Chapter 1424: Face turned pale with fright
It's not like he didn't know that letting Lao Qi continue to study would be good for the family.
But between the benefits and the big brother, he still chose the big brother.
"Alas..." Zhu Da sighed deeply again, "I don't know."
"When the seventh child goes to the state school to study, my mother will definitely not let him go alone. Among us brothers, the third child is more suitable. The third child also went to the county examination before. It won't be shameful to take him there, and it can also be done."
Take care of the seventh child..." Zhu Er analyzed, "Then who will go to the town to accompany Dabao and Erbao to study? It can't be you, right?"
He was more worried. If his eldest brother really left, wouldn't he have to do all the farm work at home in the future?
Zhu Er never thought that Zhu Si and Zhu Wu would help with farm work. Those two boys would help if they were busy, but they were not as good at work as their eldest brother.
Who knows if you will pull any tricks while doing this?
Moreover, he is used to partnering with his eldest brother, but he is not used to a sudden change of person.
Zhu Da was silent.
"If you want to go, that's fine. It's just work in the fields..." Zhu Er said tentatively, "Brother, this year our land can only be planted using paddy fields. It's the time to learn skills. You want to go."
I won’t be able to learn by then. Moreover, Dabao and Erbao are still young. They will have to study for several years. It’s unclear when they will be able to enjoy their blessings..."
In fact, he was "persuading" Zhu Da. Anyone can go, but Zhu Da absolutely cannot.
Zhu Da didn't know that Zhu Er also had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but he knew that as the eldest son of the family, he really couldn't leave the family behind.
Dabao, Erbao doesn’t study for a year or two. I have to leave this behind. I don’t know when I will pick it up again.
He originally farmed the land at home, but he stopped farming for several years. Can the land still belong to him?
Zhu Da's selfish intention is that when the family is divided in the future, he, as the elder brother, can take the lion's share.
As long as he takes the lion's share, he won't be afraid that he won't be able to support his two sons.
"I don't know what mother means. Why would you want Lao Qi to go to the state school to study?" Zhu Er sighed, "It's far and expensive, and I don't know what's going on. With Lao Qi's temper, if he goes out and gets arrested,
What should I do if I’m bullied?”
Worrying about this and that, I always felt that Zhu Qi went to such a strange place to study just to get someone killed and be bullied.
"Alas..." Zhu Da sighed again, "As long as it is mother's decision, when will our family be able to resist mother?"
"Then let this matter be settled like this?" Zhu Er asked.
Zhu Da was silent again.
Ye Yuran didn't know that in just one morning, someone in the family wanted to "rebel".
The sweet potato seedlings at home were planted in the ground, and she also began to prepare for rice breeding.
Because she had to bring the entire Zhujia Village to plant, she naturally couldn't do the work secretly by herself. Instead, she needed to discuss with Li Zheng and the clan leader in advance about when to start breeding.
The land in the village has almost been plowed. Each household has cleared out an acre of paddy field and then notified them to make it more precise so that they can start breeding.
The breeding of rice is different from that of sweet potatoes. For sweet potatoes, you just need to dig a hole and throw the sweet potatoes into it. But for rice, you need to pick the right weather, put it into a linen bag, and soak it in water.
It cannot be exposed to light, but when the weather is nice, you can carry the bag to the yard to "bathe in the sun".
This light lasted for several days.
Each family's soaking time and experience are different, and the time for the millet to germinate is also more or less different.
Needless to say, the Zhu family must have said these words from Zhu Da and Zhu Er.
Almost everyone in the Zhu family knows that the two brothers will farm the land in the future, so Ye Yuran mainly leaves the farming skills and work to them.
But Ye Yuran didn't expect that when she assigned the job, Zhu Da and Zhu Er promised to do well, but in actual actions they were slow, and there were problems at first sight.
"What's going on with you guys? Why do you look so reluctant to do something like this?"
When Ye Yuran first asked, they didn't speak.
Later, it was Zhu Er who said: "Mom, it's not that I'm reluctant, but my eldest brother doesn't know how long he can continue to cultivate this land."
"What do you mean?" Ye Yuran was surprised that Zhu Da actually had the idea of not wanting to farm?
She quickly looked at Zhu Da, but she couldn't see anything wrong.
"Isn't it that Lao Qi is going to study in Duzhou? Then there will only be Dabao and Erbao left in the town," Zhu Er said, "How can the eldest brother rest assured that the two children are studying in the town? He will definitely go.
Accompany me... He has gone to study with me, so how can he still farm?"
Ye Yuran was speechless: "So you have been unhappy these past two days, just because of this?"
She didn't expect that the two brothers also had their own little ideas.
"Okay, I understand," Ye Yuran said, "I will talk about this during dinner tonight."
In the evening, dinner time.
Everyone in the Zhu family was sitting at the dining table.
Happy and unhappy people all put on their faces at this time, making it clear for everyone to see.
Needless to say, those who don't want Zhu Qi to go to the state to study will definitely have an unhappy face; while those who want Zhu Qi to go to the state to study will definitely have a happy face.
Old Man Zhu said: This old woman is going to cause trouble again!
Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei were very obedient and knew that this matter had nothing to do with them, so they found an excuse to take Lu Daya, Lu Erya, and Lu Sanya away.
For a while, the hall was quiet.
Ye Yuran looked at everyone's expressions and had some idea in his mind.
After all, when the news came out that Zhu Qi was going to study in the state, not only Zhu Da and Zhu Er reacted, but everyone else in the room also had their own thoughts and reactions.
"I think you all know that Lao Qi is going to study in Shangzhou, right?" Ye Yuran asked.
"Well, we already know, mother." No one else dared to respond, so Mrs. Li spoke up and said.
"If you agree with Lao Qi going, raise your hand."
As soon as Ye Yuran finished speaking, Zhu Si and his wife raised their heads, followed by Zhu Wu.
Mrs. Lin, on the other hand, looked at her man's movements and followed suit by lifting it slowly.
Ms. Liu was very active. She originally wanted Zhu Er to lift it together, but unexpectedly, not to mention asking him to lift it together, even her own raised hand was pressed down by Zhu Er.
"What are you doing?" Ms. Liu was confused.
Zhu Er didn't speak.
Mrs. Liu looked at this, looked at that, and finally looked at Zhu Da, hesitantly lifted it halfway, then dropped it back, saying: It's not that I don't want to lift, but my man didn't lift it, so I can't go against him.
.
Zhu Bamei, Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao also raised their little hands high.
Except for Mr. Zhu who simply "abstained" from voting, it can be said that in terms of the number of hands raised, the majority of people support Zhu Qi's study in the state.
Seeing this scene, Ms. Liu's heart dropped.
——Mom, what does this mean?
——Forget it if you don’t agree, why do you want to make such an insult?
