Lucky husband

Li Dawa is not far from Wu Xiaowu's house, but Mrs. Hua saw her rooster's tail feathers in Wu Xiaowu's hands. She caught Wu Xiaowu and went to Wu's house first: "Women in the family, don't have a son if you can't manage it well. It disturbs my house." If you don't give me an explanation today, don't let me, Mrs. Hua, let you go!"

The Wu family saw the wound on their sweetheart's face and could not care less, so they squeezed over and snatched Wu Xiaowu back, hugging their son and crying.

During the pushing and shoving, Mrs. Hua must have been pushed a bit. She immediately lay down, covered her arms and kept shouting, "God damn the Wu family, beat someone! Bully the old woman, shameless family!" , come and take a look..."

The entrance of Wu's house was extremely lively, and the door of Li's house next to it was closed tightly. After hearing that their eldest child was also there, they became nervous, and opened the door to see if their baby Pimple was okay.

The women of the Wu family and the Li family could not say anything about Mrs. Hua and her daughters-in-law, not to mention Mrs. Hua was still lying on the ground. If they insisted that someone from the Wu family beat her, the Wu family not only had to compensate her For the lost eggs, they have to give her money to see a doctor.

After making a lot of noise, Village Chief Bai finally provoked him: "What are you doing, what are you all doing here in the cold weather!"

With Village Chief Bai around, Mrs. Hua stopped lying on the ground. She stood up and pinched the tail feathers of her big cock and squeezed in front of the village chief, crying about how miserable her cock was. Tried to steal her hen's eggs, but was discovered by her big rooster. Wu Xiaowu, an ignorant kid, plucked her big cock's tail feathers.

Where did Mrs. Hua think that her big cock was lured out by Li Mingjin? At that time, when she saw two half-sized men surrounded by her chickens, she thought that they were stealing eggs, because they didn't have the guts to steal eggs. chicken.

At this time, Wu Xiaowu and Li Dawa still had a few chicken feathers stuck to their heads and clothes, and there were wounds pecked by a big rooster on their faces. It must be said that Mrs. Hua's words had some credibility.

Upon hearing the words, Village Chief Bai looked at the Li family and the Wu family seriously: "The two boys are no longer three-year-old ignorant children. Your two families must discipline them well, and don't let the children grow up like Sun Wangcai."

Sun Wangcai is the most famous scumbag in Shanghe Village. He spends his days idle and not doing business. Now he is 22, and he will be 23 after the Chinese New Year. Mrs. Sun still has not been able to marry him a wife. Together, don't know what to do all day long.

Where is the Wu family willing to admit it? In their eyes, their Xiaowu is good at everything: "My family has too many chickens. My family Xiaowu eats eggs every day. He will go to your house to get the eggs. You Is it possible that the eggs at home are laid by roosters and taste more delicious?"

The people in the Li family didn't recognize it either. Dawa Li was close to everything good in their family. He also had eggs to eat every day, and he still had meat every now and then, so how could he take other people's eggs.

Li Dawa and Wu Xiaowu wanted to speak out about Li Mingjin, but both of them had an intuition that it would be more difficult to talk about Li Mingjin, so they both chose to keep their mouths shut.

The father said that the father was right and the wife said that the mother was right, so Village Chief Bai finally told the two families to stop talking.

Both Wu Xiaowu and Li Dawa are half-children. This time, no matter why they plucked the hair of Mrs. Hua's cock, they should apologize to Mrs. Hua. From now on, they will be strictly disciplined in their family, and they can no longer be left alone. They ran to the village to play with chickens and dogs, and learned to do some serious business.

As for Mrs. Hua's family, the rooster lost a feather, and the hen was frightened and couldn't lay eggs, so I couldn't prove it. If I got an apology, I would go back. Don't stay here in winter.

Mrs. Hua is dissatisfied. Her hens will definitely lay fewer eggs today. An apology is not enough.

The Wu family and the Li family were not happy either. They just pulled out a chicken feather. Why did they ask their children to apologize? I didn’t see that their children were pecked by chickens on their faces. What if scars are left, Hua Po The son has to pay for the medicine.

Village head Bai was so angry with these two families that he said that since what he said didn't work, then don't call him in the future, just throw up his sleeves and leave.

It's strange to say that Mrs. Hua, the Wu family, and the Li family, who were unwilling to give in just now, started to feel guilty at the same time after Village Chief Bai left. Are they mad at the village chief?

After looking at each other a few times, the three families broke up after a few curses.

Li Mingjin took Li Qiusheng to the side of the big rock, and as he walked, Li Mingjin said that when he met these two annoying guys in the future, he would deal with them like this, so that Li Qiusheng didn't have to be afraid of them.

At this moment in Li's house, Jiang Zhiyun was basking in the sun in the yard with her stomach on her stomach, walking slowly from time to time. Mr. Xing said that she would give birth in a few days, and she didn't dare to leave Li's house. Walk around the courtyard of Li's house.

This is the second child that Jiang Zhiyun and Li Chengshi finally got. The family members are very careful and try to keep their voices as low as possible.

Mrs. Li didn't leave Li's house easily because of other things. Except for cooking, the big pot in the kitchen was filled with water at other times. Adding two sticks of firewood can boil the water for use.

Li Mingyue was repeatedly ordered by Mrs. Li and Bai Xiuhe to tell her not to run amok in the yard, and to walk slowly no matter how anxious she was.

