Chapter 215 My pig has been sensible since he was a child
Winter is the most peaceful time in the village. Every household has no farm work, and it is rare to rest at home comfortably. Especially when it snows, every household is too lazy to go out and do some crafts by the quilt or stove, or sleep in peace of mind.
But today, Xiahe Village is an exception. Although snowflakes are flying outside and the north wind is howling, the cold air does not freeze people's enthusiasm. The entire Xiahe Village is bustling with lively cheers.
What caused the abnormality in Xiahe Village was one thing: the thirteen-year-old son of Zhu Shouyi’s family passed the exam.
After the firecrackers were set off at the village head to announce the good news early in the morning, the excitement in the whole village never calmed down. Even after the officer who announced the good news received the red envelope and left Xiahe Village on his fast horse, Xiahe Village was still a bustling sea.
Zhu Ping'an's house was full of people, and the yard was also crowded.
In addition to the folks from the countryside, the grandparents, third uncles and aunts of the Zhu family, as well as the slim little Yu'er, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, as well as the eldest aunt and Zhu Pingjun are all at Zhu Ping'an's house, but the uncle Zhu Shouren is absent. , Well, uncle Zhu Shouren caught a cold after reading late at night last night, and is "recuperating" under the quilt in his old house. But in the eyes of the villagers, uncle Zhu Shouren was too shameless to come over and pretended to be sick.
Grandfather sat in the house and smoked, listening to the congratulations of the villagers. He was happy but couldn't help but sigh a few times. As for the fourth uncle and the four aunts, they walked happily among the villagers, but grandma The eldest aunt and uncle were not very happy, with a sour taste. If possible, they would prefer the eldest uncle to be the winner.
Although the villagers congratulated Zhu Pingan’s family, they also congratulated the people in the Zhu family’s old home. However, there were still many villagers in the yard secretly watching the Zhu family's separation ten years ago, secretly laughing at the fact that my grandfather must have regretted what happened back then.
If we don’t separate our families. Grandfather and the others are a hundred times more glorious than they are now. The eldest son whom he was originally optimistic about didn't even get admitted to be a scholar. The second son who was forced to take the blame not only became rich, but his grandson not only became a scholar but also a middle-level scholar within a year.
In addition to the improvement of status, etc., the most direct benefit of winning the lottery is to be exempted from taxes and corvee. Unfortunately, in order to take care of the boss's reputation, the Zhu family's old house just called the village chief and others to divide the family and register it with the county. If you register, you will not be able to enjoy this benefit! Everyone in the Zhu family home probably feels regretful and has been unable to eat in the past few days.
The happiest people were Zhu Ping'an's parents and brothers, especially his mother Chen, who was so happy that she didn't know how to close her mouth.
"His second aunt, you are the master of judging people. You are really enviable. Tell us how you train people to be judged?"
The villagers asked Zhu Pingan’s mother, Mrs. Chen, with envy, curiosity and compliments.
Hearing this, the smile on mother Chen’s face became even brighter, and she waved her hands humbly, but her voice had nothing to do with humility:
"I don't know how to raise him, I just raise him like everyone else. But don't tell me, my piggy has been sensible since he was a child. When he was only two years old, he was sensible enough to feel sorry for his mother."
Hear the words. The people in the village were curious and complimentary, asking how the only master in Hecun Village became sensible when he was two years old.
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her chin almost went up to the sky. She looked proud of her son, "You don't know. Our family is safe. He has been sensible since he was a child. He is only two years old. When I was still an infant, life was not going well at that time. I once had a quarrel with your second brother at home. Don't look at your second brother's honesty. He was so angry that he made me cry. Guess what? "
"What's the matter? Hahaha, the second sister-in-law beat the second brother." Some villagers shouted, making everyone laugh.
When everyone's laughter ended, Ms. Chen shook her head and continued with a proud and gratified expression, "He is rough-skinned and thick-bodied. I had to hit him without hurting my hand. At that time , our piggy is only two years old. When she sees me crying, she will pull out the diaper from her swaddling clothes and wipe my tears."
He was only two years old, so he didn't know how to feel sorry for others. When he was a child, Shi'er was very stubborn. It wasn't until he recovered from his illness at the age of five that he became sensible. He's two years old and hasn't even been weaned yet, so what else do he know?
"He's in a pee hole." Father Zhu couldn't bear to listen anymore and couldn't help but interject.
Then the whole courtyard laughed kindly, and the atmosphere was full of happiness.
Ms. Chen was in high spirits. After Father Zhu poured cold water on her, she naturally quit. She glared hard at Zhu Shouyi, who looked innocent, and glared at Zhu Shouyi so hard that he lowered his head like a quail. .
Then, like a victorious rooster, Mrs. Chen continued to share with the villagers the story of Zhu Pingan’s cleverness, sense, diligence, and dedication to learning when he was a child. The villagers also listened with gusto and felt uncomfortable. After admiringly echoing Chen's words, Chen became more energetic and praised Zhu Pingan to the rarest people in the world. If Zhu Pingan were here, he would definitely blush after hearing this.
Chen was not the only one to praise Zhu Pingan. On the other side, Zhu Pingjun ignored his mother's bad expression and told the villagers about Zhu Pingan's childhood. Of course, he was involved in everything, some positive and some negative. , but Zhu Pingjun didn't care. He was frothing at the mouth when he said it. This person is also crazy. He hasn't enjoyed the feeling of being supported by everyone for a long time.
"Let me tell you, yes, brother Xie had no chance in the Tongsheng Examination. Just because one of our senior brothers suddenly had something happen to his family, he had to stay at home. Does Ding You understand? It is to receive filial piety. There is only one spot available, Master. He originally wanted me to go, but I said, no, let him go, and he just went. Otherwise, he would not be here today.”
“Don’t believe it. This is true. Why give it to Brother He? Because Brother He is smarter than me. Let me tell you something about my childhood. When I was a kid, Brother He and I were close and we basically played together.
One time Brother He wanted to go to the mountains to pick fruits, and I thought again. Playing with Brother He, but Brother He wants to play with Big Brother Brother Chuan went to pick fruits, so Brother He told me to play a hide-and-seek game, saying that if you can’t find it, you have to keep looking, and you must not come out by yourself.”
Speaking of this, Zhu Pingjunyi With a sad face, he looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
"That day, I lay down and hid in the firewood pile for a long time, until my mother cooked dinner and lit the fire." Go to the ground and beat him up, this shameless thing.
On this day, the entire Xiahe Village has been lively all day long, and in the evening, the villagers gradually dispersed. The people from the Zhu family's old house stayed at Zhu Ping'an's house for dinner, and did not follow Xueming back to their old house until dark. (End of this chapter)
