Chapter 2 The children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age
Sun Guiping also knew the situation, but she didn't say anything.
As night fell, the lights in Heishui Village shone quietly.
"Wow, so delicious mom. Zhou Tian gobbled it up. The stew at night obviously satisfied Zhou Tian's stomach that had not eaten meat for a long time, and the chopsticks in his hand never left the cauldron in the middle. Half of the wild boar at night fell into his stomach. A small half was chewed and fed to Zhou Ling'er by Zhou Tian's mother. And Zhou Lihai and Sun Guiping occasionally ate some minced meat. But watching the joy of his two children eating, my heart is also comforted.
......
"Ah Hai, I went to the old village chief a few days ago to find out, and I heard that to go to the Star Spirit City Star Spirit Academy to cultivate, the tuition fee is 100 gold coins. plus the things purchased, the bits and pieces add up to nearly 300 gold coins, if it weren't for the fact that you met a kind big employer today, Xiao Tian didn't know if there was any hope to study. Alas, even so, there was a difference of more than 160 gold coins. and Ling'er's brain, which is also a big problem. In the inner room, Sun Guiping's sigh pulled Zhou Lihai back to reality. Yes, even if such a good thing happens, the resources that Zhou Tian has to cultivate, as well as Ling'er's treatment money, are still not enough.
"It's all because I don't have the ability, but Xiaotian's tuition, I'll figure it out, don't worry about Ling'er's illness, for the time being, I'll make up Xiaotian's tuition, don't worry." It's you, who have followed me, and have suffered so much in the past few years. Zhou Lihai looked at his wife who was lying next to him and pillowed his arm. I feel very sorry for my wife. She has never bought cosmetics, and other people of her age are not dressed up beautifully.
"Big fool, am I trying for your money? We've been here for so many years, if I wanted your money, I wouldn't have chosen you in the first place. Sun Guiping chuckled and hammered Zhou Lihai's chest.
"I know that it is precisely because you don't want this that I feel guilty, and in this life, my greatest blessing is to have you. There are also two children. β
"It's all old husbands and wives, and they still say such sensational things. I like to listen to it though. Sun Guiping said with a smile.
"If you like to hear me, I talk about it every day. Hahaha. However, Ping'er, don't worry, Xiaotian's tuition, I promise that it is enough, in this life, I can't let Xiaotian follow my old path again. Zhou Lihai thought about it for a long time, as if he had made a very important decision. He looked at his wife with a firm look in his eyes and said.
"Well, I know. It is also fortunate that God treats our family well, although Ling'er has some problems with her brain, but she has always been very well-behaved, and Xiaotian has also reached the cultivation qualification. "Three years ago, the initial awakening in the village preliminarily determined that Zhou Tian was a third-grade lower-level Jin Linggen.
The students recruited by the Star Spirit Academy must be at least six years old, and the spirit root must reach the second grade lower level, unless some special spirit root appears, the conditions will be relaxed to accept the first grade lower spirit root students. Zhou's preliminary conditions were apparently met.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Zhou Tian got up, full of energy.
If only I could eat wild boar every day, Zhou Tian thought, obviously not recovering from last night's wild boar. Still reminiscing about last night.
Zhou Lihai has obviously gone to work. Because there is still half a year before the arrival of the True Knowledge Day, Zhou Tian can still play in this half year, but Zhou Tian is not very old, but he is sensible, while helping his mother do what he can, while taking care of his sister, so as not to let his mother be distracted at home when she is busy with work.
When his sister Zhou Ling'er stopped sleeping quietly, Zhou Tian returned to his room and took out a tattered book without a cover from the wooden box under the bed. Then he went back to his sister and looked through the nameless book to see if his sister was drooling from time to time. Occasionally, he frowned again, and made some inexplicable gestures.
