Chapter 598: Civil Suffering

The son/younger brother who couldn't think of finding a short-sighted view because of the failure of the childhood test actually had the idea of continuing to study.

At night, Father Chen tossed and turned, and turned back and forth several times on the simple clay kang, so worried that his hair fell out.

Hearing the movement of the people beside her, Mrs. Chen, who was also uncalm in her heart, also opened her eyes and stared at the night with her eyes open in the dark house.

There was silence between the old couple.

After a long time, Mrs. Chen sighed heavily, worried: "Old Chen, what do you say is going on?" San'er still wants to continue reading, but if there is another accident, how can you and I bear it, how should this be good. ”

In the bed, Father Chen replied in a muffled voice: "Since he wants to read, let him read it, it's only three years, and our family is not short of these taels of silver." ”

Mrs. Chen wanted to speak and stopped, worried: "It's not a matter of money or not, it's a matter of San'er ......"

"Don't think about it, it's enough to look for death and life once, you have to believe in your son."

Having said that, Daddy Chen was also very uncertain in his heart, and he didn't know whether to believe his son's words or not.

I think so, but as the head of the family, Father Chen must have a firm attitude: "Okay, go to sleep, your two daughters will leave tomorrow, we have to get up early in the morning and prepare something for them." ”

After the words fell, a soft snoring sounded beside him.

Hearing this voice, Chen Lao Niang sighed lowly, and finally closed her eyes in the night and barely fell asleep.

And Chen Sansi, who was in the other room, didn't know the entanglement of the old couple at all.

After making the decision to 'improve', he can be said to be refreshed, just as he was when he was most calm and happy in his previous life.

The next day, the two Chen sisters returned together.

Sitting on the ox cart, they beckoned to Chen Sansi.

"San'er, come here, my eldest sister and I have something to tell you."

At the mention of the boss of the Chen family, the corners of Chen Sansi's mouth twitched vaguely.

Even though a whole night has passed, he remembers the feeling of squatting with a basin of water yesterday very clearly.

After all, his calves still hurt slightly.

Fearful and afraid, but unable to let anyone see it, Chen Sansi approached the two sisters without changing his face.

Seeing this, the second eldest of the Chen family and the eldest of the Chen family glanced at each other, and the two avoided the sight of the old couple of the Chen family, secretly stuffed Chen Sansi with two purses, and quickly whispered two words in his ear:

"San'er, your second sister and I are married, I can't help the family, and I can't help you anything, this bit of silver is the heart of the eldest sister and the second sister, don't tell your father, save it yourself, eat it when you should eat, don't save it if you shouldn't save it, studying is the most wasteful money."

Chen Sansi pinched his purse.

In each purse there were two taels of broken silver, as well as a few copper coins, a total of four taels and a few cents.

In the five years of Sheng'an, the grain in the world was abundant, and the agricultural industry in several places worked hand in hand, but few people starved to death.

However, most families are only able to maintain food and clothing, and if they want to go to the next level, they can only work hard and strive to climb to the top, either to get money or power.

In this way, we can have food and clothing.

In the days of wealth, Chen Sansi has lived for more than 20 years in his last life, as the third prince of Chen Guo, he has always been arrogant and extravagant, and his food and use are all the best, even if he is used to reward the waiter next to him, there are more than four taels that leak out from between his fingers.

Even in the years when he was sent to the Jin Kingdom as a proton was the most decadent, there was a relationship with Qi Changrong, and no one dared to detain one of his things in secret.

He had no idea about gold and silver.

He had never felt anything before.

Now, I really understand that these four taels carry the deepest expectations of his relatives for him.

After a while, the boss of the Chen family rubbed Chen Sansi's hairstyle and said with a smile: "Sister supports your idea, but you also have to remember that you must not be too difficult for yourself, this book, if you can continue to read it, you can continue to read it, and you can't continue to read it...... That's it, in the eyes of my father and mother, the so-called future is not as important as your life. ”

There are a thousand ways for this person to live, but no matter how he lives, as long as he can live, it is excellent.

Obviously, Chen San'er's suicide by throwing himself into the river left a great shadow on the two sisters of the Chen family.

Even at this moment, Chen Sansi stood in front of them completely, but as long as he remembered the sadness and despair when he learned the news a few days ago, his heart was clenched and hurt.

The ox cart drove away from the front of Chen's house.

The sunlight shone through the clouds and fell golden on the fields, and Chen Sansi stood outside the door, looking at the direction of the carriage with uncertain eyes.

Daddy Chen walked with a cane and patted the back of his head gently: "Don't look at it, your two sisters are married, and they can't stay at home for a long time, and some people will gossip about them." ”

At this time, Chen Sansi, who had been silent for a long time, slowly stretched out his hand and revealed the two purses held in the palm of his hand: "Daddy, this is given to me by the eldest sister and the second sister." ”

What is in the purse, it goes without saying.

