The official road of the farmer

This shows how expensive it is to study.

When he went to school, he just wanted to learn a few words so that he wouldn't have to be a mud leg in the future, and he could go to the county to be a bookkeeper or something when he grew up.

I don't want Ye Junshu to be smart since he was a child, and he is quite talented in studying.Mr. loves talents and focuses on training. His father and mother heard from Mr. Ye Junshu that if he is talented and develops in the direction of imperial examinations, he will at least be able to pass the imperial examinations.

It's a pity that things don't go according to people's wishes, and he may live up to the high hopes of his father and mother.

Not to mention that he doesn't have the energy and time to study now, even if he does, he doesn't want to spend ten years studying and taking exams in the cold window to live in intrigue in the officialdom, he thinks it's good to be ordinary.

He will be about the same age when he raises five children and six children to start a family and start a business. At that time, it would be good to find a brother who is close to his eyes and make a bond, and spend his life with him.

As for the matter of Guangzong Yaozu, he can cultivate Xiaoshan, even if Xiaoshan can't, there are still five children, if not, he can cultivate the next generation, and there will always be one who can make the Ye family change their family status and become a family of farming and studying.

Having said that, after hearing Ye Junshu's answer, Ye Junzhi was extremely excited. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said incoherently, "Brother Zhou, what am I going to do now?"

Ye Junshu comforted him with a smile: "There is no need to do anything, Xiaoshan is just learning, so you should learn to read together first."

"it is good!"

Fortunately, the sand on the ground was large enough, and Ye Junshu let Xiaoshan and Xiaozhi write on one side, and they could communicate with each other.He first taught Xiaozhi to write what Xiaoshan was learning, and asked him to ask if he didn't understand, while Xiaoshan continued to practice.

I thought to myself that since the teaching is for the purpose of letting them take the imperial examination, then the teaching cannot be so casual.

Ye Junshu recalled his learning process and decided to formulate a teaching plan in combination with modern teaching models.

At this time, there was a shout at the door, Ye Junshu went out to have a look, and called out in surprise, "Uncle Rong?"

The person who came was Ye Yurong, the head of Ye Family Village.

Although they share the surname of Ye, their blood relationship with the village head's family has been three generations away, so the relationship is not very close. This is the first time the village head has visited after Father Ye's funeral.

Ye Junshu didn't know why Uncle Rong came to the door suddenly, but still respectfully welcomed the village chief into the house and sat down in the hall, "There is nothing to entertain at home, I hope Uncle Rong doesn't mind." He poured a glass of warm water for the village chief, apologetically Appropriate.

As the head of a village, Uncle Rong has a majestic aura, and he himself is a serious person. Generally, juniors are trembling in front of him.And Ye Junshu's neither humble nor overbearing attitude undoubtedly made the village chief's impression of him better.

It seems that the series of bad news at home didn't break Boy Zhou, on the contrary, it made him tougher. If he is given a chance, this boy's future will be extraordinary.

Whether a person is capable or not depends on whether he drifts with the tide or faces difficulties when he encounters difficulties. The village head had high hopes for this junior, but now he is not disappointed, and he has a little bit of help in his heart.So he said—

"Boy Zhou, what you Ping Bomu and the others told you two days ago..."

"Uncle Rong!" Ye Junshu's face changed slightly. Did he bring up the matter of giving away five babies and six babies again? !Just as he was about to show his determination, the village head laughed and said, "I know what you mean, don't worry, Uncle Rong hasn't finished talking yet."

Ye Junshu smiled embarrassedly, he thought the village head was here to persuade him too!He appreciated the kindness of the elders, but he couldn't follow through.

The village chief sipped his warm water and said unhurriedly: "Since you have decided to raise five children and six children, no matter how many difficulties you encounter in the future, no matter how difficult the life is, you must persevere. You can't give up halfway. There is nothing you can't bear." In the past, after the most difficult time, it will be easier in the future.

The harvest in the village is not good this year, and the life of every family is not easy. There is not much that can help you, and you have to rely more on yourself. "

Ye Junshu said sincerely: "Uncle Rong, the boy knows how to do it."

The village head took out a dusty money bag from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Junshu, "This is the monthly salary that Wu boy just got back yesterday, we don't have much money at home with old arms and legs, so I'll lend it to you for emergency, no need Pay it back in a hurry, it won’t be too late when you have the ability in the future.”

What the village chief said was not for him to refuse at all. If it was simply money, he could still refuse it, but Ye Junshu really didn't want to refuse it in the name of a loan. He was indeed short of money.

Ye Junshu had no choice but to accept it, and promised: "When I can make money, I will definitely return it to you."

The village chief nodded, not worried at all about getting back the loan in the future, and was more satisfied with Ye Junshu who was able to bend and stretch.Although he is not a scholar, he scoffs at the so-called arrogance of a scholar who refuses to accept other people's kindness even if he starves to death. Isn't a person alive for a ration?People are going to be hungry, so what kind of character is there?Fortunately, Zhou Boy is not so pedantic.

"Are you in the yard just now, were you teaching Xiaoshan and Xiaozhi how to read?" the village head asked suddenly.

"Yes, the boy has nothing to do at home, and he can't leave. It just so happened that Xiaoshan also came to the time when he should be enlightened, so he taught him for a while."

