Heroine: The beginning starts with gambling on the wife with two hundred kilograms of rubbish

Qiao Xin wiped her hands and said to the children: "Don't be rude, call me aunt."

"Auntie is fine."

The three children are very obedient and have nice voices. The oldest is six years old and is a boy. The two youngest are four years old and are both girls.

Song Tingran specially brought candy cubes, which came in handy at this time, opening the beautiful cloth bag.

"Here, everyone grab a handful."

The three children were obviously moved. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at their mother.

Qiao Xin nodded.

One of the female dolls walked over first and poked her head to take a look.

"Wow."

He took one, bowed to Song Tingran, and said, "Thank you very much, aunt."

"Your name is Qiao Manman? What a nice name."

Qiao Manman was born to Qiao Xin's second husband. He was very happy to be praised and expressed his gratitude. Then he turned around and pointed at the boy doll and said: "This is brother Qiao Fu, and this is Qiao Suisui, the little sister."

Qiao Suisui stared at the candy in Qiao Manman's hand and swallowed. Song Tingran waved, and she and Qiao Fu walked over, each taking only one candy.

Song Tingran reached out and grabbed the bag, stuffed it into Qiao Fu's arms, and gave a handful to each of the remaining two children.

Qiao Xin quickly stopped and said that the children couldn't finish the candy, so just give them a piece to taste.

The three children were also very sensible and quickly returned the candy bars they loved in their arms.

"Take it, my aunt gave it to me. If you don't accept it, my aunt will be unhappy."

Qiao Jinshu took the cloth bag from Song Tingran's hand, then gave it to Qiao Fu, saying: "If you can't take it, put it in a bag. When I come back next time, I will bring you delicious food."

Mother-in-law Qiao pointed at Qiao Jinshu from a distance and muttered: "This child..."

Qiao Xin's doctor came into the room and said that dinner was ready. Only then did Song Tingran realize that he seemed to be pregnant, with a slight bulge in his abdomen.

The dining table was a little crowded, and the children spontaneously ate at another small table, accompanied by Qiao Xin's third husband.

During the chat, Song Tingran learned that there is no book school in Shiqing Village. If you want to study, you have to go to Pingan Town. There is a small book school nearby. The price is twenty taels of silver a year, which is more than the price in the town. The big book school is cheap.

Therefore, the three children in the family always get up early and come home late, taking the oxcart back and forth in Shiqing Village, taking whichever trip they catch.

"Two taels of silver a year, three children would cost six taels a year. Including travel expenses, if you don't bring food at noon, eating there will be a big expense."

Song Tingran's words were pertinent, Qiao Xin looked at her sheepishly, and after thinking for a long time, she decided to speak out.

"It is said that my three children can go to school this year, thanks to you. The gift money you gave to Jinshu previously provided a lot of subsidies. Otherwise, they would either not go to school or live in poverty."

Qiao Xin is really sincere. In fact, this kind of thing is an unwritten rule. The gift money received by the men in the family will be used for the marriage of the women in the family, or to improve their lives. This is the case in every household. It is logical.

"Sister, you're welcome. I also want to thank you. It's really not easy to raise Jin Shu to such an old age."

Qiao Jinshu smiled, picked up a roasted potato, and put it in Song Tingran's bowl.

"My husband, Shi Yan, opened a book school in Daniu Village. The tuition is very cheap, only taels of silver a year and a half. I don't mean anything by this. It's just that you can't just study for one year. Next year, it will be a big sum of money. How can I afford the expenses of six taels of silver?"

Song Tingran looked at Qiao Xin's husband. His meaning was very clear. There was another child in his belly, which was another expense.

Qiao Xin heard her mother talk about this, but she didn't know the details. This half a tael of silver a year is really cheap, but the distance is not convenient. When you get to Ping'an Town, you have to transfer an ox cart to Daniu Village. Going back and forth, I couldn't catch up with the morning classes at the book school.

"I understand your good intentions. It's just an ordinary family like ours. We just want our children to be literate. The girls should study for two more years. What they learn can be taught to those who don't want to read at home."

"Yes, yes, this can save a lot of money."

Qiao Jinshu agreed very much. His family couldn't afford it back then. He didn't go to a private school for a long time, and his sister came back to teach him. However, he was considered a person who had read a book, and he was very proud every time he mentioned it.

Song Tingran said nothing more. Mother-in-law Qiao said a few other words and then changed the topic. The family had a delicious meal.

After dinner, it was already dark. After Qiao Jinshu took Song Tingran to wash up, he went back to the room, very anxious.

Qiao's mother-in-law watched the candles in Song Tingran's house go out, and said to Qiao Xin very happily: "I'm satisfied with you. Plus the one in your eldest husband's belly, there are four children in total, four happy children. Over there with the second child I also gave birth to two, and now I am reading Jinshu. He has six brothers above him. If he has no children, he will have to share this favor sooner or later."

"Mom, don't worry. I see that Song Tingran likes our Jinshu very much. In these ten miles and eight villages, do you think whose wife will accompany her husband back to her parents' home? There are so many things. Money.”

"What you said makes sense. If you find a chance tomorrow, you can talk to Jinshu and ask him to hurry up and have a child."

On the other side, Song Tingran and Qiao Jinshu were covered with quilts. He was holding a wooden box from his childhood, which contained all the good things he had collected.

"Master Wife, what do you think this is?"

"You can't touch it, but it smells like a pine cone."

"You guessed it, this is what I picked up in the field while secretly following my sister when I was little. It's such a tall pine tree... It's hard to pick one..."

"This is the first calligraphy I wrote when I was a child. My mother left it for me, but it's very ugly."

.......

The two chatted together for half the night, and Qiao Jinshu finally decided to take these memories with him when he returned to Daniu Village. He had always run away before, and it was really inconvenient on the road.

Early the next morning, the entire Qiao family was quiet, and they were very careful in everything they did, for fear that Song Tingran might not have a good rest.

The two of them did go to bed late last night, so when they got up, the children had already eaten breakfast and set off to the school, while they just got up.

"Qiao Jinshu, I can't talk to you so late tonight. It will have a bad influence."

"What's wrong, just eat right after you get up. How nice."

Mother-in-law Qiao and the others did not eat in advance, but kept waiting. This made Song Tingran feel embarrassed, but she did not explain it. After all, this explanation was very weak.

After breakfast, Qiao's mother-in-law said that Shiqing Village was not big, but the scenery was nice, so she asked Qiao Jinshu to take her around.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the third aunt from yesterday coming with her big teeth bared and a matchmaker accompanying her.
