At the back door of the old courtyard of the Guan family, a small figure flashed in, and ran to the back of the three houses under the cover of the low stack of wood, and was about to go to the front yard when he suddenly heard the sound of conversation.

She immediately stopped her calf.

"Uncle, do you think I'm writing like that?"

On the kang in the east house, next to an oil lamp on a kang table, there is a basket, which is filled with red hawthorn, bunches of mountain grapes, and a few yuan dates.

Ma Cuckoo leaned on the quilt, touching his stomach in one hand and holding a few red hawthorns in the other, staring at Guan Laosi and the son in his arms, occasionally glancing at Guan Xiaozhu opposite.

Guan Youquan glanced at it and frowned at his niece, "Do you still want to go to school?"

Guan Xiaozhu nodded seriously.

Guan Youquan looked at the door of the room, pondered the wording, paused for a moment, and looked at his niece, "You know your father's four brothers, why did your father just let me go to school?"

"You're the elder?"

Guan Youquan shook his head and raised his chin proudly, "Your uncle and I have a very good memory when I was a child, and your father took a fancy to me as a root and a seedling, so he just got off the book."

It's a pity that it's useless to just study well, no matter what time you have to rely on someone to pull you, otherwise your uncle and I won't stay in the tun and can't get out. ”

Guan Xiaozhu is not interested in listening to his nonsense, as if he is not from the roots, but if he asks for others, he always has to flatter a few words.

Her father said that as long as she learns the first-grade textbook before the beginning of spring, she will be allowed to smash pots and sell iron, otherwise...... Otherwise, he doesn't have anything, and he doesn't need to say anything.

But she didn't believe it, could she still do it?! As long as she was sent to school and stayed up for a few years, she would just be in time for the college entrance examination that year.

She clearly remembered that winter, everyone's fate changed, some changed the day, and some were completely mud......

Guan Ping'an in the house listened to it tightly, her third cousin is also a talent, and if she smashes down her good words, Guan Laosi is still unhappy at the moment.

"Xiaozhuzi, while your mother hasn't come back yet, my uncle will tell you something from the bottom of my heart, don't go to school, save more money, and find a good family in the future. ”

Outside the house, Guan Ping'an frowned.

"Uncle, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone. ”

Ma Dujuan glanced at her, "You still don't understand, your uncle is for your good, wait for a year or two and then come back, if you can't go up, it's better to save money for yourself earlier, and when you are older, you will have the confidence to enter your mother-in-law's house later." Look at your aunt, how many words does she know?"

Guan Xiaozhu bit her lip, "Auntie, I want to go to school." ”

Ma Cuckoo smiled noncommittally, "Then go up." A few nephews of my mother's family pick some mountain goods and save up for tuition, and when you go to pay the tuition, your mother is willing to spend the money?"

"I know, but I'm afraid my mother won't give me rations. ”

The cuckoo lowered his eyes and stuffed a piece of hawthorn into his mouth.

For a while, there was silence in the room, only the little Zhuang Zhuang in Youquan's arms clapped his little hands from time to time, shouting a father, and shouting a mother's voice.

After a while, Guan Xiaozhu looked at Guan Youquan with hopeful eyes, and spoke again: "Uncle, can you teach me? ”

"Little bamboo, why did you agree to your father? You said that you have no foundation at all, how can you learn other people's knowledge for a year in a few months?

Isn't this a joke, don't say that my uncle doesn't have time at all, but if he has time, how can he teach you?

Guan Xiaozhu pursed his lips, "Uncle, I will prepare my own pen and paper." ”

Guan Youquan glanced at his daughter-in-law, frowned and looked at his niece, "It's not that Uncle doesn't teach you, Uncle can't take care of you at all now, otherwise, you go to God to bless their brothers and sisters." ”

Guan Ping'an, who was outside the house, immediately stretched out his little foot and gestured against the wall: If this leg goes down, will it scare Ma Dujuan to give birth prematurely?

"Your third uncle must have started teaching the two of them, and you happened to be in the first grade......

The cuckoo swallowed the hawthorn and immediately interrupted, "What are you talking about?! Don't listen to your uncle." God bless their brother and sister are learning martial arts with the old man of the Zhao family, and the girl in Ping An is either learning needlework with her mother or learning to work on the stove, and their brother and sister have no time to learn literacy. ”

Guan Ping'an's eyes flashed outside the house, and he lowered his calf.

"I think it's the best place for you to find Tie Dan, the front and back yards live close, he happens to be in the second grade next year, you send more wild fruits to plug his mouth, he will teach you as soon as possible." ”

Guan Laosi immediately echoed, "Your aunt has a good idea, you ask your father to talk to that kid again, it's best to learn even Damei and Xiaolan together, and how many can be learned." ”

Outside the house, Guan Ping'an nodded again and again. That's like human talk!

Guan Xiaozhu pinched his palms with his fingers, and watched Ma Dujuan's tears roll down, "Auntie, I will take care of the work in your family in the future, and I will definitely be filial to you when I have a future future." ”

Ma Cuckoo immediately waved his hand, "Wait." You don't think I'm not going to let your uncle teach you, are you? I'm such a person? You're so old and you should be sensible.

You didn't listen to what your aunt said? Your uncle is so worried that he wants to wait for Mao Dong to go to the forest farm to carry wood, do you think he has time?"

Guan Xiaozhu hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not ......"

"Don't talk yet!"

Ma Dujuan waved his hand, "You are already eight years old, not young, use your brain to ponder, whose child has to finish a year of study before going to school? Why do you spend money to go to school when you are so powerful?"

Guan Youquan took his daughter-in-law's hand, "Don't get excited, say something slowly." ”

Ma Cuckoo exhaled, "I'm not excited, I'm just angry that this kid can't understand." It's all inclusive, and the co-author is a wicked person who is my aunt. ”

Guan Xiaozhu wiped his face with his sleeve, "Auntie, I didn't mean that." Don't be angry, you still have a brother in your belly, you speak slowly, I'll listen. ”

"Little Bamboo ......" Ma Cuckoo looked at her and sighed, "I don't want you to do anything for me, if your uncle is at home, you can ask him if you want to come and ask." But have you thought about it?"

Guan Xiaozhu's smile of surprise froze.

"I turned east and I was seven years old. ”

Guan Xiaozhu waited for a while, but didn't see her continue, and glanced at Ma Dujuan in puzzlement, pondering what she meant by this.

Think her father can't afford her and her eldest brother?

No, her father doesn't want to move away at all, as long as he doesn't build a house, he can save money by selling eggs and insoles at home. By the way, I also have two pigs in my house.

Ma Dujuan looked at her and threw the hawthorn in his hand into the basket, "Your mother loves her son, and when Xiangdong is eight years old, she will definitely let your brother go to school."

At that time, with a sister like you protecting him on the road, and he is not afraid of being bullied at school, won't you go to school with him?

Your sister and brother are two years apart, and there are many of us who go to school at the age of nine in Tunli, so what do you say are you in a hurry? Just one or two more years to help your mother. ”
