When Qiu Sheng entered the room, he closed the door, for fear that the bees outside would come in.

Xiao Li on the kang was awakened by the sound of closing the door, rubbed his eyes and got up and asked, "Brother~ Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm sleepy, didn't you just eat?"

Qiusheng picked up Jiaojiao and walked forward, put her on the soft cushion, and took his younger brother to straighten his messy hair.

Xiao Li's eyes were sleepy, with two strands of hair curled up on his forehead, he rubbed his eyes again and stared at the window, his clear eyes were a little confused, he asked blankly, "Brother, where's sister?"

Jiaojiao at the side waved her little hand, and said in a waxy voice, "Brother, I'm here."

Hearing the little sister's voice, Xiao Li instantly regained consciousness a lot, climbed off his elder brother and ran to the side of his sister.

"Sister~" Xiao Li was very happy, Xiao Hei held his sister and did not let go.

"Xiao Li, don't be so coquettish, come here, brother will comb your hair."

Xiao Li pulled his sister and shook his head, "No comb, I want to play with my sister."

Jiaojiao is used to the little brother holding her hand, and when she heard that the big brother was going to comb her hair, she found a piece of malt candy in her pocket, stuffed it into the mouth of the naive little brother, and coaxed: "Little brother, comb your hair well, and Jiaojiao will be with you in a while." you play."

"Okay~" Xiao Li was very happy eating the sweet malt candy in his mouth, and obediently walked to his elder brother's side.

"Brother, hurry up and comb your hair, I want to play with my sister."

"Okay, brother, hurry up."

...

In the afternoon, Liu Weiqing came to see Qiusheng.

The two were talking mysteriously in the room, Jiaojiao was very curious, so she sneaked to the window and tiptoed to watch.

Xiao Li also ran over to watch Hanhan.

Qiu Sheng in the room lowered his eyes, turned his back to the window and did not see the two of them.

"Qiu Sheng, my grandfather often praises you for being smart. It's a pity that you don't go to school." Liu Weiqing said in a low voice.

Qiu Sheng's delicate face turned pale, he pursed his lips and said, "Wei Qing, don't persuade me anymore, I won't go to school."

"Did you forget that we agreed to go to the capital together? What should you do when you don't go to school now? As for the tuition you are worried about, I will borrow it from my parents." Liu Weiqing said anxiously.

Qiu Sheng clenched his fists and said nothing, his eyes were slightly red, why didn't he want to go, but there was no money in the family that could afford him, their family owed the Liu family a lot of kindness all these years, the tuition fee was not a small amount, how could parents Also on.

"Wei Qing, you don't need to say more, I don't want to go." Qiu Sheng said in a low voice.

"You, how can you give up like this." Liu Weiqing was anxious.

The Liu family is a well-to-do family in ten miles and eight villages. His grandfather is a scholar, and his parents run a shop in the town. Liu Weiqing has never experienced any hardships, so he can't understand why Qiusheng is like this. Do not go to school.

Qiu Sheng knew that Wei Qing was doing it for his own good, but he had too many concerns, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Wei Qing, I'm in poor health, you should just assume that I'm at home to take care of you."

Liu Weiqing's handsome face was a little anxious, and he wanted to persuade him, but then changed his words to: "Qiu Sheng, our family can help with the cost of the academy, think about it carefully, I will leave tomorrow afternoon, you can do it before then." Come to me, as long as you want to study, I will definitely help you, and you don’t have to rush to pay back the money, it’s not too late when you’re promising in the future.”

Qiu Sheng was a little moved, but when he thought of the situation at home, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said with a bitter smile, "Okay."

outside the window,

After Jiaojiao heard these words, she blinked her big black eyes and pursed her mouth tightly.

The eldest brother reads every day and is so good at handwriting. He probably wants to go to school, but he can't because he doesn't have any money at home.

"Sister~Brother, what are they talking about?" Xiao Li leaned his head over and asked quietly.

