Chapter 24: Tian Yuanhang's Choice
Tian Panyan looked at his father gratefully, and then said to the shopkeeper: "If the shopkeeper Tang has anything to say, just say it." ”
At this moment, the meals also came up one after another, and the soup shopkeeper said, "Don't worry, you can finish eating first." ”
Nian'er went to lead her younger brother over, looking at the food on this table, she was dumbfounded, the two little guys had never eaten such a delicious meal!
Although he was surprised, he was not rude, but he looked at the shopkeeper Tang with a surprised face: "Brother Tian is so educated!" No wonder you can raise a delicate girl like Miss Tian! ”
What's the happiest thing about being a daddy?
It's nothing more than others praising your child in front of you for being a good tutor and being polite.
Tian Yougui heard the shopkeeper Tang say this, accepted it with a smile, and said: "That's nature, my girl is the best!" ”
The shopkeeper Tang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Tian Yougui to say this, he didn't say much to other people with his praise just now, but others replied to him with some humble words, like Tian Yougui, who admitted it generously, it was the first time I saw it.
However, Xu is such a character that can cultivate a girl like Tian Panyan, otherwise other people's humble words will not see how much their children have achieved.
In my heart, I have two more respects for Tian Yougui.
However, he also knows that he can only talk about business with Tian Panyan, and this family may be Tian Yougui's master, but when it comes to business, it can be seen from his attitude just now that he strongly supports his daughter's business.
It's not like other people at all, who think that doing business is contaminated with the smell of copper, and would rather raise their children so that they are not diligent, and they don't distinguish between grains, young ladies, and maids.
In the soup shopkeeper's thoughts, Tian Panyan gnawed on the chicken leg in his hand, "Sla", bit the meat off the bone, ate it with relish, and helped his younger brothers and sisters with vegetables from time to time.
The soup shopkeeper has no doubt that if there is wine on the table at the moment, and the person at the same table is a person who can drink, Tian Panyan must have poured a full bowl of wine in a bold manner, and then "sonorously", touching the bowl with the person at the table with one hand, holding the chicken leg with the other, and shouting in his mouth: "Drink!" If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”
Just now, he praised Tian Panyan for having a tutor, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he made up for Tian Panyan's arrogant appearance......
Seeing that she was almost eating and drinking, she carefully wiped her younger siblings' mouths with a handkerchief.
The two little ones were also full, enjoying their sister's help to wipe their mouths with peace of mind, just like two little kittens basking in the sun, exposing their bellies for the owner to tickle......
The shopkeeper Tang was just about to speak, but suddenly heard Tian Panyan ask her younger brother: "Yuanhang, you tell my sister, why do you want to study?" ”
6-year-old Tian Yuanhang looked at Tian Panyan firmly: "Sister, I want to be a teacher in the future." ”
"Oh? Why be a Mr. Teacher? ”
"So that I can feed you with the bundle I earned! Dad and mother don't have to work hard every day, and my sister doesn't have to go to pigweed to feed the pigs! ”
Tian Panyan never expected that the reason why this little girl was eager to study was that he wanted his family to live a good life, and only the hard work of his family was counted, and his own hard work was not counted, and he was unconsciously moved.
Looking at my father and sister again, when I heard the words of Yuanhang, I was so moved that tears flowed out.
The shopkeeper didn't expect that the reason why the child of the Tian family wanted to study was not to test for fame, to win glory for the family, to want fame and fortune, and to honor, but simply to want his family to live a good life.
"It's very hard to be a teacher, are you afraid of hardship?" Tian Panyan taught slowly.
"Yuanhang is not afraid of hardship, I am afraid that my father will bend over every day when I go to the field to farm, and my mother will burn her eyes by doing needlework every day!" The momentum in the little guy's eyes is undiminished.
Hearing the soup shopkeeper here, I was shocked, this young age knows how to plan for the future, knows what to do in the future to achieve the life I want, and thinks that if there is a suitable soil, this seedling will definitely grow into a towering tree.
The moved and suppressed cry of Tian Yougui and his wife came from his ears, and the shopkeeper Tang couldn't help but interject: "Tian boy, if you can really become a talent, you will come back with a champion in the future, your father and mother will become the father and mother of the champion, and your sister will become the sister of the champion, and you have everything you want." ”
"Oh? And such a good thing? Then I don't have to be a teacher? Tian Yuanhang's small head turned and looked at the shopkeeper Tang.
"Hahaha! Naturally you don't need to, if you can be a big official, you can naturally get a big house, countless people for you to call, you can eat whatever you want, your family can rely on your light, with you, they don't have to work hard at all! ”
The shopkeeper seemed to think it was interesting to tease this kid, and told him the benefits of being an official in an easy-to-understand manner.
Tian Yuanhang is young, and he has never been out of the village much, he has little knowledge, and the highest status he has seen is probably Mr. Teaching, how did he know that there is still a position in the world that can avoid the hard work of his family.
But at this moment, he knew, it was not too late, he just hesitated slightly, and immediately said to the shopkeeper Tang: "Uncle Tang, can I do this kind of work you said now?" ”
Seeing that it aroused the little child's desire for knowledge, the shopkeeper Tang was satisfied, but poured a basin of cold water on it in a timely manner: "Yes, you can do it now, do learning, at least a few years or even decades before you can achieve success, if you want to get into the top prize, it is even more difficult, are you still willing?" ”
Yuanhang was young, lowered his head and muttered the words "several years" and "decades" in his mouth, and looked up at the soup shopkeeper after a while: "I don't know how long a few decades are, but as long as I have the opportunity, I will work hard to learn and not cause trouble to my parents!" ”
"Well done! Tian boy, this shopkeeper thinks Qingsong Academy is very suitable for you! The soup shopkeeper laughed heartily on the side.
Tian Panyan, who was watching the interaction between the two on the side, asked, "What kind of academy is Qingsong Academy?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard Tian Panyan ask him, he hurriedly explained: "Qingsong Academy is not allowed to enter unless it has good grades, and everyone who enrolls must pass the entrance examination. ”
"And those who enroll, if their grades rank in the top five of the college, can even be free of tuition!"
As soon as Yuanhang heard the words "tuition-free", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Tang, how can I get a tuition-free place?" ”
The shopkeeper Tang didn't hide it from him: "The kid who entered school at your age last year, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text" can all memorize, and he writes very well. ”
After hearing this, Yuanhang lowered his head and was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
However, Tian Panyan does not have such a high luxury, she only thinks that the road of her younger brothers and sisters in the future is not too difficult to walk, whether it is business, imperial examination or farming, as long as they like it, it is what they love in their hearts, it is worth pursuing, and the rest, just follow fate.
Therefore, he asked, "Shopkeeper Tang, is there any academy that can be admitted without exams?" ”
Hearing Tian Panyan say this, the shopkeeper Tang also knew that her requirements for her younger brother were not too high, and he glanced at her non-profit-seeking character, and looked at the contemplative voyage and replied:
"Yes, as long as Jinbai Academy can afford to pay the restraints, everyone can go to it, regardless of gender."
However, at this time, Yuanhang suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian Panyan: "Sister, I want to study in Qingsong Academy!" ”
