After breakfast, Zhu Pingan went to the old mansion, in addition to the top quality tobacco bought in town, Zhu father let Zhu Pingan carry two pheasants, a fat rabbit, two fish, all of which were hunted in the mountains by Zhu father and big brother, although mother Chen did not say anything, but her face looked a little unhappy.
“I’ve been to the old mansion and the Enshu’s place, so I’ll go home and study well, and when the time comes, my son will earn my mother a grant wife to come.”
Zhu Pingan saw his mother Chen’s somewhat unhappy, knowing that she has always been dissatisfied with the old house, before leaving the door to deliberately tease his mother Chen’s happy.
“Just know to fool mother with those have-nots, well go quickly, come back early, mother will make you delicious food.” Mother Chen’s face was much better, waved her hand and urged Zhu Pingan to go and return quickly.
After bidding farewell to his mother, Zhu Pingan carried his things towards the old mansion. Along the way, he met quite a few neighbours and addressed them as uncle and aunt, the neighbours asked the same questions as yesterday, all about the exam, and they felt that Zhu Pingan had given the village a long face.
This is only to where it, the first step of the imperial examinations only, Zhu Pingan was praised by the neighbours are some blush.
From home to the old house is only a few minutes away, this will be to talk to the neighbours, hard to walk more than ten minutes to the old house.
Pushing open the door of the old house, he called out to his grandparents.
The first thing that came into view was Aunt Xiao Si’s figure rushing in an arrow’s pace as well as her staggering voice, “Ya, the swine child is back ah, mother, mother quickly come ah, the swine child is back, ah, how to still take things ah, chickens, rabbits, and fish ah.”
Auntie Xiao Si said, while nonchalantly receiving the pheasants and rabbits in Zhu Pingan’s hand, she hadn’t seen any meat and fish for several days.
It’s been a long time, airport security.
“Good day, Auntie Four.” Zhu Pingan greeted Auntie Xiao Si with a simple smile.
“Well well well, the swine child is better, can give our old Zhu family face, that day there were gongs and drums, you don’t know how lively it was.” Aunt Xiao Si had a chicken and fish in one hand and a rabbit in the other, and her face was all smiles as well.
Soon after Aunt Xiao Si’s voice, grandmother also came out from the room, a head of white hair combed neatly.
“Swine child is back, your grandfather has been missing you for a long time, quickly enter the house, Old Fourth’s family go and pour a bowl of water for the swine child.” Grandmother didn’t seem to be in very good spirits, but when she saw the pheasants, rabbits and fish that Zhu Pingan had brought, she seemed to look a little better.
Along with Grandma came Grandfather, who wore the new 80% green cloth that he usually didn’t want to wear, and cleaned up neatly.
“Swine child is here, good, good, good grandson.” Grandfather saw Zhu Pingan is to praise, some days ago the town came to report the good news, at that time the grandfather he happened to be present, when those who came to know that he is Zhu Pingan’s grandfather, a burst of bragging about the grandfather raised a good grandson, the future will certainly have a great success, this is the town’s youngest student, or the entire Anqing Province, the first, the grandfather was touted by some of the fluttering, the only regret is that at that time to wear is the rough clothes, not decent enough, so the days after that, the grandfather was a bit fluttering, the only regret is that at that time wearing is coarse clothes, not decent enough, so the days after that. The only regret is that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, not decent enough, so the days after that grandfather has been wearing this set of eighty per cent of the new coarse cloth straight embellishment.
Zhu Pingan also timely bought from the town of high-quality tobacco in the hands of the grandfather, so that the grandfather is even happier, and even said a few good words.
Into the room, grandfather they asked about some of the examination, Zhu Pingan also said in detail.
“Since I was a child, I have watched the swine child be different, I knew that the swine child would surely land on his head one day.” Little Auntie Four touched Zhu Pingan’s head, and finally said with quite a bit of emotion.
Heads will fall to the ground?
It’s out of the world, right?
If you don’t know how to use idioms, don’t use them. It’s creepy to listen to. That said, when I was a kid, you didn’t think I had a head start, did you? I washed my hands and you said I was possessed.
“It’s out of the ordinary.” Grandfather heavily knocked the tobacco pot on the table and corrected.
“Oh oh, it is out of people, coughing ……” Aunt Xiao Si covered her mouth and changed her mouth in a hurry.
After a while, grandmother couldn’t help herself, so she opened her mouth and asked Zhu Pingan, “Swine child, how is your eldest uncle now, has he recovered from his illness?”
Zhu Pingan was asked a stunned, what disease, when did the eldest uncle get sick, eldest uncle in the outside life not to mention how comfortable how good, where ever what disease ah.
“You don’t hide me, your uncle wrote home, said he was sick are you take care of, let the family entrusted people to give him two times to bring money. He also said that he instructed you not to tell us for fear that we would worry. It’s just that he didn’t have enough money for his medication, so he wrote home. The family doesn’t have enough money, your aunt went to the Yue family yesterday to borrow money to entrust someone to send it to him, and now they haven’t even come back yet.”
Grandmother’s face had a worried, worried look.
Er.
So that’s why Grandmother was worried!
Great uncle is really too much! Looking at the worried grandmother, think of going to her mother’s home to borrow money aunt, and then think of the Anqing Drunken King House in the dashing and suave uncle, Zhu Pingan on their own this moral appearance of the extreme uncle is really completely speechless, want money on the money well, you also the whole sick let the whole family to follow the worry, there is a kind of hate for the feeling of steel.
But now say out, and afraid of grandmother they can not accept, and the eldest uncle have written a letter in advance to set up a good, the eldest uncle and good at doing face work, he said out, grandmother aunt and uncle will not believe it.
After talking for a while, Zhu Pingan will leave.
Grandfather stopped to not let go, said they let grandmother Zhu Pingan brought the chicken rabbit fish rectification rectification, let Zhu Pingan stay to eat and then go back until Zhu Pingan said also to go to the teacher Sun old master there, grandfather only let go of Zhu Pingan to go.
“Swine, study hard, your eldest uncle is sure to win this time, you should also study hard to honour your family.” Grandfather admonished Zhu Pingan at the doorway.
Big uncle is indeed steady, steady can’t pass!
Zhu Pingan spat silently in his heart, but seeing his grandfather’s expectant face, he still didn’t have the heart to say what his eldest uncle had done.
The great uncle cannot be counted on to honour his ancestors, he can only rely on himself.
Only after Zhu Pingan finished spitting in his heart, he once again saw his grandfather’s and other people’s head of luck, but this time, in addition to seeing the white luck on top of their heads, he also vaguely saw something else in the luck, but it was just too blurry to see clearly.
How some changes, strange.
However, this thing has always been very ribbed qi, qi subtle elusive, but also can only see, on their own and no substantial help, Zhu Pingan also did not put it too much on the heart.
Begging for people like swallowing a three-foot sword, relying on people like on the nine heavens, all things only their own efforts are the most reliable.
After blinking slightly and calming his mood, Zhu Pingan said goodbye to his grandparents and turned around to leave!
