7. We have money, and we left the village for the first time
However, there are thousands of people, and there are also people who refuse.
Zhao Liuzhi was born with six fingers, so he was named "Six Fingers", he was honest and stunned, and he has always been strict with his wife, and his wife Wang Dazui has a violent personality, is pungent and spicy, unreasonable and unreasonable, and refuses to do so.
Wang scolded with a big mouth, and scolded: "Why did you send this orphan to study? My child doesn't have any books to read, so why should we pay for that kid? No way, no way! ”
The woman opened her mouth and scolded very badly.
However, when her strict husband heard that Zhao Xuanqi had a talent for reading, he changed his cowardly silence in the past, smoked a dry cigarette one by one, and returned to the house sullenly and took out a shriveled bag, and took out copper coins from it tremblingly.
Zhao Liuzhi kept swallowing his saliva, and said firmly: "Read!" I don't understand, but I understand, Wenqu Xing can be precious, since you have talent, you must read it! ”
"Precious" means "precious" in the accent here, and there is no one in a million.
Wang Dazui was angry and wanted to grab the money bag, but he was slapped by this honest and stunned man, this was the first time he beat his wife for someone else.
In the end, the village chief put on his old body, accompanied by Zhao Asan, and scraped together enough money.
I was busy for most of the night, and I didn't have time to sleep, but it was dawn.
……
In the ancestral hall.
Gray tile moss, god like ancestral card.
Zhao Xuanqi found a dry corner, slept on the haystack, pillowed with the smell of dust and incense ash, and had nightmares all night.
Unable to read, there is simply no other way to get ahead in this ancient world!
The hardships and hardships of these days are constantly magnified in the dream, and he dreams that he has stayed in the fields all his life, and has really become a slave, farming for others to survive, and being beaten and scolded at will.
I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly.
How could he have experienced these sufferings in modern society?
Too tired and too bitter, after working hard for so long but everything came to nothing, he was not recognized by the village chief, when he lost the way to break the game, his heart dissipated, and he no longer had the motivation to struggle, and all kinds of grievances came to his heart.
He found a river in his dream and even wanted to jump into it and drown and end it all.
In a daze, Zhao Xuanqi felt that there was movement around him, as if someone had been shaking him, he opened his eyes sleepily, and saw an old cheek.
The old man's cheeks were covered with wrinkles, like tree bark, layer by layer, and the sides of his eyes were covered with dark circles, as if he had not slept all night, and his spirit was very poor.
But the old man was fighting hard, trying to cover his fatigue with a smile, took out the money bag from his arms and stuffed it into Zhao Xuanqi's hand, and said happily: "We have money, we can study!" ”
Zhao Xuanqi took the money bag from the calloused hands in a daze, a little incredulous.
For a while, he woke up from his sleep and pinched his thigh hard, and the pain came: "It's not a dream, I can read?!" ”
There is a way to break the game.
As long as you can study, you have a chance to get ahead!
The village chief smiled on the side: "Read, you must read, you can't waste this talent, everyone supports you!" ”
Only then did Zhao Xuanqi know that this old man with his elderly body had been tossing all night, carrying lanterns and begging from door to door to beg for money, and he was speechless for a while.
I touched the money bag in my arms, opened it and saw that it was all copper coins with the smallest denomination, so many loose copper coins were definitely made up by every household, and I weighed it, it was heavy, very heavy, I don't know why, I actually felt a little hot.
It was so hot that he wanted to throw the money bag out and throw the stall potato a little farther away.
However, when he thought that this was the hope of the whole village, he immediately held the money bag tightly in his arms, refused to let go, and finally looked at the old man with emotion, and solemnly swore an oath:
"I will definitely study hard to get ahead, get ahead, and repay all the clansmen!"
"One day, the clan will be strengthened!"
Zhao Xuanqi knew that the reward for his hard work this year had played a very important role in it, but he was still full of gratitude.
Because he understood how great it was for his son to send someone else to study when he couldn't study.
I also understand how great courage an old man is willing to give up most of his life's face and borrow money from door to door in the middle of the night for an irrelevant person.
These people, who grew up eating hundreds of meals when they were young, now continue to lend most of their savings to gamble on an illusory future with themselves......
……
The next day, Zhao Xuanqi sat on the donkey cart, and the seat of the cart was carrying a lot of things, all of which were given by the villagers, including flatbread and fruits, as well as clothes and pants and other specially sent change of clothes.
He sat on the donkey cart and looked around, and found that he had brought a variety of things, but none of them belonged to him, he was penniless, and the villagers had gathered all the things from house to house!
"Weeds, be careful when you go to study in the county, I heard that the master of the academy is very fierce, you must be obedient and don't cause trouble..."
Zhao Xuanqi touched his head and responded with a smile: "Auntie, don't call me weed, I already have a name, call me Zhao Xuanqi!" ”
The eldest lady immediately blamed herself and said: "Yes, yes, aunt's fault, you are now a noble Wenqu star master, and you are an upright reader, how can you still call a cheap name like weed?" I'll call you Zhao Xuanqi in the future! ”
Zhao Xuanqi was choked by the politeness of the eldest mother, waved his hand, and immediately couldn't stand it: "Don't, auntie, you are too raw like this, or call me comfortable with weeds!" ”
The village lady was full of reluctance, although she was not her own child, but she had already regarded it as her own son over the years, she said: "Weeds, you have to study hard, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to get famous, and ......if you are tired, you will study to death."
Halfway through speaking, he changed his words with a heartache: "If reading is too hard and tiring, then don't hold on, don't read it, come back directly, no one in the village will blame your ......"
Others are also pandering.
Zhao Xuanqi wants to go to the academy to study, they are full of reluctance, even if a dog has been raised for a few years, they have feelings, let alone a person who gets along day and night?
The villagers followed the donkey cart for a distance, seeing off Zhao Xuanqi until they reached the entrance of the village, and they were reluctant to leave.
The road is wide and there are many trees along the way.
The donkey cart walked along the road towards the county seat, Zhao Asan was steady as a driver, and Zhao Xuanqi sat on the donkey cart to rest.
He had been in this world for so long, and this was the first time he had left the village, and he looked in the direction of the village, and he couldn't see the figure at the entrance of the village because of the distance, but he could still vaguely see a few small dots there, and the dots kept blurring until he could no longer see them......
