Chapter 49 IQ is a flaw
The incident of the uncle bringing a girl back from a study tour was resolved under the angry scolding of his grandfather with a stick. The girl was kicked out of the house and the uncle will go to the county town early tomorrow morning to return her to her friend; etc. When the uncle came back, he first went to the ancestral hall to kneel for a day, and then he was confined at home for half a year and studied hard. He was not allowed to leave the Zhu family compound without his grandfather's instructions.
Actually, if you think about it, my grandfather still favored his uncle, and his punishments were always mild. In fact, the problems have not really been solved, such as the problem of two-way money, such as the problem of the uncle's flirting with women outside, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
The matter has been suppressed like this, but the aftermath of the matter cannot be eliminated.
For example, the relationship between the uncle and the uncle became tense because of this incident. After returning to the room at night, I still heard the uncle arguing with the uncle in the room. The eldest aunt loves the uncle very much and is always proud of the uncle. But what happened to the uncle this time hurt the eldest aunt. The eldest aunt looked down and asked her mother-in-law for two pieces of money. The result was not good. The uncle had to eat, drink and have fun with the girl. When I got home, my aunt was very hurt. No matter how she explained, she just wanted to make trouble.
At night, everyone fell asleep, but not long after, they heard a cry coming from the yard, which was Zhu Pingjun's cry.
“Dad, look what’s wrong, Jun’er came out crying.” Not long after her mother Chen fell asleep, she was awakened by Zhu Pingjun’s cry, and couldn’t help but pull the snoring Zhu Shouyi away. They got up, put on their clothes and went to the yard to see what was going on.
The eldest brother Zhu Pingjun also woke up, got dressed and walked out of the house. Zhu Pingan also put down his brush and followed him out to see what was going on. The uncle and aunt were having a conflict, and why did Zhu Pingjun start crying.
The third uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family in the west wing also came out. Everyone gathered around Zhu Pingjun in the yard and asked what happened and why he was crying.
Then under Zhu Pingjun’s description, the incident was restored:
During the quarrel, the aunt and uncle began to win over Zhu Pingjun in order to better attack each other.
The eldest aunt asked: "Jun'er, is mother good to you?"
Zhu Pingjun nodded and said yes.
Not to be outdone, the uncle here also asked, "Jun'er, how good will my father be to you?"
Zhu Pingjun also nodded and said yes.
The two sides ended the round in a draw, which was naturally not the result that the aunt and uncle wanted, so they asked again, "Jun'er, mother or father, who treats you better?"
Zhu Pingjun watched He glanced at his parents and then replied, "You are all very good to me."
Very good. So far, Zhu Pingjun's answers have been very good, which is simply extraordinary.
The eldest aunt and uncle then asked, "Now that father and mother are quarreling, which side are you on?"
Zhu Pingjun looked up and replied without thinking, "I'm on my side. Beside.”
I stood by the side, so Zhu Pingjun was beaten by his aunt and uncle. They asked you to stand by, let you stand by.
Zhu Ping'an was also speechless, stand by, you can stand by and get beaten. IQ is a flaw. But in fact, if you think about it, Zhu Pingjun is indeed a victim. When adults quarrel, children will not be punished. But adults are like this. Parents always like to ask their children these questions every time they quarrel, trying to find a sense of presence from their children. But how do you let your children deal with these two dilemmas? answer. However, Brother Jun's answer does not deserve a beating. Any answer is better than this. Even if you fall to one side, it is better than hitting someone with two fists.
No one knew what to say, they just comforted Zhu Pingjun. Mother Chen asked Zhu Pingjun to keep Zhu Ping'an and his eldest brother company, and squeezed into a room to survive for one night, and then everyone Dispersed.
