After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Ye Chenjing looked helpless, "Dad, can you please wait for me a little longer?"

Boss Ye said confidently, "What's the problem? I've never been to you before."

"I don't know either. The teacher didn't tell me." Ye Chenjing was also confused.

Boss Ye didn't ask any more questions, but he felt a little uneasy. He thought about everything that had happened recently in his mind, and was relieved when he found that nothing was excessive.

The next day, Ye Chenjing had a day off, and Boss Ye drove a ox cart to the city alone.

I bought a few things and went to the teacher's house.

When he arrived at Master Jiang's place, Boss Ye bowed respectfully.

"Master Jiang, did your child make you angry? If the child makes a mistake, you should just teach him a lesson."

Master Jiang knew that Boss Ye had misunderstood, "The children behaved very well, I am not criticizing them."

Boss Ye was even more confused. If it wasn't the child's fault, could it be his fault? He didn't know how to teach the child to read.

Master Jiang continued, "I'm here to discuss this with you. Several of these children have been studying here for more than a year, and they studied there for two years before coming to the private school. Do you have any ideas for letting them try this year?"

After hearing this, Boss Ye looked up in surprise, and then he was ecstatic.

"Master, is it possible? I've only been studying for a short time." Boss Ye was so excited that he was incoherent.

Master Jiang glanced at Boss Ye. Even though he was so old, he was still not as steady as a child. He hadn't finished speaking yet.

"That's why I called you here to discuss this. Several of the children are still a little short of the mark this year. If their families can support it, let them experience the exam atmosphere. It will be beneficial to them in the future."

After hearing this, Boss Ye calmed down a little, and his overwhelmed mind began to think, carefully asking about the specific performance of the children.

Master Jiang saw that Boss Ye was not so excited anymore, so he released another message.

"If you're lucky, maybe one or two of them can pass the Tongsheng exam."

Boss Ye's mind exploded again, and only the word "Tongsheng" was circling in his mind.

Kaoshan Village had not produced a scholar for decades, but before the famine, several nearby villages had scholars and juren.

Whatever benefits the county brings have nothing to do with their village, and no one helps them speak for themselves in the county government.

This is also the reason why the village head goes to the county government to pay taxes after selling charcoal every year. He wants to get his name registered with the county magistrate to increase his presence so that he can think of relying on the village when good things happen.

"Master, I will go back and discuss how to treat the children well. What should we do? We must support them in their studies even if we have to sell everything we have."

Master Jiang stroked his beard and was very satisfied with Boss Ye’s attitude. He was optimistic about the children and wanted to consider some aspects for them.

Ye Lao Da said goodbye to the teacher and went home in a daze. On the way, someone greeted him, but he didn't hear it.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he rubbed his face and then went home with a normal look on his face.

On the way, I met Wang Jun who was working in the fields with a hoe on his back, and we chatted for a while.

After arriving home, Ye Chenjing secretly observed Boss Ye's facial expression. Seeing that he had a stern face, he felt a pang in his heart.

"Wulang, go to your aunt's house and call your aunt and uncle over, and then call your second uncle and third uncle." After giving the instructions, Boss Ye went to the kitchen to eat first.

Ye Chenjing didn't dare to delay and went to Sun's house to call his aunt and uncle first.

"Wulang, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious? Are your grandparents okay?" The aunt first doubted the health of the two elderly people, put down the rag in her hand, and was about to go out.

"Aunt, grandpa and grandma are fine. My father just came back from the private school and asked me to call you." After saying that, he went out to his two uncles' homes.

Ye Qiu slowed down his pace when he heard that the two old people were fine. But when he heard that they went to the private school, he quickened his pace again.

Sun Dazhui was chasing Ye Qiu with his daughter in his arms. He was also worried that his two sons were not studying well in the private school.

After hearing what Ye Chenjing said, Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye put down their work and rushed to Ye's house.

Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye were not slow to arrive either, entering the door one after the other.

At this time, Old Man Ye also came back from the mountain. Seeing several children coming, he thought something had happened at home.

"What's going on, Boss?"

Boss Ye had just finished his meal when he heard Old Man Ye’s question.

"Dad, I was just about to look for you. Come in, I want to tell you something."

Ye Chenjing brought water from the kitchen to a few people. Although he was curious, Boss Ye did not keep him, so he could only go back to his room to review his lessons.

Ye Qing quickly returned to the house, picked up her clothes, sat at the door to sew clothes, and listened attentively to the conversation in the room.

"Brother, why are you calling us here so urgently? Did Master Jiang say anything?" Ye Qiu asked anxiously. The Sun family now has high expectations for their two sons.

"I do have something to discuss with you. Dad, please help me make a decision." Boss Ye looked at Old Man Ye.

Old man Ye doesn't talk much, but he is the one who makes the decisions at home when something big happens.

Seeing Old Man Ye nod, Boss Ye continued, "The Master wants to let a few kids take the test. Their chances of passing are slim, but he wants them to get a feel for the test atmosphere."

The room was quiet, and no one reacted. They couldn't believe that they had only studied for a year and were already leaving.

Wei spoke first, "Brother, why are you hesitating? Since the teacher said so, let's let them try. If they pass, the family will be happy. If they fail, it will let the children know their own strengths and weaknesses and study hard in the future."

Others also began to express their opinions, all wanting their children to try. Now the family has some spare money, enough for several children to take the exam once.

Old man Ye's hands were shaking a little. When he was young, he sent his three sons to school, but they had no talent and returned home to farm after two years.

When the grandchildren were in school, their family was poor and they could only study for two years. They only dared to keep the idea of ​​changing their family's status to themselves.

This time, Master Jiang took the initiative to let a few children try it. Does it mean that the children do have some talent?

Boss Ye looked at Old Man Ye's excitement and didn't dare to say anything more. He was afraid that the old man would get too excited and faint.

"Send the eldest son to take the exam. We will listen to the teacher. You don't have enough money, so I will pay for it." Old man Ye was determined to send his children to take the exam.

After hearing what Boss Ye said, several families were willing in their hearts. When Old Man Ye said this, they quickly refused. It was not easy for the elderly to save some money, so they didn't care.

"Dad's family is rich, and the money distributed by the village is still kept at home." Ye Laoer spoke first, and the others nodded in agreement.

Old Man Ye calmed down and said, "Don't put too much pressure on your children when you go back. Let nature take its course and let them do as they please."

Several families agreed and promised to only encourage and not suppress them when they returned.

Ye Qing listened to the whole thing and understood it. His brothers studied very hard, and when they were selling Spring Festival couplets, they would take a book and recite them when they had free time.

There is no harm in taking this exam. Only after taking it can you know your weaknesses. Some people have poor psychological endurance during the exam and cannot perform at their usual level.
