One autumn rain and one cold, although winter has not yet officially entered, but the weather is getting colder every day, Yu Zhi, a salted fish, is ready to hibernate.
Thick winter clothes are made first, cotton ones and woolen ones are made twice for each person, and the masters double. As for how many times, it depends on Yu Zhi's mood, as much as she wants to make.
Yu Zhi didn’t do much by himself, most of them were for Xiaozi and her father. For her father alone, Yu Zhi made about a dozen large woolen clothes in one go, all of which were made of high-quality leather. Anyway, there are a lot of skins in the house, so I put them away, so I might as well use them.
Yu Guangxian said with distaste, "I'm already getting old, and I can wear two of them interchangeably. Why do you do so much? You two should do more."
In fact, I am very happy in my heart. It is good to have a daughter, and the daughter is my father's caring little padded jacket.
"How can you be so old? You are still young." You haven't reached your forties yet, and there is a handsome uncle. Yu Zhi watched him try on the clothes, and nodded with satisfaction, "Our old Yu's family looks good, if father is not handsome, can he make me look so beautiful? Don't underestimate yourself. You have a good temperament, If you can wear this color, if you change to someone else, you have to be set off by the clothes like a dog.
"Father, don't worry about wearing it. You are on duty in the Prince's Mansion. Although our family is not as good as those aristocratic families, it will not make you lose face. We have nothing else in our family, except that we have a lot of leather, which can be worn by you for half a year. It's heavy. Let those villains who laugh at you see that our family also has a lot of heritage."
Yu Guangxian came from a peasant family to a high position, and he was not even a Juren, so he naturally attracted people's envy. Yu Guangxian is open-minded and doesn't take it seriously, but Yu Zhi feels wronged for her father.
What happened to the farmer? Can a poor family not give birth to a noble son? All of this is due to father's own struggle, father has strength, the crown prince values it, and is jealous? It's useless for anyone to be jealous!
Yu Guangxian was so moved that tears almost filled his eyes.
The little brat also made several clothes, but only two were made of good materials, the rest were made of ordinary fabrics, and the leather used was also ordinary.
Boys are very naughty when they climb up and down, especially clothes. Children grow up so fast, it is too wasteful to wear clothes for one season. Another one, he is in school now, and the school is also a small society. The kid is good-looking and smart, and he is often praised by his master, and he dresses like a rich man... Forget it, let's keep a low profile!
After studying, you can’t be like a baby. Boys have to be poor, poor!
As for Wen Jiuxiao, he also made two bodies for him.
Originally, he didn't have any. He is the son of the Houfu, a senior official of the fourth rank, so how can he wear less clothes? Baba did it for him on her side, no matter how much he looked down upon, she put it on the shelf, let alone talk about embarrassment, what a waste?
Isn't this Wen Jiuxiao sent her dozens of clothes? They are all made of high-quality materials, the most fashionable style in Beijing at the moment, and everyone in the rest of the body likes it very much.
Wen Jiuxiao has done so much for her, why shouldn't she return a gift? Not as rich and powerful as him, it was her wish to have two bodies anyway.
Wen Jiuxiao was very happy, finally this woman still has a conscience. Holding these two sets of clothes, he thought to himself: I will change into them when I go back, and I will wear these two sets of clothes in addition to official uniforms from now on.
Wait for him to see Yu Guangxian's dozen or so clothes, and then look at the pitiful two in his hands... Even if this woman has a conscience, she doesn't have much.
He really wanted to ask the men in the family, how could he be treated differently? He opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't ask.
He probably could have guessed Yu Zhi's answer, with the boy, he is a mother-child bond. With my father-in-law, he is a father-daughter bond. He came half way, can it be compared?
Come halfway... When will he be able to get involved with the couple?
The little boy has been hired as a parent again, what can Yu Zhi do? just go!
Seeing Kang Fuzi's serious face, Yu Zhi's legs softened a little, and he really wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't, so he had to bite the bullet and go in. To be honest, she herself was never so afraid of the teacher when she was in school.
Sure enough, the brat got into trouble. Did he actually do homework for his classmates, campus bullying? Of course not, the brat took the initiative to do homework for others, and it was paid. A homework charge five copper coins. He actually started a business among his classmates, how could he be so young?
