"Stone, what do you want to do after dangling here for so long?"

Chen looked at his white and tender son walking around the house, but he didn't speak, and said funny.

Xie Yanqing glanced at Chen and Xie Dawei timidly, but still plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, mother, I want to study." ”

After that, he lowered his head and did not feel the reaction of his parents.

Xie Dawei and Chen were both stunned, and finally Xie Dawei asked, "Why does Shi want to study?" ”

"Today, when my sister and I went home, we met Brother Jie, the village chief, and saw that he was different from the children in our village, and he was very majestic. And others respect him very much, I heard that because he is a scholar, the people in the village will respect him very much, and I want to do the same. ”

Xie Yanqing thought about it and said it like this, now he is just a little kid, and it is normal for him to want to be the same as others when he sees others.

If he had told his father and mother what was good about studying, he would have been burned to death as a child who had never been told him such things.

In ancient times, we were very concerned about ghosts and gods.

As soon as he heard this, Chen shed tears, seeing that her son must be a smart person since he was a child, and now he also proposed that he wanted to study, but the parents could not satisfy their son's wishes.

"Stone, it's not that Daddy doesn't want you to study, but the family really can't afford it, so you don't think you said it!" Xie Dawei said heavily.

Hearing his father's voice, Xie Yanqing was very unwilling, but he also knew that he could only leave, and after seeing it, could he be coquettish and tell his grandfather about studying.

He would not give up the idea of reading, and in ancient times, the status of a scholar was worse than that of an official.

Once you are admitted to Xiucai, you can be tax-free 50 acres, which used to be tax-free for 30 acres, but now the world is initially decided, the population is small, and many people who study have died in troubled times, so Xiucai can be tax-exempt for more fields.

And Xiucai also has the advantage of seeing that the county official does not kneel, and he will not be beaten when he is involved in a lawsuit.

Looking at the back of his son's departure, Xie Dawei felt very sad, not that he didn't want his son to have a chance, but that he was incapable of being a father!

"The head of the family, the family has saved some money over the years, why don't you tell your father to let the stone go to school." Chen couldn't help but speak.

"You think I don't want my son to study, but how can there be any money in the family, although our family has made some money over the years, but over the years, our family has repaired the house, I married my second brother, and my two sisters didn't spend a lot of money to marry? Now that the third brother has not married, the second brother will definitely have a few more children, and the cost will be even greater at that time, how can there be spare money for the stone to study? Xie Dawei said with a depressed face.

Yes, now the Xie family's house is the most famous in the village, and the houses where the Xie family lives are now adobe houses.

Opposite the main entrance of the Xie family's courtyard are four tall and large main rooms, one room is where Xie Mancang and the Li family live, the middle room is used as a hall house, a place to entertain guests and eat, and the other two rooms are a kitchen and a warehouse.

There are three large rooms in the left wing, which is where Xie Dawei and his family live, the eldest sister and the younger sister live in one, Xie Dawei and Chen's family live in one, and Xie Yanqing lives in one.

The right wing room is five small rooms, now Xie Daguang occupies 2 rooms, Xie Dayong lives in one, and 2 rooms are empty for Xie Xia and Xie Ru to go home to live.

There is a cowshed in the backyard, and there are 3 small thatched wooden houses, which are pig houses, chicken houses and thatched toilets. Thinking of this, Chen couldn't say anything.
