I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 8 Hopeless Enrollment
The seven days passed in a flash, Zhan Saburo still carried the back and forgot the front. He was forced by Xiao Yao, so he simply quit the job. He ran away every morning and disappeared, and the angry Xiao Yao had breakfast. did not eat.

Under the persimmon tree, Zhan Feiyu sat on a small stool obediently and accompanied Mrs. Zhan to peel the beans.

Listening to the second aunt's scolding that iron is not steel, Zhan Feiyu held out her small chest and looked proud and waited for praise, and said crisply: "Grandma, I can learn it by heart."

"Xiaoyu is smart, go to the milk room later, and grandma will give you a jujube cake." Mrs. Zhan's voice sounded flat, her face was sullen, but she didn't mention any words about admitting Zhan Feiyu to school.

Even if he knew this was the result, Zhan Feiyu still wanted to fight for himself, and Ruan Nuo's voice sounded incomprehensible, "Milk, I want to go to a private school with eldest brother."

Mrs. Zhan raised her head quickly, staring at Zhan Feiyu with cold eyes like a knife, and suddenly scolded: "Your mother is a fool, how can a girl go to a private school, how can she marry in the future!"

The second daughter-in-law said that Mrs. Li kept Xiaoyu's endorsement all night long, and would rather waste a year's [-] taels of silver repairing than let Erlang and Saburo go to a private school, with a vicious and ruthless mind.

Mrs. Zhan relied on her second son, but she loved her younger son, and she had no feelings for the hard-working boss Zhan, especially when the big house had no son. Mrs. Zhan didn't say anything bad, and she also defended her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li. Hi Lee.

In the past two days, little Yao shi kept muttering and complaining, and Mrs. Zhan was naturally unhappy when she heard too much.

As soon as Zhan Feiyu asked this question, Mrs. Zhan became angry, with a wrinkled face, and her stern eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and disgust for Mrs. Li.

"Uncle said that if he recognizes the words, he is a girl!" Zhan Feiyu said stubbornly, his heart was very sad, and he felt wronged for himself and his mother.

"Don't listen to your uncle's nonsense." Mrs. Zhan dropped her words sharply, picked up the green beans in the dustpan, and went into the kitchen. She didn't scold her granddaughter, but she made a note for Mrs. Li in her heart.

Sure enough!Zhan Feiyu, who was sitting on the small bench, tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself. In recent years, Caiyi Entertainment has been filial to the elders, but at the critical moment, the hearts of grandparents still have no bounds.

Looking at the house of Zhan's family, the black hole seemed to be a beast that swallowed people. Zhan Feiyu was depressed and uncomfortable, got up and walked out of the yard.

When Zhan Feiyu wandered into the vegetable field, his depression, sullenness, grief, and unwillingness had all been subdued. Looking at the tall figure holding a hoe and weeding in the vegetable field, Zhan Feiyu suddenly felt a sore nose. .

Looking at the small figure swaying on the ridge from a distance, Boss Zhan wiped the sweat from his face, and a rough voice sounded, "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

"Dad, drink some water." Zhan Feiyu picked up the bamboo tube under the shade of the tree and handed it over.

Today is a cloudy day, but after all, it is the hottest month of July. Dad's clothes are soaked with sweat and his face is flushed from the sun.

It is really good to be deceived!The second uncle said the day before yesterday that it was too hot, and there was no work in the county, but he still got up early and drove the ox cart to the county. He didn't come back until the sun set. live.

On the other hand, the uncle is wild and lazy. He sleeps until noon in the morning, and then goes out for a walk after dinner. He doesn't care if he scolds on his pacifier, and the uncle doesn't go to the ground. The hardest and most tiring person in the entire Zhan family is his father.

Standing in the shade of the tree and drinking water, Boss Zhan looked at Zhan Feiyu who was in a low mood and asked in surprise, "Why don't you endorse it at home?"

"Father, I can recite the Three Character Classic." Zhan Feiyu still had the last bit of hope in his heart, raised his head, and asked earnestly with a chubby face: "Father, I recite more than the second brother and Saburo, I win. Can I go to a private school? I also want to read."

Boss Zhan was stunned for a moment, met his daughter's dark and bright eyes, and the words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

Xiaoyu is sensible since he was a child. He eats coarse grains and wears clothes with coarse cloth patches, but he is much more beautiful than the pampered little girl in the village. People who don't know him will praise him, saying that Zhan boss is lucky, and his daughter Well raised.

Before waiting for a positive answer, Zhan Feiyu's expression was dim, the light in his eyes was annihilating a little bit, and he lowered his head in loss, "Dad, can't you? Not even if you win?"

"Xiaoyu, father..." Boss Zhan wiped his face fiercely. He wanted to say yes, but he couldn't bear to see Xiaoyu so disappointed.

But how can any girl in eight townships go to a private school?The [-] taels of silver a year were all saved by tightening the belt to live. I agreed, my parents would never agree, and the second and third families would not nod their heads, and the house would definitely be noisy at that time.

Why?Zhan Feiyu looked at the neat and tidy vegetable fields that were being taken care of, and his unwillingness surged into his heart, which made Zhan Feiyu resentful towards the Zhan family who were connected by blood for the first time.

It is said that it is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework!There are more than a dozen people in the Zhan family living under the same roof, and there are many conflicts and disputes among the parents, but Zhan Feiyu can clearly see it.

Zhan Feiyu knew that the second room took advantage of the advantage, but after all, it was a small bargain, and she didn't want to care about it. When she got older, not to mention how much money she made, at least she could make her parents worry about food and clothing without having to face the loess. Working upside down.

But going to a private school to study is not ordinary. Dalang’s ten taels of silver for Shuxiu a year, and if you count Saburo, it will cost 20 taels, not counting the cost of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, plus the cost of going to the county examination office. silver.

If Dalang Saburo is a reading seedling, the second uncle and second aunt don't have so many calculations, and Zhan Feiyu is willing to do it no matter how hard it is, but the fact is that the big house is struggling to provide for the second house.

At this moment, Zhan Feiyu wished that the Zhan family could be separated, but he turned his head to look at his father with a blank expression, helpless irritability and worry in his eyes, and Zhan Feiyu's heart softened again. Don't you just want to be embarrassed by your father?
