The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 306 Nine students go to school
Bai Meixi tossed and turned in bed thinking all night. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were dark and her complexion was not very good. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were shocked when they saw her, thinking she was sick.

"Are you too tired recently? Just watching you run to the county town these days, even an iron man can't bear it."

The mother-in-law looked at Bai Meixi with distress, and immediately went to the kitchen to boil an egg and put it in front of Bai Meixi to let her replenish her body.

This kind of concern makes Bai Meixi very embarrassed. Eggs are a high-end nutritional product in the family. Even if Bai Meixi's husband's family is doing well, they are far from being able to eat them casually.

She was the only one at the entire table who received such treatment. The others only had simple food such as steamed buns and pickles.

"I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night. I'd better give this egg to my child."

Bai Meixi quickly peeled the eggs and put them into the bowls of the two children. After hearing her words, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law smiled and looked at each other. They kept joking to Bai Meixi, saying that she couldn't sleep well because she missed her third child. .

Bai Meixi's face immediately turned red, she drank the porridge in front of her in one breath, and hurriedly said that she had to go out for something.

"Then you come back early and I'll prepare delicious food for you tonight. Hey, it's really good for my third son to work in the army, but he spends too little time at home every year. Wife, if you miss him, hurry up and visit your relatives. , just leave the household affairs to your two sisters-in-law."

Seeing that there was no movement in Bai Meixi's stomach, her mother-in-law was extremely anxious, wishing that she would immediately go to the army to give birth to a grandson. She sent her out of the door and watched her walk to the intersection before entering the house.

The concern from her husband's family made Bai Meixi feel a little guilty. Now is the time when the family is spending money. Although the tuition fees for Jiu Sheng will not lower the family's living standards, in the eyes of the two sisters-in-law, they are using the family's money to support outsiders.

Bai Meixi thought about it again and again, and finally hid the matter to prevent her husband's family from creating any new interference with her.

She went to the back mountain and found Jiu Sheng who was watering the sweet potato field. Ever since Bai Meixi rescued him once, Jiu Sheng had worked extra hard. He would come to the sweet potato field before dawn every time, and he would often dig out some bird eggs to water the sweet potato field. Save it for Bai Meixi. This kind of game is a treasure of this era. Jiu Sheng is reluctant to eat it even if he is hungry.

Looking at that small figure, Bai Meixi felt sour in her heart.If a child of such a young age were in a normal family, he would be happily reading and reading with his classmates in the classroom at this age, and would not have to live so hard at all.

"Nine students."

Bai Meixi called him softly and waved to him. Jiu Sheng's eyes immediately flashed brightly when he saw her. He dropped the bucket in his hand and ran quickly to Bai Meixi. Looking at her expectantly.

Bai Meixi took out the silver dollar and put it back into Jiu Sheng's hand. The light in his eyes dimmed immediately, and he held the silver dollar and pursed his lips without speaking.

"Have you thought about it? Do you really want to go to school? Then I will take this silver dollar. Don't you regret it?"

Bai Meixi touched Jiu Sheng's head and confirmed his thoughts again, fearing that he was acting on a whim and would not be interested in sitting in the classroom after a long time.Her words made Jiu Sheng immediately put the silver dollar back into her hand, with an extremely determined look in his eyes.

"Think about it. My mother said that I have to study and become literate before I can leave this place and go to the city. No one there knows about the Yao family and no one will bully us."

Jiu Sheng lowered his head, with a hint of resentment in his tone. He didn't like it here. Everyone except Bai Meixi was bullying him and treating him like a wild child. He wished he could grow up overnight and leave here.

Bai Meixi nodded and agreed with Jiu Sheng's idea, but she was troubled by how much money she could exchange for this silver dollar. At this time, the silver dollar was the remnant of Feng Zixiu, and had neither price nor market.If someone sees her, they might label her as missing the luxurious life of capitalism.

She took the silver dollar and rubbed it in her hands repeatedly. Faced with this piece of Yuan Datou that would be so valuable 40 years later, she had to be careful about her bid, neither taking it lightly nor taking it too seriously.

"Isn't this silver dollar enough?"

When Jiu Sheng saw Bai Meixi not speaking for a long time, his eyebrows knitted together. Although he knew that silver dollars could not be used in the market, his mother had said that a silver dollar could buy a lot of things in the past. The income of the National People’s Congress for half a year.

He was afraid that Bai Meixi would use this to find out the whereabouts of the treasure, so he went into a defensive state and did not want to say another word to Bai Meixi.

"Of course this silver dollar is enough. Let's do this. I'll give you eight dollars."

Bai Meixi had heard of the saying that one silver dollar equals a load of grain. She took out eight one-yuan notes from her pocket and put them in the hands of Jiu Sheng. The cost of going to school during this period was very low, only about two dollars per semester. This amount of money is enough for Jiu Sheng to attend school for two years.

She asked him to take the money and go to the commune to find the village chief, saying that he would study in the commune's primary school. In this way, Bai Meixi could be freed from this matter, and no one would think that she was silently supporting Jiu Sheng behind his back.

Jiu Sheng had never seen so much money. He counted the banknotes over and over again, as if he was holding on to the hope of the future.

He cheered for joy beside the sweet potato field, throwing his worn-out shoes off his feet and splashing muddy water on the ground.

Bai Meixi was afraid that Jiu Sheng would spill the beans, so she quickly called him back and had a good talk with him so that the matter could go smoothly.

“If someone asked you where the money came from, do you know what you should say?”

Bai Meixi wiped the scar on Jiu Sheng's face with her hand, and told him not to tell others that the money was exchanged for silver coins. This silver dollar was proof of the Yao family's treasure. Once word spread, coveted people would not If Jiu Sheng is spared, she may not be able to save him next time.

Jiu Sheng shook his head blankly. He looked at the money in his hand, his eyes filled with anxiety again.He was very good at lying, but this was his first time making money.

"Think about what you have done in recent times. I said, your hands are the greatest treasure. You are now able to support yourself."

Bai Meixi didn't want to teach her children to lie, but she couldn't live her life without lying in this situation.This kind of lie told for survival can only be regarded as a white lie.

"I understand. I got this money from digging for medicinal materials. It took me several months to dig for medicinal materials to get so much. My family doesn't have any treasures."

Jiu Sheng was even more sensitive about treasures than Bai Meixi, so naturally he would not take the initiative to bump into other people's guns. He looked at the sweet potato field behind him and counted the work he had done these days, trying to make the most of the money. Become rationalized.

Jiu Sheng happily went to the village chief with the money. His thinking was very quick, which made Bai Meixi feel that Jiu Sheng was a talent that could be cultivated and he would definitely have a bright future if he was properly cultivated.
