6 Chapter 6
The Yang family and Gu Changshan are the people who don't want Gu Changlin to continue studying, it is about their son, they remember it more seriously than anyone else, so whether Gu Yi is reading right or not, they are the most concerned.
Under the old man's inquiry, Gu Changshan was reluctant in his heart, and nodded calmly on the surface: "That's right." β
He sighed in his heart, thinking about it, it would only take a year, even if his son went to school a year in advance, what he learned was to read and write, and now he is learning at home is the same.
Thinking about it like this, he felt a lot more comfortable.
The Yang family and the three rooms and two families also confirmed this.
Old man Gu suddenly looked at his grandson with a different look, around he himself had not read, and he also knew that his grandson's literacy speed was not comparable to ordinary people, if Gu Yi went to school, he would definitely be able to be admitted, and in the future, the family might really be able to smoke from the ancestral tomb and become an official.
For a while, he couldn't wait to let Gu Changlin, a deflated calf who had studied for twenty years without any results, stop reading anymore, and stuff his good grandson into a private school.
But fortunately, he still has his senses, and he has already said that he will give the second child a year, and now he regrets it.
As for letting both father and son go to private school...... He glanced at the two of them in the big house, and then looked at the eldest grandson he had always loved, but he still couldn't say it.
If the father and son of the second room read at the same time, the big house will not be willing, and the family will not be at peace.
He pondered, should he talk to the second child in private, and if he can't read it, don't read it?
Gu Changlin didn't know that the good situation he had created with great difficulty was almost ruined by his own son.
After confirming that Gu Yi could really remember so much at once, Gu Changshan and his family were no longer reconciled, so they could only just forget it, after all, Gu Yi's level was really enough to teach their son.
Today is already the time for Gu Changlin's monthly vacation, and in the afternoon, Gu Changlin began to teach Mao Dan and Gu Yi to read and write, and also prepared a sand table for them to facilitate them to learn to write.
At night, Yang was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and Gu Changshan next to him was woken up by her, "Why don't you sleep yet?" β
Yang repeatedly thought about the events of the day, "You say, the old man is not thinking about sending the little sheep to study in a year, right?" β
"What?" Gu Changshan was frightened by these words, and the drowsiness all over his body disappeared in an instant, "It shouldn't be." β
First the second child, then the second child, this can't be a good thing to let the second room be occupied.
Yang glanced at him, "What's so good about this, studying is to take the imperial examination, in order to be an official, and it's not just to be literate, this second child is so clever that he can't get into the exam after studying for 20 years, although the old mansion is a child, but this is not a fame, it's useless at all, if you really let Mao Dan read it, you may not be able to pass the exam." β
"He usually has hairy hands and feet, and when he reads a book, it looks like there is a needle pricking under his buttocks, and the sheep is quiet, has a good memory, teaches what he learns, and looks more powerful than the second child, if he reads, he may really be able to get in."
"I noticed during the day that the old man didn't look at the lamb very right, and he probably really wanted the lamb to read it."
There was silence in the air, and after a while, Gu Changshan nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, then let Xiao Yang read it." β
Today, Gu Yi's on-site learning of words also shocked Gu Changshan, he himself had entered the school back then, so he understood more deeply that people are very capable.
If Gu Yi can be admitted, then the whole family can follow suit.
When you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible.
This is for people to study, it seems that the second room takes advantage, but this offering is for the future of the whole family, not just for a certain room, Gu Changshan knows that the second child is not so important in the hearts of the old couple, not to mention comparing with his son, even compared with himself, Gu Changlin is not as good as his status in the hearts of his parents.
When it comes to the fate of the whole family, it is not a matter of sitting in a row, sharing the fruits, and just paying attention to fairness.
As soon as the words were spoken, Gu Changshan's waist was twisted fiercely, and Gu Changshan's face was crooked in pain, "HissΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Tap tap Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Yang let go angrily, "Then the imperial examination is so easy to test, you look at the second brother of the family, that is a person with a lot of brains, he has been praised by his master since he was a child, and he has a close relationship with those rich sons in private schools, but how about him, it's not that he hasn't been admitted for so many years." β
"I think the little sheep is just like the second brother back then, they are all young, and the big ones may not be good."
"What's more, other people's sons study, how can they be as good as our own sons to study, I don't expect him to be an official, as long as he can take the exam and open a private school in the future, it will be enough."
"We don't need to spend more than ten or twenty years betting on whether other people's children can be admitted."
If you have this time, you might as well gamble on your son.
Gu Changshan felt right, "Then what do you want to do?" β
In the dark night, Yang lowered his voice, "I want to ...... Separation. β
Gu Changshan: !
Gu Changshan was instantly stunned, "My parents are not separated, how did you come up with it?" How can the division be so good, we can't afford to pay taxes alone, and now we can still rotate to labor every year. "If the family is divided, then there will be no one to share the labor that must be paid by each family with the big house.
Yang said: "What's this, let's just don't distinguish between it on the surface, and it's not like no one in the village." "Privately divided things and still live together, who can say that they are really separated.
It's not like no one in this village does this, as long as you don't get too blatant, there's no problem.
In the final analysis, the Yang family just doesn't want to study for the second room, she wants to provide for her children, her family is a big house, according to common sense, the family property will be more divided into this room, of course, the old people will follow them, with the help of the old couple, it is enough for the children to study.
