Chapter 119 Old House
After breakfast, Zhu Pingan went to the old house. In addition to the fine tobacco bought in the town, Zhu's father asked Zhu Pingan to carry two pheasants, a fat rabbit, The two fish were hunted by Zhu's father and his eldest brother on the mountain. Although his mother Chen didn't say anything, her face looked very unhappy.
"I have been to my old house and my mentor's house, so I went home and studied hard. When the time comes, my son will earn a royal wife for his mother."
Zhu Ping'an saw that his mother, Mrs. Chen, was a little unhappy. I was so happy, knowing that she had always been dissatisfied with the old house, and deliberately made her mother Chen happy before going out.
"I just know how to fool my mother with what I have and don't have. Okay, go quickly and come back early. Mother will prepare delicious food for you." Mother Chen's face improved a lot, and she waved her hand to urge Zhu Ping'an. Go quickly and come back quickly.
After saying goodbye to his mother, Zhu Ping'an walked to his old house carrying his things. Along the way, I met many villagers, and they all called me uncle and aunt. Just like yesterday, the villagers also asked me this and that, all about the exam, and they all felt that Zhu Pingan had gained face in the village.
Where are we now? It’s just the first step in the imperial examination. Zhu Ping’an was so praised by his neighbors that he blushed.
It only takes a few minutes to get to the old house from home. Because I had to talk to the neighbors, I had to walk for more than ten minutes to get to the old house.
I opened the door of the old house and called my grandparents.
The first thing that caught the eye was the figure of the fourth aunt rushing towards me and the whistling voice, "Ah, the pig is back, mother, mother, come quickly, the pig is back, ah , why are you still taking things, chickens, rabbits and fish?”
As the fourth aunt spoke, she unceremoniously took the pheasants and rabbits from Zhu Pingan's hands. They had not seen any meat for several days.
Long time no see, airport security inspector.
"Hello, fourth aunt." Zhu Pingan greeted his fourth aunt with a naive smile.
"Okay, Pigeon is better, but it will give our parents, Lao Zhu, some face. There were gongs and drums that day. You don't know how lively it was." The fourth aunt held a chicken, a fish, and a rabbit. , and there are smiles on his face.
Soon at the voice of the fourth aunt, the grandmother also came out of the room, her white hair combed neatly.
"Hurry is back. Your grandfather has missed you for a long time. Come in quickly and let the fourth family bring you a bowl of water for Hurry." Grandma didn't seem to be in very good spirits. She saw the pheasant brought by Zhu Ping'an. The rabbit and the fish seemed to look a little better.
Grandma came out with my grandfather. Today he wore the 80% new blue cloth that he was reluctant to wear, and he kept it neatly.
“Here comes the son, good, good, good, good grandson.” Grandfather praised Zhu Ping’an when he saw him. Some time ago, people came from the town to announce the good news, and my grandfather happened to be present at that time. When those people knew that he was After being Zhu Ping'an's grandfather, he boasted that his grandfather had raised a good grandson and would be willing to raise him in the future. He will definitely have a great future. He is the youngest boy in the town and the number one in the entire Anqing Mansion. My grandfather was a little overwhelmed by the praise that day. The only regret was that he was wearing coarse clothes and not decent enough. So in the following days, my grandfather I have been wearing this set of 80% new coarse cloth.
Zhu Pingan handed over the high-quality tobacco bought from the town to his grandfather at the right time, which made his grandfather even more happy and said a few good words.
After entering the room, Grandpa and the others asked some questions about the exam, and Zhu Pingan also explained them in detail one by one.
"Ever since I was a child, I have seen that Pig's head is different. I knew that one day, Pig's head would fall to the ground." The fourth aunt touched Zhu Ping'an's head and finally said with emotion.
Heads on the ground?
It’s time to get ahead!
Don’t use idioms if you don’t know how to use them, they sound creepy. By the way, when I was a child, you didn’t think I was successful, did you? I washed my hands, and you still said I was possessed.
“It’s about getting ahead.” Grandfather knocked the cigarette pot heavily on the table and corrected him.
"Oh, just to get ahead, ahem..." The fourth aunt covered her mouth and quickly changed her words.
After a while, my grandmother couldn't help it anymore, so she asked Zhu Pingan, "Xie'er, how is your uncle now? Is he cured?"
Zhu Pingan was asked I was stunned for a moment, what kind of disease? When did my uncle get sick? Not to mention how comfortable and good he was living outside, what kind of disease did he have?
"Don't hide it from me. Your uncle wrote home, saying that you took care of him when he was sick, and asked someone at home to send him money twice. He also said that he had given instructions I don't want you to tell us, just because we're worried. , He really didn’t have money for the medicine, so he wrote home. The money at home is not enough. Your aunt went to the in-laws’ house to borrow money to send it to him yesterday, and she hasn’t come back yet.”
Grandma had a worried look on her face, looking worried.
Uh
So this is the reason why grandma is so worried!
The uncle is really too much! Looking at the worried grandmother, thinking about the aunt who went to borrow money from her parents' house, and then thinking about the carefree and suave uncle in Anqing Mansion's Zuijun Tower, Zhu Ping'an felt sorry for this sanctimonious man like himself. The best uncle is really speechless. If you want money, you need money. You are still sick and the whole family is worried. It really feels like you hate iron but cannot make steel.
But now that I say it, I am afraid that my grandmother and others will not be able to accept it. Moreover, my uncle has written a letter in advance to make arrangements. My uncle is good at doing honorable things. If I say it myself, my grandmother and aunt will not believe it.
After another conversation, Zhu Pingan was leaving.
Grandfather stopped him from leaving, saying that he wanted his grandmother and the others to tidy up the chickens, rabbits and fish that Zhu Pingan had brought, and asked Zhu Pingan to stay for dinner before going back. It was not until Zhu Pingan said that he wanted to go to his mentor Sun Laofuzi that his grandfather let him go. Zhu Ping'an left.
"Xie'er, study hard. Your uncle is sure of success this time. You must also work hard to make your family proud." Grandfather told Zhu Ping'an at the door.
Uncle is indeed stable, he cannot survive!
Zhu Ping'an complained silently in his heart, but seeing his grandfather's expectant face, he still couldn't bear to tell what his uncle had done.
The uncle can't count on Guangzong Yaozu, so he can only rely on himself.
Zhu Ping'an just finished complaining in his heart, and once again saw the luck on the heads of his grandfather and others, but this time in addition to seeing the white luck on their heads, he also vaguely saw something else in the luck. It's just too blurry to see clearly.
Why have there been some changes? It’s strange.
However, luck has always been a useless thing. Luck is mysterious and elusive, and it can only be seen, and it does not really help him. Zhu Pingan doesn't take it too seriously.
Asking for others is like swallowing a three-foot sword, relying on others is like reaching the ninth heaven. Only your own efforts are the most reliable in everything.
Blinking slightly to calm down, Zhu Pingan said goodbye to his grandparents and turned to leave. (End of chapter)
