Li Yu raised it for a month, and ate ginseng and cinnamon every day. Although he was not cured, he was almost healed, and his face was much rosier than before.
The weather was fine and warm on this day, Li Yu sat on the bed and looked outside, feeling a little itchy, "Ying Niang, I want to go out and bask in the sun."
Liu Yingniang was walking in the yard with her stomach supported. Li Su asked her to walk in the yard for half an hour every morning and afternoon. Liu Yingniang is now very convinced by her mother-in-law's words, and immediately raised her voice after hearing what Fu Lang said.
"Mother, Yu Lang said that she wanted to come out to bask in the sun."
Li Su came out from the main room, "That's fine. Zuo Kui, move out the Taishi chair and spread a blanket." Then he went to help Li Yu out.
Li Yuan was taking his younger sister and Yan'er to read characters on the sand table. When he saw his father coming out of the house, he was very happy and hurried over.
When Li Yu was in good spirits, he had already checked his son's homework, and when he saw him, he said, "Mom, I think I'm getting better now, why don't you let Yuan'er study with me every morning, and Ru'er can also read together Get up. Although my daughter does not need to be very proficient, it is good to know a few more words."
Li Su nodded, "These days, thanks to Erlang of the Ling family, I thought, since you want to teach, why don't you ask if the boys in his family are willing to learn. If they are willing, you can send them together."
Li's family is withered, and Li Yu has only one, not to mention direct brothers, and there are no cousins. He understands that if there are no relatives, then these neighbors have to be wooed.
"Of course it is possible. But the house at home is not big enough, and there are too many children, so there is no place to sit." Li Yu said.
"It's simple, just teach it in the yard, then build a sunshade shed later, and get a few sets of tables, chairs and benches. Anyway, it will only take half a day, and I will rest when it rains." Li Su thought for a while and said.
Li Yu nodded, "That's fine."
"Okay, then I'll talk to Ling Er later." Li Su knew that Ling Er would definitely agree. Not everyone can study these days.
Sure enough, when Li Su went to the next door to talk, Ling Er's family was very excited and immediately agreed. Although Ling Er was the second child, the older brother died before reaching adulthood. There are also several sisters who are also married. Ling Er was actually the only son in the family, but fortunately his wife was able to give birth, and after a few years of marriage, he gave birth to three sons at once. Ling Er is a carpenter, and the person he admires the most in his life is a scholar. Therefore, he is very enthusiastic about Li Yu's family. Now that Li Yu proposed to teach his son to read, Ling Er was overjoyed.
That night I ping-pong-pong at home all night. The next morning, they brought all the tables, chairs and benches, and together with Zuo Kui, they built a sunshade in the Li family's yard. In just half a day, a simple small class is ready.
Ling Er sent the eldest and second child here, and the third child is still young and still breastfeeding, so let's get rid of it! Including Li Yuan, Li Ru, and Li Ru's companion, Yan'er, there are five children in total.
Li Su thought that since he wanted to study, he always needed books, and he had to prepare things like pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I thought about going out to buy it.
Li Yu hurriedly called her to stop, "Mother, don't be busy." Then he slowly said to Li Su, "Except for Yuan'er, the others are all beginners. "Character", "Disciple Regulations", "Children's Learning Qionglin", "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions" and so on, I have all of them in my study. As for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, except for Yuan'er, I don't need it for the time being."
Li Su shook his head, "You only have one book in your study, so maybe they only read one book in class! Since you want to teach, you have to behave yourself. It's just a few books, how much are they worth?" When you were not at home, Ling Er helped us a lot."
"Mother, that's not what I mean. I just have nothing to do while I'm recuperating, and teach them. If our family buys books and provides pens, ink, paper and inkstones, other neighbors will send their children here when they see it. To accept or not to accept?" Li Yu said. He didn't plan to open a school to become a teacher, he still wanted to continue the imperial examination.
"If that's the case, then simply open a school and let them teach Shuxiu." This is Li Su's idea. These days, she has been thinking about how to reform Li Yu. After thinking for a long time, she came up with this method. I don't know the effect, but at the very least let him know that life is not easy, "Why? Do you still expect to be like before, not to work, to concentrate on studying, and to expect the family to continue to support you by saving money?"
Li Yu blushed a little at what Li Su said, and he didn't know why the topic suddenly changed here, "Mother! But don't you have money at home?"
"If you have money, it is also my money. The money from my family heirloom pawn has nothing to do with you. You said that you are in your twenties, and you can do nothing except study. You used to rely on your parents and wives for work. To support you. Now your father is gone, your wife is pregnant, and your mother and I are old. Shouldn’t you shoulder the burden of supporting the family? Now you are not asked to continue the scientific research, but to teach children part-time, anyway To earn some living expenses and support the family, if you push back and forth, you are still not a man!" Li Suyi said in a serious manner.
