The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 254

Zhang Xiaohua expressed her understanding and nodded.

"I know, Mother always hoped that my uncle could be admitted as a scholar, so I have worked so hard for so many years. Now that my uncle did not pass the exam, you are disappointed. You feel that your hard work has been in vain, don't you feel bad?"

Zhao was startled and sighed.

"It's a pity for your uncle. Your father said that your uncle is the smartest among your uncles. As long as he studies hard, he will definitely pass the exam and become a high-ranking official. How can he come back to farm!"

"Mother, being smart doesn't necessarily mean you can study well, and studying well doesn't necessarily mean you can pass the exam, and even if you pass the exam, you can't be a high-ranking official, and being a high-ranking official isn't necessarily a good thing!"

Zhao Shi gave her a reproachful look.

"You just know how to play tricks on your mother! What do you know!"

Zhang Xiaohua said seriously.

"Mother, I didn't understand it before, but since I heard what the elder brother said about the school, I understand."

"About the school? What did your elder brother say to you?" Mrs. Zhao remembered what her sister-in-law said again, and lost her energy.

"Brother said that the school used to be a high official's house. Later, the high official committed a crime, and the house was changed into a school. You don't think it's a good thing to be a high official."

"If you say you don't understand, you still don't believe it. If it's really not a good thing to be a high-ranking official, people in the world won't be able to study, and they won't have to squeeze their heads to take the exam! The high-ranking officials you said are still a minority. Also, say Maybe he is a bad official who only commits crimes by harming the common people!"

"What mother said makes sense." Zhang Xiaohua giggled, "I didn't expect mother to understand this!"

Mrs. Zhao gave her another look.

"I really thought your mother didn't understand anything!"

"That's right, the elder brother said he asked the second elder brother to study because he was afraid that you and father would not agree."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao showed bitterness.

"Which parents don't want to see their children is good, but it's difficult!"

Finally mentioned the topic, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly asked.

"What's the problem? Mother, are you worried about money?"

"Yeah, everything costs money, and studying costs money even more. You don't know, when your uncle studies, there is nothing left of his year's harvest except for food."

"How did Mother know? Mother doesn't care about money."

Mrs. Zhao looked at her with a complicated tone.

"I know you blame your grandma, but your grandma's housekeeper is very good. Your father told me how much you sold the harvest and how much you gave your uncle. Naturally, mother knows how much money is left. This family eats, drinks, and exchanges favors. Those who were sick and suffering from long-term disasters all depended on your grandma's careful planning to survive. In the days when you were kidnapped, you didn't even hire someone to look for you, but they helped you with food and drink. Isn't it all money? Tell your heart, if you are a mother , I don’t see anything better than your grandma’s.”

This kind of temperament makes Zhang Xiaohua respectful. Although bad people are bad, they also have good aspects that are worth learning from. We can't ignore the good aspects of others just because they are bad. After all, ignoring them represents your loss.

"Mother can learn, but I don't want my mother to plan so carefully that we can't get enough to eat every day."

Zhao smiled wryly.

"How did the countrymen save that little money? It's not saved from their mouths. But that's the case, your uncle has to rely on the support of a large family to study, and your second brother can only rely on your father and mother to study, mother really I'm afraid, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to confess." She said in a low voice.

"Mom, is this what you're worried about?"

This is why Mrs. Zhao is so preoccupied, isn't it?

Mrs. Zhao had already opened up the conversation box, so she continued talking.

"At first, I wasn't worried. Your elder brother has someone to read, and your second brother, I didn't think so much at first. Later, your uncle stopped reading. I thought the whole family could help your second brother." Speaking of Zhao Shi emphasized, "Your father and I have been supporting your uncle for so many years, do you think your uncle should also help support your second brother?"

Zhang Xiaohua really didn't expect this.

She is used to relying on herself in everything, and she was raised by her parents in modern times, without other people's involvement. She ignored the low productivity in ancient times, and many things were done by one family, one family, such as reading.

In fact, in modern times, in the early days, some college students had to rely on the whole village for their education. This is the background of many stories about Phoenix men.

Zhao continued.

"But yesterday your aunt came and said that we should pay for it ourselves. My heart was cold at that time! Your grandparents are getting old and can't work harder. I can't say anything, but what about your uncle, your aunt Said that he is married and has his own family to support, so he can't help. What about us, we also have to support our family, why do you ask us to provide for your uncle, why! It's not fair!"

Hearing this sentence of unfairness, Zhang Xiaohua let out a sigh. It was really not easy. Mrs. Zhao finally said it was unfair, and her enlightenment during this time was not in vain.

"What mother said was that it would be fine if you didn't offer uncle, but you have offered uncle uncle for so many years..."

"13 years." Mrs. Zhao said, "Your elder brother is twelve years old. I had your elder brother when I married, exactly 13 years old."

Zhang Xiaohua is also old-fashioned and authentic.

"How many decades do you have in your life, let alone your youngest ten years. Father and mother, you have given the best years to my uncle, and now I need my uncle's help, and my uncle can't shirk it."

"Yes, that's what I thought, isn't Mother right?" Zhao seemed to be in urgent need of finding someone who would recognize her.

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head.

"Mother is right. But mother doesn't have to care about what the old lady said, just ask dad to tell uncle, and see what uncle means, isn't it all right?"

"Your father!" Zhao sneered, "You can ask him to do anything for your uncle, but asking your uncle to do something for him will be worse than killing him!"

Zhang Xiaohua sighed. If there are 360 ​​kinds of strange flowers, Zhang Boss is one of them. Such a person's brain circuit is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Is it okay for the mother to talk to my uncle?"

She and Zhang Daniu are both juniors, so it's inappropriate to say that this matter should be said by her cheap father, but her father can't, so it can only be Zhao's.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so it's okay to ask my uncle to help my nephew study.

Zhang Xiaohua's words of "don't care about my old aunt" directly asked Uncle Zhang, which made Zhao's mood completely bright. Yes, she didn't need my aunt to pay for it. As a married girl, she could still take care of her mother's affairs. uncle.

And my uncle has always given her a good impression, so he probably won't refuse.

The more you think about it, the more you are right, the more you think about it, the more feasible it is.

On the other hand, I also feel a little bit emotional, why didn't I think of it, I am not as good as a child!
The child helped her solve the problem, and Mrs. Zhao couldn't help asking for advice again.

"Then when do you think mother will tell your uncle?"

"When does mother want to say it?"

"I don't know." Mrs. Zhao was a little embarrassed. "Let's talk about it now. Tomorrow is your uncle's big day. I don't think it's very good. But if I wait for a while, I'm afraid... I don't know what your little aunt is like." people."

Zhao's worries are unreasonable.

Once this person has a family, it’s different. If there is any matter, especially money, you always have to discuss it with the other half.

If my uncle's daughter-in-law disagrees, it probably won't work either.
