Anqiu County, Qingzhou Prefecture
"Name! Household registration!"
"Zheng Ping, from Xiadaokou Village, Anqiu County."
Wow wow wow!
Anqiu Mansion's accounting book was flipped through the yellow book in front of him for a long time, and his tone was unkind,
"There is no Zheng Ping in the yellow list?! Are you here to adopt Lao Yin?!"
The man in his thirties nodded. The man looked elegant, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes added to his approachability.
"Oh, hurry up! There are so many people queuing behind us!"
"Is it so slow to adopt Lao Yin?"
"This man is Zheng Ping, I know him! He's from Daokou Village! His mother is the Hu family, how is it possible that she's not registered?"
There was a very long queue behind Zheng Ping, all of whom were here to adopt Lao Yin.
Pension banks have not been implemented for long, and it took a lot of effort to spread them to localities and villages.
After all, this is a huge pressure on the central finance.
I heard that Mr. Xia, the Minister of Household Affairs and the God of Wealth, took a long time to distribute the money.
Anqiu County Accountant roared,
"Don't make any noise!"
Then he glared at Zheng Ping fiercely, lowered his head and flipped through the pornographic book again.
"Found it, Mrs. Hu.
You say you! When you come to adopt Lao Yin, you naturally have to ask for your mother's name.
You said your own name, how can I check it? "
Zheng Ping quickly nodded and bowed to apologize.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bother you."
Uh-huh! Snapped!
Ji Bo was no longer too lazy to talk to Zheng Ping. He tore off a note next to him and pressed the Shangguan seal.
"Go to the back and pay."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Zheng Ping took the note with both hands, and his gesture of thanks was very exaggerated.
Although this person looks elegant and easy-going, his expressions and movements are so exaggerated that others think this person is contemptuous, and they will look down on him at first impression.
"Next!"
The Anqiu County Accountant ignored Zheng Ping. Zheng Ping stood there awkwardly for a while.
"Sir, then I will go to the back to pay."
Zheng Ping took the bill and paid out this month's pension money. Holding these pieces of silver, Zheng Ping let out a sigh of relief.
This month, I have been able to withstand it.
Zheng Ping walked out of the Anqiu County Yamen. Unknowingly, snowflakes were already falling in the sky. Zheng Ping shivered. How could the shabby single clothes on his body withstand the severe cold?
"Brother, can you buy some hot sesame cakes?"
This sesame seed seller at the yamen gate, because of the pension policy issued by the central government, made a small fortune just by selling sesame seed cakes to people who came to and from the yamen to withdraw their pension funds.
However, I heard that the distant relative of the sesame seed seller was working in the government office. Otherwise, such a good Feng Shui treasure would not be his turn.
Zheng Ping sniffed the fragrant hot air, and his stomach growled. Zheng Ping swallowed subconsciously, then shook his head and said,
"Brother, I won't eat anymore. I'm still at home. I'm not worried, so I'll go back first."
"hehe."
Zheng Ping strode away, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and drank cold water. The cold water rushed down his throat, diluting his hunger a little, but Zheng Ping felt even colder.
The man selling sesame cakes spat towards Zheng Ping's leaving figure.
"Poor!"
"We are selling sesame cakes! Hot sesame cakes! Two cents each!"
Zheng Pingping left Anqiu Mansion and returned to Daokou Village along the rural road.
It normally takes an hour to walk, but now that there is snow on the ground, it is very strenuous to walk. It will take half an hour longer anyway.
The world of falling snow is exceptionally quiet, and there is a calming and reassuring feeling between heaven and earth. Although Zheng Ping is shivering from the cold, he is in a good mood.
The scenery between heaven and earth is free, does not require any money, and can be enjoyed by everyone.
Zheng Ping exhaled a breath of white air, and with his peripheral vision, he spotted two figures in the distance. He subconsciously wanted to avoid them, but the road was empty and there was no way he could avoid them.
The two aunts who came towards me saw Zheng Ping at a glance.
"Zheng Ping!"
Zheng Ping put on an exaggerated smile and greeted,
"Aunt Zhang! Aunt Li!"
The contempt in the eyes of the two aunts flashed away, and they were replaced by friendly smiles.
"How's it going? Have you received your pension?"
"I got it!"
Zheng Ping patted the broken silver on his chest and made a sound. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li looked at each other with joy on their faces.
"If you don't see it, I'll tell you to go early! Come on!"
Zheng Ping said gratefully,
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Even though Zheng Ping knew it well, these two ladies would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything.
I came to my house early in the morning to talk about this pension fund, just so that I could check it out first.
If they get it, they will go get it. If they can't get it, they don't have to make the trip in vain.
Aunt Zhang said half truthfully,
"You are right. Without me reminding you, you really wouldn't be able to get the pension money. You can't bring a chicken to the door. Thank me?"
Zheng Ping's smile froze on his face and he hesitated,
"this....."
Aunt Zhang’s eyes flashed,
"Hahaha, I'm joking with you, do you really take it seriously?"
Aunt Li tightened Auntie Nervous's arm.
"Okay, let's go quickly, we won't be able to get it if we wait a little longer."
"Yes, yes, let's go then."
Zheng Ping greeted,
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, walk slowly."
After the two of them walked a certain distance, a mean look finally appeared on Aunt Zhang's face.
"Haha, did you see him like that? Can I really want his chicken? It's a good thing you didn't marry the girl to him!"
"Why don't you tell me? He passed some exam back then, and that made him proud. Now he has shown his true colors.
If my girl follows him, she will suffer for the rest of her life. "
"Who says it's not the case? You said he's so poor and has a half-paralyzed old lady... Tsk, tsk, tsk.
He doesn't even have a job every day. He is so poor. He stays by his mother's side every day. The two of them can't even drink rice soup. Is this filial piety?
If you ask me, he might as well do some needlework, earn some money, and let his mother eat something hot. This is true filial piety! "
"Okay, stop talking about him. The thought of him smiling so disgustingly makes me sick."
Even if Zheng Ping didn't hear with his own ears how the village aunt arranged for him, he could still make a guess. A few years ago, he would have been sad, but now he is used to it.
That exam, the exam that people in the village can’t name, is actually the provincial exam.
Zheng Ping studied hard as a young boy and ranked first in high school. He was the most popular person in Daokou Village that year.
The person who came to ask for sex trampled the door of Zheng Ping's house to pieces.
Zheng Ping lost his father when he was young, and his family was poor. He was able to study hard for many years, but it was his mother who shouldered the burden.
A skinny woman who does everything from farming to cooking, her mother always looks full of energy, even if she only drinks a little rice cereal after a tiring day.
This strong woman was right in her bet. Zheng Ping took the lead. After taking this step, everything will be smooth sailing.
However, a disaster struck from heaven. Not long after Zheng Ping came back to Daokou Village with the first place in the rural examination, his mother became paralyzed and could no longer get out of bed.
It seems that the breath that I have been holding has finally been released...
Zheng Ping grabbed the pieces of silver through his clothes and quickened his pace.
The weather is very cold. The firewood I went out to burn in the morning should be almost completely burned.
Mom is suffering from the cold! You have to go home quickly!
