Li Mo was originally afraid that Xiaobao would be like those modern children who just started kindergarten and would not adapt or even not want to go to school, but unexpectedly, Xiaobao was very obedient and adapted well. Every day when she and Song Dashan went to pick him up , They all ran out with a smile on their faces, and they didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
Li Mo went down to ask Xiaobao's master about his situation in private, and the master laughed and praised Xiaobao for being smart and eager to learn, learning better than other older children, and he is a good seedling.
Hearing what Master said, Li Mo was happy but also heaved a sigh of relief, the worries in her heart disappeared.
However, although Xiaobao is very good and does not need adults to worry about it, Li Mo did not completely leave Xiaobao's education to the academy. She will still find opportunities to teach Xiaobao some knowledge that was not available in ancient times, and try to broaden Xiaobao's vision and thinking. Improve his knowledge literacy.
She has very little workload now, so she will take Xiaobao by the hand and send him to the academy every day, and then pick him up when Xiaobao leaves school, talk to him a lot on the way, teach him some principles, and talk to him Discuss some topics, while the mother and son are happy, they also teach Xiaobao a lot.
Little Treasure is picked up by Li Mo every day and has a very happy life. He is happier than when he was at home, so he especially likes to go to the academy. Every day when he comes back, he will tell his family what he learned in the academy today. The master praised him today Who, and which classmate was punished by the teacher for not taking it seriously, and so on.
At this time, the adults would listen to Xiaobao's words with smiles in their eyes, only Huzi's eyes were full of envy and longing.
After Xiaobao went to school, Huzi was the only child left in the family. Every day, he would swing on the swings, ride a wooden horse, and take a nap by himself. Hu Zi also wants to go to school.
However, he knew that going to school was very expensive and expensive, and he knew that he and his mother had no money, so he didn't dare to talk about going to school, and he could only secretly envy him in his heart.
Li Mo discovered the longing in Huzi's eyes, and knew that the child also wanted to go to school, but going to school was a big deal, and it was also a very expensive thing. She didn't know if Sister-in-law Qin planned to let Huzi go to school, so It's not good for her to intervene in this matter.
It's just that, as Huzi's mother, Sister-in-law Qin couldn't possibly not have known about what Li Mo had discovered.
After Xiaobao had been in school for more than two months, during lunch one day, Mrs. Qin and Li Mo said, "Sister, I want to ask you something."
Li Mo looked at Qin's sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me, Dashan and I will help you if we can."
Qin's sister-in-law pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind and said: "Sister, I want you to help me send Huzi to school. I want Huzi to go to school too, with Xiaobao."
When Sister-in-law Qin said this, everyone was a little surprised. Sister-in-law Qin didn't tell Huzi to go with Xiaobao when Xiaobao went to school for so long before. What do you say now
Qin's sister-in-law touched Huzi's head, "I really never thought about sending Huzi to school before. How can ordinary people's children go to school? I took Huzi alone, and I never thought about it. Although I I can make money now, but I just want to save it so that I can buy Huzi a house and marry a wife in the future." Speaking of this, Sister-in-Law Qin sighed, "But this child is envious of Xiaobao and wants to Follow Xiaobao, I can't bear to see him like this, forget it, let him go, it's good to be able to read and write."
"Mother—" Huzi called Sister-in-law Qin, with joy and anxiety in his eyes, which was moving.
Li Mo also patted Huzi's head, "Sister-in-law, it's actually right to let Huzi go to study, not to mention how promising he can be, if he can read a word, do calculations, he will be very popular as an accountant in the future Yes, you don’t have to worry about food, and you don’t have to go to the fields to dig food. If you want me to say, if you buy him a house and marry a wife, it’s better to let him learn the skills, so that you won’t worry about food and clothing if you have the skills.”
After listening to Li Mo's words, Qin's sister-in-law felt that it made sense, "It's the truth, it's the truth, I didn't understand it before, and I won't in the future, let him read it, learn some knowledge, and don't have to be a country boy to do coolies in the future .”
Li Mo smiled and said: "Okay, then I will take Huzi to the academy to find Xiaobao's wife tomorrow. Huzi is already seven years old this year, and he has learned a lot from Xiaobao before, so it will be no problem to enter the academy. "
Sister-in-law Qin hurriedly thanked her.
At this moment, neither Li Mo nor the others expected that her words would become a prophecy, that the future Huzi would write well, and would do good calculations. From now on, all the family shops would be handed over to Huzi and Xiaoshu. No matter, the business is booming, and the two of them serve as Xiaobao's solid backing, so that Xiaobao can shine in the officialdom in front of an upright official doing things for the common people without any worries.
Of course, this is something.
On the second day, when Li Mo and Song Dashan were sending Xiaobao to the academy, they took Huzi along with them. After communicating with the master, the master agreed to accept Huzi. After Li Mo gave Huzi a year of Shuxiu , Huzi officially went to school with Xiaobao.