Jiaojiao made a shh with her hands, and Xiao Li covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "Sister, don't be afraid~ Big brother didn't find us."

Jiaojiao was afraid that her elder brother would hear her, so she hurriedly led her to the backyard with her little hand.

In the backyard, Jiaojiao suddenly asked Xiao Li: "Brother, how can I earn money?"

Xiao Li scratched his head, thought for a while and tilted his head and said, "It only costs one copper coin to dig out a bird's egg, but it can sell a lot of copper coins when Dad catches the prey."

Jiaojiao blinked a little disappointed, she was afraid that the little bird would not dare to dig out the eggs, and she was not as tall as her father, so she would definitely not be able to catch the prey.

"Brother, do you know what the richest person in our village does to make money?" Jiaojiao asked with bright eyes.

Xiao Li sniffed and thought for a while, pouted his mouth and tugged at his clothes, and said a little unwillingly: "The tiger in the village has a lot of money, and his family sells meat in the town. He said that his family has meat to eat every day, but they Bad, always call me a fool."

"Brother is not stupid." Jiaojiao retorted subconsciously.

"Yes! I can pick out bird eggs. A tiger is a fool if he can't climb a tree."

Xiao Li happily picked up a twig, and ran to the chicken coop to play with the hens. The hens were scared and clucked, and Xiao Li laughed loudly.

Jiaojiao looked at her little brother, blinking her eyes and thinking about something.

Selling meat makes a lot of money, but there is no meat at home, so I eat all the meat that my father bought.

She is only a human being, she can't write, and she can't copy notebooks to make money like her elder brother.

I don't have much energy to help my mother farm the land.

Hmm... She only has weak spiritual power, but this is what she uses to defend against enemies, so it can't be sold for money.

What else can I sell...

Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look around, and suddenly, she noticed the clump of soil where her eldest brother collected herbs.

Her black and white eyes are bright, she can distinguish herbs, herbs can cure diseases, and she can dig herbs and sell them for money!

Jiaojiao was very happy, Bai Shengsheng raised his face with a smile, and shouted to Xiaoli: "Brother, help Jiaojiao find a big basket."

When Xiao Li heard that his sister wanted it, he dropped the tree and hurried to the front yard to find a basket.

Jiaojiao happily rolled up her sleeves, walked to the side of the slope with her short legs, and carefully searched for herbs.

Xiao Li ran over with an old basket, saw his sister digging grass, frowned and ran over and said, "Sister~ what do you want my brother to dig for you, or my hands will hurt."

Jiaojiao smiled at him, and said softly, "I'm digging herbs, my little brother doesn't know them."

"Brother, dig it." Xiao Li wiped his nose with his sleeve, and rolled up his sleeve vigorously to help.

Jiaojiao nodded while looking for it and said, "Okay, when we encounter herbs with deep roots, my brother will help Jiaojiao dig with a shovel."

Xiao Li scratched his head, "But the shovel was taken away by mother."

"It's okay, little brother, we can dig again when mother comes back."

As soon as Jiaojiao finished speaking, she saw a velvet plant, her eyes lit up immediately, and she reached out to pull it out.

Seeing the small balls in the leaves, Xiao Li was so scared that he grabbed his sister and shouted: "Sister! No, no, this prick is painful."

Xiao Li was so strong that Jiaojiao's wrist was pinched with red marks.

"Brother, let go of me first." Jiaojiao said softly.

Xiao Li also saw that he had made his younger sister's wrist red, and he was so frightened that he withdrew his hand, his simple face was full of anxiety: "Sister ~ brother Huhu, it doesn't hurt or hurt..."

"Brother, Jiaojiao doesn't hurt." Jiaojiao patted Xiaoli reassuringly, pulling her sleeve to cover up the red mark. Then he happily pointed to Abutilon and told the younger brother: "This is called Abutilon, and it is a herbal medicine that can be sold for money. It doesn't prick your hands at all."
