Li Laogen didn't believe what Li Qingzhi said. How could their family live as wealthy as the Zhu family!
But Jin Xiaoye has become much more generous recently, so maybe their family can eat some salted fish and tofu every day.
Thinking this, Li Laogen went to the riverside with the bowl in his hand.
Their family is going to build a house tomorrow, and he needs to talk to someone about it again.
After Li Laogen left, Jin Xiaoshu quickly finished his meal and went home. Li Qingzhi took Li Damao and Li Ermao to the river to take a bath.
You can still wear short sleeves these days, but the river water has become a little cold. However, Li Damao and Li Ermao are rough people and don't care at all. They take off their clothes and go into the river as usual. If they step on or see snails, they will pick them up and put them aside, waiting to go home to feed the ducks.
After cleaning up the two children and washing their clothes, Li Qingzhi took Li Da
Mao Li and Er Mao went home.
He thought it would be better to build a bathroom behind the main room.
People in Miaoqian Village often don’t take a bath for the whole winter, and at most they just wipe their bodies. In his previous life, in the end of the world, he never took a bath at all in the following years.
But he loves bathing as much as he loves eating.
It feels so good to cleanse your body!
How comfortable it would be if they had a bathroom at home so they could take a hot bath in winter!
Not long after Li Qingzhi got home, Jin Xiaoye came back after taking a shower.
She had washed her hair and was now drying it with a piece of cotton.
This cotton cloth was just bought by Jin Xiaoye. Since she started earning some income, she has gradually bought some small things for her home.
"A Qing, you brought back a lot of things from Mr. Zhu's house. What are they?" Jin Xiaoye asked curiously.
Li Qingzhi said, "These are the writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone that I used when I was in the Zhu family. Master Zhu gave them to me."
"That should be worth a lot of money?" Jin Xiaoye asked.
Since she started rowing, she has come into contact with more and more people and learned more and more things.
After learning that Li Qingzhi was going to copy books at home, she asked Mrs. Xu and found out that the prices of pens, ink, paper and inkstone were very expensive.
It costs more than ten taels of silver a year for Mrs. Xu's son to study with Mr. Li!
Of course, Mrs. Xu's son was already very frugal. She only found out a few days ago that Yao Zhenfu next door spent fifty taels a year.
"The inkstone and writing brush that Mr. Zhu prepared for me are all good things. Added together, they are probably worth more than ten taels of silver." Li Qingzhi said.
Zhu Qian wanted to be friends with him, so he gave him some extra ink and pens.
The ink was good, and the pens were good too. Most students would only be willing to use such good ink and pens when they took the county examination.
"Is this thing so expensive?" Jin Xiaoye didn't even dare to touch those things.
"Studying is very expensive." Li Qingzhi sighed. In Da Qi, the price of studying is equivalent to sending children to private schools in modern times, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands per year. Of course, there are also more expensive ones, and there is no upper limit.
The income sources of ordinary people in Da Qi were very limited. Most people relied on farming to support themselves, and since there was not much land, they naturally could not afford to send their children to school.
In fact, even in modern times, farmers who only cultivate a few acres of their own land cannot afford to send their children to private schools.
