The road to get rich through salted fish

This time, Liang Jidong was really, really scared, with tears and snot running down his face, rubbing against Liang Feng's trousers, showing silvery white marks.

"Father, I won't do it anymore, I won't do it again, please let me study, I will work hard and pass the exam."

Liang Feng broke his head away with his left hand in disgust, while admiring his panic-stricken appearance with straight eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

For a person like Liang Jidong, if you don't hit his sore spot, he will never take it seriously. How would he know to take other people's sorrow and pain into his heart, and how would he consider even a little bit of it for others.

"Ji Dong, your mother said that you came down to earth as a Wenqu star, and you will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future, but I remember that you even passed the entrance examination for children three times until this year. Wenquxing is not like this, you are now sixteen. I'll give you two years, and if you don't pass the examination as a scholar in the next year, then go home honestly and farm like your brother."

With runny nose and tears all over Liang Jidong's face, he shook his head, how many catties and taels he has, can he still not be clear?He even took the Tongsheng exam twice, let alone a scholar who was a hundred times more difficult than Tongsheng?

"Father, a scholar... Grandpa and uncle, both of them have been in the exam for a lifetime, but neither of them..."

"Your grandfather is your grandfather, and you are you. Your grandfather exhausted his family's wealth in order to be a scholar. In the end, he even sold your mother to marry your uncle. Such a thing will not happen in our Liang family,"

Liang Feng recalled by the way that his cheap elder brother Liang Rong was even more dissatisfied with his past behavior, and snorted, "As for your uncle, don't say anything..."

"Father, my son will copy books for the bookstore to subsidize the family in the future..." Liang Jidong held onto Liang Feng's trouser legs tightly with both hands, and with sincere eyes, he backed off again.

"Speaking of these..." Liang Feng paused, and said with a half-smile, "Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"Since you are a Wenqu star descending to earth, then it's nothing to be a scholar. I heard that the really talented people in the previous dynasty even won the Juren at the age of 15."

"Since you are a literary star and you are invited to participate in various cultural events from time to time, you must have great talent. I don't require you to be admitted to Juren at the age of 15. As long as you can be admitted to the scholar, you are considered qualified."

"And you have to be in the top ten of your class. Otherwise, you won't be able to make it through the next exam without the extra rice and money from the trainees."

Hearing that his father's requirements not only did not decrease after he begged hard, but became more and more strict, Liang Jidong's heart became colder and colder.

He pondered for a while.

But in the end, Liang Jidong knew the current affairs very well, and he didn't dare to say anything more, otherwise, he was afraid that his father really wanted him, so he would go to the Juren examination.

This time he was thorough, knowing that there was no room for turning things around.

……

Liang Jidong gritted his teeth, forced himself to exhale, then raised himself up and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and replied, "Got it, Dad..."

What can he say?Want your father to change his attitude?impossible.

Mother said that she was going back to her natal family, and wanted her uncle and grandpa to teach father a lesson for him, but would father be afraid of that useless uncle?impossible.

Don't expect to get support from my uncle's family, or even borrow money from him to study. If my grandfather and his family don't come to play the autumn wind in January, it's all burning incense.

Or, maybe people are really cheap. At first, he was complacent in the praise of everyone, and he never thought that being able to study was something that should be considered with all his heart.

Isn't it natural?

He is inherently superior to others, so everyone should naturally come to support him, support him, and beg him to study, because they all rely on him to see the dawn of prosperity...

But first, his father said that he would not let him continue to study, and he was so scared that he almost died. Perhaps only after losing it, can he know how precious those things that are at your fingertips are.

Now his father agreed to give him the opportunity to study, but gave him a two-year time ban. Although he still felt that it was very difficult to meet the conditions, he actually felt a little grateful to God in his heart, because the strip was wrapped around his neck. The rope loosened a bit.

……

In the afternoon of this day, Liang Feng was sitting under the sycamore tree in the yard, shaking his fan, chatting with his lovely grandchildren, and instructing his second child to do some carpentry.

Although the second child is lazy and greedy all day long, he has a flexible mind. Some of the modern carpentry techniques are difficult for his brothers to turn around, but he knows everything.

Those who want to save laziness, save space, and save energy, anyway, all kinds of technologies that are lazy for the convenience of human beings, the second child is very understandable. It seems that the progress and development of this society is ultimately driven by lazy people.

When he was helping to draw the line next to him, there was a noise from the courtyard door, and the idle little stone got up when he heard it, ran over and opened the door.

The visitor carried a basket in his hand and covered it with a piece of blue sackcloth, and walked in swaggeringly, looking very familiar.

Seeing Liang Feng holding the ink fountain in his hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Ah Feng, hey, you can work now, it seems that you are recovering well?"

Seeing him, Liang Feng unconsciously brought a smile on his face.

