MTL - Almighty Dad-Chapter 102 Sick Dad 13
In the past two days, Mrs. Zheng felt that her eldest brother looked at her in a wrong way, as if she was a child kidnapper.
Mrs. Zheng didn't feel wrong. Han Ze felt that Mrs. Zheng's sister-in-law was really idle, and she stretched her hands too far. The only eight-year-old niece was a matchmaker, and she even went to her natal nephew. This made him very unhappy, even if he didn't like it, it was just a brother and daughter-in-law, so he couldn't say more.
Furthermore, as a man, he can't care about a woman, he can't care about his sister-in-law, it doesn't mean he can't care about his brother, the second daughter-in-law is so meddling, in his opinion, it's all the second's fault , so Han Erlang suffered.
During the past two days, Han Erlang felt inexplicable and wondered when he offended his elder brother from time to time in the past two days, but he couldn't find the reason after searching over and over again. With a cold eye, you can't have any complaints.
A few more days later, the atmosphere of Han Ze being a scholar gradually subsided, and no one came to the Han family. The county school started on the sixth day of June, and now at the end of April, there is still more than a month before the county school starts. It was the busy season of farming. Except for Han Ze and a few children, all the Han family members were busy.
Idle is also idle, Han Ze wanted to go to the field to help **** the ground, but he didn't think the whole family would disagree, so he gave up, thinking that if he didn't go to the field to help **** the ground, he could still copy books.
Years later, he had already copied half of the Four Books and Five Classics that he started copying, and he should be able to finish copying in the remaining month. In this way, you can get ten taels of silver, and you don't have to worry about it for the expenses of going to the county school.
Copying books during the day and having nothing to do at night, I come to teach the children how to read. Jin Xiu is eight years old and Jin Ye is six years old. They should have been enlightened long ago.
When Yuanchen was in good health, he taught Jinxiu a lot of characters. In Yuanchen's memory, Jinxiu was smart and good at reading. After teaching many characters twice, he remembered them. Yuanchen often lamented why she couldn't Boy, if you are a boy, you can take the imperial examination.
As for Han Jinye's original body, he fell ill before he could teach him, so I don't know what his aptitude is. Regardless of their aptitude, in Han Ze's opinion, children at the age of six or seven should be able to read and write. I went to the town to buy paper and pens, let them practice writing strokes first, and learn five characters every day.
Han Ze taught for a few days, and found that the two children were quite smart, but Jinxiu was older and could bear her temper. She sat there alone and wrote for an hour without making a sound. Han Ze told her to rest, and she would get up and move around. Exercise your muscles.
Jin Ye was different. After sitting there writing for half an hour, he would go on errands, either getting up to go to the latrine, or looking for water to drink. Anyway, there was always something to do.
One child can’t get up while sitting there, and one child is like a child with ADHD. This is not an option, so I set a task for the two of them, writing three sheets of paper in half an hour, and then they can rest after finishing writing.
After a few more days like this, the two children gradually got used to the daily study, and Han Ze increased the amount of study for them, learning six characters every day.
Han Jinxiu didn't say anything. In her opinion, she only needs to learn embroidery every day, and then follow her father to read and write. She doesn't have to cut pigweed and do housework like children in the village. I don't know how comfortable it is.
Han Jinye felt pressured, and complained with a pout, "Daddy, can you write less?"
Han Ze looked at him lightly, and nodded happily: "Yes."
Jin Ye jumped up happily, Han Ze smiled and said in a calm manner: "We will make dumplings at noon, so you don't want to eat them. You can eat half more of your steamed buns."
Jin Ye's joyful face darkened, "Why?"
It takes a long time for their family to make dumplings. In these days, my father was selected as a scholar, and his family made dumplings a few times. He likes to eat dumplings. It's fine if the family doesn't make dumplings, but if he makes dumplings, he won't let him eat them. , Didn't he want to greedy him, it made him feel worse than beating him up.
Han Ze narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Except for your younger brothers and sisters, your grandparents, second and third uncles, your mother, second and third aunts, our family has things to do, and everyone will be on time. After finishing their own work, they eat dumplings with peace of mind, but you haven't finished the task that father entrusted to you, how can you have the nerve to eat dumplings?"
