strong> Mr. Chapter 51

Looking at the mutton handled by his wife, Yuan Gensheng couldn't help but say, "You shouldn't accept so much." ”

Zhou Xiangzhi looked at the three leg of mutton, she also knew that she shouldn't charge so much, but with these mutton, they don't have to spend money to buy meat for the Chinese New Year this year, saving a sum of money. In the coming year, she wants to say goodbye to her son and daughter, and in her opinion, this money can save a penny.

Zhou Xiangzhi comforted her husband: "Don't think about it, this is Anping's intention." He's better off now, thinking about you, uncle, you should be happy. ”

Yuan Gensheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I couldn't help him before, I always felt sorry for Gen Mao and the two of them, I was relieved to see Anping now." ”

Zhou Xiangzhi can't say anything, their family is having a difficult life, and the heart of a mother is naturally biased towards her children.

"You said Anping and Xiaohan...... There has to be an argument that it isn't. But Anping is still in the filial piety period, and it is not easy to set a date. It's going to take nearly two years, so it's hard not to have an explanation. "For Yuan Anping's marriage, Yuan Gensheng is still very concerned. In the past, it was very difficult for Yuan Anping to say that he was married, and his family background was not good without a father or mother, and everyone had to find fault with him if he wanted to ask for a double child. Now that life is better, but there is no father, no mother and no brother to help him, good people will be taboo in their hearts. Now that he has made up his mind with Huo Xiaohan, he has a matter of heart. I don't talk about my children anymore like I used to, and I can't help but worry when I think of my nephew.

Zhou Xiangzhi also felt that it was a problem, there had to be a matchmaker for this family matter, but Yuan Anping was not suitable for kissing in the filial piety period. To say that ordinary people don't pay attention to this, but Yuan Anping is a scholar, and he has to test his fame, so these scruples have to be considered.

"Why don't you make a small decision?" Xiaoding is actually a mutual affection for each other to send a love token to each other, which is a preliminary determination of the relationship between each other, and when the time is right, the matchmaker is invited to come to the door to propose a date. However, the act of sending a love token is different from sending things to each other in private, with the consent of both parents and the witness of an identity witness.

Xiao Ding's original meaning was very good, but now it is more like the behavior of the marrying party asking for things in disguise, Yuan Gensheng thought about it and felt that it was feasible: "This Xiao Ding is suitable for the two of them." It is also appropriate to wait for the Anping filial piety period to pass before inviting a matchmaker. ”

"You have to think it's appropriate to have time to mention it to An Ping, the relationship is decided, and if the two of them have any contact, it's not good for others to say anything. ”

"Okay, but this matter can't be done too early, wait for Huo Xiaohan to stop the turmoil of breaking off his family, so as not to attract tongue. ”

"You're right. ”

When the moon rises, the whole village is quiet, and even the chickens and dogs that are constantly moving during the day lie down to sleep.

Huo Xiaohan was lying on the bed, surrounded by warm bedding, looking at the faint light of the moonlit night shining through the gap in the window, his heart was unprecedentedly steady and calm. And the grandfather and grandson separated by a wall, Zhongsun Rui has fallen asleep peacefully, Zhongsun Lianjue looked at his grandson who was sleeping soundly, and now he is living in this field, he has not asked for much, he only hopes that his grandson will grow up safely.

It was a quiet and reassuring night.

………………

Life returns to its former peace.

Living in the village, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is always inevitable. Especially when a rooster crows, after one rooster begins to crow, other roosters also begin to crow, one after another, as if they do not wake people up.

Yuan Anping, who was woken up, covered his head with a quilt and continued to sleep, but he couldn't sleep anymore when he was woken up, so when he felt the room light up, he began to get up. Because he has been going to Huo Xiaohan's place to eat these days, it is not good to sleep lazily as before.

When he got up and washed, Yuan Anping looked at the toothpaste in his hand and squeezed the size of a bean, although he also bought more than ten toothpastes to put in the space, but if there was no accident, he could still live for decades, so as not to be able to brush his teeth in the future, the toothpaste had to save some use.

After washing, I felt that the weather was good today, so I took most of the books that were required for the exam and went to Huo Xiaohan.

Walking on the road, Yuan Anping guessed what Huo Xiaohan was doing for breakfast, because he had eaten well in the past few days, he couldn't help but be a little faster in anticipation. The reason why one meal has continued to be eaten three times a day is that Huo Xiaohan's skills are good, and the second is that his cooking skills are so poor that he feels that he spoils the food.

Huo Xiaohan is different from Yuan Anping, he woke up when the rooster crowed, he used to get up to work at this point when he was at home, but now although he lives by himself, he wakes up when the rooster crows, and he can't sleep lazily, so he starts to get up and clean up and make breakfast. Therefore, when Yuan Anping entered the courtyard gate, he smelled the fragrance of noodles.

