the next day.

Luo Xin's parents and elder brother went to the east of the village to clean up the house, leaving only Luo Xin in the house.His body hadn't recovered yet, and he was sitting on the bed and lying on the window sill, looking out in a daze.

The uncle and aunt brought Luo Sheng to help with a sullen face. It is winter and there is no work in the fields. As the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the family, it is unreasonable not to help.My aunt also went to help, but my uncle hid in the house and never came out.

At noon, my mother came back in a hurry. While cooking, she looked back at Luo Xin who was lying on the window sill, and said softly:

"Xin'er, you're hungry, you'll be ready in a while."

Luo Xin responded softly, his eyes were still looking out of the window without focus, he was still a little confused in his heart, he didn't know how to go in the future of the Ming Dynasty.He is very clear about the history of Daming. In this era, everything is inferior, and only reading is high. However, this book is not something you can read if you want to. There is still a gap among scholars. If you want to make up for or surpass this gap, you must have a teacher to explain it.But going to school requires money...

With his family's family background...

Now there are only three acres of paddy fields, but there are him and his brother in the family.Half a child eats a poor old man, three acres of paddy fields may not even be enough to eat, how can there be money to study?
Just wandering in the sky in such a daze, I heard my mother's call.

"Xin'er, it's time to eat."

Then I saw my mother put a bowl of porridge and a plate of radish and pickles on the windowsill, and then began to place the bowls and chopsticks in the hall.After a while, the uncle's family, aunt, father, and elder brother opened the courtyard door and walked in, sat down at the table and began to eat.We have already separated, so naturally we can't have dinner on the same table, and everyone has helped us for a long time, so we naturally want to treat guests to dinner.Luo Xin was holding a bowl of porridge by the window sill, when he saw his uncle come out of the house and into Grandpa's room, it must be that the uncle thought that Grandpa's food was better, or he was too embarrassed to come to eat without helping him.

After dinner, everyone went to clean up the house again.While making the medicine for Luo Xin, the mother quickly put away the bowls and chopsticks. After the medicine was finished, she sat on the bed with the medicine and said:
"Xin'er, come here to take your medicine."

Luo Xin turned around and saw that his mother's hair was disheveled, and there was a layer of dust on it, which should have fallen from cleaning up the house. Her face was pale, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.In just a few days, the younger son almost drowned in the river, and the older son almost lost his arm. You can imagine the fright she felt in her heart.

Seeing Luo Xin looking at him silently, reaching out to touch Luo Xin's forehead, a trace of joy finally appeared in Luo Xin's eyes, and his voice trembled excitedly:

"Xin'er's health is finally healed, if you go, how will my mother live?"

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.Seeing her cry, Luo Xin's heart was also sour.I wanted to speak to comfort, but I didn't know what to say.

Luo Shi scooped up a spoonful of decoction, first blew it on his mouth, then touched his lips to test the temperature, and then carefully delivered it to Luo Xin's mouth, Luo Xin opened his mouth and swallowed it. A piece of bitterness.

While feeding Luo Xin, Luo Shi complained in a low voice: "You fell into the river, and your grandparents only came to see you once, and your brother hasn't learned anything secretly, and he will lose his arm. Why is life so hard, married to your father, a useless wretch. In this family, your father does the most work, but is the least careful, dragging down our mother and child and not having a good life, woo woo woo..."

Luo Shi cried again in a low voice, and Luo sighed softly in confidence, and then said in a low voice:
"Mother, this has nothing to do with father."

"Why doesn't it matter?" Luo Shi said angrily: "It's okay to divide the family, but mother can sit on the pot and hold the spoon, and eat whatever she wants. When the time comes, mother will raise a few hens, and our family will eat them every month." Scrambled eggs once."

Luo Xin was ashamed, he had only been in this world for a few days, and never thought that his mother's pursuit was so...great.

Luo Shi didn't pay attention to Luo Xin's expression, and said in an intoxicated manner: "Xin'er, if you can eat scrambled eggs once a month, it's almost the same as the life of the emperor. I guess the emperor eats scrambled eggs every day."

Luo Xin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Is the emperor's food that bad?"

While rambling, Luo Shi finished feeding a bowl of medicine to Luo Xin, told Luo Xin to take a good rest and take care of himself, then left in a hurry to clean up the house.

the next day.

Luo Xin's family moved to a new home.Grandpa and grandma didn't come out at all when they went out, but the uncle and uncle went out to see each other off. It was rare that the uncle also came out of the house, but his face had the arrogance common to scholars of that era.

After entering the new home, Luo Xin looked around. There was a small courtyard, and there was a peach tree in the yard. In the depths of winter, the branches were bare. Opening the door was the kitchen, which was also the dining room. , parents live in the East Wing, and the West Wing is the room of brothers Luo Xin and Luo Qing.

There was no farm work in winter, and Luo Xin was not in good health, so he lay down on the hot kang according to his mother's request. The sound insulation of the room was really bad, and Luo Xin could clearly hear the conversation of his parents in the east wing.

"His father, he spent half a tael of silver on renovating the house and entertaining guests. Now there is only one tael of silver and half a copper coin left in the family. The three acres of paddy fields are not enough for our family. How will our family live in the future?"

Dad's voice was not heard.Then there was the sound of my mother sobbing.

"Daddy is too cruel, didn't he just take a look? He drove us out of the house."

"You can't blame dad for this!" Dad said sullenly.

"Don't blame dad, then blame you."

"What's bothering me?"

"Why don't you get in the way? Eldest brother is the eldest son, and he will inherit the family business in the future. Daddy naturally values ​​him. Uncle is the youngest son, so mother naturally loves him and treats him as her darling. Only if you don't take care of the world and don't go down, half If you can't go up or down, if you don't care about your mother, how can I marry you, the second child!"

Luo Xin wanted to laugh when he heard his mother calling his father the second child.Get up from the kang, lie down on the window sill, open the window and look into the yard, and see the big brother dancing vigorously in the yard with a gun in his hand, Luo Xin shook his head, My big brother is really big-hearted, he completely forgot that his arm was almost crippled the day before yesterday, and he practices guns when he has some free time, he is really a martial idiot.

The cold winter wind blew in through the window, Luo Xin shivered, closed the window, hugged the quilt against the wall, and made a decision in his mind.

"Da Ming is a world of literati, I want to study!"

But... where does the money come from?
