Chapter 401 Ancient Village Old Lady 26
Mr. Sun didn't want to take the exam again.
"Thank you for your appreciation, clan leader and village head. I know my talent for studying, but this is as far as I can go. Taking more exams would be a waste of time.
There are many children in the village who are studying now. If they have any questions, they can come to me and I will do my best to answer them. "
The clan leader felt that it would be a shame not to try for the Jinshi degree since he had already passed the imperial examination, but considering Sun Juren's age, he could understand it.
"Since you don't want to continue studying, I wonder if you have any plans for the future.
From what you said, you will continue to live in the village.
You can consider opening a school in the village. There are many children studying now. As for enrolling students, the children in our village can basically support a school.
The children can study nearby, and the family can feel more at ease.
Or the clan could pay to build a clan school and hire Mr. Sun.
Do you have any desire in this regard?"
Mr. Sun really had no intention of leaving the village. Although he was now a juren and would be treated with courtesy in the county, life in the city might not be as good as in Liuhe Village.
"Chief, I don't plan to leave the village. I'm not young anymore, and I still want to stay here and take care of my parents.
As for the clan school matters, I'll have to trouble the clan leader and the village head to take care of them.
Wenyuan will definitely live up to your trust."
What he meant was that he didn't plan to open a college himself, but agreed to let the clan run a clan school, and he would come to teach.
Come to think of it, even if he opened a school, the students would be children from Liuhe Village.
However, Mr. Sun's children had no talent for studying, and even though he opened a school, he had no heirs.
The children are now learning the skills in the village.
If there are descendants who are good at studying in the future, it will not be too late to develop further.
Even though the clan school was settled, it was a big event that a scholar had emerged in the village, and the whole village would inevitably celebrate.
There aren't many elaborate celebrations in the village. We just have a good meal together and the whole village has a good time.
Just when the whole village was busy, the families of Wan Gui and Wan Xi returned to the village.
Looking at the new houses in the village, if the two families had not lived here since childhood, they would have thought they had come to the wrong place.
Looking at the lively atmosphere in the village, they just thought that someone in the village was having a wedding.
Wan Xi rolled his eyes and spoke first.
"Brother, this looks like someone's wedding.
How about you go and ask around, I'll take the kids back first, and when you're done, come back to me and we can go together and give the gift."
Wan Xi actually didn't know whether other villagers also had opinions about him, so he wanted to ask Wangui to test the waters first.
Wan Gui is not stupid either. "Let's go back and see our mother first. There is a happy event in the village, and our mother will definitely know whose family it is."
Wan Gui was not fooled, and Wan Xi did not take it seriously. The ox cart continued to pull the two families towards the Wan family's old house.
When they met villagers on the road, the two brothers greeted them enthusiastically and the villagers did not ignore them.
"Oh, it's Wan Gui and Wan Xi who are back. They haven't been back for several years."
"Yes, Uncle Jiu, I found a job in town in the past few years, so it's not easy to ask for leave to come back often."
The man called Uncle Jiu curled his lips. The town was not far from the village.
If you want to, you can come back at night and have a look, then go back to work in the morning. If you don't want to go back, just say you don't want to go back. There's no need to make excuses.
"Then you guys hurry home. I'm going to help out in the drying yard."
Wan Xi asked, "Uncle Jiu, who's having a wedding in the village today? The village is so lively."
Uncle Jiu: "You are talking about this. Mr. Sun has passed the imperial examination. This is a big happy event in the village. The whole village is celebrating together.
I'll go over first, you guys go home quickly."
This was the case with the villagers that Wan Gui and Wan Xi met on the road. They left without saying a few words to them, and the two brothers felt even more upset.
Until they returned to the Wan family's old house and found the door locked, the two brothers didn't think much about it and thought that their mother must have gone out to help.
After finding the key under the big rock at the door, they opened the door and returned to their respective rooms. The two brothers decided to go to the drying yard to help.
To ease the relationship with the villagers, and at the same time to inquire about the business that can make money in the village and see if I can join in.
The wife and children I brought back have been living in the town for the past few years. They consider themselves city people and are unwilling to go out, so they just stay at home.
Feng Erya and her old sisters gathered together. The younger generations in the village put some fruit snacks on their table, and the old ladies were chatting.
The voices of Wan Gui and Wan Xi sounded from behind Feng Erya.
"Mom, we're back to see you. How are you doing?"
The sudden voice startled Feng Erya. She turned around and saw that it was her two unfilial sons in the town. Feng Erya immediately turned into the state of a loving old mother.
"It's the second and third children who are back. They must be tired from the journey. Why didn't they rest for a while at home?"
Wan Gui: "Mom, we are not tired. We didn't see you when we got home, so we thought you might come over here, so we wanted to come over to see if you were okay."
"I'm fine, I'm just an old lady, what's there to look at?
You have worked so hard outside these past few years, you should just focus on working for your employer and not worry about an old woman like me."
Just now, Wan Xi and Wan Gui couldn't find out anything from the villagers, so they set their sights on their own mother.
I want to call the old lady back home and ask her what is going on.
Seeing that her mother was so uncooperative, Wan Xi became a little anxious and said, "Mom, I bought you a piece of material in town with a longevity pattern. Go back and see if you like it. Your grandchildren are back too, and they all said they miss grandma."
Feng Erya's face was full of relief.
"They are all good kids. I haven't seen them for several years, but they are still so sensible.
There is no rush to go home. It is a big deal that a scholar has emerged in the village. Let's go back together after the celebration here is over.
Go and call all the children over to share in the master's joy. Maybe we can have a scholar in our family too."
Wan Gui and Wan Xi tried to persuade Feng Erya for a long time, wanting her to go home first.
Feng Erya knew that the two brothers were not holding back, so she insisted on celebrating the arrival of a successful candidate in the village first, and then going back after having fun with everyone.
The two brothers were very angry. Mr. Sun passed the imperial examination and became a juren. What does it have to do with you, an old lady? Why can't we have the banquet today without you?
But the old lady insisted, and the two brothers had no choice but to try to get close to other people in the village.
Hu Sijia rolled her eyes at the two brothers beside Feng Erya. Only after they left did she lean over and whisper crickets in Feng Erya's ear.
"I say, Dashan family, you are a little more serious this time, don't let them coax you back to your old ways, and be so open with them.
I know what I said may offend you and you may not like to hear it.
But if I don’t tell you, I will be betraying my conscience.”
