After Rokuro went out for a while, he came back with two little birds in his hands. He pulled some hay on the way and made a small nest for them. The two little guys were shaking their heads and cracking their mouths in the nest, croaking for food.

, adding some life to the house.

The two brothers first beat up a few small grasshoppers to feed them, but the little ones kept screaming. In desperation, the two brothers ran to the kitchen and asked their mother for some small pieces of cooked sweet potatoes, and stuffed them all.

After entering the stomach, the little guy lay quietly on the grass nest and fell asleep.

The two brothers were familiar with each other as they were, and it was understandable that this was not the first time they had served such a gadget. Chu Congrong was very happy to see it. In another time and space, she had always liked small animals. If she hadn't been anxious to make money to support herself, she would have been

Definitely reluctant to sell it.

"Ahem - Xiaoliu, tell the people who want to buy them that these are the authentic Vajra Starlings. They are famous - the best master in the Western Paradise World who defeated Buddha Qitian and the mount of Sun Wukong - the Black Gold God.

The offspring of the eagle! Ahem, two of them can be sold for fifty cents."

"Five...ten coins!" The two brothers exclaimed in unison, their eyes widening. Fifty coins is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for country children!

"Ahem, just fifty coins! When I get better, I will give him the most exciting story in the world, the story of the Great Sage Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

Chu Congrong believes that no matter where in the world, few children can resist the charm of Sun Wukong. The havoc in heaven is undoubtedly the most brilliant part of Journey to the West. It depends on whether the twins can accurately convey the message.

Mrs. Ye came back around noon, bringing back more than two kilograms of dried peanuts. I didn’t know where they asked for them, so the two brothers rushed out holding the bird’s nest. Chu Congrong looked at the anxious backs of the two and smiled,

I closed my eyes to rest my mind and fell asleep unconsciously.

After more than an hour of dating, Chu Congrong didn't wake up until Ye called for Chu Congrong. Ye had prepared the medicine. As soon as she drank a bowl of medicine, the two brothers came back in a hurry. Qilang's pants were so heavy that they almost

Sliding down, his hands nervously pulled on the pants.

As soon as Ye left the room, Liulang closed the door nervously. Qilang started to dig into his pockets, and soon dozens of copper coins were piled on the bed.

"Sister, there are only so many in total!" Shichiro said with an excited face and chuckled.

Chu Congrong saw that he probably didn't know how to count and smiled.

"Sister, when I said I wanted fifty cents, they were all frightened. Only Fatty Li was willing to buy it, and he was only willing to pay thirty cents." Liulang explained.

"Ahem, how come there are forty-one cents?" Chu Congrong lightly picked it up with her fingers.

"Sister, can you count?!" The two brothers were immediately surprised.

"Sister, I'll teach you how to count someday." Through this incident, Chu Congrong discovered that the two brothers had very sharp minds and very good memories.

"Great! We will also count from now on!"

"We found a few wealthy people. They all wanted to buy but they had no money. They also wanted to hear stories, so we charged them two cents. The village chief's family, Li Sanwa, only had one cent and said she owed us one cent. Sister, you

You won’t blame us, right?” Rokuro explained excitedly.

No wonder it's strange, it's a good thing to have one more article in this situation, let alone eleven more articles at once.

"Sister, we must not give money to mother, the milk will be taken away! It's not okay to hide it in the house, fifth brother and Hachiro will steal it accidentally." Qilang reminded from the side.

Chu Congrong was a little troubled. Is it so difficult to save twenty or thirty coins?

Over the past few days, she found that she did not have the space, powers or cheating artifacts such as golden fingers to carry around with her. She had no choice but to ask Qi Lang to pay the old man ten cents back first and keep the remaining thirty-one cents on herself.

"Sister, we owe Langzhong's grandfather three hundred coins, but there is no need to pay it back in a hurry." Rokuro explained that there is no rush to pay back the old doctor's money.

Ten cents is not much compared to three hundred yuan of foreign debt, but it can reduce the risk of being stolen, and it can show the old man that the family is working hard to repay the debt and is not a deadbeat. How could the twins understand Chu Congrong's intentions at such young ages?

.

There are thirty-one pence left. If you buy bones at three pence a day, you should be able to last for ten days. This amount of money affects your health, so you must try your best to save it.

If you can drink Tonggu Peanut Soup for ten days in a row, you will probably feel better.

For the next three days in a row, except for scolding Mr. Ye, Mrs. Du did not cause any trouble. The medicine Chu Congrong drank every day was mainly anti-inflammatory, which was very harmful to the body at the same time as it eliminated germs. With the addition of peanut tube bone soup,

Chu Congrong recovered quickly and was able to get out of bed and walk around three days later.

The unique aroma of boiled bone and peanut soup permeated the entire west wing, and even drifted into the yard, attracting greedy people. Chu Baofeng was like a hunting dog that smelled the scent of prey, so he often broke in to take a look. He hid several times in a row and saw several

A smooth bone, not even a bit of meat foam on it, so clean that no dog would even want to lick it if it were left on the ground.

Chu Baofeng often opened a small stove with Mrs. Du, and she could eat meat twice in three days. She was not greedy for the few peanuts. After seeing that there was no meat for a few times, she was too lazy to come back. But she was not completely relieved, and encouraged Wu Lang and Ba Lang from time to time.

The two little guys came over to join in the fun. The two little guys looked here and there. Sometimes the twins couldn't hide in time. They looked at the peanuts in the pot and ate them without caring about burning their mouths.

