After leaving with Ning Dalang, Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, but only said that Song would take over the embroidery, and said nothing about cooperation, but this was enough to surprise Ning Dalang. In this short period of time, her sister I just helped my mother earn ninety-six cents, and even took on a new, more profitable job?

Ning Dalang let Xiaoxiao take the copper coins given by Shopkeeper Liu. This was the first time she had personally handled so many copper coins since time travel. When she thought about the deposit of ten taels of silver that Shopkeeper Liu had just given lying in the space, she suddenly became excited. No, she wanted to run when she went back to the sour bamboo shoot stall, but not long after walking, she suddenly stopped and pulled Ning Dalang to stop.

Next to them was a bookstore, which was where Ning Dalang's eyes couldn't help but linger when he first arrived.

The pens, inks, paper and inkstones here are all things he yearns for, but they are also things he cannot imagine.

Xiaoxiao suddenly asked him: "Brother, do you want to study?"

Ning Dalang was silent for a moment, then smiled gently and touched her head as usual: "The eldest brother doesn't study, so the eldest brother and the second brother will dig bamboo shoots together to make money to buy rice seeds, so that my sister will not be hungry next year."

Such a simple sentence almost made Xiaoxiao's eyes turn red.

It's funny to say that with the conditions of Lao Ning's family, the family would send people to school.

Old man Ning spent his whole life digging in the fields and could not read a word, but this did not prevent him from dreaming of studying. If he could not do it himself, he would place his hope on his son. However, studying was too expensive, and the old Ning family did not have the money to study. condition.

It wasn't until Ning Anwen, the old son of Ning and Mrs. Ning, was eleven years old that the family finally seemed to have saved enough money and immediately sent him to school. They also specifically asked Ning Dalang, who was just over seven years old at the time, to give him Become a bookboy by carrying a bookcase.

Ning Dalang has been this bookboy for five years. During this period, Uncle Ning really regarded himself as a young master and had to let his nephew who was only five years younger than him do everything. But Ning Dalang never complained, just because in these five years, he I can always find opportunities to listen to classes with my uncle under the window sill of the school.

During those five years, he memorized the Three-Character Classic, memorized the Thousand-Character Classic, understood the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, and also took advantage of the opportunity of helping his uncle copy books and homework to recognize the characters and match the memorized content with the text. A total of seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

But just when he was enjoying the joy of studying, Uncle Ning suddenly didn't want him to be a book boy, so he was arranged by Old Man Ning and Mrs. Ning to work in the fields with his father Ning Fengnian, who worked early in the morning and worked till late in the day. He couldn't refuse. During the days and nights when he couldn't go to the academy, he memorized the contents he had learned by heart.

Unable to write, he sharpened a wooden stick and made gestures on the ground. Unable to go to school, he stayed at the window sill outside Uncle Ning's house at night, eavesdropping on his endorsement.

A year later, the teacher at the school was old and no longer had the energy to teach. They could not afford to go to the county school, so Uncle Ning went home to study.

Do you want to study? He could only dream about it, but he couldn't even imagine the situation at home. So at this moment, he could only try to show his indifference, smile and take his sister to find his second brother.

Ningjiro has been waiting at the stall for a long time. It was promised for half an hour, but why did it last more than an hour? He must talk to his eldest brother and sister later. He completed the task early, and in order to prevent them from worrying about not finding him, he kept waiting where he was!

When Xiaoxiao and her eldest brother arrived, they found that the stall had been closed. Ning Erlang, who had been waiting to show off for a long time, couldn't wait to shake his waistband and said: "At noon, the business of the noodle stall uncle is very good, and there are many customers who come to eat noodles. I loved our sour bamboo shoots and quickly bought half a jar."

Xiaoxiao glanced at the empty jar with only one left, and asked as Ning Erlang wished: "What about the remaining half of the jar?"

Ning Erlang originally wanted to sell it off, but he couldn't help it at all: "Later, a wealthy family came to buy it. They bought all the jars and bamboo shoots, and gave them a total of one hundred Wen. They also said that if they taste good, they will be returned tomorrow." Come!"

He was so excited that he wanted to jump up and spin around twice: "Brother, sister, we made almost two hundred coins on this trip!" After saying this, he became annoyed again: "If I had known, I would have brought more jars!"

Xiaoxiao laughed at him: "Bring a few more jars, can you carry them? Wouldn't you feel even more distressed if you lose control and get smashed on the road? Besides, we only have these few jars in our family, so there's no way we can bring more jars. unless……"
