Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 441 Wu Shengjin is an old fox

Liu Ya was waiting under the tree here, and the parents around her didn't know each other, so no one talked to her.After a while, Liu Ya saw Wu Shengjin coming out from the corner door on the side of the school.It is estimated that the master has been entertaining him.

However, as soon as Wu Shengjin came out, he looked around and walked towards Liu Ya.As the distance got closer, I greeted Liu Ya first: "The second girl of the Liu family, are you waiting for your brother here? I really never thought that you would bring your brother here for the exam."

When Liu Ya beat the Wu family brothers for the first time, the old man of the Wu family confessed to her that it was his own child who beat someone wrong, so Liu Ya didn't have a bad impression of Wu Shengjin.Since Wu Shengjin said hello first, Liu Ya politely called "Grandpa Wu", and then agreed: "Yes, I have been planning to let my younger brother come to try it after I know about this government-run school."

Wu Shengjin said: "Okay, this is a good thing. I heard that you can read and write, and you taught your brother? Good boy."

He kept praising Liu Ya, but Liu Ya was confused, not knowing what he was planning.

Then I heard Wu Shengjin say: "However, this government-run school is not cheap, and the food expenses are all borne by yourself. I saw that your family built a new house, so you must have borrowed debts? If your younger brother passes the exam, But it is a long-term expense, can your family afford it?"

Liu Ya narrowed her eyes, even though she was so smart, she still didn't understand what kind of medicine Wu Shengjin was selling in the gourd.Therefore, he could only say in a non-salty way: "I can afford it. Three people in our family work, but we can't afford to support a younger brother who is studying."

"Three?" Wu Shengjin asked pretending to be puzzled, "Has your father's leg improved?"

"See you, my dad is practicing walking every day. Although the progress is not great, it is not completely hopeless. Besides, my dad can weave baskets and sell them for money; my sister grows vegetables, and selling vegetables after a while is also an income. , even if I eat at home, I can save a lot of money for buying vegetables. I can also collect some second-hand goods to sell, so the life of the family is not worrying."

As Liu Ya spoke, she pondered what Wu Shengjin meant.Guessing that he is so concerned about whether his family can afford Xiao Shu'er's education, he wants to know how the Liu family got rich?It seems not.Even if the Liu family has bought horses and built new houses these days, they have never been too extravagant. Most people think that the Liu family borrowed money.

Moreover, the Wu family has always been a well-to-do household in the village. To the Wu family, the fact that the Liu family has built such a few new houses is nothing. Naturally, they would not think that the Liu family had really made a fortune.What other plans does Wu Shengjin have?
Liu Ya was trying to figure it out, when she heard a bronze bell ringing, it means the school exam is over.

Liu Ya took this opportunity, nodded to Wu Shengjin, and said, "Grandpa Wu, my younger brother has finished the exam, I have to pick him up."

"Oh, let's go." Wu Shengjin said with a smile.However, he asked with concern: "Our family's carriage is parked behind the school, do you want to go back together by car?"

"No, thank you, Grandpa Wu, we came here on horseback." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she waved her hand and left directly.

There was no need to talk to Wu Shengjin, but Liu Ya was still wondering what the old man's plans were.He seemed to care a little more about his own family, and it didn't look like he was just looking for secrets to make money.

Liu Ya was thinking about it when she heard a woman next to her start a conversation with another woman: "Hey, from the Zhuo family, your six sons are also here to take the exam? How many exams did you take in your village?"

The woman who was questioned replied: "There are two families here, our family and Zhu's family. But our family only has six children who can read and write, and the three children of Zhu's family can read and write. Isn't it just for the exam together?" .”

"Hey, there are four people coming from your village? Then you have to plan ahead. I heard that not everyone can enter this government-run school. Except for the exam, even if they pass the exam, each village only needs to pass the exam." Two children."

"Really? There is this talk? I don't know. No, I have to talk to his father about it. See if there is anyone he knows in the town. Ask him for help, and then tell him about this matter." It's settled."

After the woman finished speaking, she hurriedly squeezed through the crowd at the school gate.It seems that the child's father should be over there.

Originally, Liu Ya didn't understand Wu Shengjin's plan, but after listening to the conversation between the two women, she immediately understood that Wu Shengjin was afraid that the only two spots would not fall to his two grandsons.

Only then did Liu Ya realize it. No wonder the Wu family only brought two children, Wu Erman and Wu Sanli, to the exam.Dare to say that they have already made internal appointments.And Wu Shengjin asked himself all kinds of things before, he must have wanted to make himself think that the cost of the school was high, so he quit in spite of the difficulties.In this way, the two places in Pingshan Village fell on the heads of their Wu family.

Thinking of this, the original good impression of Wu Shengjin was reduced a bit, and I felt that the saying "Jinger is still hot when old" is indeed true.And this Wu Shengjin is obviously a smiling tiger, he is concerned on the surface, but he is already plotting against others secretly.

Liu Ya has already figured it out, and the door of the school has also opened.Dozens of children ran out of it, it really seemed like school was over.

Liu Ya was still some distance away, and she could already see Xiao Shu'er's figure clearly.It wasn't because she was so familiar with her younger brother, but because Liu Ya discovered that Xiao Shu'er was the most conspicuous one among the children.They walked in an unhurried manner, and were neither crowded nor crowded. They didn't run around like those children, but cared about the people on the left and right, and didn't rush around.

Liu Ya smiled slightly, feeling full of comfort.Among other things, Xiao Shu'er's demeanor alone is really incomparable to other children.

Liu Ya didn't rush forward either, she just stood there and looked at Xiao Shu'er from a distance.When Xiao Shuer noticed her gaze, he raised his hands and gave him a pair of thumbs up.

Xiao Shu'er raised her eyebrows, looking proud, and then raised her hands high, responding to Liu Ya with a pair of thumbs.

For a while, the cheers of dozens of children and the inquiries of parents seemed to be quiet.The distance between Xiao Shu'er and Liu Ya is getting closer and closer, the people around the pair of siblings are blurred, only they are very clear in each other's eyes.One is full of comfort and approval, and the other is silent respect and love.

In Xiao Shu'er's eyes, he regards Liu Ya as a nearly perfect role model.In his heart, Liu Ya's position cannot be replaced by anyone. The warmth, surprise and future brought to him by this sister are what he is most grateful for but cannot repay.
