Chapter 177 Sudden arrival
After being crowned, Zhu Ping'an's life has basically not changed. His family members still call him "Pooh" (long pigeon) and "Short pigeon" (pork pigeon - short). The villagers call him either Mr. Zhu or Ping'anlang. As for Zihou, no one has called him except his mentor and his wife.
Get up early to practice calligraphy, read in the morning, and read books. During the day, I practiced and studied eight-legged essay and policy theory. I copied books at night. I went to Rich Man Li's house to return and borrow books every three days.
Just reading and reviewing quietly, waiting for accurate news from Enke in the county.
About a week after the crowning ceremony, the news of Enke had not arrived yet, but he encountered something unexpected.
Around evening, Zhu Ping'an was looking at the book he was copying in his hands in the yard under the last glow of the setting sun. His mother, Ms. Chen, had just entered the kitchen to prepare dinner.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a scream like a slaughtering pig: "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, open the door quickly."
Who was reading a book When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he laughed and said, Damn, why is this guy here?
This voice sounded so familiar to me. No one else came except Xue Chi and Fatty Xue. By the way, shouldn't this guy be in Fengyang Mansion? Why did he come running here.
My mother, Mrs. Chen, leaned out of the kitchen and asked, "Shou'er, why does it sound like I'm calling you?"
"Mom, she is a friend my son met when he was taking the college exam in Yingtian." Zhu Pingan explained, then got up and walked to the door, reaching out and opening the door.
Outside the gate, it was Fatty Xue Chi, who was in an extremely embarrassed state, breathing heavily and looking behind him in fear.
"Did that gust of wind bring you here?" Zhu Pingan looked at the embarrassed fat man and couldn't help but laugh.
The fat man looked behind him and found that the native dog chasing him was gone. Then he took a breath and turned his head to look at Zhu Ping'an. His fat face was full of pride, "The wind that can blow the fat man's wind" Not yet born."
"Then why are you running so hard?" Zhu Pingan opened the door and asked the fat man to come in.
When the fat man heard Zhu Ping'an asked, he still had lingering fears. He patted his face and said fearfully, "I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child. There are so many dogs here. But the nurse who came with me said that dogs are very powerful. You If you are fierce, he will be afraid of you. What he said is very convincing, so I think it makes sense. I got off the carriage and found a dog in your village to try it out. It turns out that if I hadn’t been able to run fast, my parents would have had to give up the white-haired one to the black-haired one.”
Ni. Ma, nozuonodie!
Zhu Ping'an was speechless at the fat man's behavior.
"Where is your nursing home?" Zhu Pingan looked outside the door and found no nursing home, so he asked the fat man.
"I ran so fast just now that he lost me, but don't worry, he will find him soon." The fat man said carelessly, then entered the door and looked around the yard of Zhu Ping'an's house. Then he extended his big finger and praised, "There is still a way to live in a farmyard."
"How can it be compared to your deep house and compound?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and replied nonchalantly.
"Each one has his own merits." The fat man said, touching his fat face.
At this time, Mrs. Chen, the mother who was in the kitchen, also came out wearing an apron. She stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at the fat man and asked:
"You are She'er's friend, right?" ”
The fat man saw Chen He immediately ran over and shouted in a familiar manner with a fat face: "Goddess, you are really discerning, you recognized me right away. I am Xue Chi from Fengyang Mansion." , just call me Xiao Xue.”
At this moment, Fatty was like a bulldog trying to please its owner.
Godmother?
You are crawling too fast when you hit a snake and follow it with a stick.
"When we were taking the Yingtian exam, we were as close as brothers. Brother Zhu's mother is naturally my mother. My son Xue Chi has met his godmother." Fat Xue Chi's fat face was full of sincerity, and he made a plop Mrs. Chen knelt on the ground.
Mother Chen was a little abrupt at first, but after a pause, she asked Fatty Xue to get up with a smile, "You kid, it's so cold on the ground, get up quickly."
"Oh, why don't you say fuck me?" The fat man stood up and flattered her again.
Mother Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile, and the fatter she became, the more satisfied she became. This child is chubby and looks good.
Soon, the nursing home of Fatty’s family who came with Fatty also came, driving a carriage.
The fat man went out and moved the gifts brought on the carriage with his nurse, and moved them to Zhu Pingan's house one by one.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Ping'an stopped the fat man.
"This is a meeting gift for my godmother and godfather. Don't stop me, otherwise you will be unfilial." The fat man said, and like a diligent little bee, he moved back and forth to Wang Zhuping's house.
"Xiao Xue, my godmother will be unhappy if you are like this." Mother Chen came out of the kitchen, pretending to be angry.
"Godmother, don't be angry. My parents asked me to bring these. They are not valuable things. They are just thoughts. Don't be angry." Fatty Xue Chi explained , while moving the last few things in the car to Zhu Ping'an's house.
Looking at the fat man Xue Chi in the yard and the things brought in by his nursing home, there is almost a dazzling array of things, from silk and satin cloth to fruit pastries and gifts for everyone in the Zhu family. The total sum of Ling and Zong was close to sixty-seven taels of silver.
“You kid.” Mrs. Chen scolded.
"I have to trouble my godmother these days, but I am shameless enough to come here to eat for a few days and try my godmother's craftsmanship."
The fat man grinned stupidly with his fat face.
“Live, live with all your heart, and treat this as your own home.” Mother Chen waved her hand and it was confirmed.
After Fatty moved his things in his nursing home, he asked him to go back to the town to find a place to live, and wait until Fatty came home to find him.
When Father Zhu came back, Fatty started calling him Godfather again, which made Father Zhu stunned. It was his mother, Mrs. Chen, who told the whole story, and then Father Zhu rubbed his hands and smiled and told Fatty Xue Chi to be polite and don't worry.
Thanks to Zhu Ping's family renovating the house, there were still enough rooms. They packed up a room for the fat man to live in. Zhu's father and his eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan hurriedly made a bed. His mother, Mrs. Chen, gave the fat man a new quilt to rest on. .
In the evening, Mrs. Chen specially cooked several extra dishes, and the rice was simmered fragrantly, and she served the fat man a large bowl.
The fat man did not disappoint Mr. Chen. He opened his cheeks and ate a lot. The fat man, who was used to eating big fish and meat, found the farm-style dishes so delicious, especially Mr. Chen’s pickled cucumbers. Rice porridge is simply a delicacy in the world.
Finally, the fat man was very envious of Zhu Pingan for being able to eat such delicious food every time.
"Xie'er, you should learn more from Xiao Xue and eat more."
Mrs. Chen looked at the fat man's eating appearance and became more and more satisfied. Look, this is called eating. In the end, she used the fat man to teach Zhu Ping'an. Her youngest son may have been reading a lot recently and felt thin again. Mrs. Chen couldn't help but pick up two pieces of meat and put one piece into Fatty's bowl and the other into Zhu Ping'an's bowl. (End of this chapter)
