Chapter 81: The Most Helpless One
The first update
Of course, Zeng Fan, who was watching from the side, was shocked before, he thought that Brother Hao was not taken seriously, and after listening to Brother Hao's funny, he thought that the Chen family was very funny. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when he saw the Chen family's gift, he understood the deep meaning of the Chen family.
It's not that they don't pay attention to Brother Hao, but they attach too much importance to it, so they think of Yi Zi and teach, the Li family comes to raise Brother Hao, even if Brother Hao makes a little progress, the Chen family shows their great gratitude. So that's the real way to teach a child.
The Li family is the same, how much the father-in-law loves his children, but his uncle went to the pawnshop as an apprentice at the age of ten, and the second girl is not yet twelve years old, and he is as busy as his mother every day, he has never seen her rest, and the Li family raises children like this.
On the contrary, in his own home, he will also help his mother sweep a yard. The two younger brothers and their father didn't do any work at home, and they often said that everything was inferior, but only reading was high.
Is it really only reading high?
This mood lasted until after dinner, and it was time for him to go home. Take the assignment he did today, which Li Xiucai asked him to bring back, let him go home and look at it again, and let him write the same question in a different way, this kind of exercise is very boring, but it is very useful. He hugged it, looking soulless. Li Ping took him a cloth wrap and asked him to take it. And send him out.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Do you think it's really 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'?" Zeng Fan looked back at Li Ping's eyes.
"That's true, but it depends on what you use it for!" Li Ping didn't study in vain, she also had a Hanlin Xianggong who had served as a scholar and politician for many years.
"I see that your father is working at home, but my family, my father doesn't work." Zeng Fan hesitated for a moment, but still said.
That's not how this sentence is put here, right? Reading makes a person wise, but what does it have to do with whether or not you work? My eldest brother is in a pawnshop, and he learns things faster than everyone else. What he told me was that because he was literate, he had read, so his brain turned faster than someone who hadn't. The book also says that men should 'work together, govern the country, and level the world'; Therefore, reading is to make people take better care of their families, not to say, after reading, you don't have to do anything. Li Ping hurriedly raised her head and said very slowly, this kind of dangerous thinking must break Zeng Fan.
Zeng Qing's kind of mud can't support the wall, she won't talk about it. If this person, like Zeng Qing, can't do big things, and doesn't want to do small things, then even if he is really admitted to Jinshi, he won't be able to go far. What's more, there is also a character problem.
In fact, about the question of 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', she also once asked Hanlin Xianggong. Her original intention was that the difference between a reader and a reader was actually very big, and her biological father was also a reader, and she herself felt despised.
Hanlin Xianggong told her that her biological father could not be regarded as a real scholar at all. A real scholar should actually be like Fan Wenchen said, 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world.'" But she won't tell the little boy these words.
She just needs to tell Zeng Fan that a real scholar should have a sense of responsibility, and reading is to make herself and others live better, not because of reading, she will appear superior to others and become a burden to her family.
"Do you expect me to be admitted to Xiucai?"
"Of course!" Li Ping didn't hesitate, she didn't hear what Chen Jing said, so she couldn't understand where his point was.
"But even if I pass the test, you will have a hard time." Zeng Fan pursed his lips tightly, with a contradictory expression.
"Yes, my mother said, you were admitted, and that was the beginning of my suffering. Then I've been selling rice, will you always help me sell rice? Li Ping smiled and looked up at him.
Zeng Fan reached out and took out the one hundred and twenty yuan from his arms and handed it to her.
"It's your salary!" Li Ping was stunned for a moment, but did not stretch out his hand. She said that this was his salary, and he deserved it.
"I know, so I've made money, I'll give it to you." Zeng Fan also smiled at Li Ping, took Li Ping's hand, and put the small string of money in her hand, "Originally, I wanted to buy a gift for everyone like Brother Hao to prove that I made money." But for now, I'll give it to you. ”
"Tomorrow I'll prepare an egg for each of the uncles." Li Ping said softly.
Zeng Fan smiled and took a deep breath, "I will go back and let them learn to work like you taught Brother Hao." What's the use of studying if you can't even support yourself. ”
"Go back quickly, there are some things that you may not be able to do, even if you are a big brother. There is a grandfather and parents above, and in the end, ......" Li Ping didn't say it, this is the Zeng family's business, if she talks too much, it will bring unnecessary trouble, in principle, she doesn't want Zeng Fan to care, because Zeng Fan will let the two younger brothers learn to work as soon as he goes back, then, the Zeng family will only think that their own tutor has broken Zeng Fan, and the relationship between the two families will only go to the next level. However, she is not a good person either. When she said this, she didn't hope that Zeng Fan wouldn't say it, but that she expected Zeng Fan to go back and say it. Zeng Fan was already slowly thinking about the problems of the Zeng family at this time, and he really ripped off the fig leaf, just afraid that it would make Zeng Fan even more disappointed in his family.
"You go back, it's not good to be out for too long." Zeng Fan patted her thin shoulder, and his heart was also sour. They all know deeply that that family brings them deep helplessness, the younger brother can't take care of it, and the parents have no right to beak. And maybe the only person in the family who understands is grandpa, but how can he admit his mistake and raise a failed family?
He decided to accept his father-in-law's proposal, if he still couldn't be admitted to the Jinshi at the age of thirty, he would no longer take the exam, and even if he came back to do business, he couldn't make his wife and children suffer.
"Be careful on the road, anyway, be careful when you go home." Li Ping was entangled for a while, but she couldn't help but instruct, in this case, the two families said that they were married, but the relationship was very embarrassing. He stayed at home for a day, and even if he didn't teach his younger brother when he came home, he was afraid that life would not be easy.
The two of them have been selling together for so long, and although they say less every day, their hearts are much closer. He understood what she wanted to say, but he didn't say anything, so he gently patted her again. Ran out on his own.
Li Ping sighed lightly, feeling that it was really difficult! Now she feels that she is not pitiful, the most pitiful one is actually Zeng Fan, even if she really marries, she is just a grandson and daughter-in-law. is also a rich and capable granddaughter-in-law. The great-grandfather who is in charge of the house, no matter what he does, he can't do anything to her!
And after Aunt Zeng made a scene of withdrawing from her family, I am afraid that she will have no actual status at home, and it is difficult to be mean to her. However, Zeng Fan is a son, and in the face of his grandfather and parents, he can only be deeply helpless. (To be continued.) )
