Chapter 36: A Chinese Wandering Spirit (3)

Over time, after the exam, Ning Caichen's behavior of jumping into the well became an annual repertoire in Tonghua Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info even, if that year, Ning Caichen didn't think of jumping into the well after the exam, everyone would feel that there was something missing in the day.

Therefore, after the township examination this year, as soon as Ning Caichen arrived home, the people of Tonghua Village surrounded him.

"Aunt Li, do you think Scholar Ning will jump this time?" asked a short and fat woman holding the soles of her shoes and threading needles.

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, don't say it, I really know!" The black aunt of the Li family bent her eyes when she heard this, and she shaved a needle on her scalp proudly.

"Then tell me quickly! Don't worry!" said the short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family.

"I've watched all these years without falling. I also found some ways. Every once in a year, this Ning scholar will jump again. Last time, he didn't jump, this time, I'm afraid I'm going to jump!" The black aunt of the Li family said with her eyebrows flying.

"Really, it's fake, jumping into a well and going around so many twists and turns, if it were me, I'd just look for a dark night, and my head would be stuck in the well, and it wouldn't be over!"

"You are the jumping method of our ordinary people, and the Ning family is the dancing method of the scholars! It's different!" The black aunt of the Li family stared at the Ning family intently, but the work under her hands did not stop, and the line was swishing.

"Isn't it different? Aren't they all throwing themselves into a well to die?" the short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family couldn't help but wonder.

"Of course it's different. If we ordinary people want to die, we just need to die. The scholar needs to be persuaded to die. The black aunt of the Li family said.

"What? People persuade people to stop them from dying! Isn't that persuading people to die?" exclaimed the short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family.

"So it's different. Scholars, you have to talk about the rules. That's what the rules in the book are. I heard from my third uncle's eldest uncle's second uncle and sister-in-law that their mother's family has an aunt who is very knowledgeable, and people invite him to be a big official...... It's the same thing!"

The black aunt of the Li family said.

"I'm confused by you...... the short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family was confused, and was about to continue asking, but she heard the sharp-eyed aunt of the Li family shouting while stomping her feet: "It's coming, it's coming!

The short and fat sister-in-law of the Wang family had no choice but to hold back the doubts in her heart, straighten her neck and look forward.

"You...... You son of a, you really want to jump into the river!" Father Ning saw that Ning Caichen was half-wet and not dry, and rushed up angrily to prepare an old fist full of love for his son!

As a result, before the people rushed forward, they were stopped by the Ning Wang clan.

"You, what are you doing!" Father Ning was about to braid, and his eyes were as big as a copper bell at his mother-in-law.

"My son is just in a better mood, don't stimulate him! If he jumps into the river again and dies, then what hope do we have for the old couple......

Unexpectedly, this time, Ning Wang's family did not cry and shout, but whispered in Ning Dad's ear, with a sad look between his eyebrows.

Father Ning's anger dissipated a little in an instant, although 'a loving mother has many defeated children', and his son was indulged a little excessively, but the old wife's words were not unreasonable.

Glancing at his son, whose head was half-wet and dry, Father Ning sighed and didn't say anything in the end. This time I really went to jump into the river, but fortunately I came back alive, otherwise...... Alas, what a sin! How can you be such a debt collector in this life!

"Okay, okay, all the villagers are scattered!" Ning Wang's face to the villagers, showing a pungent side.

"Why don't you jump into the well today? Don't you mean that you're off the list again?" someone shouted.

"Which rotten mouth is talking nonsense? The list hasn't come out yet, why did it fall?" Ning Wang retorted.

"My grandson said that Ning Shusheng cried all the way and the paper was not finished! The volume was not finished, can he still be on the list?" said one of them, citing evidence.

Ning Wang's family was a little panicked when he heard this, this ...... The son didn't say it! No wonder, he came back wet! The excitement was too great, and he really threw himself into the river and died.

If Ning Wang's family was still a little hesitant before, guessing that her son accidentally fell into the river and wet his shoes and socks and cotton clothes, then at this moment, this sentence strengthened her determination to care for her son.

I know the meat I dropped, and my son's rat guts are just babbling, if you really take that step, how much stimulation will it be!

Thinking of this, Ning Wangshi scolded: "Zhang Laosan, before the list is released, you start to fart cats!

The villagers laughed, Zhang Laosan was a person with grandchildren after all, and he couldn't hold back when he was choked on an old face.

"Sister-in-law of the Ning family, when my grandson is on the list, I will give all the red eggs to your family, and let the Caichen touch my grandson's temperament. Zhang Laosan said strongly.

"Phew, who's on the list hasn't been decided yet!, why are you crazy at this moment?" Ning Wang scolded.

"Let's see! It must be my dog on the list! Mr. said that he was a literary and opera star! Praise him for being a scholar!" Zhang Laosan countered contemptuously.

"Hmph!" Ning Wang slammed the door of the thatched house, and the whole house shook three times at once.

"A bunch of unconscionable dogs!" Ning Wang spat at the door as he closed the door.

Ning Caichen stood in the room awkwardly, with his hands behind his back and not rubbing it. He heard all those words of the villagers, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. I think that he is a scholar in the hall of Ning Caichen, and he has gotten mixed up to this point today - he wants to be touched by the literary atmosphere of his peers and grandchildren!

It's infuriating!

"Mother-" Ning Caichen's face turned red, and he couldn't help shouting.

"What's the matter, my son, are you hungry, my mother will give you pancakes." Just a little bit. Ning Wang's son who had just jumped into the river immediately put on an amiable smile and said with concern.

"Mother, father, my son has disgraced you!" Ning Caichen couldn't help but break down and cry.

Thinking that he Ning Caichen was literate at the age of five, composed poetry at the age of seven, and could memorize the three-character scripture backwards at the age of twelve, how could he take the test all these years, and even the last child could not pass the test? He was unwilling, year after year, he took the test again and again, and he couldn't take the test again, but he didn't expect that time passed in a flash, and it was more than ten years!

In the past 10 years or so, he has never done anything for his family! He has never only known about taking exams, taking exams, reading and studying! His family members have kept those ugly words out of the door and endured them by himself, but they have shown themselves a smile that nothing has happened.

hated him Ning Caichen, in order to avoid the gossip of the villagers, in order to escape his useless conclusions, he threatened his family with death again and again, creating such a ridiculous and pathetic farce!
