Yoshida Mii

Chapter 111 rest assured
"Mother, don't worry, my grandma can't take my second uncle and third uncle to snatch it like a robber." Dongbao took the sprouts in the basket to the well to rinse, and the tender bean sprouts were crispy, and they were gently folded It was broken, and after a while to dry and weigh, you will know how much a catty of bean sprouts costs.

Mrs. Li sighed. When she was harvesting the wheat two days ago, Mrs. Huang's scolding of Aunt Song always carried her along, saying how wonderful she was. After hearing this, she was not at all happy. Already had her eye on her.

"Don't talk about helping our orphans and widowed mothers." Li said in a low voice, "Don't make us feel uncomfortable, we will burn incense. The foreign debts owed by our family have not been repaid yet!"

Dong Bao snorted, "They were not in a hurry, they packed us and the foreign debts and threw them out. They might be so happy at that time!" It's a pity that they didn't expect the two of them to make money, and it was too late to be jealous.

"By the way, when the wheat is harvested, let's go to the village head and let Uncle Lin and the village head testify that we will pay off the debt. If my grandma comes to ask for money, we will say that the money has been paid off. Now I don't have any money. Money." Dong Bao said, after paying off the debt, she still has thousands of dollars in her hand, but she is not willing to spend the money on Song Bai's studies.

How hard it is to earn money, Li Shi and Li Hongqin wake up in the middle of the night every day, grind tofu, cook soy milk and press tofu, which is not hard work?Even with Song Bai's eyes on the top of his head, we can't waste our hard-earned money on him.

Even if you invest, you must also invest in potential stocks.

"Hey, good." Li said with a smile, this is also a way, they have done a lot of favors to the village head these days, and often send tofu over there, the village head is not a greedy person, but who cares about such small benefits The head is at ease, thinking that if there is a conflict with the Song family in the future, at least the village head will stand by their side.

"The bean...sprouts you prepared, are you ready?" Li Shi asked.

Dong Bao nodded, spread the bean sprouts in a bamboo basket, let them dry for a while, dumped the water, and weighed them with a scale. It weighed about five catties and four liang, and the water basically did not account for the cost. You can earn more than two papers.It's not as good as selling tofu to make money, but growing bean sprouts is an easy job, much faster than making tofu loose.

At noon, Mrs. Li delivered fried bean sprouts to the dishes delivered to the Lin family.

Qiuxia looked at the bean sprouts and felt a sudden shock in her heart. Are these sprouted beans still edible?I have to run my stomach.

"Dongbao and I fried it in the morning. It's okay. It's crunchy and tasty. You'll know after a taste." Li explained with a smile.

Quanzi didn't care about that much. In his mind, all Dongbao's products must be high-quality goods. First, he picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. The bean sprouts creaked in his mouth, and he exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

The whole family tasted the bean sprouts, and they all thought it was good. Old man Lin laughed and said, "This bean sprouts are not bad. They are crispy and chewy! I have bad teeth, and I find it hard to eat cucumbers. I'll be fine with this!"

Seeing that everyone recognized the bean sprouts, Mrs. Li was very happy. "Dongbao discussed with me that a catty of bean sprouts sells for a penny. What do you think? The taste is not bad, but there are not as many ways as tofu."

Lin Fu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dong Bao's idea, when can't it be passed? It's a good thing, and people have to know it's a good thing." The sprouted beans can still be eaten!

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Dongbao has thought about it. After two days, when we open the stall, we will bring a pot of fried bean sprouts with us. When we buy bean curd, we will send a spoonful of fried bean sprouts for them to taste. We will become famous. Bean sprouts are easy to sell."

"This girl is smart!" Old man Lin praised, "Miss Xiucai, you are as many sons as a girl!"

Nothing makes Mrs. Li happier than hearing others praise her child. Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, "She just knows how to think about it, so don't keep praising her!" There are tofu and bean sprouts, and Mrs. Li just think My whole body is full of strength, and the days to come will be better.

Lin Shi was also smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.Dong Bao is getting smarter and more capable, like a butterfly out of a cocoon, slowly showing people her intelligence and brilliance, now she is only ten years old, wait for two years... At that time, he was just an ordinary Peasant, can he still be worthy of her?
After Mrs. Li left, Lin Shi hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything, and went off to threshing wheat with a sullen head.

When they got home at night, all the family members had gone to bed. Lin Fu dragged Lin Shi into the yard to talk, "What's wrong with you today? What's on your mind?"

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the bright moonlight illuminated the yard, and the weaver girl in the corner kept screaming, echoing the sound of frogs in the distant pond and river.

"It's nothing." Lin Shi smiled, looked at his father's sun-tanned face, and swallowed the words again, "Maybe I'm tired from work."

