In fact, several children of the Gan family were enlightened at the age of three, and there was a special gentleman to teach them, and even the youngest buffalo had been reading for two years and had recognized hundreds of words.

It was only later that the family business failed, so I had to stop my studies.

Hearing the word reading, the four children showed different expressions on their faces.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

The mountains and the stones are worried.

"Sister-in-law, aren't we going to open a workshop to make soap horns? It's a time when there is a shortage of manpower, so we can still help out at home! We don't want to go to school. ”

Originally, Xiaoyu and the buffalo were happy in their hearts, but when they heard the eldest brother and the second brother say this, the two immediately echoed: "Yes, we don't want to study, we have to help work at home!" ”

Gan Lin pinched each of their cheeks lightly, and said a little unhappily: "There are adults to do the work at home, so you don't have to worry about it." When you are still young, you should read more and read more words. ”

"We already know thousands of words, even the buffalo knows hundreds of words, sister-in-law, we don't need to read." Dashan said: "We will also keep accounts or something, and if the family business becomes big in the future, we can also help manage the accounts." ”

Gan Lin looked at the mountain and said, "My sister-in-law asked you to study, not to force you to take the road of the imperial examination, but to hope that you would know more and read more." First, it is to take care of the family's business, and secondly, reading can teach people to distinguish between right and wrong, and distinguish between good and evil. In short, it doesn't hurt to read more. If you read well, and even get into the middle of the lift, that's even better. ”

Xiaoyu and the buffalo glanced at each other, then looked at Gan Lin, and said in unison, "Sister-in-law, we want to go to study." ”

Gan Lin turned his head to look at the mountain and the stone, "What about the two of you?" ”

Dashan and Shi looked at Xiaoyu and the buffalo, and then looked at each other again before replying, "Sister-in-law, let's go study too." ”

Gan Lin nodded with satisfaction and said, "When the shop opens, I will find you a gentleman." ”

Tianbao pulled Ganlin's sleeve, then raised her head and asked expectantly: "Mother, my brothers are all studying, and no one is playing with me, can I also study with my brothers?" ”

Before Gan Lin could speak, the buffalo took Tianbao's hand and said, "Tianbao, otherwise we will teach you to read and write!" ”

Anyway, I haven't found a gentleman yet, and it's better to let them teach Tianbao to read and write during this time than to let them either touch snails or play with mud every day.

"Okay, then Tianbao will follow his brothers to read and write!"

While a few people were talking, Zhou Tian came back.

He walked up to Gan Lin and asked in a low voice, "Are they here to make trouble?" Are you okay? ”

Gan Lin stood up and said with a smile: "I've even beaten wild boars, and I'm still afraid of them?" Besides, with the help of Zhou Gongzi and his entourage, there was nothing wrong at all. ”

Zhou Tian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out more than five taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Gan Lin, "This is the money from selling straw hats today." ”

Gan Lin took it and asked again: "Brothers have already gone to the county?" ”

"Well, let Lao Ma arrange for two brothers who are familiar with the situation in the county to go together, it will be fine, don't worry."

Thinking of what Lao Ma reported to him, Zhou Tian pulled Gan Lin aside, "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Gan Lin obediently followed him to the backyard.

"What?"

Zhou Tian said: "There is news of your fourth sister-in-law." ”

"It's the first fourth sister-in-law." Gan Lin emphasized a sentence before asking, "Where is she?" ”
