Chapter 45 Anxiety
A dazed look flashed in Tao Zuoliang's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Second brother, you have always liked reading. Both grandfather and uncle are shrewd people, how could they not have thought of this back then?"

"Brother, after the grandfather and grandmother are gone, our two houses will be separated. As long as the family is separated, the long house is a craftsman's family, and the second brother really wants to study well, and our house is a scholarly family. Alas, I want to It makes sense, you two don't get entangled."

Tao Zuoran stretched out his hand and slapped Tao Zuozhu: "Don't talk nonsense, my grandfather and uncle were right to worry. How many scholars can be admitted in Fenzhou every year? Someone has won a Jinshi."

Tao Zuoliang somewhat understood Tao Zuoran's thinking, and said helplessly, "Our family doesn't have many books, and besides the talent for reading, we also need to read a lot of books.

If the second child was lucky enough to be a child, he would go to higher education, and the family would probably not continue to provide for him.In this way, he needs to take an exam every year to keep his reputation as a Tongsheng.How great it is now, instead of reading books for exams, I can concentrate on improving my carpentry skills. "

Tao Zuozhu shifted his gaze to Tao Zuoran's face, and when he saw him nodding, he sighed, "Sure enough, if there is gain, there will be loss, so that's good, second brother doesn't have to think about keeping his fame from now on."

Tao Zuoran smiled, but he didn't say that the government now only takes the first 15 years of the students who have the reputation of being a child, and they will take exams every year to verify their knowledge. After 15 years, as long as the children's character is clean, there will be no academic examinations for them.

Both Tao Zuoliang and Tao Zuoran thought the matter was over, but Tao Zuozhu didn't pass it in his heart. After looking for opportunities and inquiring about some news, he said to Bao Wufu: "Let's run the store well and save the money. For children to read."

Bao Wufu originally discussed with him the important matter of having children, but after hearing his decision suddenly, he was still happy in his heart and asked, "Do you think we will only have sons in the future?"

Tao Zuozhu could hear the seriousness in her tone, and said with a smile: "If there is a sensible and lovely daughter like Niuniu, I will be happy too."

What they said at night, the next day, Bao Wufu carefully observed Tao Qingbi, seeing her smiling and taking care of Tao Weiqi, she felt itchy in her heart, Tao Zuozhu was right, if the next daughter is next, she should be like Tao Qingbi temper.

Seeing Bao Wufu staring at her, Tao Qingbi smiled at Bao Wufu and said, "Auntie, the porridge is no longer hot, you can eat it. You can eat even Qi'er."

She said "ah" directly to Tao Weiqi, and Tao Weiqi opened her mouth obediently, and she directly fed a spoonful of porridge into it.

Bao Wufu bowed his head to drink the porridge, An Erzhi came over and took the spoon in Tao Qingbi's hand: "Niu Niu, forget about your brother, you drink the porridge from your own bowl first."

Tao Qingbi started to eat one spoon after another, while Bao Wufu watched her eat, and then finished the porridge in his own bowl.

The snow stopped, and there were more pedestrians on the street. Perhaps An Erzhi allowed the two children to sit outside the shop. Tao Qingbi and Tao Weiqi went out of the shop happily.

In some shops, there were already customers looking at the goods, and in some shops, there was the sound of the shopkeeper greeting the customers. Tao Qingbi looked at the passers-by, and she dragged Tao Weiqi into the shop.

Seeing her in a hurry, An Erzhi came over to look outside the shop, then squatted down and asked Tao Qingbi and Tao Weiqi, "Aren't you watching the fun outside?"

"Mother, it's windy outside, I want to guard the shop." Tao Qingbi shouted to An Erzhi loudly, pulling Tao Weiqi who was still about to go outside.

Tao Weiqi stopped, looked up at her, and screamed: "Sister, go out and play."

An Erzhi covered her ears: "You siblings discussed and decided."

An Erzhi went back to the stove to warm up, Tao Qingbi dragged Tao Weiqi to the stove, Tao Weiqi wanted to break free, and Tao Qingbi reprimanded her with a dark face, "If you dare to go out, I'll break your calf."

An Erzhi frowned slightly, but seeing the expression on her daughter's face, her heart beat faster.

Tao Zuoran said that some children are naturally sensitive, and sometimes, as adults, they have to act according to the child's wishes.Her daughter was determined not to leave the shop, so she naturally wouldn't let her go out of the shop.

At noon, An Erzhi watched her son and daughter clapping their hands. Hearing the movement at the door of the shop, she raised her eyes and saw Wen Liuniang and Tao Qingyao, mother and daughter. She stood up and greeted them with a smile.

After Wen Liuniang and Tao Qingyao sat down by the stove, An Erzhi came in and brought two glasses of water, and Wen Liuniang and her daughter took the cups to warm their hands.

An Erzhi smiled and said, "The snow has stopped and the weather is getting warmer. Are sister-in-law and Yao'er out shopping?"

Wen Liuniang smiled and nodded: "These days, Yao'er made us winter clothes. It's a rare sunny day, so I take her out to relax."

"Yao'er is getting taller, more beautiful and more capable now." An Erzhi looked at Tao Qingyao and praised.

Tao Qingyao blushed and said shyly, "Auntie, I haven't seen Bi'er for quite a while. She has grown up and made a good friend."

Wen Liuniang cast a reproachful glance at her daughter, then turned to An Erzhi and explained: "She has always been willing to get close to Bi'er, but the age gap between the two sisters is too big, and they can't find a suitable opportunity to get along with each other."

An Erzhi's heart was full of embarrassment, the eldest room treated Tao Qingyao as a treasure, and their second room did not treat Tao Qingbi as grass, so why did Wen Liuniang say hypocritical socializing words in front of her.

An Erzhi also smiled and said: "Yao'er has this intention, when Niuniu is a few years older, she will understand that you are a good sister."

An anxious look flashed across Tao Qingyao's face, Wen Liuniang said to An Erzhi: "Sister and sister, Yao'er is free now, she can accompany Bi'er for a walk."

An Erzhi's complexion suddenly changed. In spring, Tao Qingyao took Tao Qingbi to play for a while, and her daughter almost died of illness.

"Sister-in-law, I don't allow my children to go out of the shop in this weather. You and Yao'er are going to go shopping, so take advantage of the early weather, so hurry up and take a look around."

When Tao Qingyao heard An Erzhi's refusal, she immediately said to An Erzhi with an unhappy expression on her face, "Auntie, do you believe me? Do you think I won't take good care of Bier?"

An Erzhi saw that Wen Liuniang was silent at the side. As an elder, she was not happy when she was stared at by a junior like this, and said bluntly: "You are still a child, I don't care. I will rest assured that you will take Niuniu out."

"Auntie, you just praised me for my ability. Let me take Bi'er out for a walk."

An Erzhi became more and more worried, and she said directly to Wen Liuniang: "Sister-in-law, you are also a mother, and you should understand the heart of being a mother best. Niuniu is by my side, so I feel at ease. If you have something to do, just go."
