Chapter 89 Autumn
Half a month later, after Yuan Dasheng went to the Fucheng, Yuan Da and his brothers heard the news. They were a little disappointed at the moment and expressed that they were willing to accompany Yuan Dasheng to the Fucheng.
After Yuan Dasheng talked to his two brothers about his nephews' affairs, Yuan Da and his brothers also knew that they were now taking over the discipline of their sons and found that their sons had become arrogant without realizing it.
Yuanda and his brother were furious and were glad that they had separated at this time. Otherwise, they would have ignored the children's affairs, and sooner or later the children would drag down their future.
When Yuan Dasheng was at home, his nephews would come to the nursing home to study in the morning, and in the evening, they would also be willing to come to the nursing home to listen to Yuan Dasheng tell some stories about reading.
When Yuan Shijin and his wife saw their three sons getting close to each other, they also saw Yuan Dasheng willing to teach their grandchildren to study. The couple smiled from morning to night, and did not hide their good mood when they were away.
A few days later, Yuan Dasheng came back from Fucheng, and he was also full of smiles. When he saw Yuan Shijin and his wife, he said happily: "Dad, mother, I did a good job in the exam. In a few days, I will go to Fucheng official school to study and have no tuition."
After Yuan Shijin and his wife were happy, they were worried again. The official school in the city was exempted from tuition, but the living expenses were inevitable. Yuan Dasheng said that he would try to take another major exam earlier.
When Yuanda and his brothers came, Yuandasheng informed them of this great news. Yuanda and his brothers were very excited and said, "My brother, we will send you to the Fucheng Official School to study."
Yuan Dasheng smiled and refused, saying that when the winter vacation was on, Yuan Da and his brothers could go to the Fucheng to pick him up together.
After Yuanda and his brothers were happy, they asked about tuition and living expenses. Before Yuandasheng could answer, Yuan Shijin told him about the tuition and accommodation expenses he had previously reported, and said that the family had prepared the money for the past six months.
Yuanda and his brother looked at the expressions of Yuan Shijin and his wife. The brothers said that there would be no such money in the family next year, so their brothers could get it together.
Yuan Shijin felt comforted in his heart, but he didn't believe what his two sons said. If they had this ability, he wouldn't have split up directly back then.
After Yuanda and his brothers left, Yuan Shijin said to Yuandasheng: "It is better to have less trouble than to have more trouble. Your brothers are wholehearted about you, while your sister-in-law are more thoughtful about you.
If they know that you don’t have to pay for your tuition in Fucheng, they will be afraid that something will happen again. When you go to Fucheng to go to school, I will tell the truth to your two brothers."
Yuan Dasheng remembered the actions of his two sisters-in-law. There was no need to tell the truth at the moment, and he didn't believe that his two brothers could hide it.
Half a month later, when Yuan Dasheng was about to go to the capital city, Yuan Da and his brother specially sent ten taels of silver, but Yuan Dasheng refused to accept it. Yuan Da and his brother were particularly unhappy: "My brother, your second brother and I have only such great ability, you accept it."
Yuan Dasheng had to tell them the truth at this time. Only then did Yuan Da and his brothers take back the money, and they said they would keep the secret for the time being.
Yuan Shijin felt much more comfortable because of Yuan Da and his brothers' behavior. After Yuan Dasheng left, he said earnestly to his two sons: "You brothers have finally learned to be smart this time. Even if Sheng'er doesn't accept the money from you two, he will remember his love."
Yuanda and his brothers both lowered their heads. They were not women in the family. They only saw the interests in front of them and believed that Yuandasheng would go to study in the capital city and have been having a hard time with his parents in recent years.
They thought Yuan Dasheng would not think about things. Although his parents at home were already old, he could still act so willfully.
Yuanda and his brothers were glad that they had gone this way. They were also people with sons. They did their duty as sons. As Yuan Sheng said, as the elders taught by words and deeds, I hope that the younger generation will do better than them in the future.
People from Yuanjia Village were busy after Yuan Dasheng went to Fucheng official school to study, and Yuan Shijin and his wife heard some gossip. Everyone thought that they were so old and had to work hard to earn money to study for their son, which was not worth it.
Even if Yuan Shijin and his wife explained that Yuan Dasheng would not have to pay tuition fees in the official school in the city, and if he performed well, he would not have to pay for the future accommodation and living expenses.
Everyone just thinks that Yuan Shijin and his wife are too good at bragging. After all, their two daughters-in-law said outside that the tuition fees for official schools in the city are more than those in the county. Yuan Dasheng should not be considered a scholar, and he does not understand the difficulties of the two old people at all in this regard.
When Yuan Shijin and his wife were about to defend their confession, they came forward to stop them. At this time, the couple would rather act low-key.
Except for Yuan Dasheng, the people in Yuanjia Village also reached the city as far as the distance. For them, the city was a place where mountains and rivers were one after another, and naturally it was a place where ordinary children could not climb.
Yuan Shijin therefore said to Yuanda and his brothers: "You brothers must be more successful and send the children to study and let them understand. In the future, they will not be as capable as their uncle. At least they can also find an errand in the city."
Yuanda and his brothers heard about the incident in Fucheng by Yuandasheng. Yuandasheng said that the juren named Qi Qiliang in Qijia Village had already become the master of his family in Fucheng.
He said that the people in Qijia Village did not only know the affairs of the county town as before, nor did they know the affairs outside the county town. The people in their village had already made the flowers and plants business to the capital city.
After hearing this, Yuanda and his brothers were envious. They were willing to work hard in the field, but the field could only produce so many things. They also wanted to do other things, so they asked Yuandasheng for his opinion.
Yuan Dasheng said that he didn't know other strengths of his brothers, and these things were untrue. Only by witnessing them with their own eyes can they know them.
In autumn, the best day of the year, Yuanjia Village was full of joy. Yuanda and his brothers proposed to visit Yuandasheng in the mansion city, and the woman in the family cried and stopped her.
After hearing the truth, Yuan Shijin and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. Their two sons had been to the county town and were all with people from the village. Their brothers wanted to go to the mansion by themselves. Yuan Shijin and his wife were worried about their own misfortune on the road.
Yuanda and his brothers bowed their heads to face their parents for several days. They felt sorry for it. They originally promised Yuandasheng to pick him up in winter, but in this situation, they could not leave the entrance of Yuanjia Village.
Yuan Shijin looked at his two unscrupulous sons speechlessly, and he said angrily: "If you don't go to the capital, Sheng'er doesn't have to worry about the safety of you two."
If you want to go to the Fucheng, and wait until Sheng'er settles down in the Fucheng, he will accompany you to the Fucheng, and maybe you can stay for several days."
