That night, Liu Tangxi was sleeping soundly and suddenly heard something outside. When she opened her eyes, Wei Hanzhou was already dressed.

"What's wrong? What happened outside?" Liu Tangxi rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.

"Second sister-in-law is about to give birth." Wei Hanzhou replied concisely.

Liu Tangxi suddenly woke up and quickly put on clothes and got out of bed.

Maybe it's because one had been born before, and it didn't take long for this one to be born.

Because they were born with sons, they were arranged according to Bosheng's name, and their name was Wei Zhongxing.

The birth of a newborn can always bring joy and hope to people. The food in the field has been collected a lot, and the apples have been sold for a lot of money. Wei's third family is very happy.

Wei Hanzhou had already arrived for the vacation, and stayed at home for a few more days.

However, Wei Hanzhou will also go to school after Xisan.

The day before Wei Hanzhou left, the third Wei family sat together and talked for a while in the yard.

Zhou slept with the child in his arms in the room, and everyone else was there.

Seeing the second son with a smile on his face, Wei Lao San said: "Second, now your daughter-in-law has given birth to you a son, you have to do a good job, and raise their wives in the future."

Wei Erhu nodded and said solemnly: "Well, don't worry, father, my son saves it."

Then the two of you said a few more words about this matter.

Zhang looked at his son playing under the grape truss, and the sadness in his eyes could not be removed.

Before the twenty taels of silver in the family were spent, she didn't have any savings, and she didn't mention her son's study. But now that the grain has been collected, the apples have been sold for a lot of money, and the embroidery has also made a lot of money. There should be money.

Is it possible to mention the son's studies?

But the apples are grown together by the family, and the money for embroidery is mainly earned by the three younger siblings. Moreover, the third younger siblings also taught their daughters embroidery and taught their sons to read.

Next year, the third brother will also need money for the scientific examination.

In this case, she couldn't say anything.

Thinking of this, Zhang glanced at his smiling husband who was sitting beside him, and sighed slightly.

That's all, let's wait for the third brother to be judged in the exam next year. If the third brother passes the exam, his son will not worry about studying. After all, the third younger siblings and third younger brothers can teach sporadically now, and the son doesn't know how to do anything.

Zhang was thinking about it, only listening to his father-in-law's eyes looking at the couple's side.

"Boss, now I have money in my family, and I am in good shape. It doesn't take so many years to buy medicines, and our family can save money. After some time, we will sell all the apples on the mountain, and then sell some food at home. , Let the uncle student go to Li Xiucai to study."

Upon hearing this, Zhang's eyes widened immediately and turned to look at Wei Daniu excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Wei Daniu refused.

"Father, the third brother will have an exam next year, and the second brother has just had a child, so he has to spend money, let them use it first. Uncle is only six years old this year, so don't worry."

Zhang's eyes dimmed when he heard this. Although she was a little disappointed, she also understood that what her husband said was the truth, and she could not say anything against it.

Since Wei Lao San said such things, he didn't just talk about it casually, but had already planned for it. From his third son, he discovered the benefits of letting offspring go to school. I heard that the rich and noble family let their children enlighten to school at the age of three. Their uncle was already six years old, so it was too late.

If the family is rich, he wants his two granddaughters to study. Didn't you see? His three daughters-in-laws both read books and can embroider, which is different from ordinary girls. He also imagined that his family would be richer in the future, so that his children and grandchildren would have a good future.

"No, father has already calculated it. If we deduct the food we eat, apples and grain can be sold for five or six taels of silver. Daddy is in good health, and your brothers don't have to worry about the work in the field. You can go to the town to do odd jobs. Yes. You can earn five taels in one year. In addition, the embroidering money earned by your wife, second child, and third child is enough for the third child to take the exam. The remaining money will allow the uncle to go to school. It’s just that everyone’s life this year will be a bit harder. But the hardship won’t last too long. If you save slowly, the money will come."

As the patriarch of the family, Wei Lao San knew everything about the situation at home and planned what to do in the future.

Listening to Wei Lao San’s calculations, Liu Tangxi silently calculated. There are twelve people in this family, eight adults, planting fruit trees, growing food, doing odd jobs, and embroidering. They only make twenty-two taels a year. Silver, this is saved day and night.

Before she came, embroidery won't make much money, and Apple won't make much money.

Presumably twenty taels of silver have been saved for many years.

She suddenly understood Wei Hanzhou's anger in the book.

