Lingshu had no choice but to summon up all his energy to persuade himself to be a mother-in-law, acted like a baby to his own mother-in-law, and said with a bit of childish shyness, "Mother, actually... Actually, I don't like any girls in the village... I want to earn more money, and when I have money, I will marry someone from a rich family..."

Chen Guihua was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said to the family members: "Oh, look, our family Lingshu has ambition! Success! Mother supports you! My family Lingshu is so handsome, if he has some family background My son, I'm afraid I can really marry into the girl's house from a wealthy family!"

Yan Youfu is a guy who doesn't have any opinions. He agrees with whatever his wife says, and when he heard this, he happily said: "Osmanthus fragrans is right! When the time comes, let's marry Lingshu to a young lady from the town. , then the whole village must envy our family!"

Just thinking about the envious and jealous eyes of the villagers made Yan Youfu feel light-headed.

Yan Dachuan said: "Lingshu knows her own number, parents, you should stop worrying about it."

He had seen through early in the morning that the little boy he picked up on the mountain must have a great background. Although the clothes he was wearing at that time were weird, but the material was very good to the touch. He had never seen such a material before. .

Lingshu has only been here for a long time, and he can turn the mountain fruit that everyone doesn't eat into delicious food, and earn so much money for the family. Just because of this, his parents shouldn't talk about Lingshu's private life. No one can make decisions for Lingshu when it comes to major life events such as pointing fingers and getting married.

To put it bluntly, their family did have a life-saving grace for Lingshu, but Lingshu was grateful and was willing to stay and help the Yan family. To be honest, Lingshu had already repaid this kindness.

No, I still have to tell my parents in private that I can't interfere with Lingshu like this in the future, otherwise that kind of kindness will be over, and maybe it will become an enemy.

After all, Chen Lanzhi is also a clever person, she understood her man's thoughts almost instantly, and joked: "Our family already has Liangliang and Wan'er, so it's possible that parents dislike Liangliang and Wan'er, and want to Do you want a handsome grandson like Lingshu?"

Lingshu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Liangliang and Wan'er are both smart and graceful. My marriage is not in a hurry, and I won't be able to bring in too many children. Let's raise Liangliang and Wan'er well first!"

Knowing that her daughter-in-law was joking, Chen Guihua laughed and scolded: "What are you talking about, Liangliang and Wan'er are my grandchildren! Liangliang Wan'er, come, grandma hugs you, grandma likes you the most."

The two little ones threw themselves into Chen Guihua's arms, and Chen Guihua hugged one of them, smiling from ear to ear.

Yan Dachuan pondered for a while, and said after deliberation: "Now our family has a little wealth, and Liangliang is also six years old. I was thinking, should I send Liangliang to school? If I can be a scholar..."

He had been thinking about this matter for several days, and the husband and wife had discussed it, so he brought it up when the whole family was around.

It doesn't matter how promising Liangliang can be, as long as he can be a scholar, then the Yan family can feel proud!

Going to school is of course a good thing, and the old couple Yan Youfu and Chen Guihua naturally agree with both hands and feet.

"Okay, Da Chuan will take Liang Liang to the village school as soon as he catches up tomorrow. We Liang Liang are so smart, we will definitely be admitted as a scholar!"

Lingshu knew what being a scholar in the Daqing Dynasty meant. Once farmers like them got the fame of being a scholar, they would not only be exempted from personal corvee, but would also not have to kneel down when meeting the county magistrate. For ordinary people, this is a big deal. glory.

In the past, the Yan family was poor and couldn't afford the tuition fees. Naturally, no one thought about sending Liang Liang to school. Now it's different. The money they earn these days gives the Yan family the confidence to let Liang Liang go to school no matter what. Liang went to school.

Liangliang understood what the adults said, her eyes sparkled, and she asked expectantly, "Father, am I going to school?"

"Yes." Yan Dachuan patted his son's head with a happy face, "You have to learn from your husband."

"I'm going to school!" Liangliang's whole face lit up, and he excitedly tugged on grandma's sleeve, "Grandma, I'm going to school!"

Wan'er on the side saw her brother so happy, so she naturally thought it was a good thing to go to school, so she said bluntly, "I want to go too! Wan'er wants to go too!"

"What kind of school do girls go to?" Chen Guihua said, "Wan'er will follow your mother to learn how to show, and we will find a good husband's family in the future!"

The little girl Wan'er was unhappy when she heard that, her eyes were red, and she asked in a childish voice: "Why can my brother go? I want to go to school too!"

In this day and age, boys are favored over girls, and women who have no talent are virtues. There are no country girls who can read, unless they are girls from wealthy and scholarly families, they will learn to read and write.

Chen Lanzhi hugged her daughter and coaxed her: "We Wan'er don't need to go to school, can we learn embroidery from mother? It's hard to read and it's not fun at all. Embroidery is much easier."

"Is embroidery fun?" Wan'er raised her watery eyes and asked.

"It's fun. When the time comes, Wan'er can show off a beautiful purse to her parents, grandparents, uncle, and brother, okay? They will all be very happy!"

Children are easy to be distracted, Wan'er stopped making trouble when she heard this, and nodded seriously: "I want to show my purse to my parents!"

