Chapter 31: Studying Cannot Be Left Behind

"Su Ying, Su He, where have you been?" Old Mrs. Su waited for a long time, but only the honest Su Lu stayed by her side as usual.

The old lady's scolding interrupted the laughter of Su Ying's family.

"Aying, go!" Mrs. Du pushed her eldest daughter.

The mother-in-law is not an easy person to deal with either. If there is no one to watch over her, the old lady will make a fuss and no one can rest.

"Mom, what about you?" Su Ying was worried.

"I'm fine. Besides, your father is here, so what could happen? Go!" Mrs. Du smiled.

"Okay then! You should rest early!" Su Ying untied the straps and put them away.

"Su He, come out!" Since neither of them is easy to deal with, Su Ying will naturally not let Su He have an easy time.

"Ah, ah!" Su He cursed angrily, but his mouth and throat were burned and he couldn't curse out loud.

"Come out!" Su Ying knocked on her second uncle's door.

She didn't care! It didn't matter whether she could come out or not, as long as she could cause trouble for Xiao Qinshi and Su He.

"Su Ying, don't go too far. He'er is injured. How can you be so cruel?" Xiao Qin scolded.

"Your mouth is burned. Are your hands and feet broken too? Or do you think grandma is too old and don't want to serve her?" Su Ying said disgustingly on purpose.

"You! Su Ying, you are such a black-hearted person with such a vicious heart!" Xiao Qin cursed angrily.

"What are you doing? Why are you making so much noise?" Xiao Qin was about to rush out to teach Su Ying a lesson, but Su Lao Er held her back. "He'er, go quickly!"

"You coward, you only know how to stick your elbows outward!" Xiao Qin was imprisoned and unable to move, so she could only scold her man.

"Second Aunt, what else can you do besides scolding my second uncle and beating my mother? You are the coward. You are nothing but a bully in your own family!" Su Ying finished scolding and left.

"Ah! Su Ying, you bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Qin screamed in anger.

Su Ying scratched her ears and went into the house of Mrs. Su next door. If it weren't for the pressing situation, she really wanted to split up the family right now! It was just that her second uncle and three cousins ​​were pitiful and innocently caught in the crossfire.

"Neither of them is a good person! They are not the province..." Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but yell at Su Ying and Xiao Qin when she heard them quarreling.

"Go to sleep! If you keep scolding me, no one will come to accompany you tomorrow!" Su Ying came in and interrupted Old Lady Su coldly.

"Aolu, go to sleep! Don't be afraid!" Su Ying embraced her cousin and patted her gently.

"Aying, I'm not afraid!" Su Lu's body was stiff, and she tried hard to pretend to be strong.

It's still less troublesome to live with Uncle San's family. A Lu should just give half to Su He. Su Ying thought so and her eyelids soon drooped.

The two sisters fell asleep in each other's arms. They were tired after a whole day and had been making a lot of noise. They were really sleepy.

Old Mrs. Su listened to the soft snoring of her two granddaughters and sulked alone. No one paid any attention to her and she could only stare blankly at the moonlight outside the window.

A lifetime of striving, a lifetime of toil, only to be buried up to the neck in the dirt, with nothing left, and still be despised! Anyone can order you around, what a miserable life!

Sigh, close your eyes, don't think about the troubles, close your eyes and open them again, another day has passed, just endure it, it's better to live a miserable life than to die!

I fell asleep in a daze, and when I opened my eyes, it was bright outside and the air was filled with the aroma of porridge.

Old Mrs. Su wondered why she slept so soundly at her age. After thinking for a long time, she realized that the beast had not come to make trouble last night.

Su Bucheng and his son got up and tied their leggings and cuffs, looking refreshed.

"Brother, brother?" The second and third Su brothers were busy working. When they looked up and saw Su Bucheng's new look, they were a little hesitant to recognize him.

"Well, good morning!" Su Bucheng nodded with a smile.

"Brother, why did you think of dressing like this?" Su Lao San looked curiously and circled around Su Bucheng and Su Boyan.

