Wen Family Has a Wife

While talking, Hu Wenzhi took his father and son to the next yard to have a look. After entering Wen Youshan, he realized that it was a two-entry yard. All the rooms were converted into school buildings. The above students live in the outer hospital, and those under the age of 15 live in the inner hospital. When everyone saw Hu Wenzhi, they immediately bowed respectfully.

Hu Wenzhi took the three to an empty room in the inner courtyard and left. There was nothing in it except for two beds, two desks and chairs, and two cabinets. The room was obviously cleaned beforehand, and it looked clean, but there was none. Quilt, can't sleep at all.

Wen Youshan glanced at it and said to the two children, "Go borrow a wooden basin and get some water to wipe the things. Dad is going to sell the goods now and buy you quilts and pen, ink, paper and inkstone. By the way, also If there is a book given by Mr., remember not to leave this courtyard."

The two children nodded heavily and watched Wen Youshan leave before running to work.

Here Wen Youshan pushed the scooter to the remote alley, all the way to the back door of the brothel, knocked on the door skillfully and reported his name, and someone immediately opened the door for him, Wen Youshan pushed the scooter directly in, and Cui Niang also brought someone Came to check.

After holding back for a whole winter, it was rare to see so many fresh seafood at this time. Cui Niang generously gave two or two and a half, and explained that Wen Youshan would get more good things next time.

Wen Youshan agreed without even thinking about it. After leaving the back door of the brothel, he took off his hat, took off the tattered clothes outside and hurriedly walked to the main street. There is a Song Mozhai in the county, which is quite famous. It took me a long time to find it. After asking, I realized that an ordinary set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone costs one or two silver, and the slightly better ones cost one or two half. Of course, there are also more expensive ones, but Wen Youshan didn't even ask. , was really embarrassed, and didn't dare to ask at all, he directly asked the shopkeeper to get him two sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstone and three books for enlightenment, so the five taels of silver was gone.

This is also because he bought a few books for enlightenment. If one book of "The Analects of Confucius" costs two or three taels, the money is too expensive to spend, and he feels more and more that earning money is imminent.

In addition to these things, those quilts, bedding, tubs and other toiletries cost another 22 taels of silver. Wen Youshan was already numb. He pushed a cart of things to the school, tidy up the houses of his two sons, and cut two pounds of meat to send. When I went to Feng's house, I evacuated, and I didn't dare to stay in the county for a long time.

It was not an easy task to drive back to Fushan Village at night. By the time he arrived at the village, it was already three watch. He hastened to speed up, for fear that the sound of the cart would alarm the villagers.

After finally returning to the door of the house halfway up the mountain, the door was locked, and he was stunned. At this time, it was not only Chen Ningya who woke up by knocking on the door, but also the Sun family at the foot of the mountain. How to explain it? Wen Youshan has a headache. Now, he squatted at the door of the house clutching his hair and sighed. He had no choice but to run under the fence in the backyard to try and shout twice. He didn't hold out his hopes. Looking at him with a lantern around the corner and smiling.

At that moment, Wen Youshan was really surprised, and without thinking, he rushed over and picked him up, "Miss, I thought I had to sleep outside today, but fortunately you heard."

Chen Ningya struggled for a while, then laughed twice, "Hurry up and let me down, what's the point of hugging here in the middle of the night."

Wen Youshan directly carried the person onto the cart and pushed her into the yard, then quickly closed the yard door and pushed Chen Ningya to the backyard before putting her down.

Chen Ningya couldn't help crying and laughing because of him, "I've boiled hot water for you, hurry up and take a bath, you should be hungry, I'll give you a note."

It is hard to cook anything in the middle of the night, but the noodles are simpler and more manageable.

"Okay, listen to the lady." Wen Youshan grinned, and obediently ran to take a bath.

When he finished bathing, the noodles were out of the pot.

The two of them sat at the small square table in the stove, Chen Ningya propped her chin and watched Wen Youshan eat in silence. The surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the sound of eating noodles and the occasional beeping of the firewood burning under the stove. ,

It was unusually quiet.

Wen Youshan ate a few mouthfuls, and only slowed down when he was about 80 percent full, and said to Chen Ningya, "Today, both children have been accepted by the school, and they will be given six taels of silver to buy pen, ink and paper for them. Inkstones and quilts, etc., cost seven taels of silver, those sea goods were sold for two and a half, and two catties of meat were cut. Thanks to Feng Caotou, I made a calculation on the way, and the children spent ten for their studies. Three taels of silver is enough for us to repair the front yard, it's only a year, tsk tsk tsk, this scholar is really not something ordinary people can afford."

To be honest, it's not that Wen Youshan didn't regret sending his second son to study, but he didn't regret it after all the words were released yesterday. Now it's really stressful for him to sacrifice his two sons all at once.

Chen Ningya glanced at him, and said angrily: "Look at your prosperous! Where is this going? The next year's expenses will be more, plus our family's food, drink and Lhasa, it will cost twenty a year. Just a few taels of silver."

Wen Youshan's face changed, but he felt that his face was no longer fragrant.

Chen Ningya was amused by him and laughed.

Wen Youshan was very resentful, "Miss, I'm dying of worry, how can you still laugh?"

"What are you worried about? Are you worried about money?" Chen Ningya put away her casual look and said seriously: "Don't forget that we still have that beach, be diligent a month, and you can go to the county seven or eight times anyway, nothing else. Said, as long as you can exchange one or two taels for a trip, you can have ten or so silvers a month, plus the occasional prey that falls into the trap, there are hundreds of silvers in a year, it is really impossible, I will think of other things The way to make money, no matter what, you won't let your child fail to pay for the repair, you can rest assured."

Seeing Chen Ningya's confident appearance, Wen Youshan's heart was inexplicably calmed down, as if it was no longer a matter of worrying about it for a long time.

But An Xin returned to An Xin, Wen Youshan did not dare to be lazy. From this day on, Chen Ningya discovered that this person suddenly turned into a desperate Saburo, going out every day before dawn, returning home under the stars and wearing the moon, coming and going in a hurry, just like a spinning top. Stop and turn. Chen Ningya didn't stop it, because there were times when he had to stop.

Sure enough, when the midsummer entered, Wen Youshan was forced to stop by several heavy rains. Looking at the pouring rain outside, he kept sighing in the room. Chen Ningya was teaching Wen Yuanzhen needlework. After listening for a while, he couldn't bear it. Stopped, frowned and said, "If you're really too busy, go and help me with some work."

"What are you doing?" Wen Youshan turned back, his big eyes were full of confusion, the water tank at home seemed to be full, and there was no shortage of firewood. Is there anything else that needs him?
