Chapter 68： Daddy is gone, mommy is gone

Time passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. After paying the tax, half of the food left at home was sold.

The grain yield in ancient times was too low. People who don’t know how to farm the bamboo orchid also know the grain yield in modern times. In ancient times, the weather was good this year. One mu of rice was only 320 catties. The yield of corn was higher. Not much more than five hundred and fifty pounds.

The Zhulan family sells half of the sales and earns more than seven taels. After deducting the seeds and other expenses, they earn more than six taels a year, which is not enough for a year's expenses. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the two sons are the holes for burning money. This is just reading, not participating in the scientific examination.

In ancient times, the probability of having a noble child from a poor family was comparable to that of a rare species, and money alone killed people.

The food of Zhulan's family was sold, and Zhou Shuren also set off for the south. Zhulan knew that she could not be short of money when she went out, so she brought Zhou Shuren fifty taels of silver, and even dug up the original jewelry that had never been touched. .

There are really a lot of jewelry. Yuanshen has a good father who taught him his experience. Don't take any jewelry with identity. Yuanshen chose jade bracelets and pearl jewelry, but he didn't dare to touch jade pendants.

Bamboo orchid dug up and counted, and there were six pairs of jade bracelets, two pearl necklaces, a dozen pearls inlaid with pearls, and other pieces of jewelry.

Pearls in ancient times were expensive. Those who could enter a wealthy family were of top quality in terms of size and roundness. The original jewelry was worth a lot of silver.

Zhulan brought Zhou Shuren a pair of jade bracelets of good quality, and a pearl necklace. No matter whether she made any money or not, she paid for it when she came back. The money at home left the two of them with little money left. I'm panicking when I don't have any money!

Zhou Shuren's first day away from home, Zhu Lan was so excited that she couldn't do anything, and the two who had been tied together for a long time, without one Zhu Lan, felt uneasy.

The next day, I started to think wildly. I had nightmares at night. I dreamed that Zhou Shuren died, and I was alone in ancient times. I regret not going with him.

Several sons of the Zhou family were worried. No matter how their mother left their father, they were less angry. The sons were so frightened that they were afraid that when their father came back, their mother would be gone.

On the third day, Zhulan felt that it was time to find something for herself. After dinner, she explained the task. "The courtyard wall in the old family is too short. You and the second child can find a few people to cut the courtyard wall again, at least two meters."

Boss Zhou exhaled. It's fine if Mother has something to do. He hasn't slept well these past few days, "Good mother."

Zhulan looked at Rong Chuan, who had no sense of existence, her eldest grandson who wanted to play, she was not good at classical writing, she was strong in mathematics, there were math problems in scientific examinations, and life was inseparable from counting, "From now on, the whole family will learn math. ."

Li Shi was frightened, she instantly remembered her husband's memory of teaching literacy, and her whole body trembled, "Mother, I'll be a grandma in a few years, so I don't need to learn."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

The ancient times, ah, after ten years, she is forty-six years old, isn't she going to be a great grandmother?

Zhao shi's eyes are shining, the time has come to get close to her mother, and she wishes her sister-in-law didn't study, "Mother, I must study hard."

Li's eyes widened, the second daughter-in-law was scheming and cruel, "Mother, I also learn."

Zhulan looked at the children, "How about you?"

Rong Chuan is eager to learn. He has the opportunity to study. Even when he is sick, he is still studying hard. He knows that he is starting late. "Auntie, I also learn."

That's right, Zhang Rongchuan called Auntie.

In the past, in the village, the two families were not related, and they were not sorted by the same clan. People were called in chaos according to their age, and the same clan was different. The name could directly tell the seniority, and the address would not be chaotic at all.

Rong Chuan moved in, and he was about the same age as the old son. The Zhulan couple had other ideas, so they corrected the name.

Of course, there are also couples who can't stand their ten-year-old children calling their grandparents. In modern times, there are many people who get married in their late thirties. In order to avoid being hurt, Zhou Shuren decided to take the Xiucai exam next year. , Xiucai lady, you don't have to worry about it in the future.
