Chapter 229 Finding a Way Out for the Mu Family Children
Mu Yuyu raised his hand and expressed his opinion, "Brother, the gifts we prepare don't have to be very good or expensive."
"Sir, you know everything about our family situation."
"If we prepare expensive gifts, the master might get angry."
Mu Pingping thought it made sense. Their family was just an ordinary farming family and could not afford expensive gifts.
"So, we should start with something new," Mu Yuyu said. "We can work together to give a gift to Mr. and Doctor Deng."
"This gift doesn't have to be expensive, but it can be novel and interesting, or something Dr. Deng hasn't seen before."
Mu Pingping said, "A gift like this takes time to prepare, and we don't have time to prepare it."
Mu Yuyu stretched out a finger and shook it, "Brother, the gift doesn't have to be given today or tomorrow. It can be given in a few days."
His words were agreed by Muniuniu and others.
"Brother, Yuyu is right. We don't have to rush to prepare it today. We can send it in a few days."
"With a few days to prepare, the gifts we give will be better."
"Yes, yes, when we give gifts, we give them to express our thoughts, not the gifts themselves."
After listening to his brothers' opinions, Mu Pingping agreed and said, "Okay."
"Let's talk to Mr. and Doctor Deng first, and then send them the gifts in a few days."
"Also, we need to apologize to Mr. and Dr. Deng."
As students, they didn't even think of preparing a gift for the teacher, which was a big mistake.
Several children came to Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng.
"Sir, Doctor Deng."
Several people bowed in a not-so-standard greeting, their faces full of apology and shame, "Please forgive us, Mr. Doctor Deng, for not preparing any gifts."
"But in a few days, we will prepare gifts."
Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng looked at each other and both laughed.
"It's good that you have this thought." Cheng Zishi said gently, "Gifts or not are not the most important thing. The most important thing is your thought."
Doctor Deng took over the conversation and said kindly, "Yes, the most important thing is your intention."
"As long as you study hard and don't have any problems with your character, that's all that's needed."
Mu Pingping and the other children felt even more ashamed, but they had not even shown any affection before.
If the baby hadn't wanted to give a gift, they wouldn't have thought of it.
"Sir, it was the baby who reminded us. Please allow us to give you a gift." Mu Pingping said.
Cheng Zishi said, "In that case, you should prepare the gifts."
In these aspects, Baobao does indeed do better than Pingping and the others.
I don’t know what’s going on in the baby’s little head, but she always thinks a lot and thinks things through carefully.
Doctor Deng said, "You should learn more from your baby."
"I mean the brain part."
He pointed to his head and said, "You should think more, reflect more, and use your brain more."
"When you conduct scientific research in the future, you will discover more about the darkness and viciousness of human nature."
"If you use your brains enough, you can save a lot of trouble and danger."
Many things happen during every scientific examination, some of which are that candidates encounter various problems and are unable to continue to participate in the examination.
This is the method used by a small number of candidates.
There are so many candidates taking the science exams each time, but only a few pass, so some candidates will eliminate those with potential.
Mu Pingping's heart sank and he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders.
As the eldest son, he has to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters.
"Yes, the students remember it."
Cheng Zishi patted his shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't put too much burden on yourself."
“Scientific research is not the only way out.”
"Look at me, I didn't choose the path of imperial examination to become an official."
Doctor Deng agreed, "Although you don't have a family or backing, scientific research isn't your only path."
"Becoming a teacher and educating people is better than taking exams all the time."
"I've seen quite a few, from ambitious young men, all the way to scientific expeditions, and even white-haired old men."
Cheng Zishi was deeply moved when he heard this. "Thinking back to the times when I participated in the imperial examinations, I met many elderly people, including quite a few white-haired old men, who had spent their entire lives on the imperial examinations."
Doctor Deng said, "This is not difficult to understand."
"In the minds of most people, scientific research is the only way out."
"Most of them wanted to pass the imperial examinations to enter the officialdom, thereby getting promoted, getting rich, and bringing glory to themselves."
Cheng Zishi said, "Their ideas are not wrong."
"For ordinary people, scientific research is the best path."
"For example, Pingping and the others, if they didn't know us, they would have no choice but to take the path of scientific research."
Doctor Deng said, "It's still a matter of thinking."
"Look at the private school teacher in the next village. He failed the imperial examination twice and chose to open a private school."
"Life is so comfortable now."
"Besides, if any of his students become successful, he can also benefit from it."
The two were discussing whether ordinary people should go all the way to scientific research.
The female members of the Zhu family were confused and went about their own business.
Mu Lao Di and Mu Lao Da didn't really understand either, they just knew it was good for the children, so they forced themselves to listen.
Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San could understand a little bit.
Both of them have had sharp minds since childhood, and now that they are doing business, their ideas are even more different.
Mu Pingping's children, such as Mu Zhuangzhuang, who disliked reading and liked practicing martial arts, fell asleep while listening.
Mu Pingping and the others listened very carefully. They knew very well that this was a choice for their future.
This was the first time Mu Pingping had heard such a statement.
Before this, his idea was very simple. If he could study, he would study hard and strive for the imperial examination.
If you can't pass the imperial examination, you can find a good job by being able to read and write.
If you can be reliable, then try to be reliable so that your family can live a good life as soon as possible.
Now, after listening to what Mr. and Dr. Deng said, he had another idea.
It seems that there is no need for him to work so hard on scientific examinations.
Putting aside whether he could pass the exam, the money needed for the exam alone was huge, which was beyond the family's means.
Even if his family could afford it, he didn't want his family to bear the cost of the imperial examinations for him and his brothers.
Therefore, he can choose to study hard and try to take the imperial examinations in the future.
If that doesn't work out, being a teacher is also a good option.
"Oh, and there's also the accountant." Doctor Deng patted his thigh and laughed. "For ordinary people, being an accountant is a good job."
"Sitting there all day, all I have to do is count the accounts, and I only make a few taels of silver a month."
Upon hearing this, Mu Laodi and the others became interested.
"Doctor Deng, is this accountant so nice?" asked Old Man Mu.
There are many children in the family, and it is impossible for every one of them to be a teacher. We have to find different jobs for them.
