Chapter 458: Study Diligently (1/2)

Mo Beihan did not quibble with this irritating fellow. Instead, he looked at Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping. “In the future, both of you must also study diligently. Especially you, Jiang Ping. You must set an example for the younger boys. You must be even more diligent than them.”

Jiang Xun was taken aback. “I… I need to study too?”

He was not a young child anymore. He could work and their home situation was fraught. Should he not be working more to support the family?

Mo Beihan nodded and told him very sternly, “That’s right, you have to study too. You will work as usual, but you must not neglect your studies. But you have to be careful and not let anyone else find out. Be discreet. Do you understand?

“Listen to me. There is no harm in learning more. And there are all those older folks at the cowshed, not just in our Southern Lake Brigade but also in the Qing River Brigade. The older folks in the Qing River Brigade in particular are kind and very knowledgeable. In the future, you can seek their guidance.

“But some of them here in the Southern Lake Brigade are not so nice. You have to be careful.

“Also, I heard that school will start next year and lessons will begin. That way, all of you can go to school In the future. All of you are to attend school and study hard. Do you understand?”

Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping were completely stunned!

“I… we can attend school too?”

This was beyond Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping’s expectations. How did they get so lucky?

Mo Beihan thought for a while and said, “You can, but not right now. I cannot send all of you to school at once. That would be too conspicuous.

“When school starts next year, Chengrui will start first, followed by Little Xu and Little Jing. Mu Mu is still young and can wait a few years. In two years, Ping Ping can go to school too.

“As for Jiang Xun, he must wait for his younger brothers to all attend school and for things to improve at home before he can attend school. By then, he can directly attend senior school.
