Chapter Ninety-Three: The Problem
Da Mao, the matter of a few of them studying has been settled. As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, Zeng Ruixiang found Master Luo's apprentice to make more than ten sets of simple tables and chairs, and then went to find the third mother-in-law, the most children and grandchildren in her family, Zeng Ruixiang of course hoped that the children in the family could read some books, the third mother-in-law came out of tears when she heard it, took Zeng Ruixiang's hand and said: "Sanniang is right to look at you, you and Yumei are good children, Sanniang He didn't want to send them to study and know a few words, it's not that the family is poor, these two years have your help, what kind of potatoes are planted, the days of several families are much more relaxed, Especially the third family, Sanniang understands it in her heart. Don't worry, although they don't have much money, they still have the strength, and in the future, you can only call them for work in the field, don't go outside. ”
Coming out of the third mother-in-law's house, Zeng Ruixiang went to Lizheng's house again, such a thing that is beneficial to the whole village, Li Zheng immediately notified from door to door, and the reaction of the villagers was to wait and see, after all, teenage children can still help the family do a lot of work, and there are also stingy and reluctant to be restrained, Zeng Ruixiang explained that anything can be deducted, and he prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
But the village people just refused to pay out, and at the end of the month, when the school started, only four children in the village came, it is said that one is still the son of the Lizheng family, plus the three grandsons of the third mother-in-law's family and the three of them, and Zishou, the number of people in the class is only eleven, Zeng Ruixiang was a little disappointed, Shen persuaded him to take his time, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Ziqing saw that Zeng Ruixiang's enlightenment book was "Three Character Classic", Ziqing looked through the whole book, the most recent content is the Tang and Song dynasties, Ziqing rummaged in the study again, and finally understood that the history here is that the time spanning of the Yuan Dynasty is very long, more than 400 years, and because of the strong opening of the Yuan Dynasty, advanced industry and agriculture in Europe were introduced into China, such as Ziqing knew that glass, potatoes, sweet potatoes, watermelons, cotton planting, etc., resulting in this era is slightly more advanced than the Ming and Qing dynasties in the same period in history.
The current dynasty surnamed Li was established less than 100 years ago. The name of the country is the wind, and it is the time of stability and strength. At least so far, Ziqing has not heard of any wars or anything like that. Fortunately, Ziqing was glad that she didn't wear the stormy times.
Zeng Ruixiang's private school has opened, from three o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, and the afternoon is basically a free activity, and Zeng Ruixiang, who is willing to practice calligraphy, will give one or two pointers. The children are used to being wild outside, and they are very uncomfortable at first, so Zeng Ruixiang is not too tight.
Everyone else is okay to say. Only Ermao is the most difficult to discipline, naughty and troublesome at all costs, and the most infuriating thing is to bully the weak for no reason. Almost every day, someone came to Zeng Ruixiang to complain, which made Zeng Ruixiang a headache, and if it went on like this, a limited number of children would not be able to keep it.
Ziqing wanted to go to the school to read and write seriously, but the family really couldn't do without people. In addition, after hearing about the bad deeds of Ermao, I have some scruples about the school, I am a yellow-haired girl, and I am not specifically bullied when I go to the corner. Besides, Su Riqing was very disgusted with them, and he couldn't wait to hide as far as he could. So I didn't mention this stubble to my father.
The days are coming to March, because the sixth day of March is the day when Xiao Xiuying gets married. Shen asked Ziyu to tell Ziqing to take care of the house, came to the old house alone, and discussed with Zhou about adding makeup, seeing that Zhou's door was locked, Tian and Qiu Yu were chattering in a low voice, and they seemed to be a little angry, and their faces were not very good-looking.
Seeing Shen enter the house, Tian and the others hurriedly stopped. Shen said what he meant, and Tian said that Zhou took the child in the stove room. Shen found Zhou in the stove room.
As soon as they met, before Shen could speak, Zhou asked mysteriously, "Brother and sister, have you heard?" Xiuying lost a pair of gold earrings in her makeup, and they all suspected that they stole it from Da Mao, and there were no outsiders at home, so they always went to the back room, if they weren't they, could they still be ghosts? Xiuying was so anxious that she cried. I locked the door when I was not in the room, Ziping heard her grandmother tell Qiuyu, it seems that there are fewer copper plates in the house, my mother doesn't dare to shout out, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on. I don't plan to stay here, and we'll go to the city after the wine, and I can't leave to do the work in the fields now. These three short-lived ghosts, they are disgusting to see, lazy and delicious, their hands and feet are not clean, I think my mother will one day, I can't find a place to cry. They are studying with you, and you should also keep a little heart, so that they don't get into the house. ”
When Shen heard this, he was too surprised and said, "Can't it, a child who is only a few years old dares to steal gold earrings and pay them back when he grows up?" I have to go to Linshan at the end of the month, my little brother's second brother is going to get married, I originally planned to play with the whole family for two days, let my father help me watch the second day of the house, listen to you, I still have to think about it. ”
"But no, as soon as my father goes, those three ghosts are not allowed to follow, you haven't seen the old swallow like that, I can't wait to live in your house and not come out, I live so old, I haven't seen that cheeky, fortunately, your eldest brother doesn't even tell them now, your eldest brother has a black face, and they are still a little afraid."
Shen smiled and said, "No, even my child's father is afraid of his eldest brother." The two talked about gossip again, and Shen took his leave.
Talking to Zeng Ruixiang about this at night, Zeng Ruixiang sighed and said: "There is no factual basis, don't spread it randomly, it is estimated that it is Ermao, this child has beaten and scolded, and scolded and scolded, it is a thing that does not enter the oil and salt, I can't control it, one day I will talk to my father and mother." ”
"What's the use of that? Ah Gong has scolded hundreds of times. Ziqing came in and said.
At this time, Zishou came in after Ziqing and said: "Brother Ermao always has a copper plate in his pocket, he always buys something to eat, and says that whoever wants to say it will beat him." ”
Shen asked Ermao's performance in the school again, and Zishou went out to practice calligraphy and said to her husband: "This child can't be kept, he is used to stealing from home, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not steal outside, he will study in your school, which will ruin your reputation and bring other troubles." ”
"Who's to say it isn't? But now that I've only been here for a month, even if I open my mouth to dismiss him, not to mention our mother's pass, with his father's temperament, he may not agree. Do you think, these three big boys, said to be raised by their fathers and mothers, but in fact they are not our silver, can he be willing not to take advantage of this? For now, how to think of a way to get him to take the initiative to leave. ”
"I can't pass my mother's level first, you forgot that day my brother-in-law asked the children to come to school, what my mother said, don't say it, I'm really afraid that you will be soft-hearted and agree." Shen said.
"I'm going to agree softly, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do, I listen to Qing'er, you build a few rooms in the school, you take a few of your nephews to live by yourself, our mother has lived without you for so many years, isn't it good?"
"Dad, this really has nothing to do with me, I just said casually, don't take it seriously, Dad finally thought about the home where we just returned, how can I say I don't want Dad? I also praised my father with my eldest brother, saying that my father was finally tough. Ziqing saw that her father's gaze was meaningful, and she hurriedly found an excuse to run.
After Ziqing left, the husband and wife laughed and discussed for a long time, but there was no good result, so they had to press the matter for the time being and rest early. (To be continued)
