Now, my eldest son is seventeen years old, and he'll be getting married and having children in just a few years. I'll be a grandfather soon.
"Father, I want to go to the school on the estate to study for a while, but I don't know exactly what I want to do."
Mu Xuan wanted to go to the school on the estate to learn farming from his father and also to learn arithmetic.
I don't know how to farm, and I'm not interested in it. I want to study math properly so that maybe I can become a great accountant someday.
Jiang Shaoqin knew himself; he couldn't endure the hardship of farming under the scorching sun.
However, he did quite well in mathematics before, so he can study it properly.
"That works too. No matter when, having a skill will keep you from starving."
The accountant who taught arithmetic at Zhuangzi's school was very capable; he was the accountant for both your second aunt's shop and the village.
"Learn from him diligently, and if you can earn as much as him in a month, enough to support your family."

"Father, you're back."
"Hmm, you've talked to Shao Qin?"
"Yes, he said he didn't want to continue studying and wanted to go to the school in the village to learn mathematics."
I think that's a good idea; he's pretty good at math.
Jiang's father also knew that Shao Qin couldn't endure hardship and lacked perseverance.
"It's good that he's made up his mind. Let him give it a try first. As for marriage, let's put it on hold for now. He's not that old, there's no need to rush."
I told Shuwen about Chutong's marriage and asked him to help me see if any of the families he knew were suitable.
"Just look in the county seat, don't bother going all the way to the prefectural city."
When Jiang's father was in the prefectural city, he could tell that his eldest daughter-in-law was having some unrealistic ideas.
"Understood, Father."
After Jiang and his son finished speaking, they each went back to their rooms.
