Chapter 75 The Reborn Girl 5
The second room of Xiao's family silently endured the ridicule that echoed in his ears day after day; when he couldn't bear it, Xiao Zhengrong wanted to vent his anger on Xiao Wang's, and used fists and kicks from time to time.

After being beaten several times, Xiao Wang transferred all the hatred to Xiao Erya; only then did Xiao Erya realize how happy she was when she was able to grow up well and get married.After the family was separated, the grandparents could not take care of the parents, and the eldest son hated her, turning a blind eye to the crimes she suffered.

The two households separated, and the second household was silent, occasionally jumping up and down; the eldest household was happy and harmonious, and after Xiao Hongkang followed his father Xiao Zhengping to the county town to go to school, the eldest household also calmed down.

Xiao Hongping went to play with his friends in the village every day, and Minghua went into his father's study to read, because she was small and short; I could often see such a scene, pink and tender little dumpling sitting on the threshold in floral cloth clothes, huddled Group, carefully read the books.

"Sanya holds the book and reads it every day, she looks like she can understand it." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and laughed.

Old Mrs. Xiao smiled and said nothing; after the second room was separated, she had been like this for many days.

Mr. Xiao on the side looked in Minghua's direction while smoking a dry cigarette, "You can't laugh at Sanya, she can sit still at this age, and she can sit steadily, which means that she is a material for studying; Her Majesty the Queen now allows women to take exams, why not, Shall we send Sanya to a private school?"

"What book is a girl studying?" The old lady was displeased, "If you have that money, why don't you send Pingping there, because Pingping hasn't studied yet."

Mr. Xiao sighed softly, the family only had so much money, and it was really impossible to provide for the three children to go to school.

The speaker has an intention, and the listener has an intention.

Xiao Leshi peeked at her daughter a few times, and couldn't help but look at her after work. A daughter is no better than a son who can always be by his side. There will always be a time to marry.When I went to my in-law's house, I had to think more about it if I wanted to take it slow.

The husband is a scholar, and the eldest and second sons will definitely be admitted to school.

For the long-term plan, when Xiao Zhengning and Muxiu returned home, she mentioned the plan in her heart to him.

Xiao Zhengning nodded again and again, "Our girl has this stamina, she can't miss it; I'll go to the academy to ask about enrolling, if you want to enroll, you can enter the academy, we are not without conditions. Our second child should also enroll, let their brothers and sisters read in one class."

"Sanya is so small, can someone ask for it?"

"No problem. Before I came back, I received a letter of appointment from the first-class teacher of the college. I will start teaching Class A next semester. The monthly salary of the students in Class A is one or two more than that in Class C."

Xiao Leshi was surprised and delighted, "Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?" Xiao Zhengning looked at her with a smile.

"Great, with this tael of silver, we should save Sanya to go to school." With a smile on his face, he said cheerfully: "Sanya wants to go to school, and her parents-in-law agree, don't worry about her father-in-law. , my mother-in-law doesn’t quite agree with Sanya’s admission; you have to convince her mother-in-law that if it’s possible we can move to live near the county school. It’s easy to come and go, and the children don’t have to run back and forth.”

Xiao Zhengning listened to it, thoughtful.

At dawn, Xiao Zhengning found Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao, chatted with them for a while, and then changed the topic.

"Father and mother, I have been promoted to Class A as a teacher, and I will get a month or two more money every month from now on; I want to send Sanya and Pingping to the county school, where it will be more convenient for me and Kangkang to take care of me. What do you two think?"

Mr. Xiao nodded, "I have no objection."

"I have no objection." Mrs. Xiao glared at the old man and asked her son, "What can you do with the one tael of silver? The county school costs five taels of silver a year, which is not enough for food and clothing; there are three children in the family. , you can’t lose all the money, you have to leave some property for your two sons and prepare a dowry for Sanya.”

Xiao Zhengning smiled casually, "Mother, it's too early to think about this now; besides, as long as Sanya is talented and capable, what's the matter with less dowry? We are a farming and studying family, so it's not normal to have less dowry! As long as Sanya can stand up Get up, no matter where you go, you are a capable person, and others have to respect you."

"So, father and mother, I think Sanya should go to the county to study; as parents and elders, it is impossible for us to stay with her for the rest of my life, and now it is just a good time. Her Majesty the Queen came to the throne a few years ago and issued an imperial decree that women can enter the academic examination." , How great it would be for Sanya to be the first batch of female students to enroll."

"Sanya can sit still. At the age of five, you can see that you have a calm mind. If you train well, it will not be bad. If our Xiao family and clan can produce a female scholar, female candidate, or even a female Jinshi, that would be too honorable. Our Xiao family The girls don't have to worry about their marriages anymore, and they can let outsiders see how good and open-minded our Xiao family is."

The more Mr. Xiao heard it, the more he felt that Sanya should go. It would be a loss if he didn't go. He didn't wait for Mrs. Xiao to make a final decision.

"Go, why don't you go, as long as Sanya can read and take the exam; we have to pay for everything."

"You're the only one who pays?" Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "It costs too much for three children to go to school; it's 15 taels of silver a year! The 25 taels allocated by the family can be used for them to study for a year at most. Three taels of silver, twelve months a year, can save 36 taels without eating or drinking. Four people eat and drink in the county school, at least one and a half taels of silver a month, 18 taels a year; plus 15 taels of tuition , can only save three taels of silver a year."

"Are you talking about how many children don't need to buy clothes?" I'm so worried, my husband and son are not the material for the family.

Mr. Xiao coughed uncomfortably, "I really can't, I'll pick up work outside; during the busy farming season, I can earn [-] copper coins a day, how little can add up! I think Sanya should be admitted to school, not because of Sanya. If it’s a girl, it’s underestimated.”

"Damn old man, when did I look down on Sanya? Isn't it because the family has no money! I can only hold on to the male." Old Mrs. Xiao said unconvinced.

Mr. Xiao smiled wryly. Didn't he see clearly after that?

Xiao Zhengning made a statement, "Father and mother, don't talk about it, at worst, I will take time out to tutor the rich children in the county; I always have to give some repairs to the small stove, so I should be able to pull away."

"Can you take this kind of job in private in the college? Don't get fired." Mrs. Xiao said it directly, because she was afraid that her son would lose this lucrative job.

"No, I just rent a house in the county seat, and it shouldn't be a big problem if I don't hold classes in the college." After finishing speaking, his thoughts seemed to be opened, "I can also teach privately to students outside the county school. If there are students from the county school who insist on coming, I can’t help it.”

Mrs. Xiao shook her head, and Mr. Xiao rejected his proposal, "It's not right, you should be loyal to one line, and you will definitely catch people if you do this."

"How about this, let's set up a private school in our village; open one day in seven days, one day when you take a bath, we will not accept other things for the rest, and each family will give what they can get." The son is a scholar and is willing to work in the village Opening a private school, although it is open one day out of seven days, many people are willing to come.
