Chapter 34 I was going to turn my heart to the bright moon

After selling all the six pigs in the family, and seeing that the silver was still a little short, Aunt Cha Wu gritted her teeth and went to the town with Chen Wu carrying chickens and ducks and carrying grain.

Although it was closer to the city, she inquired clearly, and the price of chickens and ducks in this town was half a penny a pound more expensive than in the city.

As for grain, selling wheat in this season is about a penny more expensive than in the city.

Coming and going, although tired, you can exchange dozens of dollars more.

When the youngest son went to study in the academy, she and Chen Wu would be left in the family in the future. These dozens of dollars can buy a small bag of coarse grains, enough for them to eat for a while.

According to the agreement, tomorrow is the day of enrollment. So today I must save enough silver, and by the way, I will buy a good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and my youngest son will be able to use it.

She had already gone to intercede with Master Li of Mufeng Academy, and the other party also agreed to accept Chen Yuang, so she waited to report tomorrow.

Thinking that her two sons could study in the academy in the city, Aunt Zha was full of strength. The two sons are studying, and there is an extra layer of security, and one is counted as one. Moreover, it is better to have the boss watching all the time, or the two brothers supervising each other, than one.

In this regard, Chen Wu has some different opinions.

The eldest son is okay, and he has been studying for two years, and it is indeed a pity to let him come back to farm now.

What if, what if you get in?

However, the youngest son is obviously not the material for reading. Not to mention chasing chickens and dogs during the day, he also learned from Huang's son Chen Qianqi to peek at women taking a bath.

Fortunately, he hasn't even grown his hair yet, and his mother-in-law is so powerful, otherwise, the other party will never follow.

is such a child, saying that he can study, Chen Wu will not believe it if he is killed.

After thinking about it, Chen Wu said, "Mother, let me tell you something." But, be clear, you can't hit me or lose your temper. ”

Seeing Chen Wu being so cautious, Aunt Cha Wu sneered and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, the old lady is not that unreasonable person." As long as what you say is reasonable and you don't talk nonsense, I promise not to get angry. ”

"Okay, I said it, that...... That ......"

"If you have a fart, let it go, my mother doesn't like such a stammering urine sex person the most."

To say that the weather is really hot, Aunt Cha is carrying more than 20 chickens and ducks on her back, and I don't know how many chickens and ducks have, anyway, her back is stinky.

Listening to Chen Wu stammering like this, he was naturally a little angry.

"Can we not let Wooang go to the city to study?" Chen Wu plucked up the courage and said what he thought in his heart.

"What? Your words to me are not ...... the wind in my ears" Aunt Cha said as she made a gesture to hit someone.

In this regard, Chen Wu was stubborn, and said as he walked forward: "You won't be angry as you just said, then, don't hit me, if I can't walk steadily, this wheat will be worthless when it falls into the ground." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Cha stopped the attack, and the road was indeed not wide. It's just that he is still unyielding: "Say that you are short-sighted, you just don't believe it." Let me ask you, did you see that even Chen Nerd had bought land, and his eyes were red, so he also wanted to save some money to buy land? ”

I have to say that Aunt Cha Wu's pulse of her man's thoughts is still relatively accurate.

Since that day's "Boundary Monument Incident", Chen Wu has been unable to figure out one thing, that is, why Chen Jixing, who is poor and white, is now living better than him. Go back a year, and he Chen Jixing is nothing.

After thinking about it for a long time, I calculated the family's expenses a little, and found that the eldest son had spent more money in the private school in the past two years than the family of three combined. No wonder people say that studying is a bottomless pit, and those who don't have a little family background don't dare to send their children to study at all.

It's good now, I don't have any output, and now I have to send my youngest son to school. If this continues, the family will only get poorer and poorer in the future.

Why Chen Jixing's family couldn't stand up straight in the village before, except for the challenge of not being able to give birth to a son, was mainly because the family was poor.

He didn't want to be like that.