Lingshu looked at the mother and daughter with a smile from the side, thinking that in the future, when Wan'er is older, if she wants to learn to read, he would be willing to teach her. He doesn't have the idea that girls don't learn to read.

The whole family agreed that Liangliang would go to school, and Chen Lanzhi was so energetic that she spent half the afternoon getting Liangliang out with new clothes and bought a pair of new shoes overnight.

Early the next morning, Liangliang happily put on new clothes and shoes, was led by Yan Dachuan to the village school, and Lingshu also went with him. He hadn't seen the school of the Daqing Dynasty yet, and wanted to see it Knowledge, satisfy your curiosity.

Yanjia Village is considered a big village, and the village school is jointly organized by three nearby villages. A scholar was invited to sit in the school. This gentleman's surname is Cheng Mingyi, and his character is Qingliu. It is said that he failed the township examination last year and is temporarily teaching in Yanjia Village to earn some scholarship , By the way, review, and wait for the next year to take the exam.

The village school is at the east end of the village. It is a rather interesting small yard. There is a fence around the yard, and a few flowers are planted at the gate. There are several spacious big houses in the yard. The husband's dormitory, the students' dormitory, and the kitchen. There is an old woman who cleans and cooks.

When Lingshu and Yan Dachuan came with Liangliang, there was class in the school, and the sound of children reading aloud could be heard from the big room. Liangliang stood on tiptoe enviously and looked in through the window.

The aunt who cleaned the yard saw them, asked a few words with a smile, and went in to inform Mr. Cheng. Obviously, this was not the first time someone came to study.

After a while, Mr. Cheng greeted him.

This Mr. Cheng looked to be in his twenties, wearing a plain robe, slender, handsome, with a bookish look, and he had the demeanor of being a teacher.

From the first impression alone, Lingshu has a good impression of this gentleman from the village school. Presumably such a person should be able to teach students well.People say that looks come from the heart, if the teacher sees that kind of narrow-minded or rigid face, Lingshu will definitely not let Liangliang go to school in the village school.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng." Yan Dachuan bowed like a literati. Naturally, his movements were not standard and somewhat nondescript, but he was full of sincerity. "This is my kid. I want to learn to read from you."

"Have you learned anything at home?" Cheng Yi looked brightly and asked.

Yan Dachuan replied: "I have learned some Three Character Classics."

The boys here, when they were young, their elders would teach them to recite a few lines of the Three Character Classic, but they only knew how to recite, but they didn’t know the characters.

Cheng Yi also understood this, so he nodded and said: "My tuition fee is one tael a year, and if I eat here at noon, I will charge another meal fee."

Yan Dachuan thought that they were all in the same village, and it would be quick to go home and eat at noon, even if Liangliang was still young, someone should pick him up, but eating at home can save some money, at worst, he would run a few more times to pick him up .

"Don't eat here." Yan Dachuan said.

Cheng Yi said he understood, and then asked Liangliang: "What's your name? How old are you?"

Liangliang grabbed her father's hand, looked up at her husband, and replied seriously: "My name is Yan Liangliang, and I am six years old this year."

Cheng Yi asked, "Where's your name?"

Yan Dachuan was taken aback for a moment, his family Liangliang had been named this since he was a child, so there is no such thing as a famous name.

Seeing this, Lingshu hurriedly handed the two earthen jars carried by straw ropes to Mr. Cheng, and said with a smile, "This is a snack made by my family, a can of hawthorn sauce, and a can of preserved hawthorn fruit. Let me taste it." It’s an early adopter, and I hope you will give my family a bright name.”

Cheng Yi didn't make a fuss, and took the clay pot given by Lingshu generously. After pondering for a while, he said: "The word Liang means Ming, which means light. Let's call him Yan Zhengming. I hope he will Treat people with integrity.”

This name is good, with a very good meaning. Lingshu gave Mr. Cheng a thumbs-up, and bowed first: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for giving the name."

Yan Dachuan also quickly pulled Liangliang, "Thank you, sir!"

The father and son bowed together.

"Zhengming will stay and study with other students today." After choosing the name, Cheng Yi directly called Liangliang's new name.

"Hey, good, good." Yan Dachuan smiled all over his face, nodded cheerfully, took out a tael of silver from his sleeve, and handed it to Mr. Cheng.

He also told Liangliang to listen to his master, and then he stepped out of the village school without hesitation.

Lingshu couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, don't worry, I think that Mr. Cheng is a good person, Liangliang will not be wronged by him."

Yan Dachuan rubbed his hands and sighed: "Liangliang is the first child of the three generations of our Yan family to go to school! How can I be unhappy!"

It's all thanks to Lingshu that Liangliang can go to school!

If there is no Lingshu, his family will not be able to pay the tuition fees at all.

Yan Dachuan made up his mind in his heart that he must work harder to help Lingshu in the future.

The author has something to say: Later,

Everyone in Yan's family asked Lingshu: Didn't you say you wanted to marry a girl from a rich family? !

Lingshu blinked his fox eyes: What I said at the time was marrying a rich family... I didn't finish the rest of the words, you made up your own imagination!

Wei Wife Slave Xiuya: My wife is right!I am the son of a rich family.