The twenty taels of silver was the life-saving money of Wei Lao San, and it was also the money that the entire Wei family had saved for many years. Not to mention that Wei Lao San was deceived by the original owner, and Wei Lao San was also furious.

"It was too hard at home to study for Uncle Sheng. He read early and late. The third brother only read when he was ten years old. Aren't they reading well now?" Wei Daniu said.

Liu Tangxi didn't agree with this view, and opened his mouth, for the first time wanting to say something in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to speak, Wei Hanzhou took the conversation.

"Read it later."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tangxi's eyes widened and looked at Wei Hanzhou in disbelief.

After her observation of Wei Hanzhou during this period of time, she really couldn't see that Wei Hanzhou was such a person, and she didn't expect him to say such a thing. Is his nature really as in the book?

Selfish, only consider yourself.

Liu Tangxi didn't believe it.

At this moment, Wei Hanzhou spoke again: "Father, brother and sister, don’t worry. Although Li Xiucai’s place is more convenient, it is not a good choice. I went to town and asked a few of them the other day. Xiu is about the same as Li Xiucai, even less than him, and some masters are better than Li Xiucai back then. The eldest brother and the second brother also go to town to do odd jobs on weekdays, and they can bring the uncle student back. Bring him back when the time comes, without any delay. It’s just that I haven’t found out the character of the few talents in the town. There is one who is in the same class as the husband who teaches me now. It’s not too late to send my uncle over."

Liu Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Hanzhou has always been a reliable and talented scholar, and everyone in his family is willing to listen to him.

Hearing what he said, Zhang's heart was happy, and it was better to go to town than to study in the village.

Before Wei Daniel could refuse, Zhang couldn't help saying, "Thank you, third brother."

"Sister-in-law is polite."

Wei Daniu looked at his brother and his wife again, after thinking about it, he agreed.

When Liu Tangxi heard that Wei Hanzhou said that she went to town to inquire about it, she thought about the two people going to town that day. She only thought that Wei Hanzhou was going to sell apples, but she didn’t expect that she would also visit the juniors to study. The place.

It's really worth going to town this time.

Moreover, listening to Wei Hanzhou's meaning, this is questioning Li Xiucai's knowledge and...character?

Thinking of the girl who stopped in front of them that day and said that she would send a reference book, Liu Tangxi stared at Wei Hanzhou's profile.

Otherwise, to avoid suspicion?

However, no matter what it is, Liu Tangxi is very happy.

The girl's eyes made her very uncomfortable, so she was relieved to learn that Wei Hanzhou didn't like the family either. After all, if Uncle Sheng really went there to study, he would have to deal with each other.

Not only Liu Tangxi heard this, but Li also heard it somehow.

"The third child, are you saying that there is something wrong with Li Xiucai?"

Wei Hanzhou thought for a while, and denied: "No, it's just that it's a big deal for Uncle Sheng to study. Finding a good husband can often get twice the result with half the effort."

Wei Erhu hadn’t spoken a while ago, and couldn’t help saying: “Li Xiucai needs a lot of training, but after so many years, I really haven’t heard of any good students he taught. The third brother is just here. After listening to class for a few days in his family, he boasted that he had taught his third brother and was so cheeky."

After hearing this, Wei Laosan coughed heavily, looked at Wei Erhu displeasedly, and said, "I just praised you for being prudent, but in the end you said something like this. That's a Xiucai Lang, can you talk nonsense? Besides, he really taught your third brother."

Back then, Wei Hanzhou did go to Li Xiucai's home to study, but Li Xiucai disliked Wei Hanzhou's old age, and was very impatient with him, and received more restraints than others.

After Wei Hanzhou studied with him for a period of time, he taught himself at home, and later went to school for a period of time in the town.

Waiting for Wei Hanzhou to pass the exam a few years later, Li Xiucai began to regret what he had done back then, and wanted to get close to Wei Hanzhou and marry his granddaughter to him.

After Wei Lao San finished talking about his second son, he looked at his third son and asked with some worry: "Lao San, he said outside like this, will it affect you?"

Wei Hanzhou shook his head, frowned slightly, and said, "That's not true, Li Xiucai still has some abilities."

Wei Lao San finally felt relieved after hearing this.

In the early morning of the second day, Wei Hanzhou carried a few apples at home and took a car to the uncle's house who was delivering food in the next village.

After waiting for a few days, the uncle who delivered the food suddenly sent a letter to their home.