Seeing that Chen Wu was silent, Aunt Cha Wu had an arrogant expression of "I knew it was like this", and "hummed", so she arrogantly educated Chen Wulai.

"Call you a fool, you still don't believe it. Let's talk about Chen Jixing first, he bought the land, but so what? As for his mother-in-law's cowardice, it is estimated that she will not be able to give birth to a son. So, what do they do when they get old? Qianyan's girl is always going to get married. When the time comes, it's hard to say who this land will belong to. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wu's heart felt a little better, and there was indeed a rule in the village that women were not allowed to inherit the family business. If Chen Jixing's family has never been able to give birth to a son, then no matter how capable Chen Jixing and the Ye family are, no matter how much wealth they accumulate, it will be useless.

"People can recruit a son-in-law for Qianyan to come to the door."

In this regard, Aunt Cha was even more disdainful: "You think the son-in-law is so easy to find." In these years, if you are not cornered, who is willing to let your son out. And ah, when this man comes to the door, he will never be able to hold his head up. When the time comes, the couple will not get along, and who knows what will happen. Besides, is it useful to recruit people? What if I have more daughters? ”

"That's right" In terms of words, Chen Wu has never been able to check Aunt Wu.

"Let's talk about the village chief's house. Let me ask you, why do you say everyone is respectful to him Chen Jifa now? ”

"It's not because he's the village chief"

"You fool" said, Aunt Cha Wu couldn't help but poke Chen Wu, and then continued: "Then let me ask you, before his Qianfan boy was admitted to Xiucai, were you so respectful?" ”

After thinking about it, Chen Wu said, "That's not true, that's it." ”

That's right, the reason why everyone respects him is not because his family is so angry that he was admitted to Xiucai. Now I'm ready to go down at any time, and I'm going to take the exam. I'll tell you......"

Seeing that there was no one around, Aunt Cha Wu approached Chen Wu and said mysteriously: "I have heard that recently, many people in the village have sent a lot of things to his family!" What's the picture, it's not that I think that Qianfan Kid has raised people in high school, and he wants to follow the light. I've heard from my eldest son that if Qianfan wins the lift, then put our family's land in his name, and there is no need to pay rent. ”

"Seriously?"

It's one thing to hear about it, but it's another thing to hear your own son. And now the most knowledgeable person in the family is Chen Yuxuan.

"That's nature, how could my son lie to me. So, let me ask you, do you want to beg others and put your land in someone else's name, or do you want to put my high school at home? ”

No matter how stupid Chen Wu is, he naturally knows the difference between the two. If you ask someone to see the color of the other party, you will naturally give the other party benefits.

"Naturally, it's better to be in high school, but ......"

"Alright, don't be. I'm not the unreasonable. In this way, if the eldest child fails the test three times, and if Yu Ang really doesn't want to stay in a private school, then I will let them come back to work. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wu naturally agreed, and smiled rarely.

"What are you afraid of, our two boys are both strong. If...... If they really can't eat this bowl of rice, they can come back and farm. When the time comes, the four of us will work together, and the days will only get better and better. Speaking of which, the eldest child is also twelve years old this year, and it is time to get married. ”

"Forget it, let's wait, at least wait until he takes the test." Aunt Cha's words made Chen Wu see hope, so he didn't agree to marry Chen Yuxuan so early.

He knows that women and things are the most disturbing.

Aunt Cha Wu just talked casually, and when she saw that Chen Wu was on the road, she naturally didn't mention it.

When they arrived in town, the couple was soaking wet. Hurriedly went to the market in one go, found a place to arrange chickens, ducks and wheat, and the couple had the opportunity to fan the wind coolly.

Thinking that Da Niu's mother refused to borrow the ox cart, Aunt Cha Wu was angry. fantasized about waiting for his son to go to high school, and then the new and old hatreds would be counted together.

Speaking of which, isn't it just that she moved the boundary monument of the Ye family, but what is the matter with Da Niu's mother. She looked like she had moved her family's boundary marker.