Li Yu didn't know how to speak for a while, so he could only look at Li Su in a daze, and it took him a long time to organize his words, "Mother, you were not like this before. Didn't you say before that all things are inferior but reading is high? You said I just want Study hard, don't I need to worry about the rest?"
"It used to be the past. In the past, your father was there, and your father was working in the yamen. The family had some income and could afford you. But now? The family is old, and the family is small. Is it possible that you still want your old man?" Is my mother and your pregnant wife going to do sewing for money to continue supporting you?" Li Su said with a straight face.
"But, but..." Li Yu said.
"There's nothing wrong with it, so it's decided! Besides, if you don't want to open a private school to teach, maybe people won't feel at ease entrusting their children to you to teach. Let's see!" Li Su rolled his eyes and said.
Li Yu felt that something was wrong with his mother. His mother gave birth to three children, and he was the only one who survived. His mother has always treated him like a treasure, and she doesn't allow others to say a word about him. His mother would never say such a thing.
But now, although his mother is still very good to him, he has been ill for the past few days, and his food and clothing are all top-notch. He also read the prescriptions of the medicines he took, such as ginseng and cinnamon, a medicine cost three taels of silver, and his mother gave it without hesitation.
But how should I put it, his mother is full of dislike for him! This is wrong! In his mother's eyes, he was number one in the world, how could he despise himself!
The more Li Yu thought about it, the more something was wrong. Taking advantage of Yingniang's delivery of food, he invited her to sit down beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Yingniang, did anything special happen at home while I was away? Zeng was sick?" Could it be some goblin or ghost, who took advantage of Mother's illness and got on Mother's body
Liu Yingniang shook her head, "There is nothing special at home, and my mother is in good health, but Ru'er has always been weak, and she got sick when the seasons changed. But now the family life is better, and Ru'er rarely gets sick. Now that I have another playmate, Ru'er is much happier. Mother also said that Ru'er is much better than before."
Seeing that Liu Yingniang failed to understand what he meant, Li Yu felt a little headache, and at the same time felt a little disgusted. The reason why he married Liu Yingniang back then was because she was good-looking, and no one in the world had ever seen a better-looking woman than Yingniang. That's why the young and frivolous Li Yu insisted on marrying her.
Later, Li Yu himself regretted a little. The Liu family was just an ordinary family, patriarchal, and did not pay much attention to Yingniang. As soon as Yingniang got married, the Yue family moved to the south. Broken kiss. Li Yu regretted talking about this Yue family that didn't help him in any way.
Fortunately, Liu Yingniang's belly was very competitive, and she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, which symbolized auspiciousness. The regret in Li Yu's heart faded a little.
In addition, in the past few years, Yingniang has been diligent and diligent in helping her husband and children, and she and herself have kept filial piety for their father for three years. Now that they are pregnant again, Li Yu is quite satisfied with Liu Yingniang. But seeing her silly and sweet look now, Li Yu felt a little uncomfortable.
Forget it, I can't ask her anything.
Li Yu called Li Yuan again, and said insinuatingly: "Yuan'er, what unusual things happened at home these days when Dad was away?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "No!"
Li Yu frowned, "Where is your grandma? How is this time?"
Li Yuan shook his head, "Grandma, it's still the same as before." The same delicious and lazy food, only a little more generous, and a better attitude towards my sister than before. But it's not surprising. Before, they were troubled by lack of money, but now that they have money, it's naturally different.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from his son, Li Yu was a little helpless. Could it be his illusion? I always feel something is wrong.
In Li Yu's heart, his son is obviously more trustworthy than his wife. Although his son is still young, his son is extremely intelligent, so he is naturally not an ordinary child.
"Yuan'er, tell dad the truth, don't you think your grandma is a little different now?" Li Yu asked directly.
"Grandma is a little different from before, but isn't it all caused by lack of money?" Li Yuan sighed and said, "In the past, the family had no money. Daddy, you are Grandma's heart, and I am Grandma's eyes." My son, everyone in the family is tight on the two of us, and even grandma herself is living a miserable life. The family is still in debt, so grandma was naturally in a bad mood at that time! Now that life is better at home, grandma is naturally the same as before It’s different. Dad, you have to work hard, and I too, we two men can’t be supported by a woman! Dad, how do you think my handwriting is good? Can I go to the bookstore to copy books for some money? What kind of heirloom do you think Grandma is, and how much money we have to earn to redeem Grandma! Daddy, don’t you think so?”
Li Yu was shocked by his son's words, he only went out for a month, how could the world have changed
