In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

The old woman insisted on leaving, but Xu Qi couldn't stop her.

Nian slowly shook his head at her, "Xiaoqi, there are some things that you can't just control if you want to. Everyone has their own destiny, and sometimes interfering is not necessarily a good thing."

Xu Qi lowered his head and said nothing.

"Xiaoqi, let's go." Nian took his arm and walked out.

"Sanwa, do you want to go to school?" Shen Nan suddenly remembered this when passing by the study.

Although Sanwa is not young now and it is a bit late to start studying now, Shen Nan still wants him to receive a systematic education. Even if he is not a scholar, it will be easier to do anything with knowledge.

"Is it really okay? But...but at my age..." Sanwa hesitated.

"What does it matter? Although you are not young, you already know so many words, and you can also count. I believe you are not much worse than others.

As long as you want to go, sister will send you there. It doesn't matter if you start late. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely learn well. I believe in you. "

Sanwa looked at the study in front of her and the students who were walking in and out, wearing uniform student uniforms, with eyes full of yearning.

Seeing this scene, Shen Nan knew what he was thinking, so he planned to go to the city to ask first and then send him in.

"Let's go, I'll take you in to buy some books, and everyone can go buy some and go back to pass the time."

Sanwa followed Shen Nan into the study and bought two sets of books, as well as pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Sanwa is young, but he is very smart. He sees things very quickly and learns everything quickly. Within half a year of escaping, he read all the books Shen Nan gave him, and he is quite proficient in arithmetic. At this level, he He was sure of being sent to the academy.

But he still needs to buy some enlightenment books, otherwise it will be bad if he can't pass the Master's test.

"Sister, what kind of book do I want to read?" Before leaving, Sanwa secretly whispered into Shen Nan's ear.

"That kind of book?" Shen Nan raised his eyebrows in confusion, looking at Sanwa with an inquiring look.

"It's the kind of novel, the kind of book you showed me before, the kind of book that tells a story."

Shen Nan thought for a moment and said, "Then go buy it."

"Mom, sister, you go to the car and wait while Sanwa and I buy two more books." Shen Nan said to them.

"Okay then." Nian responded and took Xu Qi and Shen Yue to wait in the carriage. Nian was helped by Xu Qi into another carriage.

The books of this era were all in classical Chinese, which she didn't like, so she just sat on a stool nearby and waited for Sanwa to pick out a book.

"Tsk, how old are you, and you still read children's books!" Just when Shen Nan was falling asleep, a young male voice sounded in the quiet room, with a strong sense of disgust.

Shen Nan turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a student about twelve or thirteen years old sitting on a chair and reading a thick book.

"I haven't seen it, can't I buy it?" Sanwa asked.

"Isn't it embarrassing for you to read this kind of book at your age? Do you still want to go to school?" The boy's guess was obviously correct.

"Child, is it possible that if you didn't study when you were a child, you won't be able to study when you grow up? Not everyone is like you and has the opportunity to study since you were a child." Shen Nan slowly stood up and said to the boy in a suitable voice.

The boy choked on Shen Nan's words, his bright black eyes widened, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "But he only studies at such an old age, so he will definitely not be able to keep up with his peers."

"Who said I just started studying? I have been studying for half a year and can read." Sanwa retorted.

"If you haven't entered the academy, what good can you learn? I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the academy." The boy glanced at him with disdain.

Sanwa was not convinced: "Why don't you give it a try and see if I can get into the academy."

The boy choked at Shen Nan's words.

"Don't you dare to gamble?" Sanwa asked him.

"Why don't you dare? I'm at Qingshan Academy, the best academy in Lingzhou. If you can get in, how about I kneel down and call you big brother?"

"Okay, this is what you said, but you have to go down and tell us. Let's find some witnesses. Otherwise, what will happen if you cheat?"

"Just look for me. I, An Yijie, do what I say. I still don't believe it. How can you, a person who has never read a book, be admitted to Qingshan Academy?"

"But let's talk about it first. What if you don't get in?" An Yijie is not stupid. He knows how to ask Sanwa for a promise.

Sanwa raised her lips and said with a smile: "If I fail to pass the exam, I will recognize you as my eldest brother."

"Haha, this is what you said, don't go back on it, otherwise don't blame me for bullying you, a little brat." An Yijie laughed.

His laughter spread throughout the study, attracting many people's attention.

However, An Yijie was not ashamed. He took Sanwa to the lobby on the first floor and told everyone about their bet and asked them to bear witness.

A group of people were talking around them.

"Who is this kid? How can he be so arrogant? He has never read a book before, yet he still dares to make a bet with Mr. An."

"Yes, I heard that he is going to be admitted to Qingshan Academy? I really don't know how much he weighs."

"Look at the rags that the child is wearing. I guess his family is not well off. From what they said, the child has never read a book, and he still wants to bet with Mr. An. I think he is tired of life."

The discussion among the people made Sanwa very embarrassed. But when he thought about his bet with An Yijie, he suddenly gained a little more confidence.

He believed that with his memory and the knowledge he had learned before, he would be able to get into Qingshan Academy.

"Okay, let's go, you continue." Shen Nan stepped forward, pulled Sanwa, waved to everyone, and walked out.

After Shen Nan left, everyone resumed their chatting.

"Who is that person? He is quite beautiful."

"That's right, she is indeed a beauty."

"I advise you not to have any ideas about her. After all, she is my second brother's biological sister." An Yijie stood up and said. At this time, he had already acquiesced that the third baby would lose to him.

......

Shen Nan and Sanwa left the study and got directly into the carriage.

They bought hundreds of kilograms of grain and hundreds of kilograms of pork at the grocery store, bought some clothes for no one, and finally ordered a batch of furniture before heading to the village.

Sanwa was extremely excited along the way. He was still a little hesitant at first, but now he made a bet with An Yijie. He must work hard to study hard and get admitted to Qingshan Academy so that he can go there soon. Read a book.

On the carriage, Nian and others also heard about Sanwa's bet with others, but they thought it was a good thing and could stimulate Sanwa to be more motivated.

Back in the village, when they passed by the entrance of the village, they saw a group of refugees on the east side of the village. They were too far away and couldn't see what those people looked like.

I guess these are the villagers the refugees talked about yesterday. They really want to settle here.