Yuan Anping smelled the fragrance and entered the kitchen, and saw that Huo Xiaohan was burning the fire, so he stepped forward and asked, "What are you making for breakfast?"

Huo Xiaohan moved away and handed him some firewood: "Steamed dried vegetable buns, noodles, dried vegetables given by Aunt Zhou." Didn't you say two days ago that you wanted to eat steamed buns? I sent noodles last night, and I thought about steaming steamed buns. ”

Yuan Anping saw that his face was red from the fire, and his face was much better than a few days ago, and said with a smile: "Your face is much better than before, at least you have blood." So what I said is right, you must eat well, eat three meals a day, and don't be reluctant to eat. As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask, "The buns are whole wheat noodles, right?"

Huo Xiaohan nodded a little embarrassedly, he was used to saving when cooking, and the steamed buns were mixed with wheat noodles, and they were still a little wheat noodles, and Yuan Anping did a lot of ideological work. However, they are all people who are used to living a hard life, if according to Yuan Anping's statement, they eat eggs every day and eat meat every three days, even the middle grandson and grandfather feel a little luxurious.

"This time I did what you said, all the fine wheat noodles, I also added some meat, Aunt Zhou said that the dried vegetable buns with some oil residue are delicious, and there is no oil residue at home, I added some meat foam It should be good. ”

Yuan Anping listened with satisfaction: "That's right, didn't I bring you a lot of things, don't be reluctant to eat, I'll buy it after eating." Several of us are physically weak, and we have to make up for it. "Because he made up his mind to raise the two grandfathers and grandfathers, he moved a lot of things over, and there were a lot of chickens, fish, meat and eggs, all of which were for them to replenish their bodies, and they didn't have to fire by the way, plus several people had to take medicine, and Huo Xiaohan boiled it, and Yuan Anping simply ate it here.

"Listen to you. Huo Xiaohan's eyes were full of smiles, he never dreamed that his life could be so good.

Seeing him say this, Yuan Anping hurriedly made a request: "Then eat fried radish cakes tomorrow morning, what you made before was quite delicious." ”

Huo Xiaohan agreed: "Okay." Boil rice porridge or millet porridge?"

"Millet porridge, millet porridge nourishes the stomach. ”

While the two were talking, Zhong Sunrui came over.

When Zhong Sunrui saw Yuan Anping, he happily stepped forward to greet him: "Brother Anping." "Since he met Yuan Anping, he feels that he has fallen into a nest of blessings, and now he can eat eggs and meat every day, and he is very happy every day.

Yuan Anping smiled and talked to him: "Is your grandfather awake?"

"Grandpa is already up. ”

Huo Xiaohan brought the reserved hot water to Zhong Sunrui: "Go wash your face, you will be able to eat soon." ”

Zhong Sunrui took the basin and left, and he washed it with his grandfather.

When the buns were cooked, Yuan Anping couldn't help but take one first, thinking that it was Huo Xiaohan who was working hard to cook, so he gave the first one to the other party: "You taste the taste first, see if the saltiness is enough." ”

Huo Xiaohan took it with a smile and took a small bite, the buns just out of the pot were the best time, "It's delicious, the saltiness is just right." ”

Yuan Anping couldn't wait to take a bite of it, although it was a little hot, it couldn't stop his determination to eat, and he blew cold air on the buns while eating, and finished eating the buns in a few days.

"It's delicious! I'll serve the meal, you can call them over for dinner." Yuan Anping didn't continue to stretch out his hand towards the buns, but picked up the bowl to serve the rice, and waited for everyone to arrive before eating.

Huo Xiaohan came over with his grandfather and grandson not long after he went out, and Zhongsun Lian Jue was on crutches that Yuan Anping asked him to make, and it was convenient to walk.

Yuan Anping saw him coming, "Come uncle, sit here." As he spoke, he stepped forward and helped him to sit down. Speaking of which, when he knew that Zhongsun Lianjue was not yet forty years old, Yuan Anping sighed fiercely at that time. Men under the age of forty have such a big grandson, and early marriage and early childbearing in ancient times are really early. I couldn't help but calculate when I would become a grandfather if I married a wife and had children at the age of eighteen. After doing the math, he thought that his son would get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and he felt that it was better to get married later.

Zhongsun Lianjue sat down, because they were quite familiar with each other, and their attitude was much more casual, and said with a smile: "You came quite early today, do you know that Xiaohan is going to steam steamed buns this morning?"

Yuan Anping laughed, he used to come mostly with food, and sometimes they all ate almost enough, and he just arrived. Mainly, it's too difficult to get out of bed in winter. I was able to get up so early today because I knew that the steamed buns I had steamed before had been eaten, and I definitely had to eat something fresh this morning.

