Walking on the road, Fan Tiezhou smiled and said to his son: "I discussed with your mother last night that my father would not go fishing anymore, and would prepare to farm at home, and then run a boat or something."

"No wonder my mother was trying hard to settle the accounts early this morning."

Fanning asked again with a smile: "Is that family's money enough?"

"Enough!"

Fan Tiezhou smiled and pinched his son's shoulders. He didn't want his son to worry about the situation at home.

"Actually, I still think my dad should go to the town to open a clinic."

Fan Tiezhou stopped and said, "You are here again, the clinic is not so easy to open."

"Dad has never opened a clinic, how can I know it's not easy to open?"

Seeing that his son was very serious, Fan Tiezhou had to explain to him patiently.

"Dad was with her doctor for two years when he was a teenager. How could he not know? First of all, you need to have extraordinary medical skills, then you need to have capital and reputation. All three are indispensable, but I don't have three. How do you think you can open it?"

Fanning was not convinced.

"There is a specialty in technology, and no doctor is proficient in everything. My father opens a clinic that specializes in treating bruises and injuries, and then treats some minor diseases with headaches and fevers. As for the cost, as long as my father agrees to open a clinic, I will find a way."

Fan Tiezhou was a little moved by his son. He could tie bones, treat injuries, and prepare a secret medicine for treating bruises and injuries. As for home-related diseases such as headaches and fever, he would also treat them. He could really open a specialty clinic.

For Fan Tiezhou, he is not only lacking in capital, but also lacking confidence.

He sighed, "Let's talk about this later!"

Fan Ning observed his expressions and looked at his expression. Seeing that his father had been moved by him, he no longer advised him. This matter was too urgent and he still needed to plan it slowly.

Soon, the father and son came to their grandfather Fan Dachuan's home. When they walked into the yard, Fan Tiezhou saw his mother sitting in front of the kitchen door washing clothes.

He hurried forward, "Mom, I'll bring Ning'er to report you good news."

When Yang saw Fan Ning, the walnut pattern on his face suddenly burst into laughter and quickly wiped his hands on his body, "My son is here!"

Fan Ning felt warm in her heart and stepped forward to hold her grandmother's hand.

"Grandma, are the cloth shoes you last time easy to wear?"

Yang raised his feet, and the cloth shoes Fanning bought in Beijing were on her feet. She smiled like a child, "It's quite suitable and easy to walk. My son is the best at buying things."

Fan Tiezhou said again: "Mom, Ning'er took the first place in the town yesterday!"

A light flashed in Yang's turbid eyes. She touched Fanning's head lovingly and grinned, "My son is the smartest and can also get the first place in the exam, okay! OK!"

Fan Tiezhou put the two roosters in his hand in the yard, "Mom, this is Ning'er's little intention."

"Hey! It's a pity that your father went out early in the morning."

Fan Tiezhou asked, "Where has Dad been?"

"I don't know, ask Shiro."

At this time, Fan Tongzhong walked out of the room quickly. He was wearing a new moon-white fine linen gown, wearing a scholar towel and carrying a book bag. It seemed that he was going out.

"Brother, you are here."

Fan Tongzhong greeted his brother, handed Fan Ning a cloth bag, and said with a smile: "This is what Uncle Fourth gave you. Although thanks to Mr. Fan's help this time, it is still worthy of praise for being admitted to Yanying School."

Fan Ning saw that the cloth bag was a little moldy and found it from somewhere. However, it was already very good if the fourth uncle had this intention.

He smiled and took it over, "Thank you, Uncle Fourth!"

He quickly glanced at the cloth bag, which contained the four treasures of the study. Except for one of the pens, it was new, and the others were old. The paper had turned yellow, a piece of ink was covered with mold spots, and the inkstone also had signs of wear.

Fan Tiezhou felt uncomfortable when he heard this and quickly explained: "Ninger was admitted to Yanying School and had nothing to do with Uncle San."

Fan Tongzhong smiled, "Brother, don't explain it. We are all experienced people, so there are some things that need not be pointed out."

Fan Tiezhou was too lazy to talk about it anymore, and asked him again: "Where has Dad been?"

"Dad went to Wuxi to visit his old friend early in the morning."

