Chapter 67: Wild Talk
In the end, Zhang Sijiu even said: "Anyway, I definitely want to earn money for Xiaosong Xiaobai to study." Even if you can just read and write, you have to send it! In this life, you can't be blind! ”
Reading is not only about changing your fate.
The most important thing is to know words and be able to read and understand books, so that you can truly have a different life. It not only broadens people's horizons, but also enables people to understand a lot of truths and knowledge.
This sentence directly shocked the Yang family.
Yang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
I felt a little dazed.
After all, if Zhang Sijiu was really born to the second family, it is normal to be close to his younger brother, but ......
Xu was also very surprised.
Zhang Sijiu poured out his heart and lungs for the little pumpkin, after all, it was a sister from a mother's womb. Can be ...... to Komatsu Kobai
Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiuniang, you are still young, and you don't know how much it costs to study." Our family really can't afford it. At most, barely one. ”
"Then let's work hard to make money!" Zhang Sijiu looked at Xiao Song and Xiaobai, especially Xiao Song's nervous and expectant look, and became more resolute: "As long as the family works together, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done!" ”
She paused, and then said, "I have already told Yuan Ding." Every time he came over, he taught us a few words. When you recognize it and save enough money, you will send Komatsu to school first. Even if you can only go for two or three years, you will always have the opportunity to try the imperial examination. ”
It doesn't cost anything to try anyway.
It was still too early to go to school at the age of seven, and her plan was to read and write first, then borrow books to read, and then send them to a private school for systematic imperial examination training when she was about nine years old.
Yes, the current school, Zhang Sijiu studied it, and felt that it was training for the imperial examination.
Because everything you learn is something to be tested.
Only the real major academies are the ones who really want to cultivate scholars, and they must dabble in all aspects, and they are also truly broad and profound.
As for the private schools and schools in the countryside...... Well, it's just literacy and preparation for the township test.
Xu didn't expect Zhang Sijiu to think so far. She felt sore and swollen in her heart, and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't say a word at all.
In the end, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve before she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, eat first." The food is going to be cold, and I'm going to send the little pumpkin to feed later. I specially left some fish for your Aunt Li, and you can send it with me. ”
Zhang Sijiu didn't say anything more, and bowed his head to eat after answering.
Komatsu didn't seem to be able to sit still, looking at this and that, as if he had a needle under his buttocks.
As for Xiaobai - he is still too young, and after listening to it for a long time, he didn't understand what he was talking about. However, the change in atmosphere made him feel that he should be well-behaved, otherwise he would probably have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots. So he buried himself in eating, and even used his chopsticks better than before.
Xu glared at Xiao Song, and Xiao Song didn't dare to raise his head again, and ate obediently.
The only one who can't eat it is Yang's.
Yang hasn't recovered yet.
She looked at Xu Shi and then at Zhang Sijiu, and her heart was complicated. But it was also very touched.
Study.
This kind of thing has always been something that has only happened to a few or two families in the village. She never thought about it.
But after becoming a scholar, he was respected, and his family followed a different situation, but Yang had seen it.
Thinking that Komatsu could also wear the robe that only scholars wear in the future, her heart was a little hot - it would be great if that was the case.
It wasn't until everyone said that they were full that Yang came back to her senses, she glanced at Zhang Sijiu, and suddenly understood why Xu had listened to Zhang Sijiu's words before.
This kid is smart, and he's smart enough to get on the right path.
Yang's eyes were hot, and he thought of his eldest son: If the boss knew that Jiuniang had become like this, he didn't know how happy he would be.
She didn't want people to see her crying, so she waved her hand: "Okay, you go and send the little pumpkin to feed, and I'll clean up the table and wash the dishes." ”
Xu Shi was a little worried: "Why don't you wait for me to come back-"
"I'm dazzled, but I can't even do this little bit of work!" Yang made a straight face and said something heavy not very happily.
The Xu family didn't dare to fight anymore, so they asked Xiaosong Xiaobai to obediently give the Yang family a hand, and he took Zhang Sijiu out of the house.
Zhang Sijiu was carrying the basket, and she was holding the little pumpkin.
It's not dark yet, and you can still see golden-red clouds on the horizon. When the wind blows, the ears of grain in the fields rustle.
The ears of grain have begun to plump and droop, and gradually fade from the blue, the color has become lighter and yellow, all of which indicates that the next season is about to enter the busy farming season.
Xu sighed: "Jiuniang, the family wants to provide Xiaosong Xiaobai with education, I'm afraid we will have a harder time." ”
"Don't be afraid of hardship." Zhang Sijiu smiled: "But they all have heads." Get through it and everything will be better. Besides, there are so many of us, can't we afford three children? ”
Yes, the little pumpkin will definitely be going to read in the future.
Xu's focus is not on this.
What she heard was "three children".
Which three? Small pine, small cypress, small pumpkin.
There is no Zhang Sijiu herself.
Xu's eyes turned red, if she wasn't holding the little pumpkin, she really wanted to touch Zhang Sijiu's head.
She glanced at Zhang Sijiu and corrected her: "You are still young." Even if you are an eldest sister, you can't be considered an adult. Don't think about your younger siblings. ”
Zhang Sijiu: Well, this is actually a misunderstanding. I'm really an adult. It's true. Although I am only eight years old physically, I am more than twenty-eight years old mentally!
However, there was no way to say this, Zhang Sijiu could only correct it silently in his heart, and then agreed: "Don't worry, second aunt, I will definitely not treat myself badly." I'm going to study too, but I don't have to go to school. I don't take the imperial examination. ”
As Yang Yuanding said, when he went to take the college entrance examination at an old age, not only did he not have that simple mentality, but he really couldn't calm down and review.
It's just a matter of literacy.
Zhang Sijiu said with a smile: "Yuan Ding will teach me to read and write." I'll have to borrow books from him in the future. ”
She paused and whispered to Xu about her ambitions: "Moreover, I want to be a doctor." Second aunt, I want to be a famous female doctor in the entire Song Dynasty! ”
Xu was stunned again-
So much so that she almost stumbled and had to stop and look at Zhang Sijiu carefully.
She was a little dazed: why did Jiu Niang have so many things in her mind that I couldn't think of? I've never heard of any of these things, let alone done them!
Zhang Sijiu tilted his head: "Second aunt? What's wrong? ”
Could it be that this is too exaggerated to scare people?
Well...... Why don't you be more tactful next time? But didn't I want to talk about Cheng Wanli! Just got started!
