==Chapter 25==

The kang table rolled down from the kang and hit the ground with a loud noise.

Fortunately, this kang table was made by Xue Qingsong back then, and the wood he found in the mountains himself was solid, so it was not smashed.

Everyone was taken aback.

What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Shut up!

Old Master Xue's face turned pale, and his lips trembled. Even when he said that he was going to separate, he was not so excited, which is enough to prove how angry he is at this time.

He looked at the group of people below with painful eyes, and suddenly sat back on the kang, and waved his hands weakly: Everyone go back to the house, and we will talk about other things tomorrow.

Father, what about the title deed? Mrs. Sun hesitated.

Without waiting for Mr. Xue to speak, Xue Qinghuai grabbed her and pulled her outside: Okay, are you enough? What's the matter? Let's talk about it tomorrow, and I can't miss you?!

Everyone in the house dispersed.

No one expected that it would end like this. Everyone felt a little unspeakable in their hearts. The thing they had been thinking about for a long time finally came to pass, but no one was happy.

Xue Tingxiang was very silent. Seeing him like this, Zhao'er didn't know what to say. The two of them took a rest after returning to the house, without talking for a whole night.

*

The morning light is faint, and the sky is breaking.

Everyone in Xue's family got up, but the courtyard was strangely silent.

No one spoke.

There was a lot of movement and activity, but no one spoke.

Still as before, those who should cook should cook, and those who should feed livestock should. After breakfast, Mr. Xue called the whole family together and asked Mrs. Zhao to bring out the box containing the title deed.

The Xue family's land was bought in this way for one mu or two mu, and the land deeds were divided into several pieces. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, they would have to go to the county government to divide the land, and to go to the county government to cut the land would naturally have to go through Lizheng, and now this matter cannot be concealed.

Mr. Xue divided the land deed, each family has six acres of land, and the second room has two acres more.

Each house stepped forward to take the title deed.

When it was Xue Tingxiang's turn, Mr. Xue suddenly said: It stands to reason that if you go to the school, the family will pay you money, but yesterday you said that you will have your own destiny, and you must never blame the family in the future.

He said he didn't complain, but there was some anger in Mr. Xue's voice. After all, Xue Tingxiang started this matter, if he hadn't made such a fuss, how could the family have become like this.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he couldn't blame his second grandson for this matter, but suddenly the whole family became like this, which completely overturned his family's desire to share weal and woe with Meimei. Under extreme pain, it is normal to vent their anger.

The grandson won't complain.

Looking at this thin grandson, Mr. Xue's eyes flashed with complexity. He opened his lips several times, and then reached out and took out a worn-out purse from the box.

Don't say that I, a master, favors one over another. Since I agreed to it in front of Li Zheng and the patriarch, I will naturally do what I say. This little money has been saved a long time ago, and it is the only money left in the family. Now I will give it to you. You, it’s enough to go for a while. As for the future——” He paused, sighed: “Let’s have our own destiny.”

Xue Tingxiang took the purse.

Everyone in the room looked at the purse.

Especially the Dafang couple, who seemed to be calm, but actually had needles in their eyes, wishing they could get into their purses to see how much money was in there.

Xue Tingxiang smirked slightly, opened the purse as if unconsciously, and took out a piece of broken silver from it, which looked about two taels in size.

He took the piece of silver in his hand, and put the purse back intact.

What are you? Mr. Xue's eyes were filled with shock and puzzlement.

Not only him, but everyone else.

Besides Zhao'er, Zhao'er understands why the little man would do this. All along, she thought that the little man blamed these people, but she was worried but powerless, but now it seems that she was thinking too much.

Of course, Zhao'er is not without complaints, but she has always felt that it is too unworthy to put all her thoughts on blaming others, and she is too sorry for herself.

So she obviously has many ways to deal with the big house, to make them feel bad, and even to make everyone feel bad by breaking the cans, but she didn't choose to do this, but chose to earn what she wanted with her hands.

She wished the little man could do the same.

