Smoke is rising from the Zhu family's old house. Aunt Zhu Ping'an is cooking in the kitchen. Mr. Zhu is sitting in the yard smoking a dry pipe. He is still wearing the same 80% new blue cloth suit. Mrs. Zhu is sitting in the kitchen. Picking vegetables opposite Mr. Zhu.
The two of them chatted about each other.
"The messengers have been here for several days, why hasn't Pig come back yet?" Mr. Zhu took a puff of his cigarette and began to mutter.
Old Mrs. Zhu stopped picking vegetables and shook the vegetables in her hand, "Stop talking about it, we are all separated."
Mr. Zhu glared, "If we separate the family, he will be my grandson. Besides, it was you who spoiled the boss and the fourth."
"You're blaming me now. It wasn't your idea to separate the family in the first place." Mrs. Zhu retorted.
Mr. Zhu knocked the pipe pot hard against the chair twice. Mrs. Zhu's words revealed the scar that he regretted most in his heart. It would have been better if there hadn't been that accident, and it would have been better if he hadn't insisted on sacrificing the second child to save the eldest son. Now, the honor of being the head of the case at Xue'er High School doesn't give any discount.
Now, alas, Mr. Zhu has sighed more than once.
"Well, they are all the eldest grandsons of our old Zhu family. Nothing will change." Mrs. Zhu felt sorry for Mr. Zhu. Seeing Mr. Zhu's regretful expression, she couldn't help but hurriedly put down the vegetables she had picked and followed Mr. Zhu's instructions. Comforted.
well
Mr. Zhu sighed again.
Just then, the door creaked.
Then
"Grandfather grandmother."
A simple and youthful voice came from the door.
Hearing this voice, the sigh and regret on Mr. Zhu's face suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly stood up from the chair with a look of ecstasy.
Mrs. Zhu threw all the vegetables she picked on the ground, turned around and looked at the door in disbelief.
"Ah, the pig is back. Ah, he brought chicken and a piece of meat as big as this..."
The fourth aunt appeared out of nowhere. Anyway, as soon as Zhu Pingan finished speaking, the fourth aunt had already appeared, took the big bowl from Zhu Pingan's hand, and started chattering.
haven't seen you for a long time. The security inspector’s aunt.
"Hello, fourth aunt." Zhu Pingan greeted his fourth aunt with a naive smile just like last time.
"Okay, okay, Pigeon is better. You don't know that the people who came to announce the good news this time are even louder than last time. You don't know. The people from the county didn't know the way and went to the wrong door. We thought it was him at first. Your uncle has been hit." The fourth aunt was very enthusiastic. After speaking, she took Zhu Ping'an's arm and pulled her into the yard, "Why are you still standing? Come into the house quickly."
When the fourth aunt mentioned that she had gone to the wrong door, my grandparents still couldn't help but blush a little after so many days.
"The pig is back." The third aunt who was lighting the fire in the kitchen also added a handful of dry firewood and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hello, third aunt." Zhu Pingan said hello with a naive smile.
"She'er really brings pride to the family." The third aunt was full of praise.
"Quick, come inside and talk." Grandfather held the pipe and pot, waving repeatedly with a smile on his face.
"Yeah." Zhu Pingan nodded. Then he walked to his grandfather.
"The pig is here." The eldest aunt walked out of the house at this time, her expression a little confused.
Zhu Pingan also greeted his aunt with a naive smile.
Zhu Ping'an arrived at the house and talked for a long time with his grandparents, three aunts, and others. His grandparents were much kinder than before, and his fourth aunt was also more enthusiastic than before. The water was poured without grandmother's explanation, and even A plate of fried melon seeds was also brought.
"Xie'er, go back and tell your father that in two days our old Zhu's family will also hold a flowing banquet, and invite the villagers to join in the fun." Grandfather took a puff of dry cigarette. Very positive about this.
Well
No need for it.
"A few days ago, our village leader came over and mentioned that you are the first person in charge of the case in our village and also the number one in our town. It is just right to use this matter to inspire the younger generations in our village." When my grandfather said this. Full of pride.
"Well, okay grandpa." Zhu Pingan nodded.
After chatting for a while in the Zhu family's old house, Zhu Pingan declined his grandmother's invitation to stay for dinner and went home with an empty bowl.
Before reaching home, Zhu Ping'an found his mother, Mrs. Chen, sitting under a big tree under the light of the setting sun, chatting happily with five or six aunts.
It's almost time to eat. Why did my mother, Mrs. Chen, come out to chat? In the past, my mother didn't like chatting with these aunts.
"Xie'er, come here."
When her mother, Mrs. Chen, saw Zhu Pingan, she waved her hand from a distance.
Zhu Pingan responded and strode over.
"Quick, tell me quickly, tell me what good is it for you to work hard as a junior student? You can tell your mother at home, but she won't remember it." When her mother, Mrs. Chen, asked Zhu Ping'an, her face was filled with pride.
Well
I almost forgot about my mother Chen’s show-off attributes.
Zhu Pingan still knows what to do at this time and will cooperate with him fully.
"Oh, my son won't have to pay taxes in the future, and military service has nothing to do with him." Zhu Pingan cooperated with his mother, Chen, and said.
When Zhu Pingan said something, her mother Chen's face became more proud, and her eyes were full of expectation, expecting Zhu Pingan to continue.
"My son is a Linsheng, and Linsheng is the best among the scholars. The Yamen will give my son six buckets of rice every month, as well as fish, meat, oil and miscellaneous Linsei." Zhu Ping'an naturally understood the meaning of his mother's eyes.
"Every year the government gives my son at least four taels of silver."
At this time, the aunts and aunts sitting around mother Chen all made sounds of surprise. Of course, mother Chen listened to the aunts and aunts' surprised sounds, and the smile and pride on her face became stronger.
"Also, I heard what you said about being on an equal footing with the county master." Mother Chen reminded her.
It’s not good to remember it so clearly and still say you don’t remember it, mom.
"You don't have to kneel when you meet an official. Your son can also submit a greeting card to meet the county master at any time." Zhu Ping'an was completely cooperating with his mother Chen.
"Even if my son makes a mistake, the yamen will not slap him, let alone punish him, unless Mr. Tixueguan, who is far away in Yingtian, reduces his reputation..."
"Bah, bah, bah, we won't break the law." Mother Chen couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Pingan when she heard this. She couldn't bear to hear anything bad about Zhu Pingan, even if it was hypothetical.
"Of course, my son will not break the law knowingly." Zhu Ping'an assured repeatedly, and his mother, Mrs. Chen, beamed with joy.
"Ah, no wonder we have to take the scholar exam. It turns out that the scholar is so good."
"As a member of the Shouyi family, just wait and enjoy the blessings."
"That's right, your second son is really promising."
At this time, the aunties and aunts around were surprised and envious, making mother Chen unable to stop laughing.
Even on the way home, the smile on mother Chen's face never took off. (To be continued.)
PS: Due to some things, this chapter was updated a little late, sorry. The content about promiscuous women in Chapters 144, 5, and 6 has been revised. I hope everyone will not be stingy with their opinions after reading it. For the changed chapters, you can directly click on the previous chapters on the Qidian mobile website and computer website. However, book friends on the Qidian mobile client may need to re-download the chapters. The previously loaded chapters will not be automatically changed. Delete the book first and then add it. You can read as soon as you get off the bookshelf (thank you for the reminder about the beginning of winter and the beginning of summer).
Finally, there is another chapter in the evening, around eleven o'clock.
Finally, I shamelessly ask for monthly votes.
If I can be ranked among the top six, it would be both a great honor and a valuable reward for me.
Thanks.
