Closer to home, when the meal was almost finished, there was still a piece of scrambled egg left. Grandma habitually put the egg into Zhu Pingjun's bowl. As a result, the egg was loose, half of it was caught on the chopsticks, and half of it fell on the table. Grandma gave half of the chopsticks to Zhu Pingjun and dropped the other half on the table. When she was about to marry Zhu Pingjun, she saw that Zhu Pingjun seemed to dislike the eggs that fell on the table. Maybe she was thinking of the scene before the meal. Well, maybe it was a matter of balance, so grandma put the small piece of egg that fell on the table into Zhu Ping'an's bowl.
It’s a bit flattering!
This is the first time my grandmother has picked up food for herself, even though she dropped it on the table.
"Thank you, grandma." Zhu Ping'an smiled naively at Mrs. Zhu.
Her grandson was so sensible, which touched the partial grandmother's heart a little, but of course it was only fleeting, because in her heart, her eldest son and her youngest son's family were the ones who cared about her. The eldest son had a good future in studying and taking exams, and the younger son had a good future. Thoughtful, the remaining two sons have married wives and forgotten their mothers, especially the second daughter-in-law, who is the most careless, the instigating second son has almost forgotten my mother.
Zhu Pingan is not going to eat this piece of egg by himself, not because it fell on the table. You must know that since arriving at the farmhouse in this life, if you want to pay attention to hygiene like in the previous life, then you have to wait until you are starved to bones. The conditions are there. , Besides, the countryside is purely natural and pollution-free. If you drop it on the ground, just rinse it with water and it will be fine.
The main reason is the little girl Zhu Pingyu sucking her finger next to her. This life is an era where boys are favored over girls. Although she is not favored by her grandparents, as a boy, her grandmother takes more care of her than Xiao Yuer.
Moreover, just before my meal, my mother secretly gave me an egg.
"For my sister to eat." Zhu Ping'an held the egg with chopsticks and put it into Xiao Yu'er's small bowl, saying in a warm voice.
Zhu Ping'an's move attracted the attention of everyone at the dinner table. Everyone was very curious. You must know that scrambled eggs are unusual in farmhouses. They usually save money and sell them. Especially in the Zhu family, scrambled eggs are a rare dish. , and even if there are, most of them are given by Mrs. Zhu to the uncles and uncles. Zhu Ping'an and the others basically can't eat them, so it's rare now that Zhu Ping'an gives up a piece of egg to Xiao Yu'er, which is much more difficult than Kong Rong's giving up a pear. At that time, pears were common in the wealthy family of Kong Rong. Unlike the Zhu family at that time, a plate of scrambled eggs was rarely seen every month, and even if they were seen, they could not be eaten.
Zhu Ping'an was able to give up the egg in his mouth to Xiao Yu'er, which suddenly refreshed everyone's outlook on life! Zhu Pingan, this kid is really sensible!
Xiao Yu'er stared at the scrambled eggs with big eyes, without blinking, and her saliva flowed out.
But at this time, the third aunt Zhang put the eggs into Zhu Ping'an's bowl again, "Come on, Yu'er, thank you brother She'er. She'er is so good, but it's better for She'er to keep it for herself. Grandma gave me these eggs." Hurry, Hurry, eat quickly and grow taller and be filial to your grandmother."
Although Xiao Yu'er was greedy for scrambled eggs, she still drooled and thanked Zhu Pingan in an obedient and sensible manner, "Thank you, brother She'er, Yu'er, Yu'er doesn't eat scrambled eggs."
The little boy said he wouldn't eat anything, but his eyes were fixed on the scrambled eggs, and drool came out of his mouth.
The little loli is so cute, a little kid thought to himself, but he forgot that he also had short legs.
Zhu Pingan picked up the egg again, raised his little arm and put it in Xiao Yu'er's mouth. He was very like an older brother and said nicely, "I love watching my sister eat scrambled eggs."
The eggs are soft and fragrant in the mouth. How can a child not have the willpower not to eat them? Besides, they have already been eaten, so how can they be taken out for others to eat?
After just eating a piece of scrambled eggs as small as a fingernail, Xiao Yuer showed an expression of enjoyment and happiness, and she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips in a cute way, like a kitten drinking water.
"Is it delicious, sister Yu'er?" Zhu Ping'an asked Xiao Yu'er with his mouth bulging while eating the multi-grain flour cake in his hand.
