Erya nodded exaggeratedly, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Makes sense!" My child's father is really a literate person, and he can understand such a mysterious thing. ”

Xiaolong, who was still sad that he failed the exam, was amused by his sister-in-law's weird and funny words, and laughed "haha".

Xiaohu has been worrying about not knowing how to coax this sad brother, and now seeing him laugh with his mouth open, his heart is suddenly a lot easier. He also followed "Hey, hey! He smiled and seemed to enjoy his daughter-in-law's strange teasing of him.

At dinner, Erya looked at Xiaolong, who was still eating hard, and asked the question in his heart: "Xiaolong, didn't I not let you take the exam too early?" How did you come up with the idea of going to the county test? ”

Xiaolong, who knew that his sister-in-law and brother were not good for his exams, was not angry, and he was in a good mood. When my sister-in-law asked at this time, he was able to answer cheerfully: "The old gentleman who brought me the appeal to me and Brother Anzi, and the dean only informed me after he approved it." I don't know, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pass the county exam if I had prepared well! ”

Erya didn't want to preach, but she couldn't help it when she didn't say it at this time, so she tried her best to say in a gentle tone: "You still don't understand your old gentleman's intentions, if you rely on the pre-exam assault to improve your grades, then where did you usually learn?" It seems that you still rely on your little cleverness more than your usual efforts, and perhaps your old gentleman sees this and wants to wake you up in this way. But you don't seem to get it! ”

Xiaolong suddenly became nervous, and asked his sister-in-law in disbelief, "Really?" Is it that the gentleman is disappointed in me?! ”

When Erya saw Xiaolong, it was as if he had suddenly lost all his confidence. It's a little nervous, and it's very distressing. patiently comforted him: "No! If your husband had been disappointed in you, he would not have gone to great lengths to let you go to this examination room. But. You really can't be humble on the face and proud on the inside, otherwise your husband will be really disappointed in you. Don't let this defeat blow you off at all, cheer up, remember this lesson, and you will go further in the future. ”

Xiaolong looked down at the bowl and nodded unconsciously. While poking the rice in the bowl with chopsticks carelessly.

The originally naughty child suddenly became so listless, and Xiaohu felt uncomfortable. stretched out his arm, patted his younger brother on the shoulder across the corner of the dining table, and said softly, "Xiaolong." Don't feel bad. No matter what, you're still my good brother, cheer up and eat well. ”

Erya also quickly apologized: "Oops! Xiaolong, I'm sorry! Sister-in-law is really itchy, why do you talk about these unhappy things when you are eating. You eat well, sister-in-law won't talk about it! ”

Wen Chao is slightly larger. Some are sensible. Knowing that his father and mother were persuading his little uncle to eat well, he also knelt on the bench. Stretched out his arm and grabbed a piece of chicken breast, and put it in the bowl of the little uncle, "Uncle! Eat meat. ”

Wen Yue watched his brother sandwich meat for the little uncle, he followed the study, stood on the stool, climbed on the table, and tinkered for a long time before trembling to clamp the largest piece, which was the chicken butt, and raised it to Xiaolong: "Little uncle!" To give! ”

Xiaolong saw that it was a chicken butt, and he didn't want to take it, and he was afraid that Xiao Yue would cry more and more, which was quite embarrassing. Erya wondered about Xiaolong's awkwardness, so she turned her face to look at Xiao Yueyue's chicken nuggets, and when she looked closely, it was a chicken butt, and she couldn't help laughing. Immediately afterwards, Xiaohu and Wen Chao also staggered and burst into laughter. The nurse stood up embarrassedly, stretched out her rice bowl to pick up Xiao Yueyue's chicken butt, and explained to Erya, "The owner lady, I originally planned to pick it out for Xiao Hei to eat, but I forgot it when I served the dish, I'm sorry!" ”

Er Ya smiled and covered her stomach, while saying intermittently to the nurse: "No, no, it's okay!" Ah! Laughing, laughing, my stomach hurts. ”

The atmosphere that was originally a little uncomfortable by Erya made Xiao Yueyue so interrupted that he was blown over like a gust of wind. After that, Er Ya didn't dare to tell Xiaolong about this exam again.

That night, when the couple was lying on the bed, Erya told Xiaohu about what the shopkeeper Zhang said: "Today, the shopkeeper Zhang told me that a few days ago, a woman went to their owner to cooperate in opening a knitting sweater workshop. I thought about it all the way, and when I thought about it, I always suspected that the person was the lobby sister-in-law. If it's really her, as long as she doesn't maliciously oppose us, I think it's up to her. What do you see?! ”

Xiaohu felt sorry for the sister-in-law in the lobby, and didn't want to talk about her, so he said perfunctorily: "I don't understand this, you can do it yourself!" ”

Erya thought of the orphans in the town's examination again, and suddenly sighed, "Hey! Originally, I thought we should keep a low profile, so as not to be eaten as fat. But when the history curator makes such a fuss, it will definitely set off a lot of turmoil.

Also, the first time they appeared, they got such good results in the exam, this celebration banquet must be held, otherwise those children will feel bad.

