As for the reasons for the family's weakness, it's actually not that complicated. There is no conspiracy or frame-up. It's just that Si Xiu's grandfather is seriously ill. Even in modern times, a serious illness is a big burden for an ordinary family, let alone a lack In ancient times when there were few doctors and few medicines, the property of the Si family had decreased visibly.

After more than half a year, Si Xiu's grandfather did not survive, and was only 47 years old when he died.

Si Xiu's father, Si Pei, was the eldest son. He was only 19 years old at the time. The reason why the age gap between father and son was so large in ancient times was that Si Xiu's grandfather was busy with fame. No one thought that such a situation would happen, so Si Pei was not very mature when his father died.

Moreover, there was Si Xiu's grandfather standing in front of him before, and Si Pei didn't pay much attention to his studies because of his backing. Si Lai, the younger brother, is only 12 years old, and he only knows how to eat and play all day long, so he can't be counted on. Therefore, there is no reliable male to take the lead, and the Si family's family business quickly declines.

The farmers and students who were affiliated with before quickly distanced themselves from the old Si family.

Later, in order to save money, the Si family's house in the county and the original servants were also sold, and the whole family moved to the current house in the village.

Although such a house is considered luxurious enough by the villagers, the Si family members who once enjoyed the splendor are not satisfied, and they only want to restore their original affluent life, especially Si Xiu's grandmother, Si Zhang, and Si Xiu's father, Si Pei. However, as for Si Xiu's younger uncle, Si Lai, it may be that he was still young when the family accident happened, and he didn't have a deep impression, so he is the one who adapts best to the Si family's situation.

However, the best choice for ordinary people in order to cross the class and change families as quickly as possible is to study the imperial examinations. Si Pei thinks that it is the material for studying, and Si Zhang also thinks so, so he decides to support Si Pei with all his family. .

Si Lai's biggest advantage is that he is obedient. Usually, the decisions made by his mother and elder brother will not be refuted.Moreover, he was not very good at reading since he was a child, so he had no intention of objecting to the decision of his mother and brother. Therefore, all along, it was Si Lai who worked to make money, and Si Pei used the money to study.

When Si Pei first started working hard to study, he might have been really talented. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of 22, which can be regarded as a success at a young age. At that time, many people valued his potential and showed affection to him. Xiu's mother Si Li, the daughter of an old scholar, got married.

I don't need to go into details about how glorious Si Pei was at that time, but after that, it seemed like all the good things had been used up, and Si Pei still hasn't passed the exam until now, and now, Si Pei is 34 years old.

As Si Pei failed in repeated tests, the people around him were not as affectionate to him as before. At least, Si Pei's father-in-law had become more and more perfunctory towards him as a son-in-law. With this grandson here, the situation may be even worse.

It’s not that no one has ever persuaded Si Pei to give up the imperial examination. It is also a way out to settle down and become a teacher or an accountant. However, neither Si Zhang nor Si Pei accept this point of view, so Si Pei still focuses on studying now. Industry.

Fortunately, Mrs. Si Zhang still has some means at home, and the dissatisfaction with the family members, or pressure or persuasion, also made the family members accept this reality.

However, Si Xiu felt that everyone's patience had a limit, and after a few years, Si Zhang couldn't hold back, and sooner or later he would rebound.

Now, Si Xiu's younger uncle, Si Lai, is still very obedient, but Si Xiu's younger aunt, Si Yang, has some opinions.

But this is also human nature. Si Yang’s name was Yang Honghua before she married, and she was an ordinary peasant girl. Si Xiu’s grandmother, Si Zhang, always thought that Yang Honghua was not good enough for her youngest son, and had always had a lot of opinions on Yang Honghua. Only Si Li, the eldest daughter-in-law from a scholarly family, was in his eyes.

In fact, Si Li is indeed gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable, but what is the use of all this?

Si Pei doesn't stay at home all year round, and Si Li's family is not a very capable person. The Si family's income usually depends on the youngest son and youngest daughter-in-law to make money.

Who wants to work hard all day long, put his own money into the public office and support another big family, the key is that there is nothing good.

Si Xiu felt that he could still understand his little aunt's psychology.

The reason why Yang Honghua doesn't say anything now is that Sixiu's grandma has a strong prestige and has suppressed all the different opinions in the family. Due to filial piety, Yang Honghua can't do anything, and the other is that Yang Honghua's husband, Si Lai, is too obedient. From the words of the mother and elder brother, they have no opinion on the status quo, and definitely disagree with Yang Honghua's ideas. Yang Honghua doesn't even have a supporter at home.

The last one is that Yang Honghua and Si Lai have been married for many years, but they only gave birth to two daughters, Dani and Erni, and they don't even have a son, so they feel that they have no confidence at home.As for the elder sister-in-law Si Li, although she was late to conceive, she got a man in one fell swoop, so where is the reasoning?
If Yang Honghua had her own son, she would definitely try to overcome the previous two points, and no matter what, she couldn't let her precious son suffer in the future.

But she didn't, so she could only accept her fate.

No matter what the future holds, at present, Si Xiu, the only eldest grandson, is the treasure and jewel in the hands of the elders in the family. He is afraid of melting if he holds it in his mouth, and afraid of falling if he holds it in his hand. What's more, Si Xiu is seriously ill now. Healed for the first time, made the people around him wary of him.

In the days that followed, Si Xiu had an unbelievably comfortable life.

Everyone in the family is busy, and now Si Xiu is also familiar with the family. He knows that his uncle Si Lai works as a carpenter in the town, and he will go home to help when the farming is busy. Thanks to her for taking care of it.Dani Erni also hunts pigweed, finds wild vegetables, and feeds chickens and ducks every day.

The people in the second room are so busy, it seems that the first room has a leisurely life, but Si Xiu's mother, Si Li, is not doing nothing, she can't do hard work, but she also has to clean up the house inside and out, especially It is a daily meal, and it must be done well.

In terms of division of labor, Si Xiu's grandma, Si Zhang, is very clear and fair, which is the biggest reason why her son and daughter-in-law listen to her.

Of course, no matter how fair a person is usually, when he meets Si Xiu, a precious golden grandson, he forgets all principles, but everyone has no objection to this point.

Si Xiu obviously lives in the farmhouse, but he has delicate skin and tender flesh all over his body. Since he was a child, he has never held anything heavier than a book.

Fortunately, Si Xiu's personality is quite sensible, he is usually considerate to the elders in the family, and very friendly to his sisters, and he is quite smart, no matter what he learns quickly.

Now that the core has been changed in his body, Si Xiu's performance can only be better.

This also made the family's attitude towards Si Xiu better, and their pampering went up to a higher level. Fortunately, Si Xiu's psychology has matured, so he won't just be spoiled like this.

During this period, Si Xiu also met the original body's father, Si Pei.

Si Pei should be the epitome of other scholars in this world. He is thin and elegant, and he is usually unsmiling. He only cares about the serious business of studying. Apart from being a bit small to his mother and Si Xiu, he treats his first wife, Si Xiu. Li Shi is also indifferent.

But seeing Si Li's appearance, he was used to this state, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.