Although she doesn't understand the principles, she understands that a good man should stand upright, instead of turning into a blood-sucking leech like Xue Qingshan, always thinking of sucking blood from others to support herself.

Thanks to the help of an elder, my grandson has already found a school to enroll in. The school is very cheap, and the money is enough.

His words stunned everyone in the room.

Mr. Xue couldn't help asking: What school is it? How can a good school be cheap.

These people were all deceived by Xue Qingshan's experience, and they all thought that a good school must be expensive. In fact, this is indeed the case. Qinghe Academy is the best academy in Huyang Township, and is even well-known in Xia County, but the so-called 'good' is a matter of opinion.

In the dream, he had studied in that school for three years, so he knew the way of it all too well.

If you are willing to spend money, you can please the gentlemen inside, or those with outstanding knowledge, and it is very easy to get ahead. As long as you follow the right path, big and small are also children. Going the wrong way, but those with great perseverance can also try their luck by luck.

For example, a real peasant boy like Xue Qingshan sent a full five years of money into it. Qinghe Academy also wanted to admit a few more peasant children into the academy, so Xue Qingshan also stepped forward.

But that's all there is to it, and you have to rely on your real skills when you get to the college exam.

Xue Tingxiang suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and said the name of Qingyuan Academy.

Xue Qingshan next to him couldn't help snorting.

Mr. Xue asked him: Boss, but this school is not good? He also faintly heard the sneer.

Xue Qingshan quickly suppressed the expression on his face, with a serious look: Okay, why not, this school is one of the best schools in Huyang Township. But it used to be.

Then why is Shu Xiu so cheap?

This question is a bit difficult to answer, Xue Qingshan thought for a while before saying: This Qingyuan Academy is too small, and its name is not prominent. The museum is different, and it is well-known in our county. The county magistrate and Jiaoyu often come to the hall to teach the students in the hall. Dad, you forgot what I told you about the relationship between the museum owner and the county magistrate. hold head high?

Mr. Xue nodded, then looked at Xue Tingxiang: Since it's not as good, I'd better go to the Qinghe Academy. After all, your uncle once studied there, and there are some benefits in it.

Xue Tingxiang was in a complicated mood.

Seriously speaking, his grandpa still cares about his grandson.

Of course, this is no comparison with Dafang and his son.

In fact, Mr. Xue is very good to the Xue family. He usually handles things in an orderly manner. Occasionally, when the Zhao family gets messy, he can take care of it. The only thing that is easy to get confused is when a bowl of water is uneven.

Seriously speaking, this is not to be confused. The parents of a large family should consider the overall situation. For Mr. Xue, Dafang is the eldest son and grandson, and the most promising person in the family, so it is naturally biased.

This is the case for small households from poor families. If they want to get ahead, they can only do their best to make offerings. Once in the early stage, one person will attain the Tao and ascend to heaven.

The truth is that it is true to say so, but people are people, not cold truths, who wants to make wedding clothes for others forever? Who wants to be at the mercy of others forever?

Especially after going through it year after year like this, it seems that there will never be an end in sight, and people's hearts are floating.

Everyone is right in their own standpoint, what is wrong is that people have different hearts.

These truths are only understood by Xue Tingxiang after experiencing that dream. In fact, he in the dream did not finally understand all this until many years later.

Grandson...

Xue Tingxiang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xue Qingshan's words.

Father, don't worry about this matter. Gou'er is not good at learning. Even if he goes to Qinghe Academy, he will waste his money. It's better to find a random academy and learn first.

Can……

Xue Tingxiang pursed his lips slightly, without moving his eyebrows or eyes: Master, I went to that school to see it, it was pretty good, I decided to study there.

Look, he even said so himself.

Xue Tingxiang nodded and suggested: Uncle, actually, I think elder brother can also go to this academy. My family is not rich, so I really don't need to go to such an expensive academy.

What do you know! Xue Qingshan was full of contempt, he wanted to say something, but fell silent under the warning eyes of Mr. Xue.

