They lived here for four or five days, and they couldn't wait for Xiaohu to catch up, so they were impatient to wait any longer. Organize and salute, prepare some things that need to be used on the road, and say goodbye to Anzi and his wife.

Mingjing thought that he was familiar with playing with his brothers, so he was reluctant to let them go, hugging his brother's legs and crying and not letting them go. Holding this can't work, and he was anxious to hug that brother, looking at his panicked desire to keep a few brothers, and tears of distress for his uncle, big milk, grandfather, and grandmother, but they couldn't let any grandson stay, and they couldn't take Mingjing back. 'Parting is the most hurtful', and this has been the case since ancient times. It's no wonder that the uncle always thinks about being with the family and Meimei, don't be so heartbreaking.

They had just set off on their side, and Xiaolong over there returned to Hepu Town with the three unsuccessful people. It is said that Director Shi has already achieved such good results in the previous two sessions, and this time he should be able to treat it indifferently. But he still didn't seem to be able to treat his students indifferently and made such good grades, his face was red with excitement, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say. Xiaolong was sweating in a hurry, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter, but his sister-in-law said that if Director Shi was always like this, he would probably have a stroke, and if he unfortunately had a stroke and couldn't move his whole body, it would be a bad thing. The school in this town, along with the Wang Family School, all rely on him!

However, Shi Jingxuan may have dealt with his father's situation twice, and he already has experience. I saw him walk behind his father unhurriedly, and kicked his father's heel violently, Curator Shi jumped up in pain, and scolded while turning around: "Which vertical man dares to kick the old man?" ”

"Daddy! You're young next year. What do you have to do with an old man, an old man? The roots of my teeth itch when I hear it! Director Shi's daughter was also frightened, but when she saw that her father was sober, she was in a good mood and said a joke.

She had just been married for less than two years. Several of the students who had won the Zhongjin Shi in the previous Curator Shi also had the intention of marrying her, but she was probably frightened by her father's original change and did not agree. After that, he married an ordinary workshop steward. Oh! It should already be called the workshop director. They lived in a two-bedroom house assigned to them by their host, because they lived in the same town, close to her father, and often used to be at work when the man was working. Come here to tidy up the house for her father, wash clothes, quilts, and take care of her father.

When everyone saw that Director Shi was fine, they all laughed and joked with confidence. "Mr. Curator. It's your son who kicked you, Steward Shi! But thank you so much for your son, if he hadn't kicked you awake, you wouldn't be in a daze right now! ”

"Cut! What do you know? Mr. Curator is confused. He's counting that he has brought out a few more Wenqu stars! ”

"Returning Wenqu Xing! They should all be big officials now. Oops! Mr. Curator is terrible, how many students should be in this office? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! That's too much to count! Oh my god! I'm dizzy just thinking about it! No wonder Mr. Curator couldn't come back to his senses for a long time just now! ”

Curator Shi told everyone that I couldn't stand up for a word, and waved his big hand: "Go back and stay, and then tell you to continue, I can't hide this blushing even if I drill into the ground!" ”

When the others were dispersed, Curator Shi asked Xiaolong about the banquet. Xiaolong planned to put the banquet in the reeds, and held it together with the open day of the reeds. Curator Shi agrees, but. He was also worried that a trip would take two or three days, and he was afraid that not many relatives and his family would be willing to make this trip.

Xiaolong didn't care about this. Originally, he didn't plan to have a banquet, but he only considered that some people had to come, so he thought about spreading the name of the reed swing that he had been busy with for six years. On the other hand, I also want to invite guests through my own banquet to add some popularity to the day of the opening of the reeds.

After saying goodbye to Director Shi, he went back to Wangjiazhuang, and as soon as he got home to freshen up, he was called by his grandfather and asked for a while: "Xiaolong!" Did you pass the exam? ”

"Hit, grandpa!"

"How many did you win?"

"First place!"

Grandpa is old, his ears are a little back, and his reaction is a little sluggish, and he hasn't reacted when he hears Xiaolong say that he is the first, so he said with a little complaint: "First place!" Why didn't you win the top prize? When you were young, you said you wanted to be the champion! ”

When the grandfather who was accompanying him heard that Xiaolong had said it, he was already excited to jump up, and then he heard that it was the first place, and his ass was like a fire, and he jumped up and opened his mouth to speak. At this time, when he heard his father complaining that Xiaolong failed to win the championship, he couldn't help but turn his head and say loudly to his father: "Dad! The first place is the champion! How come you don't know? ”

Grandpa Tai heard his eldest son's words loudly, and gasped as soon as he was excited, and his throat was itchy for a while, and then there was a violent cough.