Jin Ye wanted to say that he was embarrassed, why was he embarrassed, but looked at his sister who was staring at him, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I will write."
Han Ze smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will write two more characters than your sister every day."
Han Jinye said, "Why? I am younger than my sister, shouldn't I have two less big characters?"
Why do you have to write more when you are young? This is obviously unfair.
Han Jinxiu kicked his feet and said, "I'm a girl, and girls can't take scientific exams. You are a boy, don't you want to take the scientific exams, don't you want to be an official? You are really worthless. Dad is a scholar. When you grow up, don't even fail the scholar exam, and embarrass your father."
Being looked down upon by his sister, Han Jinye is not convinced, he is promising, that is, his hand hurts from writing too much, his hand hurts, can't he rest? He is serious about studying, but sometimes he just wants to take a break, and his sister is too contemptuous of others.
"I must be better than my father. My father is a scholar, and I will be the number one scholar, and I will be a high-ranking official." He declared loudly.
Han Ze nodded with a smile: "Yes, I have ambition. Dad is waiting for you to take the No. 1 examination and become a high official."
Han Jinye's face was flushed, and he was a bit imaginary. People in the village always said that the number one scholar was tested for the number one scholar. In fact, he didn't know what the number one scholar was. Test. Also, since the number one scholar is stronger than his father, it must be difficult to pass the test.
But then I thought that he was so smart, even smarter than his father, so he would definitely be the number one scholar in the exam and be more promising than his father. After thinking about it for a while, confidence appeared on his face again. He puffed up his chest and said loudly, "I'm sure I'll be the champion, and I'm sure I won't embarrass my father."
Han Jinxiu kicked him twice again when he saw his snarky appearance. He jumped aside, his eyebrows wrinkled like caterpillars: "Why do you keep kicking me?"
Han Jinxiu ignored him and continued to write big characters. Can she say that she doesn't want to see him act like that? Also take the No. 1 Scholar Examination, and it would be good if you can pass the examination for scholar. But thinking about my father being a scholar, my elder brother must at least take the Juren exam, so I raised my head to look at him and said, "To ease the difficulty for you, let's take the Juren exam."
Her father is a scholar, she is not like her stupid younger brother, she doesn't know what is a champion and what is a scholar.
Han Jinye didn't appreciate it, "Who do you look down on? I won't let you ease the difficulty. I'm going to take the first prize and become a high official."
Han Jinxiu couldn't help rolling her eyes. Seeing that he was young and didn't understand anything, she made it easier for him, but she didn't expect him to be ungrateful. She said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to take the No. 1 examination and become a high official."
Han Ze glanced at the little guy with puffed cheeks, and looked at Han Jinxiu with a smile: "Jinxiu, let's remember this for him."
Han Jinxiu smiled and said, "I must remember."
Without realizing it, Han Jinye said to himself, "You don't need to remember it, I can remember it myself."
Han Ze smiled and said, "Since you want to take the number one scholar exam, let's start practicing calligraphy. The number one scholar can't have messy characters."
Han Jinye sighed, and asked in a low voice, "I, can I write later?"
Han Jinxiu pursed his lips, not hesitating to hit him: "Aren't you going to take the No. 1 Scholar exam? You can't write as many words as I do, and I'm not as good as me. You still want to take the No. 1 Scholar exam? How many No. 1 Scholars will you get in that day?"
Han Jinye shut his mouth and puffed his eyes: "I want to write seriously, it must be better than yours."
Han Jinxiu glanced at him sideways: "Then write it out and show me."
Han Jinye's face was tense, he glanced at his sister, sat on the table, picked up the brush, and said, "You wait. I'll write right away."
Han Jinxiu winked at her father, Han Ze gave her an appreciative glance, Han Jinxiu blushed slightly, lowered her head awkwardly and continued to write big characters.
Mrs. Zheng discovered that recently, her elder brother was teaching Jinxiu and Jinye to read. Thinking of the benefits of being a scholar, I discussed with my man at night: "Tomorrow, you can go talk to your elder brother and ask him to teach our Dabao by the way. Dabao is smarter than you. Maybe he will come back from the exam as a scholar in the future."
Han Erlang turned around: "You are selling Chinese cabbage when you take the exam, everyone can take the exam."