The village chief didn't speak for a while, looking thoughtful.

Ye Junshu was puzzled. He didn't know what the village head meant by asking about this. Did he have any problems teaching his younger brother to read?etc!Ye Junshu suddenly thought of a possibility, this, can't it?He thought uncertainly.

"Boy Zhou, if you were asked to teach the children in the village how to read, would you be willing?"

really!Ye Junshu hesitated and said, "But... Uncle Rong, I'm just a boy, I don't even have any fame, how can I afford to educate my children, besides, I'm still young and inexperienced."

The village chief said, "They don't need to test their merits, they just need to be able to read, so as not to be deceived by others outside, Boy Zhou, Uncle Rong knows that it is inconvenient for you to go out to the county to buy necessities, how about this, I will tell the villagers, Every household that is willing to send their children to learn calligraphy with you will give you something, whether rice, flour or cloth, as long as it can be used.

When Ye Junshu heard this, he was very willing in his heart, but he still had concerns, "Uncle Rong, you also know that I am a filial son, so uncles and uncles won't mind?"

His family is observing filial piety, and during this period, in principle, they are not allowed to enter other people's homes to avoid bad luck.Even now, few people come to his house, so Ming'am and Xiao Zhi are not shy, and often go to his house, but if it is another family, will they let the children come to the door?

"It's not a big deal. Your father and mother are also from Yejia Village. Don't worry about collisions. People who don't mind will always send their children here."

"I'm relieved when you say that, Uncle Rong, I don't mind if you think highly of me and want me to teach, but Uncle Rong, do you want to say hello first?"

The village head said confidently, "Someone will definitely be willing to send their children here. But what preparations do you need here?"

"There are still a lot of things to prepare. I can prepare charcoal pencils and sand tables, but I can't do anything about tables, chairs and stools." There are not many tables and stools in his house.

"Besides, Lu Ge'er's wind and cold are not completely recovered. I'm afraid there will be accidents at that time. Why don't you wait for Lu Ge'er to fully recover after the class starts!" Children in ancient times have not been vaccinated, and their resistance is weak. Once infected, it is his sin.

The village head agreed straight away, "No problem, I will help prepare the ones that you don't have at home, and it will take some time when everything is ready."

So the matter was settled like this, and the two discussed some details, and the village chief walked away with a satisfied expression and hands behind his back.

Ye Junshu was also very satisfied. The idea of ​​the village chief solved many of his problems. For a period of time, he no longer had to worry about eating, and Xiao Shan and Lu Geer would not be unfamiliar with the children in the village.

He was worried that after their family finished keeping their filial piety, they would be out of tune with the village!It is not suitable for them to go out often because of their filial piety. If he is not forced to, he will not go up the mountain.

The reason why Ye Junshu can't do anything now is that apart from the fact that the milk baby at home needs to be taken care of all the time, it is because of filial piety. It would be unlucky for a person to avoid three steps away and bump into it, let alone other things. If he dares to enter the store, he will be swept out by the clerk with a broom.

If the children all come to practice calligraphy with him, he doesn't have to worry about Xiao Shan and the others having no playmates!

What a blessing!

Ye Junshu is extremely looking forward to the success of the school.

"Brother, do you want to open a school to teach?" Brother Lu suddenly came out, stood in front of Ye Junshu and raised his head and asked, obviously just overheard the conversation between Ye Junshu and the village chief.

Ye Junshu smiled and said with a relaxed expression, "Yes!" He felt that with the village chief around, the school had a great chance of success.He really wanted to plant flowers and the flowers would not bloom, but he had no intention of planting willows and willows to make shade. He only wanted to find a way out, but he didn't expect to be able to solve it by teaching. Sure enough, people still need to be knowledgeable.

"Then, will that disturb your imperial examination?" Lu Geer asked anxiously.

Ye Junshu patted Brother Lu's head, "Brother won't take the imperial examination anymore, and brother has more important things to do."

Lu Geer suddenly looked like he was about to cry, "Is it because of us?"

"How could it be?" Ye Junshu didn't know why Brother Lu was so preoccupied at such a young age, so he hurriedly told him not to think too much, "Brother Lu, even if my father and mother are still here, my eldest brother will not take the imperial examination, and my eldest brother has to bear the burden." Take up the responsibility of the eldest son, and, elder brother is glad to have you here, so don't think about it."

"But, big brother is so powerful..."

"Silly boy, there are many people out there who are better than elder brother. Even if elder brother takes the imperial examination, he may not be able to pass."

"Brother will definitely pass the exam!" Brother Lu clenched his fists and shouted firmly.

Ye Junshu couldn't stop laughing, "Okay, okay, in Brother Lu's heart, Big Brother must be the most powerful."

"Brother!" Brother Lu was annoyed, "I'm serious!"

"Yes! But Brother Lu, while teaching them how to read, Big Brother is also in the process of reviewing, so it doesn't matter."

Brother Lu thought about it in confusion, and felt that the eldest brother didn't seem to be perfunctory to him. He felt that it seemed quite reasonable, so he reconfirmed: "It really won't affect the eldest brother's study?"

"Really." Ye Junshu promised solemnly.

"Alright then." Lu Geer no longer objected.

Ye Junshu rubbed Lu Ge'er's head and didn't speak any more.
