Even though Xiao Ba looks younger than Xiao Nian An, in fact, the little girl is more than half a year older than Xiao Nian An and was born at the beginning of the first month of the first year.
It's just that because my mother didn't die early, there was often no meal at home, which made her complexion sallow, her hair thin and yellow, and she looked younger than Xiao Nian'an.
The little girl was very dependent on her father. She didn't care about anything at the moment. She took the little baby's hand and asked her to take her to find her father.
Seeing this, Xiaowa let go of his hand and said: "Xiaoba, wait a minute, I will clean you up first. Your grandpa is sick, and you are dirty, which may make your grandpa's condition worse. Be good and stand here and wait.
Okay?"
Xiao Ba is not as smart as Xiao Nian An, but she is half a year older than Nian An, and because her family is poor, she has learned a little more since she was a child. Now she listened to Xiao Wa's words and nodded in understanding.
The little boy was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly fetched a basin of water. He put a handkerchief in the basin and planned to wash Xiaobahaosheng.
The little girl's face was a little dirty and chapped now, and she didn't know if it was due to the carelessness of the men in the family. This made her, who had been helping take care of Xiao Nian'an, feel very distressed.
There are not many children in Tuofeng Town, and the number of children under the age of five can be counted on two hands, so Xiaowa is extremely patient with Xiaoba.
After washing her hands and handing them over again, she came out holding a child in each hand.
At this time, it was the turn of Xiao Ba's grandfather, Old Man Tang, to see a doctor. As soon as the little girl entered the hall, she let go of Xiao Ba's hand and ran towards her father.yyls
Yan Shiqing was distracted and glanced at the little baby. Seeing that her son was a little aggrieved, but nothing else was out of the ordinary, she concentrated on seeing the doctor.
Old Man Tang has a typical ailment that turns into a serious illness. Yan Shiqing checked his foot and found that it was broken at first and never recovered.
The bones in his leg were not properly reattached. He can now walk, but as the legs grow longer and shorter, he will have a severe limp when walking. If the weather changes, he will still feel sore.
Not to mention this, he was originally suffering from a cold, but later became seriously ill because of his son's separation and the anger in his heart. In addition, he often failed to eat three meals a year. Seeing his son's hard work, he blamed himself for dragging him down.
In short, for various reasons combined, it can still be delayed until now, which can be considered a blessing.
After Yan Shiqing put down her hand, she sighed and said: "Old man, keep an open mind on everything. The days will only get better and better in the future. I will prescribe you some medicine first, but you must remember that my medicine can only heal the body.
, but it can't heal the heart. If you continue to be depressed in the heart, even if I have all my powers, I can't save you. As for your legs, time has been delayed for too long, and because you are old, there is nothing you can do."
Although Xiaoba's father is young, her grandfather is indeed not young. He is already over fifty no matter how you look at it.
You must know that people in this era who are over fifty are no better than those in modern times. In modern times, people who are over fifty are still very young, but in this ancient time, there is something equivalent to the modern age of seventy or eighty.
At this age and in this environment, Yan Shiqing really didn't dare to take action rashly.
Otherwise, if she were a young person, she would really be able to break the broken bone and reconnect it at the place where it had grown back, so that it could grow back again.
When Old Man Tang heard Yan Shiqing's words, he froze for a moment, then sighed and said, "Old man, it's enough to live to this age, and I don't want to drag A Ming down."
"Dad, don't say anything embarrassing, my son won't like to hear it!"
When Old Man Tang heard this, he sighed quietly, but the frustration in his eyes became even stronger.
Yan Shiqing had already been at Mr. Wang's place and read all the information about the people who stayed in this town.
There are really not many literate people in this town, at least not many who stay here. They can be counted on two hands, and the person in front of me is said to have the reputation of being a child.
All in all, among these people, he is considered to be the most knowledgeable.
In the past, she only knew such a person and didn't take it to heart. Now that she saw this man named Tang Ming, she saw that he didn't look like a treacherous person. She pondered for a moment and said: "Tang Ming, my princess.
I heard that you are literate and have the honor of being a child, do you want to continue taking the scientific examination?"
Tang Ming stiffened when he heard Yan Shiqing's words, then pursed his lips and lowered his head in silence.
He was smart since he was a child, but he was enlightened late. He didn't start studying until he was ten years old. He studied for seven years and finished the scientific examination at the age of seventeen.
It was okay at first, and I got the qualification of being a child student as I wished. But when I took the examination for scholar, I kept having a stomachache for some reason, and later I failed.
After that time, he was so depressed that he couldn't even raise his head in front of his brothers.
Originally, I wanted to continue to pass the exam in the second year, but there was a serious drought, and the brothers separated. They said that he spent a lot of money studying in those years, so the cash and food could not be given to him. He only wanted the house, whether he liked it or not.
When his father was left behind, they left three dollars to buy his father's medicine, and nothing else.
Due to the drought, people have moved away and there are few people. Where can we conduct scientific research again?
No, it has been delayed forever.
Now that Yan Shiqing asked this, he was naturally willing in his heart, but he also understood his situation.
Studying costs money, and pens, ink, paper, and inkstones are really not cheap. His family doesn’t even have enough food to eat, and there is no spare money for him to study.
Seeing that he was silent, Yan Shiqing could guess something in her mind and said: "Xiucai can take the exam every year. This place belongs to Antelope City and cannot take the exam due to drought. If you want to take the exam, I will write a letter and you can go to Pingyang."
Xicheng Examination. I heard that Antelope City and Pingxi City are in special circumstances, and the scientific examination time is one month later than other places. If you go this time, all the expenses will be borne by me. But if you are selected as a scholar or even a tribute scholar
Jinshi, I need you to come back here to benefit the people here, are you willing?"
Once Tuofeng Town is established, it will definitely not be much worse in the future. However, since ancient times, people have been heading for higher places, and few people have come back.
There is a lack of talent here. After she leaves, the people she brought will definitely have to follow. There will definitely be someone here to lead everyone, and Master Wang alone will not do it.
Furthermore, if this place is established three years later, Mr. Wang's political achievements are not small, he will definitely be promoted, and the possibility of staying here is too small.
She needs local people who are born and raised and loyal to lead everyone on the road to prosperity. Of course, it is best to have people with fame and prestige.
But now there is no such person here, so she can only cultivate one.
This man from Tang Ming was young, well-known, and filial. He didn't seem to be a pedantic person.
It is most suitable to use him.
It's April now, and if Tang Ming were not a Tongsheng, even if he wanted to take the exam this year, he wouldn't have time.
But he was already a child student and could directly take the college examination. It was still possible to drive to Pingxi City overnight and take the letter from her and the certificate issued by Mr. Wang to the academic administration in Pingxi City.
When Tang Ming heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself for a long time. Only when Old Man Tang gave him a gentle push did he come back to his senses.
