Chapter 3
The newly built house of Luo's family has three main rooms, one is where old man Luo and Mrs. The small compartment lived in Luo Baihan; the east room was also a main room and a small compartment was allocated to Luo Baisu's family of four.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, Luo Baisu sat at the table as usual, reading books by the dim light of the oil lamp; Luo Mingdu sat on the other side mending worn clothes; After digging it out and continuing to finish the work, Luo Tiandu himself took an old book that Luo Baisu had written before, and flipped through it absent-mindedly.

This is a method she uses to cover up. She often pesters Luo Baisu to teach herself to read a few words when he is free, and properly behaves smarter than ordinary children. After a long time, even if she occasionally behaves a little out of line , will only be taken for granted and will not arouse suspicion from others.

After turning a few pages, I heard someone knocking on the door of her house outside.

She sat on the outermost side, got up and opened the door, and saw Yao Shi standing outside with his clothes on.

Yao looked around the room with his head, and said, "Boss, I'm tired after a long day of work, go to bed early, and have to go to work early tomorrow."

Luo Tian wanted to buy more time for his father to study, so he smiled and said, "Grandma, dad is teaching me how to read, so I'll sleep in a while."

Fang also had the same thought, and said: "Yes, mother, you should go to bed first, I will urge them to rest after I finish filling up the soles of the shoes, so as not to delay work tomorrow."

"When it rains on the soles of the shoes, it's fine. Now it's not cold, so don't be in such a hurry. Go to bed early, and light up the lamp to do needlework at night. Not only will it waste oil, it will hurt your eyes."

Well, I can't see it anymore, Mrs. Yao feels sorry for the lamp oil!Luo Tiandu glanced at Luo Baihan's room on the opposite side, seeing the bright light, it was clearly a spot of wax.

I have money to buy candles for my youngest son, but I am reluctant to use lamp oil for my eldest son's family.

Seeing that Fang put the shoe soles back into the sewing box, Yao Shi also stood up, knowing that they were going to sleep, so he turned around and walked towards the main house, muttering as he walked: "What characters does a girl recognize? Can you recognize them?" What's the use of having more? Can you still go to the scholar exam?"

Luo Tian didn't like to listen to this kind of argument, so he retorted: "Why can't the girl know how to read? Is it better to be blind for the rest of your life?"

"Xiaodu, why are you talking to grandma!" Fang yelled and stopped her, fearing that she would say something to offend Yao shi.

Although she didn't like Yao Shi's tone of voice, Yao Shi was an elder after all, and Luo Tiandu was a child, so if she spoke against the elders like this, it would only be said that she was uneducated.

Mrs. Yao had almost reached the door of the main room, but at this moment she turned around again, glared at Luo Tiandu, and said to Mrs. Fang, "Master, how do you discipline your children? How dare you contradict your elders at such a young age?" Is it okay to grow up?"

Fang knew that Yao's usually had a good temper. He was angry, and there were children who beat the children, that is, her most painful Luo Baining, who had been slapped when she was a child.She was afraid that Luo Tian would suffer, so she hurriedly pulled her behind, smiled at Yao Shi: "The child is not sensible, mother, don't worry about her, I will talk about her well later."

What Yao-shi wanted to say, the door of the main room opened, and old man Luo yelled at her: "It's so late, you don't sleep, what are you fussing about with a child? You're really going back as you live."

Yao shi just snorted and went back to the room.

Fang breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and began to teach Luo Tiandu a lesson: "You child, you have such a temper at such a young age, in the future, grandma will say something to you, so don't talk back, do you hear me?"

Luo Tian responded sullenly.

Seeing that she was still a little unconvinced, Fang patted her little head and said: "Mother also thinks it is a good thing for you to be able to read more, but in the future, even if you are right and grandma is wrong, you can't contradict her like this." , understand? If it gets out, it will only ruin your reputation."

Luo Tiandu thought, what's the use of her having a good reputation?It can't be eaten or worn, and it will only be kneaded by people as a soft persimmon.

She doesn't want that kind of reputation!
Muttering, she followed Luo Mingdu to the small room inside to sleep.

After sleeping until midnight, she felt anxious, and when she woke up, she was not surprised to find that the lights in Luo Baisu and Fang's room were on again.She went to the latrine, and when she came back, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She didn't feel drowsy until it was almost dawn. At this time, she deliberately looked out, and the oil lamp in Fang's room was still on. with.

The next day, it was Fang's who cooked the breakfast. While the family was eating breakfast, Luo Baihan and Luo Baining were sleeping as usual.

Luo Tiandu almost stayed up all night, his eyelids were clenched, and when he raised his eyes to look over, he found that Luo Baisu's expression was quite haggard, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

She can slowly think of ways to make money, but Luo Baisu's body can't drag on like this.Intensive labor during the day and reading all night long at night, even Iron Man can't bear it. If Luo Baisu persists like this, his own body will be worn out before Qiu Wei arrives. No matter what, she will Try to fight for this cheap old man of your own.

