Chapter 91: Wang Tiandong's Choice
Song prepared the meal, watching Xiao Ming and the three of them eat happily, her mood also became relaxed, and she was worried that Mrs. Liu would return again, so she didn't go to Xia's house to help, anyway, in the afternoon, it was the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and boiling water.
"Godmother, you help me find two sets of study room and four treasures, and in the future, Yunling will follow me to read and learn medicine, and Tiandong will follow Yu'er to Mr. Wu every day to audit." Xiao Ming put down the dishes and chopsticks before telling her plan.
"Auntie." Wang Yunling looked at Xiao Ming in surprise, and even forgot to take back the chopsticks that were stretched out. She saw that Xiao Yu, who was about the same age as her younger brother, could go to school every day, and she was envious.
"Let Tiandong go and listen, is this okay?" Song hesitated, she knew that good gentlemen had their own temperaments, and they might not be able to accept a student who suddenly appeared.
"It's okay, it's just that as an auditor, Mr. Wu won't suggest it, Yu'er's course is slow, Tiandong will listen to it first, just remember a few, and come back in the evening to let the younger brother teach again." Reading changes fate, Wang Tiandong is the age of reading, and it would be a pity not to study.
"He went to school, what should he do at home." The Song family is still a little reluctant, Xiao Yu is the master, he is a slave, and his identity is different, not to mention that there are not enough people in the family, and he can still help do something at home.
"It's okay, he can't do any work at such a young age, it's just right to go to school." Xiao Ming said, Wang Yunling is nine and a half years old this year, Wang Tiandong has just turned seven years old, and long-term malnutrition has caused him to be thin and small, obviously half a year older than Yu'er, but he looks thinner than Yu'er.
No matter what his identity is, there is no harm in reading, knowledge makes people stronger, and she is also cultivating talents for the Xiao family in advance.
A person should be nurtured and taught from an early age so that he can be more faithful and obedient.
Song stopped talking, acquiesced, looked at Wang Yunling and the two brothers in a daze and sighed, they can meet Xiao Ming in this life, it is really their blessing, which master can be generous enough to let the slave study medicine, that is, there are few families in the village who can afford to read, and a year's paper, ink, pen and inkstone are all white flowers.
"Don't you thank your aunt for studying medicine seriously in the future, don't let down her kindness." Song reminded the two of them that whether they could learn and achieve something depended on their own creation.
Wang Yunling pulled her younger brother, who was still in an ignorant state, knelt on Xiao Ming's body, and slammed to the end.
"Thank you, auntie."
After Wang Tiandong kowtowed, he raised his head and refused: "Auntie, Tiandong doesn't want to study." ”
"Brother." Wang Yunling panicked, she didn't expect that her younger brother would refuse to study, how good it is to study, the third uncle was picked to learn skills because he had been studying for two years and could read and write, so he was valued and favored by that person.
When she was a child, she didn't understand why her father often sighed to her mother, complaining that he couldn't read a lot of words, and would only work hard, so that she and her children would suffer with him, and said that she wanted her son to study hard, and she couldn't be like him who didn't know anything and did nothing.
Although she didn't understand what studying was, she knew that it must be a good thing, something that her father intended to give his life for.
When I grew up, I understood what studying is, it is not a thing, but it is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than anything, it can test fame, become a big official, earn money, and be respected, she also wants to study, and she also wants her younger brother to study.
In that hellish place, they were worse off than dead, and they didn't dare to think about it, but now the opportunity was in front of them, within reach, but the younger brother was unwilling.
This is not possible.
"Auntie, younger brother, he doesn't know, he said the wrong thing, please aunt must send him to study." Wang Yunling kowtowed, begging Xiao Ming.
Got up and crawled on his brother's arms, his hands unconsciously increased his strength because of nervousness, and his eyes were full of seriousness and undoubtedness that he had never seen before: "Tiandong, you tell your aunt that you are willing to study." ”
"No, I'm not going to study." Wang Tiandong endured the pain and stubbornly refused.
"No, you must study, this is my father's long-standing wish, do you know?" Wang Yunling said, her voice unconsciously raised, and her whole body trembled with nervousness, maybe her younger brother was too young to understand what it meant to study.
Xiao Ming and Song glanced at each other, and they didn't understand why Wang Tiandong refused to study.
Song blamed: "You kid, what a good thing it is to study, you can be a big official in the future, why are you still unwilling, other people's families don't have any money if they want to study." ”
"Yunling, calm down and listen to your brother." Xiao Ming persuaded, reached out to pull Wang Yunling's hands away, and pulled her up by the way.
"It hurts your brother." He turned to look at Wang Tiandong again, also helped him up, and asked softly, "Why doesn't Tiandong want to go to school." ”
"Auntie, Tiandong wants to practice martial arts, so she can beat the bad guys and protect her sister." Wang Tiandong watched Xiao Ming say what he thought in his heart, and he looked resolute at a young age.
For as long as he can remember, he can hear his grandmother's scolding every day, scolding his father, his sister and her, and after his father and mother died, he beat them every day. He always remembered the look of hatred and disgust on his grandmother's face, and his sister took him in her arms and let her beat him, and then endured the scars of her body to comfort him, gave him the only gruel to drink, and worked hungry himself.
My sister's back is so thin and thin.
Wang Tiandong's childish words made the three of them startled, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, Wang Yunling's eyes were hazy with tears, and she hugged her younger brother tightly, but she didn't expect that her younger brother was unwilling to study for her.
Is it really good to abandon literature and follow martial arts?
Xiao Ming was very moved, Wang Tiandong knew gratitude at a young age, "Okay, I agree, martial arts training is very hard, can you persevere." ”
"I can, auntie." Wang Tiandong nodded firmly.
"In the future, you will practice martial arts with your little eighth uncle every morning." Xiao Ming arranged, but said: "But you still follow them to the town every day to study and learn calligraphy." ”
"Auntie." Wang Tiandong was puzzled.
"Reading can make people know etiquette and things, not to be a reckless man who can only do kung fu, you think, if you are a general, but you can't read the art of war, how to command a war, and how to make your soldiers convince you, I don't force you to get famous, but at least you have to learn to write your own name and understand books."
Xiao Ming's words made Wang Tiandong accept it happily, and said happily: "Well, aunt, I'm going to study, I not only want to fight bad guys, but I also want to be a general and lead troops to fight." ”
Wang Yunling heard her brother's bold words, and shed tears of joy again.
Wang Yunling thought of her father who died in a foreign land, and her mother, who couldn't see her death. , silently thought in his heart: "Father, mother, you can see it, we can also study, we will definitely live well, all this is brought to us by Aunt Xiao, and my brother and I will spend our lives to repay her great kindness."
