In the second room of the Mu family, Mu Jin looked at his parents in front of him with a bitter face, and begged: "Daddy, Auntie, I also want to go to private school." ”

has always been inferior to his uncle's family, but this year there are actually two people who can go to private school, why can his family only go to one person.

"You're only eight years old, what kind of private school did you go to, didn't you see that your cousin Mu He only went to private school when he was fourteen years old? But you don't have to take so long, wait for your eldest brother to be admitted to Xiucai this year, and next year A-Niang will let you go to private school, okay? Yang said.

The family is quite rich in the countryside, but it is already very difficult to provide for a showman, and the cost of the private school of the academy in the county town costs three taels of silver, plus the money to buy books, and gifts to the academy gentleman, it costs at least ten taels a year.

It's hard enough to go to school this year, how can you afford a second one.

"But what if the eldest brother can't get into Xiucai?" Mu Jin asked cautiously.

As soon as the words fell, Mu Yongsheng slapped him: "Bastard, what are you talking about!" ”

Shen'er has already fallen off the list once, and once off the list means that ten taels of silver are gone, Mu Yongsheng will not allow him to fall off the list for the second time, otherwise the funds will be even more cramped in the coming year.

At this time, whoever dares to question Mu Shen Xiucai's affairs is to go against him!

Mu Jin was slapped by this surprise and cried.

Yang was so distressed that he hugged his son who was covering his face and crying, and said to Mu Yongsheng: "What are you doing, the child is not sensible, just say it casually, and you can't take it ......seriously."

Although Lao Mutou was also angry at what Mu Jin said nonsense, he was also distressed when he saw his grandson being beaten, "Second brother, you are too aggressive." ”

Mu Ran looked at his aggrieved brother who was crying, his lips spurted for a while, and finally he was reluctant to say it.

Mu Jin wants to go to school, doesn't he want to?

But the family spends all the money on the eldest brother's talent, just like Mu Jin said, if the eldest brother can't pass the exam this year......

Then I definitely won't have to study next year, my brother is still young, he can afford to wait, he can't afford to wait, if he gives his younger brother the opportunity to study, then he doesn't know when he will be able to go to school.

"Since Jin'er likes to read so much, it's not impossible for them both to go to school, after paying the tuition, the books and other things will be shared between the two of them, and they can save a lot of money." Old Mutou said.

"No, Dad, I lost a sum last year, and the family doesn't have much money, you and A-Niang's New Year's money this year is not filial piety, and I took it to pay Shen'er's school fees, how can there be any superfluity?"

Yang also feels sorry for his son, although the family still has some savings, but it is used in case of emergency, "This year I still want to buy a few more piglets and chickens to raise, this piglet this year has risen to two hundred, twice as expensive as last year, the family also needs someone to help, this pig feed and chicken food I and A-Niang can get it, and when I have money next year, it is not too late to let Jin'er go to school, it will be a year late......"

Lao Mutou didn't speak, looking at his grandson who was crying, Yang didn't make sense.

He has to help Mu Yongsheng do the things in the field, and the family affairs will be handed over to the Jiang family and the Yang family, and he will also raise pigs and chickens, find pigs and chicken food, how can he be busy.

Everyone was silent for a while, and the whole room was left with Mu Jin's aggrieved cry.

Mu Jin looked at the silent crowd, and felt more and more aggrieved, and couldn't help but complain about the eldest brother he had always admired.

Since he is so good at reading, why don't he hurry up and get admitted to Xiucai, if he was admitted last year, then he will be able to study this year.

He also wants to take the Xiucai exam......
