Grandpa Zhen collected the banknotes and coins, went to the butcher shop and bought three kilograms of pork belly, and then took the bullock cart back.
Along the way, the two men looked calm on the surface, but were actually very excited inside.
"Chief Zhen, is your family getting rich? How long ago did you go to the city to buy meat again?" Zhen Daniu, who was pulling the oxcart, said casually with a smile.
Grandpa Zhen did not deny that he had made money, because with so much money, sooner or later it would be known. He smiled half-truthfully and said: "Daniu, don't laugh at me. I was lucky yesterday. I picked up several kinds from the mountain." It's just ordinary medicinal materials. I exchanged them for money and prescribed meat and vegetables for my family."
"Really? That's really congratulations. I need to buy some meat, but I heard that your family has given birth to a little lucky star. You need to take good care of it. It may be the hope of the village in the future."
"Yes, yes." The old man replied cheerfully and without humility. That's not true, and it doesn't matter who his granddaughter is.
Zhen Dabei was also feeling proud next to her. That is my daughter, Zhen Dabei.
Back home, the rest of the family had learned from Qian that the little fairy Wan Wan had conjured a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and the two men immediately went to the city to exchange money.
"Tianhua, how are you doing? How much did you change?" Grandma Zhen saw the two men coming back and hurriedly went up to ask.
Next to her, Mrs. Qian was holding Little Fairy Wanwan in her arms and looking forward to it, especially Little Phoenix. She wanted to know how much money her Ganoderma lucidum could be exchanged for in this world.
"Mom, second brother and sister, Yuanyuan, take a guess." Zhen Dabei asked happily.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Zhen Erlang guessed carefully.
The other three agreed, and everyone agreed that it was a lot.
"One hundred and fifty taels, here are one hundred and fifty taels of silver notes and 50 taels of silver. Hahahaha, old lady, take it and keep it, and let Brother Yuan and Brother Qing go to school."
"What? One hundred and fifty taels?" The four people said in unison.
Although Wanwan didn't understand the concept of one hundred and fifty taels, but judging from the attitude of the family, it must be a lot. She closed her eyes with satisfaction and began to continue practicing.
"Yes, you heard it right, take it and keep it, hahahaha."
"Okay, okay, God treats us well!"
Except for a few unsuspecting children, the whole family appeared very happy and excited.
Several children felt the excitement of the adults in the family. Although they didn't know why, they were also happy.
The reason why some adults dare not tell the children is because they are afraid that if the children are lax and tell the truth while playing with other children in the village, what will happen if the whole village comes looking for their daughter/granddaughter?
Wanwan can help the village when she grows up, but not now. She is too young now. They don't believe that it will be easy for this Ganoderma lucidum to appear out of thin air. It may be the granddaughter/nannan who spent her energy to conjure it up.
In fact, everyone is overthinking it. If Little Phoenix knew about it, he would definitely explain it to his family. Little Phoenix got Ganoderma lucidum very easily. This is the worst thing in the space.
When he got rich, Grandpa Zhen, Zhen Dalang and Zhen Erlang asked their two grandsons to go to school together in the town.
Second Sister-in-law Zhen was so excited that she almost cried when she heard that Brother Qing was also following her. She was filled with infinite gratitude to Wan Wan's little niece. Second Sister-in-law Zhen silently swore in her heart that she would be twice as kind to the little fairy.
Zhen Dalang and Zhen Erlang returned to their respective rooms, called their children respectively, and told them about going to school.
When Zhen Yuan and Zhen Qing heard the news, they jumped up excitedly. They didn't expect that they could also go to school.
"Dad, is it true, can I really go to school?" Zhen Yuan confirmed in disbelief.
"Wow, are my eldest brother and I going? Our family is prosperous, that's great." Zhen Qing shouted excitedly.
Both children were even more excited after receiving their father's approval. They were still excited even during dinner.
After getting excited, the two children still expressed doubts. They were not young anymore and knew that the family had no money, let alone sending two of them to school at once.
The two children expressed their worries, and several adults explained that the family was lucky enough to encounter good medicinal materials when they went to the mountains, and exchanged them for some money, and the two children became happy again.
Tonight's dinner was very sumptuous. Three kilograms of pork belly were stir-fried by Sister-in-law Zhen and it was very delicious. My family was happy today and had a little money. We didn't need to save spices and oil for cooking tonight, and the stir-fried vegetables were many times more delicious.
Tonight is another day of satisfaction and laughter for the Zhen family. The family has not been this relaxed for a long time.
During dinner at home, Zhen Wanwan pretended to be asleep so as not to trouble her mother, so she was put in the back room.
Little Phoenix also wanted to eat meat. Little Phoenix hadn't eaten for a long time. Little Phoenix wanted to cry. It was so difficult.
But Wanwan knew that she didn't have teeth yet, couldn't bite, and her family wouldn't let her eat.
After dinner, the sky gradually darkened.
It was originally a happy thing, but Zhen Yuan seemed to have thought of something and ran to his sister's bed with a sad face.
As soon as Qian came in, he saw Brother Yuan staring at his sister.
"What's wrong, Brother Yuan, why are you looking so sad? Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Mom, I heard that if I go to school in the town, I only have two days off on the 15th. Then I won't be able to see my sister for half a month. I can't bear to leave my sister."
When Zhen Wanwan heard this, she opened her round eyes and pouted her small mouth, as if she was responding to her elder brother.
Wanwan can't bear to leave her eldest brother, but she knows that she must go to school so that she can have a better life in the future.
"Brother Yuan, work hard. My sister is still young. When she grows up, she will also be literate. Then you will be responsible for tutoring her in her studies."
Ordinarily, girls from farm families would not have the opportunity to learn to read. In this era, women were not allowed to go to school. Rich families hired their husbands to teach at home.
My daughter is different. My daughter is a little fairy who descended to earth. How can the little fairy be prevented from reading? Qian thought to herself.
If the little Phoenix Wanwan hears her mother's words, she will definitely refute it again. Wanwan is a little Phoenix, the only little Phoenix in the world, not a fairy. Fairies are not as powerful as Wanwan's magic.
Hearing this, Zhen Yuan instantly figured out that he should study hard and help his sister with her studies in the future. He liked his sister the most. As for his younger brother, he was too troublesome and he didn't even want to take care of him.
"Okay, Mom, I will study hard, try to learn more, and teach it to sister Wanwan in the future."
The next day, cousins Zhen Yuan and Zhen Qing got up early, and their family found a simple bag for them to put their books in.
In this way, Zhen Yuan and Zhen Qing were taken by Grandpa Zhen to register at the school in the town. They paid silver and watched the two brothers go in. They asked the master some questions and the conditions for food and accommodation before returning with peace of mind.
Looking at Zhen Yuan and Zhen Qing, they came in midway and introduced themselves. The master arranged seats for them and continued teaching.
Because they came in midway on the first day, the books had not been distributed to the two brothers, and they would not be distributed until the second day.
Zhen Yuan did not stop listening carefully because he had no books. He still listened to the Master's explanations with concentration and studied with him.
Zhen Qing is more lively. He looks around as soon as he comes in. His mind is not on studying at all.
