Chapter 30 Your father can read?
Chapter 30, Is your father literate?
Because he had to go back by bullock cart, he didn't go shopping much. Su Qingyuan took the children back and happened to catch up with the bullock cart.
The way back was more comfortable, because there were no unappetizing people from the Su family, and it was quite nice to see the scenery along the way.
Su Xiaorong refused to go home, so she said she would stay with Sister Dong Ling in the town for a few days to learn embroidery work. When she got back, she would be able to do the work. Su Lao Er heard that there was a lot of money for doing embroidery work.
He agreed to let her stay. Anyway, on the 19th of this month, Su Yinbao would be sent to school in Shide Garden.
Speaking of going to school, Su Xiaorong told Su Laoer what happened in the restaurant before.
Su Laoer didn't believe it, "The Han Shuyuan is not something ordinary people can go to. I heard that the amount of repairs worth half a year is fifty taels. It's impossible given the poverty of the Yan family."
"But Sister Dong Ling and I both heard that Yan Qiyu said he was going to Hanshu Garden."
Su Xiaorong pulled Su Dongling in. Su Dongling didn't know the situation of the Yan family, so she nodded, "Second uncle, that's what Qingyuan said at the time. It seems that he will go to school at the age of seventeen."
This seems to be true. Qingyun Villa has a regular school schedule. Hanshuyuan is the first to start school, followed by the following two courtyards, gradually falling behind by one day.
Su Qingzhu from Su Laosan's family studied in Jingmingyuan, so Su Dongling knew something about it.
Su Laoer didn't say anything, but asked Su Xiaorong to study hard and take the embroidery work back home.
When Su Laosan came back in the evening, he heard that Su Qingyuan was married, but he didn't know the news at all.
Before his eldest brother died of illness, the daughter he couldn't let go of the most was her. At that time, he was asked to help take care of her. After all, Mrs. Su had never been close to her eldest son's family all her life. How could her daughter survive in the future?
But because his daughter-in-law Zhao was a bit stingy, she was not allowed to take Su Qingyuan over to raise her, so she was left with Mrs. Su for many years.
Su Laosan felt a little ashamed of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and had no appetite for dinner.
Su Xiaorong wanted to please this uncle, so she specially sent him a meal. Su Laosan saw the junior whom he hadn't seen for a long time and chatted with Su Xiaorong.
"Xiao Rong, why did this kid Qing Yuan get married? He didn't even tell his uncle."
Then sigh.
Su Xiaorong handed over the rice bowl, "Uncle, Su Qingyuan is a bad guy in the village. He always disobeys grandma and doesn't do any work. Nama is thinking about what she will do in the future. It happens that the Yan family in the east of the village has some wealth, and they have Even though I already had a child, I wasn’t in a hurry to have a child, so I just “
Su Laosan nodded, "How is her life?"
"The life is very good. The hunter is often not at home. She goes hunting in the mountains. She is also very capable. She seems to have hunted a lot of prey. She should have a lot of money in exchange for it. I saw her buying a lot of things today. You should still be living a worry-free life, so don’t worry, uncle.”
"She had no parental guidance since she was a child. When she came to town, she didn't even know to come to her uncle's place to see her. He always missed her. As for her, she was married and lived a good life, but she didn't care about family ties at all."
Su Xiaorong was ready to speak again, and Su Laosan raised his hand, "You go out to eat, I'll take a rest."
He didn't understand Su Xiaorong's character, but he knew Zhang Guilan's virtues. Zhao and Zhang Guilan didn't deal with him at all.
In the past, we always got into quarrels over trivial matters, but the mother-in-law at home only helped Zhang Guilan regardless of right or wrong.
The reason was that Zhang Guilan was a distant niece of hers, whom she had a close relationship with, so from the very beginning, Mrs. Su was very partial to Zhang Guilan.
Not to mention the second son Su, Mrs. Su doesn't like her eldest son, let alone her younger son, and she only dotes on her second son.
It's really ironic to say that, according to folk rumors, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.
But he, the youngest, didn't feel favored at all. He was just a little better than his elder brother.
Mrs. Zhao opened the door and came in. When she saw her husband's face looking unhappy, she knew why.
"Okay, now that I'm married, what can I say? You can't take her over to live in her. The key is that you can't afford to support her. Just take some time to go back."
What else could Su Laosan say, he could only nod, thinking about when he would be less busy and take a leave of absence to go home.
After Su Qingyuan and others returned home, without waiting for Su Qingyuan to clean up, Yan Guyuan moved the pens, inks, paper and inkstones to his and Yan Qiyu's room, because there was an old table there that could be used as a desk.
Yan Qiyu went to the kitchen to pack things.
As for Yan Xinxin, she was blowing rainbow farts around Su Qingyuan like crazy.
Su Qingyuan felt so warm in her heart that she couldn't help but want to step forward and kiss her. Unexpectedly, the little girl knew how to do it, and she didn't wait for Su Qingyuan to give a hint.
He just kissed Su Qingyuan on the cheek, which melted Su Qingyuan's heart.
Turning around, he took out his favorite lollipop and said, "Take it to my brothers."
Yan Xinxin's eyes lit up when she saw the lollipop, "Mom, I love you the most."
Then he ran away. He was so young that he almost fell down because of the threshold.
"Xinxin, be careful of falling."
Yan Xinxin gave the lollipop to the two of them, and she couldn't wait to tear it open and eat it.
Su Qingyuan took a short rest and went to fetch water to water the vegetables planted in the ground. The weather was dry now, and the sun seemed to be even more scorching in this place.
Su Qingyuan's handkerchief this time was sold for fifty mall coins, which is five hundred mall coins. Seeing the number change from single digits to hundreds, Su Qingyuan could almost wake up laughing while sleeping.
Several people put on new clothes and had a sumptuous dinner. Under a dim yellow pine oil lamp on the Yan family's dining table, four heads gathered together.
Everyone does their own thing.
Yan Qiyu and Yan Guyun were reading the books they bought, and of course Su Qingyuan and Yan Xinxin were also reading.
However, the books they were reading were story books, the kind that could be understood without having to learn how to read. The original owner was illiterate, and there were many characters in this place that she did not recognize.
"Qiyu, please write a name for me." Su Qingyuan broke the warm tranquility with a smile.
Yan Qiyu didn't say anything, but turned around and entered the room. After coming here for a while, he handed Su Qingyuan a piece of white paper with the three characters Su Qingyuan written neatly on it.
The handwriting is neat and the foundation can be seen from stroke to stroke.
"Have you read before?"
"No, dad taught me a little before when he was not busy."
Su Qingyuan was even more shocked, "Is your father literate?"
Yan Qiyu nodded, then picked up the book on the table and read it again.
Su Qingyuan found that she didn't know anything about the Yan family. She didn't know anything. A hunter could actually read. Why would she become a hunter if she could read?
In this era, literate people would not be reduced to hunting.
Su Qingyuan looked at her name in a daze. It turns out that in this era, Su Qingyuan in traditional Chinese is really good-looking.
"It's so beautiful. I'll learn it when I have time. At least I need to learn how to write my own name." Su Qingyuan said to herself.
