Chapter 240: It’s my eldest brother who can’t help you!

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her granddaughter and was afraid that she would catch a cold. Just as she was about to get up, Jiaren and Jiayi had already walked over carrying cotton mats.

One of the brothers hugged their sister, and the other put the cushion on them. They cooperated very well.

Jiayin smiled, pouted, and gave each of her two brothers a big kiss!

Jiaren Jiayi also smiled and kissed his sister on the forehead, "Be careful and don't fall. My brothers will come and play with you after eating."

Without waiting for Jiayin to agree, Jia Anjiaxi had run over holding a large bowl, sitting on the left and right on the ground, guarding her sister.

“Brother, you go to eat, and we’ll watch over my sister.”

Jiaan gave his sister a chicken leg and said, "Sister, eat it!"

Jiayin accepted it with a smile and nibbled every bite.

The village chief and others looked at it and laughed.

“Our family’s name, Fu Niu, is really correct. With these brothers here, she is truly the most blessed!”

“Yes, it’s good to have one or two older brothers. Maybe we’ll quarrel over a piece of snacks. Look at our Fu Niu, we have five older brothers, all of them dote on her like a treasure.”

Jiaren and Jiayi sat down again. After hearing this, they said, "Fu Niu is also good to us."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but did not take it seriously. They turned to talk about another matter, "The academy is really a good place. Not to mention Jiaren, if you see a dog left in the daytime, this kid has a lot of potential."

“Yes, he is generous in his words and deeds, and his manners are also decent.”

“Everyday I hear the sound of reading, and there are many scholars coming and going. No matter how stupid the child is, he has become enlightened.”

"The grain harvest is about to begin. Once the autumn harvest is over, our village will quickly build a school. The children will study for two or three years. When they have a foundation, they will be sent to academies."

"That's it. Life in the village is getting better and better. In the future, it's not just about working hard. Only by studying more and earning more can we protect our family business."

Everyone was eating and talking. When the wine jar was empty and the moon was in the sky, the dining table was removed and tea, snacks and fruits were brought up.

The boys in the village probably knew that there was delicious food here, so they came to find a place to settle down and play happily.

Sure enough, each of them got a piece of fruit, shared a few snacks, and were so happy that they were jumping up and down.

Jiayin sat in her mother's arms, smelling the light smoke from her mother's body, listening to everyone talking and laughing, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly.

I went to Luo'an to open a shop before, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so Li Laosan and his family didn't take a lot of luggage there.

Now that the land is being harvested, the weather is about to get colder. This time, they plan to bring more luggage.

Even Jiaren had to bring quilted clothes, a hot water bottle and a thick quilt.

Mrs. Li was so busy that she didn't care about the good news, so she laid a mat in front of the door, brought some snacks and let her play by herself for a while.

Jiayin was not a child, so she would not cause trouble to the family. She was in a daze while nibbling snacks, wandering around the space with her mind, planning to find something good for her brother.

But apart from the fruit, there seems to be nothing else.

There are a lot of things in the small courtyard, but most of them are electrical appliances and cannot be used at all.

Mr. Li couldn't rest easily, so her granddaughter took her hand and led her into the warehouse, where she got a few more baskets of apples, pears and dates.

She happily hugged her granddaughter and kissed her several times, "Grandma was worried about what to prepare for the gentleman at the academy, and you solved a big problem for grandma!"

Perhaps the academy also knew that the collection of gifts was very high, so there was an extra rule that gentlemen were not required to receive gifts.

In this way, students no longer have to spend money.

However, during the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, when students return home, they must bring some specialties to their husbands to show their care and respect.

Ordinary students only need one teacher, but Jiaren has to prepare four copies. In addition to the teacher, there are also the dean and two gentlemen who teach him swordsmanship and flute. Especially the two gentlemen who teach swordsmanship and flute. Because he has missed a lot of homework, they have been giving him some extra time recently.

