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

Chapter 2 Drawing lots is the fairest
The Li family is one of the most prominent families in Xiahe Village. There are more than 100 households in the village, and the Li family accounts for half of them.

Not to mention the large number of households in the Li family, even the prosperous population in each household is the envy of the villagers.

Let’s talk about Father Li. He has a brother above him.

The eldest brother Li Yishan has three sons and one daughter;

Further down the line, Li Yishan has seven grandchildren and three granddaughters, and Father Li has eleven grandsons and seven granddaughters.

Nothing compares to it, but compared to population, no family in the village can compare with his family.

So when Father Li wants to win this reputation, he really doesn't just think about it casually.

Although the first few grandsons are older and have passed the age of enlightenment, there are still four grandsons who are the right age, and they happen to be one for each room.

But who will send the four grandchildren?

Father Li also paused for a moment.

He glanced at his four grandchildren. Li Rongtan from the oldest family was six years old, Li Rongzhang from the second oldest family was eight years old, Li Rongfeng from the third oldest family was eight years old, and Li Ronghua from the fourth oldest family was nine years old.

Just by looking at them, he couldn't tell who was better at reading.

Seeing their father-in-law paused and seemed to be hesitating, the two sisters-in-law Huang, who was quick-thinking, and Jiang, who was always ambitious, looked at each other casually, showing that they each had their own special powers.

Huang said: "Dad, Brother Feng has been smart since he was a child. Sun Wenming across the street is studying in the yard, and Brother Feng can learn the language after just a few ears! Without talking too much, he can already recite several three-character books. That’s it, he has a good memory, send him to study to ensure his future success!”

Jiang didn't hesitate to give in: "Dad, Brother Hua is smarter! He often goes to see Brother Li to play, and from time to time he looks at his sixth uncle's abacus, and he thinks he is young and old! They are just a few brothers. He can count up to a hundred coins at a time while helping his mother count coins! Send him to study, and I'll make sure he earns some money for you, dad!"

She was talking about Li Yishan's youngest son, Li Jili, who was the sixth in their generation and was now working as a bookkeeper in the city. Li Geer was his youngest son, who was eleven years old this year.

The eldest sister-in-law Wu and the second sister-in-law Song looked at each other and did not argue.

Father Li is a man of one character, but with such a big family, as the head of the family, it is natural that the bowl of water should be balanced, otherwise it will not be conducive to harmony.

Father Li was thinking about it, but Mr. Huang and Mr. Jiang didn't stop, and kept trying to tease their children.

Li Shiliu, who was sitting behind Mrs. Song and counting the grains, couldn't help but quickly raised her head and glanced at the two aunts.

Whenever there is a dispute in this family, the third and fourth aunts are the most enthusiastic.

The two parents came from the same village. I heard that they had a bit of a flair when they were daughters. I never thought that they would marry into the same family and become sisters-in-law.

Pomegranate often heard her nanny Yuan murmuring that it was the matchmaker who said it nicely in the first place, but she didn't ask for details. Otherwise, knowing that these two people were not good friends, she would definitely not have taken them back as wives.

If it weren't for the pressure from the mother-in-law above, the two of them would have had a huge quarrel.

The quarrel has stopped, but there is always a disagreement between them openly or covertly, and the two of them can always find something to talk about and argue with each other.

Let alone such a big deal.

Reading, all things are inferior, only reading is high. As Li Shiliu with a modern soul, even though it has been twelve years since she was born in this era, she has not been assimilated by this era. It can be said that she is better than everyone here. Everyone knows that reading can change their destiny.

Didn't she just rely on reading in her previous life to get out of the small mountain village step by step and see the outside world?

She turned her head and looked at her younger brother Zhang Geer, thinking that her parents were honest, they were neither the eldest nor the youngest, and they would not compete with the eldest brother at the top or with the younger brothers at the bottom, but she hoped that Zhang Zhang Brother can have this opportunity.

