The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 23
After successfully taking the first step, Lu Weiwei was in a great mood, and naturally slept soundly at night.

When Lu Weiwei woke up the next day, Li Chengdong was no longer at home just like yesterday, but Li Chang and Li Yue hadn't gone out yet, and were sitting at the table in the main room having breakfast.

Seeing Lu Weiwei come in, Mrs. Li, who was looking after the two brothers and sisters, smiled and said: "Xiaowei got up, go wash your hands and come have breakfast, your aunt specially asked Wang Ma to buy fried dough sticks for you in the morning , I will see your aunt later, but I have to thank her."

Lu Weiwei smiled and said hello to Li Chang and Li Yue, before washing her hands.

When she came back from washing her hands, Li Chang and Li Yue had finished their breakfast and were going to school, "Auntie, brother Xiaowei, let's go first. We will come back after school in the afternoon. Tomorrow is a holiday. I can play with you for a while." all day."

Lu Weiwei smiled and nodded: "Okay, Cousin Achang, Cousin Ayue, please slow down on the road."

Li Chang and Li Yue then loudly greeted Aunt Li who was dressing Li Sheng upstairs: "Mother, let's go." and went out.

Then Li smiled and asked Lu Weiwei, "Why is Xiaowei so happy today? Is it because he is going to climb the Kuixing Pavilion in the city later? Back it up."

Aunt Li made an agreement with Mrs. Li yesterday that today she will take Lu Weiwei to the landmark building in Tianquan City, which is the "Kuixing Pavilion" as Mrs. Li calls it, and then go to eat at a restaurant that Aunt Li highly recommends. mullet noodles.

As for tomorrow, it is rare that the children are all there. Aunt Li means to take them to a picnic and fly a kite. One is to make Lu Weiwei happy, and the other is that there is a small nunnery next to the place Aunt Li chose. Li thinks Go there and offer incense to Lu Weiwei, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her in the future.

Lu Weiwei laughed and said: "I'm sure I won't let my mother carry it, I can climb up by myself."

After a pause, "Mother, how many fields does our family have, how much grain can be produced every year, and how much can we convert into silver? By the way, we still have to eat and use, and we have to pay taxes, right? After a year, how much will you have left?"

She thought about it before going to bed last night, and she really didn't think of a way to make money for the time being, so she could only ask Mrs. Li how the family's income was, and it would be best to ask how much she had saved now.

No matter how much my uncle loves their mother and daughter, she can't make further progress, and it's up to her brothers to settle accounts. After all, it's not a day or two, and it will definitely be a matter of years and months in the future. That's too bad for my aunt and cousins. Fair enough.

Seeing that Lu Weiwei's mind was no longer on Li Yue's schooling, Mrs. Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that her daughter would suddenly say to her, "Mother, I also want to go to Sister Ayue's school."

What should she do then?
If you agree, you can't do it at all; if you don't agree, you really feel sorry for your daughter.

So even if Lu Weiwei's question was not something she should ask at all, Mrs. Li still answered her patiently with a smile, "Our family has ten acres of land and eight acres of land. Because there are few people, after a year, except for taxes and our food, In addition to paying your grandparents every month...we call them two hundred cash, you can still have five or six taels left in a year. And before your grandfather left, you asked your uncle and aunt to spend every year We have to subsidize our mother and son ten taels of silver, so the mother still has some savings in her hand, and you can't wrong Xiaowei, so don't worry."

While listening, Lu Weiwei calculated silently in her heart. Even if she didn't know the actual price of goods today, she could guess that this amount should not be a small amount for ordinary people.

Not to mention the value of those fields themselves.

It's no wonder that the Cao family, Wang Pandi and others are so jealous of Li's family, and treat their mother and daughter as thorns in their flesh, and it's also no wonder that Li's family wanted to hide it from the world. What is the difference between a defenseless child?
Lu Weiwei said after a while: "Our family still pays them [-] taels of money every month, so why not more than [-] taels of silver in a year?"

It's really too cheap for Lu Youcheng and the Cao family, especially the Cao family!

Li said helplessly: "This is what was agreed when the family was separated. Although it was a bit too much, in order to separate the family smoothly, I persuaded your father to agree. After your father was gone, they wanted to reunite the family again. When I went back, of course I disagreed, so I said I was still willing to call them [-] wen a month, one call for so many years, as long as they live for a day, I am afraid they will be indispensable."

When Lu Weiwei thought of Cao's and Lu Youcheng's faces, she turned cold, but in order to prevent Li Shi from reacting, she still said: "It's okay, mother, let's treat it as a broken..." Wanting to say that breaking the money and avoiding disasters, she temporarily changed her words, "As long as we If you can live a quiet life, just spend some money."

Mrs. Li nodded and said: "That's what I think, and your uncle and aunt persuaded me in the same way. Xiaowei, why are you asking these questions?"

Lu Weiwei thought for a while and smiled: "I just want to know if we will stay in the county and live in the county. If we can't go back to the village, we won't go back and we won't be able to survive. I didn't expect that my uncle and aunt would subsidize us every year. We are too kind, and grandma and grandpa are too kind to us."

It's a pity that good people don't live long, and she didn't even have the chance to see Grandma Li and Grandpa Li.

Mrs. Li sighed after hearing this: "Yes, when your grandparents were alive, they loved you the most, not even your cousin Achang, and your uncle loved me even when he was a child. Even if he got a piece of candy, he would keep it. Eat it for me. The luckiest thing in my life is to have such good parents, brother and sister-in-law. In addition, your father was very kind to me in those years. In those years, I was the happiest person in the world. It's a pity..."

Take a breath, "Stop talking about this. Xiaowei, you want to stay in the county and live in the county, don't you want to go back to our own home? But that is always our home, where our fields and roots are. You are reluctant to part with your uncle Aunts can’t do it, it’s okay, they’re not far away, we’ll just come here often in the future.”

Lu Weiwei didn't speak.

She'd better not talk to her mother about this, let her uncle talk to her later, she is soft-spoken, mother may not listen to her words, but she will definitely listen to what her uncle said.

It happened that Aunt Li brought Li Sheng in, and as soon as she came in, she called out childishly, "Auntie, Brother Xiaowei."

Mrs. Li didn't say any more, and opened her hands with a smile, "Ah Sheng, come here and give me a hug."

After breakfast, Aunt Li told Mama Wang: "We won't come back for lunch, so you can rest after cleaning up. When we come back in the afternoon, it won't be too late to prepare dinner."

The girls and sisters-in-law went out and wandered into the city.
