epilogue 1 brother(2/2)
Can the carriage still be loaded?”
"What are railroad tracks? You just said you would use railroad tracks to pave the road, and then put pillow-like wood in the middle. How much would that cost?"
"Uncle Guan, is this really a ship made of steel? Why won't it sink in the water?"
Listening to this, Brother Wu, Uncle Guan, and Zhang Shou couldn't help but rub their chins gently, thinking that their two sons were not good at anything else, but their ability in One Hundred Thousand Whys was not weak. It's a pity that they all have no talent in mathematics, science, and writing.
A bit useless, their sister's mental arithmetic ability is already very strong at this age, but when it's their turn, she stumbles.
Anyway, it's just like practicing martial arts, the two of them don't have much talent.
Therefore, it was not until he quietly appeared behind the two of them that he suddenly grabbed one of them by the collar. After the boy hurriedly shouted twice, "Sixth Uncle, please spare me," when he caught a glimpse of him, his face suddenly became extremely expressionless.
Honest and honest, he knew that this was Zhang Ze who came out a little late from his mother's womb.
He is the younger brother who puts his elder brother ahead of him in everything.
As soon as he saw his father's meaningful smile, Zhang Ze knew that something was wrong. When Zhang Shou let go, he quickly knelt down and hugged his father's thigh: "Dad, you haven't brought me and my brother here for a long time.
Tiangongfang is here, we just want to come and have a look!"
It’s definitely not because you’re afraid of practicing martial arts that you skip classes!
What Zhang Ze didn't say in the second half, Zhang Xun yelled directly. As a result, Zhang Shou didn't answer, Ah Liu took the big one aside and grilled it with bamboo shoots. Zhang Ze couldn't escape either.
After a while, when the brother who was crying for his father and mother was beaten and thrown back, he was also picked up by Ah Liu and received no more than ten slaps on his buttocks.
And when he came back pitifully, rubbing his butt, he saw Zhang Shou talking to the two people he had just talked to. As the future owner of Zhang Yuan, Tiangongfang was curious but almost inaccessible to them.
Therefore, whether Guan Qiu, who has black hair and eyes like himself, or Wu David, who looks strange, this is the first time they have had close contact.
I had only seen it from a distance before, and even if I came with my parents a few times to visit, they never had the chance to speak.
Therefore, since he had been beaten, Zhang Zeshao had no choice but to quietly tug at the corner of his brother's clothes to make the dumb brother stop talking, and then raised his ears and listened. When he heard Zhang Shou asking about the progress, he said a lot
After he couldn't understand the words at all, he took a chance and shouted: "Dad, I want to learn from Uncle Guan and Brother Wu!"
What about railroad tracks, what about steam engines, and renovating blast furnaces to make steel... This is much more interesting than practicing martial arts and arithmetic!
Zhang Xun's eyes widened, but out of the same mindset as his younger brother, he quickly parroted the words. However, what followed was not his father's opposition or ridicule, nor was it simple approval and support.
"Learn something? You think the things in the workshop today are interesting, so you want to learn them, right? But do you know that in order to make something, you need to learn arithmetic, which you hate most? You need to learn more than arithmetic.
More difficult physics?”
"Knowing that when the lights go out, there is no oxygen and people cannot survive. Knowing that you can at least find a way out of the maze by holding a ball of thread and unwinding it. But these are just small cleverness. And small cleverness is different from great wisdom. Great wisdom is not only innate
Talent is also a matter of acquired learning. Even I have only learned a little bit of the surface."
Zhang Ze's mouth suddenly opened wide. He never thought that these things that looked so interesting still need to be learned! He glanced at his brother next to him who was also confused, but he muttered in a low voice: "Dad
Don't coax us..."
Zhang Shou did not reprimand him directly, but waved to Wu David, who had now transformed from a blond boy into a blond young man, and then said slowly: "Come on, brother Wu, tell your two junior brothers that they have learned the lesson.