"Go to Wuxi?"

Fan Tiezhou was stunned, "When will he come back?"

Fan Tongzhong shook his head, "At least seven or eight days, at most half a month. Anyway, I haven't been at home recently. You guys sit down slowly, I'll go to the county school first."

He waved his hand, turned around and left casually.

When Fan Tiezhou heard that his father was not here, he felt relieved. It would be fine, otherwise he would really not be able to ask for the five-spot money.

Fan Ning knew it was the old man who went out to hide from debt.

At this time, grandmother Yang waved to Fanning in the kitchen, and Fanning hurriedly walked in.

Yang took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it layer by layer. It was dozens of cents inside. She stuffed the money into Fanning's pocket, "The grandma only has this little money, my son will buy candy to eat!"

Fanning's nose felt sour and saluted respectfully, "Thank you grandma!"

Yang touched his head and said with a smile: "My son, be good, study hard, and become a high-ranking official in the future."

"I will definitely take my grandma to enjoy the happiness at that time."

Yang looked at her sensible grandson. She turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and smiled, "Grandma has hope, just wait for my son to become a high-ranking official!"

Today Fanning did not meet the fourth aunt. Grandma said she had returned to her parents' home and there was no one at home. Grandma was alone and she was lonely.

Fanning agreed to come and talk to her tomorrow.

After coming out of my grandfather's house, Fan Tiezhou looked at the cloth bag in his son's hand left and right, "Ning'er, show the bag to my father."

Fan Ning handed the bag to his father. Fan Tiezhou opened the bag and looked inside, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I said why is it so familiar? It's the book bag I used before, and the inkstone I used, and the paper and ink were left by me. Your fourth uncle really knows how to find something."

Fanning smiled and said, "Don't these things make sense?"

"It's right!"

Fan Tiezhou rubbed his son's hair and said with a smile: "He is your fourth uncle after all, it's not about what he gives. The key is that he has this intention, so I'm very satisfied with him."

When I passed by the primary school, I saw Mr. Gu respectfully sending the two guests out of the yard from afar.

Fan Ning wanted to hide too late. Mr. Gu saw the guests away. When he turned around, he happened to see them, father and son.

He immediately smiled and walked forward quickly, holding Fanning's hand enthusiastically and rubbing it repeatedly, as if he wanted to take Fanning's luck.

"I'll just say it! Ah Dai, no! Fanning is very wise and foolish, unlike other children. I've said it a long time ago. Fanning doesn't make a sound, and she's amazing. Look, I've really hit it. I'm satisfied to be able to teach such a student!"

Mr. Gu patted his shriveled breasts, and his face was filled with an exaggerated happiness.

Fan Tiezhou and his son had black lines on their faces at the same time.

Fan Tiezhou reluctantly smiled and said, "Let me take two bottles of wine for the sir, thank you for your kindness!"

"No need, Fanning has already repayed me well."

Fan Ning's heart moved, "Are they the two guests just now?"

Mr. Gu's face smiled, "I had received three groups of guests this morning, all of whom were scrambling to hire me to teach. In addition to the two senior officials of the Zangshu Town, I officially hired me to be a teacher at the Zangshu Town School. There were more than 200 students there, and the income was rich!"

Fan Tiezhou was stunned, "What should I do with the students here?"

Mr. Gu sighed, "I can't bear to teach for so many years! Okay, you guys go and do it! I want to pack my luggage and say goodbye to Mr. Zhou. If you have the chance, we will go to the town for a drink."

He waved to Fan Ning and entered the school lightly.

Fan Tiezhou bit his lip and said, "Ning'er, go back and return the big white goose to him, let's not!"

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Gu has left, I think it's a good thing!"

"What do you say?"

"Don't Dad think that Uncle Fourth has something to do?"

Fan Tiezhou's eyes lit up. He looked at the school again and taught more than 20 students. His annual income was fifty or sixty cents, and his father's 80 acres of land was only so much.

It would be a good thing if the fourth brother could take over this primary school.

It can not only reduce the burden on the family, but also concentrate on reviewing and prepare for the next imperial examination.

But... Mr. Zhou may not agree.

Fan Tiezhou hesitated for a long time and had to discuss this matter when his father came back.
