"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate ......"

The two low-rise bungalows are self-built in the clan and have been around for some years, but they are often renovated and look neat.

When you walk to the side of the clan school, you can hear the sound of the children reading in the middle school.

In this world, the status of scholars is high, and the students are also diligent, but it is hard work.

Because there is only one gentleman, Cui's father, who teaches a group in the morning and a group in the afternoon, all to take care of the progress of the children.

This is also the method that Cui's father figured out, after all, the books that he has taught for more than ten or twenty years also have his own arrangements.

Cui Xiu's younger brother Cui Ping is also twelve years old, and what he learns is different from that of the children who have just entered the school, so he naturally teaches it in the morning with some older children.

In the afternoon, Cui's father will arrange for them to go home to do their own schoolwork, but Cui Ping is a calm person, usually more naughty, although he is often taught by Cui's father, he doesn't like to stay at home to study, so he runs out to play.

Standing outside the bungalow, Cui Xiu looked at the children inside, did not disturb, and turned his attention to Cui's father.

Cui's father is older than the Xu family, and now he has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

Cui's father is tall, handsome, and gray, similar to Cui Xiu by six or seven points, in fact, most of Cui Xiu's tall figure is also inherited from Cui's father.

It's just that now that I'm old, I turn books with the help of oil lamps all the year round, after all, I am a little rickety, and my eyes are not very good, integrating the memories and emotions of the original owner, Cui Xiu's heart is also slightly sour.

Cui Xiu was standing outside the house, and the sharp-eyed boy had already noticed him, but under the pressure of Mr. Cui's father, he didn't dare to make a sound and looked at him secretly.

It's just that in this way, it is inevitable that the rhythm of reading will be messed up, although Cui's father has not good eyesight, he has taught books for so many years, and he is always familiar with everything in class, and he noticed it at once.

After a few reprimands, he finally found Cui Xiu.

In normal times, even if someone comes to look for it, it is not an urgent matter, he will not put down the book in his hand, but this time is different after all, Cui Xiuxiang is still very concerned when he returns from the trial.

"Okay, that's all for today, you can go back later, but don't be greedy when you go back, I'll check my homework tomorrow. ”

With that, he waved his hand and let the boys leave excitedly.

With his hands behind his back, he walked out.

"Coming back?"

Approached and looked at Cui Xiu, nodded slightly, Cui's father's expression fluctuated slightly, but it didn't change much.

There were some children who knew Cui Xiu, and they wanted to come over to play with Cui Xiu, but when they saw their master, they didn't dare to come over.

"Daddy!"

Cui's father is different from Xu's, he has always been strict, Cui Xiu has the memory of the original owner, and he has long been used to it.

"How was the township test?"

"The child is ashamed of his lack of knowledge and failure to make the list. ”

Cui Xiu bowed his head.

“...... You are still young, you have studied the scriptures and meanings in the past three years, don't slack off, and do well in the next exam. ”

There was no imaginary blame, Father Cui sighed slightly, and just encouraged.

"Yes. ”

The original owner has always been a relatively honest image in front of Cui's father, and Cui Xiu is not ready to change too quickly for the time being.

......

The news of Cui Xiu's return to his hometown soon spread all over the township, so he didn't need to find anything, and the two younger siblings heard that he had returned home, so they ran back in a hurry.

The relationship between the original owner and his younger siblings is very good, and he used to take him out to play, especially his sister Cui Jia, who was even more sticky to him.

Cui Xiu was also worried that his sister would find out about his changes, but he soon put his mind at ease, because his sister didn't think about it that much at all, and hung on him as soon as she came back.

Not long after, the second brother Cui Hong also returned, accompanied by the patriarch of the Cui clan.

The patriarch was naturally concerned about the situation of the test in his hometown, and after hearing that he failed to pass the test, he was a little regretful, and he didn't say anything, and after a few words of encouragement, he left without staying to eat.

Although he went home, he failed to pass the exam, and his family cared about his feelings, mostly comforting, but warm.

......

"Dad, the child is back this time and wants to find a job to do. ”

Cui Xiu is not the original owner after all, and he doesn't want to completely put his hope on the road of the imperial examination.

First, he didn't have much confidence in passing the exam, after all, the original owner was not good at it, and he changed to modern thinking, maybe the chance was still small, he didn't grasp it, and he didn't want to spend all his time on reading.

Second, he has the ability of gray fog and wants to practice martial arts.

This world is too chaotic, and after seeing the incident in Liujia Village, he is even more worried, only by strengthening himself can he protect the safety of himself and his family.

And he needs money to practice martial arts, and in this situation at home, it is impossible to support him to practice martial arts, not to mention that his family may not agree, and he can only make money by himself.

Although Cui Xiu repeatedly stated that he would not relax his studies, Cui's father still frowned when he heard his words.

"There is your second brother and I at home, you are not short of food and clothing, you study honestly, and it is the right way to prepare for the next township exam.

Father Cui was obviously a little angry, and his face was not very good-looking.

The only knot in his life is the imperial examination, he has failed to win the examination many times, Cui Xiu's second brother is a talent who can't pass the exam, and now Cui Xiu's younger brother Cui Ping has no talent for reading, Cui's father's hope can be said to be placed on Cui Xiu's body, and it is not an accident to be angry when he heard his words.

"The child does not want to give up the imperial examination, and he will work hard in the past three years, but the father should also know that it is not a good thing to work behind closed doors, and the child just wants to gain more knowledge. ”

Although Cui Xiu inherited the memory of the original owner, he was not from this world after all, and his way of thinking was different, so he didn't expect Cui's father to be so opposed to this matter and hurriedly remedied.

"The child met a few friends in Fucheng, one of which is Wu Zhen, a prodigy from Anyuan County, who is on the list this time, and the child wants to go to the county seat to find a job, and he can also ask for teaching. ”

"Besides, the master who used to be in the academy is also from Anyuan County, so if you have any questions, it is more convenient to ask the master. ”

Knowing Cui's father's thoughts, Cui Xiu could only explain it in a different way.

But in this way, it is not good for him to speak again about martial arts.

When Father Cui heard this, his face softened a little, and Cui Xiu's words were not unreasonable.

He himself has suffered losses, and naturally understands that making a car behind closed doors is not beneficial to scientific research, so Cui Xiu's explanation is quite acceptable.

In the past, Cui Xiu was young, so naturally he didn't mention these, but now that Cui Xiu is also older, it is not impossible to let them out.

After thinking about it, Father Cui said, "Have you grown up...... It's not impossible, it's good to have a few more friends, but you can't give up your roots and delay your studies. ”

Hearing this, Cui Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that your mother is there, and I have to tell her that she usually misses you the most......"

Cui's father's ensuing words made Cui Xiu slightly stunned.