Unconvinced, Mrs. Zheng thumped his shoulder: "Of course not everyone can take the exam for being a scholar, but doesn't our eldest treasure have an uncle who is a scholar? Let his uncle be a scholar to teach him more, hopefully he will have more than others. "
Han Erlang sat up: "What you said is also reasonable. Our father can cultivate a scholar who can't read a single character. I can't read, but at least I know a few words. We two boys, one of us is good at reading, even if Both of these are not good at reading, we are still young, maybe we will have a child who can read in the future?"
Zheng Shi also thought so.
Han Erlang said: "Tomorrow, I will talk to my elder brother."
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while and said, "The eldest brother's children all have names, shouldn't our eldest treasure also have a name?"
Han Erlang thought for a while: "What's the right name?"
Zheng Shi looked at him: "I don't know."
Han Erlang held his head up and thought deeply: "We need a good name, we count on Dabao to be a scholar, why not call him Han Caixue?"
Zheng shook her head: "It doesn't sound good."
"Han Boxue?"
"This is good."
"Not suitable, Han Xuewen?"
"This is also good."
"It's called Han Xuewen."
Two children are also teaching, three children are also teaching, and they are his nephews. Han Ze has no reason not to agree to them. I found an old writing brush in the pen container, washed it and ironed it, and gave it to Dabao, who is now renamed Han Xuewen.
In the first few days, Dabao didn’t get used to the name Han Xuewen. His family called him Xuewen, but he didn’t know who he was calling. After a few days, he got used to it, so they all called him Xuewen.
There has been a lot of rain in the past few days, so I can't go to work in the field. The whole family is resting at home. The three daughters-in-law are sitting in front of the main room doing needlework, and the children are writing big characters on the desk. .
When Han Jinye and Han Wenxue heard the movement, they all looked up curiously. Only Han Jinxiu was still sitting on the table, not moving at all, writing the tasks assigned by his father neatly, stroke by stroke.
Han Ze glanced at them indifferently, Han Jinye and Han Wenxue immediately sat down, raised their pens and began to write seriously.
Aunt Yan glanced at them covertly, then looked away, but Yan Hong looked at them enviously. He is ten years old this year, and he has already finished reading the enlightenment books. It is reasonable to go to the school in the town to study, but there is no money at home. Every day, I hold a few enlightenment books and carry them back and forth.
Aunt Yan chatted with Wang Caiwei for a while, and after sitting for a while, she explained her intentions and hoped that Han Ze could accept Yan Hong as his apprentice.
Han Ze was not surprised. In the plot, Jinxiu is the heroine, and Yan Hong is not only the hero, but also the original student. He glanced at Yan Hong and thought that this is the big pig's hoof that stomped on his own cabbage, even if he didn't Knowing whether this kid has any relationship with Jinxiu in this life, he was extremely upset and didn't want to accept him, but he always liked children, looking at his envious little eyes, he didn't want to admit it, facing such a child, he My heart can't be hardened.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Jin Ye gave him the pen and paper, and asked him to write an article for me to read."
Han Jinye was overjoyed that he could finally take a rest. Han Ze glanced at him, and he hurriedly suppressed the joy in his eyes, and carefully handed the pen to Yan Hong.
Yan Hong took the pen, sat on the table, and wrote earnestly: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind..."
He wrote a word, and Han Jinye read a word. After he finished writing, he handed it to Han Ze, and stood nervously in front of Han Ze with his fists clenched.
Han Ze glanced at it casually. Although the handwriting is immature, it is already very good for his age. However, it's okay to accept him as a disciple, but you can't agree to him easily, lest he be proud. Looking at him in embarrassment, Yan Hong's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Han Ze smiled, "I'll go to the county school to study in a few days, I'm afraid I don't have time to teach you how to read. If that's the case, are you still willing to be a teacher?"
What he said was the truth, even if he was his teacher, he would not be able to spare time to teach him, so it is better to go to a school in the town to study.
Yan Hong glanced at his mother, Aunt Yan was a little hesitant, she said: "Let's go back..." Think about it.
Yan Hong hurriedly interrupted her mother's words and said, "I want to worship Mr. as my teacher."
If the husband is willing to accept him as an apprentice, he should be grateful, there is nothing to consider.
