Chapter 435 Literacy Class Exam Results
Throughout history, there has never been such an arrangement for the elderly.
Generally, even if the family is divided, they will live with the eldest son.
"Mom, is this...inappropriate..."
Shen Liang was also worried. He was the eldest and had the responsibility, so why did his two younger brothers have to share the burden?
Zhao Yan also felt so. As the eldest sister-in-law, it was her duty to take care of her parents-in-law. If she didn't live with them when she was old, people would think that she, as the eldest daughter-in-law, was unfilial.
"There's nothing wrong with that. You have to live your own life. Besides, you are all my sons. It doesn't make sense for only the eldest family to take care of you. You will take turns to take care of me in my old age. That's it."
Zhang Cuihua made the decision immediately, and Shen Songqing also agreed:
"Just do as your mother says. No matter what others say, don't feel any psychological burden. From now on, every family will contribute food and money every month. This is real. If you are filial, make something delicious and serve us a bowl. We will be satisfied."
The old couple looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
They are complete with three sons and one daughter, and they are able to raise them to this level.
Shen Qing took the children out for a walk, and when she returned home she heard about such a big thing that had happened at home, which made her sigh.
But she subconsciously felt that what her parents did was right.
Although she doesn't understand it either, she will know whether it is good or not in the future.
"The braised meat business will be given to the eldest brother, the mill will be given to the second brother, and the third brother is working in the workshop now. He also makes a lot of money. We won't divide it up for now. When the vermicelli business is ready next year, it will be given to the third brother. In the future, whether you live a good life or a bad life, it will all be yours. Whether the business is good or bad, you will be responsible for it yourself."
"As for money, I'll use the money from my family to build a house for each of you, and the rest will be used to prepare a dowry for Qing'er. Basically, there won't be much left, so your father and I will take any surplus."
"If any of you are too busy, your father and I will go to help. But after the family is divided, your father and I will get paid. When we can no longer work, each of you three brothers will have to pay according to the village standard, and send some food to each family every month, and give a few copper coins."
Zhang Cuihua also arranged all future matters clearly, which was very fair.
If one family is divided into four families, they will not interfere with each other and may live more comfortably and harmoniously.
Fortunately, the family has earned some money these days, and there is also some money that the third brother and Shen Yuan brought back from working together in Prince Cheng's Mansion last time, otherwise they would not dare to build so many houses.
After hearing this, Shen Su thought about it and shook his head.
"Mom, I don't want the vermicelli business, I'll follow Brother Yuan."
He didn't think about setting up his own workshop. He was doing well under Brother Yuan and he also liked that kind of work.
Zhang Cuihua knocked him on the head:
"Listen to me, if I give it to you, just take it! If you don't want to do it, let your parents do it for you. You don't have a wife now, what if your wife wants one in the future! Otherwise, your wife will say that I'm unfair!"
Zhang Cuihua is not stupid. Whether to want it or not is one thing, and whether to divide it or not is another. Shen Su has to take the vermicelli business even if he doesn't want it. Who knows what kind of daughter-in-law he will marry for her in the end!
The other brothers also nodded, thinking that their mother's division was fair and that it was what Shen Su deserved, so there would be no confusion in the end.
Even Su Wanwan couldn't help but admire when she found out about it later, saying that her aunt was really insightful. This was probably the first family in Daliushu Village to divide the family in this way.
He is also the first elderly person who does not live with his children but lives alone.
The next day, Zhang Cuihua brought the matchmaker to propose marriage in person. No one in Daliushu Village was surprised. After what happened yesterday, everyone thought that the two of them might be able to get married.
After all, they are both single. If even one of them is not single, this matter will become a big deal and one person's reputation will be ruined.
When I think about it this way, I feel that the two of them might be a match made in heaven.
Shen Heng's family was well-off, and Shen Heng was honest and capable. Wang Cui'e had suffered so much before, but it could not be denied that she was actually a good woman.
These two are a perfect match, and this is the rhythm of hardship before sweetness.
The wedding was scheduled quickly, directly for the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. Today is the tenth of the twelfth lunar month, so there are only ten days left.
Su Wanwan sighed that this family was really impetuous and this was too hasty.
The news that Shen Heng was going to marry Wang Cui'e spread throughout the village immediately, but the villagers all expressed their support, and the previous rumors came to an end. Everyone who met the two of them would congratulate them first.
On this day Shen Yuan went to the county town again. Some merchants sent New Year gifts, and Shen Yuan had to return the gifts these days, so he went to the county town frequently.
Su Wanwan asked someone to take the prize to the ancestral hall.
Today is the day when the test results will be announced. People from the literacy class have been waiting here early, and they are all quite nervous.
"Tsk tsk, I finally understand how those scholars feel when they are waiting for the results to be announced."
"How can we compare with the scholars? We are just learning to read, but they are much more nervous than us."
"That's right. This is my first time taking the exam. I hope I don't get a zero, or it will make people laugh."
"Haha, I don't think it's a big deal. We can't read a single word to begin with. It's thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Shen Yuan that we can learn a few words from the teacher."
"Hehe, now that I can recognize a few words, I feel like my back is straighter. I can hold my head high and chest out when I go out."
"Yes, I did the same when I went out. Last time, the county government posted a notice, and I was able to understand it. Many people even asked me to read the content. I was so proud of it."
........
Everyone was talking about it, and everyone was in high spirits.
After learning to read, although they could not pass the imperial examinations like other scholars, they felt confident and proud.
When Su Wanwan arrived, everyone was talking excitedly, and when they saw her, they all came over to say hello.
"The Shen Yuan family is here."
"Wanwan is here."
"Come and sit down, come on."
Someone had already made room for a seat and pulled Su Wanwan over to sit.
Su Wanwan didn't hesitate and told Aunt Huang to carry all the things to the table in front, and then she joined their team.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Liu, Aunt Six, what are you talking about?"
When Su Wanwan looked, she actually saw many aunts and grandfathers came here.
I guess they were bored during the slack season, so they came to watch the fun. I immediately became friends with them and had a great time chatting with them.
Xiao Yue'er and Xiao Yunyi also went to sit with their friends. After a while, Shen Zhao and Meng Qian came out from the back hall. Shen Zhao was holding a stack of papers in his hands.
After formally becoming Meng Qian's apprentice, Shen Zhao went to Meng Qian's dormitory every day to attend classes, and Meng Qian also began to teach Shen Zhao how to paint.
When they saw Mr. Meng coming, the scene immediately became quiet.
Shen Zhao stood aside holding the test paper like an assistant.
Mr. Meng cleared his throat and without saying much, he directly told Shen Zhao to distribute the papers.