"What Ah Ying thought of, to prevent insects and snakes! How about it?" Su Bucheng straightened his chest, and out of nowhere, he looked more heroic.

"Brother looks much more energetic!" Su Lao San praised.

"Brother, take a look at this spear and see if it is handy?" Su Laoer handed Su Bucheng a sharp bamboo spear, which was perfect for this outfit.

Mature bamboo, the material is hard and thick.

Su Bucheng took the bamboo spear in his hand, weighed it, waved it a few times, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad!"

It can be used as a crutch when walking, and for self-defense when encountering wild animals. It’s pretty good.

"Uncle, where is mine?" Su Ying also came out with leggings on and saw the beautiful bamboo spear in her father's hand.

The two uncles got up early and used kitchen knives and machetes to carve three bamboo spears.

"Yes, yes!" Su Laoer handed Su Ying a slightly smaller one.

Su Ying took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. The spear head was sharp. Although it was not as sharp as an iron blade, if it pierced her body, it would not only chill her to the bone, but would also be enough to make her suffer a heavy blow.

The bamboo pole is thick enough to fit your hand and has just the right weight. Regardless of whether it can catch wild animals, it is certainly good for self-defense.

"It would be even more beautiful if I tied a red tassel on it!" Su Ying gestured a few times and felt that it lacked the majestic aura without the red tassel.

"Wow! Uncle, you guys are dressed so uniquely today!"

Su Zhaoyan and Su Bangyan were stunned when they saw their uncle and Su Ying, who looked brand new and holding beautiful bamboo spears in their hands.

"Yeah, I want one too!" Su Zhaoyan begged Su Laoer with greedy eyes.

"Okay, okay! I'll make it for you when I'm free!" Su Laoer said good-temperedly.

"Yeah, I want one too!" Seeing this, Su Bangyan also acted coquettishly to his father.

"You are so old, and you still want to play. It will be busy in a few days, go to the fields to work!" Su Laosan looked at his nine-year-old son and became worried.

My youngest son has only been in school for two years. At this age, he doesn’t have the energy to work, and playing is not a thing for him. Is he going to waste his time like this in the future?

After seeing Su Boyan giving Hu Zi books last night, Su Lao San realized that the education of his youngest son had to be resolved as soon as possible.

The older nephews and nieces in the family have read a lot of books and are also strong enough to work in the fields.

What should be done with seven-year-old Su Zhaoyan, nine-year-old Su Bingyan, and five-year-old Su Tao? Should they just be left alone and become illiterate?

"Father?" Su Bangyan was stunned, not understanding why his father, who had always been obedient to him, suddenly became strict.

"Bingyan, you're not a kid anymore, you should be sensible!" Su Laosan touched his youngest son's head, "You can't just think about playing."

"Oh!" Su Bangyan was disappointed and hung his head unhappily.

"What's the matter? You scolded Bingyan early in the morning just for a bamboo spear?" Su Bucheng saw that his third brother was worried.

"Brother, the children's education cannot be neglected, especially Zhaoyan, Bingyan, and Xiaotao. The poorer we are, the more we cannot let them be blind. Otherwise, our descendants will be stuck in the quagmire forever!"

“How can we afford to neglect this? Even if we can’t afford to eat, we can’t neglect our children’s education.

After the busy farming season, the older ones take turns teaching the younger ones, making full use of their own resources so that the older ones don’t forget their lessons. They can review their lessons and teach the younger ones at the same time.”

Su Bucheng patted his third brother.

"I feel relieved that my eldest brother has made a success of his plan!" Su Lao San looked worried when he heard that.

"It's time for dinner!" Wei distributed the porridge, but there were two bowls missing, so he used bamboo tubes instead.

Everyone took their bowls away. Xiao Qinshi and Su He slept in and came out last, leaving only the bamboo tube bowl.

"Hey, where is my bowl? Who took my bowl?" Xiao Qin shouted.

Everyone looked at her, but no one paid any attention.