Han Ze also understood Yan's mother's thoughts, and said indifferently: "You should think carefully before coming."
After seeing off Yan's mother and son, Han Jinxiu put down his brush, looked at his father, and asked softly, "Father, are you actually willing to take Yan Hong as your apprentice?"
Han Ze was surprised, and asked her with a smile, "How do you say that?"
Han Jinxiu said: "If Dad doesn't want to accept him as an apprentice, he won't let him write. But Dad also said that he will go to the county to study in a few days. How can he have time to teach him?"
Han Ze chuckled, this child is really intelligent, he said: "You three brothers and sisters can't fall behind in their studies, father plans to rent a house in the county, and we move to live in the county, so that we can have time to teach you to read. "
He was just thinking about this matter, and he hadn't discussed it with Han Youtian yet. He thought, whether it was discussed or not, his father would definitely support the children to study.
Han Jinxiu tilted his head, frowned and asked, "Father, I still want to learn embroidery from my master. How can I go to the county town?"
Han Ze also thought about it. At that time, Jinxiu can learn embroidery from Granny Lu at home for half a month, and go to the county to study with him for half a month.
Hearing what his father said, Han Jinye's face collapsed. He still thought that when his father went to the county, he would not have to write and read every day. He didn't think that his father had no intention of letting him go. He said reluctantly: "Father, you can Aren't you going to live in the county seat?"
Han Ze put the handwriting written by Yan Hong in front of him, and said: "Look at Yan Hong's handwriting, this is the handwriting that the future champion should write, and your messy handwriting makes you feel lazy. "
If there is no accident, Yan Hong may still win the first prize in the future, and he is not wrong.
When Han Jinxiu heard what her father said, she looked over curiously: "Hey, it's really well written."
Han Ze smiled and said, "I have practiced this handwriting for at least three years. If you study hard and practice hard, you can reach this level. It depends on whether you can endure hardship."
Han Jinxiu was aroused to be competitive, and said unconvinced: "I'm sure I can endure hardship." After speaking, he looked at his younger brother.
Han Jinye curled his lips, looking at what I was looking at, I, I didn't say, I can't endure hardships, he puffed up his chest: "I'm sure I can endure hardships, I want to be the champion."
Han Ze patted his little head: "Our future No. 1 scholar, hurry up and practice calligraphy. Don't just talk and do nothing. If you do that, you will fail the No. 1 exam."
Han Jinye was weeping, why did he insist on saying that he was going to be the No. 1 Scholar? Why does he have to be so strong?
In the evening, Han Ze told Han Youtian and his elders about his plan, and Han Youtian did not object. On the contrary, Mrs. Zheng was very reluctant. When she thought that her elder brother's family had moved to the county town, Xuewen would definitely go to the county town if she wanted to study with her elder brother. She would have to stay away from her parents at a young age.
Han Erlang was also quite reluctant, but there was nothing he could do about it, and comforted him: "Sister-in-law will not treat Xuewen badly."
Mrs. Zheng also knew that she would not treat Xuewen badly with her sister-in-law's temperament, but Xuewen had never left them, so she was reluctant for a while, and she thought about it: "Why don't you send Xuewen to study in a school in the town? "
Han Erlang frowned: "That's a waste of money."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng felt unreliable, and lamented, "Forget it."
For the sake of the child, she endured it.
Han Erlang didn't expect her to understand, he said: "If you really miss the child, I will take you to the county to see him then."
On the second day, the mother and son of the Yan family came to the door again, holding the ceremony of appreciating teachers in their hands. Since he wanted to worship him as a teacher, Han Ze had to be responsible to him, and said bluntly: "I will go to the county to study in a few days, have you thought about what to do?"
Yan Hong thought for a while and said: "Master is willing to accept me as an apprentice, and I have some plans. I will listen to Master."
Han Ze nodded in satisfaction and said, "When I get to the county seat, I will rent a yard. After I settle down, your teacher's wife and the others will move in. You can come here together."
When Yan's mother heard this, she thought it was a good idea, and said, "It's just that the child is still young, so I need to bother you sir."
Han Ze waved his hand and said, "Since he has been accepted as an apprentice, there is nothing to worry about."