This 'Daddy', this 'eldest sister' and 'second sister', Chen Sansi shouted willingly.

In his previous life, he couldn't get the pure family affection, and he fell into an endless whirlpool and was twisted to pieces, in this life, or God saw him pitiful, so he compensated him with great mercy.

He was delighted.

Suddenly, Father Chen's eyes were slightly red: "These two children are really not worry-free, and obviously their own small family is not rich." ”

Hearing this, Chen Sansi pursed his lips, and felt that he shouldn't accept it easily in a daze: "Do you want to return this silver?" ”

"That's it." Father Chen shook his head, his expression quickly returned to normal, ignoring the reddish eyes, and his face showed a little coldness: "Since this was given to you by the two sisters, you can put it away and use it when you need it, don't let down their hearts." ”

“…… Oh. ”

Hearing this, Chen Sansi really put it in the placket on his chest and patted it carefully to ensure that it was tight.

It was not until the ox cart could no longer be seen that the two in charge turned around and went back to the house.

Then, Chen Sansi blinked, pulled out of some kind of thought, and felt that it was time to put something on the agenda.

"Daddy, what's my name?"

When the words fell, Father Chen gave him a strange look: "Stupid? Your name is Chen San'er. ”

"I want to change my name." Daddy Chen almost blew his beard angrily and glared: "This is a good name that your father came up with after three nights, and you are not satisfied?!" ”

Chen Sansi glanced at him: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I just think there can be better." ”

Father Chen frowned: "You talk about it first." ”

"Just one word." Chen Sansi's voice was extremely serious: "Chen Sansi, beforehand, think twice before acting, that is, remind yourself to be cautious and cautious, this is three thoughts." ”

"Sounds pretty good." Father Chen squinted, and his half-truths and half-truths were gone: "Since you have already thought about it, I will go to the yamen in a few days to change your household registration." ”

……

Sheng'an 5th year, August 12.

The Chen family has already started to get busy.

The entire six acres of land are only taken care of by the two elders of the Chen family.

In the field, Daddy Chen was on crutches and wearing an old straw hat, harvesting rice in the field under the scorching sun.

With each stubble, he moved the small bench half an inch forward.

Not far away, Mrs. Chen is the same, but compared to Father Chen, who is a little sluggish, Mrs. Chen is much more neat, and she cuts a long line out after a while.

At noon, Chen Sansi came to deliver food and water, and the old couple squatted under the tree and ate with a big gulp.

Drinking water after the meal, Mrs. Chen drank some sweet taste, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "San'er, did you put sugar in the water?" ”

"Just a little bit." Chen Sansi lied without changing his face, and stubbornly threw a large piece of candy into a mess.

As a veteran of the kitchen, if you want to make such a large pot of water have such sweetness, where can a little sugar do it?

How could Mrs. Chen not hear this inferior lie?

However, she didn't say much, only nodded, and handed the water bladder to Father Chen: "Don't really say it, the water with sugar is different to drink, and the whole person is refreshed in one gulp." ”

"Really? Then I'll taste a few bites too. Daddy Chen took a big sip, then smacked his lips and tasted: "It's really good, sweet." ”

After eating, Chen Sansi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the old couple rested in the shade of the tree for a while, taking advantage of the sun to hide in the clouds, and when it was not so vicious for the time being, they devoted themselves to the harvesting business.

After a while, Chen Sansi took his things home, and then he took out a small sickle from a corner, carried a small basket on his back, and walked to the field.

Seeing him coming, and he was fully equipped, Father Chen was stunned, and he couldn't react: "San'er, what are you doing here?" ”

"Come and cut the grain." Chen Sansi found a position, squatted down, and got to work seriously.

Not to mention, although he was born with his hands, he could watch the old couple of the Chen family cut rice for a few days, and he did his work decently.

Not long after, his hand, which was still white and tender, was strangled with a few red marks.

At this time, Mrs. Chen came over and said disapprovingly: "San'er, you still have to go to the school in early September, but you can't waste time here, let's go home and study quickly." ”

"It's not a waste of time, and besides, I've written down everything in those books."

At the age of ten, he was able to take the children's exam, which proves that the original Chen San'er was also a smart child.

Not to mention Chen Sansi, who has memories of his previous life, in the face of those books that have already been ripe, he can pick them up again without much effort.

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "It's enough for me and your father to do these jobs, how much can you do at a young age, what's more, you haven't done this since you were a child, it's better to go up the mountain with your friends to hunt birds." ”

"You can help as much as you can, the day before you go to school."

While speaking, Chen Sansi's movements did not stop.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to look at Father Chen as if asking for help.
