Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 13

As soon as these words came out, Li Shoucai, who was silent on the side, looked at his father with dissatisfaction.

Land is the foundation of a farmer's livelihood, and he is generally reluctant to sell it unless absolutely necessary.

In order for his brother to study, not only would he have to drain his family's wealth, he would not even be able to save his family's land!
  "Dad, I'm already in my thirties, and I'm still a child. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the college entrance examination." Li Shoucai endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Don't do anything to me at home." The fields are gone. Without the fields, our whole family will drink from the northwest wind, right?"

"Shou Cai, how can you say such a thing!"

The old man of the Li family opened his mouth to curse a few words, but Li Shoude stood up and said: "Second brother, how can you think like this? I am admitted as a scholar, why don't you also take advantage of me!"

"Yes, yes!" Ms. Zhu also quickly stood up and grabbed her man, "Master, please don't be confused. If your eldest brother is admitted as a scholar, you are the younger brother of the scholar. How dare anyone outside look down on you?"

And she is the scholar's sister-in-law. How honorable it is to tell the truth!

Li Shoucai pursed his lips twice and said nothing, but he still looked up at his father with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Obviously they are both sons of the Li family, and the eldest brother can go to the town to study and obtain academic honors, so the whole family does not have to work in the fields. As for him, he was facing the loess and turning his back to the sky. Compared with his brother, he was in the sky and on the earth.

The old man of the Li family looked at his son with dissatisfied eyes, knowing that he had been indebted to him over the years, but with the financial resources of the old Li family, they could only afford to support one scholar at most.

Finally, he let out a long sigh: "Hey, Shoude, just take a good rest for a few days when you get home, and we'll figure out a way to deal with the money later."

After speaking, there is no more text.

When the old woman saw that the whole family was silent, she simply got up and called Mrs. Zhu to go to the kitchen together.

As soon as Mrs. Sun saw her mother-in-law leaving, she immediately moved to sit next to her sister-in-law Xiufen, took out a small rouge box from under the bundle of cloth she had just packed, and stuffed it into Li Xiufen's hand.

"Sister-in-law, this is the rouge and gouache I bought for you in the county. All the ladies from wealthy families wear this style. It's so expensive!"

When Li Xiufen heard this, she was about to open the rouge box with surprise and joy: "Sister-in-law, if I apply these rouge and gouache, will I be like those ladies from wealthy families and be able to marry those dignitaries?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. If you put on these rouge and gouache, you will definitely charm those rich people!" Mrs. Sun laughed a few times, but there was a trace of ridicule in her eyes.

Some cheap rouge and gouache that no one wanted made my sister-in-law, a farmer who had never seen the world, smile happily, so it was not a loss.

"Sister-in-law, when your brother is admitted as a scholar, I will buy you rouge and gouache every day, so that you can dress up beautifully and marry a good family!" Mrs. Sun continued to say calmly, "You spend the evening with my mother. Mention something in her ear more often when sleeping. Your brother is getting older. If he fails to pass the exam again, he may have no hope in the future..."

"Yeah, I understand. I'll tell you tonight, she listens to me the most!"

"Also, if the money really can't be raised..." Mrs. Sun said this, she glanced at the old man smoking a dry cigarette with a sad face next to her, and then lowered her voice and said: "As for money, we have other things to do. There’s a way to make it happen.”

"What can I do?" Li Xiufen asked blankly.

"Come here, I'll tell you carefully..."

……

At night.

The Li family went to the upper room.

"What did you say! Did you find a good match for Erya?" The old lady of the Li family turned over and sat up on the kang, as if she was afraid that she heard wrongly.

"That's what my sister-in-law told me during the day." Li Xiufen nodded, "They are a wealthy family in the county, and they have a mansion at home! As long as Erya is married, they are willing to give her a bride price of ten taels of silver!" Ten taels of silver! So much?!" Even the old man of the Li family sitting next to him was so shocked that he sat up from the bed.

"Is there really such a good thing?" The old woman rolled her eyes, then looked at her daughter, "Do you really mean what you say?"

Li Xiufen curled her lips: "If you don't believe it, why don't you ask your sister-in-law in person tomorrow morning?"

"Oh, my daughter, if there is such a good thing, why bother to buy something that loses money? It's not the same if you marry me!" the old woman said quickly.

Seeing that Li Xiufen's eyes also lit up, she said again: "Don't worry, wait until I see your sister-in-law tomorrow to ask about this matter!"

If such a good thing happened, why didn't she marry her daughter Li Jinfeng?

Although the old lady of the Li family is usually fierce and domineering, she still has the right sense of mind.

……

at the same time.

After dinner, Jiang Xiaoxiao and her mother were lying on the comfortable and soft bedding.

She bought a lot of things in the town during the day, including oil, salt, and meat. Her mother didn't have to be as secretive as before when cooking. She used all the onions, ginger, garlic and seasonings, and made stir-fried eggplant. Stewed pork with cabbage, and steamed a big pot full of white rice!
  Jiang Xiaoxiao was full again.

But looking at the dilapidated beams above her head, she couldn't help but think of the plot in the original book.

It's June now, and when winter comes, snow disasters are going to happen here, and many weak houses will be crushed by heavy snow.

The little shabby house they lived in was definitely not immune to the problem. They had to find a way to remind her mother to find someone to repair and strengthen the house.

"Mom, we made so much money today, can we find someone to repair this house?" Jiang Xiaoxiao lay next to Jiang Wei and whispered.

"No rush." ​​Jiang Wei shook his head.

"Mom, but-"

Just as Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to speak, Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Do you still expect us to live in this shabby house forever? Now that we have money, how about building a new house in one step?"

"Build a new house?" Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is great! With the new house we can live more comfortably, so when will we build a house?"

"This can't be rushed. Mom needs time to plan it carefully."

Probably because of the habit of staying in the apocalypse for a long time, Jiang Wei looks down on these mud houses in ancient times. Although the blue brick and large tile houses are good, she would rather use modern cement and steel bars to build an indestructible house!

Only a house like that could give her enough security.

Moreover, her space has cement and steel bars. She stocked up a lot during the last days, which is enough to build a small building!
  However, she didn't know what excuse to use, and she still had to find a way to get through the village with the money to build a house...

As the night got darker, the mother and daughter gradually fell asleep while dreaming about their new house.

A night without dreams.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao woke up early the next morning, she turned around and saw her mother rinsing her mouth in the yard, holding a bamboo toothbrush with an antique texture but that looked like a modern product.
