Zhu’s old house is smoking, Zhu Ping’an third aunt in the stove room is cooking, Zhu old man is sitting in the yard bar bar with dry cigarettes, wearing the same set of eighty per cent of the new green cloth straight embellishment, Zhu old lady is sitting on the opposite side of the Zhu old man picking vegetables.
The two of them are having a chat.
“The annunciators have been here for several days, why haven’t the swine come back yet.” Old Master Zhu took a drag on his dry cigarette and chanted.
Old Mrs Zhu stopped picking vegetables and shook them out of her hands, “Stop chattering, they’re all separated.”
Elder Zhu glared, “Even if the family is separated, he is still my grandson. Besides, it was you who spoilt the oldest four in the first place.”
“You’re blaming me for this, it wasn’t your idea to split up the family in the first place.” Old Mrs Zhu sneered back.
The old man Zhu will smoke pot hard to the chair knocked twice, the old lady Zhu this sentence uncovered to the old man Zhu heart that the most remorseful scars. At first if there is no that accident how good, fade out if he did not insist on sacrificing the oldest two to save the oldest most good, now swine child high school case head of the glory, also does not answer a little discount.
Now, alas, Zhu old man has sighed more than once.
“Well, all are our old Zhu family’s eldest grandson, no matter what, it can’t change.” Zhu old lady heartache Zhu old master, looking at Zhu old master’s remorseful expression, can not help but hurriedly put down the hand picking good vegetables, along Zhu old master comforted up.
Alas!
Elder Zhu let out another sigh.
Just then, the gate was heard creaking.
Then
“Grandparents.”
A naive, youthful voice came through the front door.
Hearing this voice, the sigh of regret on Elder Zhu’s face instantly dissipated, and he violently stood up from his chair with a face of ecstasy.
Old Mrs Zhu dropped the vegetables she was picking in her hand to the ground, and turned to look at the front door in disbelief.
“Ya, the swine child is back ah, ah, also brought this is chicken, and a piece of meat so big square”
Little Auntie Four appeared out of nowhere. Anyway, as soon as Zhu Pingan’s words fell, Little Auntie Four had already appeared, taking the large sea bowl from Zhu Pingan’s hand and chirping and whirring.
Long time no see. Auntie Little Four, the security inspector.
“Good day, Auntie Four.” Zhu Pingan greeted Auntie Xiao Si with a simple smile, just like last time.
“Good good good, swine child is better, you don’t know that the one who came to the house to announce the good news this time is even more noisy than the last time. The one from the county didn’t know the way and went to the wrong door, we thought at first that it was your eldest uncle who won the lottery.” Aunt Xiao Si was very enthusiastic, after saying that, she pulled Zhu Pingan’s arm and pulled it towards the courtyard, “Why are you still standing, quickly enter the house ah.”
When Auntie Xiao Si said that she went to the wrong door, Grandma and Grandpa still couldn’t help but blush a little after so many days.
“The swine are back.” Third Aunt, who was burning the fire in the stove room, also added a handful of dry wood before walking out of the stove room.
“Good day Third Aunt.” Zhu Pingan greeted with a simple smile.
“Swine’s son has really fought for the family.” Third Aunt was full of praise.
“Quickly, come inside and talk.” Grandfather carried a tobacco pot and waved his hand repeatedly, his face all smiles.
“Hm.” Zhu Pingan nodded his head. Then he walked towards his grandfather’s place.
“Swine’s son is here.” Great Aunt came out of the house at this time, her expression a bit frustrated.
Zhu Pingan also smiled nervously and greeted his great aunt.
Zhu Pingan went to the house and grandparents three aunts and four aunts talked for a while, grandparents than usual loving too much, small four aunts and other than the usual enthusiasm is very warm, no use of grandmother account, water are poured, and even brought a plate of fried melon seeds.
“Swine child ah, go back to your father to say, in a couple of days we old Zhu family also opened a running water banquet, also invited the village people to come and have a good time.” Grandfather took a drag on his dry cigarette. He was very positive about this.
