"Tian Tian, ​​let me tell you to tell you that although your uncle doesn't make much money from this job of selling money, he still needs to support the whole family by eating, drinking and sleeping. Yesterday, I didn't think carefully. You brothers and sisters are so young.

How can it be so easy to pay two cents to buy firewood every day? I see this..." Tiedan Niang wanted to refuse, but she was really afraid that it would be more troublesome if they couldn't come up with the money. But she really wanted to refuse, but it was a bit awkward.

I can't stand it.

Liang Shouwang was an honest man and he didn't like to say anything. But looking at Liang Tiantian's strange eyes, he hurriedly said: "It's not that we don't take care of you brothers and sisters. Don't worry, I can't write two characters of "Liang" in one stroke.

Don’t look at the fifth server. I can’t let you brothers and sisters freeze at all. From now on, I will try my best to send you firewood, and you brothers and sisters don’t say whether to buy it or not.”

Liang Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Juhua was indeed right. These two people were real people.

"Uncle, aunt, if you are worried about money, you don't have to be like this." Liang Tiantian took out a bunch of silver coins from his pocket and counted them, "There are sixty coins here. Let's order firewood for a month."

In fact, she had not prepared this money at all, but she had always kept it in the space. Seeing that the couple looked worried, she took it out to reassure them.

Liang Tiantian was embarrassed by Tiedan's father and mother.

Liang Shouwang was confused and didn't know what to say. Tiedan Niang said hurriedly: "We can't take this money. Tiantian, please put it away quickly and wait until the firewood is delivered." Finally, she believed that their brother and sister could come up with this money.

Money.

Liang Shouwang couldn't help complaining to his wife, "I told you that it's impossible for children to lie to others. You still don't believe me." Tiedan Niang's face became even more unattractive.

Liang Tiantian pretended not to understand and changed the topic. "Auntie, I saw that you have chickens at home, so I wanted to buy some eggs." Having learned from the past, she hurriedly took out the money, "This is twenty cents, auntie."

Bring me ten eggs."

Tiedan Niang originally thought that Liang Tiantian was greedy for eggs and wanted to ask for them, but she didn't expect that he also took money, and she felt a little embarrassed. But she couldn't give away the eggs for nothing.

"We can't charge so much money, Tian Tian. In this case, I will leave fifteen cents and get you ten eggs." Although an egg costs two cents at the market, not all eggs can be sold.

pricey.

Ten eggs were brought, all of which were relatively large. Liang Tiantian became more and more satisfied with the behavior of the two of them. They were neither greedy nor willing to get too much, and kept their duties strictly. Such people were already very good.

"Auntie, I'll leave first. I'll start delivering firewood the day after tomorrow. I still have enough for a few days." Before going out, she couldn't help but tell her, "Uncle, auntie, we are children after all. These are all

We, brothers and sisters, have earned the money through hard work, and we don’t want to attract anyone’s attention. It’s best if you don’t talk about us buying firewood when you go out.”

Tiedan's father and mother were stunned for a moment, then they came to their senses and said hurriedly: "Don't worry Tiantian, we know what to say." They felt more and more that it was not easy for them to have a few children. Looking at the money running around on the kang, Liang Shouwang even said

"My brother and sister probably won't be able to use the firewood that costs two cents a day. Wife, why don't we charge less."

Although Tiedan Niang wanted to make money, she felt pity when she thought about those children who were not even as old as Tiedan.

"Head of the family, you can do whatever you want." She's from the countryside, and she's from the same family, so what can she say?

What the two of them don't know is how much benefit today's kindness will bring in the future, but that's a story for another day.

Liang Tiantian returned home carrying a small basket with ten eggs in it.

The eldest brother Liang Mancang was taking his two younger brothers to learn how to read. Liang Tiantian did not bother them. Instead, he took the things and went directly to the west room. After seeing that the vegetables were growing well, Liang Tiantian casually put the vegetables into the space.

I cut another handful of leeks in the space and prepared dumplings filled with leeks and eggs.

Leek and egg dumplings are easier to make. The leeks are picked from the space and are fresh and green. There are no pesticides or pollution, and there is nothing to clean up. Liang Tiantian first took out six eggs and stirred them.

She lit the fire with the sparks in the stove pit and quietly prepared to make dumplings. As a result, she underestimated the fragrance of the eggs. Soon the fragrance spread far away, and naturally the three boys studying in the room were the first to do so.

Smell the fragrance.

"Little sister, what are you cooking for something delicious?" The first person to move was not the youngest Qiuqiu, but Liang Mandun. This guy is smart and has a good brain, but he is a little distracted and has trouble doing anything.

Meditation. Look at the state of his reading. Although he recognizes words quickly, he is slow to practice calligraphy. He is not as stable as the little guy Qiuqiu. "Ah, where did this egg come from?"

When Liang Mandun arrived in the kitchen, he started shouting, "It smells so good."

"I bought it at Tiedan's house. I'm going to make dumplings, but second brother, you have to learn more about reading." Liang Tiantian said hurriedly, fearing that he would be distracted.

Liang Mandun originally heard about making dumplings and was ready to help, but when he heard the younger sister's words, he curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll go to school." Reluctantly.

Liang Tiantian was funny, "Studying is a big thing, second brother, why are you so unhappy?" If the second brother was not good at studying, she wouldn't have bothered. The key is that Liang Mandun is very smart and has an unusually good brain. She thinks

Not reading is really a waste.

