Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Mr. Zhuang was thinking while holding his teacup. He tilted his head and looked out of the window, because the sun is good today. Although it is cold, it is the time when the sun is at its best.

So the windows were wide open to let in the sunlight, and the sunlight was right on the table in front of Mr. Zhuang.

His hand holding the teacup was right in the beam of light, as if he was holding the sun.

Amidst the misty fragrance of tea, Mr. Zhuang's voice was also somewhat ethereal, he said: "You also know, I am bringing Bai Shan and Bai Cheng with me now, one of them is at Guozixue, the other is at Taixue, and Given their family background, it is inevitable to become an official."

He said: "You don't have to worry about Ji An being taken care of after he enters the officialdom, because of our family's affection, they will definitely take care of Ji An."

Mr. Zhuang raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Dalang who was thinking, and said softly: "Dalang, being a father is not obsessed with being an official, nor does he have any big ambitions for his children to fulfill. I, like you, want them to live in the future." Live better."

"You are indeed living a stable life in the Zhang family, but after all, you are dependent on others. This is not a long-term solution."

Seeing his frown, Mr. Zhuang clicked to stop, and then said: "I still mean the same thing, if you don't want Ji An to go to the capital with me, why don't you send him to the county school, where he will study for a few more years and take the exam?" Ke, if you father and son really don't want to enter the county government, you can go to the Zhang family."

He said: "You are in your prime, and you can do it for another 20 or 30 years. Why rush to bring Ji An by your side to practice?"

When Mr. Zhuang said this, Zhuang Dalang finally calmed down and thought about it. He hesitated and said, "But Ji An couldn't get into the county school..."

"I will find a way to let him enroll as an auditor. Don't worry, he can learn as he wants." Mr. Zhuang said: "He may be worse in other studies, but he is not bad in arithmetic. As long as he can keep up with this course, Neither the teachers nor the students in the school will take him lightly."

Zhuang Dalang hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that persuading his son was more difficult than teaching a few children to read for a month.

But this is also an improvement.

Mr. Zhuang said that if he wanted to send Zhuang Ji'an to the county school, he would really be able to.

He has been running the business for many years after he returned to his hometown. At the beginning, there were indeed people talking about him in private, but no one mentioned it anymore.

He has friends in Luojiang County and even more friends in Mianzhou, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recommend Bai Dalang to go to school in Mianzhou.

After Mr. Zhuang came back, he found someone, and as long as he gave a sum of money, he could let Zhuang Ji'an attend the county school.

However, he avoided Zhuang Dalang and called Zhuang Ji'an into the study, "Although you can attend the county school, it's better to get in by yourself. Your ability is limited now, but you can study for another year. Next year, no, it's the future." years."

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "You can go for the exam next spring."

He handed the five books he had sorted out to Zhuang Ji'an, and said with a smile, "I've made annotations on it, you can read it, and if you don't understand, you can ask your husband. If you want to learn, don't be afraid to ask, you know?"

Zhuang Ji'an respectfully complied.

Only then did Mr. Zhuang let him leave.

Although Mrs. Zhuang objected to her son leaving with his father-in-law, she did not object to his son entering the county school. Instead, she was very happy and asked Zhuang Dalang quietly, "Father can let Ji An enter the county school, what about Ji Ran?"

Zhuang Dalang: ...

He couldn't help but give his wife a blank look, "What are you thinking, how old is Ji Ran? Besides, the county school is not run by our family, and my father didn't know how much favor and money it took to put Ji An in, you Don't think about it, if you want Ji Ran to enroll, let him study hard and take the exam by himself."

He thinks it’s okay to fail the exam, as long as he can read and write, and knows how to do arithmetic and accounting, it’s quite easy to find jobs.

Mrs. Zhuang couldn't help asking, "Did it cost a lot?"

Zhuang Dalang let out a "hmm".

Mrs. Zhuang's heart ached, and she leaned on Zhuang Dalang and asked, "How much did it cost, and how much money does father-in-law still have?"

Zhuang Dalang glanced at her and said: "Didn't dad give me fifty taels of silver when I came back? I asked the dental dealer in the past two days, and there is no one selling fields around the county. I will go to another place to look around later, farther away." It's okay, after buying the field, find someone to cultivate it, you should take care of the house, how is the spring clothes you made for father..."

That's how I changed the subject.

When Mr. Zhuang came to Beijing, he sold all the land in his family. All the money the farmer made in these years, besides the children's education expenses, was to buy land.

Even if Zhuang Dalang doesn't farm, he can farm for tenant farmers. Although there are not many, it is still a family business.

Although Mrs. Zhuang was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything else. She knew that although they accepted gifts from outside, her husband didn't like her asking for money from her father-in-law.

The Zhuang family didn't keep the New Year's Eve, but the old Zhou's family all kept the New Year's Eve in the main room.

There are too many people in the family, especially the children, who are so noisy that the adults can hardly hear each other.

Zhou Dalang was furious, and waved his hand directly for the children to go back to his room to play.

It was impossible to go back to their own house. The children grabbed candies and ran out to the small courtyard to play together. Man Bao was not very old, so he ran away with them.

The main room, which was originally as lively as a vegetable market, was only left with adults, and not a single child could be seen.

Sanya also helped to carry the youngest Batou to play.

Manbao's room was the most spacious, so everyone went into her room together, and Santou took a brazier from the kitchen and directly warmed the fire in the room.

Sitou dragged out a small bag of yam beans from nowhere, picked up a dozen or so and roasted them in the brazier.

He vowed to Man Bao, "Roasted yam beans are especially delicious."

Apparently, they usually cook secretly.

Although it wasn't long after he was full, Man Bao still swallowed.

The five younger ones took toys from the aunt's shelf and came down to play, forming a style of their own, while the older ones from Manbao sat on the edge of the brazier and talked while roasting yam beans.

Zhou Liwei asked: "Kaichun Lixue wants to go to the capital with us?"

Man Bao nodded, "I want Lixue to study in the capital, and I will also be admitted to the Imperial College in the future."

With so many children in their family, Zhou Lixue is the only boy who can be seen to be a better student.

Sanya on the side looked up at her brother, and said proudly: "Second brother, I'm going to the capital with my sister-in-law too."

Zhou Liwei was stunned, he really didn't know about it.

Man Bao also patted his head, "I forgot to tell my second brother and second sister-in-law, I will talk about it tomorrow, Sanya, remember to remind me."

The four heads who were waiting for the yam and beans to ripen were startled, looked at the third brother, then at the third sister, and asked in disbelief, "Then I'm the only one left in the family?"

"Aren't the five heads human?"

Sitou said unhappily: "They are so young, it is impossible for them to study with me."

The four-headed Zhou Ligu is only a few months younger than the third-ya Zhou Liru. The two grew up together and studied at the same table.

Man Bao looked at Zhou Ligu, then at Zhou Lixue, and said, "Why don't you go around too?"
