Chapter 129 Uncle Comes to Borrow Money
It has been a week since I arrived in Yingtian, and it is less than ten days before the college exam. Zhu Pingan’s review has mostly focused on the Four Books and Eight Eight Parts. During this period, I was disturbed several times by the fat man. From time to time, the fat man came downstairs with his head bruised after being hit in the attic. But every time, he cheerfully said that it was a sign of the high school crime leader, and the fat man also had a good eye, so he came to see me. Zhu Ping'an is mostly a meal, so it won't disturb Zhu Ping'an's review too much.
On this day when Zhu Pingan was studying by the window, someone knocked on the door.
Zhu Pingan thought it was Fatty Xue Chi, so he said casually, the door is unlocked, just push it open and come in.
Then
Something didn't feel right
Zhu Pingan looked up and saw a person following the store clerk, tilting his head and looking at him with confusion.
Uncle! Why is the uncle here? I originally thought that Yingtian was old enough and might have to meet the uncle during the college exam. I didn't expect to see the uncle again so soon. I have always had a bad impression of my uncle, especially after I returned home and saw my grandparents, aunts, and others working so hard to raise money for my uncle, I felt even more disgusted with him.
Uncle Zhu Shouren saw Zhu Pingan raise his head and confirmed that the young man living in the first-class room was his nephew Zhu Pingan.
"She'er, it's really you. My uncle thought he admitted his mistake. We haven't seen each other for several months, but He'er has gained some weight. My uncle feels a lot more relieved."
After the uncle recognized Zhu Pingan, he said goodbye to the shop assistant, walked into the house alone, walked to Zhu Pingan, and chatted familiarly about home affairs.
"When did uncle come to Yingtian?" Zhu Ping'an stopped the pen in his hand and asked.
My uncle always went to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and it was not a good thing, so he became more vigilant when he saw his uncle Zhu Ping'an.
"Uncle, I have been in Yingtian for a while. I was busy writing books a few days ago, so I didn't come to see Piggy." The uncle said seriously and looked around Zhu Pingan's house with his hands behind his back. Again.
"Xie'er, I'm afraid this house is not cheap, right?" the uncle asked in a sudden change of voice.
"Oh, I don't know about this house. Originally, I lived in the attic upstairs, and the price was much cheaper. The owner of this house thought that the height of my attic was a good sign, so he insisted on switching with me." Zhu Ping'an didn't know his uncle's intention, so he spoke with some leeway.
Uncle Zhu Shouren heard this but didn't believe it at all. How could such a good thing happen? It was simply a fantasy. However, he did not tell the truth. He just stayed with Zhu Ping'an for a long time in the mist.
Zhu Pingan held the writing brush and watched his uncle Zhu Shouren ramble for a long time. As he continued like this, he no longer wanted to study the book, so he had to ask directly: "How are you doing, uncle? Come and see me." Is there something wrong with Zhi'er? "
Uncle Zhu Shouren seemed to be waiting for Zhu Pingan to say this.
"Uncle has a fortune for you. Uncle has a friend who you have met. His mentor happens to be a teacher at the county school and has connections. My friend got inside information. He "My teacher can know the test questions one day in advance..." The uncle paused at this point, carefully looked out the window and door to make sure there was no one, and then continued mysteriously, "I can know the test questions one day in advance, and Ah..."
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, uncle, I have been saying this for so many years, and I have never passed the college exam after taking so many exams."
"Thank you for your kindness. For the sake of your uncle, it would be better for fewer people to know about this good thing, so that your uncle won't have to tell him." Zhu Ping'an spoke lightly and interrupted his words.
Huh?
This shouldn't be the reaction. Uncle Zhu Shouren still had a lot to say. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan was not moved at all.
"Ahem, Shi'er's test questions this time are very reliable." Uncle Zhu Shouren said with a confident twist.
"Well, really?" Zhu Pingan said casually.
