Chapter VI Consent to Mongolian Learning(1/2)

My grandfather's house is actually equivalent to two rooms, a bit similar to one bedroom and one living room.

In front is the front hall, with a teahouse and tables and chairs. Generally, when important guests come, grandpa will entertain guests here.

There is a small door ahead, which is equivalent to his grandparents' bedroom.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I heard you are looking for grandson." Ling Yun stood in front of the door and smiled with his head exposed.

"Oh, my good grandson is here, come in quickly."

With permission, Ling Yun walked forward a few steps and walked to Ling Dashan.

"Good grandson, I just heard you say you want to study, right?" Ling Dashan picked up Ling Yun and told him straight to the point.

"Grandpa is willing to let his grandson study, so he will go."

"Good grandson, whether it's reading or reading."

Looking at the five-year-old Ling Yun with small arms and legs, I am afraid I will not be able to do heavy work in the future.

If you can recognize some words, you can work as a housekeeper in a wealthy family, or you can work as a bookkeeper in a tavern or even worse, you can find a living thing.

In this way, listening to Ling Dashan chattering, he finally reluctantly agreed to let him go to the Li family in the north of the village to enlighten him first.

As for the future, I have not explained in detail whether to continue.

The news was announced by Ling Dashan in front of his whole family during supper.

"Next I'll say one thing."

Ling Dashan coughed and moistened his mouth, and everyone sat quietly.

"Silou is five years old this year, and it's time to find something to do. However, given that Siou's body is weak and not suitable for physical work, I am going to let him go to Brother Li's place to enlighten me tomorrow."

After saying that, Ling Dashan looked at Liang and his father. The two were obviously stunned, ready to move but want to speak and stop.

"Dad, our family's conditions are affordable to Silang's enlightenment, but if we go further, we may be..."

Ling Daren still couldn't help but say what he was thinking, although he also wanted his son to go to school.

In recent years, he has not seen the enlightenment of the past, but there are very few things that can be further improved. I am afraid that in the end, the end of the game will be in vain.

After spending money, I went to school for a few years, but I still did the same job as them.

According to his idea, it is better to find a craftsman and learn a technical job.

"Let's talk about the future, and this matter will be decided today."

Before his father could finish his words, he was interrupted by his grandfather.

Seeing Ling Dashan's serious expression on his face, his father wanted to say something else, but when he saw the person beside him pulling him, he sighed, but he didn't continue.

"Father-in-law, since Siro is going to go to school to enlightenment, have other things ready?"

Yang was worried about admission. Her son was smart since childhood. She saw it and wanted him to enlighten him in her heart.

It’s just that as a woman, she has no right to speak at home, and she and her husband don’t care about money, so she keeps it at ease.

Now that she saw her father-in-law suggestion, she hurriedly pulled her husband's sleeve and signaled him not to speak.

"Sunny, come here." Liang looked at Ling Yun and called him.

"grandmother."

"Oh, my good grandson."

This shout made Liang's heart full of joy. Their family was just such a treasure.

If others can go to school, we Silang may not be worse than them, so she said slowly.

"I'll listen to the old man's enlightenment. I can't afford it. I still have some dowry."

"Old woman, this..."

"Grandma, why don't grandson go to the house?"

Ling Yun raised his head and couldn't bear it. In ancient times, he had to think about it again and again when he entered school, which made him feel that this path was correct.

"Good grandson, why aren't you going to go again?"

"The grandson can't bear to spend the dowry of grandmother."

"Don't worry, grandmother can afford it. Besides, this thing that you don't bring in life and death will still be given to you in the future, but it's just earlier and later."

Liang was very relieved that his grandson could think so, which made him even more determined to let him go to school.

"Mom..." Ling Daren, who was beside him, couldn't sit still.

"My son is in school, so how can he let his grandmother get his dowry? I will go to Fang Yuanwai to do a short-term job tomorrow. I will let Silang pay for the future expenses, as my father."

At this point, as the protagonist Di Lingyun did not have any sudden surprises, but was a little depressed.

Because he saw the family's concerns, he still had to go this path.