This, this... This is really not what she taught, she has never been short of him or anything. It never occurred to Yu Zhi that the Master was looking for her because of this matter.
Master Kang was heartbroken, and repeatedly told her, what kind of gentleman, character, and character, in short, it has one meaning: don't let the brat go astray.
Yu Zhi nodded again, and assured him that he listened to Master Kang's instruction for half an hour before coming out.
The little boy may realize that he has made a big mistake, and he was very well-behaved along the way. When he got home, he even shouted in a soft voice: "Mom, don't be angry."
Yu Zhi's heart softened all of a sudden, but he still couldn't show it, "How many coppers have you earned? Show it to mother."
The little boy went to his own room, and after his fifth birthday, he slept in his own room alone. After a while, he came out with a box in his arms. Yu Zhi took a look, and found that the copper coins inside were almost half full, roughly estimated to be at least over a hundred, "You earned it all?"
The little boy nodded and took the initiative to explain, "I can write five homework a day, two at school, and three when I get home."
That is to say, he can earn twenty-five copper coins a day. A woman can only earn fifteen copper coins for washing clothes for a day.
It’s just a cub, you made a mess of your classmates and your old mother.
It’s no wonder that during this period of time, the boy did his homework as soon as he got home. Yu Zhi was very relieved, but he didn’t expect him to write for others.
Yu Zhi glanced at the copper plate in the box, grabbed a handful with his hand, let go, and let the copper plate slip from his fingers. Over a hundred is an underestimation, it should be over two hundred. Yu Zhi frowned and asked, "I remember that there are only a dozen students in your class, and they all asked you to do their homework?"
The little brat shook his head, "No, there are still two from Class D, and two from Class B."
Yu Zhi...
The scope of business is quite wide. The boy had been in Class D for a while before. It is understandable for the children in Class D to ask him to do their homework, but Class B?
"As far as your handwriting is like a dog, can people in Class B appreciate it? Can't Master recognize it?" Yu Zhi was very suspicious.
"Class B is not a copying assignment, but a poem. I help them do it, and they write it themselves."
"You can compose poetry?" Yu Zhi was surprised.
The little boy's big eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "Mother taught me to recite a lot, and I don't think it's difficult. Isn't it just to combine some words, make them symmetrical, and the last word should have a similar sound?"
Yu Zhi...
She had nothing to say, looking at the three-headed body in front of her, her mood was extremely complicated.
Wen Jiuxiao is the chosen one, the brat, right? This is the proper male lead equipment. Then what is she? The hero's premature death and vicious mother? It was thunderous when I heard it.
Ah bah, I used the wrong word, how can I curse myself? She is not vicious, and she does not want to die early, so she should be the old mother of the hero.
My mind wandered away, so I pulled it back.
"Last question, where do you hide your coins?"
"under the bed."
No wonder, Yu Zhi went in and out so many times, but never found it. Jiang's mother came in and out more times, but she didn't notice it. Is it really okay to hide private money at such a young age? There is no shortage of him in the family, don't be a quirk!
"Yu Xizhou, you are doing homework on behalf of your classmates and you are getting paid for it. This must be a wrong behavior." Yu Zhi set the tone for the matter first, "What mother wants to know is, why did you do this? Why did you do this?" What were you thinking at the time?"
As soon as his mother called him Yu Xizhou, the boy lost his previous composure. Mother is angry, angry! The gentler the mother is, the softer she talks to him, the more angry the mother is, and she doesn't know if he can keep his **** today.
"Mother, I know I was wrong." The little boy quickly admitted his mistake.
"Then tell me what you think in your heart, what you really think." Yu Zhi was unmoved, she sat upright, and shook the ruler in her hand.
Mother Jiang and the others outside the house were in a hurry, and wanted to help to intercede, but Yu Zhi looked over with a faint look, and no one dared to say anything.
"I..." The kid opened his mouth, looked at his mother, bit his lip, and looked pitiful.
"Be lenient when confessing, and strict when resisting." At such a young age, she knows how to sell miserably, and she is now a strict mother, so she won't follow him.
