The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Xiaomi now feels like he is reading a very good novel, but the author has stopped updating.

I really want to know why Wang Chengzi stopped studying.

So after the mutton soup was served, we started eating it quickly.

I just wanted to go home quickly after eating and then ask other people what was going on.

After they finished eating, they returned to the teahouse and headed home in the donkey cart.

When we got home, the Wang family had just finished lunch.

"My dear, why are you back so early? Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll boil you an egg."

"Grandma, I'm back from dinner."

Goudan and the others saw Wang Zhuzi carrying a large package in his hand.

They all gathered around him and asked, "Dad, what did you buy?"

Wang Zhuzi was afraid that they would get hurt, so he pushed them aside with one hand.

"Don't touch them, they're too expensive. I can't even afford the compensation even if I sell you off."

After hearing this, several people became even more curious.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Wang Zhuzi, he went to ask Xiaomi.

"My dear, what did you buy today?"

“Did you buy something delicious?”

"Or is it a purchased treasure?"

Seeing their curious expressions, Xiaomi said to them, "These are great things. They are all yours."

The three people became even more curious and kept asking Xiaomi what it was.

Xiaomi walked into the main room and asked Wang Zhuzi to put the package on the table and open it.

"Wow, this is a brush. And paper."

"And there are books. And there are books."

Hearing their shouts, everyone in the family gathered in the main room.

They all looked at the things on the table.

Old Lady Wang looked at her grandchildren jumping and skipping and said, "Why are you yelling? Be quiet."

This is what Guaibao bought for you, so that you can go to private school. Look how much your sister loves you.

I think of you all the good things in life. Don't forget your sweetheart when you become successful in the future.

Otherwise I will beat you to death."

Gou Wa covered his mouth in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was going to study in a private school.

God knows how much he envied Uncle Yongye, who could go to school and take the exam. People in the village said that Uncle Yongye could even become the top scholar in the future.

In his opinion, Qian Yongye is the most powerful person in Lotus Village.

Of course, this was in the past. Now he thinks Guaibao is the most powerful person.

But Qian Yongye is the most powerful person besides Xiaomi.

Now that he heard that he could go to school, he was so happy that he wanted to go out for a run.

Tiedan was also very happy. But he still asked, "Grandma, I heard that studying requires a lot of money. Do we have enough money for all three of us to go?"

Gou Wa also said quickly: "Grandma, if it's not enough, I won't go. Anyway, I'm the youngest. Even if I go, I won't remember as quickly as my brothers."

"Well, then I won't go. I don't like studying anyway. I want to cry when I hear about studying."

Goudan heard Tiedan say that he wanted a lot of money, and also heard Gou Wa say that he would leave the opportunity to the two of them.

I quickly opened my mouth to speak. By the end, tears were almost flowing out.

I quickly raised my head and held back my tears.

Old Lady Wang saw that none of the children were selfish, and her tone became much better.

"If I tell you to go, then go. But this year, let Chengzi teach you at home.

I will send you to private school next spring."

The children started laughing again, looked at each other, and nodded happily.

"But I have to say this up front. When I enter the private school next year, I heard that the teachers will test my academic performance first.

If you are not chosen by the gentleman, then don't blame me."

"Grandma, don't worry. We will definitely learn well from our uncle."

The three of them quickly made their assurance to Old Lady Wang.

Then Xiaomi distributed the books to several people.

Since the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were not needed, Old Lady Wang put them aside.

I will give it to them later when I practice calligraphy.

Now they asked Wang Zhuzi to make a few sand tables for them.

Let them practice with a stick on a sandbox first.

It was a waste to write on paper at the beginning. After all, paper is really expensive.

After being told that they would officially start studying with Wang Chengzi tomorrow, several children ran out excitedly.

You can tell at a glance that he ran out to show off to his friends.

Wang Chengzi took a copy of "The Augmented Collection of Wise Sayings" and sat on the doorstep to read it.

Xiaomi took the inkstone she bought at Shuxiangzhai and walked to Wang Chengzi.

Then he sat next to Wang Chengzi.

He took the inkstone out from behind him and placed it in front of Wang Chengzi.

He said in a playful way: "Dad, look at the inkstone I bought today. Isn't it beautiful?

The shopkeeper said that when this inkstone is out of ink, you can dip your breath into it and write.

I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Wang Chengzi's attention was attracted by Xiaomi.

He took the inkstone from Xiaomi's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, it's beautiful."

Xiaomi saw that Wang Chengzi seemed to be in a better mood.

Then he said, "Dad, when I went to the city today, I went with Uncle Yongye.

I asked Uncle Yongye about your past, but Uncle Yongye didn't tell me.

He said I should wait for you to tell me in person.

Then I asked my uncle, but he only knew a little.

I wanted to ask my grandma, but I think I should ask you."

Xiaomi quickly finished a long speech to Wang Chengzi, but was afraid that Wang Chengzi would be unhappy.

He had to lower his head and dared not look at Wang Chengzi.

Wang Chengzi looked at Xiaomi and paused for a long time before he spoke: "It's nothing, it's just that when your mother and I got married, I was preparing for the examination.

I also want to win three prizes in a row, ride a horse and parade through the streets. I want to bring honor to my family when I return.”

Speaking of this, Wang Chengzi shook his head in self-mockery.

He continued, "Just a few days before the Tongsheng exam, I suddenly had the idea of ​​going home to take a look.

When I came back, I found out that your uncle had broken his leg while going into the mountains to collect honey in order to raise money for me.

She was lying unconscious on the bed. My sister-in-law was crying at home while she was pregnant with Tiedan and Daya. Goudan was still crying in his swaddling clothes.

Your grandmother was seriously ill at the time and had difficulty getting up. My family was afraid that it would affect my exam, so no one notified me.

At that time, I felt that the years of studying I had done did not provide my family with a good life.

It’s holding them back.”

Xiaomi glanced at Wang Chengzi and said, "So you suddenly said you don't want to study anymore?"

Wang Chengzi listened to Xiaomi's tone, touched his nose awkwardly, and nodded.

Xiaomi couldn't help rolling his eyes and said:

"No wonder my grandfather wanted to beat you. When you came back, was my grandma awake? Was my uncle okay?"

"No."

"In that case, why didn't you wait two days to finish the exam?"

Can't you come back after you finish the exam?"

Wang Chengzi smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything.

Xiaomi knew that Wang Chengzi might have done that at the time because the whole family’s hopes were pinned on him.

He was a little overwhelmed by the sudden change in his family. After all, he was still a teenager at the time.
