Eating big melon is so refreshing
Chapter 57 Taixuan Jing (2)
Xiao Qiulin thought so in his heart. Grandpa Ku wanted to advance to the dark power level more urgently than anyone else. He would definitely want to practice after seeing the Taixuan Sutra. If this book was not suitable for practice, the first person to be affected would definitely be the one with the highest cultivation level.
Master Mingyue saw through Xiao Qiulin's sinister intentions at a glance, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He had worked hard to find this book, and now he was giving it to Grandpa Po for free, so there was no problem.
Xiao Chunya had no idea that these two people had so many twists and turns in their minds. What she wanted was to share resources, help each other and benefit each other, for the benefit of everyone.
"...Can you give me some of that silver first? Aren't there only two strength tests in the county school a year? One in June and one in December. If I sign up for school next spring, my father will have to pay thirty taels of silver in one go. I guess my father will go bald because of the tuition." Xiao Chunya is a good and filial child. How could her handsome father become bald at such a young age?
Master Mingyue took out a few silver notes, all of which were worth twenty taels of silver. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. I'll give you a silver note worth one hundred taels of silver first. Your uncles and aunts are fine for now, but your eldest aunt's family members are all weird. In short, be careful when you go back for the New Year."
"Huh? I don't think I've seen them before. How did you know about it in advance?" It was the first time that Xiao Chunya realized that men could be so gossipy.
Xiao Qiulin took the banknote and said slowly, "Sister, Dad is a filial son. Now the eldest son of my uncle is studying. Soon his second and third sons will also be studying."
"Don't beat around the bush, just get to the point." Xiao Chunya has no experience in house fighting, but she is not a fool, right? What is the look in her brother's eyes? Does he think he is a fool? The brother of a fool should be called the third fool, right?
"The key is that this money must be used for our studies and martial arts training. Don't let my aunt have an excuse to use it to support her son's studies." Xiao Qiulin said, "Now Daniu's studies are not funded by my uncle but by my grandfather. It is the money that my father and several uncles gave to my grandfather as a token of filial piety."
"You mean that Da Niu gets money from the public school to study, but we don't get money to study?" Xiao Chunya was a little surprised, but she thought it was nothing strange. "Brother, Dad only brings home a hundred coins every month, how could Grandpa pay for our studies?"
"But not only did we not get this subsidy, but the children of my third uncle, fourth uncle, and even fifth uncle will not get it either." Xiao Qiulin calmly analyzed, "Because grandpa doesn't have that much money, he can only support the three children of my eldest uncle to study for three years at most."
"Forget it. Grandpa has a hard time too. We are all poor after all. In the early years, we had problems getting food and needed help from other grandfathers."
Xiao Qiulin looked a little depressed. His sister was very generous and understanding, so he was being a mean person in vain? How could the fat sister be at odds with him? He was very unhappy.
Xiao Chunya looked at Master Mingyue and said, "Can we plant potatoes in the spring next year?" The high yield of potatoes can at least fill people's stomachs. She felt that only when people were full would more people consider studying.
"Do you think the villagers will be able to accept new crops? The grain tax will not include potatoes, and wheat will continue to be grown."
Master Mingyue said, "It can only be planted on a small scale. Only when the villagers see the benefits will they actively plant potatoes."
"Grandpa said he would give my brother and I two acres of land, and we can plant whatever we want in the spring. I'll use those two acres to experiment." Xiao Chunya thought for a moment and said, "My father has two acres of land in the suburbs. One acre will continue to grow pumpkins and one acre will be used to grow potatoes. Let's see if there is any wasteland and ask my father to buy a few acres. Can he buy land?"
"According to Daye's laws, an adult male without a title can own five acres of land. How many acres of land does your father have in his name?"
"Two acres." Xiao Chunya said, "Grandpa didn't divide the family property. All the land in Zhaojia Village is in his name. Dad can still buy three acres of land. Dry land is cheaper by one tael of silver per acre."
Xiao Qiulin directly objected, "Sister, Dad can't buy any more land now, at least not in his name. This is to tell people that our family is rich and welcomes people to borrow money."
"What should I do? It would be a shame to miss this opportunity in vain." Who can understand the frustration of seeing a mountain of silver in front of you but not being able to dig out a few pieces?
"Let's persuade our great grandfather, second grandfather, third grandfather, and the village chief uncle to each plant one acre of land to grow potatoes. That way, when the potatoes are harvested, they won't complain. If only our family grows potatoes, it would be strange if they don't complain in private when they see a bumper harvest of grain."
Xiao Qiulin said, "Grandpa Ku has two acres of land, and we will give him half an acre of potato seeds. He is the master of Uncle Five and has a good relationship with Uncle Three. The most important thing is that his family is really not rich."
"I'll go and convince them." Xiao Chunya felt that this task was not difficult. The old people in the village liked chubby children the most. She was the only girl in the Zhao family's generation. She was everyone's darling!
"Go find Grandpa Ku and have a look at this book of inner strength first, and then let me hold GunGun." Xiao Qiulin was also a panda fan. If he hadn't been pressed to the ground and rubbed by the fat sister when he tried to grab the little panda, he would have grabbed the little panda long ago.
Xiao Chunya let her brother hold the red panda and said, "Where can we find tender bamboo for Gungun to eat in the middle of winter? We can't let it starve."
"GunGun likes to eat carrots, too." Master Mingyue said, "In another hour, the carrots will be ready for harvest."
"Remember to call me over to feed GunGun." Xiao Chunya wrapped the "Tai Xuan Jing" with a piece of cloth, put it in a small basket, and placed a few fruits on top of the book. It didn't look eye-catching at all.
Xiao Chunya went out from the back door, carrying a small basket to the alley next door. Those who were monitoring the situation were too lazy to even glance at the small basket in her hand.
Xiao Chunya came to the door and knocked, "Grandpa Ku, Grandma Ku, Xiaochun'er is here." Her loud voice could be heard throughout the alley, and the spies who were secretly monitoring her had to cover their ears with their hands, which was a real torture.
Zhao Erlang stuck his head out of the dessert shop to take a look and said, "Uncle Ku's fat cat is in trouble again."
Zhao Wulang chuckled and said, "I'll go and take a look." The poor fat cat was all bald, but considering its loyalty in catching mice, let it escape this disaster.
On the other side, Xiao Chunya was just trying to find an excuse to call my uncle over, but seeing that Fifth Uncle had fallen into the trap, it would save a lot of trouble.
When Uncle Ku and Zhao Wulang saw Xiaochun take out the "Tai Xuan Jing", one of them broke the teacup and the other fell down directly. The legendary magical internal power and mental method actually appeared in front of them!
