Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 82
Although Yao shi was not angry, he didn't dare to challenge Li Zhengyi, because firstly, he had many brothers, and secondly, it was Lizheng, who had a lot of prestige in the village.

By the time the old patriarch's funeral was over, July had almost come to an end, and Luo Baisu was about to leave for the provincial capital to catch up on the exam.

Because the family doesn't have much cash now, and Luo Baisu has always been frugal, he only said that he would walk to the provincial capital a few days in advance.From Jinyong County to the provincial capital, there are official roads, and there are post roads every fifty miles, so we can't worry about the rough and difficult roads.

Luo Tiandu and Fang's have stopped doing business these few days, and are busy packing Luo Baisu's luggage at home.

Although Qiuwei's test is knowledge, appearance, temperament and conversation are also very important. Fang took out two long gowns from the bottom of the box at home, and added needlework to the seams to make the clothes durable; shoes You also need to bring a few more pairs of socks, as shoes are the most expensive thing to go on a long journey.For many days, Fang was even more nervous than Luo Baisu. Sometimes he would already fall asleep, and would wake up in the middle of the night, always getting up to check the luggage again to see if there was anything missing.

When it was time to leave, Luo Tian saw Luo Baisu dressed as a scholar, and sighed in his heart, as expected, Buddha needs gold clothes, and people need clothes.Luo Baisu usually wears a short coat. When he goes to the ground, he rolls up his sleeves and rolls up his trousers. He looks like a real farmer. Now he just changes into a long gown, wears a scarf on his head, and a jade pendant on his waist. In a short time, he transformed from a farmer to a real scholar.

Fang took out the only Qidiao money in the family and gave it to Luo Baisu as money.Because copper coins are heavy, inconvenient to carry, and conspicuous, Fang specially exchanged six taels of silver, leaving only a sling of copper coins for Luo Baisu to spend on the road.Even so, Luo Baisu still secretly left two taels of silver under Fang's pillow, took only five taels of money, and set off on the road with a pack on his back.

The family sent him out of Qiushui Town, and they still stood there watching, until Luo Baisu's figure became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into an invisible dot before turning around.

Luo Tiandu's family was reluctant to let go, watching Luo Baisu enter the provincial government, but Luo Baihan in the Luojia village was losing his temper at his old mother. There was no other reason, and the Yao family hadn't collected enough money for him until now.Seeing that Luo Baisu had already set off, he could only stare blankly at home, feeling so anxious that he would have to blame Yao shi.

Yao Shi was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Fourteen dongs were pawned in front of the head, and ten dongs were paid as a fine, and the remaining four dongs, because old man Luo felt deeply that his family committed a crime that caused the death of the old patriarch, he felt ashamed, and donated two dongs to the clan , to arrange the funeral of the old patriarch.This time, old man Luo's attitude was extremely firm. No matter how noisy Yao was, he would not let go. When the quarrel became serious, old man Luo said with red eyes: "If you are not a cruel woman, why should uncle bear such a big fight?" The sun was running back and forth, if it wasn't for Bai Han and Ning Ning's sake, he would have kicked you out of Luo's house in the clan hall that day, and you still haven't repented!"

Seeing that old man Luo had made up his mind, Yao could only take a step back even though he was extremely unwilling; and the consequence of taking a step back was that Luo Baihan's entanglement would be gone.

Old man Luo didn't care about his family, and Yao shi kept all the family's money. At this time, even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't think of a way out.

Seeing Luo Baihan pacing up and down like a trapped animal at home every day, Yao shi had to beat the wall twice from time to time, his heart ached and anxious.

However, now the family really can't make up the money.

"You are good friends with Mr. Qi's family. Why don't you go to his family to transfer some money, and sell the grain after the autumn harvest and then return it to him." After much deliberation, Mrs. Yao couldn't come up with a good idea, so she had to give it to the Qi family. How can I say that Luo Baihan has been very close to the young master of the Qi family for the past two years, last time on Luo Baihan's birthday, he even came to have a special drink.

When the Qi family was mentioned, Luo Baihan became angry, and shouted at Yao Shi: "The Qi family? What's the use of mentioning the Qi family now? Mr. Qi was offended by your good daughter, and now he doesn't know how to laugh behind his back I, you can figure out how to ask him to borrow money!"

Previously, Luo Baihan deliberately made friends with Mr. Qi, it might not have been without this meaning, but his painstaking efforts turned into a waste of water under Luo Baining's self-indulgent sentimental actions.Because of this reason, Luo Baihan is now angry when he sees Luo Baining. If it weren't for the fact that she was raised by the same mother as himself, he would have the heart to strangle that girl to death.

The family was frowning and had no choice.

In the end, Mrs. Yao became ruthless, and discussed with old man Luo: "How about selling two acres of land." The family really didn't have anything to sell, and there was only a dozen acres of land to make some money.