"It's delicious, thank you, brother She'er." Xiao Yu'er answered with a sweet voice, waving her eyebrows.
The scrambled eggs had already been eaten, and the third aunt had no choice but to accept it. She felt more and more that Zhu Ping'an was smart and cute, especially compared to his eldest brother Zhu Pingjun, who only ate alone and showed off his temper.
The third aunt touched Zhu Ping'an's head with envy, looked back and joked with Mrs. Chen with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, I really envy you for having two good sons. You'er loves your younger sister. You taught her so well. When she grows up, He must be a good and filial boy."
There is no mother who doesn't like others to praise her son, especially Chen, who still has a little problem with showing off. Naturally, she was very happy. She waved her hands and said something, but the pride on her face could not be concealed. With Zhang, Joking endlessly.
Ahem
The eldest aunt on the other side was not happy. In her heart, his son was the best, but he had to go to school to be a scholar. The divination master in the town had seen it and said that his son was a Wenqu star descended to earth.
Thinking of this, the eldest aunt Wu rubbed her husband with her leg and motioned for him to tell Mr. Zhu about letting Zhu Pingjun go to school.
The uncle lowered his head to eat and ignored his wife's signals. He felt that his wife was short-sighted. After the brothers and sisters made such a fuss today, it was obvious that it was not a good time to mention this matter. Moreover, it cost a lot to study and take exams. The brothers already had opinions. If his son If you also want to go to school, it's not easy to say. You should discuss it with your parents while the younger brothers are away. After the established fact is established, it will be useless for the younger brother's family to have any opinions.
The eldest aunt was a peasant woman, but she did not have the palace of her uncle. Seeing that her husband did not speak, she still thought about her son becoming the number one scholar, so she couldn't hold back her anger and spoke, "Mom and dad, you see Jun'er is seven years old. He's grown up, and it's not a problem to hang around like this all the time. I thought, our neighboring village, Shanghe Village, has opened a private school for Mr. Sun, a scholar, in the elementary school. It would be better for our handsome son to also go to the elementary school, so that it would be better for us in the future. Lao Zhu's family is proud of its lintel."
Such words made Zhu Pingan prick up his ears and study, which he especially needed. On the one hand, you can study the Four Books and Five Classics for the imperial examination. On the other hand, it is also a way to cover up your experience and ideas that are hundreds of years ahead. After all, there are beautiful faces in the books. In this era, everyone highly respects scholars. After entering school, if you have any Understanding and knowledge beyond ordinary people can be pushed forward to study.
Everything is inferior, only reading is good. This is an unbreakable truth in this era. Even a millionaire would not dare to retaliate when being scolded by a cash-strapped scholar in this era. Moreover, in this era, studying is the main and most effective way for children from poor families to advance into the world.
So, Zhu Ping'an also raised his fat paw, "I want to learn from him too."
"You are so ignorant, why should you study? Besides, not everyone can enter the school. You have to be the Wenqu star in the sky. Our Jun'er has been fortune-telling and approved by the master. It is the Wenqu star who has come down to earth." She was the first to object to Zhu Ping'an's enrollment in school. She also knew that the money at home was simply not enough for two people to go to school. They were already eating gruel and vegetables. If both of them were to go to school, the family would definitely be in trouble.
The eldest aunt's words were all about belittling Zhu Ping'an and promoting Zhu Pingjun, which made Mrs. Chen very unhappy. However, Mrs. Chen was more worried about the eldest uncle's family. The uncle was a scholar. She had to rely on her uncle, so Mrs. Chen just frowned, thinking that even if she didn't speak, someone would speak up, so there was no need to offend her uncle's family.
Sure enough, before Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, someone couldn't help it anymore, and the fourth aunt immediately expressed her objection.
"Sister-in-law, our family is almost in trouble, but we don't have any money left to support another scholar, right? Mother. I think it would be better to wait until our family saves some money before letting Jun'er go to school." What the fourth aunt said What he said was quite good, and he also knew how to enlist Mrs. Zhu as an ally. She expressed opposition to the issue of elementary education but did not oppose it decisively. She also left some room for it. On the one hand, she said that the family had already supported her uncle to study, and on the other hand, she said Now because the family can't take the blame, they don't let Jun'er get an education. They will let Jun'er get an education when the family has enough money. As for when the family will have enough money, it's hard to say. Anyway, since the fourth aunt came into the Zhu family, the Zhu family has always been There is no money left to live lavishly. ;
