After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 10 What else can I do without reading?
Lu Sanbao helped Lu Daxiong bring a lot of prey home. Chen Xiaofang didn't ask her son, but when she was seen by Mrs. Lu, she narrowed her triangular eyes and asked Lu Sanbao why she had killed so many prey, but she came back empty-handed. up.

Lu Sanbao couldn't understand the meaning of grandma's words, secretly thought that his elder brother was wise and didn't let him bring the things back.

"That was all done by the elder brother. I am not as strong as him, and I am not as good at hunting as he is. At most, I am helping to run errands."

Old lady Lu still didn't give up, "Is running errands for nothing? Even brothers can't bully people like this!"

"Grandma, brother asked me to go sell prey with him tomorrow, and the money for running errands will naturally be settled together."

Anyway, Lu Sanbao was bitten to death, and everything belonged to the elder brother.

When hunting, no outsiders are present, it all depends on what they say.

Chen Xiaofang didn't think much about it, she just told her: "Your eldest brother is capable, if you have free time in the future, you can learn more from him."

"Got it, mother."

When Chen Xingyan saw the seedlings brought back by Lu Daxiong, he was overjoyed to plant them in the backyard.

I also purposely built a fence around the outside, for fear that something small would damage the seedlings.

In the evening, Lu Daxiong mentioned that he was going to sell prey in the county tomorrow, and asked her if there was anything she needed to buy.

Chen Xingyan thought over and over again, and felt that it was better not to mention the delivery of the letter for the time being. He didn't need to think about it, and even if she mentioned it, Lu Daxiong would not agree.

This time, because there is no particularly valuable Codonopsis ginseng, only gastrodia elata and astragalus, plus those prey, I got a total of more than two taels of silver.

Lu Sanbao saw that his elder brother could get so much money in exchange for a trip up the mountain, so his eyes were staring.

Last time they only sold prey together, but this time they sold medicinal materials together.

"Brother, I kept five copper coins for myself from the prey I sold last time, and gave my wife twenty for her to save, and I gave the rest to my mother."

Lu Daxiong nodded, then counted out two slings of money and put them in the basket for him, spread another piece of cloth on top, and put the grain he just bought.

After finishing these, Lu Daxiong counted out another fifty copper coins and gave them to him.

Lu Sanbao waved his hand and said no.

This time up the mountain, most of the prey was hunted by the elder brother, and the food was bought by the elder brother just now, so he can't ask for any more.

"These fifty copper coins, you take them back and hand them over to your errands. Let's say it's money for running errands with me for two days."

Lu Sanbao understood, but his heart was even more awkward.

"Then, what's in that basket?"

"Save the money for yourself. Think about what life you lived when you were a child, and what kind of life do you want your child to live in the future?"

As soon as he thought of his skinny and dry child, Lu Sanbao couldn't say anything.

This time back, Chen Xiaofang went to the river to wash clothes, not at home.

Lu Sanbao went directly into his room with the basket on his back, and then took out two slings of money to his wife, but his daughter-in-law was shocked.

Zhang's face turned pale, "Where did this money come from?"

Lu Sanbao made a silent movement, and told the ins and outs of the matter, Zhang's tears fell down when he heard it.

"Sure, then I'll put it away, and we can let the baby go to school after we save it."

Lu Sanbao smiled innocently, "From now on, I will follow the arrangement of my elder brother, and I will never let you and the baby go hungry."

After Chen Xiaofang came back, she took the fifty copper coins, and looked at her eldest grandson who was not tall, but also dark and thin, his nose was sore.

"Sifeng, steam some custard for a while, don't make any noise, and don't let the big room see it. When it's cooked, just call the baby and Sigou to eat in the kitchen."

"Got it, mother."

Lu Sanbao didn't hide this from Lu Sanbao, and he also knew that although they separated, they still lived together.

What kind of delicious food are they here?

But due to filial piety, Lu Erzhu couldn't say no to it.

It's been a long time, but those families think that the things of their second room are still public.

Lu Sanbao thought about what his elder brother said on the way back, and secretly made up his mind that he must earn more money, build a house outside as soon as possible, and get rid of those blood-sucking bugs as soon as possible!
When Lu Daxiong came back this time, he didn't plan to go up the mountain again in the short term.

Moreover, weeding and pest control will start in the field soon. Only he and his father can go to the field, so we still have to work hard on the field first.

Chen Xingyan stayed in the house every day, either reading a book or going to the backyard to tend her herbs.

After learning that both Lu Daxiong and Lu Xiaoniu could read, Chen Xingyan suggested that Lu Xiaoniu go to school.

Lu Xiaoniu is only fourteen this year, after this period of recuperation, his complexion is much ruddy, and he looks stronger.

It's good for Mrs. Wang to study, otherwise, her son is so weak that he won't be able to do heavy work in the future. How can he support his family?
If you can really win a scholar, then you shouldn't have to worry about it in the days to come.

Lu Xiaoniu had also studied for two years before, but his health was not good, and the family couldn't even eat, so how could he still be able to support him to study?

Seeing that life is getting better now, Lu Laohan is also thinking about sending Mavericks to study.

Lu Xiaoniu is still taking medicine. After the whole family discussed it, they finally let Lu Daxiong make up his mind.

"Xiao Niu reads at home first. Tomorrow I will go to town and borrow from a friend. He should have the Four Books and Five Classics. You can read it at home first. If you don't know it, you can ask your sister-in-law. Buy some paper and ink and come back, and copy the books yourself at home. After summer, when your body is stable, go to private school."

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, that's good.

Every winter and summer, Mavericks will become seriously ill again and again. Wait to see if it is mild this summer, and then go to school again in autumn.

It's just that everyone is satisfied, but Lu Xiaoniu is unwilling.

"I don't want to read."

"Why?" Wang asked anxiously, "If you don't study, what else can you do?"

After the words fell, maybe I felt that my words were a bit serious, and I hurried back to make amends, "Mother didn't mean that you can't do it. Although you are in better health now, you still can't do heavy work. Besides, if you study hard, you will be better in the future." To be able to take the exam for a master scholar is to bring honor to our family!"

Lu Laohan just stared at his youngest son without saying a word.

Chen Xingyan probably understood what this little uncle was thinking.

Lu Xiaoniu is a kind and considerate person. He doesn't want to study. To a large extent, it should be because he doesn't want to add another burden to his family.

Once you have guessed the reason, it is easy to persuade.

"Xiao Niu, your eldest brother's idea of ​​letting you study is also for the long-term. Even if you don't pass the exam in the future, at least you can read and write, and you can find an easy job in the town or county in the future. If it’s not good, you can set up a stall to write letters to people, what do you think?”