At this moment, Bai Xiuhe came back from cutting a basket of pigweed outside the door. Seeing Jiang Zhiyun in the yard, she walked along the edge of the yard, not approaching Jiang Zhiyun.

Bai Xiuhe who entered the door was silent this time, she frowned tightly, and she didn't say hello to Jiang Zhiyun, which made Jiang Zhiyun feel strange and took another look.

Bai Xiuhe, who was different from usual, caught Jiang Zhiyun's attention, and she asked, "Sister-in-law, what's bothering you, did you meet anyone outside?"

After the separation, there was no money in the yard. Xinghua was bluffing or poking around. Jiang Zhiyun liked to go out and sit in the yard more than before. In addition, she had dinner with the big family every day in the past few months. The relationship between Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Xiuhe was closer than before. After a while, she asked so much.

Bai Xiuhe looked up at Jiang Zhiyun, her frown suddenly relaxed a lot: "Third brother and sister, wait a minute, I'll go and release the pigweed and talk to you slowly."

Bai Xiuhe hurriedly walked towards the backyard with a basket on her back. Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyun supported her stomach and responded, waiting for Bai Xiuhe to come over in the yard.There are many livestock in the backyard, and Jiang Zhiyun has hardly been to the backyard since she became pregnant.

After waiting for a while, Bai Xiuhe came over. She moved closer to Jiang Zhiyun and asked in a low voice, "Third siblings, do you know how much it would cost if both brothers Mingde and Mingli had to take the imperial examination?"

When I went out to cut pigweed today, Bai Xiuhe met some older aunts in the same village. They asked her a lot, saying that her family, Mingde and Mingli, are coming back from the school holiday soon, and will she plan to do it next year? Send Mingde and Mingli to take the imperial examination.

Since I sent my child to a school in the county seat, I was of course planning to send my child to take the imperial examination. As long as I can read, the old children in the next village can teach them, and I don’t need to pay a lot of money to study, and I don’t have to worry about food, clothing and housing.

Bai Xiuhe is a straight person, Mrs. Li has been concerned about Jiang Zhiyun's belly these days, and she didn't think about telling Bai Xiuhe, she told the truth when asked.

The aunts were very surprised. They thought that although they sent two children to the county school, the Li family would only provide one gifted child to take the imperial examination in the end.

Knowing the plan of the Li family, they discussed together the fees needed for studying and taking the imperial examination.

The first is Shuxiu of the school, which is a fixed two taels of silver a year, and then there is the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the children in the school in the county seat.

After they said a few words by themselves, they asked about Bai Xiuhe's pen, ink, paper and inkstone and other expenses.

Bai Xiuhe did the math, she originally had five taels of silver in her hand, but a year later, the five taels of silver in her hand were all spent and there was nothing left.

The pen and inkstone were bought when I first sent them to school. The two brothers spent a tael of silver together. After using it for a year, the brushes were worn out, but the inkstone was still in good condition.

What really costs money is paper and ink. The two brothers of the Li family try to use the cheapest ones and save them. After a year, they spent a little more than four taels of silver. Empty.

Bai Xiuhe talked about the expenses of the two sons for this year, and successfully surprised the aunts who cut pigweed with her. The expenses of the Li brothers must be too little.

Why do other scholars spend money?Because no matter whether their family can afford money or not, they have to regard themselves as scholars in the county!

There are only two long gowns for clothes, at least spring, autumn and winter. They also need good materials and different styles. They don't like the ones made by themselves at home.

On weekdays, as long as the classmates send out invitations, no matter it is a poetry meeting, a tea party, a reception or a dinner party, they have to attend, and the cost of coming and going will naturally increase. Ten taels a year is considered a frugal scholar.

After being amazed, everyone chattered that they didn't know how they learned about it, and where money was needed for the imperial examination.

To take an exam, you can’t save money for registration, and you need money to find a guarantor. To take the exam, you have to go to the county town one day in advance, you need money to stay in a hotel, and you need money to eat. ...

After hearing about the cost of taking an exam, Bai Xiuhe finally stopped being calm, and she realized that the imperial examination cost so much money, she frowned and became worried: "Third siblings, do you think the money I sell pigs this year will be able to improve my morals?" The two children of Mingli and Mingli continue to study in the county and take the imperial examination?"

After listening to Bai Xiuhe, Jiang Zhiyun smiled and explained carefully: "Sister-in-law, taking the imperial examination is not what you said. Now that Mingde and Mingli are both white, you have to take the children's exam hosted by the county magistrate first, and pass the boy's exam. Only after that can you take the imperial examination as everyone calls it.”

"The cost of the children's examination is not high, because the children's examination only takes one day, the registration fee is three taels of silver, and the insurance fee is three taels of silver. My natal elder brother said before that he can help Mingde and Mingli for free once. This can save six taels of silver. Our village is not far from the county seat, so we don’t need to book an inn one day in advance, and we don’t need to spend money to bring food from home, so you plan to send Mingde and Mingli to participate in the spring plowing this year. For Tong Shengjian, it is enough to prepare six taels of silver, if you are really worried, just add half a tael, it should not be too much."

Jiang Zhiyun calculated the cost of Li Mingde and Li Mingli brothers' childbirth examination, six taels of silver.

If Dafang did not exchange paddy fields with Sanfang when the family was separated, that would be no problem, but Dafang and the others lost their ten taels of silver, so where would they get six taels of silver?

What's more, Jiang Zhiyun said that this is just a child's exam, and there will be county exams, government exams, hospital exams, etc. after that, Bai Xiuhe is more worried than before.