"I just want to earn some money to support my family. Our family bought a big house, made clothes, and sent me to school. My mother is working too hard. I want to help my mother. Our family has no shop anymore. We have to spend all our money. Mom, don't be angry, since it is wrong to write homework for classmates, I will not do it in the future, and I will think of other ways to make money."
Yu Zhi's heart was shocked, she never thought that the answer would be like this. This child is too early, he knows that it costs money to buy a house and make clothes, he knows that going to school requires education, he also noticed that there is no shop at home, which means no income, and he knows how to sit and eat...
Yu Zhi closed his eyes, his mind mixed with five flavors, not taste. At this moment, she would rather the little boy be stupid.
Outside the house, Jiang's mother wiped away her tears, muttering, "Young master is so sensible, you know how much you love your mother at such a young age."
Yu Zhi didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment, she looked into the boy's clear eyes, and took a deep breath, "Who said our family has no money?"
"Isn't it?" The little boy was confused.
"No!" Yu Zhi was expressionless, "Our family has a lot of money." Standing up, he also took out a box from his room, which was twice as big as the one in the boy's hand, "Look at what this is?"
"Silver ticket!" The boy's eyes lit up.
"Here is five thousand taels. It was earned by my mother on the way from Ancheng to Beijing. Do you know how much five thousand taels is?" Yu Zhi asked.
"very many."
"Yes, a lot. It can support you to study until you are twenty. If you spend more frugally, you should still have some left over." Yu Zhi paused, "Of course, this is not all of our family's possessions. Let me show you, I just want to tell you that our family is not short of money, your mother can do it, and you don’t need to earn money to support the family now. Your current task is to study hard, eat well, have fun, and grow up happily. Mother’s words Can you understand me?"
"Yes!" The brat nodded again and again, that's great, he won't have to help others with homework anymore, it hurts his hands. It's so hard to make money!
"You want to earn money to support the family. You have a good intention. You feel sorry for mother, and mother is very moved. But since you feel that the family has no money, why don't you ask mother? You are mother's son, why can't you tell mother? You If I tell my mother, I can avoid this mistake."
Little brat thought about it, "Mom, I will definitely ask you before I do anything in the future."
Yu Zhi also nodded, and patiently explained to him why it is wrong to do homework for classmates, and getting paid is even more wrong. The little brat's head was on his chest, "Mother, I really know I was wrong, can you forgive me?"
"Mother can forgive you, but you have to confess to your teacher when you go to school tomorrow. Take the copper coins you earned and give them to the teacher, and ask him to help you return them to your classmates."
"Mom, I got it."
"Very good, I'm glad you corrected your mistake. This is the first time, and I don't want you to make the same mistake again." Then the topic changed, "Since you made a mistake, you have to accept the punishment. Come on, palms, butts, or corners? You choose."
On this point, Yu Zhi is very open-minded.
The little brat subconsciously covered his butt, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd. Can I choose neither? Looking at her mother's stern face, it's obviously not possible.
Hit the palm? No, I have to write with a pen tomorrow. How embarrassing for someone to see him being slapped by his mother!
Spanking? No, I still have to sit in class.
Then I have to stand in the corner, "Mom, stand in the corner."
Yu Zhi tapped the ruler, "Okay, you can stand over."
The little brat obediently stood over, Yu Zhi said: "What's the point of standing? By the way, practice squatting for three quarters of an hour."
The little brat squatted in a stance, and Yu Zhi said again: "Straighten your arms."
The little boy had no choice but to raise his arms again. After a while, he was tired and wanted to act like a baby instead of squatting. Glancing at his mother secretly, seeing that her face was still gloomy, he didn't dare to say anything, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Yu Zhi saw the boy's small movements, smiled slightly, and asked him gently: "Are you tired? Are your legs sore? Are your arms sore?"
The little boy had a bitter face, "Tired! I can hardly squat anymore."
Yu Zhi smiled even more gently, "Just be tired! This way you will have a long memory. Remember this lesson, and don't be stupid in the future. Squat well!" Yu Zhi tapped the little boy's leg with a ruler, Lift up, don't fall down, the time is not up yet."
The little brat couldn't help shivering, mother is too scary, he will never be stupid or make mistakes again! Squatting with your arms up is really exhausting.
But Yu Zhi felt that it was too difficult to raise a child!
