struggle in ancient times

"By the way, second child, didn't I go back for a while?" After eating, Liao Ming called Liao Tingyu aside alone, and said a little coyly, "The village chief called me to help His son..."

Liao Ming was a little embarrassed that he didn't dare to continue talking. When he agreed to this matter, he must have been blinded by lard.

Deng's face, who came over to shout for someone, was as black as the bottom of a pot. Although Liao Ming hadn't finished speaking, she could guess that he was trying to find a way out for her son?Play the emotional card.

Liao Ming saw Deng Shi approaching, and looked towards Deng Shi very embarrassed.

Mrs. Deng is very unhappy now. In the past, when his son was incompetent, and when his family had no money, his tail was almost up to the sky. Now?

"I said, are you stupid? If someone asks you to help, do you just help? Have you forgotten how he treated us before?"

"It's his daughter-in-law, not him and his son. Besides, our son is able to study because of the money they sent. If they didn't give it, after the few taels of silver, the two of us would have no money for the books for our son." .” Liao Ming quibbled.

"You fart, the money is an apology. He owes you. He ate so much when you were doing business before, and it's not too much to pay back one or two taels. And don't you think about what his son said before The second child, say that our second child can't do it when studying." Deng said angrily.

In fact, it was just a comparison between the children. After all, only the village head’s children had read some books in the village. He was the most capable among all the children. However, he did not expect that Liao Tingyu would steal the limelight, and even asked his master to come to the door to let him know. Liao Tingyu went to study, but the whole town was the best school in the county.

Most people can't bear such a gap, let alone children, it's normal to be sour.

Liao Tingyu listened to the quarrel between his parents. In fact, it was Deng's unilateral overturning of old accounts, which gave him some headaches. Is that how good a woman's memory is? Such trivial things have been remembered for so long.

"Actually, it's nothing. If they want to come over, they can be accommodated. Letting your own people is also good." Liao Tingyu said quickly when there was a gap.

"It's even more harmful. His kind of fellow countryman's relationship is very easy to cause bad things. If it doesn't matter if some people make up their minds to start things from him, then there is no need to report you. Your kindness will become someone else's. A tool for making money." Deng said angrily.

In the beginning, in order not to hinder her son, she never helped anyone, even if the benefits were offered to her, she refused.

Now, not only are there no benefits, but they also want to bring harm to them.Although they are in the same line as the village chief, who can guarantee that a village can be single-minded, even if a brother is very likely to be stabbed in the back.

Liao Ming also had some regrets. He didn't think so much at the time. This was because he was used to being flattered in recent years, so he lowered his vigilance, and he also had the mentality of returning to his hometown to show off his might.

"I didn't tell him to come over right away. I said my son was going to be assessed soon. I'll see if he can come over when I ask. At most, I'll just refuse." Liao Ming struggled for the last time.

"It must be refused." Deng said without hesitation.

Liao Tingyu thought for a while and asked, "Did he pass the exam?"

"I passed the exam." Liao Ming replied.

"I've already passed the examination as a scholar, why don't you find a small official in the local area." Deng exploded the gunpowder as soon as he heard it, "This is our family."

"Don't speak so harshly! It's just that acquaintances are easy to handle. What's more, not everyone can be a small official." Liao Ming said.

Like the masters of the entire county, those masters are either classmates of the county magistrate, or local gentry, or big clans.

Their Liaojia Village is not one of the top surnames!

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry about it like this. I'll write a letter to the county magistrate over there later. If there is a position, the county magistrate will save face." Liao Tingyu said.

Mrs. Deng nodded when she heard that no one would come over, "It's embarrassing for my son. This father is really incompetent, so he knows how to make trouble for his son."

Liao Ming was embarrassed by such a name-calling complaint, but he did something wrong in the first place, and he was indeed criticized.

"Okay, let's just leave this matter alone, Dad, is there anything else you need to do?"

Liao Ming shook his head.

"Then let me tell you something about our family. The two children are already this old. Should we take them to school to study?"

Deng was puzzled, "Didn't you teach all the children in the family? Your ability follows them. Do you need to send them to school?"

Liao Tingyu said: "It is still necessary. I think the two of them usually play together and have no contact with other children of the same age. This is why I am a little worried that this will not be good for their growth."

Deng doesn't understand what's wrong, the two children are quite cheerful and smart now!

"How many children of the same age did we play with them when we were young, just each other, and occasionally some other people, just a few days a month. I don't mean to let the two children learn something, just let them Have a few more friends who can make friends. Of course, if you can learn, it will be the best."