This has never happened before. Wei Hanzhou never writes at home because no one at home can read.

Now I have started to write letters, and everyone knows exactly why.

After getting the letter, Wei Lao San asked Li to give the letter to Liu Tangxi.

After Liu Tangxi received the letter, he read it in front of everyone.

It turned out that Wei Hanzhou had already found an apple shop in the county town, and the price of apples had risen by two cents, or six cents per catty. It's just that the other party wants to come and see the apple tree, and wants to pick it personally.

The purpose of Wei Hanzhou's letter was to ask them not to pick it up first, and to pick it up personally when they came, and at the same time, to tell everyone about the shop, so that everyone would not be fooled.

The third Wei family was overjoyed.

Thinking of the mess in the orchard on the mountain, Liu Tangxi quickly reminded Li.

"Mother, I'm from the county seat, and I'm not sure that we must have apples. Let's tidy up the orchard on the mountain these few days, it will look better."

Hearing what Liu Tangxi said, Li felt reasonable, and Wei Lao San also agreed.

That afternoon, a few of them went to the mountain to plant an orchard.

First cleaned up the rotten apples on the ground, and then uprooted the weeds.

It's simple to say, they have done it for three or four days before they can do it well.

People came from the county town on the second day.

Looking at the clean orchard, the shopkeeper praised it a lot: "No wonder your apples are so delicious, they were carefully taken care of."

Wei Lao San and his wife didn't speak much, so they smiled and said nothing.

The shopkeeper took a few young men around again, and asked a few questions, Wei Lao San told each other honestly.

Later, the shopkeeper asked how the apples are so delicious, and Wei Lao San and his wife looked at each other and talked about the basic methods.

The shopkeeper frowned upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Since it's an ordinary fruit tree, it didn't taste good before, how come it suddenly tastes good this year?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Tangxi was a little anxious, and quickly added: "Our fruit trees are indeed ordinary, bought in the town. However, this year we have added some unique management methods to make the fruits delicious."

Wei Lao San and his wife had surprised expressions on their faces. It seemed that they didn't understand why Liu Tangxi said that. Isn't this... a lie?

However, after that, not only did they not continue to question when they saw the shopkeeper, but on the contrary, they had a clear expression and stopped talking.

Later, when the shopkeeper asked any more questions, Wei Lao San and his wife habitually took a look at their third daughter-in-law.

Liu Tangxi also lived up to expectations and started talking to the shopkeeper.

"Can you guarantee that all the apples are delicious?"

"Of course you can. You can pick an unfamiliar one and taste it. It is guaranteed to be sweet."

Liu Tangxi thought, it's impossible that the tree she has touched is not sweet.

The shopkeeper deliberately picked a few greener and smaller apples and ate them with a few young men. While eating, he nodded, the expression on his face was very satisfied.

"What if there is something not sweet?" the shopkeeper asked again.

"Impossible, you come to me if you are not sweet, it is absolutely sweet." Liu Tangxi assured.

She has these hands and is not afraid at all. No matter how unpalatable apples are in her hands, they will become delicious.

It seems that Liu Tangxi's expression and tone are more confident, and the last trace of doubt in the shopkeeper's heart is gone, and he readily starts picking apples with the young man.

Wei Laosan and his wife wanted to go up and help, but Liu Tangxi stopped them.

"Father, mother, no, you just need to rest, watch them, don't let them destroy our apple tree."

Just let them pick it by themselves, in case they fail to pick it, it will be troublesome then.

Moreover, she has also been to the orchard in her previous life, and many tourists like to pick it by herself.

Wei Lao San and his wife thought for a while, but didn't step forward. However, Li asked the question just now: "The third wife, how did you lie to them just now? What if someone finds out?"

Liu Tangxi blinked and said, "No, isn't it what the Xianggong said? The stream may be different."

This year their apple tree is indeed different from the past, that is, they were touched by her. But this kind of thing can't be told to others. Therefore, I had to push it to Wei Hanzhou.

Anyway, Wei Hanzhou was not at home, and he did say such a thing, it was right to throw the problem on him.

The third child of Wei thought for a while, glanced at the shopkeeper not far away, and whispered to Li, "The third child is right, and the third wife's wife just dealt with it very well, but don't talk about it. ."

"Well, my daughter-in-law remembered."

The shopkeeper first picked about 50 catties of well-ripe apples and settled the money.

Looking at the more than 300 yuan in his hand, Wei Laosan was excited from ear to ear.

