Chapter 3 The First College of Yunding County

"I know I didn't let you go to the academy, you have always complained in your heart."

Zhao Qingshan ate well, put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his hand, and said.

Zhao Yan looked at his father reflexively, with a light of hope in the depths of his eyes.

Father always avoided this question and never took the initiative to bring it up, but now that he took the initiative to bring it up, he seriously doubted that he was finally going to let him go to school?

That's what he's always dreamed of!

After all, who doesn't want to be bullied a lot?

What's more, he really likes martial arts!

He also reacted to his parents many times, but every time his parents said, "Our family is poor and can't afford to go to school." ”

What else could he do as a child? Although I was very unwilling.

Now that my father suddenly took the initiative, it was hard not to let him think in a good direction.

But I still held back my emotions, what if it was really just a casual mention?

You can't be too happy.

Steady!

"On a cloudy day, I will send you to the county college, the first college in Genting County, I hope you don't let me down."

Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhao Yan, this sentence was very serious and serious, even a little heavy, but after speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed, as if he had said something he had always wanted to say in his heart.

"First Academy!?"

Zhao Yan looked at his father in disbelief.

He thought in the best direction, but he just thought that his father suddenly opened his mind and sent him to the private school of the old gentleman in the village, but he didn't think about it better, and he didn't even dare to think about going to the formal college in the town.

The main reason is that he knows the conditions of his family, and smashing pots and selling iron can only allow him to learn in a private school.

First Academy!

Are you kidding?

I never dreamed of doing this!

But looking at his father's serious appearance, he really shouldn't doubt his father, after all, although his father was very incompetent in his opinion, he couldn't even let him go to a private school, and he was often bullied......

And even if you are bullied and ridiculed, you can't resist, you have to play stupid.

But it is true that the father is not a person who likes to lie, nor is he a person who likes to joke.

But the news did go a little out of scope and gave him a sense of unreality.

"Yes!"

Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhao Yan with a smile, and his reaction to Zhao Yan was unexpected.

Hearing his father's affirmative reply, Zhao Yan still didn't dare to believe it completely, but the ecstasy in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and it was directly expressed on his face.

I've always emphasized in my heart that I want to be stable, but I really can't be stable.

Everyone knows that there is an academy in the town, which is from the imperial court, which is very authentic, and the dean is the mayor of the town, which is definitely better than the old man's private school.

After all, according to the legend, the mayor of the town is the number one master in Qiangshan Town, and his martial arts are so high that it is unimaginable, it can be said that the mayor of the town is the idol of children and the goal of children, including Zhao Yan.

Of course, no matter how good the college in the town is, it is definitely not as good as the county, so go directly to the county, and it is the first college, the starting point is different, compared to the humble private school in the village, it is directly a few levels higher, and when he comes back to the village in the future, who can compare to him?

Who would dare to laugh at him?

Who would dare to bully him?

It's not like he can bully whoever he wants!

Imagine the future, it's all a good time!

Before I knew it, the corners of my mouth were cracked, and I couldn't close my mouth at all.

However, the smile on Zhao Qingshan's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness.

This made Zhao Yan feel bad, and he didn't know whether to show happiness or sadness, so he could only look at his honest and cowardly father with hope and apprehension.

He didn't dare to take his eyes off his father's face for fear of missing something.

"I was only three years old, and your grandfather died, and it was only a month before your grandmother remarried a widowed man a few years older than her in a neighboring village, who already had two children, so I didn't want to see them there, and a year later your grandmother had another child, and even less so.

So I never went to school, but I often went to work with them, and I could do anything at a young age.

At that time, I used to think that it was better for me to do my own work and support myself anyway, so I should do my own work and support myself.

So I came back here when I was ten years old. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingshan paused, and what Zhao Yan and Zhao Liang didn't notice was that Li Xiaomei's eyes were already wet.

"This house was left by your grandfather and the only place I could go after I left your grandmother, the only property my father left me, and a haven left to me.

And the only reason why I dare to leave your grandmother. ”

Speaking of his father, Zhao Qingshan actually had tears in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.

"I also thought about leaving here, but I have no culture, no martial arts, I can't go anywhere, I can only become a farmer who is often bullied.

In the eyes of everyone, I am honest and honest, weak and deceitful. ”

"Actually, I'm very unwilling, very unwilling, I don't think I'm worse than anyone, it's just that I don't have a father, no one will provide me with school, so I'm not as good as others, it's true.

I would love to go to school and change that.

But I don't have the ability to let myself go to school, I can't change anything, so I hope my descendants can change! ”

"Since then, I have never spent a penny except to keep myself alive, and every bit of money has been saved with hard work.

In the eyes of outsiders, I was poor, I was always poor, so poor that everyone looked down on me.

The food is grown by myself, the clothes and pants, the sewing and mending have always been the same one, just so as not to waste a little, save it all, save enough money, let my son, go to the first college! ”

"At that time, I deeply realized that the only way to change the fate of a poor person is to go to the academy!"

"Only culture and martial arts can change fate!"

"I want them to see, my Zhao Qingshan's son is the best!"