Uncle Zhu Shouren was a little happy about the drama, but was broken by Zhu Pingan's words in the next second.
"Well, is that so? Then the pig will congratulate the uncle in advance." Zhu Pingan said lightly, not taking the so-called insider information seriously at all.
Uncle Zhu Shouren never expected Zhu Ping'an's reaction, which made him choke on the next words. However, his uncle Zhu Shouren was not an ordinary person. Seeing that Zhu Pingan would not take up the challenge, he retreated and settled for the next best thing.
"Hey, have you got enough money recently? My uncle has spent a lot of money on studying recently, and his money is a little tight. My friend's mentor will come to Yingtian tomorrow, and I want to invite him to a restaurant for a casual meal. , spend some time and talk about the inside story. , this college examination, you and me, uncle and nephew, are not doing it for the sake of our Zhu family, and for ours, so you move to a place where you can invite others to have a drink with your uncle, and then go home. Uncle will pay you back..."
Then the uncle described the proud scene after passing the scholar examination, as if everything was under his control.
Twelve or eighty taels? The uncle said it very lightly, as if it was a penny or two, and he didn't even take it seriously. Little did they know that the family had to work hard for these 128 taels for more than half a year. Little did they know how many people got up early and stayed up late and stayed up late behind these 128 taels. Sweat... It seems that when I was at home, my grandfather and others just asked someone to send money to my uncle!
"Oh, Xie'er was distracted just now. Could you please uncle repeat the previous sentence?" Zhu Pingan had no expression on his face, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
"For our Zhu family, and for us, so..." Uncle Zhu Shouren thought Zhu Ping'an was tempted, so he opened his mouth and prepared to repeat the previous sentence.
“That’s not the sentence, go ahead.” Zhu Pingan shook his head.
"Uncle's friend's mentor will come to Yingtian tomorrow. Uncle wants to invite him to a restaurant for a casual meal..." Uncle Zhu Shouren repeated the previous sentence.
Zhu Pingan still shook his head.
"Xie'er, have you got a lot of money recently? My uncle has spent some money on studying books recently..." If not, that's the first sentence, and the uncle Zhu Shouren repeated the first sentence.
Just when he said this, he was interrupted by Zhu Ping'an's silly voice.
"Oh, I don't have much money, uncle." Zhu Pingan looked at his uncle with a simple and honest face and said seriously.
Uh
Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at Zhu Ping'an and was stunned for a few seconds without reacting. But the uncle was not an ordinary person after all. He paused for a few seconds and then said again.
"Oh, Zhe'er doesn't have much money, so that's okay. Why don't we send a letter to my family so that they can raise some money... After all, it's all for the Zhu family. I think my second brother can do it too. Understand..."
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he immediately rushed to the sky and thundered with five thunders. The uncle was really knowledgeable and talented, you can imagine all this!
"Since I am sending letters to my home, I can also send letters to my old house. The people in the old house have more money and are better off." Zhu Ping'an looked up at the uncle and said, depending on what the uncle said, he will definitely use this reason to send the letter to the old house. The house needs money.
Uncle Zhu Shouren is also a bachelor, "Your grandfather has already sent me money, but I have spent a lot of money on studying books recently. You also know that your grandfather has a bad temper, and I am afraid that sending letters to the old house again will be... so I am bothering you." I sent the letter home."
"The uncle is afraid of his grandfather, and the pig is also afraid of his mother," Zhu Ping'an said lightly.
The uncle looked relaxed, patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder and said: "What are you afraid of? You are so young, you can withstand a beating better than me! Besides, when we win the scholarship, your mother will be happy It’s too late.”
Uncle, where is your face? I can’t find it! ! !
"Send the letter home. It took a long time on the road and I can't catch up with tomorrow. I must have missed my uncle's opportunity. I'd better find another way." Zhu Ping'an said lightly, suggesting with good intentions for his uncle's sake. .
The uncle returned disappointed. (End of this chapter)
