Chapter 618
Lin Lan didn’t force him to ace his studies. He could just learn the basics and the fundamentals of maths and language, so as long as he had them down, it was good enough for her.
Likewise, she had the same requirements for Sanwang.
However, though Dawang could barely manage to scrape by, Sanwang was entirely hopeless in that regard.
That kid sat obediently in the classroom, looking like he was paying attention, but his heart had been longing for something else entirely throughout the ordeal.
If the teacher said ten sentences, he probably couldn’t remember even one.
Dawang could learn half of it, but Sanwang could probably do a tenth of his Eldest Brother’s?
If this was up to other families, there wouldn’t have been a need for someone like Sanwang to keep going to school anymore and would have dragged him back to the field long ago.
But Lin Lan thought that in a few years, the civil service would end. With that, the college entrance examination processes would be resumed, job recruitments in the city would be liberalised. Self-employed businesses would begin to sprout and the youth would face many opportunities. By the time they grow up, they would be setting foot into society. If they were not educated and were illiterate, it would not be easy for them to get out.
She wanted their future to be a little smoother. Although everyone walked their own path, parents naturally wanted to do as much as possible for their children.
These were just a fleeting thought, Lin Lan invited Han Qingping to sit in the hall.
Even though it was cold, she still opened the courtyard door and the room door. She poured a bowl of hot water for the teacher, put two red dates in it and scooped in a small spoonful of sugar.