Mrs. Li called her eldest grandson to come forward. Jiaren was very happy when he came in and saw these fruits.

The grandfather and grandson found four new baskets. Each basket was filled with more than twenty apples and pears, plus a pack of red dates.

Jiayin hugged a fruit and sat on the side, chewing it until the juice dripped. Jiaren took a handkerchief and wiped it on her.

While I was busy, Wang Yuanwai suddenly came.

The Li family were all surprised. After all, he had just come the day before yesterday, and acupuncture should be scheduled for tomorrow.

Everyone was sitting under the eaves of the corridor talking. Mrs. Li saw that Mr. Wang's eyes were a little swollen and wondered if he was feeling uncomfortable in some way.

Wang Yuanwai explained: "I was happy last night and drank too much."

After saying that, he took out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and two travel notes.

“I passed by a calligraphy and painting shop earlier and saw a good one, so I bought it. Give it to Jiaren for use. Reading is important, but reading more travel notes can also broaden your horizons.”

Jiaren looked at his grandma and when he saw her nodding, he happily accepted it and saluted and thanked him.

Wang Yuan waved his hand and asked, "Is there an enlightenment class at Luo'an Academy? My eldest son is eight years old. He has been taught by his teacher at home for three years and is looking for an academy to study."

Jiaren replied: "There are also young students studying in the academy, but they all live outside. After all, they are too young and have to be taken care of by others for food, clothing and housing."

Wang Yuanwai nodded, "So, if you want to send your children to study, you have to rent a yard in a small town."

Orange Mrs. Li wanted to say that the third son’s family would open a shop there and the children could live there.

But now that her eldest son has not recovered his memory, it is always inappropriate to say this, so she endures it.

Going to the academy to study is not a simple matter. Maybe the eldest son Zhang Luo has recovered and his memory has recovered.

At that time, it would be natural for the third family to take care of his nephew's food and accommodation, and Jiaren to take care of his younger brother's studies in the academy.

Li Laoer was originally in the valley and wanted to see off his son and his younger brother's family, so he came back to take a look.

He didn't expect that his eldest brother would also come. He was even more happy to see the four treasures of the study that his eldest brother gave to his son.

After chatting for a long time, Aunt Wu sent the dog over and everyone was about to set off.

This time Li Laosi wanted to drive the family's mule cart to see off people, which was not as fast as a horse-drawn carriage. Even if he set off at this time, it would be dark by the time he arrived in Luo'an.

Jiayin hugged Zhao Yuru's neck, kissed her face, and ran to hug her uncle and brothers. She told them with a sweet voice, "Third uncle, aunt, eldest brother and second brother, you must come back often to take care of Fu Niu." delicious!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing and responded repeatedly, "Okay, we will come back as soon as we have free time. Bring candy to Fu Niu!"

Suddenly, the mule cart had gone far, and Wang Yuanwai wanted to say goodbye. Li Laoer returned to the valley, and the two of them walked together for a while.

Mr. Wang is usually very talkative, but today he was surprisingly silent. Li Laoer felt strange, coughed twice, and asked: "Business has been very busy recently? What difficulties have you encountered?"

Wang Yuanwai shook his head, looked for a shade, and led Li Laoer to sit down.

Wang Fu took the horse and walked away consciously, watching over it.

Li Laoer was even more confused when he saw this posture. He wanted to ask again, but Wang Yuanwai had already spoken, "Miwazi, you have worked hard these years, and I can't help you."

“Ah, it’s not hard work!” Li Laoer subconsciously responded, but then he remembered something and turned his head suddenly, looking at Wang Yuanwai with red eyes.

Mivazi is his nickname. Since his eldest brother disappeared, he has to shoulder the responsibility of the eldest brother and protect his mother and younger brothers. No one has ever used this nickname again.

He wanted to ask, but his mouth moved, but no sound came out, and tears flowed out like a fountain.
