This means that he intends to continue sending Xu Liulang to study.
Fang Changxu and Fang Xu looked at each other, both happy.
Mrs. Fang Xu regretted that she was married far away and had not returned to her parents' home to visit her brother and sister-in-law for so many years. As for asking someone to send something to her, what did it mean?
She really wanted to do everything she could to make up for her brother and sister-in-law.
It was good now that her brother and sister-in-law came to Yiyang Mansion and would live there in the future. The two families were close to each other and it was convenient to move around in daily life. She was very happy about this.
Therefore, she also wanted to take care of the arrangements for her brother and sister-in-law's family, so that they could live a stable life as soon as possible.
Rokuro's study is the most important thing.
If Rokuro is successful in the future, it will be a blessing to his brother and sister-in-law, right?
"I think Mr. Yuxing's teachings are quite good. My husband, do you think Liulang will go?"
Fang Changxu pondered for a moment, then looked at Old Man Xu and said, "An uncle of mine is a scholar, and his knowledge is very good. He has set up a school and only accepts the young men in the Fang clan, but my family is still close to this uncle.
, and Rokuro’s own knowledge is not bad, maybe he can do it. If the eldest brother is willing, how about finding a time for me to take Rokuro to visit my uncle?”
Old man Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that it was the clan knowledge of the Fang clan. How could a family like theirs be able to learn from other people's clan knowledge?
But at the same time, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. He didn't know much about the Fang family. He only knew that the Fang family was a big clan and had many high-ranking officials in his ancestors.
This school is definitely better than many schools outside. It would be a great thing for Rokuro to study in it.
Old man Xu was in a state of confusion and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Fang Changxu couldn't help but said first: "Don't worry, brother, you can go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it with Liu Lang in detail. At this time, you can give Liu Lang a lot of body support. Reading is a waste of your brain.
It’s a big deal, it’s not okay if you’re weak.”
This makes sense, and Old Man Xu nodded, "Hey, I know. Then I'll think about it when I get back, and then I'll give my brother-in-law an answer."
Fang Changxu said: "Don't worry, I will give Liulang some books to take back later and ask him to review carefully. If he goes to see the teacher, he must take the exam."
Old man Xu thanked him hurriedly. Books are valuable things, costing several taels of silver. He accepted the favor and had to remember it well.
Soon it was time for dinner, and everyone moved to the dining room together.
Xu Dajun breathed a sigh of relief as he no longer had to discuss knowledge and could now start cooking. However, before he could sit down at the dinner table, he learned that his grandfather wanted to continue sending him to study.
Xu Dajun:……
His heart skipped a beat, but without showing it on his face, he quickly said: "Master, I don't want to study anymore."
Old Man Xu frowned, "Why don't you stop studying? You are the only one in our family who has a good brain and is good at studying. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't study?"
After talking for a while, he added: "There was nothing we could do about letting you come home from school last year. We didn't even have enough to eat at that time, and the amount of money had gone up again. Our family really couldn't afford it.
I can only bear the pain and let you go home first.
If you have nothing to do, just hold your two books and read them that you have worked so hard to copy. I also see it. Grandpa knows that you want to study in your heart!"
Xu Dajun: No, you don’t know, I really don’t want to study!
Mrs. Fang Xu looked at Xu Dajun and said kindly: "Liu Lang, what are you thinking in your heart? Tell me about it for your aunt."
Xu Dajun shook his head, "Anyway, I just don't want to study anymore."
Old Man Xu sighed heavily, looked at his grandson, and stood silent. He understood somewhat in his heart that he couldn't go into details right now. He would talk to his grandson properly on the way back.
"Okay, let's talk about it later."
Seeing what he said, Fang Xu and Fang Changxu didn't say much more. They just said it before, don't be in a hurry, go back and think about it carefully before talking.
The Fang family's wives prepared this meal very considerately. There was no big fish or meat, but it was still very rich.
The staple food is minced meat porridge specially cooked for the Xu family's ancestors and grandchildren. It is so soft that it melts in your mouth.
The dishes are also very light.
For people who have been fleeing the famine for a long time and haven't had enough to eat, the sudden rush of fish and meat is too much to bear. A meal like this is good for the body and very nutritious.
Old Man Xu and Xu Dajun saw it in their eyes and ate it in their mouths, their hearts felt warm and close to each other.
After dinner and a cup of tea, old man Xu said goodbye.
Mrs. Fang Xu repeatedly begged her to stay, and finally said that the eldest brother must be free to come home with his sister-in-law and the rest of the family, so she reluctantly sent her grandparents off.
Of course, he didn't leave empty-handed. Old man Xu was still sighing in his heart. He spent five taels of silver on the gift, but he got back countless fifty taels. He really took advantage of it.
Looking at the cart full of things, they still looked like they were shaking in the autumn wind.
However, he saw that his brother-in-law was sincere and there was no small talk, so he accepted the gift with a smile, thinking that the future would be long, and this love would have to be returned.
The Fang family doesn't have many servants, just a woman who cooks and a driver who drives the cart. The family has a mule cart with a shed. It's just the right time, so I'll give Old Man Xu and the others a ride.
If there weren't too many things, Mr. Xu would have refused to go to such trouble and ask for a car to deliver them.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, they met Zhou Sanchuan and others who had sold out firewood but had no job. Old man Xu unloaded his things and asked everyone to get some, freed up the cart, thanked the coachman and let him go back.
Zhou Chuan and others were still hungry, and even after selling firewood, they were not willing to buy anything to eat in the city.
There were a lot of snacks in the things given by the Fang family, so Old Man Xu took out a pack and let each of them eat a piece.
Everyone waited at the city gate for a while, and then Xu Chunhe and others came. They were all so tired that their faces turned pale, mainly because their stomachs were empty and they lacked energy.
Old man Xu quickly unpacked the snacks and gave each of them two cushions to regain some strength. Then they all left the city and went home together.
On the road, people were carrying everything. Old man Xu was walking side by side with Xu Dajun, empty-handed.
"Mukuro."
"Hey, grandpa."
"Although we have just settled down and have not lived a full life, fortunately, we have three houses. Even if we expand just one room, we won't spend much money. We can use all the household items and these are simple, and we are not in a hurry to buy more.
Your father and the others strive to work every day, and we can save some of the wages we get back so that we can live on.
We left Dawang Village and sold the land and house. Grandpa has money in his hand. First, he will support your education. Later, we will slowly work hard. Your father and I, as well as your eldest brother and others, can we still provide for you?
Why don't you study alone?
Grandpa knows, Rokuro, that you are just worried about your family. Grandpa tells you, don’t worry, study hard. As long as you can read more and know Braille, our family will be happy! If you work harder, you can pass the exam. He was a talented young man, but that grandpa would wake up laughing in his dreams! Your uncle and the others will also take advantage of it!"
"So Rokuro, don't worry about Shu Xiu. Grandpa has thought about it. Just study hard and don't worry about anything else, okay?"
