After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

There was no plaque at the door of the shop chosen by Chen Dongyue, only a tattered cover that said: pen, ink, paper and inkstone, books and antiques.

"Why do you need to buy pens and ink again? We don't have a scholar in our family. Why are we buying these?"

Song Ke, who followed Chen Dongyue in, complained endlessly.

But his complaints were worthless.

Chen Dongyue should buy it or have to buy it.

Fortunately, she didn't have any personal requirements for pens, inks, paper and inkstones. As long as she could write, she bought relatively cheap items, three pens, a set of inkstones and ink sticks, two pieces of medium-low rice paper, and a book. Hundreds of surnames cost Chen Dongyue seven coins in total.

"Good boy..." Song Yang was like a little boy, holding a bunch of things and following Chen Dongyue and continued to talk: "There are no literate people in our family, why are you buying these? No matter how much money you have, , I can’t bear the flowers..."

"That's enough Song Yang!!" Chen Dongyue, who couldn't bear it anymore, covered her head and stopped, "Just because we are illiterate, we have to buy a school! I'm warning you, I still have a dozen taels of silver left in my hand. , if you keep nagging me, I will spend all the money today."

"You!!! How dare???" Song Yang asked uncontrollably.

Chen Dongyue glared and put her hands on her hips, raising her chin, "See if I dare!!!"

"...Let's go, go home, go home..." Song Yang really didn't dare to challenge this shrew, after all...she should really dare to All twenty taels of silver were spent in one day!

Che~~ Chen Dongyue snorted softly, thinking that you are still nagging~~~ but without any delay, she walked towards the inn where Song Dezhu was stored.

She estimated that the grain and oil from the grain store and the cotton from the cloth store should be delivered soon. After checking and loading the car in a while, they would be able to get home before dark.

"Hey~~the two in front~~~"

Suddenly a male voice came from behind Chen Dongyue and the others.

Neither Chen Dongyue nor Song Yang thought they were being called, so even if they heard the sound, they did not look back, nor did they slow down because of it.

The man who was following them and calling for someone had no choice but to run a few steps and catch up...

"Hey, you two!!"

The man was panting and stood in front of Chen Dongyue, "Please stay!"

"What are you doing?" Chen Dongyue stopped, narrowed her eyes, and asked with a wary face.

When times are bad, public security will deteriorate.

Although the man in front of me looks like a grasshopper, he doesn't look like a robber...but what if he is a fraudster?

Must be on guard!

Song Yang on the side was even more nervous than Chen Dongyue, "You...what are you doing?! Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is a woman who can take off a cow's horns with one slap, but you...are capable of robbery?" He was beaten to death by my sister-in-law!"

? ? ? Chen Dongyue looked at Song Yang in disbelief. She slightly suspected that this boy was trying to attract hatred for her.

Fortunately, that grasshopper, uh, no, the man waved his hand and explained: "I misunderstood, I misunderstood, you two misunderstood... I just passed by here, and I happened to hear that your whole family is illiterate... .”

"Whose whole family is illiterate?" Song Yang frowned and refused, "Your whole family is illiterate!"

Illiterate people also have self-esteem.

........The man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly added: "No, I mean, if you need help, sir, I can recommend myself."

"What's wrong with Maosun?" Song Yang frowned and asked Chen Dongyue in a low voice.

Chen Dongyue's eyes darkened. She originally didn't want to pay attention to this grasshopper man, but she suddenly changed her mind.

This guy is thirteen years old and doesn’t even understand an idiom. How can he still have one? !

Although Chen Dongyue has no need to rely on Song Yang, as fake family members, they are tied together now.

Chen Dongyue always felt a little unsafe being a teammate with an illiterate person. After all, what if I need to write a letter or note in the future, and this guy can’t understand it at all? !

If this gentleman is reliable and cheap, it's not impossible to hire him.

She asked Song Yang to stay, and then asked the man, "Have you passed the exams and achieved any fame?"

The man smiled bitterly: "If I had fame, I wouldn't live in such a miserable state... This strong woman..."

"Who are you calling a strong woman?" Chen Dongyue cursed.

"Oh no, no, no," the man waved his hand quickly, "This female... boss, haha. To tell you the truth, when my family was well off, I did study for several years. I passed the exam at the age of ten. , I took the provincial examination at the age of fourteen, but unfortunately I was only one level away from being a scholar, and now I can only be regarded as half a scholar.

