After graduating from clan studies, Li Tannian rode an ox cart to the town alone to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony.
In fact, the apprenticeship ceremony in ethnic studies is not considered valuable.
If the conditions are good, give more, and if the conditions are bad, give less. But there is an unwritten rule, that is, no matter how little, it cannot be less than half a bag of rice.
Li Tannian considered that Dabao had just started learning and there were still many things he didn't understand, so he decided to be generous and give him a bag directly.
She specifically looked at the best Japonica rice in the rice shop, and when she was about to ask about the price, she glanced at a small half bag of sprouted wheat on the side.
"The buds of this wheat are not shallow." She sighed, and thought of Erbao and Sanya's beaming smiles when they ate maltose that day. She couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful and look at it carefully, thinking about how to eat it.
Don't buy some and go back to grow sprouts for the four little ones to eat.
Seeing her plain clothes, the rice seller thought she was another poor person who came to buy old rice. Who knew that not only did she not buy old rice, but she also went to see the sprouted wheat!
The smile on Mi Mi's face froze and he said dryly: "If you buy old rice, you will get this wheat for free. If you buy three kilograms of old rice, you will get one kilogram of wheat for free."
Li Tannian glanced at the rice seller and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Put me a bag of that japonica rice."
"What?" The rice seller was a little confused. After a moment, he immediately changed his attitude.
"Okay, okay! Girl, you really know the goods, I will weigh it for you now." After saying that, she immediately packed a bag of japonica rice for her.
The price of japonica rice is more expensive. A bag of japonica rice cost her more than 100 yuan in total.
The rice seller's face broke out in laughter. He thought she couldn't even afford old rice. As a result, she not only bought japonica rice, but also bought so much. He was surprised and happy at the same time.
The service was even more attentive and attentive. Seeing Li Tannian looking at the sprouted wheat, he quickly put the wheat together in the basket on Li Tannian's back.
"Girl, this wheat must weigh more than ten kilograms. I saw that you are a good person, so I gave it to you as a repeat customer. From now on, you must take care of me to make a living."
Later, he actually sent Li Tannian away personally.
Li Tannian was a little amused. He said that in any era, there was no shortage of people to watch and order the dishes. In the blink of an eye, he walked into a study again.
She picked out some Four Treasures of the Study for Dabao. The prices of the Four Treasures of the Study in this town were relatively reasonable. There were no inkstones like those in the TV series that cost hundreds or even thousands of taels.
The shopkeeper gave her some jute paper that was popular in town. Li Tannian looked at the thin and rough paper and finally chose white rice paper.
The same goes for pens and inkstones. Most of the ones she chooses are of good quality and relatively easy to use.
Later, she specially bought a few copybooks and a thousand-character essay for Dabao, and then took the bus to the town entrance.
****
Lujia Village was not big to begin with, but in the blink of an eye, everyone in the village knew that Li Tannian was going to send Lu Dabao to study in the clan.
In the old house of the Lu family, Mrs. Yang spat hard on Xingzi!
"Hmph, she really thinks she has any abilities, so she wants to send Lu Dabao, a loser, to study? Can anyone read that book? She still thinks he is the golden child of our family?"
Jingeda and Yingeda are the nicknames of Lu Erlang's two sons, Lu Jin and Lu Yin. In the Lu family, these two children are the pride of the little Yang family!
In order to have a son, other families prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha and made a lot of tricks. She was the one who gave birth to a son, and two of them were sons.
Especially Jin Geda! He was only ten years old and was already a child student in the county. Even Lin Ziyan, the only scholar in the village, was a child student at the age of twelve!
The old Lu family hoped that their children would become successful and had long placed their hopes on Jin Qida.
"That's what mom said!" Little Yang raised the corner of her mouth and gave Lu Erlang a triumphant look. Lu Erlang understood and hurriedly went to squeeze his wife's shoulders and legs.
