Hearing Zhuqing mention his younger brother Zhushan, a trace of worry flashed across Wang's face: "Hey, I was just thinking of telling you that. Shan'er has recently been staying in the school of your second aunt's house and is studying hard! He saw
Your cousin Zijun went to take the exam and said that he also wanted to get a meritorious degree so that he could help his family in the future. Now he is obsessed with studying and his family refuses to come back because he is afraid of wasting time on the way back and forth. "
Zhuqing was stunned. She knew that her younger brother Zhushan was studious and sensible, but he suddenly became so studious. Could it be that he was stimulated by something?
She looked at Mr. Wang with some doubts: "Shan'er is still young. He is just going to take the Tongsheng test. I'm afraid it will take at least another three to five years, right? Why is he working so hard all of a sudden? Besides, can his body handle it?
?”
Mrs. Wang nodded with a sad face: "Who says it's not the case! But I won't listen to him either! Besides, my family is busy building a house and moving to a new home these days, so I can't take care of him. Just let him be with you first.
He lives at the second aunt's house. The return of one of them will delay his studies, and the other will not allow him to rest peacefully. I also told your second uncle not to let him get too tired, and to let him stop in moderation."
Zhuqing nodded: "That's the truth. But we still have to have a good talk with him. It's a good thing to study hard, but you must know how to combine work and rest. You can't let your body collapse anymore."
"Qingya, if you are free today, let's go to your second aunt's place to see Zhushan. He may not be willing to listen to what I say, but he may be willing to listen to what you say. He admires you the most." Wang
Shi said.
"Okay, I just have to go to Huangni Village to talk to Mr. Zhang about distilling alcohol. I need to prepare some medical alcohol. I'm afraid it won't be long before someone comes to buy it from us.
When we go to the second aunt's house, we happen to pass through Huangni Village." Zhu Qing knew that after Yu Rong returned to the military camp, the wonderful effects of medical alcohol would inevitably spread, and by then, in case of a real border conflict, I'm afraid it would have to be used
There are certainly many places.
"Okay! Let's hurry up and see how Shan'er has been these two days! I haven't seen him for several days." Mrs. Wang hadn't seen her son for several days, so she was very worried.
Zhuqing then greeted Gao Wei and asked him to drive the carriage and go out with her and Wang.
Because of what happened to Yu Rong, Zhu Qing can no longer and cannot act alone. Li Zheng has made it clear that if Zhu Qing wants to go out, she must bring Gao Guard or Jin Guard with her. He is afraid that something will happen to her again.
Wang quickly brought some of Zhushan's favorite snacks and his clothes that she had prepared before, and went out with Zhuqing.
They went to the Zhuang Family School first, and when they arrived, it was almost noon.
Many children in the school came out, obviously planning to go back to eat.
Seeing the carriage in front of the school, the children all looked curious and envious.
The Zhuang Family School is the largest school among several nearby villages. Except for a few children from wealthy families, most of the students it accepts are young boys from nearby villages.
The family conditions of these children are just above food and clothing. Many families send their children to school just to learn a few words so as not to become blind.
Therefore, their daily exposure to the world was limited. When they saw Zhu Qing's carriage, they couldn't help but gather around and watch the excitement.
When Zhuqing and Wang got off the carriage, a sharp-eyed child recognized them: "Ah! It's the third aunt of the banker, and Zhushan's sister, Sun Zhuqing, who was commended by the county!"
A group of chirping and shouting children quickly attracted the attention of the master in the school.
When Zhuqing's second uncle Zhuang Heyuan came out of the school after hearing the sound, the children dispersed in a hurry. But when he saw Zhuqing, he immediately smiled all over his face.
"Qingya, why are you such a busy person here today?" He smiled particularly kindly at Zhu Qing.
"I've met my uncle!" Zhuqing saluted him, and then said to him: "I haven't seen my brother for several days. I thought it was weird, so I came over to see him."
Zhuang Heyuan nodded, looked at Mrs. Wang with a clear look, and smiled at her: "I'm afraid you're not worried, right?"
Then Wang quickly introduced Gao Wei to him and explained to him that Gao Wei was sent by the Zhou family to protect Zhu Qing.
Uncle Zhuang also quickly greeted Gao Weiwei and told him not to be formal.
He said as he greeted them and walked into the school together.
The small rural school is composed of three brick buildings in the north and south, forming a courtyard.
The courtyard gate faced east. Two sycamore trees were planted in the courtyard, and a few banana plants were planted near the innermost courtyard wall. Along the gravel-paved corridor, they walked all the way inside and could see randomly dotted on the roadside.
Orchid grass. The small yard is quite elegant and interesting.
This elementary school is Uncle Zhuang’s home. The students’ classes are in the row of houses on the south side, and their family lives in the houses on the north side. Behind their house on the north side, there is another
The small courtyard is distributed with kitchens, small warehouses, etc.
It can be said that the conditions of Uncle Zhuang's family are pretty good in the countryside.
Of course, as a family with rare talents in the countryside, such conditions should be met.
There are five people in Uncle Zhuang's family, including his mother Lou, their husband and wife, cousin Zhuang Zijun, and cousin Zhuang Wenjing. The family mainly relies on the income from school to make ends meet. Sometimes when the weather is bad, Uncle Zhuang sees that
The students' families don't have much income, so part of the children's tuition will be exempted. He will also copy books for the study to supplement the family income.
Therefore, the banker's reputation in this area is very good, and the villagers respect Mr. Zhuang very much.
My cousin Zhuang Zijun has been studying with his father since he was a child. He is one of the few scholars in this area. He passed the Tongsheng Examination at the age of twelve. He is fifteen this year and is already planning to go to the government to take the entrance examination. If
If you can pass the exam to become a scholar, you can be called a child prodigy.
Because of his role model, almost all the children in this area, as long as their families had some surplus food, were sent to school by their parents. In people's words, they came to get a taste of the scholarly culture of the banker.
Zhuqing and the others walked all the way inside, and the sound of talking alarmed the banker's cousin Wen Jing.
She was different from her brother's calm and steady personality, but she ran out to greet the guests like flying: "Little aunt, Qingya, you are here! Come in quickly, come in! My mother saw a big magpie with flower wings in the morning, so she said today
We have guests coming! Sure enough, you guys came!"
"Girl Jing, why can't you learn from your sister Qingya? Don't you see there's another person here?" Uncle Zhuang looked at his daughter who was whining, and thought that Gao Weiwei was following behind them, so he couldn't help scolding her.
.
Then he said to Gao Wei: "I'm sorry, my little girl has no status."
Gao Weifei smiled: "Sir, your requirements for children are too high. My two girls are called Pi!"