Fortunately, they learned from the experience of the Ye family, and the chickens and ducks were fed well and sold quickly. Wheat is also clean and sells quickly due to the careful dusting.

When the money was in hand, there were smiles on the faces of Aunt Zha Wu and Chen Wu.

In this way, the couple was reluctant to drink a sip of water, went to the bookstore to buy the cheapest and lowest-grade pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and still walked back with a basket on their backs and an empty bamboo basket.

After walking a few steps, Aunt Cha Wu had an extra heart, turned around and bought a scallion pancake, and wrapped it in paper.

When I got on the way, I picked a few more taro leaves and wrapped them in them, and then put them in a bamboo basket.

Chen Wu stopped, and when Aunt Cha Wu put the scallion pancakes away, she asked a little sneeringly, "What are you buying this biscuit?" ”

In fact, he wanted to ask for a long time, but because there were many people in the market just now, he was afraid that Aunt Cha would embarrass him in public, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Well, is your son easy to persuade? Without this scallion pancake, it is estimated that he would not agree to go to the academy to study. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wu thought about it, that kid was very skinny, and his temperament was stubborn. Unless there is something beneficial, they will not listen to persuasion at all.

Hurried to the house, both of them were very thirsty, rushed to the kitchen, one took a bowl and the other took a scoop, scooped water directly from the tank and began to pour it. Since I went out in the morning, I haven't drunk water for most of the day, and I'm really thirsty.

At this time, it was already past the meal, so after drinking the water, Aunt Cha Wu was in a hurry to cook, and Chen Wu went out to find Chen Yuang.

When Chen Wu found him, he was squatting under the tree alone and having fun.

This kid, the other children all went home for dinner, but he knew that Aunt Cha Wu and Chen Wu had gone to the market and didn't come back so soon, so he refused to go home.

Take the words of Aunt Cha Wu, that is, I can't wait to stay outside all the time except eating and sleeping.

"Dad, is the meal ready?" Chen Yu asked without raising his head, and continued to squat on the ground to play with the ants with straw sticks.

These ants were carrying a small green worm with rotten intestines, and Chen Yuang thought it was funny, so he poked the little green worm off the ant with a straw stick from time to time, making the ants spin around.

Seeing this, Chen Wu had a feeling of sadness coming from it. Although his mother-in-law was spicy and unreasonable, her words were good, and this child had to be sent to the academy to take care of it.

How can a ten-year-old child be so ignorant?

Take the boss as an example, before going to school, he would only be more skinny than this kid, but now he is not obedient to the master's control, and he has learned simple arithmetic.

"Your mother is doing something, let's go, go home, my father will tell you a good thing."

"What's the good thing? Oh, is it about going to the academy? I'm telling you, I'm not going. ”

"Your mother and I sold chickens, ducks and wheat, and bought you a scallion pancake. The bread was fragrant, and it was still covered with meat......"

Hearing this, Chen Yuang was really interested, hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile to Chen Wu: "Dad, what you said is true?" Let's go, I'm not playing, let's go back. ”

As he spoke, he took Chen Wu and went home, which made Chen Wu cry and laugh.

However, he admired Aunt Cha a little, and she was really like a god.

When I got home, the sweet potato gruel in Aunt Cha's pot had just been boiled, and the steam was floating up and down the lid of the pot, making a burst of sound.

Seeing that her son was back, Aunt Cha Wu motioned for Chen Wu to sit down at the fire position, and she stood up, picked up the cloth towel that she had just washed her face and had no time to wrung it, wrung it out, and said while lovingly wiping Chen Yuang's hands and face: "Look at you, I don't know if I come back at this time, I see you dry." ”

Chen Yuang said: "You and your father are not here, and it is not interesting for me to be alone at home." By the way, mother, my father said that you bought me scallion pancakes, where are they? I'm so hungry, I want to eat! Give it to me! ”

As he spoke, he was about to arch into Aunt Cha's arms, which made Aunt Cha Wu upset for a while.

How old is the child, and in a few years he will say goodbye, where is there such a thing? It seems that it is imperative to go to the academy.

