The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 58 I Have My Own Home

Now Li Sanlang has more than a month's vacation, and the two of them can face each other day and night, thinking about Fang Qingqing, it still feels good.

This trip Li Sanlang came back with a lot of things, big and small bags, the whole cart was full.

In addition to his own luggage and bedding, there are some New Year's goods and small gifts he brought to his family.

Some small snacks were bought for the little sister, nephew and niece, and the gadgets were for the two sister-in-laws, and the new year's goods that Li Dalang bought back.

This is also Li's mother's wisdom. There must be more things in the county and they are cheaper. Anyway, if you are going to pick up Saburo, you must not make an empty trip.

Simply, prepare the New Year's goods in advance, the closer to the end of the year, the more expensive things will be at that time.

Because the family has made a lot of money in the past two months, Li's mother was generous this time, and gave Li Dalang money to buy new year's goods.

As a result, after Li Dalang took the money out, he brought back a lot of money and returned it to Li's mother.

Shi Shi was very surprised, "It's not that I bought a lot of things, why didn't I spend any money?"

But she knew that the boss had always been honest and had no private money at all.

Absolutely can't do it, these things are things he subsidizes money to buy.

But Li Dalang said: "Mother, these things are all bought by Sanlang."

Seeing his mother's complexion|color|is not very good, Li Sanlang hurriedly stepped forward and confessed: "Mother, these days I have copied more books than before, so I got a few more money.

Thinking that you have always been saving money to study with me, it is rare for me to have a chance to earn a little money, and I also want to buy something for you. "

In fact, he still imitated his little daughter-in-law in talking like this, but Li Sanlang knew that the effect was very good.

Because several times, when he saw Fang Qingqing say this, his mother was very happy.

So, Xiucai Lang, who has always been a strong learner, also learned to make his mother happy in this way.

Of course, Li Sanlang did not forget to add:

"Mother, don't worry, Master's teaching progress will be much slower after winter. I won't delay my studies, I will do these things in my spare time."

Having said that, Shi still feels distressed: "If you have free time, you might as well rest more. It is important to take care of your health. Now that you have other income at home, you don't have to worry about your tight schedule anymore."

As explained last time, copying books is tantamount to re-reading the books he has read, which is helpful for his study.

After thinking about it, this time Li Sanlang simply told his family:
"It's okay, copying books is good for me, it's like reviewing homework, and the price given to me by the shopkeeper who is familiar with our master is very good."

"How good can it be?" Shi Shi asked casually, with a hint of contempt in his tone.

Such an attitude can't be blamed on her, the importance of having a good daughter-in-law has long been reflected in Lao Li's house.

First, there is tofu, tofu curd, soy milk, pancake fruit, and now dried tofu.

Anyway, Maodong is staying at home, so apart from old man Li and mother Li, the rest of the family went out to make money together.

At the end of the day, everything was sold out, and I made a full [-] Wen after deducting the cost.

Eight hundred Wen, it's only a day's work. In the past month, the family only saved one, two, three or three taels.

Holding those copper coins in his hand at that time, Shi was so excited that he couldn't sleep when he went back to his room at night, so he took out the stringed coins and counted them again.

The family members are not very good at counting, and it is difficult to count more than one hundred. Rao, old man Li has been more knowledgeable when he goes out in his life.

It's just a matter of counting to one hundred and five, and the following ones can't be connected in series.

Smart people are still smart people, but it turned out to be the method taught by Qingqing, first of all, every ten copper coins are strung together.

She said that it was Saburo who taught her that ten strings of ten copper coins add up to one hundred Wen, which is another knot.

After repeating this, Shi finally learned how to count to [-] Wen.

That night, she stayed up until the cock crowed and didn't fall asleep, so now that she heard that the price offered by the shopkeeper of the bookstore was good, she really didn't care too much.

"The main thing is the number of pages in the book. Generally speaking, it costs about three or four hundred Wen to copy a book."

"How much?" Shi Shi was taken aback.

Fortunately, she wasn't walking at the moment, otherwise she might have stumbled.

So Li Sanlang repeated his words again: "If you copy a book, you can get three or four hundred coins. If I work hard and concentrate, I can copy a book in a few days."

Of course, what he didn't tell his family was that not all copyists had such quotations.

The shopkeeper generally reads the person's handwriting and the workmanship before setting the price. In addition, his reputation as the head of the desk is of course a lot of credit.

In fact, despite Li Sanlang's calm smile at this moment, he was still a little uneasy.

Without it, in fact, apart from buying new year's goods, he still has some money in his purse.

The men in Lao Li's family were not fond of hiding private money, like his father, who had worked outside for so many years, would hand in all the wages he got when he came back.

And he...

I really feel sorry for my parents, and there must be other ways to make up for it in the future.

At this moment, Li Sanlang still had to stick to his own ideas and practices.

He is already married and has his own small family. Besides his parents, he should also treat his wife better.

Li Xiuping didn't know, his short words not only frightened his mother.

Even Li's sister-in-law, Li's second sister-in-law, who heard it from the side, was very surprised. Before, she knew that her brother-in-law was outside to help people copy books to make money.

But I didn't know there were so many. This kind of intuitive feeling in numbers deeply shocked the hearts of the two sisters-in-law.

These days, although I went out to do small business and made some money, but every day when I went out early and returned late to the wind and sun, there was no brother-in-law who could earn money by sitting in the house, reading and writing.

Sure enough, it is better to study, reading is the best way out for a farmer, what can be achieved by working in the fields all his life?
Looking at each other, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a consensus, even if it is a little harder in the future, they must let their children go to school too!
Although Li Dalang went to the city early in the morning to pick up Saburo, but after all it was the annual vacation, and the master in the school had many things to explain.

And they were delayed for a long time in the county to buy things, so it was already mid-afternoon when they got home.

After I came back, I was reunited with my family again. I basically took a bath and changed clothes in a hurry, and then it was time for dinner.

Then, the young couple finally went back to their room, and they could talk about themselves alone.

Li Xiuping's living habits are very good, and he does everything by himself, not to mention the housekeeping, so after he came back, Li Dalang just helped him move things.

In fact, Li Sanlang took all his luggage back to his room and sorted it, including a small baggage that he put aside on purpose.
