Chapter Twenty-Four, The Teacher
"Grandma, what do you mean?"
"Tao Tao is not young anymore, and it is not a good decision to take care of me at home, and I want to send her to a private school. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough the girl's family is interested in female workers and housekeepers, there will always be a lack if they don't study. What's more, Tao Tao will be your virtuous helper in the future, if she can't read, how can she help you? ”
After the ancestor of the Yu family finished speaking, Yu Zhiyuan realized that Tao Tao was already seven years old, and all children of this age should be in elementary school. It's just that in this era, everyone flatters women that they are virtuous if they are not talented, and there are very few gentlemen who recruit female students...... But not going to school is not an option.
"Grandma, what do you mean......" Yu Zhiyuan asked, he really felt that Tao Tao should go to a private school to learn something, so that no matter where she was in the future, she would not be so easy to be bullied.
The ancestor of the Yu family said: "You ask Mr. Wu to see if you can let Taotao go to school, and you can do it." You are a student of Mr. Wu, and you are always close to him. ”
"This ......" Yu Zhiyuan looked embarrassed.
The ancestor of the Yu family looked at Yu Zhiyuan's appearance, and said: "I have some broken silver here, if it is not enough, ask your uncle to ask for some, don't look at your uncle's stinginess, but he is very generous in this study." ”
After listening to the words of the ancestor of the Yu family, Yu Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, grandma, I have money, and I haven't touched what you gave me before." Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it. ”
After coming out of the room of the ancestor of the Yu family, Yu Zhiyuan immediately made a sad face. Yu Wusheng is indeed very generous in the matter of reading, so he will not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hand over Yu Zhiyuan to Mr. Wu and let Mr. Wu teach him knowledge.
It's just that in Zhiyuan's impression, the young master of the Yu family has not been a fuel-efficient lamp since he was a child. Sleeping and snoring during class disrupted the class, jumping up and down during recess and breaking Mr. Wu's inkstone, and following Mr. Wu after school to throw mud to avenge his personal revenge...... This...... Everything this bear kid did added up to enough for Mr. Wu to expel him from the school and never hire him.
If it weren't for the silent respect for learning and the respect for scholars, Yu Zhiyuan would not have been able to go to school there.
At this time, the ancestor of the Yu family asked him to go to Mr. Wu and ask him if he could accept Tao Tao as a student and let her go to a private school to study. This Mr. Wu Yu Zhiyuan's impression is that he is a nerd and an old antique who has been brainwashed by Confucianism and harmed by the Four Books and Five Classics. Asking him to accept a female student is against common sense and will never be done.
But since he has promised his grandmother, Yu Zhiyuan also feels that letting Tao Tao go to a private school is Tao Tao's best choice, so even if this matter has to be written and solved by playing Heavenly Court, he will go without hesitation.
Yu Zhiyuan walked towards his room while thinking, and when he passed by the small courtyard, he suddenly found Tao Tao squatting on the edge of the flower garden alone, not knowing what he was doing.
Since Tao Tao came to the Yu family, Yu Zhiyuan really didn't seem to care about her anymore, and today when the ancestor of the Yu family said this, Yu Zhiyuan felt that he was indeed an incompetent brother.
The weather was getting a little hot, and the smell of dry sunlight enveloped the whole yard in silence.
"Taotao, what are you doing here?" Yu Zhiyuan stepped forward and asked.
Tao Tao turned around and saw that the person who came was Yu Zhiyuan, and suddenly a smile appeared on her white little face, and she shouted glutinously: "Big brother!" ”
"Hey, it's good to call my brother in the future, we're already a family." Yu Zhiyuan's natural man's desire to protect came out instantly, and he really had no ability to resist when facing such a cute little girl. Yu Zhiyuan said with some pampering, squatted down, and touched Taotao's head.
"What are you doing here?"
"I planted two sunflower seeds, and I don't know when they will grow." Momo turned her head to think about the obviously churned land in front of her. Yu Zhiyuan followed her gaze and planted three or five melon seeds on the newly turned land.
"So you can grow sunflowers?" Yu Zhiyuan was surprised that he never knew that the melon seeds used could grow sunflowers.
Tao Tao looked at Yu Zhiyuan's expression, nodded vigorously, and said, "Enne!" My mother planted it herself, and it was grown like this. ”
Yu Zhiyuan looked at the budding flowers in this flower garden, and felt for the first time that all things have spirits. On such a piece of soil, such beautiful flowers can grow.
"Peach." Yu Zhiyuan suddenly said: "What do you want to do when you grow up in the future?" As soon as Yu Zhiyuan's words fell, he couldn't help but hide his face and yawn loudly. Last night, in order to cook the tea eggs that are enough for today, he didn't sleep all night.
"I want to be by my brother's side forever......" Tao Tao whispered, but this sentence was swallowed into Yu Zhiyuan's yawn, and he didn't hear a word.
After snorting, Yu Zhiyuan, who had tears shining in the corners of his eyes, looked at Tao Tao and asked, "My brother sent you to school, are you willing to go?" ”
"Can I go to school?" Momo opened her big eyes wide, her long eyelashes fluttering gently on her eyelids.
"Hmm!" Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
"Does my brother want me to go?"
"Hmm!"
"Can I help my brother a lot when I go to school?"
"Hmm!"
Yu Zhiyuan nodded three times in a row, and Tao Tao nodded her head vigorously, which was considered to be the end of the matter.
Yu Zhiyuan placed Tao Tao, took a nap, dressed neatly, brought a meeting gift, and went to a private school in the afternoon.
The private school is located on a quiet mountain, although it is not too far from the market of Zeyun City, but it perfectly avoids the noise of the market, making this private school a sacred ivory tower with only the sound of reading.
By the time Yu Zhiyuan arrived, the sky had become a little cooler, and it was not as hot as at noon. From afar, a red sun is still hanging obliquely in the sky, and when the breeze rises, there is only the sound of reading in the ears.
"What a great place!" Yu Zhiyuan looked at this emerald eye, and thought that he was in this situation when he was in elementary school. People always don't cherish it when they go to school, and they sigh when they enter the society.
"The beginning of man--the nature is good-"
Mr. Wu hadn't finished class at this time, and Yu Zhiyuan stood quietly in this courtyard thinking about his own affairs, and didn't bother, just waited silently.
But for half a moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, which instantly obscured the sky. The wind blew up, and the leaves of the mountains were rattled. At this moment, the rain of beans fell without saying anything, and the fragrance of a piece of earth suddenly rose around.
Yu Zhiyuan hid the meeting gift for Mr. Wu in his arms, and jumped under the eaves of the school in three steps and two steps to avoid the sudden heavy rain.
As soon as Yu Zhiyuan stood still and swept away the rain on his clothes, he heard a "squeak-yah-" behind him, and behind the wooden door that was opened, was a gray-haired old man.
