Mrs. Zhan half-squinted her eyes and said nothing. Privately, she planned to let the second son of the third bedroom go to private school. After all, the second bedroom already had an elder son, so it was the turn of the third family, and Mrs. Zhan loved her youngest son the most.
But at the same time, she also loves her eldest grandson. Zhan Dalang has been coaxing Mrs. Zhan a lot during this time. In addition, the second daughter-in-law is the niece of her mother's family. Mrs. Zhan also hesitated, but she nodded in agreement.
.
Little Yao was overjoyed, his eyes flashed, and he glanced at his elder brother and sister-in-law who showed no interest. Out of the corner of his eye, he fixed on Zhan Feiyu sitting on a small stool, and continued with a smile: "Mom and dad, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Since
To compare, why not let Xiaoyu join in? Xiaoyu is smart at first glance. If he becomes literate in the future, he might be able to marry into the county."
Uh... Boss Zhan was startled, and Mrs. Li was also surprised. Looking at Mr. Yao showing his kindness, she felt a little more comfortable.
Although the eldest family has no son, the two people who contribute the most in the Zhan family will make the family remember their good deeds and they will be happy no matter what.
Suddenly clenching his fleshy little fists, Zhan Feiyu raised his head, with a confused and surprised look on his face, as if he didn't understand that the matter of entering a private school was related to him, and said blankly: "If I win, I will go to a private school?
"
Although Old Man Zhan and Old Mrs. Zhan were partial to their grandson, they also loved their eldest granddaughter Zhan Feiyu. They were used to seeing her smart and smart appearance, but now they would see her sitting on a small stool with her head raised, her big and plump black face
His eyes were as round as a cat's, and his silly and cute look made everyone in the Zhan family in the hall laugh.
Zhan Laosan laughed loudly, raised his hand and flicked Zhan Feiyu's forehead, picked him up and lifted him up, "Yes, if Xiaoyu wins, I will send you to a private school!"
Zhan Feiyu appears to be clever and clever among children of the same age, but she is a little girl after all. She can learn needlework and then learn a few dishes from old man Zhan in the kitchen. When she is fourteen or fifteen, she will get engaged and get married in two years. This is gold.
A path that all the little girls in Lincun will follow.
Go to a private school to study? The twenty or thirty families in the village who are richer than the Zhan family don't send their girls to study. This is just saying it, just for fun.
The competition was decided, and it lasted for ten days. Erlang, Sanlang and Zhan Feiyu had better memories than anyone else.
Zhan Dalang spent half an hour every day teaching three people to recite the "Three Character Classic". After ten days, whoever can recite the most and most fluently will win.
At night, the cicadas stopped chirping, the heat of the day also dissipated, and every household turned off their oil lamps.
Zhan's three-bedroom apartment.
Ma, who couldn't sleep in bed, turned over, pushed Zhan Laosan's back, and muttered and complained: "What do you think the second sister-in-law is planning? Xiaoyu is smart. If even Xiaoyu can memorize this, is it possible?
If you really let a girl go to a private school, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"
Zhan Laosan was pushed awake as soon as he fell asleep. He moved out of the bed angrily and said vaguely, "Why do you care so much? Whoever wins gets to go."
"You!" Mr. Ma stared angrily, but then he thought about it and became happy again. His second son is much better than his third son. Even if Xiaoyu goes to a private school, it will be better than letting his second wife be proud!
Madam Ma relaxed her mind, closed her eyes for half a moment and then fell asleep.
The second room of the Zhan family is also a three-room house. There is another wooden room built in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree against the wall. This is Dalang's study.
After cutting the wick, the light in the study became a little brighter. Xiao Yao once again warned Da Lang who put down the book: "Starting tomorrow, remember to secretly teach San Lang to memorize it a few more times."
"Mom, I'm not stupid." Dalang looked impatiently at his mother who had told her five times that Erlang was his cousin and Sanlang was his biological brother. Zhan Dalang knew how to help his younger brother even if he had no brains.
Little Mrs. Yao pursed her lips and smiled, with a proud look on her face, "Okay, I won't disturb you from studying."
After returning to the bedroom, she saw Zhan Laoer sitting on the bed shaking a fan. The smile on Xiao Yao's face became even wider, and he said in a sultry voice, "The idea I thought of today is good, isn't it? Wait for me at home.
