struggle in ancient times

"Father, sister-in-law, I have taken two students in the town, and they may come to study with me next month. Just use the afternoon, I don't know if it's convenient for you." During dinner, the family sat together After eating, Liao Tingyu told the news.

Mrs. Deng was fine, Liao Ming took a sip of his wine, "Where did those two students come from?"

"He's a wealthy businessman in the town. Although his reputation isn't very good, I've met people who are quite good-natured. He's a sensible person, and I only enlighten their children. School, that would be better." Liao Tingyu said.

"Then you plan to take them as disciples." Liao Ming asked.

"No, it's just an enlightenment in our place, and it's natural to have a test first when you come in. After all, this study still depends on whether you have the talent. After all, people are good at different things. If it works, I'd better want to take them."

"Okay then, as long as you have success in your heart, it's fine. I won't say much, but you have to maintain your reputation. No matter if you want to take a step forward, it's always good to have a good reputation." Liao Ming comforted him as someone who had been there.

After all, even if many scholars want to teach students, they choose to study at home and outside the staff, and there are very few wealthy businessmen.

In this world, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and businessmen are at the bottom even though they are rich.

Liao Tingyu also understood very well, after all, which of the students who came out of Qingshan Academy didn't have their heads looking up at the sky.

He is not a saint, but he is not a person of will either. He chooses to use the smallest price to satisfy the higher desire in his heart.

Although it doesn't make much sense to do so, it feels better than anything else.

I greeted my family, but there was no objection, and Mrs. Deng even supported him fully, and planned to let him teach in the study. The light team only needed to set up a table.

In the middle of the night, I slept soundly, but was suddenly awakened by a scream.

Deng got up from the bed, and before she could ask what was going on, she was dragged by Liao Shi and shouted, "Hurry up, mother, hurry up and let the midwife come over, Xiu'er is about to give birth."

Deng didn't even have time to put on her clothes all day, so she ran to the midwife when she put them on.

Because the child has not been well-raised in the early stage, the child is not big, and the time is a little earlier.

During the delivery, Liao Tingyu looked at Liao Shi who was going back and forth so nervous, and listened to the screams in the room, the sound pierced his heart!

Fortunately, the midwife was a very experienced person, Wen Xiu'er gave birth smoothly, and gave birth to the child at dawn.

According to Deng Shi, he is a worry-free child.

The moment the child came out, Liao Shi was ready to catch the child with trembling hands.

But Deng rushed out, knocked off his hand, and kicked Liao Tingyu over.

In this way, Liao Tingyu became the first person in the family to hold the newborn.

Because she had never held a child before, the midwife kept correcting his holding posture, looking at the small, bright red child in her arms, so weak, so soft, obviously very weak, but it made people feel affectionate.

As a father, Liao Shi could only watch helplessly as his younger brother hugged his own son.

In order to see what the child looks like, he has to fight for the position with his father and mother. This father is really aggrieved.

"Oh, look at how cute this kid is." Deng took the child's hand and stretched his fingers into his palm.

"Look, look, this little hand is really strong, ouch, grab it, grab it."

Liao Ming smiled cheerfully, his hands were about to move but he didn't dare to touch them.

The birth of a newborn is always festive, so Deng hung a red cloth on the string of the main entrance of his house.

At the same time, he did not forget to kill an old hen for his family's great hero.

No one can compare to this treatment even after the family is better off, and the most precious second child in the family ate half an old hen.

Wen Xiu'er looked at the chicken soup, and drank it cherishingly, even though she didn't have an appetite, she swallowed hard.

Really can't drink anymore, Deng also said in a soft voice, "Boss daughter-in-law, if you can't drink anymore, I'll let it go for you. If you want to drink any time, just call me and I'll drink it." Warm it up for you. You must do a good job in confinement and eat as much as you can. If you can’t do confinement well, you will only be like me in your whole life. "

Looking at Wen Xiu'er, who had already given birth, Deng felt a little emotional. She remembered when she was young.

Although the mother-in-law is not harsh, but the family background is there, and this confinement has not been half a month before going to work in the fields.

It caused her waist to ache all the time during rainy days. The only luck for her was that after giving birth to her eldest son, she was able to have another son a few years later. Otherwise, she would not know what it would be like.

Liao Shi looked at his son in the cradle, a little sullen, and complained to the father who was sipping wine and looking at his grandson: "Father, I just can't figure out why the son born to my wife won't let me I went to hug, but my second brother hugged me. I practiced for a long time in order to hug the child."

