Chapter 912 Shi Chunmiao
Thirty miles outside Chang'an City, there is Shiwanzi Village.
Lao Li, with mottled and gray hair, was walking back home in the light of the setting sun, hunched over. Following Lao Li was his eldest son, Shi Dalang.
Shi Dalang was carrying a pole with grass in the frames at both ends. As for the tools used in working in the fields today, Shi Erlang who was following behind Shi Dalang was carrying them.
Shi Dalang's eldest son, Xiao Shitou, was beside Lao Lizheng and the others. The babies in the village were not as fair as those in Chang'an City. Xiao Shitou was so tanned that even his scalp was black.
"Ah Weng, Ah Weng, I want a straw cage, hurry up."
The little stone who pulled a handful of grass on the roadside just put the grass into Lao Lizheng's hand, his eyes watery He looked at Lao Lizheng with pleading eyes.
Lao Lizheng laughed "haha" twice, but he agreed with Xiao Shitou's words lovingly.
Before we reached the entrance of the village, Lao Li was holding a small straw cage in his hand. Xiao Shitou happily took it, as if the back of his butt was on fire, and ran towards the village in a hurry. Shouted: "Thank you Aweng, I'll go find Daniel to play."
Before Lao Li could speak, Shi Dalang shouted anxiously: "Come home earlier, before dark." Come back.”
In response to Shi Dalang, Xiao Shitou waved his hand twice casually.
The father and son returned home. Lao Li was looking up at the sky. He washed his hands and face with the water heated by the sun during the day, and changed into a pair of clean mud-free shoes. He said to his family: "While it's still dark, I'll go to Wulang's house to have a look and give you a few words of advice. His little girl has applied for the examination of the medical woman in the city."
The old man The Shi Wulang mentioned by Li Zheng is the father of Shi Chunmiao. Eighty percent of the people in Shiwanzi Village have the surname Shi. Most of them have the same ancestor in their early years. In this way, they are all related, but the relationship is just close and distant. .
Lao Lizheng's father and Shi Wulang's Wengzu were brothers. In this way, Shi Chunmiao called Lao Lizheng's son Aweng.
Shi Chunmiao's house is located in the innermost part of Shiwanzi Village, with mountains at its back, which is also a good place.
But by coincidence, just as Lao Li was walking to the door of Shi Chunmiao's house, he met Shi Chunmiao, who was carrying two fish no bigger than an adult's palm, rolled up his trousers, and even his head and face were a little wet. .
“Ah Weng!
Why are you here?
Come home quickly.”
Shi Chunmiao went home to greet Lao Li Zheng, while shouting to the family: "Grandma, grandma, Aye, Li Zheng Aweng is here, come out to greet people."
As soon as Lao Li entered the door, he saw the lame Shi Wulang standing up in a hurry. He was still holding a grass branch in his hand. Looking at the grass frame on the ground, he knew that Shi Wulang was busy weaving the grass frame before.
Before Lao Li could speak, Shi Chunmiao put the two fishes in her hand into Shi's mother's hands and said directly: "Mom, hurry up and cook these fish, Li Zheng "Aweng doesn't come here often, so I have to leave him to have a bowl of fish soup."
After hearing this, Shi Mu nodded directly and walked to the kitchen with the fish in hand.
On the other hand, Lao Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Stop working so hard. I just want to say something. They are waiting for me to go back for dinner at home."
Having said this, Lao Li Zheng Then he went to see Shi Chunmiao: "You are a kid who has a plan in mind, Aweng is just here to give you a warning.
Tomorrow is the day of the exam in Chang'an City. In our place, you and Liu Liuniang from Sanwanzi are the only ones to get the wooden plaque.
Tomorrow at five o'clock, right at the entrance of the village, I will personally drive the donkey cart to take you two to Chang'an City for reference. "
Having said this, Lao Lizheng went to see Shi Wulang and Granny Shi again: "Since the child can be used as a reference, he is a promising one. If he is chosen, he will not only eat and drink without spending any money in the future. Come on, you can make money in the future.
Don't take it seriously," said this to Shi Wulang and the others. Lao Lizheng turned back and said to Shi Chunmiao: "You must take the household registration sticker and the wooden sign. , if you get admitted to the city, it will not only be good for your family, but also for Shi Jiahao, and it will also make us Shiwanzi look good.
Good boy, take the exam carefully tomorrow. ”
Lao Li was watching Shi Chunmiao solemnly nodding in response to his words. He felt relieved. After saying a few more words, he turned around and went back to his home.
However, when it was time to light the lanterns, Shi Chunmiao went to Lao Lizheng's house and presented him with a bowl of fish soup filled with oil and salt.
The next day, before the fifth watch, Shi Chunmiao got up early. Mother Shi put a purse into Shi Chunmiao's arms: "The money you got from selling medicine and catching fish and collecting firewood in the past will be It's all in there.
Auntie also gave you some, which you earned from selling frames in the past. Don't be reluctant to spend it. Money is precious in Chang'an City, so spend it as you should. The flower is.”
Shi Chunmiao touched the bulging and hard purse in her arms and said, "Hey, I know everything. Don't worry about me."
While standing at the head of the village waiting for the donkey cart of Lao Li Zheng's family , Shi Wulang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said to Shi Chunmiao: "Chunmiao, Aye has no ability. He broke his leg. I have to let you, a little girl, earn your own future.
This city in Chang'an Aye doesn’t understand the exam, but just remember, if you fail, it won’t be a big deal. Aye is here, and you will have to eat.”
Shi Wulang just finished these two sentences. , I heard Lao Li shouting at the donkey.
When Lao Lizheng came, Shi Chunmiao closed his open mouth. Even if he called Li Zheng Aweng, after all, he came after several generations, and his own Wengzu was no longer there. , it is not easy for Lao Li to take care of her on a daily basis because of such a blood relationship.
In other words, they are no longer a family after all.
Therefore, Shi Chunmiao just nodded to Shi Wulang and said nothing more.
Lao Lizheng asked Shi Chunmiao again if she had got the household registration sticker and the wooden voucher?
Seeing Shi Chunmiao take it out from the bag and showing it to him, he felt relieved. Lao Li was watching Shi Chunmiao get on the donkey cart, so he turned back to Shi Wulang and his wife and said, "Don't worry. , Bring the child back as you brought him out.”
After leaving the road in Shiwanzi Village, Lao Lizheng did not go to the official road, but turned into it again. Go up the path.
"Chunmiao, we have to go to Sanwanzi to pick up Liu Liuniang. After we pick her up, we can go to Guandao and go to Chang'an."
As expected, when we arrived at the head of Sanwanzi Village, we saw something Two people, tall and short, stood waiting on the roadside.
Shi Chunmiao saw that Liu Liuniang looked two years younger than her, and was about half a head shorter than her in stature.
Lao Lizheng introduced the two of them to each other, and then Shi Chunmiao knew that the person following Liu Liuniang was his eldest brother.
Perhaps seeing the shock in Shi Chunmiao's eyes, Liu Liuniang, after getting on the donkey cart, approached Shi Chunmiao and explained to her in a low voice: "I am the old woman in the family. I have four brothers and two A sister.”
Shi Chunmiao nodded directly after hearing Liu Liuniang's words. She understood that just like her family and Lao Li's family, the age difference between the eldest son and the youngest son was a direct generation difference.
After picking up the people, Lao Lizheng whipped his whip, pulled the reins, and sent the donkey cart onto the official road towards Chang'an City.
