Although it's cruel to let Huier and xiaomeizi separate, Xu Qing really wants Li Tinghui to live in a different environment and see the wider world outside.
Li Jinmei was silent for a while and said, "take it with you. Your son should follow your parents."
Although in the heart does not give up, but also has no way matter, separates the child with the parents is the most cruel.
Worried about the child's unwillingness, Xu Qing also asks hui'er for advice. After staying and living elsewhere with her parents, hui'er chooses to go with Xu Qing.
After hui'er left, xiaomeizi would be very lonely, but she didn't know if she was educated by Li Jinmei. Xiaomeizi firmly said that her younger brother still wanted to live with her parents, just like her.
Xu Qing left a snack for xiaomeizi that she couldn't finish for more than half a year. He coaxed the little girl and repeatedly promised that she would often go home to have a look.
Hui'er goes to say goodbye to her master. As a result, Li Qinshu comes to ask Xu Qing if she can take him and Qianqian with her.
Xu Qing was confused for a moment. He almost didn't mean to say that he didn't need so many guys, but Li Qinshu didn't mean that either.
Xu Qing doesn't understand what Li Qinshu, a scholar, can do when he takes his daughter-in-law to Xinghu. The land at home doesn't matter?
As a result, Li Qinshu said calmly that he wanted to open a school in Xinghu
Xu Qingdun for a while before he said: "let me say something unpleasant. To open a school, you have to have land, room and books. The premise is that the parents of the students have to have money to send their children to school. You have to meet so many conditions Where did you get your confidence? "
Li Qinshu laughs: "if you can't afford to go to school, you can't go to school?"
Xu Qing: "of course, it's a good thing to go to school, but we can't just rely on our feelings to do things. It's not enough."
Li Qinshu nodded: "don't worry, I will go to talk with the generals of Jizhou. Now DAHAO is waiting for a hundred wastes, and there are faults in all aspects. Our generation can barely support it, but how can the next generation support the imperial court and the country?"
Xu Qing is dumb. Of course, she knows the importance of training the next generation. Knowledge, crafts, and all aspects of inheritance need to be inherited by later generations. Only in this way can a country, a dynasty, or even a civilization not be broken.
Under the natural disaster, from the prosperous times to a moment to drink blood.
How long will reconstruction and recovery take, five or six years, or ten or twenty years?
Can we expect the next generation of illiterates to revive with barbarism?
Maybe this is not what Xu Qing should care about, nor what she can control, but she can't stop those who want to work hard for it, nor can she stop others' heart of saving the world and the country.
Xu Qing felt very ashamed and said that Li Qinshu would go to talk with Zhao Jian at that time and she would try her best to promote this.
Li Qinshu said that it was easy to walk. He entrusted his family's land to the villagers and agreed to pay them part of the food for their hard work. Then he began to pack up.
Xu Qing is also packing for hui'er. Xu Ying and Hao Wei bring some clothes and bedding. They have nothing else, but Li Tinghui has a lot of books to take.
In the middle of the night, Xu Qing took Duanmu Xiang to the place where everyone planted grain on the mountain and poured a ring of spring water.
It's a good time for vegetation to grow vigorously. Unfortunately, the mountain land is a bit barren, and the growth of vegetable seedlings is obviously not as good as that of Xinghu.
Xu Qing can't water the spring every day now, but if he can, it's better than nothing.
The next day, a group of people carrying a bamboo basket with a child on their back said goodbye to Li Jinmei and the patriarch, and set out for Xinghu in Jizhou.
Looking at the cave falling suddenly, Li Jinmei couldn't help wiping her tears.
"You, since you can't bear to go with me." Cao Laoliu said softly.
"You want to go?" Li Jinmei asked him.
"It doesn't matter where I am. I just think it's better for the family to stay together, separate the two places and worry about both sides."
"What about the grain in the field?"
"Then wait for the grain harvest. If ah Qing's development is good, we'll go and have a look."
Li Jinmei thought about it and broke her tears into a smile
With that, several voices came from outside the cave.
"Jinmei, I'm sorry to disturb you."
Li Jinmei went out and saw some women smiling at her with embarrassment.
"What's the matter?"
"It is..."
Several people wriggled, and finally one of them couldn't see it any more. He said frankly, "last night we all smelled the smell of meat coming out of your house, so we have the cheek to ask if there is much meat in your house. Can we sell it to us in twos and threes? We haven't eaten meat for more than half a year, and the men and children are very greedy."
Li Jinmei was stunned: "well, let me see..."
There is still a lot of meat at home. Ten jin of the 80 Jin pork has been sent out. In the past two days, my family has eaten some, but there are still more than 60 Jin left. Li Jinmei has only pickled half of the meat, and there are still a lot of fresh meat left. Even if each family sells one Jin now, it only sells 12 Jin.
But she didn't want to sell more. She had to keep such a good thing for her family.Thinking of this, Li Jinmei said: "OK, no more than one kilo per family."
A few women look happy: "that price..."
Needless to say, the price of meat also knows how expensive it is. A few people don't want to take advantage of it. If it's too expensive, buy less.
It's hard to say how suitable this Li Jinmei is. She only said to ask the patriarch first, and then hang a sign at the place where she draws water. If you think it's suitable, you can come back to buy it in the afternoon.
This said a few women have no opinion, there is a patriarch's words, it is certainly not wild.
That night, every family ate fresh pork, and a lot of pig blood, pig blood green vegetable soup, pig blood fried leek, scallion fried pig blood. Children don't like the smell of pig blood, but adults are very satisfied with it.
On the way.
Li Tinghui was very excited all the way. Although he had been paralyzed since he was a child and looked silly, he has improved a lot in the past two years. Except that he doesn't like to talk, he looks no different from ordinary children.
At noon, they went to the mountains to have a rest. Before, they didn't dare to. There were snakes everywhere, but now they can't even see an ant.
Everyone ate dry food in cold water. In the middle of the meal, Li Tinghui suddenly looked up at the sky.
"Well, did you hear anything?"
"It's like a bird call."
We looked up to the sky and branches to find, but they really found a few birds!
"That's a swallow, isn't it?"
"Look at the tail of the scissors and you'll know it's a swallow. Mom, I've finally seen a living animal!"
Everyone was so excited that when the bird came back, could the others be far away.
Along the way back to Xinghu, Xu Qing noticed the movement in the mountains and found some small animals. Insects, bees and birds are the most common, and the bigger ones are lizards.