In fact, if you can not divide the family, it is best for everyone to provide hairy eggs together, after all, Zhu Qiaoniang's embroidery in the second room is really a lot of income, but she pondered that compared with the little lamb, it is really not advantageous, so in order not to continue to provide for the second room, it is better to disconnect early.
If the old couple hides some private money when they split up, then their big house will not be paid!
"No, no, no." Gu Changshan still shook his head, now he doesn't think that his father and mother will be willing to split up, this separation of the family is not a good thing for his father and mother.
The father and mother are the ones who control the whole family, and if they are separated, they will become people who rely on their sons to support the elderly.
The status has clearly changed too much.
Besides, when you are a parent, who wants to be separated from the juniors in the family for no reason, once you separate the family, the feelings will not be the same, in today's world, if there is no great contradiction, or other special circumstances, it will generally not be separated so early.
Even if it was Gu Changshan himself, he didn't plan to break up with his children so early in the future.
Yang didn't give up, and persuaded a lot of words in front of Gu Changshan, Gu Changshan became more and more shaken, in the end, he also wanted his children to read, and finally he said: "That's it, let's wait another year to see if the old man will choose to let the little sheep read at that time, if you let the hairy egg read, we won't be separated." There is also the second child who was also given a one-year deadline by the old man, maybe he will be admitted to the Tongsheng by then. β
"Anyway, the family has also provided for the second child for so many years, just the last year, let's not spoil the relationship, in case he has a future in the future, there are so many years of love, we can also get a little light, if it starts at this time, it will be a bad relationship, and it will not be easy to get along in the future."
In Gu Changshan's heart, even if Gu Changlin was admitted to Tongsheng a year later, it would not be a big deal, and Tongsheng was not a showman, so it was no good.
There were many people who stayed in the position of children all their lives.
In his opinion, Gu Changlin is estimated to be another such one.
What he really values is Gu Yi, this kid looks like he's promising, and after a year, if Gu Changlin is admitted to Tongsheng, they will split up for the sake of the child, and it also seems that they are generous and reasonable, leaving a feeling for people. Even if Gu Changlin didn't get in, it was nothing.
He told Yang about this, and Yang also said: "That's what you said, then it's a year later." "Just this year, let my son learn to read and write with me.
The two of them said a few more words, and then they fell asleep contentedly.
β¦β¦
And Gu Changlin in the second room, they haven't slept yet.
There are a total of two beds in the bedroom of the second bedroom, one large and one small, Gu Yi used to sleep on that small bed, after all, he is more than five years old, and it is not very big.
Another reason is that there are not so many rooms at home for him to sleep in, so he can only squeeze in a room with his parents.
Fortunately, the area of the house in the village is basically not small, even if there are two beds, it is more than enough to walk back and forth in the house, and there is no shortage of tables, chairs and cabinets that should be placed in the house.
Before going to bed, Zhu Qiaoniang hugged Gu Yi, who was sitting on the small bed with her feet washed, to the big bed, "Sleep with my father and mother tonight." β
Gu Yi didn't refute, if a child is a child, it seems that he should sleep with his father.
At this time, Gu Changlin pushed open the door and walked in, Zhu Qiaoniang covered her son with the quilt, and asked casually, "What did Dad tell you to do?" β
After not hearing a reply for a long time, she turned her head to look at Gu Changlin, and Gu Changlin said speechlessly: "Dad asked me if I should simply stop reading it, and let Xiaoyang go to a private school to read." β
Zhu Qiaoniang: !
She held back a laugh, but didn't hold back her laughter.
"Do you really want the lamb to go?"
Gu Changlin said: "No, I was still given a one-year deadline." It's just that he is still very entangled when he looks at his father like that, and he can't wait for him to agree with understanding.
It's a pity that Gu Changlin hasn't reached the point of being so empathetic.
was originally a little depressed, but when he saw his wife and son smiling, he couldn't help but laugh too.
Lying on the bed, Zhu Qiaoniang thought: "Xiao Yang can read so fast, it is estimated that it will take less than a year, should my father choose Xiao Yang to study with you directly?" β
She also wanted to let her son study before, but the way to persuade the family was more on Gu Changlin and her own embroidery, Gu Changlin is now studying, and he bought a lot of books, which were basically bought by him with his own money, or given to him by others, rather than using the silver given by the family.
The silver taels spent on this book, plus other gifts for the family, as well as the silver she embroidered and sold by herself, it can be said that Gu Changlin is reading a book and pasting silver for the family.
With the books in the room at home, Gu Changlin's contribution is too high, no matter who reads next, he will inherit so many books.
If you really let Mao Dan read it, then it will not be easy for them to live in the second room for all these years.
Not only did she have to post silver and books upside down, but she and her daughter had to work more at home because of her husband's study, and endure some of the little tempers of the Yang family in the big house.
If you really let the people in the big house read it, then what are their endurance for so many years?
The Gu family is not wealthy, and the reason why she is determined to provide for the next scholar is that her confidence is in the room full of books that Gu Changlin bought, this is the foothold of her competition at that time.
But even so, Zhu Qiaoniang thought that it would take a lot of effort to compete for the quota of this scholar, but she didn't expect her son to be so powerful and directly solve the problem fundamentally.
This reading is not the same as this.
