Chapter 274: All sent to school
"More than just knowing each other, the Jiang family cheated your uncle out of hundreds of taels of silver! Well, this is a long story, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment, so I won't tell you more. Anyway, don't worry about it. You are a child, just study hard in school, your father will take care of everything. Remember, admit your mistake to Bujiu, his grandfather was a juren!
Not to mention this town, he has a say in the entire Ruling Prefecture. In the past, no matter which county magistrate took office, the first thing he did was to visit Dong Shanchang. If he is not angry, let him scold you. If that doesn't work, let him beat him up. As for that Tongmu guy, Dad will vent your anger for you."
It was obvious that three people beat Deng Siyuan together, but Deng Jiliang only hated Jiang Tongmu.
This attitude of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was completely inherited by Deng Siyuan.
After he finished speaking to his son, he turned and walked out the door.
Walking towards his eldest brother's house.
I don't know what to plot.
The sunset is about to end.
The Jiang family’s ox cart will arrive home soon.
Jiang Fubao lay on his second brother's lap, sleeping soundly and even snoring a little.
Worried that she would sleep too long and couldn't fall asleep at night.
Zhang Yanzi woke her up.
Jiang Fubao rubbed his sleepy eyes and found that the scene before he closed his eyes had changed.
She actually slept all the way home.
"Are you hungry, Fubao? Grandma will cook for you soon." Zhang Jinlan looked at her lovingly.
"I'm not hungry. Grandma will cook it slowly." The shop was full of delicious food, and her mouth hadn't stopped eating all day, so how could she be hungry?
Get off the bullock cart.
Jiang Fubao took his second brother's hand and asked him to punish his older brothers and sisters.
Jiang Xiaofuzi is online.
The Jiang family’s children complained bitterly.
"Okay, stop making a fuss. Write out the words I gave you last time I came back. If anyone doesn't know how to write or writes them wrong, you will be slapped on the palm of your hand for each word!"
Jiang Tongba threatened them with a stern face.
At the same time, he waved his arms, and the branch in his hand cut through the air, making a "swish" sound.
Jiang Tongtu shrank his neck in fear, as if he was possessed by a little turtle.
Such a coward.
Jiang Fubao saw it all. She covered her mouth with her chubby little hands and laughed secretly.
The fifth brother is the dumbest in the family.
I’m afraid he can’t even remember ten words.
Tonight, Fifth Brother will sleep with his swollen little pig's trotter.
In the kitchen, the women of the Jiang family were busy as hell, and puffs of blue smoke were coming out of the chimney on the roof.
In the yard, there were the shouting and scolding of Mr. Jiang, the sound of children reading aloud, and the chuckles of Jiang Dahe chopping wood in the backyard.
The sound reaches my ears.
Jiang Fubao felt that her heart was very warm.
The whole family is gathered together.
It’s so lively.
very nice.
When night falls, frogs take over the cicadas' chirping and begin working the night shift.
Jiang Fubao was having a sweet dream at the foot of a quiet mountain. The window in her room was half open, but not a single mosquito flew in to bite her.
Just because her grandfather burned mosquito repellent grass in the yard, her body was covered with the juice of the mosquito repellent grass. Even the windows, bedside, walls, and beams were hung with mosquito repellent grass.
There is no time to hide from mosquitoes.
The white and plump little dough will get a small red bump if bitten by a mosquito.
I'm afraid the Jiang family must be heartbroken.
"Whoohoo-"
"Tell, tell, tell—"
"Hum hum--"
All kinds of snoring sounds came from the rooms on all sides.
A bit noisy in the quiet night.
The old hen sleeping in the chicken coop buried her head even deeper.
Time quickly came to the day of Jiang Zhuzi's wedding.
On this day, Jiang Tongmu also had to go back to school.
He got up early, packed his clothes, and rode his own ox cart to the town.
When we arrived at the shop, the two friends were already waiting outside the back door.
"Grandma, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Zhu, Uncle Eryong, Aunt Sun, Uncle Siyin..."
Kong Mingxue and Meng Bujiu were still as sweet-mouthed as ever, and they called everyone in the Jiang family.
Including Jiang Fubao, who relied on his father and refused to come down.
Zhang Jinlan hurriedly welcomed them in. When she heard that they had not had breakfast yet, she went to make two meat patties and served them with mung bean rice porridge for them to eat.
"Grandma, my grandfather said that I always eat and drink for free, which is really not good, so he ordered the servants to prepare a table of food at noon and let me take Tongmu and Mingxue to eat."
After eating, Meng Bujiu took the initiative to wash the dishes and suddenly remembered something.
He said to Zhang Jinlan.
"Your grandfather wants to invite Tongmu and Mingxue to dinner? Oh, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? No, there's nothing in the shop. Let me go to the street to buy some cakes. When we leave, I'll ask Tongmu to take them with me. I won't come empty-handed."
Zhang Jinlan stopped kneading the dough.
She took out her purse and wanted to go out.
But he was stopped by Meng Bujiu.
"No, we are going back to the school and we will stop by my house for dinner. My house is just behind the school. Don't bring anything. My grandfather doesn't like to receive gifts. It will make things awkward. But, Tongmu, I advise you to finish your homework quickly if you haven't finished it yet. My grandfather will definitely read it and maybe even test you."
Meng Bujiu looked at Jiang Tongmu with a wicked smile.
As for Kong Ming's studies, he did not persuade him. His grandfather said that he did not have the wisdom of a scholar and was lazy. It would be enough for him to know a few words. Anyway, the family was not short of money.
However, Uncle Kong believed that Mingxue could help him pass the imperial examination, so he forced him to go to school.
Now that I am fourteen years old, I am not even qualified to leave.
Hearing Meng Bujiu's words, everyone in the Jiang family widened their eyes.
This is the headmaster!
A distinguished scholar!
I actually want to look at Tongmu’s homework.
I still need to test him.
If we teach you a little bit, wouldn't our fellow students benefit a lot?
Jiang Fubao was also shocked.
The status of Meng Bujiu's grandfather is comparable to the president of a modern key university helping a first-grade primary school student with tutoring.
Who wouldn’t be excited?
Or the kind that doesn't cost money.
Therefore, Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu became even more enthusiastic.
Before they leave, feed them like crazy.
So much so that when the three of them left at early noon, their stomachs were full.
Not hungry at all.
"We are not short of money at home now. I plan to send all the children to school after the autumn harvest. I will feel relieved to have Tongmu taking care of them. As for Tongjin, he will be a father soon. When the child is born, if he wants to go to school, I will send him there too. If he doesn't want to go, that's fine. He can just let Tongmu teach him like us."
Zhang Jinlan closed the back door.
Suddenly made a decision.
Everyone agreed.
Including Jiang Fubao.
After all, her second brother only comes back once every ten days, and her brothers and sisters at home are not like her, and Xinzi is already an adult.
No matter how smart you are, if you study once every ten days, it will take a long time to learn all the characters.
It is better to send him to school. Even if he does not take the imperial examination in the future, it is good for him to be familiar with all the characters.
