Poison doctor Niangzi Shanlihan

Chapter 1103 Being ridiculed by classmates

"I know, I knew it a long time ago." Zhao Zifu pursed his lips and muttered depressingly.

These days, in order to leave this account and that account to the second brother to pay, mother just deducted the money for his studies and refused to pay.

If it wasn't for failing to hand in Shuxiu, she would be suspended from school, and my mother would not be willing to take Shuxiu out. Fortunately, their imperial examination class handed in Shuxiu once every six months, and once it was handed in the first half of the year.

After all, unlike other village children who dropped out of school at any time in the past few years, they all decided to take the imperial examination. Naturally, they cannot be left to fish for three days and hang nets for two days.

Otherwise, maybe he has dropped out of school and stayed at home to go fishing every day.

"It's good to know, and cherish the hard-won things."

"As for the county examination next year, I will try my best while I am young and do my best. As the saying goes, people are not frivolous and waste youth. You have to believe in yourself, as long as you work hard, nothing is impossible."

Seeing that Zhao Zifu understood it, Lin Xiaofu reminded him again that it can be used to encourage young people to be more confident, even if they are a little arrogant, it doesn't matter.

"It's not that easy. In addition to pen and ink, you also need to read a lot. Although you don't need to read ten thousand volumes of books, you have to read the contents of some books in the imperial examination several times."

"But I only have a few books, and I only buy a few sets of books a year. The rest depends on what my master says. We copy back some and count."

Zhao Zifu expressed his grievance and helplessness.

Who made him come from a farming family? Only rich people can afford books, so they can read them at any time. They can only rely on their masters to memorize them, and then copy them after memorizing them.

"How did Luo Yang and Lin Yinbao do it? How many books have you classmates saved?" Seeing him like this, Lin Xiaofu thought about it, and asked quickly.

"Luo Yang's family is in a good family. Father and brother don't hesitate to provide for him. Naturally, they have more books than me. Lin Yinbao's family runs a grocery store, and the land is no less than ours. At present, it is only for him alone. It's still early for the younger one."

Zhao Zifu was even more aggrieved when he said it. Obviously his family is not bad, and his two brothers are not bad, so why is he much poorer than his classmates?
Now he can't even afford to buy pens and inks, so he was laughed at by his classmates for a while.

"Since you have decided to take the imperial examination, there is still a long way to go, why don't you discuss it with your classmates tomorrow and make a bibliography of the books you have on hand."

"Looking at what books are missing, each person will share some, no matter how much depends on their own ability, and when the time comes to borrow and share with each other, won't they save a lot of money on buying books?"

"Your second brother once said that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. When the time comes, you can copy it yourself. You will not only memorize the book, but also save the money to buy the book. The road is long and hard. You must be prepared to fight a protracted war. Just go forward."

Lin Xiaofu said his thoughts, Zhao Zifu blinked, looked at Lin Xiaofu in disbelief, thought for a while, and then grinned.

"What the second sister-in-law said is that I will tell them tomorrow that I don't have enough paper. It is yellow bamboo paper. You can buy me a knife and come back tomorrow."

"However, you can't use this paper for copying books. It's too bad, and it's not easy to keep it for a long time." Zhao Zifu urged.

"Understood, you will go to my house with Lu'er to get food after school tomorrow, and we won't come here anymore, we are busy."

Lin Xiaofu smiled, then turned around and pulled Zhao Zicheng to leave, reminding him again.

After hearing this, Zhao Zifu naturally agreed happily, watching his second elder brother and second sister-in-law leave, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
