Chapter 274: All sent to school
"It's more than just acquaintance. The Jiang family cheated your uncle out of hundreds of taels of silver! Well, this is a long story. I can't explain it clearly at once, 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, apologize to Bujiu. His grandfather is a traitor!
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 Shanzhang. If he is not angry, you can let him scold you. If that doesn't work, let him beat you up. As for that guy called Tongmu, 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 passed down to Deng Siyuan.
After he finished speaking to his son, he turned and walked out.
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 sleeps too long and can't fall asleep at night.
Zhang Yanzi woke her up.
Jiang Fubao rubbed his sleepy eyes and found that the scene in front of his eyes had changed.
She actually slept all the way home.
"Are you hungry, Fubao? Grandma will cook in a while." Zhang Jinlan looked at her lovingly.
"I'm not hungry. Grandma will cook it slowly." The shop was full of delicious food. Her mouth had been full all day long, 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 a lot.
"Okay, stop making noise. Write out the words I gave you last time. 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 branches in his hands cut through the air, making a "swish" sound.
Jiang Tongtu shrank his neck in fear, as if he was possessed by a little turtle.
Very frightening.
Jiang Fubao saw it all. She covered her mouth with her chubby little hands and smiled stealthily.
The fifth brother is the dumbest in the family.
I’m afraid he can’t even remember ten words.
Tonight, Fifth Brother has to sleep with his swollen little pig's hoof.
In the kitchen, the women of the Jiang family were busy as hell, and puffs of green smoke were coming out of the chimney on the roof.
In the yard, there were the sounds of Mr. Jiang scolding, the sound of children reading aloud, and the sound of Jiang Dahe chopping wood in the backyard.
The sound is pleasant to the ears.
Jiang Fubao felt very warm in her heart.
The whole family was gathered together.
It's so lively.
very nice.
When night falls, frogs take over from cicadas and start working the late night shift.
Jiang Fubao had a sweet dream at the foot of the quiet mountain. The window in her room was half open, but not a single mosquito flew in to bite her.
Just because grandpa burned mosquito repellent in the yard, her body was smeared with the juice of mosquito repellent. Even mosquito repellent was hung on the windows, bedside, walls, and beams.
The mosquitoes don't even have time to hide.
The white and plump little dough will give you a small red envelope if bitten by a mosquito.
I'm afraid the Jiang family must be heartbroken.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
"Tell, tell, tell—"
“Hehehe——”
All kinds of clamoring sounds came from the houses 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 so sweet-talkers, they called everyone in the Jiang family.
Including Jiang Fubao, who relied on his father and refused to get down.
Zhang Jinlan hurriedly welcomed them in. When she heard that they had not had breakfast yet, she went to make two meat pie 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 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? Hey, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier? No, there's nothing in the shop. So, I'll go to the street to buy some cakes. When we leave, I'll ask Tongmu to take them. I don't want to come empty-handed."
Zhang Jinlan stopped kneading the dough.
She took out her wallet 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 behind the school. Please don't bring anything. My grandfather doesn't like to receive gifts. It will make things awkward. But, I would advise you to finish your homework 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 teachings, he did not try. His grandfather said that he did not have the intelligence of a scholar and was lazy. It would be enough for him to learn a few words. Anyway, his family was not short of money.
However, Uncle Kong believed that Mingxue could help him pass the imperial examination and he forced him to go to school.
Now that I'm fourteen, I don't even have the qualifications to leave.
Hearing Meng Bujiu's words, everyone in the Jiang family widened their eyes.
This is the headmaster!
A dignified man!
I actually want to look at Tongmu’s homework.
I still need to test him.
If we learn a little bit, wouldn't we benefit a lot?
Jiang Fubao was also shocked.
The status of Meng Bujiu's grandfather is comparable to that of a principal of a modern key university giving tutoring to a first-grade student in elementary school.
Who wouldn't be excited?
It’s still free.
Therefore, Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu became even more enthusiastic.
While they are still here, feed them like crazy.
So much so that when the three of them left at the beginning of 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 take care of them. As for Tongjin, he will be a father soon. If he wants to go to school after the child is born, I will send him there. If he doesn't want to go, it's okay. He can just let Tongmu teach him like us."
Zhang Jinlan closed the back door.
Make a sudden 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 still 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.