As for whether this apprentice will be the official spouse of his own daughter, it depends on whether they are destined, he will not stop him, and of course he will not take the initiative to propose a marriage. If you want to marry Han Ze's daughter, even if she is his apprentice, you have to rely on your own ability.
Yan's mother nodded with a smile, Master Master, she will be a teacher for a day and a father for life, so she is no longer polite.
Han Ze smiled and said, "I don't intend to teach you new knowledge these few days, let's practice calligraphy at home today, use my brush first, and prepare paper and pen tomorrow."
Their family is not well-off, and there are three students. Yan Hongjin can provide the books for his studies, but they need to prepare the pens and papers themselves.
Yan Hong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes, Master."
Han Ze handed him the pen, he found a place to sit down, and began to write. He wrote very seriously, even more serious than Han Jinxiu. Han Ze nodded repeatedly, as expected of the future champion.
Han Jinye watched his movements and compared secretly, no wonder even his father said that Yan Hong was able to win the first prize, just because of his serious appearance, he was better than him, but Han Jinye's father was a scholar, how could he admit that others were better than him? Thinking of this, he also wrote seriously, and he must not be compared by Yan Hong.
Han Jinxiu, who has always been serious about studying, raised his head at this time, looked at his younger brother with interest, and then looked at Yan Hong, deeply feeling that his father was scheming, Jin Ye was naturally smart, but he was also playful, and he needed his father to read and practice handwriting. Remind me by ear, otherwise I will be lazy and fail to complete the task assigned by my father.
Compared with Yan Hong, who is hard-working and hard-working, it will show his inadequacy, but Jin Ye is so strong that even she is not convinced, let alone Yan Hong, who was immediately aroused to compete.
All morning, Han Jinye didn't go out to play, and competed with Yan Hong like a competition. After Yan Hong finished writing a big character, he followed suit.
At noon, Yan Hong returned home. Han Jinxiu smiled and said, "Father, I know why you took Yan Hong as your apprentice."
Han Ze patted her on the head, and said amusedly, "Then tell me, why did Dad accept him as an apprentice?"
Han Jinxiu tilted his head: "Is it to motivate my brother?"
Han Ze wanted to say, girl, you think too much. Your father agreed to take Yan Hong as his apprentice just because his head was hot for a while. As for accepting Yan Hong, Jin Ye's competitive spirit would be aroused, so that he could calm down to read and practice handwriting, which was an unexpected gain.
However, he definitely couldn't say that. He glanced at her and said seriously, "Did you not finish writing the big characters in the morning?"
Han Jinxiu stuck out her tongue. She was only focused on seeing her younger brother and Yan Hong in the morning, which delayed her handwriting practice.
Han Ze glanced at her and asked, "Are you going to learn embroidery from Grandma Lu this afternoon?"
Han Jinxiu nodded.
Han Ze said: "It seems that father accepting Yan Hong as a disciple has both advantages and disadvantages."
Han Jinxiu blinked, "What harm?"
Han Ze raised his eyebrows: "Jin Ye was aroused by him to be competitive, but you have never delayed your studies, but because of Yan Hong's arrival, you failed to complete the task assigned by your father. Isn't this harmful?"
Han Jinxiu made a small sound. Han Ze ordered lightly: "Come back at night and fill up the rest of the big characters before going to bed."
Han Jinxiu said oh.
Just as Han Ze was packing his bags and preparing to leave for the county seat, Doctor Wang and brother-in-law Wang came to Han's house. The two families were at a stalemate, and the old couple Han Youtian didn't understand their reason for coming. Doctor Wang didn't say much, and said bluntly: "The two children want to reconcile, let me ask you what you mean."
Mrs. Han said frankly: "We have broken away from Da Ya, and she doesn't need to ask for our opinions on what she wants to do."
Even if Da Ya divorced, she would not let her go back home. Of course, based on Da Ya's hatred for her natal family, she might not be willing to go back to her natal family. Thinking of what she did to Han Ze, she couldn't feel any pain for this girl, even if she wanted to reconcile, she had no idea.
Doctor Wang sighed, knowing that what Han Daya did was too vicious, it is normal for the Han family not to care about her. However, whether the Han family recognizes Daya Han is a matter for the Han family. They were married to the Han family at the beginning, and now that the two children are reconciling, he must tell the Han family so that they don't know about it.