He took chopsticks and sandwiched a bun for Zhongsun Lianjue: "Uncle, eat steamed buns, I have already tasted them, and they taste very good." Then he also sandwiched one for Zhongsun Rui, "Xiao Rui eat more, eat more and grow faster." ”

Huo Xiaohan put the porridge bowl in front of everyone, and then sat down next to Yuan Anping. Everyone began to talk and laugh and eat breakfast.

The weather was fine on this day, and the sun was shining all over the yard after breakfast. Yuan Anping moved a stool and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun, because Huo Xiaohan had a few empty houses here, so he simply moved the teaching location here, so that even if he came over every day, because there were two grandchildren and grandfathers, plus the children who came to class in the afternoon, there was no need to worry about the rumors of lonely men and widows. As for his house, he had other plans.

Seeing Zhongsun Lianjue coming out, Yuan Anping got up and brought him a chair: "Uncle, come and sit here to bask in the sun." After a few days of getting along, the two of them became acquainted, and he spoke a little more casually.

Zhongsun Lianjue went over and sat down, in the winter day, after eating, find a warm place to sit and bask in the sun, and the sun was drowsy, which was the best feeling.

Zhongsun Lian Jue glanced at the book Yuan Anping was reading, and asked, "Are you going to test your fame?"

"yes. Yuan Anping closed the book and stretched his waist, the three scriptures that must be examined, which one of them seems to be a kind of torment for him.

Zhongsun Lianjue thought of something and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "The emperor is stupid, the traitorous minister is in charge, what is there to do for this official." With your temperament, I advise you to rest your mind as soon as possible, lest you not know how to die. ”

Yuan Anping smiled and said, "The old man is a little cynical." You've knocked over a boatload of people with one stroke. Besides, when did I say that I was going to be an official?" put aside the book in his hand and continued: "I just want to take the test for fame and be a showman, of course, it would be better if I could be admitted to the exam." As you can see, I have taught some children to read, and it is good for these children to have a gentleman with a good name. Saying that, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Besides, I also have self-knowledge, and it can be seen from the fact that I picked you up casually and raised you, I am not suitable to be an official." ”

"Hmph, the only thing you can do is be kind. ”

Yuan Anping said with a smile: "I'll just think you're praising me." However, I am not a person who is so kind-hearted that I can't help myself, and if I can't support you, you see if I will take care of you. At the end of the day, my kindness is limited. ”

"You kid!" Zhongsun Lian Jue shook his head with a smile, in his opinion, Yuan Anping is also a rare good person, he has felt too much warmth and coldness, and he has seen too many people who only want to be alone, so he made up his mind and asked, "Are you confident in passing the exam?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Anping couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I really don't have any confidence at all. He knew every word in the book, and he was dizzy when he got together, and this state made him take the test, which was too difficult.

"You're Mr. Missing, right?" What he has seen and heard in the past few days, Zhongsun Lian Jue has also guessed Yuan Anping's situation. In terms of the current situation, no one who knows about Yuan Anping's actions will be willing to be a gentleman for him. The self-proclaimed high-minded will even scold a few words.

Although most of the people in the village already knew that they had found a master, in fact, Yuan Anping didn't want to make it too obvious that he was asking for retribution, so he never mentioned anything to Zhongsun Lianjue, and now the other party took the initiative to mention that he wanted to be his husband, he naturally couldn't ask for it, but he deliberately said in a skeptical tone: "You?"

Seeing that the other party had a disbelieving attitude of "it's up to you", Zhongsun Lianjue was dissatisfied: "What kind of eyes are you? I am also a person who has been an official for a few years." ”

Yuan Anping was really curious about Zhongsun Lianjue's past: "Then how did you get to this point?"

Talking about this topic, thinking of the past, Zhongsun Lianjue had too many vicissitudes in his eyes, and he laughed at himself: "The past is unbearable, only blame me for being too stupid." ”

Yuan Anping felt that the other party's sadness was too obvious, and wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so he deliberately teased: "Not bad, not bad, dare to face your own shortcomings, and have courage." ”

Zhongsun Lian Jue didn't want to mention the past, "Boy, don't slip your head." Say, don't be my student. ”

Yuan Anping also deliberately took Qiao: "I don't want to enter any faction." ”

"Don't worry, I'm just being caught up in the faction. Then he said, "It is said that one day is a teacher and a father for life, and you will respect me more in the future." Don't just because it's cooked, it's not big or small. ”

"Don't worry, I must respect you, meat can't be broken, okay?"

"That's good. "Before, he didn't take food to heart, but now he has a more appetite. I have to comfort myself, people live for a lifetime, eat and drink, and what fame and fortune have long been a thing of the past for him. 166 Reading Network
