Chapter 3: Enlightenment Quota



So, we have to find a way to leave Hexi Village.

Even if you are full of knowledge, you will never be able to make a name for yourself in this backward and remote village.

In fact, Cui Xian had thought about studying and talked to his family about it.

But the family had two scholars to support and the burden was already too heavy for him to bear, so he really couldn't open his mouth.

Old Mrs. Cui devoted all her attention to her son.

As for my grandchildren, I would occasionally ask my two sons to teach them some simple characters as an introduction to their education.

There is no time to take care of the rest.

Alas, for now, all we can do is take it one step at a time.

It would be best to find an opportunity to go to Nanyang County and see if I can earn some money.

Cui Xian was heavy-hearted.

Cui Yu, who was walking beside him, looked around and nervously stretched out his hand: "Sister, brother, you two each have one piece. I've already eaten. You two should eat quickly."

When Cui Xuan saw it, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Bacon...bacon! Grandma will beat us to death...wuwu...it smells so good!"

Seeing that the elder sister raised her voice, Cui Yu quickly stuffed a piece of bacon into her mouth.

Afterwards, he looked at the bacon, swallowed hard, and handed it to Cui Xian: "Brother, this piece is yours, come on... woo woo... smells good!"

Cui Xian knew at a glance that Cui Yu didn't eat meat.

His so-called "little cousin" has been a gentleman since he was young.

Therefore, Cui Xian pretended to take the piece of meat, and then when Cui Yu was not paying attention, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

As a modern man, he would not be so greedy for a bite of bacon.

Cui Yu chewed the bacon subconsciously, then was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "Brother, that's the meat for you!"

Cui Xuan was also very surprised.

But Cui Xian didn't want to waste time talking about a piece of meat, so he ran home: "You guys eat it, swallow it and then go home. I'll go back to see what the headman is doing in our house."

Thinking back to the expression on the head of the village when he came to Cui's house just now, he always felt that the other party had bad intentions.

Cui Yu chewed the meat in his mouth in a daze and said to Cui Xuan: "Sister, Xian Ge'er has always been craving for bacon, but he was willing to give it to me."

Cui Xuan nodded frantically: "Yes, the meat is so delicious!"

Cui Yu smiled and said, "Since Xian'er let me give him bacon, I will also give him something else."

Cui Xuan was very surprised when she heard this: "What do you want him to do?"

Cui Yu shook his head and refused to say anything more. He pulled his sister along and caught up with Xian Ge'er to rush home.

A few days ago.

His grandmother found him privately and said to him, "If your father and uncle fail to pass the exam this time, I will send you to the county town to study with Master Gu."

Cui Yu subconsciously asked, "What about Brother Xian?"

Grandmother remained silent.

My family was poor, and supporting two students was already very difficult. Supporting one more student would only make the situation worse, so how could we support two more students?

In this case, the eldest grandson should naturally be provided for first.

But Cui Yu thought about it and felt that since he was both the eldest grandson and the elder brother, he should be humble.

Besides, Xian'er has been smart since he was young, and he will definitely be more successful than himself in the future.

So, let Xian Ge'er go to school to learn his lessons.