What?"
If it were in Florence, David Wu was sure that he would be the brightest morning star at various dances and parties. Because of good food, good education, and various martial arts training he was forced to undergo, he was extremely tall.
He now has the ability of a knight and the elegance of an intellectual in his movements.
However, what he was most happy about at this time was that Zhang Shou said that these twin biological sons were his younger junior brothers. In other words, he who started to formally follow Zhang Shou to learn arithmetic very late was indeed regarded as his direct disciple.
.
Therefore, when facing these two little guys who met him at close range for the first time and saw that his appearance was completely different from Akito's, he showed no trace of fear or awe. The corners of his mouth gradually rose, revealing a very
With a gentle smile, he said earnestly: "Two junior brothers, you really need to learn a lot to make the things you just saw."
"In addition to the arithmetic and physics that the teacher just mentioned, there are also pneumatics, fluid mechanics, materials science, metallurgy..."
Wu Dawei, who also perfectly learned the tricks of cheating from Zhang Shou, opened his mouth with a dazzling list of names. As a result, he succeeded in making the eyes of the two identical brothers full of stars. When he finally reported the name of a dish to a academic report
After a paragraph, he said kindly: "You two junior brothers, are you sure, do you really want to learn?"
"In no mood!"
"think!"
These two completely different voices sounded almost at the same time. Not to mention Wu David, even Zhang Shou couldn't help but be stunned. As a result, he saw his two sons staring at each other for a long time.
I found the younger one shouting angrily: "Brother, why are you so worthless!"
"I'm too tired. I don't want to learn so many things!" Zhang Xun retorted confidently. Seeing his younger brother looking at him with a sorrowful look like an adult, he suddenly felt guilty, but after hesitating again and again, he still straightened his chest.
Said, "Dad once said that in this world, some people are academic masters, and some people are academic scumbags. No matter how hard you try, it's useless!"
"And I'm a bad student!"
At this moment, Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to cover his face when he thought that he had comforted his wife who hated iron with such words in front of Zhu Ying. This was the first time he saw such a self-righteous scumbag... But this scumbag
It's still his son! What a sin. He has saved many scumbag students in his life. Now it seems that he may have to save his own son!
Therefore, he stared at Zhang Xun for a long time, until he looked down at the little guy with a guilty conscience, and then said helplessly: "It's important for people to be self-aware. It's better for you to know that you are a scumbag than to think that you are invincible."
.All roads lead to the capital, and there are many other choices in this world, even if you plan to sit around and hang out for the rest of your life..."
"Is it really possible?" Zhang Xun was overjoyed all of a sudden, and even interrupted Zhang Shou forgetfully. But when he heard a loud cough from behind, and realized that it was his twin brother reminding him, he was slightly startled.
His face gradually turned pale.
He actually revealed to his father that he planned to spend his whole life in idleness and idleness!
Zhang Xun subconsciously turned around and ran away. As a result, he forgot that he had just been severely spanked. Before he could run out for two steps, he hit his head directly on someone. He raised his head and realized that it was Ah Liu. He
Immediately, he was like a wilted cabbage, squatting down on the ground with his head in his hands, shouting repeatedly: "I was wrong! Dad, Uncle Ah Liu, I was wrong!"
Ah Liu directly picked up the little guy, but then he felt someone hugging his thigh. He lowered his head and saw Zhang Ze with a pleading face. He was stunned for a moment, but ignored him and raised his head to look at Zhang Ze.
Shou, his eyes are as serious as ever.
Zhang Shou believed that as long as he showed a little bit of expression, Ah Liu could give the older brother of the twins a good beating again. So he shook his head clearly: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can't force him. Xiao Ze is willing to go."
To learn these things, then Wu David, come and take your junior brother with you to see what kind of talent he has. If he has no talent, he can only rely on hard work."
