Chang's poked out the old things, and the hall instantly quieted down, and even the little skin boy Kang Ge'er sat quietly next to Song Sancai, he didn't know about the past back then, but he could also feel that the atmosphere was wrong.

After a long time, the Hong family took a long breath and muttered: "The second family, what happened at that time was an accident. ”

Chang Shi smiled coldly: "Yes, it must be an accident, if that matter is serious, I am afraid that my son has already returned to the West with his grandmother and sister." ”

"You ......"

Anyone could hear that this was a mockery, and Hong was almost angry, but he couldn't say anything to block her, so he could only keep patting his chest.

"Mother, you hold on."

Zhou's eyes were quick, and he hurried over to smooth Hong's breath.

Hong's was so angry that he knew that he wanted to let Chang Shi go, but at this time, he couldn't look at her, thinking of Song Tian, there was even more disgust in his eyes.

At this time, Song San spoke: "Mother, second sister-in-law, let's not mention the past again, it will only increase our troubles." Ah Xiu came to our house, and all the money was spent, so let's stop worrying about that. The family is in harmony, don't talk to two families. ”

Song Sancai is twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in coarse gray clothes, and his appearance follows Hong's, his body is not very tall, and his facial features are quite handsome.

He always smiles when he speaks, and I don't know if it's because of his career as a merchant for a few years, and his eyes always shine when he speaks.

Song Sancai persuaded peace, which can be regarded as giving everyone a step down.

Wang, who was holding his little daughter, also smiled when he saw this: "Yes, how big is it to go to school in the town, the second brother has not returned in the town, and it is not appropriate for us to talk about this matter, it is better to wait, and when the second brother returns from the town, we will talk about what is the matter." ”

This topic is stiff, and there is no point in talking about it any further.

The people in the room were silent, and the old man Song touched the tobacco leaves and came out, lit a fire on the oil lamp, and began to smoke.

Green smoke fills the room, and a dull atmosphere fills the room.

This feeling made Wang's heart uncertain, she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and was about to say something, but her husband next to her pulled her sleeve.

After a while, Old Man Song, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Brother Hong'er's matter is to wait for the second brother to come back before we can discuss. However, Brother Kang is also six years old, and after the spring planting, he will go to the private school with his three brothers to enlighten him. ”

The Song family originally had three babies studying in a private school, and no one helped with farm work, not to mention that the bundle was also a large expense.

But the boys in the big room and the second room have been sent to the school, so there is no reason to leave the third room behind!

There is a reason why the Song family is so interested in the imperial examination, the ancestors of the Song family have been in and out of the Jinshi, and now the plaque of the Song family's ancestral hall is still written by the prefect of the four grades of the official residence.

There are not many people in the Song family in Guxi Village, and at least half of the people in the village are surnamed Song.

Since the Song family came out of the ancestor of Jinshi, the younger generations have to admire and follow the trend, taking the scientific examination as their own responsibility, hoping that one day they can glorify their ancestors, but the result is that the more they take the exam, the poorer they become.

The Song family of Guxi Village was originally the side branch of the ancestors separated by three generations and four generations, and the prefect of the prefect came here to give a deck of cards, and then basically broke off the connection, but the people here were encouraged, and each family had to read the two books even if they broke their heads.

Later, I don't know if the Song family has no reading talent in this vein, except for one of the grandparents who won the show, that is, Song Ercai passed the county examination and became a child.

Time has passed, many people in the clan have given up, and they can live a good life in the village with peace of mind, only Song Huitang is still insisting, just because it was his grandfather who was the first to show talent, he felt that his family had luck, and the heart of the fish leaping into the dragon gate was not extinguished.

"Dad, Brother Kang is only six years old, and he knows all the wilderness all day long, so I think it's better to wait another year."

The corners of Wang's mouth had just curled, and Zhou poured a basin of cold water.

If Brother Kang also goes to school, the family needs another expense, and then it will be difficult for his son to go to town.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, several juniors all entered school at the age of six, so there is no reason to come to Brother Kang'er, it is different. Anyway, whether you can go to school or not is a matter of these two years, and if you can't go home and farm with me. ”

The Song family has a rule that children are enlightened at the age of six, and if they are still stubborn after two years of school, or if they are stupid and do not know how to learn, they have no talent for reading, and they will put down their books and embark on the road of farmers.

The three dolls in the big house and the second room are all like this, but this generation of grandchildren is surprisingly serious and sensible, and they all have the consciousness and appearance of reading, all of them have passed the threshold of two years, and continue to go to school in the private school, and their knowledge is praised by the master from time to time.

Even if he is used to playing, when Kang Ge'er heard that he was going to send himself to a private school, there was still a hint of yearning in his eyes, just because he was respected for reading.

There is no private school in Guxi Village, and the children in the village are enrolled in a private school in Gaotan Village next door.

The shackles of the Mengxue class are 600 yuan a year, which can be paid monthly, and the cost is not too high, so forget it if Zhou is blocked.

There is no result in the matter of Brother Hong'er in the big house, and the matter in the third room has been decided.

Wang pushed his son to the middle, asked him to thank his grandmother, make a promise or something, and vowed to study hard and learn from the three older brothers in front of him.

The family meeting in the hall broke up like this, and Ah Xiu almost heard about his scars, but unfortunately that thing would not be easily exported, and it was obviously a taboo for the Song family.

"Brother Tim, I'll go out and pour water first."

Ah Xiu said, seeing that he didn't speak, he took something from the small burden and left with a wooden basin.

The lights were already out in the hall, Ah Xiu took a look, and went into the kitchen to prepare a spoonful of water to wash.

Wang was also there, and when he saw Ah Xiu coming in, he quipped: "Yo, Ah Xiu, I only knew how to take care of my man on the first day I came." ”

Just finished the matter of his son's admission to Mongolia, Wang was full of smiles and was much kinder to this little girl who had just entered the door.

Ah Xiu smiled lightly and diverted the topic: "Third aunt, you can scoop away all the hot water, and I'll burn it here." ”

"Got it. Your little mouth is quite sweet. ”

Wang, seeing that the little girl was putting down the wooden basin and rubbing her shoulders, she smiled and asked, "You haven't done such heavy work before, have you?" ”

"The third aunt laughed, I am a child of a poor family, and I used to do everything at home."

"Really? Then our Song family has picked up a treasure. Wang said as he picked up the barrel and left.

Ah Xiu smiled, boiled half a pot of hot water, and left most of it after she used it up.

In the spring ploughing season, if the Song family had gone to bed early before, today they had something on their minds, and no one even came out to fetch hot water in the big house.

Chang took the straw mat and quilt to his son's room, and helped Ah Xiu get out of bed by the way.

"Tian'er, don't worry, I'll tell your father about the schooling in the town later."