She first drank up her porridge that reflected the shadow, then took a shovel, ran to old man Luo and said, "Grandpa, I will go to the field with you in the future, and I will do more work. Can do less."

Old man Luo's confession of filial piety to her was very useful, he nodded happily after hearing it, said "yes" repeatedly, and kept praising her as a good grandson.

Luo Tian coaxed the old man Luo to be happy, and discussed with him again: "Grandpa, I'm still young, and I can't do too much work, can I help daddy first, and grandpa later?"

Old man Luo smiled cheerfully: "My dear grandson, you are still young, and grandpa will be very happy if you have such a heart. When you grow up, grandpa will be old and can't work anymore. It will be the same if you help grandpa." Sighing, "The boss has raised two good daughters."

Luo Tiandu blinked his big eyes and said to Luo Baisu: "Father, I will work for you today, so you can study at home. You can read clearly during the day without hurting your eyes, so that Dad can sleep at night." Get a good night's sleep and don't need to read by moonlight in the middle of the night."

Everyone at the table fell silent after saying a word, only Yao Shi said with an expression of sudden realization, "I just said how the lamp oil has been used up so fast in the past few days. It turns out that the boss is lighting it at night."

Luo Tian ignored her and continued to be provocative: "Father, grandpa promised you that you can study during the day and sleep well at night, otherwise you will always study at night and work during the day, so you don't have time to sleep. Will be exhausted."

"I heard from Changhui that his grandfather died of exhaustion while working. I don't want my father to die. If you die, my eldest sister and I will become children without a father."

Hearing "death" on the left and "death" on the right, Mrs. Fang quickly patted her small mouth, and said "bah" three times on the ground, saying: "Children have mouths without intentions, children have mouths without intentions, God don't care. "

Old man Luo nodded straight at Luo Tiandu, saying: "This child is a filial man." Then he said to Luo Baisu, "Boss should pick up the books again."

Fang was a little overjoyed. She was always worried that Luo Baisu would hurt himself when he got up to read in the middle of the night after working during the day. She was thinking about how to bring this matter up, but she didn't expect Luo Tian to be bothered for a while, and old man Luo He agreed so easily.

She hurriedly said: "I'm also thinking about letting the child's father study his homework, and go to the provincial capital next year to catch up on the exam. Maybe he can take the exam and make him a master. There is not much work in the field now, so I will do more. That's enough, there will be no delay."

Old Man Luo gave a "hmm" and said, "From today on, the boss will not go to the field, and you can study at home with peace of mind."

After speaking, he said to Yao Shi: "How much money do you have left at home? Take it out and prepare it for the boss next year."

Mrs. Yao did not object, and began to settle the accounts with a cheerful face: "The family has a total of more than ten acres of land. Although thanks to the blessing of the boss, the tax money has been saved a lot these years, but with so many mouths in the family, it is necessary to not work. For dinner, the girl Qiu got married a few days ago, and she spent eight slings just to prepare the dowry. The year before last, when Bai Han took the exam for a scholar, the cost of CD-ROMs went up a lot. How much money do you have left at home?"

Yao shi spoke politely, but Luo Tiandu heard it harshly. It meant that their family ate more and worked less.She sneered in her heart, her family had a lot of food, but she was only five years old, no matter how much she could eat, Luo Mingdu had done a lot of work for the family now, but it was Luo Baihan who had been raised by the Yao family all the time Well, she is so big, she can't lift her shoulders or lift her hands, this is what she eats, but she can't make a sound at this time, let's see what old man Luo says.

Old man Luo put the bowl aside, and asked Yao: "When Dad passed away, didn't he tell you that the money from the boss's examination should be kept? The family has no money, and Bai Han doesn't want to go to town anymore. Follow me to work in the fields." live."

Old man Luo is a well-known filial son in ten miles and eight villages. In his eyes, the old man is the greatest, not to mention that when the old man was dying, he took his hand and told him that Luo Baisu would be promising in the future, so he must Cultivate well.Even without the old man's instructions, he is still his own son, so he has to do his best.Since Mrs. Yao said that the family has no money, old man Luo's solution is simple and direct, and neither of them should go to school.

If Luo Baisu's appearance was a thorn in Yao's heart, then Grandpa was the thorn in his flesh. Even if he picked it out, the feeling of being pricked by a needle still exists in retrospect.Now that old man Luo is planning to cut off his son's future to pave the way for Luo Baisu, Yao Shi is also very dissatisfied.

She also put the bowl aside, and said unceremoniously to old man Luo: "Boss has been with dad for more than ten years, could it be that dad didn't save this money?"

The old man Luo couldn't hear what others said was wrong with his father, so he threw the bowl down, angrily stopped eating, went to the main room, took a shovel and carried it on his shoulder, and went to the field.