I originally wanted to study for a few more years and take the exam again, but my family is really... unsustainable now. There is only an old mother left in the family, and I can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands.

There used to be a study room where you could copy books and exchange them for money, but now this study house can't sell many books, so my livelihood has become a problem.

I just passed by the study and overheard the two of you chatting, so I wanted to ask if you are missing a husband at home? "

"No shortage." Song Yang immediately refused.

Their stomachs are almost full now, and they are still short of chicken feathers, sir? !

But Chen Dongyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "How do you restrain yourself?"

"Just watch and give it." The half-scholar said vaguely.

"Oh... forget it, I don't want it." After Chen Dongyue finished speaking, she winked at Song Yang who was standing aside, and the two of them started to leave.

The half-scholar hurriedly shouted: "As long as I have food and shelter, an oil lamp at night, and three buckets of grain every month, I can support my mother!"

Seeing Chen Dongyue stop, half a scholar hurriedly ran up and continued: "Nowadays, the world is difficult, and I just want to concentrate on studying for a few more years.

By the way, if the hostess doesn't believe it, you can go to my house and have a look. My house is in the alley ahead.

In addition, my name is Li Yiming, and the records of the childbirth examination and county examination I participated in are recorded in the county government office.

The clerk in charge of their household registration documents is still my former classmate, and we can check it now..."

"....Then let's check the files first. If what you say is true, then I will ask you to be our teacher for Xiaomi and my uncle." Chen Dongyue thought for a while and then said: " By the way, you have to teach me to write."

Li Xiucai was stunned and couldn't understand for a moment what the difference was between being a teacher and teaching writing.

But this is not important.

The important thing is that he seems to have really found a job for himself.

So Li Xiucai nodded desperately, "Okay, okay, you two come with me. The civil servants haven't even left the office yet, so we can still make it in time!"

"No... How can our family afford a table?!" Song Yang was somewhat doubtful about what he said to himself.

Why do you want to be called a mat when you are obviously a teacher?

why?

Chen Dongyue sighed, "That's why we need to hire a teacher."

"Huh?! What?" Song Yang didn't understand Chen Dongyue's answer at all.

However, no one cared about his confusion.

After some bargaining, yes, sir, you also have to bargain. Although the price offered by this gentleman is indeed not high, Chen Dongyue will not let anyone raise the price.

In short, the two finally agreed that Li Xiucai would be provided with food and accommodation, but he would only have two meals a day, and he could not choose what to eat. Chen Dongyue would only give him two buckets of grain every month, plus two baskets of vegetables, regardless of the variety of vegetables.

You must know that Song Haopo and his wife can pick up two baskets of vegetables per acre of land, not to mention two baskets per month, even two baskets a day, so it is more cost-effective for Chen Dongyue to trade vegetables for food.

Li Xiucai felt that the conditions offered by Chen Dongyue were not too harsh. After all, he had few people to teach, food and accommodation were provided, and he could support his mother. In addition, he still had time to study for classes, which was already considered very good. A job.

You must know that food prices are so high now that it is difficult for people like him who are not even scholars and can't do any physical work to make a living in the county.

So after the two reached an agreement, they immediately went to the county government office to find a clerk to check the file. Sure enough, Li Yiming was indeed a child, and he did not pass the scholar examination by one level.

After going to the county government office, Li Xiucai said he wanted to pack his luggage and say goodbye to his mother, so he took Chen Dongyue and the others back home to meet his mother.

Li Xiucai's home is indeed as he said, living in a large courtyard at the end of the alley.

Although the mother of the Li family looks thin, she is still energetic. She said that she usually makes a living doing laundry for wealthy families, but now the laundry business is not very good, so her son has to go out to find work.

Seeing that everything was okay, Chen Dongyue took out fifty copper coins and gave it to the old lady, saying that because there were less than twenty days left in the month, the fifty copper coins allowed her to buy food by herself, even if Li Xiucai This month’s bundle is repaired.

The old lady accepted the coin with great gratitude and told her son to teach well, and then the three of them returned to the inn.

At this time, the waiters from the grain store and the cloth store were waiting outside the inn. Song Yang and Chen Dongyue hurriedly counted the grains and quickly loaded all the grains they bought into the truck.

Li Xiucai's eyes shone when he saw the cart full of grain. He said he was grateful that he could take this step and that he had found a good employer this time.

Although...the female boss looks hard to mess with, but judging from her physique, the food in the house must be good! ! Li Xiucai was very satisfied with his shameless behavior.
