Seeing this, Xiao Qing also knew what his uncle was thinking.
“I know it’s not that easy. After I go to the academy, I’ll try to take the exam next year. If I pass, then I’ll sign up for the scholar’s exam. ”
“After becoming a scholar, our family can be exempted from grain tax. Even if we don’t farm, we can help other families and earn some money. In addition, we don’t have to worry about being recruited as soldiers.”
“When I have the scholarly honor, ordinary people won’t dare to come and bully us.”
!!
Li Xiao paused. Then, he nodded.
This child was more thoughtful than him.

“What’s going on? Brother Huaiyu left?” She walked over to them with a smile.
“Sister!” Lin Xiaozhi smiled and ran towards Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, he eagerly told Lin Xiaoyue about Xiao Qing’s performance.
“You’re a top student indeed! Qing’er, I have high hopes for you!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Li Huaiyu entered the academy no later than Lin Yuanshan. Qing’er must be extraordinary to be able to get a compliment from him!
This kid was not ordinary, just like his uncle. She hoped that it was not a wrong decision to send him to the academy.
Xiao Qing’s face turned red.
He wondered what a “top student” meant.
“Yes. I will definitely work hard and not let everyone down.” Xiao Qing quickly stood up straight and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
Previously, he thought that he was a good-for-nothing who could not work for the family. Now, he had found his direction.
“Xiaozhi too! I’ll definitely work hard!” Seeing this, he also learned from Xiao Qing and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.
The three of them laughed.
“Alright, it’s not that easy. I don’t expect you to be an official or something. Go and learn some knowledge so that you can be a cultured person in the future!” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
In ancient times, education was not as easily obtained as in the 21st century. It would take at least several generations for the poor to change their family’s fate by taking the imperial examination.
Aptitude was one factor, but the other was the lack of teachers and teaching materials.
The children of poor families had limited access to good teachers and books.
In rich families, children were taught by famous teachers, and they had a large number of books to read at home. Their starting point and vision were on completely different levels.

In her previous life, she had been admitted to the county’s top middle school as the top student in a small village.
After that, no matter how hard she studied, she could only get into the top 100.
After that, she spent a lot of effort to get into a good niversity.
As for her roommates, some of them were from middle-class families in the county, and some of them were from high-income families.
Children from middle-class families had extracurricular lessons since elementary school.
On the other hand, children from high-income families were not only given one-on-one tutoring, they also attended foreign language classes, etiquette classes, and so on. Before they graduated from university, they were already preparing to study abroad.
That was the modern era with a developed economy. In ancient times, it was even more difficult to make a name for yourself.
She only hoped that the two children would work hard and not give themselves too much pressure.
“Yes!” The two children nodded. Their hearts were filled with happiness.
“Alright, go and play.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at the two children.
“Yes.” Xiao Qing bowed again.
Then, he left with Lin Xiaozhi.