Liao Ming said very calmly: "I hugged you since you were born. Look at your current appearance. Look at your second brother. He was hugged by the village chief. Look at his achievements. I used to follow you I am also ignorant, and when I hugged you, your grandpa has been very angry with me. There is a saying in the older generation that when a child is born, if the first person who holds the child is capable, then the child must be He is a capable man. Unfortunately, by the time I knew this statement, it was already too late."

Liao Ming felt a little sorry for his eldest son. It was because Deng's labor was in a hurry and there was no old man in the family.

Only then did Liao Shi understand, but he didn't believe it: "Father, can this be true? I remember that the dog was held by the second uncle, but the second uncle was admitted to the scholar before, and he is also not very promising. , are you still digging in the ground?"

Liao Ming glanced sideways: "He digs the soil in the field, but he is smart. He was so smart when he was young, you can't compare with him. And if your brother is not capable, you might be worse than him. I also don’t want to think about the fact that there are seven or eight people in his family, only a few acres of Susukida, and he and his brother are able to work. In this case, they can still build a house and buy a few acres of good paddy fields. Do you have that ability?"

Liao Ming thought about opening the big gate all at once, talking incessantly, and popularized some rules and basis for Liao Shi in the village, Liao Shi also felt very reasonable after hearing it.

"You, I've planted a daddy. Although you can't say what you say, you are like a mirror in your heart. Now I hope your child can be as smart as your second brother." Liao Ming looked at the non-stop talking in the cradle. The pouting baby said softly with eyes full.

Liao Shi also understood A Niang's painstaking efforts, and also hoped that his son could enjoy some blessings of Wenquxing, so he didn't worry about it at all, no matter whether he hugged him first or not, anyway, his son will be called his father in the future.

Since the addition of a child in the family, it has become very busy, but there has also been more laughter.

Liao Tingyu looked at the child who kept moving around, and liked to tease him when he was free. Watching the hand waving wildly was very interesting. Sure enough, raising a child is just for playing, and it is a lot of fun!

The child's nickname is Rice Cake, which he had already thought of long ago, but the first name cannot be given until the child is ten years old.

Then engrave the name into the family tree, and when the age of 20 is opened, the ancestral hall will be opened again, and the name will be written on the back of the name.

It was also because of this child that Liao Tingyu felt that his status had plummeted, and Mrs. Deng circled around the child and Wen Xiu'er all day long.

Liao Tingyu said childishly to Mrs. Deng: "Mother, you don't miss me now."

Mrs. Deng was busy pouring goat milk for her grandson. Wen Xiu'er was not in good health and had little milk, so the child didn't have enough to eat. Liao Tingyu simply bought a ewe.

It's just that the smell of sheep is too strong, so I had to ask Mrs. Deng to buy a few catties of tea. This tea is a scarce item, and the teahouse uses only tree leaves. Just a few catties of authentic tea leaves cost a tael of silver.

Every time when goat milk was being boiled, Mrs. Deng would poke it, and even then the tea leaves would decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You are so old, someone will think about it in the future, son, do you have a sweetheart? If so, Auntie will tell you."

"You are too old now, you can't act like a baby in front of A Niang all day long, your elder brother has a baby, and A Niang hopes that you can get one out quickly."

Liao Tingyu was stunned when he heard these words, the whole family probably focused on the marriage between this doll and him.

On Huang Zilan's side, Liao Tingyu didn't know the message, why didn't he know that kid Huang Hao had such a tight mouth before!

In order to avoid thinking wildly, Liao Tingyu had no choice but to buy school supplies for his future students on his own.

Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi also dressed up their children early at the agreed time, and talked about the precautions in their ears.

Mrs. Deng also remembered this incident and asked from time to time: "Is that student of yours coming over in the next few days? Is there anything that needs to be prepared?"

It's a pity that after asking, she was busy with other things, so fast that she thought of asking casually.

Liao Tingyu could only sigh helplessly. Sure enough, he really forgot his precious son when he had a golden grandson.

Listening to his pretending emotions, Mrs. Deng smiled and knocked him on the head, "Don't talk nonsense, why don't I miss you? Drink this chicken soup for yourself. You are such a big man. You still have to talk to children Like. Your sister-in-law's father brought crucian carp, you can take a few sips of fish soup to drink."

"I want to eat pickled fish." Liao Tingyu said.

"Sauerkraut fish?! There is no pickled cabbage at home, and this time there are no big fish, they are all shell eels and the like."

Liao Tingyu opened his eyes and looked at Deng eagerly.

Mrs. Deng cruelly shook her head in Liao Tingyu's pleading eyes, "I'll fry the fish for you, let's talk about it later!"