Deng pondered for a while, and what his son said was the same reason.

I remember when she was young, there were many people picking and shopping together, not as lonely as these two children.

"Son, you can do whatever you want. My father and my mother are getting old, and many things are beyond my imagination. We will support you in whatever you want to do."

Liao Tingyu really didn't know if Mrs. Deng had any misunderstanding about getting old. She still has black hair and is only about forty years old.

The whole person's lean and lean hand can still hold dozens of catties of things.

"Then this matter is settled like this, and I will go and tell my elder brother."

"By the way, son, when are you going to conduct an investigation? You have been saying that you will conduct an investigation, but it has been so long, and the inspectors have not come yet. I hurried because I was afraid that the inspectors would come, and you changed places. "Liao Ming asked.

"I'm not too sure about this. Besides, my term of office also started in October, and it's only July now!" Liao Tingyu said after thinking for a while.

And he guessed that before the inspectors came down, the sky had already changed.

As soon as Huang Zilan got home, he heard Liao Tianyu say that he would send his child to school for a period of time, and he agreed very much.

Only those who have been to the school will have a good memory and a sincere friendship.

The next day, I couldn't wait to take Liao Tingyu to visit those schools to see the character of those masters.

Later, the two chose a well-regulated school. The master may be serious, but he is responsible enough.

The point is that some of the kids in it are about the same age as the two kids.

"I think this is good. Tomorrow, I will come over with my elder brother to apprentice the two children." Liao Tingyu said.

As soon as Zhao Han came back from the outside, he heard that Liao Tingyu was going to send his two children to school, and he sympathized with them very much.

"Have you heard, little guys? You are going to school tomorrow to study, and you will read those books every day. If you can't memorize the books, the master will beat your hands with bamboo rattan. Oh, it's pitiful to think about it." Zhao Han's face was full of gloating. He thought of his previous learning experience, and his heart was full of grief.

The little ghost of the rice grains, "I am not afraid of what brother Zhao said. Dad said that I am smart, have a good memory, and I can follow everything in my studies. My dad is exactly the same. My dad can get a Jinshi, and I can get a champion in the future." .”

Rice Cake also nodded, "Tell us about it, we only need to follow the content taught by the master when we go to school. If we can't keep up with uncle, he will teach us alone. We are mainly responsible for playing."

Listening to these two children, Zhao Han almost turned into a lemon essence. Who said that the school is for fun.

Why hadn't he met such a good uncle before? Zhao Yuan should really reflect on himself. He remembered that when he couldn't memorize books before, his parents served him with canes, and this uncle even went to help him catch him.

unacceptable.

Zhao Han didn't achieve his goal, so he walked away in dismay.

The next day, Liao Tingyu took his two children, took the meat he bought yesterday, and brought gifts to visit the dean.

The dean heard early in the morning that the adults in the county paid great attention to their school and intended to send their children to study in their school. This was a great honor for him.

Just because of the movable type signboard of the county magistrate, their school will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future.

Liao Tingyu and the dean greeted each other friendly and flattered each other tacitly. The dean promised to educate the two children well so that they can eat, have fun and learn well here.

After school in the afternoon, it was Liao Shi who went to pick up the two children. He held the hands of the two children and followed Liao Tianyu's instructions to ask about the situation one by one.

"What did you eat today? What did you learn?"

Rice cake replied happily: "We ate stir-fried vegetables and white rice today. It is said that there is very little mozi and oil, and the taste is not good, but I had a good time today. After class, we ran to the garden Go pick flowers and play hide-and-seek."

Liao Shi nodded, "So, you have made friends now."

Mi Cake nodded, "Mi Li also recognized several people as his older brothers. Mi Li is the youngest in the class. Many people came to look at him as Billy's brother. They even brought the rice to Mi Li's table."

Mi Li was also very happy. He held Liao Shi's hand and said, "Those brothers volunteered to help me. I'm too short to fit on the table. The uncle who does the vegetables can't see me."

Liao Shi rubbed the heads of the two children and asked, "Did the master hit anyone, and how much homework did he give you?"

The homework of rice grains and rice cakes is different, but "the master is very kind and doesn't hit anyone. I heard those brothers say that the master is very good."

Back home, during dinner, the old couple of the Deng family also asked one by one about the situation of their school. The two children told the truth. Seeing the two children so happy, they also felt that the decision to go to the school was a good one. correct.
