"Third brother!"
"What's the matter?"
"Dad asked me to come and get some silver. You know, we can't start spring farming yet. This year is going to be a disaster year, so we should prepare more food.
"Brother, the thieves have all run away, and the old house is safe. How about I let you keep the silver? It's troublesome to come here every few days to get the silver and ask for fingerprints."
My daughter said that we have to put our fingerprints on how much we have taken and how much is left. The whole family couldn't trust anyone in the old house. What should they do when their money is all gone and they say they haven’t spent a penny? Should I die with them or accept the defeat myself?
"No, no, no, Third Brother, let's keep it with you. Really, we feel more at ease with you."
Well, there is nothing you can do if you disagree with him.
"Come in."
This time the receipt was written by Zhao Dashu himself. Zhao Dayong looked at him in disbelief, "Third brother, when did you learn to write?"
I look at it, but I don't understand it, but it seems to be written quite well.
"Before you guys know, brother, please put your fingerprints on it." Zhao Dashu was so proud. He felt that in the future, his brother would come to get the money whenever he had nothing to do, and he wouldn't seem so annoying anymore.
Zhao Dayong walked out of the hospital, still confused. The third child can read and write, and he can also write receipts. How long have you been separated? Of the three brothers, he is the only one who can't read a single word.
Zhao Dayong felt very unhappy. How could he, who had been strong all his life, allow himself to be inferior to Zhao Dashu and Zhao Dayong?
"Did the third brother invite a teacher to his house?" However, every time he went there, he never saw any outsiders.
Could it be that he didn’t come out of the room?
If there is a master, can his three sons...
Teaching one is teaching, and teaching several is also teaching. The teacher's salary is the same, so why waste it.
"Dad, when my uncle saw that you could write, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets."
"Of course not. Now, he is the only illiterate person in our Zhao family. With your uncle's personality, how can he be comfortable?"
"It's definitely not going to be comfortable. Dad, if you can pass the exam and become a student, everyone in the old house will be shocked. The old man will definitely regret that he was blind and chose the wrong person."
"Dad, work hard and try to pass the exam to become a Tongsheng student, so that you can be proud of him."
When the girl sees an immortal in the future, she can brag to him that her father is a scholar. He finally had face in front of the immortal.
"You can do it, I have confidence in you!" All students are praised. If you want the horse to run, it has to eat grass first.
"Boss, what's the matter? Are you not happy with the money given by the third brother?"
After seeing Zhao Dayong coming home, Li became distracted and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"That's not the case. I went to get the money today. The note was written by the third brother."
Li touched Zhao Dayong's head and found that he didn't have a fever, so why did he have hysteria?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Lao San is just like us, we are all blind. The book is placed in front of it, it recognizes us, but we don't recognize it."
"No, I saw it with my own eyes. The third brother can really write. Although his handwriting is not as neat as that of the eldest brother, it has only been a short time since the separation and he can even write a receipt. If he continues to study for a few more years, wouldn't he..." Zhao Dayong's heart was stirred. In this way, he would be the most useless and the worst one among the brothers.
Although the eldest brother had no money, he had a decent job and his children were all literate, unlike him.
"Master, even if my third brother can read, so what? He has no son, but the family is still extinct. Go again tomorrow and bring your son along."
"Tomorrow I have to go buy food."
Li was worried again. "Why is it that the weather is never warm? And my eldest brother and his family, although they eat separately from us, the money is spent by the old couple.
They rely on us for their retirement, and we provide financial support to eldest brother. What do you think of this? "It's not okay not to subsidize them. We can't really let them starve to death.
No quarrel or noise could be tolerated. Li was almost suffocating herself.
"My third brother can write receipts, and my eldest brother can write IOUs. I'll go find them at night and tell my parents that we can either get the same amount of money as my eldest brother. Or, I'll ask my eldest brother to write an IOU for the same amount of money. I'll take care of the IOUs."
Fortunately, all the money belongs to the third brother, and he knows exactly how much he should take.
"Your idea is that if he doesn't pay it back, you can use the land in his village as collateral."
Zhao Dayong nodded in agreement, indicating that this was what he meant. If you don’t farm, what’s the point of having land?
"Mother, please take some time to tell my parents-in-law to store more food. I think this year is very bad. Even next year, it is hard to say whether it can be relieved. I am afraid that the price of food will rise again."
"Got it. How much silver did you take today? How much more do we need to buy?"
"Ten taels of silver." Half of the money from selling the house was gone.
"so much?"
"We have a large family, so we need to buy enough for the second half of next year."
"When the weather warms up, we will go to the fields to plant crops and then go to the mountains to dig more wild vegetables."
Pick more wild vegetables and mushrooms and dry them to save some food. There are also vegetables that need to be planted quickly.
"Old man, old man!"
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Before Zhao Dayong looked for them, Old Sun came to their door.
"Go to Maihua's house right away and tell her to buy more food. Your father is afraid that the price of food will continue to rise."
"Zhengtu, I also have something to tell Dad. I'll go find him first."
He didn't want to go to Maihua's house at all. A few days ago, Tu Xin went to talk to her about hoarding food, and she scolded him severely. Some say that he is just thinking too much now, some say that he has become stupid from farming, and some say that as long as you have money, there is no food that you cannot buy.
In that case, she'd better just hold on to her money. Whoever wants to go to their house can go, but he won’t go anymore.
How despicable, sticking your face out again and again and getting slapped in the face.
Because of asking Zhao Dayu to write a promissory note, there was another big commotion in the Zhao family that night.
Here, the village chief went to the county town early in the morning, and came back to Zhao Dashu's house.
"Big tree, big tree!"
"What made the village chief so panicked?"
“The price of food in the county has risen again!”
"Didn't the price just go up a few days ago? Why did it go up again? How much did it go up?"
"Three days later, there is no snow in the entire city. Big trees, if the snow continues to rise, what shall we do? We won't be able to afford food!"
