When Ding Sheng heard his mother say that she wanted to send him to school, he was stunned for a moment. Not only was he dumbfounded, but his father Ding Pingshun was also stunned. Is studying something that a family like theirs can dream of?

Until Chang urged the father and son, "Hurry up, what are you two doing? Hurry up and change your clothes and wash your faces. Move quickly, the fourth brother and the others are waiting at home!"

The father and son finally woke up from their dream, and were in a panic. They changed their clothes and bumped their heads against each other several times. It felt like their feet were stepping on clouds, so unreal.

Oh, God, thank you, old man! Ding Pingshun kept kowtowed to God in his heart to express his gratitude. Not to mention his family, the entire Ding family has only produced a scholar like Ding Youtian in the past few decades.

He couldn't even pass the exam to become a student.

Yet, even with only a few years of education, he managed to partner with Liu the Blind Man to make wine. Didn't he make a fortune? This shows the value of studying. No wonder people say that all other pursuits are inferior, only studying is superior.

In the past, when Ding Pingshun was not ill, he occasionally went to the town to sell grain. Whenever he heard some scholars say this, he would just listen to it. He never thought that his family would have a scholar one day.

"Okay, reading is good. It's great to be able to read!"

"Of course not."

Seeing him happy, Chang was also happy. This thought suddenly came to her today. On the way back, she was still thinking, everything is fate! That day, Meng bullied the Ma family. She rarely joined in the fun, and even when she did, she rarely said a word.

I don't know what happened that day, but I passed by the Ma family and heard a commotion inside, so I walked in. I saw Tian, ​​such a strong person, but because her husband had fallen, those people started to criticize her. Thinking of her own sick man, she felt indignant for a moment and couldn't help but speak a few fair words.

She hadn't expected Tian to be so gracious to her, and she hadn't expected Jian Ning and Ding Youtian to be so capable. Jian Ning had not only cured her husband's illness, but also offered her such a high salary every day. It was something she hadn't even dreamed of. She must have accumulated good deeds in her past life to have found such a benefactor in this life.

She just wanted to help someone, but ended up helping herself.

"Mother of Sheng'er, is it okay for me to wear this to school?" Ding Pingshun looked at his son and then at himself. Both father and son were wearing clothes newly made by Chang, but they were all in the style of farmers' homes.

Both father and son looked a little uneasy.

Chang lowered her head to wipe away the tears that welled up in her eyes, and tugged at the hem of the father and son's clothes. She said happily, "Why not? Ding Gui and Ding Quan also wore this to school. Some of the students in town also dressed like this. I saw it a lot when I was selling vegetables in town."

Holding Ding Sheng's hand, Chang said, "Sheng'er, I don't expect you to become famous. I just think your fourth uncle and aunt are both capable people. Since they sent Dabao to school, it's right for him to follow them. You are the older brother, so you should take good care of your younger brother Dabao in school and pay more attention to him in everything. Understand? We should always repay kindness, remember?"

"Mom, I'll remember this."

"Okay, Mom will ask your dad to buy you a piece of cloth, and then Mom will make you a long gown tonight."

Ding Sheng's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "It's a waste of money, so I'd better not do it. This outfit looks good on me."

"We can afford one or two now, all thanks to your uncle and aunt." Chang opened the box and took out the copper coins. She also took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Ding Sheng. "Mother saw that your aunt prepared a school bag for Dabao. I will make you one tonight. Use this cloth to wrap paper, pen and books for now. That's it."

When Chang and the others arrived at Jian Ning's place, they saw that the three Ma brothers were also dressed neatly. Originally, they wanted to wait for Ma Fuquan to come back before taking them to school, but when Ma Xiaomai heard that Ding Sheng was going, he ran back and told Tian that he would just take his two younger brothers and Uncle Ding to go together.

Jian Ning originally planned to take Da Niu and a few others to send Dabao to school, but when she saw that there were so many people that going to school would be like going to a market, she gave up the idea and let Ding Youtian take them instead.

Ding Youtian and Ding Pingshun had just arrived at the village entrance with their five children when the village chief came driving a ox cart. When he heard that they were sending the kids to study in town, he grinned. He said it was great that there were five more kids studying in the village, and asked them all to get on the cart. He said it was a coincidence, as he had just washed the cart last night and it was spotless, so he told them to sit there without worry.

Just as they got into the car, Gao happened to be sending Ding Gui and Ding Quan to the village entrance. Usually, it was Meng who sent the two brothers to the village entrance. Yesterday, Meng was beaten and her whole body was sore, and she couldn't get out of bed.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that there was a ride, Gao pulled the two brothers over quickly. The two brothers sat in the car without saying hello to Ding Youtian. Their eyes were fixed on Dabao's new long gown and the schoolbag he was carrying.

Gao also saw Dabao's schoolbag. Was she sending a fool to school? She looked at Dabao a few times, but Dabao didn't look away. His father had written a letter of severance, and he had no relationship with the people there. Besides, he didn't have a good impression of Gao.

Humph, a fool is a fool, he doesn’t even know how to call a human.

Gao deliberately poked Ding Gui and Ding Quan on the forehead, "Call me Fourth Uncle, why don't you call me someone else?"

"Don't." Ding Youtian said, "If you want to call me Uncle Ding, I won't be worthy of being Fourth Uncle."

Ding Gui pouted, "Only a ghost would want to call you."

Ding Quan also snorted, "Yes, we don't want to call you."

Ma Xiaomai glared at them and shook his fist, which scared them so much that they shrank their necks and dared not say a word.

Gao rolled her eyes at Ma Xiaomai, Ding Youtian and Dabao, and after saying "You are so shameless", she threw away her handkerchief and walked away with her head held high.

As soon as Gao arrived home, she rushed to Meng's room and asked, "Mom, guess who I just ran into?"
