Chapter 24 Admission
At dawn the next day, everyone in the Xu family got up. Today, the men of the family were taking their children to enroll in a school in the town, and they had to get up early to make breakfast.

The seven brothers and sisters came to the yard to start morning exercises. The training time this morning was a quarter of an hour longer than last night, and several boys also persisted.

After the training was over, everyone was sweating and breathing heavily. Qibao gave everyone a bowl of spiritual spring water to relieve their fatigue, and then asked them to go back and wipe their sweat. Then the boys put on new clothes and left. It's out.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have already brought the prepared breakfast into the main room. Today, Wang made a pot of white rice porridge, a pot of shredded potatoes mixed with Qibao's recipe, two plates of pickles, and a boiled egg for each person, which is both nutritious and nutritious. tasty.

After dinner, Uncle Xu took the boys to the entrance of the village and got on Xu Dafu's ox cart. There were not many villagers on the ox cart today. At this time, a little girl on the ox cart excitedly shouted, "Qibao, come sit next to me. ." Qibao looked closely, and it turned out to be Xu Hua'er, the granddaughter of Grandpa Dafu and the original owner's best friend. He sat next to her with a smile, "Qibao, are you okay now? I've always wanted to go and see her. As for you, my grandma won't let me go to you, saying that I'm afraid that I will delay your recovery, and I miss you so much!" Xu Hua'er held Qibao and beamed with joy, she finally met her good friend.

Qibao also said happily, "Hua'er, I'm fine now. If you miss me in the future, just come to my house to find me and we can play together."

"Okay, I heard that your family is going to build a new house? My grandfather also called my father back from town and planned to help your family with the work! Is it true?" Hua'er asked Qibao curiously.

Qibao replied, "It's true. When the house is built, I will invite you to visit my house." After hearing Qibao's words, Hua'er happily agreed.

The villagers in the car were also curious about the fact that the Xu family had money to build a new house. Listening to the chat between the two little girls, they followed the words and asked Uncle Xu with a smile, "Yifeng, congratulations, when the house will be built." Well, we're going to have a wedding drink!" The villagers in the car all laughed.

Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Uncle, it's no problem. I'll have enough wine by then, so feel free to drink with all your heart!"

An aunt sitting next to her smiled and said, "We must go, and don't be reluctant to leave when the time comes!" Then she looked at the seven children of the Xu family sitting in the car and said, "Why did you take all the children at home today?" Brought it?"

Uncle Xu replied, "Ms. Qin, it's like this. The children at home are not young anymore. I want to send them to the academy to study. They will be better off than digging in the dirt in the future!"

The people on the oxcart looked at each other in shock for a while, and Aunt Qin said, "Hey, it costs several carts of silver to repair this school in a year! With so many children in your family, it costs dozens of taels a year, not counting paper and ink." , and now you have to build a house again, it seems your family has made a fortune! No wonder my grandson said two days ago that he saw your family pulling an oxcart of things back, it turns out it is true."

Uncle Xu smiled and said, "My family is cooperating with the Zuixian Building in the town, so I have some money on hand. Otherwise, there would be no money to build a new house, let alone send the children to school!"

The villagers in the car were full of envy. Zuixian Restaurant was a big restaurant. They didn’t even dare to look at it. They heard that one dish in it was worth their monthly salary. Old Xu’s family even talked to Zuixian Lou cooperated, which is incredible!An uncle joked, "Yifeng, when you get rich in the future, don't forget about us poor villagers in the same village!" He laughed!

Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Everyone is joking. No matter what happens to my family in the future, we are still from Xujia Village. If you have any difficulties in the future, our family will lend a hand to anyone who can help!"

The oxcart arrived at the gate of the town amidst everyone's joking. After Qibao said goodbye to Hua'er, Uncle Xu took him off the oxcart. He said goodbye to the villagers and then headed towards their destinations.

Uncle Xu was holding Qibao, and the boys were following closely behind their father and uncle, looking around curiously.

Uncle Xu took the children and walked all the way towards the academy. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the academy, it was the time when the academy students were entering the academy one after another. Qibao looked at these students. They were all walking in groups and discussing what the master had done in yesterday’s class. What is said.Qibao secretly nodded. It seemed that the students in this academy got along very well with each other, and the learning atmosphere was also very good. He hoped that his brothers would also be infected, but they could not become nerds who only knew how to study.

Uncle Xu found the wife from yesterday and said, "Hello, Master, I am the villager who wanted to send my children to school yesterday. Today I have brought my children."

The master turned around and said, "Remember, my surname is Sun, just call me Master Sun." After saying that, he looked at the children, pointed at Xiaoliu and said, "This little guy looks like he is under seven years old. We will send him to him when he is old enough." bring it on!"

"Yes, I just brought this child out to play. I don't plan to let him go to school. I wonder what procedures I need to go through?" Uncle Xu asked.

"Please follow me to see the dean." Master Sun said, leading the way.

Under the leadership of Master Sun, everyone came to a quiet courtyard, where they saw an old man over sixty years old flipping through a historical book at his desk.

"Dean, there are a few farm children coming to enroll, so they came here to go through the admission procedures." Master Sun said with a hint of respect.

The dean looked up at the children and asked, "Can you read?"

As the eldest Xu Wenwu saw the dean asking questions, he stepped forward, bent down and saluted, "Young man knows a few simple words."

When the dean saw that the child who was talking was probably around ten years old, although he entered school a little late at this age, he seemed neither humble nor arrogant, and he knew etiquette. The younger ones also looked good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, how about you guys?" I have accepted them all, and you are not allowed to cause trouble in the academy from now on. If you have anything you don’t understand from the books, you can ask me."

Xu Wenwu looked happy when he heard the dean's words. He bent down and said, "Thank you, Master. The student will study hard and will not disappoint the dean." The dean nodded with satisfaction.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Xu stepped forward and took out 25 taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the dean respectfully. The dean then asked the names of several children and registered them in the book so that they could be sent to the academy on time tomorrow morning. , and then signaled everyone to leave.

When everyone left the academy, they saw Xu Wenwu happily saying, "Dad, I can finally go to the academy to study. I'm so happy!"

Seeing that his son was so happy, Uncle Xu said, "From now on, you must study hard when you enter the academy. Do you understand what Master said? And you guys, you can't be like at home in the academy. You must understand etiquette. Do you understand?" The boys all agreed in unison.

Qibao said, "Uncle, now that my brothers are going to school, do they need to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones? I also need to buy an ox cart so that my brothers can go to school in their own ox cart and go to Zuixian in the future." You can’t always go to the village chief’s house to borrow a bullock cart when delivering food to the building!”