Zhou Tian didn't know what these postures meant, but at noon one day when he was five years old, Zhou Tian didn't take a nap, ran to the small hill behind the village, and was about to pick up some firewood to go home as firewood, and accidentally met an old man in a beggar's costume, the old man seemed to be hungry for a long time, and he was weak to speak, and asked Zhou Tian for some food and drink, Zhou Tian was kind-hearted, and ran home without saying a word, and took his family's lunch to the old man to eat, and the old man repaid Zhou Tian with this inexplicable book, and said some strange things such as chaos and warγ Although I didn't understand what those words were, there was one thing that Zhou Tian remembered. That is, the old man said that if you learn these things, you can become very powerful. You also have to keep a brave and fearless heart, and let yourself promise to stick to your heart and never forget your original intention. Zhou Tian didn't think about it so much at the beginning, naively learning from the nameless old beggar, and making the most ignorant and naΓ―ve promise in this life.
For this broken book, I was scolded last time, and I just put on some strange poses, and it didn't work for a year of study. Zhou Tian muttered while learning postures, he didn't understand, why didn't it work, once he was discovered by his father, so he also showed it to his father Zhou Lihai, Zhou Lihai couldn't see why, fortunately learning these postures, although he couldn't practice, but it didn't damage his body, Zhou Lihai knew that some spirits couldn't be cultivated casually, although he couldn't understand what it meant for the people painted in them to do those postures. But seeing that it doesn't affect Zhou Tian's healthy body, it's up to Zhou Tian to go by himself. Obviously, in Zhou Lihai's eyes, that old man is equated with a liar.
But Zhou Tian didn't seem to give up. Although he felt in his heart that what his father said was right, he still didn't give up, so when he was alone, he would take it out and learn it. Although I didn't learn anything, after a year, Zhou Tian still felt a little different in my body, I can't say what was different, but sometimes I felt good. Zhou Tian doesn't know if he learned the reason for the posture in this book, but it seems that he doesn't know how to explain it except for this explanation.
Another toss, still didn't feel anything, Zhou Tian was a little excited, the sun was shining outside, it was almost noon, Zhou Tian came back to his senses all of a sudden.
I almost forgot to make lunch, but I didn't expect to learn anything, and the time was wasted in the morning, two hours, and it had slipped away unconsciously. Zhou Tian screamed, looked down and saw his sister's black eyes, looking at him in confusion, Zhou Tian hurriedly picked up his sister Zhou Ling'er and ran to the kitchen.
Wash the rice, put it in the pot, wash the vegetables, and prepare the firewood. Seeing that Zhou Tian is not very old, he has done all this, but he is so organized. Obviously, this is not the first time for Zhou Tian.
Finally, before his mother Sun Guiping came back, it was almost done.
Seeing that his mother Sun Guiping looked tired, Zhou Tian quickly picked up a cup of warm water on the table that had been poured before cooking, felt that the water temperature was just right, and handed it to his mother.
Sun Guiping smiled softly, touched her head, and drank it.
Seeing that his mother was back, Zhou Tian began to pack meals again, simple one meal and two vegetarian dishes. Zhou Tian did it in a few seconds, then hugged his sister Ling'er and went out again.
Obviously, Zhou Tian sent food to his father Zhou Lihai. This is a homework that must be done every day on Sunday, and it is also one of the things he likes to do, because he can go out and see different things outside, and children are playful by nature, which is the commonality.
Nearly half an hour, it was finally delivered, and I felt the residual warmth of the lunch box made of red crown wood in my hand. Zhou Tian hooked his right hand slightly, grabbed the white clothes, and wiped the slight sweat on his forehead. I can see that although I am panting, I am still in a good mood.
"Dad, here you go. As he handed it over, he sat down directly to the side.
"Okay, good work. β
"Xiaotian is here to deliver food again, good boy. β
"How long has Xiaotian been running today?"
A few of the five big and three rough old men around saw that Zhou Tian was coming, and they began to coax again.
Zhou Tian's face was slightly red, and there was a hint of embarrassed smile at the corner of his mouth, which could see the shyness in his heart.
"I ran for less than half an hour. After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he said, "Dad, I'm walking around here, and I'll come over and tell you when I go home." β
"Okay, go ahead, be careful. Don't run too far, go home as soon as you go around the nearby market. Zhou Lihai saw that the only time Zhou Tian could come out every day was to bring food to himself, so it didn't limit this kid's playful nature. And the little guy often comes over.,It's okay to run around the nearby market.,Basically, some friends in the neighborhood know him as their son.,There's no big problem with safety.,Just let him go.γ