If Sanlang wins, the third wife can't talk about it anymore."
Little Yao sat closely on the edge of the bed next to Zhan's second son, imagining that both of his sons would go to school, and if they got the exams in the future, they would be the old ladies of the official family. Not to mention the Zhan family, the entire village would have to rely on their sons to support them.
.
"Sanlang has a smart mind, but he is wild and playful. After entering school, I asked Mr. Lin to discipline him more." Little Yao paused for a moment, then looked at Zhan Laoer and said in confusion, "Why did you let Xiaoyu get involved?
Come in with me? That girl is so seductive."
His two sons must have good looks and good brains, and they are destined to be officials. However, no matter how complacent the little Yao family is on weekdays, she still knows that Zhan Feiyu, the eldest niece, is not stupid, but she is unwilling to admit that a girl is strong in movies.
than his own son.
Zhan Lao Er half-squinted his eyes, and the old man said in a serious tone: "Er Lang and San Lang are both the eldest brother's nephews, but don't forget that my eldest sister-in-law's surname is Li, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law support the family. There is a difference between unwillingness and willingness."
"That's true. My sister-in-law seems to be kind, but she is very shrewd." Little Yao curled his lips dissatisfied.
Among the three daughters-in-law of the Zhan family, Li is definitely the best in terms of reputation. She has a kind temper, a kind heart, and is quick and capable. Her failure is because she failed to live up to expectations and did not give birth to a son. Otherwise, the admission quota will definitely go to the big house.
.
Zhan Laoer laughed shrewdly, looked at his sullen wife and explained unhurriedly: "As long as the eldest brother faces home."
The eldest brother has a stubborn temper and needs to be smoothed over, but no matter how good the relationship between brothers is on weekdays, it is not as good as the relationship between husband and wife. The second brother Zhan also saw some signs, so the little Yao family mentioned the competition because of the peach, and the second brother Zhan carefully
As soon as I thought about it, I added Zhan Feiyu, my niece, to the list.
The eldest sister-in-law feels at ease. With this premise, the eldest brother will work hard and support his nephew's education in the future. Even if the eldest sister-in-law blows a pillow, Zhan Laoer will not be afraid.
Besides, there is no need for parents to be embarrassed. If a bowl of water is balanced, all three sons will be treated fairly, and there will be no preference for anyone.
As for which room took advantage and benefited privately, Zhan Laoer's shining eyes showed a bit of greed and complacency, that was a matter of personal ability.
Not forgetting everything, Zhan Laoer put down the cattail leaf fan and lay down. He warned little Yao with worry, "Start tomorrow and keep an eye on Sanlang more. Erlang has a calm temperament, but he is much more patient than Sanlang."
"Okay, I know, I asked Da Lang to teach me secretly, and San Lang will definitely win." Little Yao couldn't hold back the smile on his face. He wished that ten days would fly by. No matter how smart or calm Er Lang was, it wouldn't matter.
After all, he is an eight-year-old child, and he will never win without any guidance!
At midnight, the entire Jinlin Village fell into silence. Zhan Feiyu climbed up from the bed. Yesterday, she deliberately staged a peach-eating competition because she was sure that with the shrewd calculations of her second uncle and second aunt, they would definitely be touched.
Take action.
The wooden door made a creaking sound. Fortunately, my parents had fallen asleep after a day of farm work. Zhan Feiyu sneaked out of the door. The big yellow dog in the yard wagged its tail and lay down on the ground docilely.
Zhan Dalang had already gone back to his room to sleep, and the small study was not locked. After Zhan Feiyu sneaked in, he picked up the Enlightenment "Three Character Classic" from the handwritten manuscript on the table by the moonlight, and then took "Young Xue Qiong" from the simple bookshelf.
"Lin", walking out of the Zhan family courtyard with short legs.
The big yellow dog also followed immediately, and one person and one dog walked towards the woods behind the village.
There is an upright rock on the slope on the right side of the forest. The rock is huge and like a barrier. It not only blocks the Zhanfei fish nesting behind it, but also blocks the light of the candle.
Zhan Feiyu lit the candle he brought out and placed it in the groove under the rock. He opened the "Three Character Classic" and read it quickly through the moonlight and candlelight.
