......

After Bai Yujing finished his work, he carried a bamboo bench to the big tree in the fence to cool off, the July sun was too scorching, and he felt uncomfortable sitting in the house.

He sat under the big tree, holding his head, looking at his family's three bamboo houses, one where his parents lived, one where he and his sister Bai Qingqing lived, and one where he and his sister Bai Qingqing lived, and one was used for cooking and putting sundries. In front of the house is a small yard fenced, planted with a vegetable called Gou Ye, often fried with bean dregs, and the rest is gone.

"Daddy and sister went out to talk, and I don't know when I'll come back..."Bai Yujing sat a little listlessly under the big tree. This morning, his parents said that they didn't need to deliver food at noon, and that they would go home and eat.

I don't know when, Bai Yujing fell asleep against the big tree. Suddenly, he heard a wake-up sound in his ears. He opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and saw Uncle Zhang, who taught him to read.

"Wake up, Xiaojing...... Why are you asleep here..."Uncle Zhang looked at him and smiled.

"Oh, Uncle Zhang, it's you. It's cool to sit here, and I fell asleep before I knew it. Are you here to see my parents? They haven't come home yet. Uncle Zhang, I'll pour you a glass of water to drink..."Bai Yujing rubbed his eyes, and walked to the stove room after speaking.

"This baby, speaking clearly, with a flexible brain, and a neat way of doing things, is not bad..."Uncle Zhang looked at Bai Yujing who walked into the stove room, and sat on the bamboo stool, looking at Bai Yujing's home.

After a while, Bai Yujing came to Uncle Zhang with a bamboo bowl, a tenant farmer like him could not afford to use a bowl fired from ceramics. Except for the pot and farm tools, everything else in his house is made of wood or bamboo, which shows that he is poor!

"Uncle Zhang, please drink water..."Bai Yujing held the bamboo cup in both hands, quite polite, and saw Uncle Zhang nodding straight.

"Xiaojing, tell Uncle Zhang, do you still want to study..."Uncle Zhang took a sip of water and asked. He was also a tenant villager, when he was a child, he had to meet the landlord's family to see that he was still quite smart and clever, so he accepted him as the young master's scholar, his father immediately agreed, and his family naturally received some good treatment from the landlord's family.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang. Do you still want to teach me to read and write?" Bai Yujing was naturally very happy when he heard that he could still read.

"Uncle Zhang's words have been handed over to you, but there is nothing more that can teach you..."Uncle Zhang shook his head with a smile.

"Ah, that's it... Then I don't have to learn..."Bai Yujing said with a pout.

"You baby, Uncle Zhang can't teach you, but it doesn't mean that you have no place to learn, but this matter depends on what your parents mean, and it also depends on whether you have a chance..."

"That's it..."When Bai Yujing heard this, his heart became happy again. He loves to read, and it is also the expectation and love of his parents and sister for him.

Uncle Zhang sat on the bamboo stool, Bai Yujing stood on the side, and the two chatted.

...

The clock quickly flickered to noon.

"Third Brother Zhang, when are you here?" Jing'er, why don't you ask Uncle Zhang to come in and sit at home..."The three members of the Bai family outside the door came back from work at this time, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a big and a small person talking under the fence and a big tree.

"Brother Baiyun, don't blame the baby, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, no, this hot day, it's comfortable here..."Uncle Zhang explained for Bai Yujing.

"Okay, Third Brother Zhang, let's have a meal, just so let's be together..."Bai Yun invited, his son had been reading with Third Brother Zhang for a while, and he was also grateful in his heart.

"It's okay, I'm here to discuss something with you..."Uncle Zhang agreed after thinking about it.

After the meal, five people sat around the table.

"Brother Baiyun, since you sent the baby to read and write with me, I know your thoughts, nothing more than hope that he will not be a tenant farmer for the rest of his life, and can have the meaning of making a living, today I came over, I will talk to you directly, you also know that I used to be a scholar for the landlord's son, this time there is also such an opportunity, that is, let the baby try to be a scholar, your family of four is here, you two are parents, just say what you think..."

"Ah, really? Jing'er can be the scholar of the son of the local master's family? But can he be a good person? We are afraid that he is not sensible, and if he doesn't do well, he will cause trouble..."In addition to Uncle Zhang and Bai Yujing who said in Dashu that they knew, the three of them only now know what Uncle Zhang said, undoubtedly they are surprised, and they are also a little worried, after all, Bai Yujing is only five years old, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble if he is not sensible.

"Naturally it's true, yesterday the landlord's family sent someone to my house to say this, I think about it, your baby can be deserved, although he is five years old, but he is also smart and clever, and his personality is stable, nothing will happen. You also have to believe in your children, besides, didn't I also become a scholar at the age of six? Don't you think I'm fine now? Besides, don't you hope that he will no longer be a tenant farmer in his life? Now that the opportunity has come, it depends on how you choose..."Uncle Zhang picked up the bamboo cup and took a sip of water to moisten his mouth.

"Daddy, I won't cause trouble, don't worry, when I become a scholar, I can also read and write, if I really have a chance to do it by then, I can come back to help my sister, if it's not good, I'll come back and be with you..."

"Daddy, my brother is very sensible, he won't cause trouble, if he really can't be it, just come back, and then we will be a family of four together..."Zhang Qingqing helped her younger brother, she really envied her younger brother that he could study, and she was also happy for her younger brother, as long as her younger brother was promising, her parents would not have to work so hard day and night.

"In this case, well, we do hope that the child will live better in the future and no longer be so miserable..."

"Haha...... Brother Baiyun, don't worry, this baby is much smarter than when I was a child, I think he is also a sensible child, you can rest assured..." Uncle Zhang was also happy when he got the promise of Bai Yujing's parents. First, Bai Yujing is sensible and makes him like, and secondly, he has also completed what the landlord's family told him, which is also a reflection of his ability.

In the next time, Uncle Zhang discussed with the Bai family of four how Bai Yujing would arrange for the scholars.

......

Early the next morning, Uncle Zhang drove a carriage to the Bai family, and took Bai Yujing, who was reluctant to give up on his son, and left the tenant village.

Bai Yujing didn't expect that going to the landlord's house as a scholar this time was the beginning of a change in his fate.
