Chapter 25 Full of Luck
Out of the drug store,
It was a little unreal when Wang Zhuangzhi held the money bag. Just half a bag of wood roots was exchanged for more than four taels of silver, which was almost as much as his hunting harvest for a year.
Liu Zhihua's face was filled with joy, she raised her hand to take the heavy money bag, kissed the baby in her arms twice, and said excitedly: "The eminent monk was right what he said at the beginning. After this disaster, we will be full of blessings. My baby will be blessed."
It’s full, and the whole family can be blessed.”
Jiaojiao's little face was deformed when she was kissed. Her parents were so happy that she also smiled and said softly, "Jiaojiao can find herbs, and my brothers and sisters can dig them. Mom and dad won't have to work too hard in the future."
When Liu Zhihua Wang Zhuangzhi heard this, his eyes were so moved that his eyes became wet, and he lamented that Jiaojiao has grown up.
Liu Zhihua smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at the manager and said, "It's already lunch time. Qiu Sheng should have finished his work. You go to the intersection ahead to greet you. Our mother-in-law is waiting here."
Wang Zhuangzhi was very happy today and said with a smile: "I'll go right away." After saying that, he also told: "Erya, please take your brother and follow your mother closely, don't dare to run around."
"I know, Dad." Erya pulled her little brother and nodded in agreement.
Wang Zhuangzhi left, and Liu Zhihua squatted aside with Jiaojiao in her arms, pulled Xiao Li Erya over and said, "You are all the heroes of the family today. Mom will take you to eat meat wontons and big meat buns later."
”
"Oh oh oh ~ Let's eat big meat buns!" Xiao Li waved his hands happily and circled.
Jiaojiao had never eaten meat buns and wontons before, so she didn’t know what they were. Her big black eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity, and she nodded softly and said: "Okay~"
Erya curled her lips, saying that the bun seller looked down on others, so now she was not so excited about the big meat buns.
She looked at the crowds of people coming and going on the lively street. There were many women leading children. The girls wore beautiful headbands and beautiful skirts...
She looked down at her old linen shirt, patted the dust on it, tugged on the corner of her mother's clothes and said tentatively: "Mom, I don't eat big meat buns, I want to buy new clothes."
When Liu Zhihua heard this, she frowned and touched Erya's braid, and sighed: "Buying a new set of ready-made clothes in this town costs one or two silver at least. Your eldest brother still has to go to school, and my mother wants to send you to the town next year."
You need to learn some crafts, so we won’t buy any today. Mom will go home and weave some cloth for you, and she will buy it for you during the Chinese New Year.”
When Erya heard this, her dark face was not unhappy. She nodded sensibly and said, "Yeah, listen to me." Although she felt a little disappointed in her heart, she also knew the current conditions of the family. The eldest brother wanted to go to school and had a lot of money to spend.
Jiaojiao hugged her mother's neck and acted coquettishly, shouting "Mom~"
Seeing this, Liu Zhihua shook her head and smiled, and said helplessly: "Bao Bao, do you want me to buy new clothes for my sister? But your eldest brother should pay the tuition. While I'm in town this time, my mother will pay your eldest brother's tuition fee first, and wait until next time.
Let’s buy some herbs and then buy them, okay?”
Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment. Her eldest brother's studies were indeed more important at the moment. She pouted and nodded and said, "I'll definitely buy it for my sister when I get back next time."
Liu Zhihua was amused by her daughter's serious tone. She hugged Bian Dian and said, "My sweet baby knows how to love my sister. Mom agreed. I will definitely buy it next time."
Erya was greatly moved after hearing her sister's words. She happily took her little girl's little fleshy hand and said, "When I earn some silver next time, I will first buy beautiful clothes and a colorful headband with bells for my dear baby. When the time comes,
Jiaojiao is the most beautiful girl."
Jiaojiao held her sister's hand, with a clear smile on her white face. She shook her head and said softly: "Jiaojiao doesn't want it, buy it for sister."
"Mother!"
In the distance, Qiu Sheng's delicate face ran over with excitement, followed by Wang Zhuangzhi.
The younger brothers and sisters looked at their elder brother curiously. It was rare to see the eldest brother so happy. They ran up to each other and called "brother."
Liu Zhihua also walked forward quickly with Jiaojiao in her arms, and asked with a smile: "Qiusheng, why are you so happy?"
Qiu Sheng hugged Xiao Li and Er Ya, called "Mother" with a smile on his face, then took out half a piece of broken silver from his pocket and handed it over. He happily explained: "The book I copied at home was written by a young master in the bookstore.
If you like it, you just buy it for me with half a piece of broken silver, and my mother will keep the silver."
"Good boy! What kind of luck did you have today?" Liu Zhihua took the piece of broken silver, which was about two taels, put it to his teeth and bit it, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Wang Zhuangzhi came over and smiled innocently, rubbed his hands and said in a low voice: "Damn it, I'll buy some more things for my family today, and I'll give you a couple of bars by the way."
The past two years have been tight, and he has not had any good wine for a long time. Last month, he greedily begged for a drink with the hunter who was traveling with him. He has always been indebted to this favor, so it is easy to relax. Now what he wants most is to make a tael.
Have a good drink and return the favor.
"Let's go and pay Qiu Sheng's school fees first. If there is more silver left, I will buy it for Erya and you."
After Liu Zhihua finished speaking, she hugged Jiaojiao and walked towards the street. She remembered that the private school seemed not far from here.
"Mom, wait!"
Qiu Sheng anxiously caught up to his mother and stopped him. He looked panicked and explained: "Mother, the private school has not been repaired yet. I will hand it over to my master after school starts."
Liu Zhihua was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and patted her forehead, "Look, mother is so happy that she has forgotten about this."
Jiaojiao watched her eldest brother's eyes dodge. She thought of the conversation she heard between her eldest brother and Wei Qing in the corner. She blinked and asked, "Brother, how much silver does the school fee cost?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhihua also looked at her son and said, "Qiu Sheng, I just heard from the women passing by the roadside that the school fees have increased. Why didn't you tell your mother that the school fees have increased a lot?"
Qiu Sheng's expression paused, his fingers curled up involuntarily, and he hesitated to explain: "I,"
"Mom~ I heard my eldest brother and eldest brother Wei Qing say that the school fees had increased. The eldest brother didn't say anything because he was afraid of worrying about his family." After Jiaojiao finished speaking, she winked at her eldest brother, as if she knew the secret.<
/p>
Qiu Sheng was shocked when he heard this. He recalled his conversation with Wei Qing that day, but how could his little sister hear it? Doesn't that mean he knew that he dropped out of school!
He suddenly broke out in sweat, looked at his little sister and winked, and Jiaojiao replied with a Nuo voice: "Brother, we have made money after selling our medicinal materials."
Before Qiu Sheng realized what he meant, Wang Zhuangzhi came over and said with a worried look: "You kid, you can't complain about copying books for a bookstore. It turns out that the tuition fee has increased. I happened to be in town today, so it's not as good as me and you."
Mom, go find your master and ask."
Liu Zhihua smiled and nodded in agreement: "Your father is right, let's go ask together and buy some cakes for the Master. The Master has also taken great care of our Qiu Sheng this year."