"As for Xiao Xun, it's okay to live a life of idleness and wait for death. However, your mother and I set the rules of this family back then. How much ability you have, how much you can do, and how much family property you share. If Aze has the ability in the future and
His sister will inherit Tiangongfang together, but you don’t know anything and can’t do anything, then you have no share in this."
"And if you don't study or be an official, you can't keep this big house in the capital, so I can only give you one of your mother's villages. You can go to the countryside and be a small landowner and lead the tenants well."
Farming..."
Zhu Ying, who had just come back from outside, pulled her daughter Zhang Luo. She was frowning at first, but at this moment she was laughing so hard that she still managed not to make a sound. As for Zhang Luo behind her, she was covering her head.
I closed my eyes, as if I felt that the scene of my younger brother being taught like this by his father was simply too horrible to watch.
Sure enough, when I heard that I would leave the capital in the future and stay at home honestly to avoid being picked on and hurt my sister and younger brother, I was shocked when I heard that my close friends in the future—actually my cousins, etc.
In addition, the two little guys in Senior Brother Lu's family who he can call nephews will gradually become alienated, just because they are not from the same world... Zhang Xun's face finally changed.
Zhang Luo couldn't help but mutter that her father could deceive people like this, but when she turned her head, she found that her mother, who had been laughing so hard just now, was now starting to become frightened. She was stunned for a moment.
, and then asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Mom, isn't dad just lying to Xiao Xun? Is he telling the truth?"
Zhu Ying, who had burst into tears just now, wiped her eyes gently, but then did not answer Zhang Luo's words, but appeared and walked forward. When Zhang Xun finally noticed her arrival, she only saw the twins.
The brother in the middle had a mournful face and looked at him pitifully, as if praying that she could overturn what Zhang Shou had said before.
She has always been very simple and rude to her two sons, but this time Zhu Ying gently rubbed the little guy's head, then smiled slightly and said: "I actually have uncles, and your grandfather also has two uncles.
But now, they are not in the capital, but working as insignificant officials far away."
"Even for such small officials, there are people who are always monitoring whether they have made mistakes and whether they have embezzled money. Because they have the status of a relative but do not have much talent, so in order to avoid unrealistic ambitions in life, this is the only way. Before my grandmother died,
Tell me, they hate her, they hate the Queen Mother, and in fact they probably hate my father and me and all the people who enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital."
"Ah Xun, if you have no talent and are unwilling to work hard, then from now on, you will only be the same as those elders you may never see."
Although the young Zhang Xun couldn't understand Zhu Ying's words at all, his mother confirmed that his father's words just now were not a threat, which he still understood! So the elder brother was finally struck by that overwhelming force.
The desire to survive was so strong that I jumped up and shouted hurriedly: "I will learn whatever my second brother learns. I was just lazy and didn't study hard before!"
"I just thought that if I couldn't learn anything, my parents and sister wouldn't push me so hard!"
"Brother, you big idiot!"
Hearing what his brother Zhang Xun said without hesitation, and his brother Zhang Ze's subsequent scolding, he rushed forward and covered the person's mouth tightly. Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment and then smiled. Looking at Zhu Ying again, he just
Seeing the child, his mother was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, as if she was about to explode in the next second!
Although as a father, he should give some advice at this moment, but when he saw Zhu Ying carrying the people away one by one without saying a word, he glanced at the eldest daughter who was stunned on the spot, and then added leisurely
: "Luoluo, your two brothers are born in the year of the monkey. You must be more careful in the future and don't be deceived by them."
"I really didn't expect that your mother and I would act stupid just to be lazy!"
Wu David was already laughing so much that he was squatting there and beating the ground, and the kinder Guan Qiu also turned his back to hide the smile on his face. But Ah Liu's originally rigid face now looked even darker.
He took a deep breath and said word by word like a military order: "There is no future."
These five words can cause ambiguity. Zhang Shou listened to his ears, but he couldn't help but mourn for the future of his two sons. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, otherwise, otherwise a pair of scumbag sons would have set up such a plan.