Chu Congrong felt nauseous after hearing the description of the twins, but in order to get better quickly, she had no choice but to drink it with a frown. She had two meals of bone soup at noon and evening every day, maybe because the original owner's body was too good at absorbing nutrients, or maybe it was because

Chu Congrong's desire to survive was too strong. As the copper coins in his body became less and less, Chu Congrong felt that he was completely alive.

In the days that followed, the sweet rice soup disappeared. The twins went all over the village and couldn't borrow a grain of rice. Everyone's home was really empty. Chu Congrong found out that rice essence is very expensive these days, costing more than ten kilograms.

As for Wen Qian. Fortunately, Tonggu peanut soup never stops, which is an important source of nutrition.

Chu Congrong began to accept whole grains, or sweet potato and millet porridge, or dried cassava millet porridge. In another time and space, urbanites regarded these as snack foods, but now they are difficult to swallow. I heard from the twins that this kind of food is quite good in the village.

Now, many families can only eat sugary vegetables, and some people even eat wild vegetables every day.

Despite such harsh conditions, Chu Congrong felt that her health was getting better day by day, and she was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the afternoon, three men wearing blue robes and holding paper fans walked into the courtyard. In front of them was a middle-aged man in his late forties, with a few half-foot-long beards on his face, a smile on his face, and a gentle look.

The other two young men were both nearly ten years old. The older one looked very arrogant, while the younger one had his nostrils turned upward and turned a blind eye to Chu Congrong.

"Hello, uncle, hello, brother Dalang, hello, brother Erlang!" Liulang rushed over and greeted the three of them loudly. My sister has forgotten many things due to her illness and may not recognize the three of them.

Chu Congrong also called Liulang all over. He knew that these were the three scholars of the Chu family. The eldest was the eldest uncle Chu Youwen, and the other two were the eldest son Chu Shijun and the second son Chu Yongjun.

Seeing the condescending demeanor of the three of them, a famous saying came to Chu Conongrong's mind at that moment: Everything is inferior, only reading is superior!

Chu Youwen looked at Chu Congrong, with a look of surprise on his face, but he still nodded as a response. In a very rude tone, he asked Liu Lang to go to the fields to inform Mr. Chu that his father and son were back.

Chu Congrong suddenly felt disgusted. Is he treating Liulang as a servant?

Mr. Chu was a little surprised when he heard that the boss was back. It wasn't time for the academy to rest yet. Shouldn't they be at the town academy?

"Dad, my son came back this time to discuss the college examination with you." Chu Youwen saluted his father, who had been qualified as a child many years ago.

"You and Dalang County have passed the government examination and you only need to take the college examination. It's only June now, isn't it still early for August?"

On the way to study in Daning, the scholar has to pass three passes, namely the county examination, the government examination and the courtyard examination. After passing the county examination, he is called a tongsheng, and after passing the courtyard examination, he can become a scholar. A scholar can be considered to have truly achieved fame and can be exempted from six

For ten acres of land tax, you can still meet an official without becoming an official. Only after you have the qualifications to become a scholar can you take the next level examination - the rural examination. The rural examination is for high school candidates. If you want to truly become an official, there are also examinations and palace examinations to wait.

This is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty in another time and space.

"Father, the reason why my son wants to take Da Lang and Erlang to the county in advance is so that they can get familiar with the place as soon as possible and see more of the world. There are many talented people in the county, so it is convenient for the children to find teachers and friends, and to discuss and communicate with learned students from all over the country.

I want to learn more so that I can pass the college examination as soon as possible, so I specifically asked my father for permission."

Mr. Chu had read books when he was young, and of course he knew that mutual communication was necessary. He thought for a while and said: "You Wen, what you said makes sense. It's just that we went two months early. The cost for the three of us is not a small sum."

"Baby, I have a rough estimate. I can save some money and only need thirty taels." Chu Youwen saw that the old man agreed with his words, and his expression was greatly relieved.

"Thirty taels!" Mr. Chu took a breath. It's really not a small sum. It can buy five or six acres of good paddy fields.

"Normally, the three children and grandchildren only need to spend a few taels in two months. But since the child needs to find teachers and friends, and the consumption in the county is quite expensive, it is not good for the child's face to be too shabby. What if we are lucky enough to meet him?

When it comes to teaching, Master and other noble people, we can't meet them with nothing. So I think it's better to prepare a few taels in advance."

Mr. Chu thought to himself that the boss and his son were taking the exam at the same time. He did not dare to expect that all three of them would pass the exam at the same time. As long as one of them could pass the exam, it would be a good deal. But thirty taels is definitely a large amount for any farmer.

After thinking about it again and again, he could not agree directly and said that he would discuss it with Mrs. Du after dinner.

When Mrs. Du knew that her eldest son and her two grandsons were back, she immediately asked Mrs. Chen to buy pork belly and a big herring. She said that the three of them had spent too much time studying, so she wanted to help them brainstorm.

The second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, said with a sour tone and a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, look how good my mother is to you! She is both fish and meat."

Mrs. Du's round eyes widened and she shouted: "Second brother, what do you mean by being sour! Your eldest brother and the three of you have made great achievements in their studies, and you are not the one who gets the glory?"

Mrs. Wang chuckled and said, "Mom, aren't I happy? Dalang Erlang has meat to eat again tonight, and Shilang Jiulang can also eat one or two slices."

"You are the reincarnation of a glutton. You don't even care about the food of the scholars. Don't eat the food of the boss's family. Your father and I have discussed it. After the autumn harvest is over, I will ask someone to find Shiro in the town.

As an apprentice, I also have a craft and can make a good living in the future." Mrs. Du said confidently.

"Thank you for your concern, mother!"