If he wants to understand the world, he has to study. Otherwise, even if you are smart, illiterate, and do not understand the law, you will not know that you will be beheaded one day.

Enlightenment is about paying tuition, generally speaking, paying tuition fees, usually 80 to 120 kilograms of wheat.

Because Li Chuan is from the same village, Ling Yun doesn’t have to be so expensive. He only costs 60 kilograms, which is considered a benefit for the same villager.

But compared to the Lingyun family, sixty kilograms are a lot, which is equivalent to the food of Lingyun family for several months.

This is why I don’t want to send my children to enlightenment, and I can’t stand it.

After dinner, Ling Daren called Ling Yun in front of him.

"Do you feel that my father doesn't want you to go to school just now?"

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment. He was indeed thinking this way just now. Now that his father asked him this, he didn't realize that he had some questions.

"Yes, why did my father just now?"

When he saw Ling Daren ask him, he simply said what he thought.

"Oh, no. There is no reason why I don't want my son to go to school."

"Do you know how many people are from here and outside, within a radius of dozens of miles, and how many people can go further?"

"Studying can make a family prosperous, but it can also make a fortune. Even though Uncle Li Chuan was a wealthy family who had been a juren, he also wanted to take the imperial examination road and ended up being a ruined house."

"You are weak and sick, and our family has never had a tradition of books. It's just that it would be better to keep these money from elementary school for you to get a bigger wife."

"Besides, you have no brothers, and you have uncles and a group of sisters. Not only will you be bullied but you will be looked down upon. It's hard."

Ling Yun looked at his choked father, at a loss and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only cheer him up.

"Don't worry, my father, I must work hard and make a name for myself in the future, so that those who look down on us will be a hit."

"Okay, OK, Shiro has this idea, he is better than his father."

That night, my worries were circulating, and I tossed and turned and never fell asleep.

Seeing this, Dawa gently patted his back with his hand and said slowly: "Silang will study tomorrow, he will have to rest early tonight, and he will have to get up early tomorrow."

"Sister, do you like your younger brother going to school?"

"Silang, why did you ask this? Of course my sister likes it. In the future, our Silang will be a scholar, and Silang will also study hard, do you know?"

As soon as the sky was dawn, Lingyun was dug out of the bed by the big kid.

Unlike the casualness in the past, Ling Dashan specially explained to him yesterday that Silang would get up early in the future, so when the time came, the big kid picked him up.

He is already five years old and has an adult mind, but the eldest child still treats him as a child, because he is small and not very heavy.

The big kid specially combed his hair today, grabbed a small leopard, and wore a piece of unpatched clothes.

After breakfast, grandma told him with great sincerity that she must call someone later and be polite.

My mother also told him to listen to his husband and not to talk back to him...

This scene was very similar to leaving home to go to college that year. Grandma held his hand and kept reminding her, leaving reluctantly...

It was very early, and my grandfather took him out.

Grandpa held his hand north across the bridge. After walking for three miles, he came to a mud brick house.

This was the only brick and tile house he saw in the village.

He walked up and looked up and saw a somewhat dilapidated plaque in front of the brick and tile house with four big words written on it: Li's Private School.

It is a good yard, at least a little more grand than Lingyun's family. After all, the yard wall is built with mud bricks, and the threshold is higher than his family.

After entering the door, I saw a tall and thin old man with gray hair and a gray-bearded man in a blue shabby long gown and coat waiting for them.

Seeing this old man, Ling Dashan hurried forward and shouted excitedly: "Brother Li, I've been waiting for a long time."

After saying that, he gently patted Ling Yun's back and signaled him to call him. Ling Yun realized that this person should be Li Chuan, the old boy in the village.

Ling Yun hurriedly learned to write in the TV series politely: "Hello sir."

Ling Yundi's actions shocked his grandfather Ling Dashan, and he was afraid of making a mistake, so he hurriedly explained.

"This kid doesn't understand the rules for the first time when he goes out, Brother Li Wanwang is concerned."

"Well? There are such rules when you go out for the first time. It's good, but it's a bit clever. But scholars are down-to-earth and don't take advantage of things."
