Chapter 38 Getting ready to go to school
Because everyone in the Lao Xiang family knows that among the children in their family, the smartest one is probably the girl from the third bedroom.

So no one else had any objections to the family's decision to send her to school.

After dinner in the evening, Lao Xiangtou solemnly discussed the matter with his family again. After gaining unanimous consent, he began to order the things to be prepared for the next day.

"The master of the Qu family said that when the school starts, Mr. Kong will hold an opening ceremony, which is the 'Entering Ceremony'. Shu Xiu, who has just started to teach in the school, must not be careless. I have also inquired with the village chief. , when you first go to school, you should prepare the Six Ritual Bundles, which include dried meat, celery, lotus seeds, red dates, longan, and red beans. You can find celery, red beans, and so on at home. When you go to the county tomorrow, the third child, you can stop by and get the Six Ritual Ritual Bundles. Buy back the dried meat from Shu Xiuzhong, lotus seeds, red dates and longans! Then there are also pens, inks, paper and inkstones, remember to buy them too!"

Nodding to the third child, he agreed.

"After the school starts, let's see what books the teacher wants to prepare. Then we can go to the county bookstore to buy them!"

Lao Xiangtou calculated in his mind to see if he had missed anything. He found that he had not missed anything, and then he said to everyone: "Okay, that's about it. After Yaya recognizes the characters in the school, go back You can also teach the words to her brothers at home, so that the children at home will also know some words."

If you know a few words first, you don't have to spend your whole life just crawling around in this place like their adults and being blind.

"Let's see if there's any cotton at a reasonable price. If there is, pull it out and make a new outfit for Yaya. She's going to school, so she can't go there in tattered old clothes." Ms. Jiang on the side said to her. Said to the third child.

"Good girl."

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's all go back and have a rest. Tomorrow, the boss and his wife, you two will go to the mountain to pick all the ripe ones. Pick the ones that are ripe! In the next few days, these nuts will be harvested. The season has passed." Lao Xiangtou said.

It was a pity in his heart that for such a good opportunity to make money, it was a pity that the twister fruit could only be harvested for so many days a year.

"Okay, if you can sell all the cinnamon fruits picked this year, it's already pretty good!" Mrs. Jiang glanced at him and said.

Lao Xiangtou nodded.

The adults of Lao Xiang's family were sitting in the courtyard discussing with each other. The juniors now went back to their rooms to sleep after taking a break.

The next day, everyone in Lao Xiang's family went about their business according to what they were told to do yesterday.

Xiang Tiange opened her eyes, jumped out of bed with excitement on her face, put on her shoes and ran out to find her father before she could go out: "Daddy, daddy, daddy! I have a pen! You don't need to buy a pen for me today!"

When Xiang Laosan heard what she said, he turned around in confusion and looked at her running towards him holding a delicate brush.

He widened his eyes and stared blankly at the brush in his daughter's hand that their old Xiang family might not be able to afford, "Yaya, where did you get the brush?"

Xiang Tiange, who had been repeatedly warned by her grandma, rolled her eyes, then raised her head and said to her father with a smile: "It suddenly happened!"

Xiang Laosan: "." He actually already had a guess in his mind. Living under the same roof, his daughter often had new things that he had never seen before, and he had never seen her go out anywhere. His mother and daughter-in-law Even though he remained silent about this situation, he had already roughly guessed it.

And he thought that not only him, but also his two brothers and sister-in-law might have guessed something, so they had no objection to sending his daughter to school.

However, in order to protect Yaya, everyone unanimously did not reveal it to the public.

However, Xiang Laosan glanced at the writing brush in his daughter's hand and said to her: "Yaya, you take this pen in and put it away first, and then daddy will buy you another one. This pen you are using now." , you must put it away!"

He had never seen a writing brush inlaid with gold that looked so luxurious, let alone a little golden rabbit hanging from the lanyard on the top of the pen.
Yaya must not let this brush be used now. It must be kept first, lest anyone with care notice something wrong with their old Xiang family!
Xiang Tiange glanced at the brush in his hand regretfully, "Okay."

She also wanted to say that when she goes to school tomorrow, she can show Qu Xiang her new treasure and her favorite little golden rabbit on the brush!
"Okay, take it and put it away quickly, then wash up and have breakfast. Daddy will go to the county town to deliver Myrtle to the Li family first."

Xiang Laosan gently pushed her behind and asked her to go in quickly and put away this expensive and luxurious brush.

"Okay, Dad, please be safe on the road and walk slowly~"

Xiang Tiange waved to her father and watched him push a cart filled with baskets of myrtle from home.

At the beginning of the next day, the wealthier villagers in Taohua Village, as well as some villagers from neighboring villages, took their children of school age and gathered at the school.

Although the dynasty could also allow women to serve as officials, most villagers would not let their female children come to school, because in most people's eyes, female children will be married off when they grow up. The married daughter throws away the water, and the son is the descendant who can carry on the family line for him.

So when they saw Lao Xiangjia from Taohua Village holding a four-year-old girl to school, they were all surprised. Even Taohua, who knew that Lao Xiangjia loved their only granddaughter very much. Other villagers in the village were also a little surprised.

"Uncle Facai, your family wants to send Yaya to school?" The villager next to him who was a generation younger than Lao Xiangtou asked him in surprise.

Lao Xiangtou, whose real name is Xiang Facai!
It is said that Lao Xiangtou’s grandfather went crazy hoping that his family would get rich, so he gave Lao Xiangtou the name Xiang Facai.

At that time, this name was envied by many members of the Xiang family!
He nodded and responded to the junior who asked the question, and then ignored him. He held Xiang Tiange's little hand, followed by Xiang Shiro and Xiang Wulang who were helping to carry things.

Seeing this, villagers from neighboring villages came over and asked the junior just now.

"Hey, has the wealthy uncle in your village gotten rich? He actually wants to send a girl to the school! Are you saying that if he doesn't send other grandchildren to study, wouldn't his other sons have any objections?"

The junior glanced at the person who asked the question, "What does it have to do with you?"

It should be said or not, the villagers of Taohua Village are still very united. People in their own village can speak and criticize themselves, but they will never allow people from other villages to slander or sow discord with the people of Taohua Village!
