Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

There were steady footsteps.

Mrs. Lin and the others quickly stood up straight and bowed their heads slightly, with respectful expressions on their faces.

"What are you all standing for? Everyone, please sit down."

The voice is smooth and gentle.

Cheng Wan followed the voice and looked over, only to see that the person was wearing a gray gown, with a gray beard and obvious wrinkles on his face. It was obvious that he was already quite old.

But he has a tall and straight posture, a smile on his face, and kind eyebrows. His whole person has the elegant temperament of a scholar.

Cheng Daniu looked at Mr. Fang in a daze as he walked past him, and couldn't help but think to himself: "That's right, Mr. Fang should be like this."

Mr. Fang sat down at the top. Seeing Mrs. Lin and the others still standing, he stretched out an arm in a gesture of invitation, "Everyone, please take a seat."

Three new families came to the village, especially the family named Cheng who had just had a big fight with the Tian family.

Although Mr. Fang doesn't go out much, he still knows what's going on in the village.

Mr. Fang has a good impression of the Cheng family.

He doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either. If something goes wrong, he can still solve it.

Mr. Fang paid a little attention to the Cheng family. After knowing that the Cheng family was preparing to give a ceremony, he guessed that the Cheng family had children who would be sent to school.

This is also the reason why Mr. Fang's servant just opened the door and saw the Cheng family and asked if they would send their children to school to study and read.

Mr. Fang has explained this in advance.

It has to be said that this living room is really not small, and the entire Cheng family actually found a place to sit down.

In situations like this, Cheng Wan has never been able to, nor does he want to deliberately seek to make a presence known.

Cheng Wan held Gu Yu and sat quietly aside, listening to Cheng Daniu and Mr. Fang talking.

"Mr. Fang, our family has just settled in Pingnan Village not long ago. We came here today because we want our two children to come to your place to study and read. Sanping and Zhuangzhuang, come here quickly."

Cheng Sanping and Li Zhuang took a few steps forward and bowed to Mr. Fang in a serious manner.

I asked Xu Zhinian for advice in advance and have been practicing at home for two days.

Mr. Fang nodded slightly, looked at Cheng Sanping and Li Zhuang, and asked gently: "What's your name? How old are you? Have you read any books before?"

Mrs. Lin and the others' hearts suddenly lifted.

With the conditions at home in the past, it was impossible to study.

In the past two days, while Xu Zhinian was in the village and there were ready-made books at home, I learned to recognize a few words.

Cheng Sanping bowed his hands to Mr. Fang, his face calm and calm.

"Sir, my name is Cheng Sanping. I am seven years old this year. My family used to be poor and I did not have the opportunity to read and write. I have only learned a few words in the past two days. As for reading, I am far from talking about it."

Li Zhuang imitated Cheng Sanping's example, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, my name is Li Zhuang. I am nine years old. I haven't read any books. I just recognized five characters."

Mr. Fang touched his beard with one hand, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "Want to study?"

Cheng Sanping raised his head and looked at Mr. Fang, his voice still childish, but extremely firm.

"I want to, sir, I want to study, I want to gain fame, I want to protect my loved ones, I want to bless other people."

Li Zhuang scratched his head with an innocent and frank smile on his face.

"I also want to study and develop my skills, so that my father and mother don't have to work so hard, and my little sister won't be bullied when she gets married in the future."

There was silence in the hall for a while.

Cheng Wan looked at the two tall figures in front of him, and was shocked to realize that they were far more mature and more heart-wrenching than she thought.

Wang blinked her eyes hard twice, suppressing the heat surging in her eyes.

This little son, who had always had a low sense of presence, had grown up into this person that she was proud of without even realizing it.

Aunt Cheng secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers. Li Sanzhu patted the back of Aunt Cheng's hand gently. The couple looked at each other and smiled together.

Mr. Fang, who was at the top, stroked his beard and also smiled, "Shu Xiu, please hand them over. I will accept these two students."

Mrs. Lin, Cheng Daniu and the others were instantly overjoyed and quickly put Shu Xiu, who had been carrying him, on the table.

Cheng Wan also had a comfortable smile on his face, thinking: "It seems that Mr. Fang's reputation is not in vain."

Cheng Wanhui naturally didn't think that Mr. Fang was a good person because he took in his two children.

After a while of observation, Cheng Wan felt that no matter how good Mr. Fang was at teaching, at least he was very comfortable with others.

In fact, seeing Mr. Fang like this, Cheng Wan thought for a moment whether she should try to get Cheng Xiaoyu and the others to study and read in the school.

But in the next moment, Cheng Wan rejected the idea.

Regardless of whether Mr. Fang and the rest of the family would agree, Cheng Xiaoyu and the others would be too costly to study and read in the same school as boys.

People live in certain social relationships, and not many people can completely ignore the opinions and evaluations of the outside world and do what they like to do.

That requires great courage and determination.

The key is that after putting in courage and determination, the consequences may not be something Cheng Xiaoyu and the others can afford.

Strange looks from outsiders and worldly rumors can crush people.

Until the general environment changes, it is safer to follow the rules.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Fang, the Cheng family left the school.

On the way home, the whole family was very excited.

Old Mrs. Lin smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. "Who would have thought that one day our family would be able to become a scholar? This is really great news. I have to tell the old man this good news later and let him be there." My son is also very happy, and by the way, let him continue to bless our lives to be better and better!"

"Milk, should we build a house next?"

Cheng Wan reminded Mrs. Lin.

Old Mrs. Lin smiled even more happily, "Build! Take the time to build the new house so that you can marry your eldest brother."

Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping froze, and Xu Zhinian also paused slightly.

Mrs. Wang glanced at her eldest son who didn't look right, and tentatively said to Mrs. Lin: "Mom, regarding Daping's marriage, how about we wait a little longer? Daping is the boss after all, and his daughter-in-law will be responsible for it in the future." What do you think will happen to the family if the person who takes on the responsibility of the eldest sister-in-law returns from a bad marriage?"

As her own mother, Wang had long discovered the abnormal behavior of Cheng Daping when facing Xu Zhinian.

As someone who has been there, there is nothing I don’t understand.

Mrs. Wang had never mentioned this matter before. First, she felt that she didn’t know how to persuade her son to stop having such wishful thinking. It would be too hurtful. The second is that there seems to be no need to mention it. The two of them are separated and return to their own lives, and the little relationship will naturally fade away.

But looking at the current situation, Wang felt that it would be very painful for Cheng Daping to marry him at this time, and it would also be unfair to the girl Cheng Daping wanted to marry.

It's better to wait.
