The little brothers' father was not right.

They are happy when they are praised, and they cannot deprive their sister of the qualification to be praised.

Ming Wu grinned and nodded slightly, "If you don't tell your father, can you tell your mother?" ”

Xiao Hongkang: ......

Xiao Hongping: ......

"Sister, we can't tell my mother that my father and mother are in the same group; We're all in this together. "If I tell my mother, my father will definitely know.

The little brothers were frightened, and although the father did not beat people like the second uncle, it was also very scary when he was serious.

"Okay." Reluctantly agreed.

Xiao Hongping and Xiao Hongkang exhaled slowly, but fortunately, their sister was coaxing.

Two flowers bloom.

Xiao Zhengning followed the patriarch to the private school, which turned out to be an uninhabited barren house, without even a yard; Now, a fence has been built around the house, the yard has been cleaned, the roof has been repaired, and the walls have been repaired. There are three rooms in total, one is used as a classroom, one is used as a study room, and one is used as Xiao Zhengning's office room.

"Zhengning, you can still be satisfied with it, what do you need to add, just ask."

"Everything is fine, the patriarch bothered." There are more than a dozen tables and chairs in the lecture room, and there are bookshelves in the study room, although empty, but there are real ones; The room left for him had a bed, a set of tables and chairs.

The bed can be used as a place to rest, and a set of tables and chairs are prepared for him to write, draw, and discharge things.

The patriarch shook his head with a smile, "What is this, compared to the enlightenment you gave to the children in the clan and the village, it is not worth mentioning; As soon as I put the news out, many people in the clan and the village said that they would send their children over. I made it clear to them about the bunch, if you have money to give money, you can also take some vegetables and eggs to thank you if you don't have money. ”

"It's just right to have both ways." can do something practical for the clan, and it can also reduce the burden on the family.

"When are the lectures scheduled?"

After going around in a circle, the patriarch finally got to the point.

"I have nothing to do at home, I will talk for half a day tomorrow, and I will go back to the county school in the afternoon; In the future, it will be counted as half a day in the afternoon and half a day in the afternoon on the second day. "I have to make time to go back and forth to the county school.

The patriarch nodded again and again, "That's okay, it's just that I'm going to work hard for you; In the county school, he lectured as a father and son, and when he came back, he had no leisure. ”

"It's okay, I also hope that there will be a few more promising young people in the clan or in the village, and in the future, we can support each other in the long run; I used to have to take care of myself, but now I have free time to give lectures. ”

"You're a good one."

After sending the people away, the patriarch went to the chief's house and chatted about the private school; By the way, he said a lot of good things to Xiao Zhengning, as for Xiao Zhengrong, forget it, even his daughter can't teach him well. In the past, Xiao Zhengning, the elder brother, was in front, and Xiao Zhengrong was useless and never made a mistake.

Once the family was divided, all of Xiao Zhengrong's shortcomings were exposed.

The two daughters are not successful, and their hearts and eyes do not need to be on serious matters; One murdered someone, and the other was terrible, and he actually wanted to step on his cousin, who was younger than her.

After coming out of Lizheng's house, the patriarch returned home, and when the patriarch's wife saw him come back, she raised her hand and poured him a glass of warm water.

The patriarch took it and drank it all, "Zhengning said that there will be a half-day class tomorrow, and you should ask the children who are coming over from your mother's side not to be late; Zhengning didn't have a serious restraint, it was considered to be free enlightenment for the children, the clan was too poor, and he couldn't even tie Zhengning. ”

"There's no way to do it, you can only grieve Zhengning first; You don't have to worry about my mother's side, I'll let them come over tonight; If you live in our house, you can go to class early tomorrow morning. The patriarch's wife said.

"There is an empty room at home, so it's good to let the little brothers come over." The patriarch nodded in response, and the patriarch's wife hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law to go to her mother's house.

The daughter-in-law is the benefit of her niece, and the daughter-in-law is towards her, the mother-in-law; There is no dirty affair between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the patriarch's wife is very satisfied with this state, and the decision to strongly ask her son to marry his niece is right.

At first, the patriarch was against it, but later the daughter-in-law married and was diligent and virtuous; is very good with his son, and after giving birth to three sons and two daughters in a row, he let go of his original dislike.

"Father of the child, you say, should we send our granddaughter to the county school? and our three grandchildren; It makes no sense that the Zhengning family can provide for three scholars, and our family can't afford any of them. "The patriarch's wife is full of thoughts.

The patriarch shook his head, "Let them go to the private school for enlightenment first, and then I will come forward to talk to Zhengning if they read well; Think of a way to stuff people into the county school, the girls' academy is not a big problem, it just depends on whether the two of us girls are the material for studying. ”

"You're right, it's me who wants to fork the road; At the beginning, in order to let Zhengning study hard, Zhengning's family filled in a lot of money, but fortunately, Zhengning fought for it and came back after taking the test. Our family's foundation is not thick, and now Zhengning has come forward to enlighten the bottom, as long as it is the material for reading, we can rest assured that we will send it to the county school. "Xiao Zhengning's family is gambling, and Xiao Zhengning is a good bet.

They were right.

What happened if I didn't continue to take the exam, I didn't continue to take the exam, and I also learned to be a gentleman in the county; In the case of their family, if five of them can read, they will smash the pot and sell iron to ask for supplies. If there is material that is not for reading, there is no need to spend money in vain.

The money saved is used to study, is it not good for children and grandchildren who can study?

This is true in the long run; It's not fair to people who don't read, but where in the world is it absolutely fair?

Xiao Zhengning, who returned home, told his father and mother about the things in the private school and talked about his thoughts.

"Dad, I'm going to send Kang Kang to the private school enlightenment class to give a lecture to the enlightened children, and I'll watch from the side, I don't think everyone will have an opinion." Xiao Zhengning said again: "That's it for my life, Kang Kang and Pingping, Sanya are not; Kang Kang will be able to take the entrance examination in two years, and now he is going to lecture at a private school, firstly, to let him accumulate his reputation, and secondly, to let him consolidate the knowledge points he has learned before. ”

Reviewing the past and learning the new is not just talking.

"It's good that you have an idea, have you discussed it with the patriarch?" Old Man Xiao was worried about the clan and the elders.

"I'll take the time to talk to them, and I'll just talk to you first; When to let Kangkang go, I have to think about it. "Letting a child in his early teens go to enlightenment, it will definitely not go smoothly; Not to mention what the patriarch and Li Zheng think, are the people who come to enlightenment willing?

Considering the many obstacles, it made Xiao Zhengning more determined; The son is gifted and has accumulated a reputation early, which will be beneficial to his future examinations. Even going further, going to the capital to take the test, it also requires a good reputation and confidence.

Xiao Zhengning didn't tell his children about his decision, and he didn't even tell his wife; The next day, he first lectured to the children who came to enlightenment in the private school, and then went to the patriarch to explain his intentions, and the patriarch did not find it strange.

What's so strange about a father being willing to pave the way for his son?
