Second Chance Chapter 49

Uncle travelled to the school to lead the girl back to the incident in the grandfather’s sticks and scolding was resolved, the woman was driven out of the house, by uncle tomorrow morning to go to the county town to return to friends; and so uncle came back, the first to the ancestral shrine to kneel for a day, and then grounded at home for six months to study hard, without the grandfather’s word is not allowed to go out of the Zhu family compound.

In fact, think about it, the grandfather is still favouring the eldest uncle, the punishment of the eldest uncle are not painless. In fact, the problem is not really solved, such as the problem of two Guan money, such as uncle outside the womanising problem, treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Things are so suppressed, but the aftermath of the incident can not be eliminated.

The relationship between auntie and uncle was on the verge of a cold war, and at night when I went back to my room, I could still hear auntie arguing with uncle in the room. Auntie is very much in love with uncle, also everywhere to uncle as proud, but uncle this time things are hurt auntie, auntie pulled down the face to ask the mother-in-law to ask for two money, the result is good, all was uncle eat, drink and have fun and lead girl home, auntie is very hurt, let uncle how to explain can not be, just want to make trouble.

However, we just went to bed not a moment, we heard Zhu Pingjun whimpering and crying ran to the yard, mouth also yelled killed me.

“The child’s father to see what’s wrong, how Jun’er crying out.” Mother Chen heard Zhu Pingjun’s cries in the courtyard, couldn’t help but push Zhu Shouyi beside her, and the two of them draped their clothes and came out.

Zhu Pingan and elder brother Zhu Pingchuan also both rubbed their eyes and came out to see what is going on, how come the eldest aunt and eldest uncle quarreled, how come they also hit Zhu Pingjun.

Over there, the three uncles and three aunts and four uncles and couples also came out, people asked what happened to Zhu Pingjun.

Then in Zhu Pingjun’s description, the incident was restored:

Between their quarrels, the eldest aunt and uncle started to pull Zhu Pingjun in order to fight each other better.

The great-uncle asked, “Jun, is Mother treating you well?”

Zhu Pingjun head, good.

This side of the eldest uncle is also not willing to show weakness, also opened his mouth to ask, “Jun’er, my father treats you well?”

Zhu Pingjun also head, good.

A round of both sides tied, which is naturally not the result that the eldest aunt and eldest uncle want, so the two went on to ask, “Jun, mother and father, who is good to you one.”

Zhu Ping Jun glanced at his parents and then answered, “You all treat me very well.”

Very good, so far, Zhu Pingjun’s answers were all very good, it was almost like he had overplayed his hand.

Great aunt and uncle followed up with, “So now that father and mother are quarrelling, which side are you on?”

Zhu Pingjun thoughtlessly looked up and answered, “I stand next to ……”

I stand beside …… Next to …… So Zhu Pingjun was mixed doubles by his great aunt and uncle, let you stand beside, let you stand beside ……

Zhu Pingjun is also speechless, stand next to, you stand next to be beaten. IQ is hard ah. But actually think about Zhu Pingjun really is also a victim, adult quarrel off the child what time, but adults are so, parents always like to ask children these questions every quarrel, want to find existence from the child here, but this dilemma you let the child how to answer. However, Jun’s answer does also owe a beating, any answer is better than this, even if you fall to one side, or better than two fists to beat people.

Everyone did not know what to do, just comfort Zhu Pingjun some, mother Chen let Zhu Pingjun go to Zhu Pingan and big brother as a companion, squeeze a room to make do for one night, and then everyone dispersed.

Mother’s order can not be disobeyed, Zhu Pingan and big brother had to bring Zhu Pingjun back to the room squeeze. Have to, Zhu Pingjun is really the representative of the heartless session, enter the door is still huffing it, lying on the bed in less than two minutes on the snoring, simply did not take today’s events as a matter of fact, perhaps in his eyes, as long as Mom and Dad are around it’s good, quarrels and what not, let him go. Gradually Zhu Pingchuan also went to sleep, only Zhu Pingan continued to struggle alone.

Zhu Pingan sat in front of the table and continued to copy the textbook. This time, he was copying the Thousand Character Essay, which had more words, so he didn’t think of finishing it in one night, and was going to finish it in two sessions, first copying a few hundred words tonight. The more he copied, the more Zhu Pingan felt that his relevance to the brush was getting higher and higher, the brush seemed to have become a part of his own body in his own hands, and there was a feeling that the brush seemed to have become one in his own hands, as if he was using it as a guide, and it was like fighting monsters and saving up enough experience value to upgrade. Brush character at the moment also has a progress, than before seems to be on a stage, before is a beginner, now it is equivalent to the first glimpse of the door.

Early the next morning before dawn, the eldest uncle was sent out by his grandfather to return Mei Ji, the meal did not even let him eat. Eldest uncle also wanted the road fee, the result was replaced by the grandfather a scolding, grey slipped away, but the grandmother chased after secretly stuffed some money, just don’t know how much it is.

The great-uncle seems to have not slept a night, the whole person haggard a lot, breakfast only half a bowl of congee, Chen and other sisters-in-law also unloaded contradictions, good words to comfort up. Zhu Pingjun also seemed to have understood, and sat according to his great-uncle’s mother, and did not make a fuss at the table like before. Zhu Pingan also sympathised with his great-uncle’s mother, but of course he didn’t eat less, and his grandfather couldn’t stop telling him and Zhu Pingjun to eat more food and more vegetables. Zhu Pingan warned his grandfather to let him, but also gave Yu’er the next stove, to Yu’er’s bowl to clip several pieces of scrambled eggs, the girl’s eyes narrowed into a crescent moon with joy.

Eldest uncle went to the county town in a mess to return Mei Ji, but when he came back, he came back refreshed and oiled, which made Zhu Pingan a little puzzled.

“Father and mother, I returned the person, my colleague knew what happened to me, and apologised to me again and again, it was the cause of my suffering, and gifted my son with half a guan of money for the journey. My son knew that he had committed a grave sin, and did not spend it, but brought it back to you two.” The eldest uncle’s words were cutting, very much like he knew his mistake and repented.

Grandmother was very relieved ah, even with grandfather, know the mistake can be corrected, the eldest is still a good boy, just be deluded.

Grandfather saw the eldest son lost his way and returned, his anger subsided some, but there was still a lot of fire in the air, and the punishment of the eldest uncle did not decrease in the slightest.

For the punishment, the eldest gladly accepted, his own mistakes big, should be punished, in the future must clean up his heart and do well as a scholar, must be examined in the Xiu Cai in the lift man for the old Zhu family glory ancestors.

Uncle before leaving the great aunt pulled to the room, is to apologise, in the room and quietly gave the great aunt half a slam of money, is a friend gifted a consistent, their own half a slam of money to the second old man, this half a slam on the daughter-in-law to make amends, the daughter-in-law is so beautiful and virtuous should go to buy some rouge and powder ……

In the eldest uncle’s sweet words and half a guan of money under the offensive, the eldest aunt’s anger also subsided a lot.

When the eldest uncle went to the ancestral hall to face the wall and repent, the anger in the family had already been extinguished by him for a large part of the fire, and the rest was just a matter of time. For this, Zhu Pingan had to admire the wrists of the eldest uncle, read the four books and five sutras eight-legged text did not read stupid, but more and more treacherous, I do not know is the eight-legged text of the Ming Dynasty is not as forbidden as the Qing Dynasty so much thought, or is the eldest uncle is a special case, the proximity of the readers is too little to find a comparison, only to wait for themselves to go out of the village in order to come to a conclusion.
