Now I can finally go.

Next, Li Xiaorui led the two little uncles to concentrate on making dumplings, Li Xiaorui was very smart, calmed down and concentrated on learning, and soon learned to wrap it in a similar way.

Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, the two little guys, because of their young age, still can't grasp the dumpling skin, and the fillings are exposed on the outside of the dumpling skin.

Li Xiaorui re-pinched the dumplings made by the two of them one by one, and generously said that if the dumplings made by the two little uncles broke and spread out in the pot, they would eat his dumplings.

Soon, the dumplings were wrapped.

A few people who were busy in the shop returned.

The family had a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The dumplings wrapped by Li Qiao are round, like gold ingots, with all kinds of fillings, and the dumplings he ate tonight are also made by himself, not only boiled, but also steamed and fried.

Just eating dumplings, he ate seven or eight points full.

If Tao Zhu hadn't sandwiched a lot of other dishes for him, he would have eaten enough dumplings tonight.

"You're really getting more and more fond of eating dumplings."

Tao Zhu said that he sandwiched a fish head, this fish head is sweet and sour, and it tastes good.

"Because our dumplings are delicious."

Li Qiao said with a smile.

"Then you can eat a few more."

Tao Zhu brought another drawer of steamed dumplings and put it in front of him.

Recently, Li Qiao has been very busy, staying in the palace during the day, and going straight to the study after returning home.

He was looking at the various information on the location of several princes' wharves.

He was looking through various agricultural books to find ways to increase crop yields.

He's busy anyway.

It's been a busy winter.

Now Li Qiao seems to have left everything behind, only focusing on the dumplings on the dinner table, one bite at a time, praising while eating, Tao Zhu is actually quite happy.

The world is busy, so you should pay attention to rest.

Soon, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was over, and the family kept watch in the multi-purpose leisure room in the front yard.

On this occasion, it is natural to play cards.

There are many people in the family, those who want to play mahjong play mahjong, and those who want to fight the landlord.

This New Year, the family spent it in laughter.

When the firecrackers were set off at twelve o'clock in the morning, Li Qiao stood in the courtyard and listened to the sound of cannons from a distance, and couldn't help but wrap the fox fur cloak on his body.

He has only one New Year's resolution, hoping that next year will be smooth.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the afternoon, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu really took the three little ones to Shantang.

When he arrived at Shantang, Tao Zhu found out the information of the poor people in the south and west of the city and let the three little guys see it.

Li Xiaorui's eyes widened and stared at the words on the booklet: "This family of eight lives in one room?" ”

"Yes. The family is poor, and the family can only rent one room. Tao Zhu nodded.

When Li Xiaorui heard this, his little eyebrows were twisted into a ball.

Although he still lives in a room with his father and his brother, his father has prepared a room for him, and he will move there when he is older.

Moreover, he already has his own study......

Soon, he opened his eyes wide and pointed to the handwriting on the booklet and said, "The girl of this family is only six years old, and she knows six different embroidery methods?" ”

"Yes, this girl's mother is an embroiderer, she has learned needlework since she was a child, and now she can take some work from the cloth village like her mother to support her family."

Tao Zhu explained in detail.

Li Xiaorui: "......"

Then it is not very remarkable that he can memorize books such as "Analects", "University", and "Mencius".

He had seen his father do needlework, and his father only embroidered a small handkerchief and said that he was tired.

But this girl has already begun to support her family by embroidery?

He raised his little head and looked at Tao Zhu: "Uncle Zhu, I also want to donate silver to Shantang, is it okay?" ”

"You donate money?" Tao Zhu was surprised.

"That's right! I want to help this girl and this big family. ”

Li Xiaorui stretched out his little finger and tapped the booklet in front of him.

"No ......"

Tao Zhu smiled and was about to refuse, but Li Qiao on the side said, "Okay! ”

"Huh?" Tao Zhu looked at Li Qiao puzzled.

Li Qian smiled and reached out and pinched Li Xiaorui's fat face: "Xiaorui, in the future, you will sponsor some children from poor families, and then you pay attention to the growth of these children and see how they change with your help, okay?" ”

"Okay!"

