Chapter 488

Yang Heshu directly turned his head and stopped talking to him. The method sounded good, but he was not a fool. Not to mention that he could do this as a small magistrate, or even his father might not be able to do it.

So this kind of unrealistic method is good to listen to the heart, and there is no need to ask in detail.

but……

Yang Heshu looked at the three children, and finally set their eyes on the faces of Man Bao and Bai Shanbao. These two children are really smart.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes and laughing, and said to the two, "You guys should study hard and go to the Imperial College in Beijing in the future."

Man Bao asked curiously, "Can I also go to the Imperial College?"

Yang Heshu looked at her regretfully, but it was difficult to hit her directly, "So far, no woman has been admitted to the Imperial College."

Man Bao was very confident in himself, pointed at Bai Shanbao and said, "If he can pass the exam, I will definitely be able to."

Man Bao decided to go back to study more seriously.

Bai Shanbao was also aroused by her fighting spirit, and naturally he didn't want to fall behind. As soon as the two worked hard, Bai Erlang suffered because he was quickly left behind by them.

Fortunately, after the Chinese New Year, villagers from three nearby villages brought their children to the door again, wanting to continue sending their children back to study.

This time, the number of people sent back this time is less than the previous one, and the two oldest ones are no longer coming back.

Those who were sent back were all about the same age as Bai Erlang, or younger than Bai Erlang.

After a little thought, Mr. Zhuang withdrew the generous bundle of repairs given by the Bai family and agreed to their request.

Mrs. Liu and Mr. Bai did not stop Mr. Zhuang from continuing to teach in the school, but they were also unwilling to lose the bundle of repairs.

Both of them knew that what Mr. Zhuang taught Bai Shanbao and Bai Er was worth this bundle of repairs.

When Man Bao got home, he said, "Dad, let's send the big head and the big girls to school too."

"That won't work, aren't they literate with you?"

"What I teach is not as good as what my husband taught, and they don't have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so the handwriting is too ugly, and it's not good to make an account book."

Old Zhou Tou thought for a while, but still shook his head, "There are so many children in the family who are sent to school, how much do you have to pay, and how many books and ink, paper, inkstones and inkstones do you have to buy, no, no.":

Man Bao said: "The family is not short of money now."

"There's no money for that, either."

Man Bao pouted and went to see her mother.

Qian looked at his sons and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Dalang and his younger brothers looked at each other and said, "Mother, let's go back and ask the children at night."

The children naturally want to go, even the oldest one wants to go, "Although reading is difficult and I don't like reading very much, I know that reading is useful, and I want to learn to write well. My aunt has already started to teach us how to raise money. Yes, but we will never learn."

Daya nodded again and again, "My aunt said that as soon as the husband taught her, she would be able to do it. She said that it might be because she did not teach well."

Zhou Dalang was silent for a long time, and after sending the children back to sleep, he said to Xiao Qian: "I remember when my uncle was very young, he went into the city with us and passed a school, and he was lying outside the window of the school listening to Mr. When teaching, he memorized several words at once, and later he often walked for nearly an hour to the city to eavesdrop on other people's classes."

"It's also here at Manbao, so look, how smart Uncle and Manbao are." Zhou Dalang whispered: "Dad is definitely not willing to spend money to manage a family, and the number of children in each room is not right, I Look, why don't we pay for it ourselves."

After Xiao Qian's calculation, he frowned and said, "Shuxiu is not much, but to buy so many books, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it will cost a lot, and..."

She lowered her voice and said, "Sweeping the floor, mowing the lawn, and washing clothes at home have always been done by the children, and let them all go to school. Who does these tasks?"

"Then let's do it," Zhou Dalang whispered with a tenacity inherited from Qian's family, "as long as they and their future children are half as smart as Manbao."

Little Qian thought about it too.

So he nodded and said, "Okay."

On Tuesday, Lang was also talking to Feng about going to school, "...the children are not too young, and the two girls have both studied with Man Bao for several years, and they know the characters, so they can learn it when they go to Mr. Zhuang. In the last two years, I came back after I learned what Man Bao couldn’t teach or didn’t teach.”

"Will father-in-law give you money?"

"Father is definitely not happy, but I think mother may be willing. Let's see when the time comes. Anyway, let's prepare first. It's really not good. We will send it by ourselves."

Feng shi had no objection and said with a smile, "It doesn't cost much to send one anyway."

Although she doesn't care about the money in the room, she also knows how much her husband has.

On Tuesday, Lang said in surprise: "Why is it one, the second, the second and the third are going, so there are three."

"Second and third are also going?"

"Of course I went, um, Sanya is still young, maybe I shouldn't send her there, let her study with Manbao for two more years at home, and when she's older, it's the same as her sister to stay for two years and then come back. ." Zhou Lang planned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good, "It's good, it can save a lot of money."

"What's the use of reading at a girl's house?"

"Look at Man Bao, what's the use you said?"

Feng Shi: "...Then, isn't that aunt?"

"Er Ya is also very smart, at least much smarter than Er Tou."

Feng Shi: "You know that this is not what I said?"

"Which one is that?" On Tuesday, Lang frowned, and when he reacted, his brows tightened, "This time is different from the past, there is no shortage of money at home, and Erya has learned how good bookkeeping is, you don't know, now Ah, even if you set up a stall on both sides of the road in the county town, it will be better to do some arithmetic, otherwise you will be foolishly fooled by the gangsters on the street."

"Look at our Manbao, are you worried that she will be bullied as a fool when you go out?" said Tuesday Lang: "How much of the money the family earns now is earned by Manbao, and how much is earned by our brothers? There is a big difference between reading and not reading, you don't want your daughter to live a good life in the future?"

"Then, at least you have to ask the big brother and the sister-in-law to see if they are sending Da Ya."

"Don't worry, my sister-in-law will have no problem. Look at her. Although she is a girl, she is not biased."

"You mean I'm partial."

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

Feng shi was so angry that he twisted him.

Zhou Lang didn't have this worry anymore. He only had two sons, one of whom had just learned to stand, so he couldn't move, so he just sent the four heads.

Chu Chulang was very worried. He looked at his son on the left and his son on the right. He didn't look like Man Bao, so he couldn't help complaining to Mrs. Fang, "Don't you all say that your nephew looks like an aunt? What's wrong with this kid? He doesn't look like Man Bao at all, so can he read in the future?"

Fang Shi was so angry that he pushed him aside, carried the child to the bed and slept on his side, saying, "People say that the nephew looks like an uncle, but I have never heard of a nephew that looks like an aunt."

"Who said it, I've heard more than one person say it."

"Don't torture your son's brain. You should think about your own money bag first. It costs a lot of money to study. When your son can go to school, can you afford it?"
