Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Ruozhu was already laughing so hard that Deng Deng didn't have the habit of touching randomly. Even when feeding, she didn't touch places he shouldn't touch. Bai Ruozhu also deliberately didn't let him touch, for fear that he would develop bad habits. Habit.

Who knows what happened to this child today, but he suddenly reached out to touch Yu Hongxiu. It was okay to forget it. At most, it was an accidental injury. But he also grabbed a last shot, and his intention was too obvious, right?

When Yu Hongxiu saw Bai Ruozhu laughing at her, her face turned even redder. She raised her hand to hit her angrily and said complainingly: "The child is hungry and wants to be fed. How come you don't know how to feed the child well?"

"Obviously I just fed him a while ago. If he is hungry, he will not wrong himself. He will definitely cry and make a fuss." Bai Ruozhu said and laughed again.

Guizhi next to her was a little more restrained. She just pursed her lips and snickered, but she felt happy in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't hug Deng Deng just now, otherwise she would also be eaten!

Yu Hongxiu was about to cry at this moment. She wanted to scold her but was reluctant to do so. This little guy looked at her with an innocent face and his big eyes were so cute that they were almost watering.

Bai Ruozhu suppressed her laughter and hugged Deng Deng, and scolded him in feigned anger, "You little rascal, how can you grab me randomly? Be careful Mr. Xie spanks you!"

Yu Hongxiu angrily went to hit Bai Ruozhu and shouted: "You must have taught Deng Deng bad things!"

…

When the rest of the Bai family returned to the village, they went directly to the old house. Erlang said that they would have to face it sooner or later anyway, so it was better to solve it as soon as possible.

The old man had already heard that Bai Yihong had gone to town to do business. When he saw them all coming, he pointed at Bai Yihong and cursed him before he could explain their purpose.

"Isn't it shameful for you to guard the good land instead of sowing it, and go out to do that despicable business, and you are not afraid of being laughed at?" The old man looked at Bai Zepei again and asked: "Erlang, you are a scholar after all, and you are a merchant. Aren't you afraid of delaying your future if you make a lowly living? Isn't it another bad idea from that bitch Bai Ruozhu? "

The old man actually didn't know that Erfang mostly listened to Bai Ruozhu now, but he knew that Erfang sold food, and Bai Ruozhu was good at cooking, so it must have been her idea.

Lin Ping'er was unhappy when she heard this. She looked at the old man and said, "Dad, you are also a scholar. Isn't it appropriate to scold your granddaughter like this?"

The old man stared and said, "What can a woman say? I don't have a granddaughter like her!"

Bai Zepei gently pulled Lin Ping'er and signaled her not to waste time arguing with the old man. Ruozhu didn't want to have such a grandfather.

Lin Ping'er pursed her lips and stood aside, just glaring at the old man to vent her dissatisfaction.

"Grandpa, what you said is wrong. My husband's family also owns land and shops. Many scholarly families in the capital also have their own properties. It's not that they are merchants. They just manage the general affairs reasonably. Otherwise, how can they support the expenses of the government?" Bai Zepei He said calmly.

Bai Yihong also said: "Yes, dad, I can only make ends meet with the few acres of land I have, but Erlang will have to go to the academy to go to the palace and there will be a lot of expenses. Next year, he will get another sum of money to rush for the provincial examination. Why don't we take advantage of the slack to do something?" How can we make a living? We all rely on hard work to make money, there is nothing to be ashamed of."

Bai Yihong was also a little angry. His father called his daughter "cheap" and said that what their family did was a "cheap business." He didn't understand. His family didn't steal anything, so why did he do it? | Cheap? They give the monthly support money on time, give gifts during every year and festival, and honor the elderly who should be honored. Why are they so unpopular with the old man?

When the old man saw that Bai Yihong dared to talk back, the goatee on his chin trembled with anger, but he quickly suppressed his anger because Bai Yihong's words reminded him.

Erlang needs a lot of money to go to the academy and a sum of money to take the provincial examination. Doesn't Bai Yibo also need it?

"I can understand if you are raising money for Erlang's imperial examination." The old man softened his tone, "Your uncle will also need a lot of money in the future. When Mr. Xie recommends him to go to the best academy in Fucheng, the expenses will definitely be high. not small."

Everyone in the second room looked at each other and guessed the old man's intention.

"Brothers should help each other out. You guys are already strapped for money, so support your eldest brother. In the future, he and Erlang will join the official service, and the uncle and nephew will be able to take care of each other." The old man added.

Erlang's eyes darkened, looking after each other? He wouldn't believe it. His uncle wanted his whole family to die.

"Dad, if my family could be more relaxed, we wouldn't have to work from dawn to dusk to make a living. It's not that we don't help the eldest brother, it's really hard for the second brother to provide for him." Bai Yihong told the truth. In ancient times, ordinary farmers provided a scholar. not easy.

The old man looked serious. He sighed and said, "I know it's difficult for you too, so if we have an official in our family, things will get better in the future. Your eldest brother is old and doesn't have much time to waste any more time." , if he had never improved before, forget it, but now that luck has come, I thought if we can't do it, we will confess your eldest brother first."

Lin Ping'er almost started to curse again, but Bai Zehao pulled his mother's sleeve, and Lin Ping'er held back her anger.

The old man continued to speak as if no one was watching: "Anyway, Erlang is still young, so he is not afraid of being delayed by three years. When his uncle becomes an official, when he takes the imperial examination next time, he will have more people to help him, and he may be able to develop better." ."

Even though Erlang was such a stable person, his face turned dark at this moment. He said in an indifferent tone: "Grandpa, let's talk about it when we make money. Luck doesn't come every day. It's three years later. What if we don't have the money like my uncle did before?" If I’m lucky, I won’t be able to pass the exam for decades, who will support me?”

The old man heard that Erlang was unwilling, and he opened his eyes, "How come you have become more selfish now? Look at how those wealthy families have family values. It doesn't matter if you become an official by yourself. In the officialdom, there are It is only right for relatives to help each other."

"Grandpa, I took the civil service examination this time. I think I will have a better chance of taking the civil service exam and have a greater chance of becoming an official. Why don't I join the official position first and help my uncle in the future?" Erlang's tone became colder again. .

The old man slapped the table and said, "In the final analysis, it's all your selfishness. Your uncle is old, how many years can he waste? You took the exam and your tail is raised to the sky. That's just a moment." You've only been studying for a few years, how can you do as well as your uncle? He has been studying for at least several decades, how do you know that he will not do as well as you in the future? "

Lin Ping'er couldn't bear it anymore and muttered in a low voice, "There are many people who have studied for decades and are still scholars. It doesn't necessarily mean that they will be able to be scholars after being admitted as scholars."