Li Xiaorui immediately stretched out his chubby little hand and grabbed Li Qiao's hand, and his little head was like a chicken pecking rice: "Uncle, father, then let's go and choose the child now, okay?" ”

"It's a little late today, and it's going to get dark later, so we'll pick tomorrow." Li Qiao pointed out the window.

Today is cloudy, no rain or snow, it is simply no sun and cold.

This winter, most of the time, this weather is like this.

In winter, it will be dark early, and there is no sun, so it will not be dark in an hour.

"Xiao Rui, let's talk about it first, it's you who donate silver, you have to take out your New Year's money." Again, he stressed this point.

"I have silver!"

Li Xiaorui immediately let go of Li Qiao, and the little fat hand patted the small purse hanging on his waist, which contained a gold ingot.

Of course, his assets are more than that.

Today he received New Year's money from the elders, which adds up to a few hundred taels of silver!

"Let's go tomorrow!"

Li Xiaorui said, hugged the two little uncles, and said to Li Qiao: "The little uncle also wants to sponsor young children from poor families!" ”

Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan didn't understand the conversation in front of them, but the two of them had always acted with their eldest nephew.

So Li Changfeng nodded his little head: "Daddy, listen to Xiao Rui." ”

Li Yunfan also said in a soft and glutinous voice: "Daddy, go tomorrow." ”

"That's good!"

Li Qiao couldn't help but pinch their soft faces one by one.

Tao Zhu stretched out his hand and poked Li Yunfan's little fat friend's face, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm still wondering if I should prepare a booklet for Chang Yunfan this morning, so that I can record the New Year's money of the two of them separately." ”

"Now it seems that this booklet will have to be prepared today."

The New Year's money and various gifts that these two little guys received before were recorded in the booklet of him and Li Qiao.

From this year onwards, the relationship between these two little guys will be in an independent book.

Kind little cubs, at a young age, have to learn from their father to lend a helping hand to the weak.

The next day, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu really took the three little ones to the south of the city.

According to the records of the Shantang booklet, Li Xiaorui went door-to-door to select the children he wanted to sponsor.

This was Li Xiaorui's first visit to the south of the city, and he saw the dilapidated, crowded, dim, and cold houses.

He saw children with frostbite on their faces, thin and small, timid on their faces, and patches on their clothes.

I also saw that these children's rice bowls were filled with wowotou and pickles.

Li Xiaorui's little hand holding the purse couldn't help but clench, the excitement on his fat face was gone, and his little eyebrows were twisted again.

Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, the two little guys, also turned their little heads silently, and their little bodies kept squeezing into Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's arms.

When he returned to the carriage, Li Xiaorui said a little sullenly: "Uncle, how many people can I help with my silver?" ”

"If it's just for children, then at least fifty people can be helped."

Li Qiao said a number that is not much, but it is not too little.

"Then I helped. I'll spend less money later. ”

Li Xiaorui immediately said.

Chinese New Year's Eve day, he really shouldn't have wasted flour......

Li Xiaorui really wants to sponsor the children, and Li Qiao will naturally handle this matter.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and there is no compulsory education in this time and space, so if you want to really help the children of the poor, you must either let these children study, or let these children learn a trade.

But regardless of whether you are reading a book or learning a craft, you should set up a special school.

So, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when Sheng Hong began to deal with government affairs, Li Qiao entered the palace.

Sheng Hong was very happy when he listened to the reason and experience told by Li Qiao, but he didn't expect that not only Li Aiqing was willing to use the silver to appease the poor people, but even Li Aiqing's nephews and sons also had such kindness.

A good thing.

Proper and good deeds.

He waved his hand and answered very simply.

But this time, Li Qiao said with a little caution: "Holy Lord, why don't you set up this academy in the name of you or the imperial court?" In the future, if there are more people who praise Weichen, then Weichen will be afraid. ”

"Tsk, it's a good thing that the people praise you."

Sheng Hong understood what Li Qiao meant, but he didn't care, Li Aiqing was so generous, what happened to the people praising a few words?

He's not a small-bellied person.