The grandmother and several daughters-in-law in the courtyard also heard the grandfather's words loudly, and they all ran into the hall in shock, and asked Xiaolong silently: "Xiaolong, have you won the champion?" Why is there no sound at all? The county lord has to beat the gong and drum for you and send it back! ”

Xiaolong said with a smile: "We are rushing back all the way, and the county government estimates that there is no news yet!" The good news on the emperor's list is reported to the third brother and the fourth brother, even if the good news has already been reported, under normal circumstances, it will not be sent to the family again. ”

The eldest grandmother followed up and asked, "What about the wedding banquet?" Your brother and sister-in-law and uncle have not come back, do you have to wait for them? ”

"I'm going to hold a banquet and entertain guests on the reed side, and when I'm busy there, they'll almost be home, just in time!"

Although Grandpa Tai's ears are not very good, if he listens carefully, he can hear others. At this time, I heard Xiaolong say that he was not holding a banquet at home, so he was anxious. Hurriedly interjected: "That's not going to work! We must be invited from all over the country, how can you get so far away? ”

The purpose of Xiaolong's banquet is to spread the word in the reed swing scenic area through the name of Zhuangyuanlang, otherwise he would not necessarily treat him with his ideas, let alone arrange this matter personally.

He amplified his voice and replied to Grandpa: "Grandpa! I'll have a treat at the reed swing first, and when I'm done entertaining, I'll leave for work. And then whatever you want at home, you can do whatever you want? I don't care! ”

The eldest grandfather nodded on the side and said to his father, "Dad! Just do as Xiaolong says! ”

Grandpa Tai heard the meaning, and he had to invite him at home once, so he hummed reassuringly: "Hmm! That's fine, you invite yours, I'll invite mine! ”

The eldest grandmother with a few daughters-in-law next to her was not easy to interject, and only looked at the newly released champion with her eyes. originally looked at the nephew and grandson who was very ordinary, but when he looked at it now, he suddenly found that he had a "noble portrait" with a rich face. Hehe! It's obviously psychological!

The grandfather over there asked Xiaolong again: "Did you go to the capital to meet the old lady of the Huang family this time?" ”

Xiaolong endured it, looked at the grandfather, looked at the grandfather, and saw that the grandfather looked like he was waiting for him, so he replied slowly: "The old lady of the Huang family has passed away five years ago!" His grandson is now a second-class member, and he can't wait for idlers to see him. Later, I won the top prize and might be able to meet me, but I was in a hurry to come back and didn't have time to ask for a meeting! So"

Although Grandpa Tai sometimes reacts slowly, the words of old age are not empty, and he understands what Xiaolong means when he thinks about it. The Huang family is now a big official, and it is not something that can be seen if you want to see it. Originally, I also heard that there were often dirty things in the examination room, so I thought that there was a fellow who was a big official to help Xiaolong, so as not to let Xiaolong suffer in the examination room. Now that he has won the champion, it is not so important whether the Huang family can get acquainted.

Grandpa Tai didn't think so, but praised in his mouth: "This old lady Huang's grandson is also a capable person, and he has become a second-class official!" The Huang family in the county town is afraid that there will be people who will go to the capital to entangle! ”

The second daughter-in-law of the eldest grandmother had also heard about the origin of the Huang family in the town, and interjected on the side: "What's the use of entanglement?" I didn't listen to what Xiaolong said, ordinary people can't enter the door at all. ”

Xiaolong smiled and said: "I heard that the Huang family in the county town really went to the capital to make trouble, but he was almost arrested by the officers and soldiers patrolling the capital, and ran away in disgrace, and I haven't heard of the Huang family recognizing relatives since then." The Huang family in the county seat looked at the reputation of the Huang family in the capital, and they would definitely take them into the mansion. It's a pity that they didn't expect that those officers and soldiers only care about law and order, and they don't care whether anyone's reputation is good or not. It can be seen that in the capital, you can't act as arbitrarily as in the locality! ”

The eldest grandfather nodded and said: "This is also true, only the villagers who have lived in the countryside all their lives will be afraid of having a bad reputation in their hometown." If you really want to be far away from home, you don't know anyone, and that person cares about your reputation! The Huang family in the county seat is also stupid enough to do such a thing! ”

Grandpa Tai didn't care much about the affairs of the Huang family, he just talked casually and sighed. At this time, he was busy asking how Dahong and Xiangzi were in the capital? How about the child? How is Yasuko? How about Daman? Xiaolong answered one by one, knowing that the nephews and grandchildren were all fine outside, so Grandpa nodded with satisfaction.

Although there is still a nurse at home, Xiaolong's meals today are all eaten at grandpa's house, eating, drinking, chatting, and staying until late before going home.

The next morning, I rode to the reeds to get busy with the banquet and the open day.

Although everything has been arranged for Luweidang, the personnel reception arrangements on the opening day, the allocation of food materials, the equipment of transportation, the safety measures, the equipment of various entertainment equipment (fishing rods and hooks, boats swimming in the lake), tea and pastries, although he does not need to do it personally, but he has to ask, must not be missing when the guests arrive.

In the past few years, his brother and sister-in-law have completely let it go, and he has watched it all by himself, but he has discovered his potential in all aspects. Now that he had to go there alone to arrange an open house and the many complicated things of the day of the banquet, he was not at all worried. (To be continued......)