The original owner has a dull personality and is naturally not good at making friends. Even in this small village, there are not many familiar peers.

And the guy in front of him was gradually familiar with him when he was studying carpentry in the county.

Shuzhou Prefecture is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with abundant rainfall and suitable living conditions. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are hardly affected here. The local population is large, about 70 people.

As for Xinghua Village, among the dozens of villages under the jurisdiction of Tong'an County in Shuzhou Prefecture, it also ranks in the middle and upper reaches. The ethnic groups are multiplying well, and almost every family is flourishing.

There are about [-] households in the whole village, with a total population of [-] to [-]. In the ancient times when only half of the children survived, it can definitely be regarded as a big village.

Their village is mainly composed of Cheng, Liang, and Zhang families with three surnames, plus some individual households who moved from the area north of the Yangtze River due to natural disasters or other reasons.

The person in front of him is the first of the three surnames of the Cheng clan, and his full name is Cheng Lei.

The counties in Shuzhou Prefecture are far away from each other, and there is not much communication with each other, and they all have their own dialects.

When I was an apprentice in a carpenter's shop in the county town, there were a few people of the same age who came here especially from other counties. Although Cheng Lei was lively by nature, most of the time he chatted with those people was chatting with each other, and no one would listen to them. I don't know who, no matter how big the heart is, I can't hold on!

In the end, they could only chat with Liang Feng from the same village. After chatting, the two became acquainted.

Although Liang Feng was dull, he was sincere after all. As long as he was willing to spend time with him, everyone would not be too bored with him.

Cheng Lei's particularly lively temperament, Xu Shi and Liang Feng are more complementary, and the two of them have also forged a revolutionary friendship, which has not changed much for decades.

Every time Liang Feng came back from work in the county capital, he usually only chatted with Cheng Lei, bragging about something, and he probably talked more with Cheng Lei than Zheng's wife who lived with him day and night.

"Why did you bring things here? Do you think your life is too good?"

Cheng Lei stretched out his index finger and shook him, "Tsk tsk, you got hurt once, and your mouth has become worse."

"Hey, let's think about it. This family still depends on me. These years, I have been patronizing to earn money outside, and the children in the family have been taught to be like this by the mother-in-law. Oh, really."

Liang Feng stopped walking forward, turned around and smiled at him.

"It's good to think about it, you are too sincere," Cheng Lei followed him to the hall, and said casually, "I came here yesterday morning, and your eldest daughter-in-law said that you went to the field , I said that you really can't sit still, you run around as soon as you can get up."

Liang Feng smiled, picked up the cold tea on the table, and poured him a cup, "I knew you were going to bring something, so I hid you specially. Who knew that you could hide from the monk, but you couldn't hide from the temple."

"You... that's enough! A little thing, what's it worth, and you can't stop talking." Cheng Lei took the tea and drank it, then raised his other hand to hit him.

"Why are you still getting started? Hey, it took a long time to go to Fucheng this time. I heard that your daughter-in-law is about to give birth."

"Well, Ah Jun is taking care of him at home. I'm not like you. I have several grandchildren, but I'm the first one."

"Who is to blame for this? Who told you that you are so picky and picky, and you got married so late. At that time, your father and mother's hair almost turned gray. Who knows, your son is just as good as you, and getting married is also easy. Later than others."

"Hahaha... like me like me..."

Hearing this, Cheng Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Thinking of the situation at home, he couldn't help but start to show off proudly, "Fortunately, I waited for two more years to marry such a good husband as Ah Jun. Alas, the luckiest thing in my life is to marry Ah Jun." Jun."

"Yes, yes, everyone in the village knows how good your husband is. Whenever you meet, don't mention him."

Cheng Lei is different from the original body, he is married to a husband, and it is much more difficult for a brother to have children than a woman, so the two of them have been married for many years and only had two children, one son and one brother.

However, although Cheng Lei looks like a fool on the surface, he is actually a peerless good man who loves his husband and children.

In this world, it is difficult for women to survive, not to mention the low status of brothers who are even more difficult to bear than women.

And in Cheng Lei's family, the two brothers, father and son, can be said to live a thousand times happier than most girls in the village.

How important it is for a parent who values ​​their children and treats them equally, to bring them a warm childhood and healthy development throughout their lives.

When he was in modern times, he once heard a saying that lucky people spend their whole lives being healed by childhood, while unlucky people spend their whole lives healing their childhood.

Although all kinds of corvees and taxes in ancient times were quite heavy, and everyone was forced by life, running around and working hard, and didn't have a lot of thought to be hypocritical, but the harm is the harm, after all, it is there.

People just don't have time to pay attention, it's not that they don't care. Even without these injuries, they may still live a very tiring and hard life, but when they are tired, their hearts are always warm when they think of their childhood.