"I think that kid Dabao is not stupid either." Lu Dalang said something inappropriately. His wife Chen coughed dryly and tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Mrs. Yang immediately glanced at the eldest and his wife with disgust, and couldn't help but muttered: "Old men, you are the least qualified to say this! The third and second sons already have sons, so you will only have daughters!"
Mrs. Chen glared at Lu Dalang, feeling angry and not daring to confront her mother-in-law openly.
When Xiao Yang saw this, she wanted to say something sarcastic, but suddenly she thought of something again. The smile on her face dropped, and she couldn't help but said: "Mom, isn't the paper contract in Lu Dabao's hands? You said, Li Tannian's
Did the woman just send Lu Dabao to study in the clan in order to coax him into asking for the paper promise?"
As soon as Mrs. Yang heard this, she couldn't sit still.
"How dare this be true? How dare she, Li Tannian!"
Little Yang pursed her lips, glanced at her mother-in-law, and gave a faint reminder: "Nowadays, what else does she dare not do? Mother, don't forget the way she behaved when she embarrassed you in front of the old patriarch!
"
As soon as the events of that day were mentioned, Mrs. Yang felt that her face was dull.
There is no such aggrieved mother-in-law in Lujia Village. Just thinking about that day, when she was severely beaten by Li Tannian and Saburo's money was refunded, she felt itchy with hatred.
"Isn't it just about coaxing children? She, Li Tannian, can coax us, so can we!" When Mrs. Yang said this, she thought of the twelve taels of silver again. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "You are from the boss's family, haven't you already?"
Have you thought about succeeding Lu Dabao? As long as you coax the money over, I can consider it."
Lu Dalang and Chen were both happy. They had thought about succeeding Lu Dabao for a long time, but their third brother didn't agree at that time. Later, something happened to the third brother, and their mother didn't agree.
"Really, mother?" Ms. Chen was beaming with joy. When she just said she couldn't give birth to a son, her face was very solemn.
At this moment, her face was full of smiles.
She wished she could adopt him back immediately.
Little Yang couldn't bear to see her like this. She curled her lips and couldn't help but wink at her man.
What's the big deal? It's not his biological son. If you really have the ability, you can give birth to a son yourself.
However, when she thought that the twelve taels of silver would most likely come back, the expression on her face softened a lot.
"When have I lied to you? Just go and do it. As long as you finish the matter, I will consider it." Mrs. Yang nodded.
Lu Dalang and Mrs. Chen looked at each other, with smiles on their brows.
"Then, mother, let's go!" After Lu Dalang finished speaking, he took Mrs. Chen's hand and walked out.
When Xiao Yang saw it, she couldn't help but curl her lips and said: "Mom, you don't really want them to adopt Lu Dabao back, do you? You may not be able to raise such a big child well. Will you be able to honor you in the future? What's more,
A child needs to eat a lot of food a day."
When it comes to food rations, Mrs. Yang feels distressed.
"Huh, let's get the money back first!" The boss's family had better cheat. When the time comes, she won't agree to the adoption, and they won't be able to do anything about it.
After hearing this, little Yang felt satisfied and hurriedly went over to squeeze Mrs. Yang's shoulders: "Mom is still thoughtful."
On the other side, when Dalang and his wife arrived at the door of Lu's house with flying steps, Lu Dalang was actually a little worried.
"The third child is not dead yet, why would we rush to adopt his son? Wouldn't it be bad? Also, what if Dabao doesn't agree? Although Dabao is young, he is a child with ideas."
Mrs. Chen disapproved: "Dad, what are you talking about? We are doing this all for the good of the third child. If the third child passes away, Dabao will be pitiful in the future. What's more, Li Tannian beat Dabao back then.
His condition is not serious, we will only do good to him if we take him back."
When Lu Dalang heard this, he thought it was reasonable, and the couple walked straight towards the courtyard.
At this time, in the courtyard, Lu Dabao was leading his younger brothers and sisters to weave a mat. The little figure was sitting there, but his movements were particularly skillful. After a while, half a mat came out.
The older the couple saw, the more satisfied they became. The child was so industrious that he followed them and could even make mats for them and sell them for money.
