Li Erhu chuckled and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Oh, I forgot."

Datou looked at the bonfire and spoke slowly: "A title is a title, and fame is fame. My father earned this title, and I want to earn it for myself based on my own ability."

When everyone heard this, they praised him repeatedly: "Datou, you are so smart. You are the smartest person in our village. You can definitely do it."

The other person nodded: "Yes, my mother said that you will definitely be the number one scholar in the future."

"My mother also asked me to learn from you."

Datou is almost regarded by the villagers as a template for the teenagers and an object of study. He is a typical child from other families.

"Jin Xiuyi, what about you? Do you want to be a doctor like Dr. Jin in the future?" Li Erhu looked at Jin Xiuyi, a friend he didn't know.

Jin Xiuyi shrugged: "I'd better forget it. I read a few medical books with my grandfather when I was a child. Although I also like to study medicine, brother Wen is here now, so my grandfather doesn't care. If you fall in love with me, you won’t learn anymore.”

Everyone looked at him when they heard what he said.

"Then what will you do next?"

Jin Xiuyi thought about it carefully and said, "Didn't Sister Yaoyao say that knowledge changes destiny? I want everyone in the world to be able to read and write."

Wow.

The young people all exclaimed in exclamation, looking at Jin Xiu Yi with admiration in their eyes.

"It will be difficult." The seventh prince said quietly. The issue of class has existed for thousands of years. It cannot be changed with just one sentence. Reading changes destiny. Indeed, everyone knows this truth, but if you can really read, In the end, only a few people achieved fame.

Everyone thinks that studying is the way out, but in the end, there are only a few who can persist. Not only do they need financial support, but the years of studying must also be taken into account. Many families may be extremely poor throughout their lives, and they must scrimp on food and clothing to provide for a scholar. , and how many returned without success in the end.

Jin Xiuyi just smiled: "Sir, he also said that it is definitely difficult, but there are many difficult things in this world, and someone must overcome this difficulty."

"However, not everyone can change by studying. There are many students in the world, and there are only a few who can be admitted to the imperial examination, and finally bring glory to the family." The seventh prince continued.

It's not that he wants to pour cold water on it, but that's how everything in the world is.

Jin Xiuyi looked at him: "Who said that you must get fame by studying?"

The seventh prince was stunned.

Jin Xiuyi pointed to the friends around him: "Aren't they also studying? But not everyone will take part in the imperial examination in the future. Studying is just for people to increase their knowledge, and the imperial examination is not the only way to study. There is a way out, there are still many roads to take.

Doing the same thing with and without reading is definitely different. Even if you work as a long-term worker outside, will your salary be higher than others if you are educated and literate?

Just like the big fat family, raising ducks and geese, there are a lot of things to learn, record the growth of ducks, what is the growth cycle of each cage of ducks and geese, these are not all things that can be used after studying. thing? "

The seventh prince was stunned. The concept of studying for so many years was broken by Jin Xiuyi at this moment, as if a shackles were opened, a shackles exclusive to scholars who only had the imperial examination.

"Hehe, does what I said make sense?" Seeing his expression, Jin Xiuyi stepped forward and said with a smile.

The seventh prince nodded. He couldn't refute it. What Jin Xiuyi said made sense. If someone studies for the imperial examination, can it also be for other goals? Just like these teenagers in the village, for what they will do in the future, for the sake of gaining more knowledge and insights.

"Then are you going to open a school in the future?" asked the boy who just said that his teacher said he had talent.

Jin Xiuyi nodded: "Well, that's what I think. Open a school where everyone can read and write."

The young man was extremely excited: "Then when I grow up, I will be a teacher in your school."

"Okay."

All the teenagers laughed together, and Li Erhu looked at Xie Anyi again: "Xie Anyi, what about you?"

Xie Anyi rubbed his two fingers and smiled: "Me, I want to learn how to do business with my mother, make a lot of money in the future, and then help Jin Xiuyi open a school together throughout Annan."

No one thought he was joking, because everyone knew that his mother was really rich.

Everyone asked Guan Shengrui again. Guan Shengrui is very simple. From now on, he will do whatever Datou does. If Datou wants to be an official, then he will be an official. If Datou wants to do business, then he will also do business.

Datou looked at this brother speechlessly, full of helplessness.

In the end, everyone talked about their dreams for the future. Li Erhu looked at the Seventh Prince, the relative they had brought back.

No one in the village knew the identity of the seventh prince. They only knew that he was a relative of the Wen family, and they all called him Xiaoqi.

"Xiaoqi, what about you? What do you want to do when you grow up?"

"Me?" The seventh prince pointed at himself, he didn't know.

But when he met everyone's eyes, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

He wants to realize everything everyone says and make their dreams come true, and he knows very well that he is qualified to fight for their efforts, even if the qualification is small and the chance is slim. , and even the thorns along the way, it is more likely that he will not reach that day at all.

He was afraid of his own thoughts, but when he saw the burning eyes of the young men looking at him, the seventh prince suddenly gained a little more courage.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Datou was worried that it would burden him psychologically, so he changed the topic: "Are the potatoes ripe?"

Li Erhu understood instantly and hurriedly picked it up: "Oh, I almost forgot. Hurry up, dustpan, sift out the ash on top, and dip it in the chili noodles made by Sister Yaoyao. It's so delicious. I'm so greedy. , when you were not at home, the chili noodles my mother made didn’t taste like this at all.”

Everyone laughed and went to rescue the potatoes from the ashes of the firewood.

Da Tou glanced at the Seventh Prince on the side, and said in a low voice: "Don't feel any psychological pressure, everyone, there is no harm, they just don't know your identity."

The seventh prince looked at his clear and translucent eyes and nodded: "I know."

"Yeah." Datou just hummed and said nothing more.

The seventh prince suddenly whispered next to him: "I want everyone to become better. I want everyone to have enough food, clothing, and books to read."

Datou's hand holding the stick paused and he said, "Then you should work hard for this goal."

The Seventh Prince whispered: "But now... I'm not even qualified to compete."

Datou looked at the fire in front of him: "Qualifications are always given by yourself. If you don't fight for them, how do you know you have no chance?"

The seventh prince was startled and looked at him sharply.

The firelight reflected on Da Tou's face. The little boy was obviously younger than him, but Da Tou's face was calm and calm at this moment, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.

In his surprise, Datou handed over a peeled potato: "Eat it, it won't taste good after a while."

Many years later, the Seventh Prince still clearly remembered that a group of teenagers sat together and talked about their dreams today, and everyone had been working hard for what they said today.

At that time, they were already separated, and they were far apart, but they never had the chance to sit around the campfire and talk freely like they did today.
