Chapter 220 220 Great aunt passed away
"Everyone leave?!"

Because they were too surprised and couldn't believe it, the voices of the four siblings were an octave higher than usual, almost piercing Liu Ji's eardrums.

He quickly covered his ears, calmed down for a moment, and looked at Qin Yao who had made up his mind.

Anyway, it was not him who spent the money, and since all the children at home were there, maybe he and his four children could still get some pocket money for use.

"Everyone goes, it's decided!" Qin Yao said.

After receiving this affirmative answer, the twins happily threw themselves into Grandma's arms, hugged her arms and kept asking: "Is it true? Is it true? Grandma is not allowed to lie!"

Qin Yao repeated it three times that it was true. Only then did the two little guys believe it. They were struck by happiness and ran wildly in the main room to vent their excitement that had nowhere to go.

I was about to go to bed late at night, but now no one could fall asleep.

Dalang and Erlang asked with concern: "What about the school?"

Qin Yao said: "Just ask for leave."

Erlang and Dalang looked at each other, can they ask for leave like this?Will sir not allow it?
Qin Yao patted her chest and assured them that there would be no problem. Who didn't lie to the teacher when they were young because they wanted to travel with their parents?

"Would it cost a lot of money?" Erlang was a little worried. With so many of them traveling far away, it would cost money to eat and drink on the way. When they get to Fucheng and have to stay in a hotel, it would be even more.

When it comes to spending money, Qin Yao always spends money and saves money, telling them not to worry and to prepare their luggage.

In addition to the family assets such as fields and grain storage, she still has more than 60 taels of silver in her hand, which is just a trip to the city, and she can't spend it all!

As the old saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of miles of books.

Opportunities like going to Fucheng don't come around all the time. Now that the decision has been made, even if it is a little impulsive, Qin Yao will not regret it since she has agreed.

After the couple rushed the four excited children back to the room, the two adults, Qin Yao and Liu Ji, stayed behind. You looked at me, and I looked at you.

The children are happy, but the problems that adults need to solve have increased.

Liu Ji asked: "Who feeds the cows at home?"

Qin Yao said helplessly: "I can only ask the old house."

There is also a water mill, so I have to tell Mr. Zhang and Old Man Liu not to forget to come and withdraw money.

All the money I received goes back to my old house, and I earn more than 200 yuan a month, which is considered to be enough to cover the cattle care fees.

Liu Ji had some objections, "We are all one family, so what's the difference between you and me? Brothers can help each other without paying money."

Qin Yao sneered at him: "You are shameless and I still want it."

Liu Ji lowered his eyelids and curled his lips when she wasn't paying attention, and said softly: "Why are you scolding someone when you are so good?"

Qin Yao ignored him and pointed to the chickens in the yard. They had been raising them for more than a year and were already very big.

Liu Ji remembered the deliciousness of the chicken soup, licked the corner of his mouth, and asked tentatively: "How about killing them and eating them? If you stay, you have to find someone to feed them, which is really troublesome."

Qin Yao glanced at him and responded readily: "Okay!"

"But these chickens Sanlang and Si Niang are very precious. Do you want to give them a shout first?" Liu Ji suddenly asked again.

He was really afraid that the twins would cry to heaven and earth and cause no peace in the family.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that he doesn't want to destroy the image of a loving father that he has worked so hard to establish in the hearts of his children.

Qin Yao thought it made sense. After all, the twins kept those chickens as pets. It would be better to ask.

He gave Liu Ji a look of relief that said, "You are quite thoughtful." He stood up, waved his hands, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Early the next morning, the couple called Sanlang and Siniang over and asked them their opinions on killing the chickens.

Siniang's eyes lit up, "Auntie, Auntie, I want to drink chicken soup, and I also want a chicken leg!" Just thinking about it makes me drool.

Saburo pouted, looking a little reluctant, but he didn't object.The result was that when everyone gathered for chicken dinner in the evening, the little guy drank two bowls of rich chicken soup and said with tears: "It's so hot, but it's so fragrant~"

All four chickens were killed, and the family couldn't finish them all. Qin Yao called everyone in the old house to eat together, and by the way, she told her family of six that they were going on a long trip.

Old Man Liu almost spit out the chicken soup that reached his mouth. He managed to endure the burning and swallowed it, and immediately asked:

"Boss, the first man, the second son, the third son, and the fourth mother-in-law are all going to Fucheng? Are they going for a scientific examination or just for fun?"

Qin Yao smiled and motioned for Old Man Liu to sit down first, "The main task is of course the scientific examination, and the fun is just a side trip."

"Has it been decided?" Old Man Liu asked.

The six members of the family nodded in unison.

Liu Jidao: "Tomorrow morning we will go to the clan school to help the four of them ask for leave."

"This is only a month, Master, can you agree?" Liu Bai was curious about what reason Liu Ji would use.

Liu Ji smiled mysteriously, "My wife and I have our own arrangements for this."

After dinner, looking at the four happy Dalang brothers and sisters, everyone in the old house still couldn't understand what Liu Ji and Qin Yao were thinking.

Don't they both feel sorry for the money at all?

It is said that poor people get rich on the road, so no matter how much you save on the road, you still have to spend one or two taels of silver, right?Not even counting the one or two hundred cash per night in Fucheng.

Finally, including food and drink for a family of six, eight taels of silver will definitely be spent.

Eight taels!He and Qiu both gasped at the thought.

Originally they thought Qin Yao had a clear mind and knew how to save money.

Now it seems that they still know too little about her.

Before leaving, Qin Yao and Liu Ji followed the children to study in the Ding clan. Qin Yao went to San Lang and Siniang, and Liu Ji went to Da Lang Erlang.

Master Ding asked, "Why do you need to take such a long leave?"

Liu Ji looked sad. He sighed first and then winked at Dalang and Erlang. The two brothers understood and immediately lowered their heads in a gesture of grief.

Liu Ji touched the corners of his eyes and said, "The child's great-aunt has passed away. She has been very kind to us since she was a child. So this time, we have to go to the funeral of our great-aunt. Not only do we have to go, but we also have our two children to be there for them." My aunt will stay for the first seven days to show her filial piety, and I hope that the master will allow me to take leave so that the children can see my great aunt on her last journey."

Confucian scholars attach great importance to filial piety. Upon hearing this, Master Ding not only agreed to leave, but also told the two brothers to keep vigil for their great-aunt for a few more days.

After telling two more allusions related to filial piety, Master Ding let him go smoothly.

On Qin Yao's side, Master Cheng also asked the same question: "But what happened at home?"

Master Cheng valued these two students, Siniang and Sanlang, very much. If it was not necessary, he did not want them to take leave and delay their studies.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao handed over a letter from Fucheng with both hands. The content of the letter was exactly the same as what Liu Ji said in front of Master Ding.

Master Cheng's face changed, and he immediately showed some polite sympathy from a somewhat reproachful look.

He returned the letter to Qin Yao and said to the twins: "Go, but don't forget to review your lessons even if you are sad."

The twins, who were told by their father not to laugh but to cry, heard Master Cheng's words and almost couldn't contain their joy.

Fortunately, Qin Yao stepped forward in time to block them both, and bowed to Master Cheng, "You're causing trouble for me, sir!"

The corners of the twins' mouths couldn't control the upward movement, so it wasn't exposed.

Jinbao witnessed the whole process, and when he returned home, he told what his third uncle and third aunt had done in the academy.

As he spoke, he was quite envious of Sanlang and Si Niang for having such open-minded parents.

After listening to Jin Bao's description, everyone in the old house fell into an eerie silence.
