"But their family is poor, and it is so difficult to provide for a child to study, let alone four children, three elder brothers, who give the opportunity to study to their younger brothers, and they choose to work in the fields like their fathers."

Speaking of this, Yin Yin didn't say any more.

Xiao Chen was also silent, looking at the scene in front of him, staring all the time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go, let's go to another place."

Yin Yin took him to another place, and happened to pass by a few members of their family.

It happened that the young man under the tree was carrying a jug of water and called for them to drink, and several of them came up from the field.

"How is it, little brother, have you learned what Mr. taught today?" A young man from the field handed the pot to his old father, but his eyes looked at the younger brother who was carrying his sister's back under the tree.

Probably because he often worked in the fields, and because of the wind and rain, his skin was very dark.

But Xiao Chen looked at it, and the first thing he saw was his clear and translucent eyes.

The little brother said, "Well, I've memorized it." ”

"That little brother, you will teach us when you go back in the evening."

"Yes, yes."

The other brothers echoed one after another, and even forgot to drink the water.

Probably so happy, they smiled brightly, and their mouths showed neat big white teeth, looking silly.

The old man quietly wiped the corners of his eyes by drinking water, and his eyes were slightly red.

Xiao Chen looked at this scene with mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't dare to look at it, and his heart was a little bottomless, so he hurriedly walked a few steps faster, and even reached the front of Yin Yin.

Yin Yin took him to the private school again.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate ......"

The private school was shabby, and before I got closer, I heard the sound of immature and loud reading.

Yin Yin said: "This village is called Liujia Village, more than 100 years ago, there was a Jinshi, Liu Jinshi felt that it was not easy to study, in order to help the clansmen, he specially built this private school with money, this private school, has a history of more than 100 years. ”

Xiao Chen looked at it, and easily saw the traces of those tinkering, through these traces, as if he had seen the appearance of more than a hundred years ago.

"Liu Jinshi built a private school and bought a family field, in order to give the children of Liujia Village one more way out in addition to the farming brothers. If you don't have the talent to read, you can learn to read and write, learn arithmetic, and it is also excellent to be able to make a bookkeeper after you come out. If you have the talent to read and like to read, you will strive to be able to take a meritorious name, not only to be famous as a meritorious hero, but also to return to your hometown, but also to report to the people. ”

Xiao Chen's thin lips were pursed tightly, his fists were clenched tightly, his cheeks were flushed, and somehow, he suddenly had an urge to escape, because of the deep shame in his heart.

Standing outside the window, he could easily see what was going on in the private school.

The gentleman read on it, and the children shook their heads and read along.

After reading a paragraph, the gentleman stopped and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad." You must remember that reading can enlighten your mind, reading can make sense, reading can cure foolishness, reading may be boring, but there is great wisdom in books, and knowledge will be a beacon to guide you in the direction of the future......"

The old gentleman's words, like thunder, slammed into Xiao Chen's heart, and also made his mind roar.

Until he went back and sat in the carriage, Xiao Chen still couldn't forget it for a long time.

Out of Liujia Village, the carriage staggered back, and in the carriage, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate.