Lin Fu looked at his son with his hands behind his back and smiled, embarrassed Lin Shi, turned his head away and said, "I really have nothing to do, Dad, go to sleep, you have to clean up the ground tomorrow!"

"Let's talk, what can't my son say to me?" Lin Fu laughed, and touched his son's head, deeply moved, time is not forgiving, and his son's height will soon surpass him.Seeing that his son was still silent, Lin Fu approached him and asked in a low voice, "Do you want a wife?"

Lin Shixuan's face was flushed, subconsciously he thought of Dong Bao's fair and clean face, and he stuttered, "Father, what are you talking about!"

Lin Fu chuckled, "Your mother and I were thinking about harvesting the autumn and going to propose marriage. Seeing you like this, you can't wait that long."

Lin Shi smiled, and his face gradually returned to calm. He shook his head and said softly, "The business is getting better and better...you might not like me!"

Lin Fu patted his son on the back. His son was calm on the surface, but his thoughts were clear, "As long as you want, Dad has the cheek to ask. She is a talented girl, even if she doesn't do business, We can be regarded as high climbers. Based on the friendship between our two families, your scholar lady is eight out of ten and nine out of ten are willing."

"That won't work either." Lin Shi shook his head and said, their family has a kindness towards Li's mother and daughter, but Lin Shi didn't want to ask her to marry his daughter because of kindness, he just wanted Dong Bao to marry him willingly.

"It doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want?" Lin Fu asked with a smile, he had already seen that his son had something to say.

Lin Shi also laughed, "Then I'll mention it to Dad with the cheek. If Dad doesn't want to, just pretend I didn't mention it."

Under the moonlight, Lin Shi looked at his father, summoned up his courage and said, "Father, I think, I want to go back to school." He didn't dare to boast that he could get a Jinshi or something. He worked hard for a few years to get a scholar It's still possible, and Pei Dongbao didn't wrong her. Fortunately, Dongbao is four years behind him, so he can afford to wait.

It's just that it's not easy to support a scholar. Lin Shi has always been sensible, and he doesn't want to embarrass his parents in this matter. Besides, he is not the only child in the family, but also his whole son.Seeing that the Song family made such a fuss over Song Laosan's study, he instinctively suppressed the idea of ​​studying to the bottom of his heart, not daring to show it at all, for fear that the harmonious family would become restless because he wanted to study.

Lin Fu didn't expect that Lin Shi wanted to study, and he was a little dazed for a while, standing there without moving for a long time, Lin Shi gave a wry smile in his heart, and said softly: "Father, forget it, pretend I didn't say it, I'm not young anymore , it’s not appropriate to go back to study, go back to sleep.”

"Read! Why don't you read?" Lin Fu suddenly said loudly, stomped his feet and said, "When the wheat is harvested, Dad will take you to the town, and we will also go to Wenfeng Academy! Their old Song family can produce a scholar Why can’t our old Lin’s family do it? When I brought you back from the private school, the master couldn’t bear it, and kept telling me that you were smart, and it’s a pity that you don’t study. Reading must have some good fortune! Hey, I still regret it in my heart Go!"

Seeing his father agreeing, Lin Shi felt relieved, as if a stone had fallen to the ground, but he felt a little guilty. There was still Quan Zi at home, and as the eldest brother, he went to study, and Quan Zi might not have the opportunity to study. , and the burden on the parents at home is heavy.

"Father, why don't you discuss it with your mother and grandpa." Lin Shi said softly, "I have to ask what Quanzi means. I am the eldest brother..."

Lin Fu smiled and patted Lin Shi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, your mother is definitely willing to, she won't say anything, she might be jealous that Dong Bao's father is a scholar! Quan Zi..." Speaking of this, Lin Fu hesitated for a moment, the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and his youngest son was also the tip of his heart, and then said: "Aren't you teaching him and Dongbao to read characters now, and it will be the same in the future. What did you learn from the academy? I will teach it to your younger brother when you come back, if Quan Zi is also a material for studying, Dad will pay for both of you to study!"

"That won't work. If that's the case, let Quanzi go to school." Lin Shi looked at Lin Fu seriously and said, the Song family paid too much for a scholar, and he didn't want his family to be harmonious. Follow the Song family's old path.

Lin Fu saw through his son's thoughts, stood in the yard and pointed in the direction of the Song family, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we are not like them, why can't we go to their step."

His son is a hundred times better than that selfish and arrogant Song Laosan!
Lin Shi's nose was a little sore, he nodded heavily, and said softly: "Father, I will go to study for three years. If I can't pass the exam in three years, I will stop studying. I will be a farmer with peace of mind."

He promised himself three years. If he didn't have the life to study, he couldn't force it. He was the eldest son and grandson, and he had the responsibility of the family on his shoulders. He couldn't care about himself like Song Laosan.

If at that time he had achieved nothing and was not worthy of Dong Bao, he would have no regrets, at least he had worked hard for her.
