Chapter 438: Doubts
Although the eldest brother of Uncle Gong Jian's mother's family did not have any communication about the days of his sister's family, they all felt that the family situation of his sister's family was becoming more and more embarrassing.
Although my sister-in-law's family still does not worry about food and drink, and there is an inexhaustible supply of firewood in winter, all kinds of details show that the family is becoming more and more stingy, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get things and money from them, which is also very revealing.
Gong Jian's eldest brother knows how his mother-in-law has such doubts, you must know that her sister's two children have gone to private school, so it can be said that the time spent by her two sons in private school is longer than that of Gong Jian.
can know so specifically, thanks to Aunt Gong Jian, who has to pull them every time, and keeps talking about her two competitive sons.
A few years ago, it was about her capable eldest son, how he behaved well in the private school, how he was praised by his husband, but in recent years, he didn't say much about his eldest son, but every time they met, she always reminded her that younger son was how he could read, and he would be a big official in the future to glorify his ancestors.
And Gong Jian's family was too poor before, which caused Gong Jian to drop out of private school, and their sister even talked about it with them, so they knew very well that their sister's two sons, which one of them studied in the private school, was longer in the private school than the descendant named Gong Jian.
For his two nephews, Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother also said that it was difficult to understand. According to his sister, the two nephews are good at reading. It is said that the life of my sister's family should be more and more prosperous.
This can't be blamed for his lack of understanding of the two nephews, mainly because they have very few opportunities to get in touch.
Usually, my sister always said that her two sons were studying in a private school. And if it is in time for the festival, during the New Year, his two sons said that it was rare to rest, so they were not at home.
At the beginning, he would ask the two nephews a few words, but gradually he found that the time spent by the two nephews at home was really small. So he didn't bring up the topic anymore, and just echoed a few words every time his sister boasted that her son was good at school.
You know, in order to be able to make the life of the family a little better. When I arrived at my sister and brother-in-law's house, I wanted to coax the couple to be happy. Naturally, they talk or something, all according to what they and their husband and wife say.
And every time he speaks, he has to appear sincere, so at the very least, he has to convince himself. This also decided that in his mind, except for the two nephews who were very good at reading, there was no other impression.
At this time, when he heard such a question from his mother-in-law, the eldest brother of Gong Jian's aunt realized that there was something wrong with this.
Yes, if his two nephews were really reading seeds, as his sister said, and they were very good at reading, how could their family live like this.
Not to mention, even he, a rough man in the mountains, knows that studying is to test his fame. Although in his impression, he didn't know the specific situation of these fames, but he knew that there was such a thing as a talented master.
He had heard the old people say that the land in the house of Master Xiucai was exempt from rent and tax. Of course, in his small mountain village, there has never been any showman. In that village, all illiterate people are illiterate, how can there be scholars?
But this does not prevent Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother from thinking about it carefully, and he understands the twists and turns.
So he said to his mother-in-law, "Don't believe too much what our sister said. You know, if his two sons really knew how to read as she said, it would not be possible that there would be no movement for so many years. ”
Regarding the movement in the mouth of his man, Gong Jian's aunt and sister-in-law expressed their incomprehension. This is again a matter of reading, and it is simply a mysterious and noble thing for her.
So she had to ask clearly, this is also related to her youngest son's future future: "Boss, what do you mean by movement? Why don't I understand? What else is there in this reading? Reading shouldn't be a quiet thing?" “
Although Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother didn't understand it very well, he still insisted and said, "You must know that you have to take the exam to study." If you can make a name for yourself in the exam, then you are not an ordinary reader, then you are the master, you are the master of the show. ”
Master Xiucai, it is the first time for his mother-in-law to hear such a term. It was also in that small mountain village that there was no scholar in her neighborhood, and it was impossible for a group of women to talk about reading, but it was not the first time she had heard such a powerful title.
In her impression, reading is to go to a private school to study, but Gong Jian's aunt and sister-in-law didn't expect that scholars still have to take exams, what other fame does they have?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hurriedly ask: "Big boss, what are the fame of our two nephews?
Uncle Gong Jian's eldest brother snorted coldly, and then said: "How is it possible? If they have made a name for themselves and become a talented master, then our sister will not go home early to report the good news and show off, but have you seen that she has mentioned these things?"
His mother-in-law thought about it carefully, and then replied: "That's not true, my sister has always said that his youngest son will be a big official in the future, but she has never said what he has been admitted to, let alone what kind of master his youngest son is." ”
"That's right," her man pursed his lips and continued, "just by looking at this, you can see how well our two nephews are not as good at reading as our sister said." ”
Of course, they hadn't thought about it in this direction before, but now that they think about it, they understand that if it's really like what their sister said, her son is a school material.
How could his eldest nephew go to the town to become an apprentice in the bookkeeper after studying in the village private school for a few years without taking any exams?
At that time, they heard Aunt Gong Jian say that her eldest son had found an apprenticeship job in the town's tent, and the couple was still envious for a long time.