After returning, Wei Lao San thought for a while and asked Liu Tangxi to write a letter to Wei Hanzhou explaining the situation.

Liu Tangxi had never written classical Chinese at all, and he wrote a few words when he picked up the pen.

Xiang Gong: The shopkeeper Wang came and took away about 50 catties of apples, totaling more than 300 yuan.

After finishing writing, Liu Tangxi read the contents of the letter paper in public.

Wei Lao San was very satisfied, and realized the necessity of women's literacy more and more.

Li looked at the two lines of the letter, but they were quite different, and said, "Hey, why is this character different from the third one?"

Liutangxi big embarrassment.

She rarely writes with a brush, even if she has the memory of the original owner in her mind, the original owner is not a handwriting person, so she is not very skilled. In addition, she used a hard pen to write more in her previous life, which has been fixed.

Her writing is extremely bad, naturally different from Wei Hanzhou's.

"This... my daughter-in-law hasn't written for a long time, it's unfamiliar."

Listening to what Liu Tangxi said, Li didn't ask any more, asking about other things: "The third wife, such a big piece of paper, why don't you write more, isn't it a waste?"

"Yes, I see everyone else writing a page full of paper." Zhang Shi also said from the side.

Liu Tangxi thought, after all things have been said, what else is there to write?

After pondering for a while, Liu Tangxi asked, "Mother, do you have anything else you want to say? I'll write it for you."

Li quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't have one, I'm fine, don't let him worry about it."

Zhang smiled and said: "The third sibling, the third brother came back after going away for a month. You can write what you want to say, just like the mother said, it would be a waste of not to write."

Hearing this, Li immediately smiled and agreed: "Yes, the third wife, write what you want to say, don't write about us."

Liu Tangxi understood Li and Zhang's words, and suddenly became embarrassed.

She didn't have anything to say to Wei Hanzhou. Wei Hanzhou wouldn't come back. She slept in a room alone, safe and at ease.

But you can't say that.

Seeing the expectation in Li's eyes, Liu Tangxi bit his head and wrote a few more words.

"Daddy is in good health. You only need to take the medicine once a day. The smile on my mother's face is a little bit more. Everything is fine for my brother and sister. The "Three Character Classic" has been taught, and Bosheng, Fuyao and Shulan have already memorized it. Fuyao He can recite the fastest, but he is slower, but he remembers that he is more solid than Fuyao. He recognized a few more words today. He will start teaching "Thousand Characters" tomorrow. Zhongxing can also eat and sleep. In short, everything is fine at home. , Study hard, don't read."

After finishing writing, he was about to read, but Li refused.

"Okay, you don't need to read it, you just know it with the youngest."

Seeing Li's teasing eyes, Liu Tangxi's face turned red unconsciously.

After the envelope was completed, Wei Laosan and his wife took a few eggs to the next village and sent the letter to the uncle who delivered the food.

Early the next morning, Wei Hanzhou received a letter from Liu Tangxi.

Looking at Liu Tangxi's words like a dog crawling, Wei Hanzhou's forehead slightly jumped.

However, although the words are ugly, he understands the content.

After reading it, Wei Hanzhou folded the letter and placed it on his chest.

Two days later, Liu Tangxi received Wei Hanzhou's letter again.

The content on the first page is relatively normal. It says that Wei Hanzhou has contacted a shop again. After seeing the popularity of Wang's shopkeeper, this family decided to increase the price. It was set at seven cents per catty, and one hundred catties.

After reading the first page, Liu Tangxi was about to read the second page, and suddenly found something wrong.

"Yan body..."

The face is dignified and vigorous, the Liu style is handsome and unrestrained, and my wife's brushwork is casual, and he has a unique style.

Ha ha.

Liu Tangxi sneered in his heart.

"The third daughter-in-law, why don't you read it? What's written after the third child?" Li asked suspiciously.

Not only was Li puzzled, the others were also surprised, and looked up at her.

Liu Tangxi said, "I wrote... I wrote..."

Thinking of what happened that day, Zhang quickly relieved Liu Tangxi: "What did the third brother write to you?"

Liu Tangxi is even more embarrassing.

Everyone looked at her expression and gradually became clear, all smiles kindly, and no longer asked her to read it.

"The third wife, go back and see." Li said with a smile.

Liu Tangxi 囧, took the letter and went back.

He scolded Wei Hanzhou countless times in his heart. ,,