This is ancient times, and the hierarchy among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce was very strict. If a man didn't go to school, it would be really difficult for him to find a good way out.

Liang Tiantian was afraid that Liang Mantun would not pay attention, so he advised: "Second brother, even if you don't want to take the imperial examination in the future, you should study hard. It is always a good thing to read more and learn more words. Most people don't have the conditions to study. You can

Don’t waste this great opportunity.”

"I know." Liang Mandun strangely not only did not refute, but on the contrary, he was a little dazed.

Liang Tiantian took out the scrambled eggs and asked curiously: "Second brother, is there something on your mind?"

Liang Mandun was embarrassed by her look, and muttered in a low voice: "It's a little bit, and then scratched his head." He took a sneak look at the golden eggs, they were so delicious.

Liang Tiantian took a piece of it that was deliberately unmashed and gave it to him, "Here, second brother, help me taste the saltiness."

Just as Liang Mandun was about to pick it up, he thought there was an even smaller one, so he hurriedly said, "I'll give Qiuqiu a taste." He was the elder brother, and the younger sister deliberately said she would let him taste it, but in fact she was just taking care of him. He is not stupid.

"I have Qiuqiu and Big Brother's. Didn't you see that I left a few pieces here that I didn't smash?" Liang Tiantian stopped him in a hurry, "Tell me, what was the second brother thinking just now." I had an intuition that this guy had something on his mind. It was also Liang Tian.

Tian was too busy these days and neglected it. There were quite a few times when Liang Mandun was like this in a daze these days.

People in ancient times matured prematurely. Could it be that the second brother has a girl he likes?

Liang Tiantian thought mischievously.

Suddenly I felt a little funny. No matter how precocious my second brother is, he is only eight years old. What is he doing in modern times at the age of eight? He is only in elementary school. He is at an age where he is being cared for by his parents. What can he understand?

"I just thought, this study costs seven taels of silver a year, plus the money for pens, inks, paper and inkstones, it may cost ten taels of silver. I know what our family is like. It is difficult for one person to study. , let alone the two of us. I think the eldest brother is getting older, so I’d better support him to study first. I’m not that good at studying and will stop studying. I’ll help you with the work at home. It will be easier to save money when Qiuqiu grows up. I have to save money for him to study, and money for my little sister’s dowry..."

Looking at Liang Mandun, who was talking endlessly about looking forward to the future, Liang Tiantian suddenly felt... He was really blind when he said that this guy was not precocious.

Can you think further ahead?

Dowry money?

She's only seven years old, okay? Fortunately he could figure it out.

Liang Tiantian grinded his teeth, but couldn't get angry at him. He just smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, how old are we, don't you think you are thinking a little too much?"

Liang Mandun: "I..."

The door to the east room opened, and a voice that pretended to be majestic rang out displeasedly, "Yeah, brother, tell me, am I very old?" Liang Mancang stood at the door with an ugly face, and glared with embarrassment on his face. Liang Manyun.

Qiuqiu popped up his head with a very expressionless expression, "Yes, second brother, I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry to study. The eldest brother can teach me first."

Although Liang Tiantian didn't want to say it, he still said silently: "I am seven years old this year. Even if I get married, it will be at least ten years later." In this era, people get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but this matter Don't even think about it happening to her, she still wants to live for two more years.

If you get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen and your body is not fully grown, it will be very sad to have a child, okay?

Okay, she's overthinking it again.

Liang Mancang snorted, "It's not your turn to make decisions about family matters. I'm the eldest brother and the eldest son of this family. You don't want to study? Do you want to make decisions for me?"

Liang Tiantian almost laughed out loud when he looked at his serious appearance. It was so weird for a nine-year-old kid to emphasize such topics as eldest son and elder brother.

But she didn't smile. She saw everything Liang Mancang did, so she really had no choice. You know, he was only nine years old, and a nine-year-old child wouldn't be that good even in various modern advanced consulting and education institutions. He knew more than him. But Liang Mancang had already begun to bear the burden of a family without his father to educate him and his mother passed away.

Liang Tiantian didn't want Liang Manyun to be misled, so he said: "I said, we will have money to study. Doesn't the second brother believe me and the eldest brother?"

Qiuqiu also interjected: "Second brother is disobedient and not well-behaved."

Three people and six pairs of eyes were all looking at him eagerly, which made Liang Mandun almost sweat at a temperature of more than ten degrees below zero.

Liang Mandun was embarrassed by everyone staring at him. He didn't understand what the problem was. It seemed like he had done something outrageous.

"Well, I actually..."

Liang Mancang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Liang Mancang. "You will be punished to write ten big words. If you can't finish it by dinner time, you won't have to eat." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house with Qiuqiu. He didn't even think about it at all. Give him room to bargain.

Liang Mandun blinked, then blinked again.

Is this a punishment?

He saved all the paper at home and wrote ten long articles... He suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Liang Tiantian gave him a few pieces of eggs, "Here, take them to big brother and Qiuqiu. Don't eat them secretly." This sentence almost made Liang Mandu angry.

Does he look like someone who can steal food?

He stared angrily, but it was a pity that Liang Tiantian only left his back.

Liang Mandan bared his teeth, and the previous urge to cry suddenly disappeared.