After thinking about it, he said, "There are naturally scallion pancakes. It's just that you have to promise your mother a condition. ”

"On what terms?" While asking, he looked around for the scallion pancake. It's just that the cake has been hidden by Aunt Cha, and he can't find it at all.

"Come with us into the city tomorrow and go to your brother's academy to study."

"I'm not going."

"Okay, don't eat this cake, it's just a pity that it's such a big egg cake, and there is so much meat in it......"

"Okay, I promise, it's just, it's just that you'll have to buy me another one tomorrow, oh no, buy two loaves."

"It's a deal."

As she spoke, Aunt Cha turned around and went to the water tank, and she didn't know where to take out the thing wrapped in taro leaves and handed it to Chen Yuang: "Eat, eat well and be obedient, and follow us to the city tomorrow." ”

After taking the scallion pancake, Chen Yuang devoured a few bites and ate it, thinking that he would just play tricks tomorrow, anyway, it was like this every time, and if he didn't go, they couldn't help it.

Who knows, this time, Aunt Zha Wu and Chen Wu are determined to send him to study, so they can't run away at all.

After lunch, Chen Yuang went out to play as usual, and Chen Wu smoked a few puffs of dry tobacco and went to the ground. Aunt Cha didn't go out, turned over the cabinets and found a gray-blue cloth, drew it one by one, and began to sew a bookbag for Chen Yuang.

In the city and in the town, there are bookbags that sell pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, but the price is extremely expensive. Those fabrics are good, some materials are not as good as the one she holds in her hand, but they will sell for hundreds of yuan.

You know, this cloth cost her less than 150 wen at the beginning.

Though they sold pigs, and chickens and ducks, they did not have much money. When the bundle is handed over, there will be little left.

I have to say that although Aunt Cha is lazy and spicy, she is still very concerned about her two sons. Although the needlework is average, the sewn bookbag is still passable.

After sewing the bookbag, she rested for a while, rubbed her eyes, and then took out a set of summer shirts. This dress was bought by the pig last time, but she kept it hidden and didn't take it out.

After dinner, she chattered for a while, prepared for a while, and then went to bed in a daze.

Early in the morning of the second day, after making breakfast, Aunt Zha Wu pulled Chen Yuang up from the bed, washed her face with cold water, and slapped again, Chen Yuang finally sobered up, stood crookedly, and let Aunt Zha rub it.

"Mother, why did you pull me up so early? I still want to sleep. Chen Yuang closed his eyes and began to complain. According to his old habits, he would not wake up until three o'clock in the morning.

But it wasn't dawn yet.

"Sleep what you sleep! Just know to sleep, that's all! You forgot, we're going to report to the academy today. Your brother said that the academy gets up earlier than that, and in the future, you don't want to sleep lazy. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuang was so frightened that he instantly sobered up.

Seeing that Aunt Cha put new clothes on him, and there was a bookbag next to him, which was bulging, thinking that it was the annoying pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Chen Yuang knew that he couldn't escape today no matter what.

Not to mention, it's really people who rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles.

His face was washed, he was wearing new clothes, and he was carrying a bookbag.

Along the way, the villagers who were in a hurry to enter the city to catch the market naturally met Aunt Cha's family of three, without exception, they all praised Chen Yuang, and they were happy to have Aunt Cha's exaggerated laughter, and even Chen Wu rarely showed a sincere smile.

When has his son been praised so much?

And take a closer look, his son is still good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese face, but he really has a heroic spirit.

Therefore, Chen Wu can be regarded as "high-spirited" today, he is in good spirits, he talks more, and he begins to chat warmly with the villagers in the same car.

"Chen Wu, you two are okay, both sons are sent to the academy in the city to study. Chen Yuang, if you are developed in the future, you can't forget your uncle. ”

"That's it, this kid looks very energetic today, but I couldn't see it before......"