The two children in the family both went to school, and Li Mo thought of the little tree in the village.
In fact, Xiaoshu said he was Xiaobao's younger brother, but he was actually one year older than Xiaobao. Xiaobao and Huzi both went to study, but Xiaoshu was still playing in the village. Li Mo felt that it was inappropriate. In her opinion, Xiaoshu Children must go to school, not necessarily for the sake of fame and wealth, but they should know the basic characters, so as not to be blind, so she thinks that Xiaoshu should also read some books.
Li Mo patted the head of Song Dashan who was lying on his stomach, "Dashan, do you want Meizi to bring Xiaoshu to the school with Xiaobao Huzi?"
Song Dashan said "Huh?", still staring at Li Mo's stomach non-stop.
Li Mo was helpless, this man would touch and kiss her stomach every night and then babble for a while, as if the child in his stomach could really understand what he was saying. Especially when the child in his stomach kicks his hand sometimes, he will be so happy that he can't find Bei, and he can have a silly night.
She didn't realize it before, but now she realizes how stupid this man is.
Li Mo's stomach has been around for more than seven months, and now she can't even look at her feet when she lowers her head, her stomach seems to be carrying a pot, and she has to support it when she walks, otherwise she feels like she is about to fall down at any time, Song Dashan is even more so. She was never worried about Li Mo going out alone, and they all followed her to support her, for fear that she would be in danger.
Seeing that Song Dashan was still studying her stomach, Li Mo patted him again, "Don't look, did you hear what I said?"
Song Dashan reluctantly kissed Li Mo's belly, raised his head and smiled silly at her, then stretched out his hands and gently kneaded Li Mo's swollen legs due to pregnancy, and said while pinching, "I hear you By the way, do you want Xiaoshu to come to school too?"
Li Mo nodded, "It's better for the child to be able to read and write, and he can't be blind. Anyway, Meizi and Tiezi can't afford Xiaoshu to go to school now."
Song Dashan agreed, "Learning must be done, and Xiaoshu cannot be ignorant of a single character. I guess Meizi and Tiezi have not thought of this, thinking that Xiaoshu is still young."
Li Mo shook her head, "It's not too young, Xiaoshu is six years old this year, just in time to go to school, these few years are the best time for children to be enlightened, it's not good if it's too late, so let's talk to Meizi, let's not let him in the end Let Xiaoshu learn it depends on what the husband and wife want."
Song Dashan was very sure: "Xiaoshu must be allowed to go to school, even if Meizi disagrees, I have to let them agree."
Li Mo pondered, "Xiaoshu will come to live with us if he wants to go to school, so he won't be able to see his parents every day. I don't know if Meizi, Tiezi and Xiaoshu can bear it."
Song Dashan raised his eyes, "The child's schooling is the most important thing, and there is nothing to worry about in our house. Meizi and Tiezi can come and see the child at any time. You can't just let him stay at home just because you don't want to part with him."
Li Mo thought it was the same, so she said, "Then when you go to the village to transport flowers in two days, you can bring the plums, irons, and small trees along, and then I will talk about it in detail."
Song Dashan nodded in response, and then came behind Li Mo, holding her waist with one hand, letting her lean in his arms, and gently stroking her bulging belly with the other hand.
"Don't worry about this matter, I'll do it, you just have to say it."
Li Mo didn't refute, but nodded obediently. In fact, since she was pregnant, Song Dashan has been satisfied with everything, as long as she says, she will do it immediately, and she never needs to worry about it. All she can do is move her mouth.
Seeing Li Mo agreeing, Song Dashan looked at her big belly and said: "Also, I have made you do makeup for such a long time, but now you can't do it anymore, you see your belly is so big, don't worry about it It’s unbearable to do business, and our family doesn’t rely on you to make money in the past few months.”
Before Song Dashan told Li Mo to stop doing it several times, but Li Mo felt that doing nothing all day was very boring, and it was not good for the child to do nothing, so she acted like a baby and begged Song Dashan to let her go. She did it again, but Song Dashan had no choice but to finally agree, but she was only allowed to do a few make-ups a day, and she was not allowed to do anything else. Li Mo also strictly complied.
However, it has been more than seven months now, and I gradually feel that my stomach is very heavy, and it is uncomfortable to stand and sit. It is indeed not suitable for makeup, so Li Mo did not insist this time, and gave Song Dashan a big kiss. "Okay, quit, let's talk about it after I give birth to this little guy."
Seeing that Li Mo agreed, Song Dashan happily kissed her on the lips, like praising a child, "Good wife!"
Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry.
The two planned to talk to Meizi next time they went to the village to pull flowers, but Meizi came with Xiaoshu the next day.
Song Dashan was surprised, "Meizi, why are you here?"
Meizi walked straight to the backyard with the things she bought in her hands, and asked, "I came today to talk to you and my sister-in-law. Where's my sister-in-law?"
