Chapter 618
If the Zhu family didn't have enough money, they could only send one person to study; if he hadn't felt that Dabao and Erbao were still young, it wouldn't matter if they delayed it for another year.
To be honest, Mr. Cen almost relented and let Dabao and Erbao go to school for free.
These two kids are really outstanding!
There was already such an "excellent" uncle in front of me, but their cleverness and eagerness to learn were not overshadowed by any halo, and they were each wonderful.
Compared with Zhu Qi, Mr. Cen is indeed more optimistic about Dabao and Erbao.
The reason why he worked so hard to teach Zhu Qi was not only because Zhu Qi had a superior memory, but also because if Dabao and Erbao could really go a long way, a talented uncle would be more valuable than a fool.
If Zhu Qi is just an ordinary fool, then the Dabao and Erbao who were enlightened by the fool will not only be laughed at by others, but will also become a "stain" on them when they enter the officialdom.
But what if Zhu Qi was a child, a scholar, or even a scholar?
These days, who dares to mock a scholar as a fool?
Especially, this scholar has a reputation.
Unconsciously, Zhu Qi was actually tied to Dabao and Erbao, and also to Mr. Cen's boat.
Don’t forget, Mr. Cen also has a son Cen Guangji who is a good student.
Rather than saying that Cen Guangji played with Dabao and Erbao, it would be better to say that he was Zhu Qi's friend.
Even in order to gain more allies for his son, Mr. Cen had to devote himself to the Zhu family's uncles and nephews.
When he was deprived of his fame and almost sent to prison, his classmates tried their best to save his life.
Therefore, he knows how important it is to have a classmate who can make a difference.
Mr. Cen doesn’t know what will happen to the Zhu family in the future, but after being a husband for so many years, it is true that only the Zhu family’s uncle and nephew stand out in his eyes.
There is no one else but them.

When Zhu San came back from Mr. Cen, he quickly comforted Dabao and Erbao, who were immersed in studying, and told them what Mr. Cen had said.
Dabao and Erbao raised their palm-sized faces, somewhat unwilling to believe it: "Third uncle, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
"Why did I lie to you? Everything I said is true. My husband told us personally." Zhu San looked at the two little faces that had obviously lost weight during this period, feeling distressed and said, "Stop memorizing it."
, play for a while.”
Erbao did feel a little tired and wanted to put down the book in his hand.
But before he put it down, he looked at Dabao.
Dabao shook his head and said firmly: "Uncle Third, I know you feel sorry for us, but Uncle Third, our family has no money, and grandma sent us and Uncle Qi to study under tremendous pressure.
"
"If you didn't want to take care of us, you wouldn't leave your work in the countryside and come here to take care of us."
"Uncle Seventh is in a special situation. My second brother is still young, and I am the eldest grandson. Everyone in the family is counting on me, so I can't be lazy."
…
Although Erbao wanted to play, he shook his head when Dabao said this: "Uncle Third, I listen to my elder brother."
Zhu San's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he felt touched and sour at the same time.
I used to think that Dabao was very smart and more sensible than other children. After attending the school, this kid became more sensible.
He didn't know what the scholars who usually came into contact with Dabao said. He only saw that Dabao was working harder and harder every day.
"Dabao, you are still young. You are only seven years old. There is no need to be so anxious." Zhu San turned his head, held back his tears, and continued, "And Erbao, you are too. You are younger than your Dabao. You are this year.
You are only four years old, and others at your age are still playing in the mud."
"I'm not in a hurry. I'll do whatever big brother does." Of course Erbao doesn't want to be so tired, but he is used to following Dabao as his tail, so whatever Dabao says, he does.
Zhu San knew that although Erbao was smart, he listened to his elder brother more, so he could only persuade Dabao again.
As long as you can explain Dabao, you can explain two things.
It's a pity that he, who is considered smart among the brothers in terms of words, cannot convince the eldest nephew and cannot defeat him at all.
It was under such circumstances that Ye Yuran arrived at Cen's Book School.
As soon as she came in, what she saw was Zhu San's eyes red, trying to persuade Dabao and Erbao not to work so hard.
"What's wrong? His third uncle, is it Dabao and Erbao who don't listen to you?" Mrs. Liu didn't hear clearly. When she saw this scene, she thought it was Dabao and Erbao who had done something wrong, so she quickly stood over, "
Did they make a mistake? His third uncle, it's okay. You can beat or scold him if you want. If you make a mistake, you should be punished."
With that said, he pulled Dabao and Erbao and asked them to apologize to Zhu San.
Zhu San waved his hand quickly: "No, sister-in-law, they didn't make a mistake, they just studied too hard. I feel sorry for them and let them have a rest."
Ms. Liu was a little confused: "Ah, doesn't it work if you study too hard? How can you get ahead in studying if you don't study hard?"
Zhu San didn't know how to explain to Liu.
When Ye Yuran saw the appearance of Dabao and Erbao, he knew it.
Although the two of them have grown taller, they are obviously thinner than last time. Their little faces that should have been red are no longer moisturized. Although the dark circles under their eyes are not obvious, they are a little tired.
Dabao is slightly better, but Erbao is a little more conspicuous.
She sighed in her heart and gave Mrs. Liu instructions on how to clean the house and cook for them.
As for Zhu San, Dabao and Erbao, she called them outside to talk.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she knew that her mother-in-law had something to say, so she had no objection and honestly put the things she had brought in the house and started working.
Dabao and Erbao followed Zhu San obediently and followed Ye Yuran outside.
Ye Yuran picked the time well. At this time, everyone had not finished class yet and there was no one in the yard, which made it easier for them to talk.
But even so, Ye Yuran still looked around to make sure there was no one, and then slowly spoke: "Third brother, tell me what's going on."
Zhu San did not hesitate and simply stated the matter.
When he spoke, Dabao and Erbao both stood upright obediently and listened attentively. However, they didn't think they had done anything wrong, just like their mother said - if you don't study hard, how can you get ahead in reading?
They study hard in order to live up to their family's hopes.
That's why grandma won't make a fuss like Uncle San, and will definitely praise them.
After listening, Ye Yuran was not in a hurry to express her opinions. She looked at Dabao and Erbao: "You two, do you have anything to say?"
Dabao and Erbao raised their heads and stood straighter: "No."
"Er Bao, are you tired?" Ye Yuran did not look at Dabao anymore, but at Er Bao.
Erbao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to ask himself first. He looked at Dabao hesitantly.
"Don't look at your brother, you speak for yourself." Ye Yuran said, "Don't lie to me, tell the truth."