"How can you! Uncle, borrow your auspicious words, if the two children go to high school in the future, they will be the first to kowtow to you. ”

This person is Chen Yuang's uncle, and today he saw that the family was dressed neatly, and the five aunts were happy and happy, so they didn't charge their car money. What if the family is developed!

This made Chen Wu feel more and more that his mother-in-law's decision was right.

No, I haven't gone to school yet, but I'm going to go to school in the city, and people won't charge for the car. If he really went to high school one day, what would be the treatment that their family would enjoy?

Thinking of this, Chen Wu felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

When I arrived in the city, I walked a little way according to my memory, asked a few more people, and the family of three found Mufeng Academy.

None of the people asked were embarrassed by the family of three, after all, they were going to the academy, which was also a meaningful thing.

When she arrived at the gate of the academy, Aunt Zha thought she was good and asked the concierge decently, so she said humbly: "Little brother, please go in and pass it on, just say that I am looking for Chen Yuxuan from the enlightenment class, please let him come out." ”

Seeing that the porter didn't move, Aunt Cha Wu added: "You just said that his father and mother brought his younger brother to report to the academy and told him to come out." ”

The management of Mufeng Academy is very strict, and idlers are not allowed to enter, and they need to be passed on to the other party to pick up people.

The little brother saw that Aunt Cha had a good attitude, the family was honest, and Chen Yuang was dressed like that, and he heard that the other party was coming to report to school, so he knew it, so he went to find Chen Yuxuan.

After a while, Chen Yuxuan came out and saw that his father and mother really came with his younger brother, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

As for his younger brother, he couldn't have entered the academy in the first place.

It's just that who made his mother "brave", dared to rush directly into Li Fuzi's room in the name of picking him up, kowtowing and crying, a handful of snot and tears, begging bitterly, and the situation was very miserable.

No, that Master Li is also kind-hearted, and he pities Aunt Cha's motherly heart, although he did not open his mouth and promised to stay in the end, he also agreed that Chen Yuang would follow the enlightenment class to read and write, in order to see the after-effects.

However, people say it very clearly: "If we are really stupid and do not obey discipline, we will be kicked out." Don't mess around again. ”

But Aunt Cha Wu has always believed to herself that she can persist if she is as naughty as her eldest son, so she doesn't believe that Chen Yuang will be "returned".

With Chen Yuxuan leading the way, things went very smoothly. After the introduction, and Li Fuzi had already said hello, no one made it difficult in all aspects.

After a handover, the formalities were very smooth.

After completing the admission procedures, Aunt Cha pulled Chen Yuxuan aside, and said, "Yuxuan, this is your own brother, you have to take care of it." If he is disobedient and only knows how to be stubborn, you can just beat him. ”

said and began to fantasize again: "If you and you can both go to high school, my mother will be worth it no matter how hard and tired my mother is, hey......"

On the other side, Chen Wu was also cheering for Chen Yuang, who was bowing his head: "Son, you also saw that in order to let you go to the city to study, my father and mother even sold pigs and wheat." You've got to work hard. Your brother came before you, and if you don't understand anything in the future, ask your brother. ”

Chen Yuang originally wanted to talk back, saying that he didn't want to come at all, and he was forced to come. But when I saw that Aunt Cha was wiping away tears, and saw Chen Yuxuan's "fierce" eyes, she responded indiscriminately.

After explaining earnestly, Aunt Cha wiped her eyes, and then was pulled away by Chen Wu.

In this way, the couple's wish was finally fulfilled, and both sons entered the academy.

It's just that the couple had great hopes and spent a "huge amount of money" begging their father to tell their grandmother to send their children to the academy, thinking that they could benefit, but they made a big joke.

More than ten days later, because of Chen Yuang, Chenjia Village will be lively again.

It's just that this excitement is somewhat of a joke, and it makes Aunt Cha's family unable to raise their heads for a long time, and Chen Qianfan, who is more and more foiled, is so valuable.

Of course, everyone understands a truth, that is, books are not so easy to read, and Xiucai is not so easy to test.

The author has something to say: Today's second update