Song Dashan reached out to take the things in Meizi's hand, "Your sister-in-law is resting in the room, she will not do makeup and beauty from now on."
Meizi agrees, "It's time to rest, and I can't do it anymore when the month is old."
In the backyard, Meizi went directly to Li Mo and Song Dashan's room.
Li Mo was also surprised to see Mei Zi coming, and asked her why she came.
Meizi sat down and said, "I'm here today to talk to you about something. The family of Mr. Huang in our village is going to sell land. I heard you said before that you want to buy land, so I'm here to ask you if you want to buy it."
Of course Li Mo is interested in buying it. If it is reliable, she will definitely buy it. Before the family didn't have much land, Meizi and Tiezi didn't even have land. In this era, without land, there is no sense of security. Although they don't know how to plant land, But there is always no harm in having more land. You can rent it out to other people to grow it.
However, for ordinary people, land is a very important thing, and they will not sell it easily. Li Mo has been paying attention, but until now, no one wants to sell the land, so it is a bit surprised to hear it suddenly.
Li Mo asked, "Why did the Huang family suddenly want to sell the land?"
Meizi replied: "The only son in his family has always loved to gamble. It seems that he has lost too much this time. Those who want debts have come to the village several times. His family has reached the point where it can't do without selling the land, so I just bought it." It's for sale."
Li Mo didn't know about Huang Laosan and had never dealt with him before, so he couldn't help looking at Song Dashan.
Song Dashan knew this Huang Laosan, "This Huang Laosan's son is really good at gambling, and he is often forced into the house by debtors. His wife can't control him, and the family says it doesn't work, but his family has never sold it before. Well, it seems that I really lost too much this time."
Meizi knew about this, "It seems that I owe someone thirty or forty taels of silver. I don't sell the land, and I can't afford it at all. Now this family is making troubles every day."
Li Mo thought about it for a while, and felt that this kind of situation can be bought, as long as the paperwork and other procedures are completed, there will be no problem.
"Then how to sell his land?"
Meizi replied: "His family wants to sell five mu of land, eight taels of silver per mu, no bargaining."
Li Mo looked at Song Dashan.
Song Dashan is very clear about the price of the land, "Generally, the land in the village is about eight taels of silver, and it is not too much for his family to ask for eight taels of silver. However, knowing that his family is in a hurry to ask for money, the villagers will probably lower the price."
Meizi nodded, "In the past two days, some people have gone to Huang Laosan's house to bargain. Many people wanted to buy it, but his house didn't sell it, saying that eight taels of silver would not be bargained."
Li Mo thought about it for a while, and said: "Dashan, let's buy it. Our family needs more land, so that we can get it when we pay the land tax. We won't lower the price, just buy it all."
Song Dashan agreed, "Okay, I'll send Meizi back this afternoon, and then I'll take care of this matter."
The matter is settled, and Li Mo tells Meizi about Xiaoshu's going to school.
Meizi didn't expect Xiaobao and Huzi to go to school. After the initial surprise, she immediately decided, "Go! Reading is a good thing. Now that we have money for our children to study, of course we should. Before, I thought the children were young. I didn't expect Xiaobao to go to school, so the little tree can't fall down."
Li Mo said in advance, "If Xiaoshu wants to go to school, he will live with me, and you won't be able to see him every day."
Meizi patted Xiaoshu's head, "Then we can't let him stay in the village every day and play like a wild child. I'm willing to see him every now and then. I'll trouble you and brother again. I have to help him." I take care of the little tree."
Li Mo waved his hand, "You are welcome, you can rest assured that Xiaoshu is here with me, you will pack up for Xiaoshu in two days and send it over, Dashan and I will take you to the academy."
Prunes should be fine.
Li Mo thought that the three boys would go to school together in the future, and felt that this scene was also quite good.
However, the three boys live in one room, and this room needs to be rebuilt with bunk beds. It seems that I have to find Uncle Zhang again.
So, taking advantage of nothing to do, Li Mo took out the pen and paper again, and began to draw the upper and lower beds. When Song Dashan returned to the village, he asked him to take it to Uncle Zhang.
After eating, Li Mo went to the front desk to look at the shop, and Song Dashan drove the donkey cart back to the village with Meizi and Xiaoshu.
When Song Dashan came back again, the family had already had dinner.
While Aunt Wu was going to cook for him, Song Dashan took out the land deed and gave it to Li Mo, "Today I bought all the five acres of land from Huang Laosan's family, but his family's land has been planted with rice and other things this year. The crops have been harvested, and his family discussed with me and asked if they could let his family harvest this year's harvest, and I agreed."
Li Mo has no objection, "Let his family take back this year's harvest, we will start planting next year, and then we will find someone to plant it for us."
Two days after this matter was completed, Meizi brought Xiaoshu and luggage over.
Li Mo took Xiaoshu to the school again, and because he was old enough and not stupid, he was accepted by the school smoothly.
Now, Song Dashan changed from sending one child to school at once, which is also very interesting.
