Before the Chinese New Year, Liu Xiaowu of Dongtou Town came to give a New Year's gift, and when people were not paying attention, he stuffed something into Shu Can's hand.

Shu Ling happened to see it, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed, and then ran to the kitchen to talk to Zhou Damei.

Zhou Damei smiled and said, "You, your eyes are too sharp." You help the eldest aunt guard the stove. ”

Gao Xiaorui glanced at Shu Ling and said angrily: "Don't go and tell your second sister about this, she is thin-skinned, but not as thick-skinned as you, and she can stand anything." ”

"Mother, isn't it a good thing for Fifth Brother Liu to send something to the second sister?"

"Naturally, it's a good thing, but you little girl don't care too much about things.

Occasions that shouldn't appear in the future, you avoid them early, understand? ”

"Mother, what you said is rude, I understand. My brother taught me a few days ago, and I can write these words. ”

During the days when Shu Xianming's brothers were at home, the Shu family had more voices of reading.

"In the spring, Li'er is also going to the city to study, but unfortunately the current conditions of our family are not very good.

Otherwise, we will learn from other people's families and rent a yard in the city, and you and I will take turns going into the city to take care of the children's lives. ”

"Sister-in-law, what Ling'er's father means, let them eat and live in the school, so that the relationship between classmates is good, and they can study with peace of mind."

Shu Santie and Gao Xiaorui sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have much ability, otherwise I would rather have some more silver, and I would also send Ming'er to study in the Aspiration Academy outside the city." ”

Gao Xiaorui asked in surprise: "That school is so good?" How come I haven't heard the name of this school? ”

"I only learned the name of this school this year, in the past, there were only two masters in the school, the tuition was expensive, and there were not many students, so the reputation naturally did not spread.

But those who know know that the two masters are people with real skills, and if they have a career in office, they must be people who have great creations.

In the past two years, the students in the school have come out to test their skills with other school students, and they have never lost a game.

My head told me that this school does not teach children who are dead to study, even if one or two are really poorly qualified, the master will let them learn a skill, and they can eat with this ability in the future. ”

Gao Xiaorui suddenly understood the envy in Shu Santie's words, such as her own conditions, if the children are really not qualified in reading, but they can learn from the master, if the conditions allow, they are also willing to pay more tuition.

"In fact, if the children want to go to this school, our family can still afford a tuition."

Gao Xiaorui said tentatively that not all children in the family like to read.

"My eldest brother and second brother have talked about this school, and the eldest brother said, look at what I and my second brother think."

There are no children in the long room anymore, and Shu Datie and his wife have already shifted their minds.

Shu Ertie said very boldly: "I don't know a few words, but now I'm living my life the same."

Their brothers can continue to read, and we will support them to study.

If you really can't read it, you don't need to go to that kind of school to learn skills.

For some money, we can ask an experienced treasurer to teach them these skills, and they will find an easy job in the city. ”

Shu Ertie said so, Shu Santie thought about it, and had nothing to say, his three sons were obviously people who could read, and he took advantage of this room, so naturally he wouldn't talk much.

Shu Ertie went back and talked to Mo Xiao, and directly made Mo Xiao so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Who do you think the third brother is talking about this with you and the eldest brother?

The three brothers are obviously people who can read, our three sons, the younger one doesn't know if he can read, and the two eldest are willing to work hard to study, but they are obviously not enlightened in this regard.

In such a situation, if you can meet a famous teacher and give them some advice, they are really not the material for studying, and they can also learn other skills from the master.

You think that the third brother has too many things, but you never thought that the third brother would come to you to say these superfluous words for the sake of the future of your nephews. ”

Shu Ertie came to his senses at this time: "You said that I went with the eldest brother and the third child to discuss the children's study, is there still a chance?" ”

Mo Xiao shook his head: "Don't worry about this meeting." Look at what the conditions at home are next year, if the family can successfully make paper, there will be more money in the future.

You should inquire about the affairs of the school these days, and if it is as the third brother said, we will discuss the children's reading with the family next year. ”

Shu Ertie turned his head and came to Shu Santie to speak: "Third child, you tell me, is the school really that good?" ”

"For the wealthy and noble families in the city, that school is relatively ordinary, but for people like us, this school is really good, at least after a few years of study, the children can find suitable things to do."

Shu Ling overheard what her father and her second uncle were saying, and immediately came out and said to her father, "Dad, is there a school I can go to?"

I want to have a master who will teach me to study well for a few years, and I also want to have the ability to earn money so that I can prepare gifts for the elders in my family. ”

Shu Ertie listened to Shu Ling's words, looked at the serious look on her face, and couldn't bear to tell her little niece that there was no school where women could go to school, whether in the city or outside the city.

Shu Santie looked at his daughter's bright eyes and sighed: "Ling'er, my father only hates that he has no ability, and he can't invite the two masters to come to the house to teach you well." ”

Shu Ling listened to Shu Santie's words, and said very generously: "Ah, do you want to invite the family to come?"

Then I don't need to, I can read and write with my brothers, and I don't need to prepare a piece of silver for my brothers at home. ”

Shu Ertie looked at Shu Santie: "This kid is too good, right, just work hard for a while, and figure it out by himself?" ”

Shu Santie was a little proud in his heart, and in front of Shu Ertie, he said to Shu Ling: "Ling'er, then you can learn to read and write with your brothers, and your father won't have to bother to find a master for you in the city." ”

Shu Ling jumped away, and Shu Ertie looked at Shu Santie thoughtfully: "Third child, you fooled me a lot of things in the past, right?" ”

"Second brother, you forgot that you are older than me, only when you coax me, when can I coax you?"

Shu Ertie's heart was settled, and he mentioned Shu Xiaoqing's matter to Shu Santie again.

"We went to my sister's house a few years ago to see if her daughter-in-law was filial to her?"

"Good. A few days later, our department was sealed.

Second brother, you talk to the owner, we will go to my sister's house that day.

Over the years, she has always avoided this and that, never went home for the New Year, and usually, she has no time to go home.

If it was convenient for her father, she would have visited her at her house a long time ago. ”

"Don't say these things in front of your sister, it's not easy for her all these years."

"I know, second brother, I'm just gossiping with you."