When the time comes, you will discuss with Grandpa Tai and Director Shi, and I am very scared about entertaining. ”

"Hmm!" Xiaohu's tone was a little excited, and then he said: "You said, our school has passed so many exams at once, will the whole state government know!" If a lot of people are going to send their children to school here, aren't we going to add classrooms and dormitories?! ”

Erya thought about it and replied: "The school in the town is all orphans, and occasionally there are a few children from outside, who are also relatives of our two families, because they don't spend money in vain, they don't dare to bully these orphans in our family, if outsiders send children over, they must collect money, but in this way, those children will rely on it, and they will bully our orphans." Therefore, you have to make it clear to Director Shi that no matter who comes to study, don't agree. ”

As long as Erya thinks about the fact that he was bullied by some ignorant children and almost couldn't survive, he had abnormal chest tightness. At that time, because he was a few years older than those bear children and had learned martial arts that he couldn't use, his parents always thought that he was bullying others. All kinds of reproaches and counts to yourself

Alas! Er Ya sighed silently in her heart, don't think about the past anymore. Anyway, she made up her mind here, no matter what happened to the town school. At present, they will not recruit students from outside, and they spend so much money to raise these children, so they can't let others bully them.

"Good! When Ming'er came back from the provincial capital, I stopped by to talk to Director Shi. "Xiaohu basically listens to Erya in major matters, no matter what others think of his daughter-in-law, but in his eyes. His daughter-in-law just knows how to see farther and more than him, and she is bold and careful, and she is far from being able to reach her.

The next day, Xiaohu sent the horse to the prefect, and Erya did not make breakfast. Go directly to grandma's stall and buy it. But today there is pumpkin porridge and peanut rice porridge. asked grandma curiously: "Grandma!" Do you still have pumpkins and peanuts at home? ”

Grandma was too busy to answer Erya, and grandpa answered next to her: "This peanut is a seed left that has not been used up, and your grandma said that cooking porridge is fragrant and fresh, and delicious." This pumpkin was given by your aunt's mother's family. Let's make pumpkin poop to eat. Your grandmother has to be boiled into porridge. Give it to the children, saying that children love to eat this. ”

Erya smiled and nodded, and said: "I also like these two kinds of porridge, bring me a pot of the same, five pancakes, five egg scones, four with small salted fish, and one with salted pork slices." Grandma is doing it. I'll go sweep the yard first, and I'll come out and get it later!" ”

The children were still exercising, practicing martial arts, and herding horses on the other side of the woods. It's almost time to come back, so she asked her grandmother to make it first, otherwise Wen Chao Wenyue will have to eat as soon as she comes back, and she will scream after waiting for a long time.

Xiaolong and the others haven't come back yet, but the town's curator Shi has come to the door early.

Erya was cleaning the yard, and when she saw Director Shi enter the courtyard gate, she hurriedly put the big broom in her hand to the side and leaned against the wall. greeted Curator Shi with a smile: "Curator is here!" It's early! ”

Curator Shi sneered at Erya, "The owner is a good lady!" I took the liberty to come here today, what a disturbance! ”

Er Ya waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, I also knew that you might have someone come over today, but I didn't expect you to come in person." ”

Director Shi led the students to take the exam this time, and his mental outlook was higher than when he came here, which was one day and one place. It is not an exaggeration to describe him with a red face. When he heard the lady of the proprietor say such things, he knew that the lady of the proprietor was exalting him. However, he is also a person who has experienced ups and downs, so he has a very correct mentality, and immediately smiled and said: "I'm not a big person, why can't I come here in person!" I was supposed to come yesterday to report the good news to the owner and the lady of the owner, but I was too tired and wanted to rest. After resting all night, the spirit and body are better, and I hurried over early this morning, and I hope that the lady of the owner will not be surprised. ”

Erya gestured to invite Curator Shi into the hall to sit down, and said, "Please go in and sit." If you don't come today, we will also go over, not to mention that the students you led have passed so many exams at once, even if there is only one, this celebration banquet cannot be without you. Originally, when my child's father was about to come back from the provincial capital, he passed by you and discussed with you. But it's okay if you come over, you sit down and have a cup of tea first, and I'll ask someone to call my grandfather and uncle over, and you can discuss what to do with this celebration banquet. ”

Curator Shi responded: "Yes! Yes! The proprietor lady thinks about it. ”

Curator Shi came here just to decide whether to hold a celebration banquet, and now the lady of the owner has already said it first, so he doesn't have to say anything, just wait and discuss with the head of the Wang family and Li Zhen how to do this banquet, and save him from having to talk about anything.

Since Curator Shi suffered such a setback, in addition to teaching the children, he can make witty words and talk non-stop. But on any other occasion he had no interest in speaking, whether it was to the dignitaries or the common people.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, it's that his mind is really blank as soon as he leaves the book, and he can't say anything he wants to say. Over time, he became reticent, and others speculated that he was too hard hit and became cringe.

He probably couldn't understand why, but as long as he wasn't allowed to talk more, he would be able to deal with it in other ways. Being able to come here in person today, and saying a lot of kind words, it seems that people are really in good spirits on happy occasions, and their brains can become clear. (To be continued......)