"The whole family counts on these ten acres of land to live on. In the future, when Bai Han marries a wife and Ning Ning gets married, they all depend on the profits from the farm. Now that they are sold, what will they do in the future?" Old man Luo was silent for a long time, shaking his head in objection.

He was born as a farmer, and he has worked with soil all his life. He knows how important the land is to the farmer, and he can't sell the land unless it is absolutely necessary.These ten acres of land are now the only reliance of the Luo family. If it is sold at this time, what will the family eat and drink in the future?
Yao Shi also knows the importance of the land, but Luo Baihan's future is equally important. She has spent countless efforts in order to let Luo Baihan study and have a good future in the future, and her family has almost been defeated. This is even more impossible at this time Stop halfway, so the previous expenses are really in vain.Of course, Yao shi can't give up halfway like this. There is only one way in front of her, and that is to go on steadfastly. As long as Luo Baihan can even come back from the exam, all the sacrifices will be worth it.

However, no matter what this time, old man Luo did not agree to sell the land.Luo Baihan didn't bother to rush for the exam, of course he was also anxious, but he thought more realistically.These days, fame is not so easy to test. The old patriarch spent his whole life in the test, but he didn't even get a scholar. Although Luo Baihan won a scholar, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.The family is already in this situation. If Luo Baihan is promising in the future and can get a degree in the examination, that would be great. He doesn't have to worry about anything, but in case Luo Baihan is like the old patriarch and it is difficult to improve his knowledge, he has to think more .He knows that his youngest son is not productive, has never done farm work, looks like that, even if he doesn't go to school, he doesn't look like a person who can farm the land and support his family. If he is left alone now Temperament, ruined the only few acres of land in the family, and in the future, he will learn from that Han Shusheng, and the whole family will go to drink the northwest wind.

In his mind, the most important thing for the family is to have enough food and clothing, and everything must be based on this foundation.

"You don't want to do this, and you don't want to do that. What are you going to do? If you can come up with the money, why would I want to take advantage of these few acres of land? Do you have to just watch Bai Han die because he didn't make money? Do you feel at ease after ruining your future?" Yao Shi is really anxious this time, if Luo Baihan has no future, she will have no hope in this life, not only that, Luo Baiqiu will also be trampled under the feet of that old widow for the rest of her life She couldn't accept such a result anyway.

Old man Luo was made unsafe by Yao's noise, so he bowed and went out.His original intention was to borrow some money from well-to-do families in the village. However, the families in the village, like him, depended on a few acres of crops in the field for a living. Also keep it for your family members in case they have a headache and brain fever to see a doctor.

Therefore, old man Luo rarely gave up his face to borrow money. After walking around the village, he only managed to collect more than 400 cash, which was just a drop in the bucket for Luo Baihan.

The Yao family then complained to him again: "You know that Bai Han wants money, but at that time, the old patriarch, you still gave me two slings of money. You really don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt."

Old man Luo was unhappy, Luo Tian knew about borrowing money in the village, but even if she wanted to help, she couldn't help at this time.She is not a stingy person, if she has money, for old man Luo's sake, she doesn't mind helping Luo Baihan at this time.Fang's family only has two taels of money in hand now, and it was saved by Luo Baisu abruptly from the money he had prepared for him. Their family needs to buy rations, and seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, they are too busy to hire people and build grain. Cang, she herself thinks that the money is not enough, so she will never lend it to others.

Her kindness and generosity are based on her family's surplus. If her family can't even afford to eat, but she wants to help others and make a good name, she will never do such a stupid thing of.

What's more, she also felt that this was Yao's own fault. If she hadn't caused trouble in the Yamen, no matter what, Luo Baisu and Luo Baihan's entanglements could have worked together.

Having said that, Luo Tian still asked Mrs. Fang to send the over 600 Wen that he earned from buying snacks to old man Luo.

The money was given to old man Luo directly, and she showed her attitude. She only gave this money for the sake of old man Luo, and it had nothing to do with Yao shi and Luo Baihan.

Old man Luo wanted to decline, but thinking of the increasingly irritable Luo Baihan in the Westinghouse, he finally accepted it.

Luo Baihan was also his son, so he also wanted to help at critical times.

In the end, it was the Yao family who sold the two mu of fertile land in the main house, pooled up [-] taels of money, and sent Luo Baihan to the provincial government to rush for the exam.

When Luo Tian heard the news, he curled his lips, thinking that the Yao family was in charge of the family, so it's no wonder that the Luo family would fail like this.The Luo family is not a big family. Luo Baihan went to the provincial capital to catch up with the exam. He could have walked there a few days earlier, on two legs, and saved a lot of money just like Luo Baisu did.But Yao shi and Luo Baihan thought that for a talented gentleman to take the exam like an ordinary person, relying on two legs, it is too low of status, and he has to rent a carriage to take Luo Baihan there to look honorable, wasting a lot of money in vain.

In her eyes, no matter how much money they have, they can live a life of their own. Those who swell their faces like Yao Shi and Luo Baihan to pretend to be fat can only suffer for themselves in the end.
