Chapter 25: Can't be a burden to my sister

"Okay, before I leave the day after tomorrow, I'll arrange it for you. However, when my sister used to be a girl, her skills were average, and she didn't know if she had grown over the years since she got married. If you want to sell noodles, do you have to let me know how it tastes? ”

He has been on the go all these years, and even if he is frugal, he has tasted pasta from several places.

If the taste of the noodles they make is only edible, then he thinks that he can think of other ways to make money, and he doesn't necessarily have to set up a stall to sell noodles.

Wang Can glanced at the grain he had just bought and said, "How about eating noodles that night?" I'll show you a hand. ”

"Cheng, you look at the arrangement, I have to go to my grandmother's house, you are busy."

Li Jun is a man after all, and Wang Can in front of him is an unmarried girl, even if there are no outsiders in this family, it is not good for him to stay in the kitchen for long.

When he walked out after saying this, he saw Li Yuan, who was originally talking to the two children, waving at him.

"Junzi, come here."

Li Jun nodded and approached.

Li Yuan patted the stool next to him and asked him to sit down, and then he spoke: "Junzi, I am a good lady." It's not safe for her to live outside as an orphan girl without a father or mother, and it's getting colder and colder now, I want her to live in this winter, and then talk about it after the New Year, what do you think? ”

"Sister, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's that it's not suitable."

Li Jun was a little embarrassed, he was unmarried and Wang Can was not married, and the two of them were not young. Living under the same roof will inevitably damage the reputation of other girls.

I agreed to let her live at home before, but it was also because I only stayed at home for two days and had to go out for a dart, so it didn't hurt.

If you want to live until the next year, embarrassment is inevitable.

Li Yuan knew what he meant by being inappropriate, so she said, "I also know that this is not appropriate, but I asked Canniang, and she said she didn't mind."

Besides, she is in the same room with me, and in the future, we will partner to set up a stall, and we will be outside all day long, and we will not let you get along day and night.

She's not afraid, what are you afraid of? Junzi, I want to make money to support my family, and I also want to help my family pay off their debts if I can, so that you don't have to worry about money and can pick up books. ”

When Li Jun heard that she was going to help repay the money, he hurriedly refused while being touched in his heart.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about the family's debts, I will pay them back. Keep your money for yourself, and don't spend it indiscriminately. Yesterday, my grandfather specially told me not to use you. ”

Li Yuan didn't think that as a married woman, she couldn't help her mother's family repay her debts.

Of course, she is not a demon who helps her brother, she thinks about her mother's family and completely ignores herself.

She just wants to help, and that's within her power.

In addition, in the memory of the original owner, Li Jun has a talent for reading.

In the current era of agriculture and industry, and scholars are placed in the first place.

For ordinary people, only reading is the best way out.

If Li Jun can be admitted to fame, then he is her and the children's biggest supporter.

is like her father, even if he is just a showman, but when he is alive, he is also the object of everyone's respect.

Maybe in Fucheng, because there are many people, it is not rare, let alone a show.

But so what?

It's already good to be able to show off your talent in a small place.

In some villages, if you can be admitted to the children's examination, they are all scholars who are respected by everyone.

She doesn't have a great goal, and even if she escapes the famine next year, it doesn't mean that she won't come back in the future.

When the time comes, when the famine is over, we will still have to move back.

In this place, it is enough to have the identity of Xiucai.

In any case, it is better to have a meritorious name than a white body, at least the official does not have to kneel.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Li Jun is okay.

Otherwise, why would she have to work hard and spend money to provide for the white-eyed wolf.

Li Yuan, who was thinking so in his heart, looked at the person in front of him with a serious face.

"Junzi, you have a talent for reading, before Dad leaves, I hope you can continue to read. If you can get famous, your two nieces and I will have something to rely on in the future. Now that you're in your early teens, it's not too late to pick up your books again. ”

"Sister, I don't think it's necessary. It costs a lot to study, and I'm too old to rely on you to provide for it.

Besides, I will marry a wife and have children in the future, this study and fame is not an overnight thing, I can't let you or my daughter-in-law work hard for me in the future, so am I still a man?

What's more, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are the most expensive, and my father also provided them with the strength of the whole family. ”

When Li Jun said this, seeing what else she wanted to say, she said again: "Dad said that I have a talent for reading, and that was when I was young." Now I haven't touched a book for many years, and it takes a lot of effort to pick it up, and there is no guarantee that I will be able to pass the exam. ”

What's more, he still owes more than 20 taels, and ordinary people only save three or five taels all year round, and that is still a good year.

He couldn't try to empty his sister's money just because he knew that she had twenty taels of silver in her hand.

If he owes three or five taels, then he doesn't have to work as hard as he does now.

Finding a job as a bookkeeper in the county town, there are hundreds of dollars a month, which is better than running around.

That way, whenever he has free time, he can pick up the book.

Li Yuan heard him say this, and stared at him seriously for a while before asking, "Junzi, you don't care about external factors such as money." Just tell me, if there is still a chance to study, would you like to? ”

Li Jun's eyes lowered and he shook his head slightly: "I don't want to!" ”

After saying this, he looked up at her: "Sister, even if I don't have fame, I can rely on you and the two children." You don't have to think about anything, you don't have to care, you just have to live a good life. I still have something to do, I need to go to the old house. ”

After saying this, Li Jun turned around and left, he couldn't become a burden to his sister just because he wanted to study.

Li Yuan was a little distressed when she saw this!

Since the child is gone, he has put all the pressure on himself, even if she, who is a sister, is now willing to share, but while refusing, he also wants to use his own hands to support their mother and daughter.

Such a younger brother, how can she not help when she has the ability?

She didn't know how much he owed out now, so she went back and asked someone to take a look.

Then Xie Yanzhi and Yang Gaowu have a good relationship with him, ask them, maybe they will know.

At present, in addition to the twenty taels that Liu Dongsheng paid for, she also collected thirty-eight taels from Liu's house before.

After a few days, the Liu family's title deed will be sold, and these will add up to one hundred taels, which should be enough to repay.

As for the things to escape the famine in the coming year, the existing ones in her space should be able to last for a while.

The cellar of the Liu family that was emptied by her, because two crops of rice were planted, there were nearly 1,000 catties of unthreshed millet.

This is only grown in paddy fields, and in dry fields, sweet potatoes and potatoes are cultivated.

However, these are either made into sweet potato rice or dried potatoes.