Eh.
I don’t think so.
“The other day, our village chief even came over to mention that you’re the first in our village and the first in our town, so it’s a good idea to take advantage of this to inspire the younger students in our village.” Grandfather said this. He was full of pride.
“Well, good grandfather.” Zhu Pingan nodded his head.
After talking for a while longer in the old Zhu family mansion, Zhu Pingan politely declined his grandmother’s invitation to stay for dinner and went home with his empty bowl.
Before he could walk home, Zhu Pingan found his mother Chen sitting under a large tree in the light of the setting sun, chatting happily with five or six older women.
It was almost dinner time. Why did her mother Chen come out to chat? In the past, her mother was not too fond of chatting with these old ladies.
“Swine child, come here.”
When Mother Chen saw Zhu Pingan, she waved her hand from afar.
Zhu Pingan answered and walked over with large strides.
“Quickly, quickly tell Mother again, what are the benefits of this labour granary of yours, you told Mother at home, Mother didn’t remember.” Mother Chen’s face was full of pride ah when she asked Zhu Pingan.
Err.
Almost forgot about mother Chen’s showy attributes.
Zhu Pingan still knows what to do at this time, cooperate fully.
“Oh, from now on, my son will not have to pay taxes, and the military service will have nothing to do with my son.” Zhu Pingan cooperated with his mother, Chen, and opened his mouth.
When Zhu Pingan said one sentence, the pride on his mother Chen’s face increased by one point, and there was also anticipation in her eyes, looking forward to what Zhu Pingan would say next.
“My son is a granary student, a granary student is the best of the Xiu Cai, the Yamen will give my son six dou of rice every month, as well as fish, meat and oil miscellaneous granary supplements.” Zhu Pingan naturally understood the meaning of his mother’s lordship’s eyes.
“Every year the government also gives son at least four taels of silver.”
At this time, the older aunts and mothers sitting around their mother Chen were surprised and made noises, and of course, as her mother Chen listened to the aunts and mothers’ surprised noises, the smile and pride on her face grew even more intense.
“What else, I heard you say there was something about being on par with the county elder or something.” Mother Chen reminded.
Remembering so clearly and still saying that you didn’t remember, not good, old mum.
“I don’t kneel down to see the official, my son can also submit an invitation to see the county master at any time.” Zhu Pingan this will be completely cooperate with mother Chen.
“Even if the son made a mistake, the Yamen will not hit the son board, not to mention the penalty, unless the far away in Yingtian’s mention of the school officer adults cut the son’s merit.”
Mother Chen heard this and couldn’t help but hastily interrupt Zhu Pingan’s words, what is not good for Zhu Pingan, even if it is hypothetical, mother Chen couldn’t listen to it.
“Of course, son will not know the law and break it.” Zhu Pingan repeatedly assured, before mother Chen smiled joyfully.
“Ya, no wonder they all have to take the Xiu Cai exam, so Master Xiu Cai is so powerful.”
“Shouyi family, you just wait to enjoy your blessings.”
“That’s right, your family’s second son is really outstanding.”
At this time the surrounding aunts and mothers were surprised and envious, making mother Chen unable to stop her laughter.
Even on the way home, the smile on mother Chen’s face did not return. (To be continued.)
PS: Because of some things, this chapter was updated a little late, sorry. Chapter 144, 5 and 6 about the windswept woman have been revised, I hope you read it and do not begrudge the opinion. After the change of the chapter, starting point mobile network and computer web page to see the previous chapter can be directly point to solve, but starting point mobile client book friends may need to re-download chapters, previously loaded will not be automatically changed, delete the book, and then add the bookshelf can be read (thank you for the reminder of the winter has summer).
Finally, there is one more chapter in the evening, around eleven o’clock.
And finally, a cheeky plea for monthly votes.
It would be both a great honour and a great reward for me to be in the top six.
Thank you very much.
