The happy little days of the Ye family

After coming out of the academy, the group did not go home directly, but went to the Ye's grocery store not far away.

Juren Alley, where the grocery store is located, is not far from the academy. It takes about half an hour to get there by oxcart.

If you walk, it will probably take about the same time as riding a bullock cart.

Oxen are strong, but they walk slowly. If they have a bad temper, they may not be able to walk as fast.

Although the three little guys had gone shopping with the adults at home a few times, this was the first time they came back to Ye's Grocery Store.

The grocery store is very large, with tall shelves filled with a wide variety of goods.

Ye Donglin took out a can of caramel from under the counter, gave two pieces to each of the three little beans, and then left them to play by themselves.

The three brothers walked in front of the shelves with curious faces, looking left and right, curious about everything they saw.

Ye Donglin and the others sat around the counter at the door. After telling the three little guys not to run out, they started eating melon seeds and chatting.

The melon seeds are spiced melon seeds fried by Ye Mu herself at home, which are particularly fragrant.

Ye Donglin usually went to the grocery store and liked to eat melon seeds when he had nothing to do. He ate several melon seeds in a row.

Seeing his speed, Tang Xiaojing couldn't help but joke: "The melon seeds in this grocery store probably aren't sold as much as you can eat, right?"

Ye Donglin picked up a small handful of melon seeds, clicked another one, and shrugged with an indifferent expression:

"It's really boring to look at the shop here alone. In the past, my father opened a braised meat shop next to it, which was fine. We could chat and pass the time together, but now I'm the only one left."

"Besides, these melon seeds are grown by myself on the mountain. They are not worth much, so just eat them."

Ye Donglin paused for a moment, ate the melon seeds in his mouth, and then said:

"By the way, the private school officially starts the day after tomorrow. When I come to the grocery store in the morning, I will take the three little guys there with me, so you don't have to make another trip."

"Okay, then when you go back, bring them back by the way." The second cousin smiled and nibbled on the melon seeds, not polite at all.

Ye Donglin nodded, "School ends early in the academy. I brought them over to the grocery store and supervised them memorizing texts and doing homework. We will go back together later."

Ye Donglin is literate and has studied in a private school in the village for several years, so he has no problem supervising these little guys.

Tang Xiaojing then smiled heartily and said: "Okay, I will watch them punch and step after I get back. Don't lose the training."

In a few words, these fathers arranged the three little ones properly, including studying and exercising.

Seeing that he couldn't help, Wang Lin thought for a while and then said:

"I usually set up a tea stall on the pier, so I can't help much. Let's do this. I will provide some cakes every day for a few little ones to take to the private school to eat."

"Okay, these little bastards are just growing up, and studying consumes their brains, so they might eat them."

Ye Donglin was not polite to him and agreed immediately. No one was short of this money anyway.

Everyone was able to contribute and had money to contribute, so we discussed it happily.

The three of them were chatting happily, but the three little guys who were hiding in the nearby shelves and eavesdropping looked like they were beyond love.

After studying in the academy, they still have to come over and memorize articles. After returning home, they even have to box and step on their horses. Why are their lives so miserable?

"The three of us brothers will probably have a more miserable life than Coptis Lianshui in the future." Xiao Qi looked pitiful, and the smile on his face disappeared.

For him, the only comfort is probably the pastries provided by the Wang family.

Chenchen's face was also bitter, but she still patted his shoulder to express comfort.

Xiao Shitou has an honest and tenacious temperament, so he didn't react much at this time, but he still felt a little depressed at the thought of not being able to go out to play anymore.

Although the three little guys were all crying, they didn't cry and said they didn't want to study anymore.

After all, speaking out will only result in a severe beating, which won't change anything.

And they also know that studying is not something you can just say if you want. There are many friends in the village who cannot even afford to attend private schools in the village.

Erya also thought about it several times, why the academy didn't accept girls.

It is already rare for them to study in the Li family private school with better conditions, and they should cherish the blessing.

Everyone knows the truth, but these little Doudings, who are only four or five years old, all have a sad face at this time.

Ye Donglin heard the sound coming from the shelf, walked over and saw a few little guys standing there helplessly. He guessed that they heard what they were chatting.

After rubbing their little heads one by one, Ye Donglin took a few candies from the counter and distributed them to them.

After eating the sweet candies, smiles finally appeared on the faces of the little guys.

As for the words of comfort, Ye Donglin didn't say a word. These were all the truth. They would have to take the scientific examination in the future, and it would definitely not work to just think about it all day long.

And he has already thought about it, and he will supervise these little guys memorizing articles and writing big characters every day.

Young idler, an old beggar. At a young age, it is a good time to learn.

Returning from town in the afternoon, Xiao Qi couldn't wait to pull Xiao Shitou and Chenchen out of the ox cart on the way. They were going to go find Erya and Er Gouzi to play.

If you don't go to school now and play quickly, you won't have the chance in the future.

Not long after, the small group of 5 people gathered on a piece of grass that was usually their favorite.

Er Gouzi bumped Xiao Qi with his shoulder and looked at him curiously:

"What are the private schools in the town like? Are they big? Are they fun?"

Xiao Qi touched her chin and tried to recall the Li Family Villa she had visited in the morning:

"It seems to be no different from the private school in the village. It's just a big house and a fierce master."

Thinking of the four wives she saw in the morning, Xiaoqi's voice became softer.

Xiao Shitou on the side patted his heart and said with fear:

"The private school in the village only has one tutor, but the private school in the town has four tutors, and they look very majestic. I feel like I can't speak even if I stare at them."

He used to think that the masters in the village were too fierce. Only after meeting the masters in the town did he realize how kind and amiable Ye Tongsheng was.

"Master Ming looks so awesome. I want to be as awesome as them in the future. I want to open my own private school in the future." Chenchen said with a sweet voice.

But the little guy is only 4 years old now, and the friends around him think he is joking.

After hearing what his friends said, Ergouzi didn't envy them for going to a private school in the town.

It was really scary to have four masters watching.

"My parents said they would also let me go to school next year, but it would be at a private school in the village."

Er Gouzi also has a hill at home, which is planted with honeysuckle and bamboo. He is living a pretty good life, so he also wants to send him to study.

However, their family didn't think about letting him take the scientific examination. After studying for a few years and knowing all the words, he would be quite good as a bookkeeper.

Erya, who was silent on the side, was extremely envious.

"You all went to study, why can't I go?" There was a hint of grievance and confusion in his tone.

The four little boys were silent. They all knew that the academy did not accept girls. Although they felt a little strange, it was not something they could solve now.

Ergouzi saw that Erya was unhappy, so he patted his chest and said in assurance:

"It's okay. When I go to study next year, I will teach you when I come back. I will teach you how the Master taught you."

"Er Gouzi, you are so kind. I like you the most."

Erya hugged Ergouzi excitedly, with an innocent smile on her face.

Several people on the side also laughed happily.
