Chapter 94: A Family of Farmers and Scholars
The Xu family's restaurant, which had been open for several months and had been doing very good business, suddenly closed down.
Of course, the explanation given to the public was that they were busy with spring planting and could not spare any extra time and energy to run the restaurant.
Many people do not believe such an explanation.
After all, how much money can you make from farming? As for this restaurant, although I can't say it's a business that makes a fortune every day, Old Xu's restaurant is doing very well. I don't know how many people in Sanhe Town are jealous of it.
"This old Xu is probably a fool!"
"He must be a fool!"
"Such a good deal, but you just quit!"
"That's right, how much money can you make from this kind of land?"
"Come on, if it's a bad year, even if you have tons of money, if you can't buy food, you'll starve to death!"
"If you ask me, this old Xu is the truly smart man!"
"Just go ahead and talk!"
"Even if a disaster year comes, when will the grain store run out of rice to sell? It's just that we can't afford it!"
"Yes, you still need money!"
…
The fact that Old Xu's family closed their restaurant just to go home and farm sparked a heated debate in Sanhe Town.
However, the Xu family, which triggered this great debate, is very quiet and peaceful.
The two waiters in the restaurant were also sent back, and they were paid their wages and agreed to continue working in the restaurant after the spring planting.
The reason for this is that these two guys work very efficiently.
Secondly, Mr. Xu still has to work with his two sons on the Yuquan business, so this matter must be kept secret and no word can get out.
After all, this fish spring does not belong exclusively to his family.
Although the restaurant was closed, the money earned by the Xu family not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.
…
After another spring rain, the vigorous spring planting finally began.
The task of delivering fish to the county town was simply given to Boss Xu.
Xu Laoer followed Xu Laoye to work in the fields every day.
Just when the farm work was in full swing, Xu Laosan finally rushed back home.
At this moment, Xu Lao San was, in one word, elated. He was especially overjoyed after learning he had fathered twins, a boy and a girl. He couldn't stop smiling.
However, no matter how proud Xu Da was, he still had to do his job.
That’s right!
In the Xu family, during the busy farming season, even Xu Laosan, who had been studying all the time, had to go to the fields to work.
Don't want to work?
Mr. Xu will never show mercy when it comes to slapping someone.
In Mr. Xu's view, the Xu family is a family of farming and reading.
Farming and studying, farming and studying, if you don’t work in the fields, how can you say that you are a family of farming and studying?
Of course, the Xu family is not really short of this little money now, or they are short of the labor force of Xu San.
Mr. Xu did this to let Mr. Xu understand that in their Xu family, whether you study or farm, it's all the same.
He could be more lenient with Wang, Xu Laosan's wife, mainly because he didn't want her to waste the seeds. You're probably crazy asking a young lady who's never done hard labor to work in the fields.
Besides, Wang can make money by doing embroidery at home, isn’t that great?
When the news of Xu Laosan's return spread, many students from Anshun County came to visit him.
Then, everyone was dumbfounded.
The top scholar in Xiangyi Prefecture actually works in the fields like a peasant. This is a disgrace to a scholar!
Why would a dignified person go to the fields to work?
A group of students surrounded Mr. Xu and launched a verbal attack on him.
Failed to rush to the list, and the momentum of the following books is fierce. I am afraid that the author will lose his chrysanthemum... Forget it, I won't force it! I will still update honestly, whether it is upward or that, I didn't see it, so, just pretend it didn't happen, ┭┮﹏┭┮
