Six-Year-Old Baojiao Is Busy in Building a Kingdom

Chapter 26: School fees

Even though he earned two taels of silver, the cost of private school had risen to four taels of silver this year, which was still slightly worse. She originally wanted to copy more to get enough tuition to make it easier for her parents, but she didn't want her little sister to know the truth. .

Wouldn't it be frustrating to tell her parents that she dropped out of college.

Qiu Sheng's heart was pounding, he clenched his fists and thought about how to find a suitable reason, "Mother, I, I'm afraid you're worried, and his master isn't here at the moment...it won't happen too late after school starts."

Absolutely not, his father and mother came to the door like this, and he could not hide his lies.

Qiusheng sweated, Jiaojiao took out a cotton handkerchief from her small pocket, extended her small hand and handed it to the eldest brother, and said attentively: "Sister is tired of running, quickly wash your sweat."

Qiu Sheng was in chaos. Hearing this, he lifted his sleeve and wiped it carelessly, then coaxed: "Sister has run for a day and smelled dirty, Jiaojiao wiped the handkerchief for myself."

This was also the first time Liu Zhihua had seen his son like this. He thought he was worried and scared, so he smiled and comforted him in a low voice: "Qiu Sheng, don't worry, the potion sold for more than four burrows.silver today, the, plus your two silver burrows, that should be enough for your school fees."

Qiu Sheng went from worried to shocked, looked at Mother in disbelief, and stammered, "Mother I mean, the medicinal ingredients my sister and the others found can not only be sold for money, but also for money, but also sold for over four taels of silver? "

Because on the road, Qiu Sheng covered his mouth at the last sentence and said it very quietly.

Liu Zhihua nodded solemnly, patted his son's skinny shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "That's all thanks to Jiaojiao's knowledge of herbs. Our family life will definitely get better and better. Qiusheng didn't need to worry about school fees, just go to school with a calm mind."

Qiu Sheng was relieved, and after much deliberation, he still told the truth, pursed his lips and said, "Mother, the school fees go up by two taels, and the school fees should be paid by four taels."

After calming down and thinking for the past few days, Qiu Sheng felt like he had to go to school. He was already weak and could not help him do physical work at home. In addition, his parents had high expectations for his studies.

Now the way out is to study hard, and in the future he will work hard to get fame and fame so that his parents, his sisters can live a good life.

Before his parents knew the truth, he had to go to the academy, and he could return to the academy after paying the tuition.

Hearing about Siliang, Liu Zhihua and Wang Zhuangzhi frowned at the same time.

School costs are also rising too fast. Last year it cost two taels of silver, but this year it doubled to four taels. If not for Jiaojiao and the others looking for herbs for sale, it was very uncertain if they could reimburse the school fees this year.

"Now that everything is done, let's take four or four. Fortunately, our family has a lucky star Jiaojiao. In the future, we can make a living by selling some herbs, and life will be better." Wang Zhuangzhi said with a smile.

After she finished speaking, she looked at her lover with an affectionate face, wiped it clean and took her daughter's fat little hand to touch, feeling rare as well as happy.

Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and laughed, "Dad~"

“Hey, Jiaojiao's father is very kind, come and hug him.”

Wang Zhuangzhi patted the ground on his body, cradled his daughter carefully, and hugged her very seriously. Her daughter was so tender that her heart almost melted.

Liu Zhihua looked at his father and daughter and smiled with the corner of his mouth raised, and looked at the eldest son's serious face. He comforted her and said, "This family has enough money. If you don't want your parents to leave, then you can pay for it yourself."

Although he felt sorry for the four taels of silver, but Qiusheng had a good academic record, Liu Zhihua quickly took out two taels from his wallet, plus the two taels of silver that Qiusheng had just given him, a total of four taels and handed them over to his son.

Qiusheng accepted the money, and his family was poor. If other families in the village did not allow him to go to school, his parents always paid him to go to school.

Thinking of his parents' hard work all along, Qiu Sheng clenched his hands and his eyes became even more resolute. He decided to be mentioned in the golden list to shine a light on the doorway, so that his parents, his sisters all had a good home, so that family devotion to him would not be in vain.

"Qiusheng, I know that you are good at reading and writing, but you still need to learn more when you enter the academy. Don't copy these books anymore. Since you are going to enter the academy, you must study with all your heart." If you are disturbed, you will be delayed.

But in order for her mother not to worry, she nodded obediently: "Mother, I will."

Xiao Libaba looked at her father, mother, elder brother and the others, and was unable to finish her conversation. He pursed his lips and touched his stomach, then raised his head and said loudly, "Father and Mother, Xiao Li is very hungry."

Hearing this, Jiaojiao mimicked rubbing her stomach, drinking noodle soup in the morning, and she was also a little hungry.

Wang Zhuangzhi saw her baby rubbing her stomach as well, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "OK, it's late today, everyone go to lunch first, and we'll talk when we're full."

"The dumpling shop I just passed smells good, let's eat dumplings today..."

…

A family of six went to a dumpling shop and ate hot meat dumplings. They bought a large bag of meat loaf and ate it happily.

After eating,

The family went to the grain store again, first buying some necessary spices, then bought two catties of pork and a little refined flour and polished rice, which cost one tael of silver.

Passing through the wine shop, looking at the head of the restaurant helplessly, Liu Zhihua took out fifty coins and bought two taels of cheap shochu.

Wang Zhuangzhi did not like it either, he was very happy to hold the wine gourd.

While passing through the clothing store, Liu Zhihua fumbled a few strands of copper coins in his wallet. Now that Qiusheng had collected enough school fees, the remaining 900 cash would be enough to buy Erya ordinary clothes.

Erya Kanniang looked at the clothing store, her dark face smiling and said indifferently: "Mother, I think the clothes in this place are too ordinary, too, why don't you save some money and go to a bigger place to buy a new model when the time comes."

Now he is no longer greedy for the new clothes of others, and finally get the wealth, so he must save to subsidize the family.

Liu Zhihua stroked the braid of his daughter's shofar. Erya is very smart and strong. He often treated his daughter as an adult, and as time went on, he did not care much compared to Xiaoli Jiaojiao. Looking at her gray and old clothes, she felt a little guilty and depressed. Huh He sighed and said with a smile: "Now that your sister's tuition has been collected, and there is still money left, buy me a new shirt for Erya today."

Saying that, Liu Zhihua brought her daughter to the clothing store.

Lots of people come and go from the clothing store, and most of them are women. Wang Zhuangzhi waited at the door with Jiaojiao and his two sons.

Qiu Sheng pretended not to be able to wait any longer. After informing his father, he rushed to the private school, planning to ask his wife to pay for the private school fees.

Jiaojiao lay quietly on his father's shoulder and waited, looking at the merchant on the street from time to time, with a hint of curiosity about everything.

Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the old man across the street. He carried a grass tree with bunches of red fruit on it. The fruit is coated in a light yellow syrup, which is very interesting in the sun.

"I want one."

A little boy held two copper coins and handed them to the old man. The old man chose a lot for him. The boy was so excited that he picked up his haw sweets and jumped away.

Jiaojiao moved his mouth, looked at his black eyes without blinking, and licked his mouth. Well, that red fruit must be delicious.

Meng Jun was drinking tea at the tea shop, and he casually turned to the street, and saw the white glutinous girl staring at the haw sweets across. Maybe he was too handsome, but at first glance he recognized him.
