"Is Hongkang really qualified?" the clan leader asked.
Xiao Zhengning said: "It doesn't matter if you are not qualified, my nephew will watch from the side; if there are any mistakes, I will make them up in time."
The clan leader thought about it again and again and said calmly, "I can't make up my mind about this matter. You and I will go and see Li Zheng and the village chief. You can tell them face to face that if they have no objection, this matter can be done."
"Uncle Youlao clan."
"It should."
The clan leader led Xiao Zhengning out, first went to see the village chief, and then went with the village chief to see Li Zheng.
After hearing their purpose, Li Zheng said: "Xiao Hongkang is eleven years old this year, right?"
"Thirty-one years old in the twelfth lunar month." Xiao Zhengning replied.
"Eleven years old is not too young. If you are confident, let him try. If he can really take care of him, you will be more relaxed." Li Zheng also hoped that Xiao Hongkang would be a good seedling, and it would be time for the Xiao family to rise up.
After leaving Li Zheng's house, Xiao Zhengning thanked him again and again. After returning home, he called his eldest son to the study. After talking alone for more than half an hour, the father and son went out to eat one after another.
After the meal, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao took the luggage packed for the children and sent them to the door.
Xiao Zhengrong led Xiao Daya back from abroad, "Mom, eldest brother and sister-in-law."
"Hello, second uncle." The three brothers and sisters said in unison.
Xiao Zhengrong reluctantly smiled at the three of them. He lowered his head and looked at the unhappy eldest daughter next to him. Feelings came to his heart again; a good wife was so important, but it was a pity that he understood it too late. Xiao Zhengrong's voice was fierce as he slapped Xiao Daya.
"Call someone, I'm mute."
Xiao Daya's eyes were red, and she looked up at them, snorting and turning her head away; there was no oil lamp in the small dark room, it was pitch black, and the windows were sealed tightly. She was frightened inside, always afraid of ghosts and other unknown things. She was afraid of being in a strange environment, and there was a man outside the door reading the female ring.
I read it over and over again, and I couldn't sleep well all night.
Minghua tilted her head and asked, pretending to be confused: "What's wrong with my eldest cousin? Are you crying? Don't you want to go to school?"
If a child stays up all night, he or she will not develop dark circles, but will be listless at most. People who often stay up late will easily develop dark circles.
Xiao Daya glared at her angrily, too bad, Xiao Sanya was too bad; what if her father really didn't let her go to school?
"No, I like reading, I want to read."
"Why are you so fierce? My cousin provoked you, don't you know how to speak properly?" Xiao Zhengrong reprimanded sternly, "Look at Sanya, look at you again, you don't have any sense of being a sister; Sanya knows I care about your sister, but you still don’t know what’s good or bad.”
Xiao Daya felt that Xiao Sanya had no good intentions, so she snorted and turned her head away.
Mrs. Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't like Sanya, don't go to the county school with Zhengning. It will be easy without you as a burden."
"That's it, what's wrong with Sanya recruiting you two sisters? Or did she owe you two sisters in the previous life? She always dislikes her; Sanya is just too good and too sensible, so she was bullied by you two sisters and didn't open her mouth." Leshi was not angry at all, as rabbits had tempers over and over again, let alone her.
Minghua:......
How good is she in the eyes of her parents? It's just that she doesn't need to take action now. Why break the happy days that are protected by others? Which of her parents and grandparents won't protect her? Why bother to use your hands? Just use your mouth.
"Say less." Xiao Zhengning advised his wife, "Da Ya is still young, and children have the right to make mistakes. As long as they know their mistakes and can correct them, the clan has already punished them, so it would be shameful for us to continue to catch them. Second brother! Leave Da Ya to me, don't worry, I will send you safely to the academy."
Xiao Zhengrong pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled reluctantly, "Thank you, big brother. If there is something wrong with Da Ya, you and the sister-in-law can correct it; they have been taught bad things by Xiao Wang, and with the guidance of the sister-in-law, they should be able to change."
Xiao Zhengning: ...I'm just going to be polite, who wants his wife to take care of other people's children?
It was obviously a thankless job, and even though Xiao Wang was suppressed, he was very careful.
Xiao Leshi and Xiao Zhengning have been husband and wife for eleven years, and they have a perfect understanding. After hearing Xiao Zhengrong's words, the corners of their mouths twitched and they didn't say anything.
"Okay, hurry up and pack your things, Kangkang and the others should leave." Mrs. Xiao now looked impatient when she saw her youngest son, who always had so many bad things going on.
"Daya's things are all in her hands, and the meal money has been given to her." Xiao Zhengrong glanced at the package in Daya's arms, "Brother, Daya will trouble you; she is ignorant and doesn't know how to behave, and I will be slow. Taught slowly.”
Xiao Zhengning nodded obediently, greeted his mother and wife, and led the four children away.
Mrs. Xiao watched her eldest son and her grandchildren walk away, and then sent Xiao Leshi away before talking to her second son, "Da Ya and Er Ya should be disciplined, and Mrs. Xiao Wang should be taught well. If she can't be disciplined well, she will be sent back to her parents' home." Go; let her mother-in-law teach her well, what kind of family brings up what kind of children."
Shaking his head and sighing, he went inside.
Xiao Zhengrong saw the way his mother who gave birth to him and raised him bowed her shoulders slightly, and felt equally uncomfortable; at the beginning, he felt unjust and went against his parents' wishes when it came to getting a wife. Later, as time passed, he roughly understood Xiao Wang's face and what kind of person she was. It was not that he didn't regret it, but he had to finish his choice on his knees.
The wife chosen by her parents for her eldest brother really overwhelms the Xiao Wang family in everything; Xiao Wang family did not fight for it. She has been married into the family for seven or eight years. Not only did she not learn the advantages of her parents, but she secretly arranged a marriage between the two. The old man is here and it’s time to fight.
After Xiao Zhengrong returned to the house, he caught Xiao Wang who was lying on the bed and moaned and beat her again; while beating her, he talked about her mistakes, as if she was sealed with a demon.
After this incident, Mrs. Xiao's fear suddenly increased and she did not dare to say anything nonsense. Seeing that Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were hiding away, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were completely confused, but they did not care about the affairs of the second bedroom. No, I don’t want to care, I just pretend I haven’t seen it yet.
It was another holiday. I returned home and rested for a while, had lunch, and took a nap. Xiao Zhengning took Xiao Hongkang to the private school. From today on, Xiao Hongkang will be the private school's young master.
There was no one at home, so Xiao Hongping quietly ran out to play with the children in the village. When he met, he found out that half of his friends had been sent to private schools. Some of the boys who came here did not pay attention to studying at home. I was also waiting and watching, wanting to see if Xiao Zhengning was teaching well and whether he was teaching attentively.
Xiao Minghua was alone at home with nothing to do. After thinking about it, she took out a special small brush, ink block, ink stone, and paper while her family was away. Because she was young, the paper she used was not as wide as that used by her brothers.
Grinding the ink, standing on the rough paper, dipping the ink and starting to write the outline of the story in her mind; having lived in countless worlds of novels, she understood some of the routines and rules of writing novels.
Based on the current society's scripts, she planned to write a story about the Conferred Gods, but the content was no longer that in "The Romance of the Gods"; instead, it was about a lonely and helpless little girl who went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to become a famous teacher and was involved in the story of the Conferred Gods. in the story.
