Chapter 517： easy

Pei Xiu went back to the house and gave him a bag of silver, "This is donated to the school in the village to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the children. Give it to the village chief, and let the elders of the clan be witnesses."

Zhou Cheng nodded to show his understanding.

The school's pen, ink, paper and inkstone can only be used for teaching in the school, and students need to buy their own practice when they go home.

This is also the welfare of their village school.

Most of the children in their village can now know a few words. After the new magistrate took office, he heard about it, and they all came to their village on purpose.

Seeing Pei Xiu's actions, the old lady pouted and said nothing.

I just read one sentence in my heart, prodigal women!

But she didn't dare to say it, after all, she was still waiting for her to give her money.

In the past few years, the old lady has lived a decent life, and she has become more and more embarrassed.

Out of sight, the old lady went to the backyard and unlocked the door of the other room.

Let Sister-in-law Zhou, Sister-in-law Tuesday and others move things into this house first, and then she will look at her mood afterwards. She will give things to anyone who pleases her with filial piety.

In the past two years, the old lady's life has been so comfortable, and the children and grandchildren have flattered her and the old man.

Pei Xiu also knew that the old lady was unhappy. After Zhou Cheng went out, she went to the backyard to pull the old lady back to her house, and handed her the package of silver that she had prepared for the old lady. She kept thinking about it.

"Mother, this is for you. You have taken it away, so don't be coaxed. Only when you have rich children and grandchildren will they listen to you and try to please you. My husband and I are not by your side. , I have no choice but to give you money. You must first make yourself feel good and comfortable. "

What Pei Xiu said was completely from the bottom of his heart!

Only rich old ladies and grandchildren will flatter.

The old lady took it with a smile on her face, "I need you to say that, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten of rice. When people get old, they will be rejected by others. Although my son does not dare to be unfilial, he still has Daughter-in-law and grandson, don't worry about it."

"Fortunately, you have paid a lot of filial piety in recent years. They are all staring at those things, racking their brains to please me."

"Tell me, don't you like to listen to it, it's not easy for the third child to make money, your hands can't be too loose, those servants have to beat them all the time, or they can all get on their noses. You have to hold them when you should hold them. on."

Pei Xiu replied with a smile, "Hey, if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, I have always listened to my mother's teachings. I will not let go of others, but you are not my mother-in-law, and you should be filial to you with money. ."

"As for the money donated to the village school, it's also to buy the husband's reputation. If one person is a **** and a dog ascends to heaven, and the husband is successful, he has to give back to the village, so we shouldn't let people poke the spine and say that we have forgotten our roots. This school is also It's a good thing, it can also make you and your father's reputation in the village to a higher level."

Although he had already said it in the letter, Pei Xiu was worried that the old lady would not be able to turn this corner, so he deliberately told her again.

The old lady nodded indifferently, and didn't say anything. Anyway, she didn't lose her share.

She won't be able to eat for a few more years, so she can live a long life if she doesn't mind her own business. Young people can let them toss with them. When she sees the old man who is sick in bed, she also looks away, and she doesn't talk much so as not to be annoying.

After getting the old lady, Pei Xiu wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but the noise of moving things in the backyard made her unable to close her eyes, so she should get up and take a look outside.

There are still some vegetables planted on both sides of the bluestone path in the backyard. It looks very pleasing. They are all green and green, and they can be picked at any time.

The piles of rabbits left behind when she left on both sides are gone, I don't know if they have all been sold.

At this time, Zhou Kang's daughter-in-law came up to her and took out three pieces of money from her sleeve.

Pei Xiu looked at her behavior suspiciously.

"Third aunt, the three hundred money is to be paid back to you. I lent you money to see a doctor a few years ago, but you also persuaded me to see a doctor and take medicine seriously, so that I can cure the disease and give birth to a child. At home, I don't have a chance to pay you back, you can take it, you can borrow it and pay it back."

It turned out to be to pay her back. She had long forgotten about it, and she couldn't remember how much she lent her at the time.

Just as he was about to say no, Zhou Kang's wife put the money in her hand and ran away.

She had no choice but to give up and collect the money first. In the past few years, Zhou Kang guarded the city gate to eat official meals, and they should have saved a lot of money.

After everyone was moving in and out for a while, they lined up everything and went to the main room with her and the old lady.

Zhou Cheng also came back.

Pei Xiu hurriedly asked him, "Have the guards been arranged?"

"It's arranged properly. I will rent a house from someone who has a vacant house in the village. Five people will live in a house, fifty cents a day, including two meals. This will save us asking people to come back to cook. There are a dozen tables for one cooking, which is too much toss. already."

"Well, that's good. It's easy to spread out to each family, and it saves trouble. People who have a lot of houses and want to make money should work harder."

Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile, "Fifty pennies a day is a lot. Zhuang households grow their own vegetables and they are worthless, so they just pay for rice, flour, grain and oil. If you live for a month, you can probably earn nearly a tael of silver."

Pei Xiu smiled, "I can't lose the villagers, right? It's getting late. I'll let the people cook first. Let's all have dinner here today, and it's lively and lively."

"Third brothers and sisters, you're welcome. We should take care of you when you come back. There are chickens, ducks, and rabbits at home. I'll let your eldest brother go home to kill you. Don't worry about it as soon as you come back."

Brother Zhou responded immediately, "Hey, okay, I'll go home and kill."

"and many more…"

"What are you waiting for~ The rabbits in the family are all left by the third siblings before they left. My parents couldn't clean them up, so they moved to our side. It's good to kill a few rabbits and eat them together. You are tired enough from tossing along the way, let us fix it tonight, we also have a lot of vegetables in our backyard."

"That's right, we all have daughters-in-law at home. There are many people, and they are busy with work quickly." Sister-in-law on Tuesday also hurriedly said.

Today, the juniors in the family have benefited. In the future, they will rely on Pei Xiu in many places. Now is the time for them to show their performance.

Pei Xiu smiled and didn't refuse. In fact, she couldn't change any ingredients at the moment. She used to eat dry food along the way, and she only had a good meal when she encountered a town.

If she wanted to clean up a few tables, she would send someone to the village to buy some chickens, ducks, geese, vegetables, fruits and vegetables.

"Since it's just to wash the dust, then I won't refuse. Brother, just kill the ingredients and bring the ingredients here to rectify. Dad can eat a few bites, and mother can save walking around. The servants I brought back also If we can work together, we will be able to fix things quickly.”

"Okay, head of the family, go and kill it quickly and make it. I'm here to talk to my younger brother and sister."

Brother Zhou replied with a silly smile, "Okay."
