The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 1 Father Li’s thoughts

At the tail end of June, it was as hot as a big steamer at noon, and even the air was sticky and uncomfortable.

The cicada lying on the jujube tree in the yard of Li Yitian's house in the west of Xiahe Village kept screaming, making people sleepy.

In the main room, a room full of men, women, old and young were holding corn sticks and rubbing them. The grains fell onto the bamboo mats on the ground.

The door of the main room is open, and from time to time two drafts of wind blow in, which is quite cool.

Father Li threw the freshly rubbed corn kernels into the dustpan beside him. He stood up and went to the table to take a sip of cold water. The water dropped on his beard and he hurriedly wiped it with his hands. After rubbing it with both hands, he sat back and took two more corn sticks to prepare for further rubbing.

As soon as the two corn sticks touched each other, Father Li sneezed heavily. He couldn't help but raise his wrist and rub his nose, which felt very itchy.

Someone is talking about him!

Thinking like this, Father Li couldn't help but raise his eyes and look outside the hall. Through the fence, he could see in the Sun family hall opposite. Sun Laowang was lying on the rocking chair, fanning the cattail leaf, taking a rest and cooling down, very leisurely. .

He suddenly felt a little unhappy. The old Sun family was on the rise. The younger son passed the county examination in February and then the government examination in April. He became a serious boy. The news came back The whole village went to congratulate him.

It was just a child, and the people in the village were so fawning that they rushed to help the Sun family collect and grind corn.

It’s only been a few days, and the corn from Lao Sun’s family has been dried and put into the warehouse, but their family is still threshing it!
Sun's family only has three sons. Two sons plus me can provide a child. What about their family?
Father Li turned his gaze back to the main room, where his eldest son Li Jiren and his second son Li Jihe were rubbing Baogu leisurely.

The third son, Li Jifu, and the fourth son, Li Jigui, could not sit still. One of them was holding two corn sticks and rubbing them very hard. They couldn't hold back the sweat on their heads, but they couldn't get much out. The one who looked from left to right was sneaking around and being lazy.

He has four sons! When people in the village talk about it, who doesn't say he is lucky?
With so many sons working, can't they provide for a scholar?
Sun Wenming was dull and dull when he was a child, and he didn't look very clever. Who would have thought that he could still pass the exam as a child?
Compared with Sun Wenming, not to mention his sons, all of his grandchildren are not bad at all!
Father Li couldn't help but cast his eyes on his grandsons who were sitting behind his sons with a pile of rolled corns. There were so many grandsons, but they couldn't compare to Sun Wenming?

Father Li was very excited in his heart. He had never dealt with Sun Laowang across from him since he was a child. There was no reason for his sons to be born as children, and his children and grandchildren had to dig in the fields for food. If you don’t compare, who would be better? Do you know the result?

He took a deep breath, and at this moment, he finally made up his mind about what he had been thinking about for several days.

Then he exhaled the turbid breath, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, please stop, I have something to say."

Li Jigui, who had long been tired of rubbing his hands and didn't want to rub them anymore, was the first to stop. Regardless of what he was going to say, since his father had spoken, it would be a good idea to stop first.

Others also stopped one after another, looking at Father Li in the middle. Some were confused, and some were waiting to hear what Father Li had to say.

Seeing that the whole room was looking at him, Father Li didn't show any concern, and immediately spoke out what was in his heart, "I think our family can also support individuals to study."

What?
As soon as these words came out, the whole room thought they had heard wrongly.

The third child, Li Jifu, who has always had the temper of a firecracker, immediately answered, "Dad, what are you always talking about? Studying? Is that something our family can think about?"

Hearing these words, Father Li became dissatisfied and immediately glared at him, "What? Why can't our family think about it? Two sons from the Sun family can provide a scholar, but there are four sons from our Lao Li family! What more?" Including Brother Song and his brothers, can’t we support even one scholar?”

Li Jifu immediately laughed heartlessly and said: "Ren Sunda can earn thirty or forty taels of silver a year by killing pigs. Who in our family can compare with him!"

Father Li's face turned dark immediately. Huang looked at him and quickly pulled Li Jifu, who immediately shut his mouth.

Although he can say whatever comes to his mind, and he can be more outspoken than his brain, but he listens to his wife's advice and can surely hold him back.

Back then, Sun Laowang sent his eldest son to learn how to butcher pigs. Father Li was jealous and sent his eldest son, Li Jiren, to learn suona so that he could become a suona craftsman. Unfortunately, Li Jiren did not have this talent and his learning was not good. For many years, I couldn't play the suona well, so I had no choice but to follow the master's sons to earn a living and play the gong in the team. Every village in the ten li and eight villages would like to hire a group of propagandists for happy events. If there are many happy events and many white ones in a year, they can still earn three to five taels of silver.

When he saw that one of his sons was not up to the task, he immediately sent his second son, Li Jihe, to learn to be a carpenter. Unfortunately, Li Jihe was an honest person and did not know how to speak. He worked meticulously and was slow to get out of work. He was not famous, but I can't take on much work in a year, so it's good to earn three to five taels of silver.

The two sons added together were still not as good as one. Father Li turned his head and focused on his third and fourth sons.

It's a pity that the third son is a firecracker. Not long after he was sent to be an apprentice, his remarks made the master angry and he sent him back.

The fourth son was also a bigoted person and was fired by the shopkeeper not long after he was sent to work as a waiter.

There was no other way, so Father Li could only keep the two of them at home to farm.

In a blink of an eye, all the sons were married and had children, working on the land, and doing part-time jobs in their spare time. Although the life of the big family was tight, it was still manageable.

He thought that his son was not as good as Sun Laowang's son, but he had more sons and more grandchildren!

No matter how talented Sun Laowang is, he can't be better than him when he has a son, and his son can't be better than his son when he has a son.

In this way, it is a good way to comfort yourself.

But unexpectedly, Sun Laowang's son got pregnant. As long as Father Li thought of the bustle of the Sun family that day, and the villagers who couldn't stop complimenting and congratulating Sun Laowang, and the proud look that Sun Laowang looked at him, all he wanted to do was I couldn't get enough energy in my heart.

Therefore, no matter how hard or tiring it is to send his grandson to study, he has to do it. If he doesn't make steamed buns to fight for his reputation, he has to fight for it once, otherwise, he will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies!

"I have inquired carefully. The Fan family school only accepts new boys in the first month of each year. The annual training fee is five guan. There are still several months before the first month. Let's send them to the village school to give it a try first. I have already done this. It’s decided, just listen!”

In fact, he was also a little worried, fearing that his own materials were not of the same quality and wasting money. After all, there had been no scholars in the old Li family for several generations.

So it’s a good idea to send them to the village school first. The village school only opens in winter for three months every year. It doesn’t open in spring when farming is busy. It’s also cheap to start school. The teachers are old boys who are already in their fifties. Their family can afford thirty kilograms of grain.

If Ruowa can read, she can still grit her teeth and spend the five dollars.

Father Li doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he always means what he says, and what he says must be done.

Everyone in the room knew this, so no one questioned it.

If you study, just study. Who doesn’t want their children to study?
Li Jigui was careless, but his wife Jiang had an idea. She was the first to react and immediately asked: "Dad, we have so many children in our family. I wonder which one you would like to send?"

Now that the father-in-law has made a decision, he and his wife will definitely send a baby, so who to send is a question that everyone is concerned about.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Mrs. Huang, the third daughter-in-law, also said quickly: "That's right, there are so many babies! Dad, which one do you plan to give as a gift?"
