"Sangua, do you still want to go to school now?" Seeing her youngest son's excitement, Dingxiang felt that some things could not be postponed.

Sangua hasn't even taken the step of enlightenment yet. He's already quite old and he really can't afford to delay.

It occurred to her that there was actually a private school in the village, and it would be perfect to go there before her youngest son became enlightened.

The tuition in a private school is not expensive, costing one and a half silver a year, while the school in the town costs five taels of silver a year.

Reading is really expensive.

It's no wonder that ordinary farmers are blind. Who would spend a few wasted money when they have nothing to do? There is no need to be literate in farming anyway.

Besides, the average farmer's income throughout the year is only five or six taels of silver. If all is spent, the family will only be able to drink from the northwest wind for a whole year.

Generally, only if a farmer's family produces a child with extraordinary talent, then the whole family's ability must be combined to be able to afford a student's education.

You must know that the money spent on learning along the way includes not only the training given to teachers, but also pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and various social activities among students.

If you only focus on studying and not socializing, you will not be suitable for officialdom in the future.

The waters of knowledge in the officialdom have become even deeper, and those stubborn fools cannot stand at all.

Thinking a little too far, Ding Xiang came back to her senses and looked at her young son who was thirsty for knowledge.

As long as Sangua is willing to study, she will definitely pay her dues to the end. Even if she enters officialdom in the future, she will protect him all the way.

This is probably the far-reaching plan of a mother who cares for her son.

Sangua nodded sharply. Being smart, he quickly understood what his mother meant and immediately hesitated.

"Let's wait a little longer and redeem Third Sister first." There is nothing more important than Third Sister's freedom.

In this family, the three sons all know how to give and love each other.

"Your third sister's affairs are very important, but your affairs are equally important. Son, mother plans to send you to a private school in the village for enlightenment first."

Most people send their children to private schools for enlightenment when they are four or five years old. Sangua is eight years old this year, which is three or four years later than other children.

"Brother, just go to school with peace of mind. Mom and I are responsible for making money, so you don't have to worry about it." Lin Dagua also expressed his stance.

If there is a scholar in the family, it is a matter of honor for the ancestors.

If the three melons are successful, it would be a good idea to be a scholar next year, oh no, even a boy student.

Li Dagua was not very good at reading, so naturally he didn't know how bumpy the journey of seeking knowledge would be.

Let’s not talk about personal qualifications, just talk about all the books that I have read, which is also very numerous.

Many people often study hard for ten years, but they may not be able to become a scholar.

He wants his younger brother to become a scholar in a year, but this is a bit too strong and makes it difficult for others.

Lin Sangua was very excited. He nodded excitedly: "Mom, brother, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations."

"Little brother, the second brother also supports you. The second brother can't do business, but he can farm, so he must support you in farming." Lin Ergua was stupid, but what he said now was very touching.

Ding Xiang looked at the brothers and sisters in front of her and felt extremely satisfied.

None of them saw that Lin Zhenzhu bit her lips tightly, with a look of reluctance on her face.

As expected, she was jealous again.

In this family, both the lazy mother-in-law (who is determined not to call her mother) and the eldest and second brothers are very partial to the younger brother.

Just because he is a boy and she is a girl, the treatment is very different.

To put it bluntly, it is a preference for boys over girls.

That idiot Huajiao was still dedicated to this family.

In her opinion, it is stupid.

"Is Aunt Ding here?" A woman's voice came from outside the door.

Ding Xiang stepped forward and opened the door. It was a girl with braided hair, neatly tidied up, and holding a big steamer in her hand.

"I am Lao Li Tou's youngest daughter. Aunt Ding probably doesn't know me." The girl had a kind smile on her face, and she looked like she was easy to get along with.

Jiao Niang looks like she is fifteen or sixteen, but she is similar to her big brother in grade.

Although it was reasonable to call her aunt, why did she feel so uncomfortable when she heard it?

"My father asked me to deliver this. Auntie, please take it."

Ding Xiang asked Da Gua to come up and take the steamer, and then counted the copper coins to the little girl.

After the little girl received the coins, she thanked her repeatedly and even called her Dingxiang so politely that she felt a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing to be grateful for. You didn't take my copper for nothing. You're too polite."

Ding Xiang smiled at Jiao Niang, and her eyes indicated that she should leave, but she looked like she had something to say.