In fact, Xue Tingxiang didn't intend to say this before, because he knew how the Dafang people would react, but Mr. Xue's dissuading words made him change his mind. Sure enough, speaking out, they responded this way. That's fine, he has a clear conscience.

Since you have made your decision, Grandpa will not say more. I hope you will have a great future in the future, and don't disappoint your father's expectations.

Xue Tingxiang nodded: Grandson will definitely work hard.

After that, Mr. Xue made some explanations about the separation of the family, and all the people in the house dispersed.

After everyone left, Mr. Xue sat alone on the kang, smoking his dry cigarette with a lonely expression. The lingering green smoke hovered in the air, behind which was his old face with ravines and a pair of slightly bleak eyes.

*

The Xue family's land was not worried about selling, and when word got out, several families in the village came to ask.

Mr. Xue chose the family with the highest bid and sold two acres of land for a total of twenty-four taels of silver.

Now the land price is the same, if you want to sell it at a high place, you can sell it at a high place, but at most you can sell it for one or two taels per mu. The Xue family is waiting to use the silver, so naturally they can't wait until then.

After receiving the silver, Xue Qingshan hurriedly took Xue Juncai to the town.

Unlike Qingyuan Academy, Qinghe Academy has a large number of students who come here to study every year. If you go late, you may be afraid that they will not be accepted, so the sooner you go, the better.

In the evening, Xue Qingshan came back with his son, with a smile on his face.

Xue Juncai couldn't hide his joy, he had an unfamiliar bookbag on his body, with the words Qinghe Academy embroidered on it. It was bulging inside, as if it contained something.

The father and son entered the house and came out after a while, Xue Jun changed into brand new clothes.

It turned out that the Qinghe Academy issued student shirts, which are different from ordinary student shirts, this one is unique. It has a pale blue bottom, a toga with large sleeves, a wide soap-colored piping on the placket and cuffs, and a belt of the same color around the waist. Some look like raw shirts, but they are not.

But I have to say that this clothes can enhance a person's temperament, and Xue Juncai has an extra sense of elegance and coquettishness when he wears it. He was born to be handsome, so it made people unable to take their eyes off him.

It's so beautiful! Yang said with a smile and narrowed her eyes.

Mrs. Zhao also nodded repeatedly, saying that the clothes are good. Xue Qingshan stood aside with a particularly bright face, and asked how the others were doing with a smile. Even Mr. Xue, who was sitting in front of the door, couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.

In such a situation, other people in the courtyard would naturally have to say something nice, which was considered a good thing after all.

Everyone took turns to praise, Xue Juncai held his head high, but he still had to act modestly.

He glanced at Xue Tingxiang and asked, Tingxiang, did the Qingyuan Academy send out shirts?

Xue Tingxiang shook his head slightly: Congratulations first brother. The school has not opened yet, but Shu Xiu is so cheap, it probably won't be issued.

That's true. You don't know, this school not only distributes shirts, but also books and pens. The pens are not worse than the ones I usually use, and the shop sells for several hundred yuan.

This is a bright display.

Zhao'er was overwhelmed. Instead of worrying about it, it feels like arguing with a child, don't care about it, why are you so indifferent!

She has never been in the character of letting others be bitter and not fighting back, so she smiled fakely and said: Such an expensive Shuxiu is only handsome. You think it is taking advantage of others.

Xue Juncai moved his eyes and looked at her: Zhao'er, you think it's good too, don't you? If you don't let the dog come to Qinghe Academy, I, as the eldest brother, should take care of him.

Who cares about your care!

It's just that this must not be said in person, Zhao'er gave him a dark look: No need, we are reluctant to sell the land!

These words blocked Xue Juncai so that his face turned red immediately, and he hesitated to say anything, so he could only stare at Xue Tingxiang.

Xue Tingxiang was stared at inexplicably, and was wondering why the other party was like this, so he listened to Zhao'er and said: Let's go back to the house and make a list, you will go to the school in two days, there are many things to buy, don't miss them.
