Li Datong took care of the matter and rushed to the place where he had made an appointment with Yuan Dashuo's family

Yuan Man didn't wait long with his family before he saw Uncle Li coming over with an ox cart.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

When Li Datong came over, he saw that the family was holding things in their hands, so he quickly got out of the car and was very enthusiastic to help take things and put them away.

Originally, some of his belongings were also placed on the ox cart, but there were not many, and the Yuan Man family even brought things with them, so the ox cart was full.

Li Datong was still smiling, looked left and right, and spoke again: "Sit tight?" ”

Yuan Man's family smiled and nodded, and then Li Datong shouted: "Then let's go!" As he spoke, he had already driven the ox cart and walked steadily.

This trip, the Yuanman family came quite worthwhile, and they had a special fun.

Yuan Wuzui didn't stop on the ox cart, he kept talking, he was very excited, Yuan Xiu snuggled up to Wen's side, smiling shyly, Yuan Cheng was still talking to his eldest brother from time to time, and he was obviously more relaxed than when he was up.

Yuan Man looked at them and felt that he really needed to come out for a walk.

was thinking about it in his heart, and suddenly heard his father say to her mother: "Now that the family has been separated, and the work has been taken over again, and there is an income, the children's school must also be arranged urgently." ”

Wen Shi was stunned when he heard this, and was a little worried, and said: "It's good, I'm afraid that they will be bullied if they go..."

At this time, Li Datong spoke: "Harm, what are you worried about? This school is opened by Mr. Yu, how can the big guy make trouble there, who dare, besides, it's not all for school, if it makes a big fuss, it will be dropped out, don't worry, no one dares to come blindly. ”

He also knew the situation of the Yuan family at this time, and comforted him.

Yuan Dashuo smiled when he heard it: "Exactly, now Wuzi is eleven years old, and the eldest girl is also nine years old, it's time to arrange, the family is not rich in money, and the second girl and Ah Cheng are still younger, so wait and go later." ”

In his heart, since his younger brothers and sisters have gone to school, then his sons and daughters cannot be worse than their sisters-in-law and uncles, and he does not ask them to make any fame, they can learn as much as they can, and it is good for them to be literate.

Wen frowned lightly when he heard this, but he also understood that it was important for the child to go to school, so he stopped making a sound, and only thought about letting them go to school first, which was really not good, presumably others would not dare to bully them in class, but it was not necessarily after class, so they were thinking about whether to take the time to go to and from school and take turns to pick up and drop off the children.

Of course, Yuan Man also agreed with this, she originally had this meaning, and wanted to mention it to her family, but her father said it.

Yuan Cheng was also happy for his brothers and sisters, cheering: "Big brother and sister can go to school!" The smiling eyes narrowed into a small crescent.

But the parties Yuan Wu and Yuan Xiu looked entangled, and Yuan Man couldn't help but wonder.

"What's wrong with Big Brother and Big Sister?"

"I'm so old now, what kind of school are I going to, it's weird and awkward, let's go to my little sister!"

Yuan Wu said with a sincere face, he really wanted to go to school before, but it was really his turn to be the master of his own house, he still wanted to give the opportunity to his sister and brothers, and besides, all the children in the school were seven or eight years old, and he was eleven years old.

It's awkward to think of him sitting in a group of small children when he's a big man.

Yuan Dashuo said sternly: "Nonsense! What is the age of literacy, if you really say so, people in their fifties and sixties should not go to the test for fame? ”

In the past, my own family had no right to speak, so I delayed my children, but now that I have a chance, how can I not go to school!

Yuan Dashuo didn't want his children to beg for food like him, look at his third brother, he went to school for two years longer than him and his eldest brother, not to mention the imperial examination, at least the abacus will be played, and his vision and knowledge are much better than those of the two brothers, so he also wants his children to go to school, and it is impossible to go wrong to study more.

Yuan Wu said: "Daddy can teach me at home, it's the same." ”

Yuan Dashuo still frowned and said, "How can Daddy compare with a serious teacher?" Instead of spending that time teaching you to read, I'll use that time to earn a little more money to send you to a serious school! ”

He said the truth, if he could teach, he would have taught a long time ago, one is that he has no time, and the other is that he really can't teach children, if he really has this ability, he will go to be a teacher early in the morning, how can he exchange coolies for those money!

Yuan Wu was silent now, his face was wrinkled, as if he was thinking of refusing.

Yuan Man also opened his mouth to persuade: "Yes, Daddy can't be empty, didn't the eldest brother really want to go to school before?" What are you afraid of now? Go to school with peace of mind! ”

She also felt strange, Yuan Wu originally wanted to go to school, why didn't he suddenly want to go to school?

Yuan Wu said his true words awkwardly, and refused: "There is not much money in the family, let's let the eldest sister and the younger sister go to school, I am so old..."

Yuan Xiu also hurriedly gestured at this time, and later found that the mood was too complicated to express, so he had to shake his head violently, and his expression was also a look of resistance.

Because she was mute, she didn't want to go out more, let alone go to the school.

She is afraid of being laughed at, of course, money is also part of the reason, there is not much money in the family, why spend money on her? Yuan Xiu felt that he was not worth it.

Yuan Dashuo's brows were tightly locked, looking at the appearance of his eldest son and eldest daughter, he finally sighed and said in a soft tone: "What is the big girl for?" Take your time and don't rush. ”

For the eldest daughter, he always has to be a little soft, and he is reluctant to talk to her in a too heavy tone.

Yuan Xiu slowed down, lowered his head and didn't react, but in the end he shook his head gently, patted his jacket pocket with his slender hand, and looked at Yuan Dashuo again, rubbing his thumb and index finger, indicating that it was a matter of money.

Wen saw that the children were so sensible, and her heart was sour for a while, and she couldn't help but turn her head and pretend to look at the scenery, unwilling to let the children see her reddened eyes.

Yuan Man took Yuan Xiu's hand and said seriously at Yuan Xiu: "What is Sister worried about this?" It's just that you can read and write in school, why are you so dignified, big brother and sister? Now that we're separated, we can call the shots, isn't it? Daddy and Auntie can do it again! Besides, I can help make money! Ah Cheng and I are still young and in a hurry to go to school! You can go to school first in peace! Don't overthink it! ”

Li Datong saw that the family was discussing family affairs, and it was originally difficult to interject, but at this time, he couldn't help but persuade and said with a smile: "Yes, Brother Dashuo, your children really have nothing to say, all of them are good!" But Wu Xiaozi still has an embroidered girl, you are still children, your father and mother have a heart, a bowl of water is flat, which other children can't look forward to! You should cherish it! ”

"Besides, the matter of this money, if you want to say that the four of you are all literate in school, it is not a loss, uncle will calculate the accounts for you! You see, a child's annual tuition is two taels of silver, plus the apprenticeship before going back to school, but some fabrics, snacks, pork strips and brown sugar, all by heart, spending a half and a half silver to buy is considered a good apprenticeship, that a total of one child is two and a half half silver, but if you add another child, then the apprenticeship will add a little more at most, and you can see the past on the face, which is more cost-effective than sending it separately twice! Do you think you want to save some of the apprenticeship? And then there is the tuition fee of two taels of silver