I don’t know what grandpa would choose.

Father Li was still thinking about it. Old Yuan, who always had rules and regulations, was heartbroken by the quarrel between his two daughters-in-law. He couldn't help but said: "Let's draw lots!"

Although Father Li is right in his words, he values ​​his hard-working and capable wife who has given birth to five children for him. As long as Old Yuan talks about big and small matters at home, Father Li will more or less listen to her opinion. It’s also because Mr. Yuan either doesn’t speak, but as long as he does speak, it’s very regulated. Listen!
"Okay! Let's draw lots!" Dad Li immediately made up his mind.

Since I don’t know who to choose, this is the fairest. Whoever gets caught will be the winner. There is no need to say more.

After all, the whole family has to devote all their efforts to provide for it. Of course, fairness must come first to avoid resentment from the daughters-in-law.

Father Li made the decision, and the two quarrelsome people, Huang and Jiang, looked at each other and had no choice but to draw lots to see whose son would be the lucky one!
The second sister-in-law, Mrs. Song, was also a little happy. She would not fight, but what if her son caught her because of luck?
Sister-in-law Wu had a look on her face that said she could do anything, and she was already wishing in her heart that her son could catch others but not others.

Who doesn’t want to study?
Five years ago, the Fan family in Shanghe Village opposite had a scholar, and the Fan family school suddenly became famous.

Last year, Fan Xiucai won the imperial examination in one fell swoop and became a serious official who could supplement his official position. The Fan family school became even more famous.

As a result, there has been a craze for children in eight villages across the country to study.

Even the peasants who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky all day long still have half a hope that their son Jackie Chan will replace his lintel Guangzong Yaozu.

In the past two years, many children have been sent to the Fan Family School in the village. Not to mention other families, let’s just say that Rongsheng, the grandson of the head of the Li family, was sent to the Fan Family School this year. Otherwise, Mr. Li knew that Fan The home school costs five ounces of money a year to repair.

Father Li has been thinking about this for a day or two. After a child was born in the Sun family across the street, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

供！
I gritted my teeth and asked a scholar to come out and take a look!

A gust of draft blew in, which made everyone in the hall perk up. Many men, women, old and young, all stared at the center of the hall.

In the middle, Father Li was holding a straw hat in his hand. There were four paper balls lying inside the straw hat. He just took the straw paper balls and made a mark on one of them with the black ash from the stove hole.

Whoever catches this paper ball will be sent to the village school.

Father Li called his four youngest grandsons to come over and asked them to take one each in order.

There was an atmosphere of tension and anticipation in the main room. Li Rongfeng from the third room was as impatient as his father and moved quickly. He opened the paper ball as soon as he caught it.

But the paper ball was clean and there was nothing!

Li Rongfeng's disappointment was palpable, and Huang's face was obviously ugly.

Then Li Rongzhang, Li Ronghua and Li Rongtan all opened the paper balls and spread them out. The paper ball in the hand of the youngest Li Rongtan was black and dusty.

The results are self-evident.

Seeing that her son had missed the mark, Jiang's face, which had just been snickering in her heart about the failure of her third sister-in-law Huang's hope, immediately stretched out longer than a horse's face, and she really couldn't laugh anymore.

Song also had a little regret, but she quickly put it aside.

Wu was extremely happy in her heart, but she said, "It's all your brothers who asked you to do it, brother Tan, why don't you thank your brothers quickly?"

Six-year-old Li Rongtan is the youngest among his brothers and sisters. He is still at an age where he is very naive and ignorant. How can he study? It never occurred to him.

But when his mother said this, he was stunned, and he turned around to say thank you to his three brothers.

Old Yuan saw the expressions of his daughters-in-law, lowered his head, and continued to rub the corn.

When Father Li saw the result of the lot drawing, he nodded immediately, "Then it's decided. When the village school starts after the autumn harvest, I will send Brother Tan away!"
