, but her mood was even higher, and she said to the big guy: "We are all from the same village, you also know the situation of our family, everyone comes to judge, whose sister-in-law is like her, she has not yet married, and she gave birth to two children without knowing it, even if it is forgotten, the family has always raised it, but it has become more and more excessive in the past few days, and you want to send your son to study." ”

"Who doesn't know that reading is good, but you are not the only one in the family who has a baby, you are a person who is supported by the family, and you are embarrassed to open your mouth to ask the family to send your son to study?"

Hearing the woman's scolding, the onlookers responded, "Du Rou's girl is really not like words, this reading is such a simple thing." ”

"She has been living at home with her son and daughter for the past few years, and she has no plans after seeing her, should she really let her father and mother raise her for a lifetime?"

"Then her two brothers and sisters-in-law will definitely not agree."

After all, during this time, the children of the Gu family went to the city to sell mulberries, and the matter of reading has long been spread in the village.

The most important thing is that Du Rouke was once Gu Changlin's fiancΓ©e.

Everyone saw how much Gu Changlin liked Du Rou back then, and even after so many years, Gu Changlin didn't seem to let go of Du Rou.

Now Du Rou said that she wanted to send her children to study, and nine times out of ten it was because of the recent enlightenment of the Gu family's children.

Of course, thinking about it in my heart, everyone still had the virtue to take these words to the Gu family to say, and at this moment, the rest of the Du family also came out.

Du Rou's mother-in-law, that is, Du Pozi, hurriedly went to pull her daughter distressedly, and said dissatisfiedly to her eldest daughter-in-law: "Old man, what do you want to do?" No one said they would agree to this study. ”

Du Rou's sister-in-law sneered, "If you don't agree now, it won't be necessary after that, anyway, it's going to be a mess today, then I'll say it, in the future, in this family, Du Rou and I can only exist one." ”

This sister-in-law of hers looks soft and weak, simple and harmless, but in fact she is very powerful, if she doesn't kick this person out, maybe one day her father and mother, including her husband, will be convinced.

When that time comes, it will be too late for her to object.

So it's best to get rid of people now.

"You," Du Pozi's face changed, "This is Xiaorou's home, where do you want Xiaorou to go?" ”

Du Rou's sister-in-law said: "She doesn't have a husband of her own? I don't care where she goes, don't stay at home anyway, or we'll all be separated. ”

Du Rou was holding a child in one hand and crying on the side, which was very pitiful.

The people in the village felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Du Rou's man has long been dead, and Du Rou's mother-in-law treats her very badly, now drive her out, where can she go?

But everyone also knows in their hearts that it is not the same thing for a married daughter to go back to her parents' house with a pair of children to live all the time, so everyone just watched it and didn't think there was anything wrong with Du Rou's sister-in-law.

Some people looked at Zhu Qiaoniang with a hint of pity in their eyes, you must know that Gu Changlin has always had affection for Du Rou, and it was also because he saved Zhu Qiaoniang who fell into the water, and he had a skin-to-skin relationship, so he had no way to marry Zhu Qiaoniang, and now if Du Rou is really kicked out of the house, it is difficult to say what Gu Changlin will do.

Just looking at it, the man suddenly felt a line of sight, and as soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of dark pupils, and he was a clever man at the moment, this kid from the Gu family, why did his eyes look so penetrating, and the man hurriedly turned his head back.

Gu Yi stared at the man for a long time before looking away.

The farce in front of the gate of the Du family continues, Du Pozi gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and now the eldest daughter-in-law refuses to retreat, and the second daughter-in-law also came out to support the sister-in-law, and the two daughters-in-law are strict against Du Rou, the sister-in-law, and they all want to drive her away.

Mrs. Du was so angry that she simply wanted to choose her daughter to keep, but she also knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was saying that she was choosing one of the two, but in fact, if her daughter really stayed, the eldest daughter-in-law would definitely take away several grandchildren.

Not to mention whether the boss will be willing, when the time comes, in the village, their entire family and Xiaorou's reputation will be completely ruined.

She whispered and wanted to say a few words to plead, but Du Rou's sister-in-law was not soft-hearted at all, "I'll put my words here, mother, you can choose for yourself." ”