My mother's orders could not be violated, so Zhu Ping'an and his eldest brother had no choice but to take Zhu Pingjun back to the room for a squeeze. I have to say that Zhu Pingjun is really the representative of the unintentional class. He was sobbing when he came in. He started snoring within two minutes of lying on the bed. He didn't take today's incident seriously at all. Maybe in his eyes, as long as his parents are together Just be by your side and let him go if you have any quarrels or whatever. Gradually, Zhu Pingchuan also fell asleep, and only Zhu Ping'an continued to fight alone.
Zhu Pingan sat at the table and continued to copy the textbook. This time I copied a thousand-character essay, which contained a relatively large number of words. I had not thought of copying it all in one night, so I planned to copy it in two parts. I would first copy a few hundred words tonight. The more he copied, the more Zhu Ping'an felt that the connection between himself and the brush was getting higher and higher. The brush seemed to become a part of his body in his hands. There was a feeling that the brush seemed to be integrated into his hands, like using fingers and arms. It feels like you have accumulated enough experience points from killing monsters to level up. Brush calligraphy has also made a small progress now. It seems to be on a higher level than before. I was a beginner before, but now it is equivalent to a first glimpse of the ropes.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the uncle was sent out by his grandfather to return Mei Ji, without even letting him eat. The uncle also wanted some travel expenses, but his grandfather scolded him and left in despair. However, my grandmother caught up with him and secretly stuffed some money into him, but I don't know how much it was.
The eldest aunt seemed to have not slept all night, and she was very haggard. She only drank half a bowl of porridge for breakfast. Mrs. Chen and other sisters-in-law also put aside their conflicts and started to comfort her with good words. Zhu Pingjun seemed to be a little more sensible. He sat next to his aunt and did not make trouble at the dining table as before. Zhu Ping'an also sympathized with his aunt, and of course she didn't eat less. His grandfather kept asking him and Zhu Pingjun to eat more and eat more vegetables. Zhu Ping'an relied on his grandfather's persuasion and opened a small stove for Xiao Yu'er. He put several pieces of scrambled eggs into Xiao Yu'er's bowl and narrowed the little girl's happy eyes into crescent moons.
The uncle went to the county town to return Meiji in embarrassment, but when he came back, he was in high spirits and his face was shiny. This made Zhu Pingan a little puzzled,
"Mom, dad, I am I went back, my colleague Ren knew what happened to me, and apologized to me repeatedly, saying that he had caused me trouble, and gave his son half a pound of travel expenses. My son knew that he had sinned deeply, so he brought back the flowers that he didn't give up to you." The uncle was very sincere in his words. Looks like he has acknowledged his mistakes and repented.
Grandma was very pleased, and kept telling my grandfather that he could correct his mistakes after he acknowledged them, and that the eldest son was still a good boy, but he had been deceived.
When the grandfather saw that his eldest son had returned from his lost way, his anger subsided a little, but there was still a lot of anger, and the punishment he meted out to his uncle was not reduced at all.
For the punishment, the uncle accepted it happily, saying that he made a big mistake and should accept the punishment. In the future, he must change his mind and be a good person and learn knowledge. He must be elected as a scholar and be the ancestor of the old Zhu family.
Before leaving, the uncle pulled the eldest aunt into the room and said he was apologizing. He quietly gave the eldest aunt half a thousand dollars in the room. He said it was a gift from a friend and he said half the money to the elder. , this time I apologized to my daughter-in-law. She is so beautiful and virtuous, so she should buy some rouge and gouache.
Under the uncle's sweet words and half the money, the aunt's anger also disappeared a lot.
When the uncle went to the ancestral hall to face the wall to repent, he had extinguished most of the anger in the family, and the rest was only a matter of time. Regarding this, Zhu Ping'an had to admire his uncle's skill. He did not become stupid after reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but instead became more cunning. I don't know whether it was because the eight-part essays in the Ming Dynasty did not restrict thoughts as much as in the Qing Dynasty, or because the uncle was a special case and the nearby scholars were too I can't find any comparison, so I can only draw conclusions after I leave the village.
