Erbi blankly recalled what his little aunt said just now. He really heard it right. He heard her tell him twice that she wanted to send him to study!

"Little aunt...I...I want to go to school too?" Erbi asked hesitantly, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Little aunt, I...I don't want to study anymore. I'll help you with your work at home. The autumn harvest will be coming in a while. I can cut rice and thresh grains. I'm very good at this!" As if afraid that Jiang Yan wouldn't believe it,

He spoke very loudly, and his childlike voice was full of determination.

"You don't want to study?" Jiang Yan thought that the little guy didn't want to study, and then said: "You can't do it if you don't study. I don't expect you to come back as a scholar, but you must be able to read and write. You are a child in the fields.

Don’t worry.”

"No...little aunt, I want to study, but...it's just...I eat so much food every day and do so little work, it's not enough. If little aunt still sends me to study, I will...I will

It’s not over yet…” The little guy said and cried.

When he got up, he worked hard every day, but his aunt's family had a lot of people, and he was small. He couldn't do what adults could do, and several sisters-in-law had done what a child could do. He was worried every day, if the child

My aunt dislikes him, what should I do...

"You are young and have a lot of things to think about. Then eat more, grow up early, and study hard. I don't want anything else from you. You can rest easy. If you can come back as a scholar, my little aunt's pain will not be in vain.

You are."

Jiang Yan just said casually that this child suffered too much when he was a child. Now that he is living a better life, he feels like he is dreaming. He worries about gains and losses all day long, but a few words can't dispel his uneasiness. These can only be cured slowly with time.

And asking him to pass the examination as a scholar is a goal at least. The little guy can at least feel at ease. Even if he fails to pass the examination, it will be fine. She can afford it anyway.

"Mom! I will definitely be admitted as a scholar, and I will also be admitted as a top scholar! I heard that the most powerful person in reading is the top scholar!" Lin Bei suddenly spoke up, his eyes were firm, and his words were powerful: "I will be a great scholar by then.

Official! Once we become a high official, no one will bully us, and I can protect my mother well!"

Lin Erbi also shouted quickly: "Me too, me too! Little aunt, I will study hard. Not only will I be a scholar, I will also become a high official! Just like the county magistrate, I will let my little aunt ride in a carriage wherever I go.

!”

Lin Feng's eyes were also bright, his face was flushed with excitement, and he said in a soft and waxy voice: "Mom, I... I want to learn arithmetic! I want to... help mom... count money!"

Xiaodouzi, who had been lying in Jiang Yan's arms, was not to be outdone and hurriedly raised his hand: "I don't want to study. I heard Xiaodouzi said that studying is too tiring. I want to learn from Uncle Lin to hunt. When I grow up, I will go there every day."

Catch a beautiful cock from the mountain and give it to grandma!”

Jiang Yan rubbed several people's heads and had a rough idea in her mind. Erbi and Xiaosi could be sent to enlightenment studies. Although Xiaowu's brain was burned out, he was very sensitive to numbers and the private school was unwilling to accept them, but

You can cultivate his computing ability. As for Xiaodouzi, if he doesn't like Wen, he can send him to learn martial arts when he grows up, while others can just let her pursue their career in peace!

"From now on, the whole family will set up a stall together. Xiaosi and Erbi will go to a private school for enlightenment. Xiaowu will keep accounts with me. You must also learn to keep accounts. When Xiaosi and I are away, you will take turns collecting the accounts by yourself. At noon

When I get home, in addition to busying myself with things at home and in the fields, everyone has to learn to read along with me every night!"

The family was clearly arranged, but everyone seemed very excited. When they thought about reading and writing, they were all full of expectations and couldn't wait to start learning right away.

For them, being able to read and write is a supreme honor, and it is the expectation of countless people in the village. If given the opportunity, who would be willing to be a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky for generations?

In their view, anyone who is literate is superior to them.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with light, and the corners of her lips raised slightly. Ancient books are not divided into so many subjects, and they are not that interesting. Just the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects of Confucius and eight parts, all of which need to be memorized. Not only

It was obscure and long, and she couldn't even read it. She hoped that they would still be as excited and happy as they are now.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, led by Lin Yousheng, followed by four people, each carrying a full load of wild grapes or green leaves on their backs.

"Xiao Jiang, you happen to be at home. You went up the mountain to pick wild grapes today. Check to see if you have enough. If you still need it, we will go there again tomorrow. There are still a lot of grapes in that area." Lin Yousheng greeted several people to put down their backpacks.

There were no extra stools in the Lin family. After putting down their backpacks, those people sat down under the eaves without ceremony, enjoying the shade while smiling at Jiang Yan.

Seeing that everyone was sweating profusely and their cheeks were red from the blazing sun, she signaled Wang Jinhua to quickly pour everyone a glass of grape water. The grapes were mashed and filtered, and a little sugar was added to it. Although there was no ice cubes, it tasted good.

It's sour and sweet, and it's a good summer drink in this hot summer.

Several people were holding bowls and looking at the bright purple-red liquid in the bowl. They felt that it was particularly dazzling, especially under the sun. It looked even more weird, like poison that shook people's minds. No one dared to drink it for a while.

He just held the bowl and looked at Jiang Yan blankly.

"What is this? Why does the color look so beautiful?" Lin Yousheng didn't think it was anything. He looked at the strangely attractive water in the bowl and took a sip: "It tastes good! It's sour and sweet, and I feel cool after drinking it.

Come on! Jinhua, pour another bowl for uncle."

Lin Yousheng's pupils were shaking and his eyes were shining. Regardless of the reserve in his heart, he asked for another bowl. The sweet and sour taste carried all his brain nerves and stimulated his entire taste buds. The more he drank, the more saliva secreted in his mouth.

Sheng, his back was sore that he broke into a cold sweat, and the stuffy heat just now dissipated in an instant.

My sore teeth were trembling all over, but I was reluctant to spit it out. I drank a few more sips of it obsessively, and let out a sigh of relief.

"It's just water soaked in grapes, with some sugar in it. You just came down the mountain, drink some to relieve the heat."

Jiang Yan invited a few people to drink water. Seeing this, those people started drinking from their bowls. For a moment, everyone gritted their teeth and gasped, but they drank sip after sip with satisfaction.

"Second brother, go and weigh it. Xiaosi, calculate the money and then settle the copper coins with a few uncles."

When Lin Nan heard this, he quickly found an old and worn-out weight and started working on it. He had done a lot of this kind of work in the past two days, and now practice makes perfect.