"Now they look down on us, and in the future they can't afford to climb high, so they can only look at us with jealousy and envy!"

"I haven't let you go to the academy, just to save all this money, and send you directly to the best academy, receive the best education, learn the best martial arts, and even if you don't graduate in the future, at least you will come out like an old gentleman.

After saving for nearly thirty years, it's finally enough for you to go to the First Academy, I hope you don't let me down! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingshan exhaled, calmed down, and turned to look at Zhao Yan.

"I ......"

Zhao Yan has always been very confident, although he has always been bullied, he has always told himself that it is only because he has not learned martial arts, which is unfair in itself, not that he can't do it.

At least, his peers in the village are stupid in his eyes, this is not conceit, but it is the truth, even if Ma Goudan and those people are much stronger than him, but if he really wants to get them, there are many ways, there is no need to be tough, but he listens to his father and does not show that he is more intelligent than his peers.

But now, all of a sudden, I feel a little heavy.

For the first time in my life, I felt heavy.

He was not afraid of death, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear his father's expectations.

He never imagined that his father would expect so much from him.

"I'll try!"

Under his father's eager gaze, Zhao Yan raised his head confidently.

He's had enough of being bullied all the time, he's had enough of being so poor that he doesn't eat meat for months, he's had enough of being so poor that he's sleeping with mice.

He wants to practice martial arts, he wants to become a hero!

At this moment, he is full of confidence in the unknown future.

"I'm sure you've heard some rumors about the First Academy, and now I'm going to tell you that those rumors are true, and you're going to die there.

The old gentleman of our village, his eldest son and second grandson all died there.

So it could be a place to change your fate, or it could be a place to be buried. ”

Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhao Yan all the time, wanting to see fear on his face, but what made him very proud was that his son did not show a trace of timidity.

There is only confidence on his face, this is his son Zhao Qingshan!

The hope of his Zhao family!

"I'm not afraid!"

Zhao Yandao, there are too many rumors about the First Academy, it is difficult for him to think about it, he knows that he will die, but he has never taken it seriously, after all, he always feels far away from him.

However, from the moment his father said that he was going to send him to the First Academy, he had already thought of this legend, but he found that he had not cared about it at all.

His only feeling is that when he gets there, he will become very strong and strong, and as for the things that will die, he will be ignored, or he is very confident that the one who will die will definitely not be himself.

Of course, the old gentleman's eldest son and second grandson were dead, but he still tried to send his son and grandson there.

His youngest son, who had not graduated from the First Academy for fifteen years, did not let his son come back.

And after the death of the second grandson, his eldest grandson did not come back, but sent the younger grandson two years later.

These are enough to say that there are some problems in the yin, that is, going to the first college, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

Since even a figure like the old gentleman is trying to send his offspring there, then we naturally want to go even more. ”

Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhao Yan and smiled again.

"So, you don't have to be too scared, just study hard."

"I'll try!"

Zhao Yan said seriously.

"Don't talk about it, in five years, everything will know, whether to let us glorify our ancestors or make our family a laughing stock, it's all up to you."

Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhao Yan, he knew very well in his heart what kind of reaction the people in the village would have once they knew that he had sent his son to the First Academy.

It is estimated that there will be more ridicule than envy and jealousy, after all, in everyone's eyes, Zhao Yan is an honest and honest child with a not very bright brain.

And this is what Zhao Qingshan deliberately made everyone feel, he knew that Zhao Yan was very smart, he didn't look like a child, anything, he could remember it once he said it, and many things could be inferred, and all kinds of performances were much more intelligent than when he was a child.

But he is too weak, and he is the object of ridicule and bullying by everyone, so in the eyes of everyone, he is not qualified to have a child who is so much smarter than other children, and he is white in his heart.

So from childhood to adulthood, he has educated Zhao Yan in his own way, not letting Zhao Yan show it in front of outsiders, Zhao Yan is very smart and yin, and he can confess his father's meaning at a young age, so Zhao Yan has become a child who does not like to talk in everyone's eyes, is honest and honest, and has a not very bright brain.

is a child who is more alternative than Zhao Liang in Li Xiaomei's eyes.

Bang dang!

At this time, Zhao Liang was full of food and threw down the dishes and chopsticks, as if he couldn't feel the strange gaze of the other three.

ran out to play by himself, as for the topic of Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Yan, he didn't listen to it very whitely, and he wasn't interested, he was just eating when he suddenly thought of how to build that 'house' well, and thought of the nest of ants in the bamboo forest at this time today, should it be time to come out for activities?

He still remembers that yesterday he saw a big green worm, and after building a 'house' for a while, he caught the big green worm and gave it to the ants to carry, and he didn't know if the ants could carry it.

This time, we want to lead the ants farther away, and by the way, we will lead them to the 'inside of the house', and you can see them for a long time...... Hahaha.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.

So I couldn't wait to put it into practice.

When the three of them saw Zhao Liang suddenly running out, they shook their heads helplessly, and they didn't care.

Zhao Qingshan looked at Zhao Yan and said solemnly.

"You can't let anyone know about this until your enrollment is complete!"
