Eight zero peasant girl

Chapter 116

"Grandpa, Uncle Wu has a letter!"

Before people arrive, the voice arrives first!
Meng Tang happily ran into the yard, staring at Meng Chengwen who was sitting under the eaves reading a book, and shouted again: "Grandpa, Uncle Wu has a letter!"

"What about the letter?"

Meng Chengwen stood up excitedly from his chair, his cloudy eyes glanced at Meng Tang.

Meng Tang turned to look at Song Xiangyang, who was walking slowly outside the door, and hurriedly urged: "Village Chief, hurry up!"

"The road is too slippery, and it is easy to fall when walking fast."

"Grandpa, Uncle Wu must write the letter first again this time, and then send things."

"I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I don't know how he is doing. Tangtang, your grandma is pulling weeds in the vegetable garden, call her back quickly." Meng Chengwen took the letter paper with trembling hands, rubbing the full envelope with his rough fingertips, Urge in a low voice.

The old woman was still talking about Xiao Wu two days ago, worried that he would not have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, but now she can feel relieved when she receives the letter!

Sitting upright on the chair, looking at the weeping Meng Chengwen, Song Xiangyang kindly persuaded him: "Uncle Meng, Hua Chao's beating has been going on for so long, and my brother doesn't plan to pursue it anymore. If he doesn't do well, let him go back to the village!"

"Oh, I have caused you trouble!"

"Uncle Meng, you're offended by saying this. It's common for folks in the village to fight over a word. My younger brother and sister have eccentric personalities, and they only love Xiaomei. If Xiaomei didn't force Hua Chao to marry her, there wouldn't be so many troubles." thing."

Meng Chengwen sighed deeply: "It's all fate, God's decision, and no one can resist it. Your sister-in-law and I are getting old, and our legs and feet are not flexible. The children are all married and have their own ideas. They can do whatever they want, no matter what! "

He also wants Xiao Wu to come back, but if Xiao Wu doesn't want to come back, who can force him!

Children are debts!
Seeing Meng Chengwen's reluctance to talk, Song Xiangyang immediately changed the subject: "Uncle Meng, a support teacher came to the village primary school a few days ago. She came to me and suggested that all children of sufficient age in the village go to school. , what do you think about this?"

"All children go to school, which is a good idea. As expected of a teacher who came to support education in the countryside, his ideological awareness is high. Let every child go to school, acquire knowledge, master skills, enter university, and find a good job. This teacher has a broad vision. .”

Song Xiangyang questioned puzzledly: "Knowledge is so useful?"

It's just knowing a few words, how can it be so useful?
Uncle Meng wouldn't fool him!
Glancing at Song Xiangyang with disgust, Meng Chengwen accused unceremoniously: "What do you know? There is no end to learning, and the power of knowledge is even more indescribable. Why did the Qing Dynasty disappear? The population in the east is not enough for one of us." The province has a large population, so why would he dare to take the initiative to launch a war. Xiangyang, you are the village head, and you are different from ordinary villagers. You have to learn more and broaden your horizons, otherwise, how can we make our village flourish?"

"Uncle Meng, calm down, I don't mean anything else, but if all the children in the village go to school, there will be no one to feed the chickens, ducks and sheep at home."

Hearing this, Meng Chengwen yelled angrily: "Stupid! Xiangyang, you are the village head, how can you be so narrow-minded. The most important thing to be a human being is to have foresight. Now let the children feed chickens and ducks, then what will happen next? I remember your family Both girls go to school early, why do you treat them differently?"

Short-sighted, only caring about the petty profits in front of me, it's sad and lamentable!

Song Xiangyang explained aggrievedly: "At that time, I felt that the two of them were a little noisy at home. It's better to go to school to learn more words, so that I can find my husband's family in the future."

"Stupid, Xiang Yang, let me ask you, what do you think of the girl who came from the city to teach?"

"Knowledgeable, gentle and sensible, neither humble nor overbearing, very good!"

"Do you want your daughter to become such a person?"

Song Xiangyang was excited and uneasy: "Is it possible? Can the two of them do it?"

"Why not? You have a poetic spirit in your stomach. As long as you go to school and read, it's not difficult. Xiangyang, uncle, I will tell you the truth. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. In other words, you have worked in the village for many years. Don't want to go up?"

"Uncle Meng, you are indeed a scholar. Listening to what you said, I am full of energy. Since you said that reading is of great use, there must be no mistake. I will go home and list it carefully. A village meeting may be held in two days. , when the time comes, you can say a few words.”

"no problem!"

"Okay, then I'll go home and work out the details."

Meng Chengwen looked at Song Xiangyang who was leaving in a hurry, and shook his head helplessly.

When Xiangyang does things, he really can't delay for a moment!

Meng Tang helped Mrs. Zhou to the yard, looked at the empty chairs, and asked curiously, "Master, where is the village chief?"

"he's returned home!"

Meng Tang frowned in surprise, and asked softly, "Master, did the village chief tell you about letting all the children in the village go to school?"

"said."

"How do you answer?"

"It's a good thing. I definitely support it. But girl, there are more people going to school, and it will be difficult to get the first place in the exam."

Meng Tang curled her lips in disdain: "Master, you look down on me too much. Don't say that all the children in the village go to school, even in the whole town, I have the confidence to get a good grade in the exam."

She has experienced severe beatings in the college entrance examination, and someone who has gone to college, if she can't even pass the exam for a young carrot, it would be too embarrassing for a newborn!

Just wait and see, she will definitely be famous in Songzhai in the future.

Mrs. Zhou was anxious to read her son's letter, so she directly interrupted the two of the 'boasting': "Okay, where's Xiao Wu's letter?"

"Here, girl, come and read."

"it is good."

After receiving the letter, Meng Tang spoke clearly and read the letter with rich emotion, without making any mistakes.

After a long time, when the letter reached the last page, Meng Tang happily turned the tone and ended the letter reading process.

"Master, Fifth Uncle is amazing. He not only married a wife from scratch, but also leased so many acres of land. He is too economical."

Meng Chengwen sighed sadly: "Your fifth uncle is smart, but unfortunately he doesn't like to study."

Seeing that the two of them missed the point, Mrs. Zhou reminded with a straight face: "Old man, did Xiao Wu say that his wife is about to give birth?"

Did the grandpa and grandson take advantage of the money?
There were several pieces of letter paper, and a lot of content was written, but the two of them only cared about whether Xiao Wu made money, and didn't care at all whether Xiao Wu was doing well.

"Well, it seems to be! Uncle Wu just got married last year, and the child will be born this year, which is too soon!"

"It's not fast at all. Your grandfather is at the age of your fifth uncle, and he has two or three children. Old man, write to Xiao Wu to see when he will bring his wife and children back."

"Grandma, my fifth uncle said in his letter that he wants to venture there in recent years and won't come back for the time being."

Hearing what Meng Tang said, Mrs. Zhou could no longer bear the sadness in her heart: "Xiao Wu, he is so cruel."

She never asks her children to be rich and powerful, but only hopes that they will be safe and well, and that they will get what they want in their life.

The six children are all her own flesh and blood, she loves her dearly!

"Grandma, don't be sad, Uncle Wu said, I will give you a surprise in two days."

Granny Zhou stopped crying instantly, and asked expectantly, "What surprise?"

　It's hot!
