After speaking, she stretched out her big hand and wanted to pull Dong Ping. Dong Ping flashed to the side quietly, and replied lightly, "Lao Erniang bothered, I came back after eating at my sister's place." ”

Erniang? When Niu heard this, the horizontal flesh on his face shook fiercely, and he endured it again and again so that he didn't scold on the spot. She has been married into the Dong family for more than ten years, has children, and is in charge of family affairs, and has always regarded herself as Dong Xiucai's original partner, and no one outside dares to mention the word "steproom" in front of her. Only these two little cubs, when they were children, they would rather be whipped to death than change their words, but now their wings are hard, and they dare to slap her in the face like this in front of outsiders.

"Well, okay, let's go home."

Hearing Niu's words before he obviously gritted his back molars, Dong Ping really felt very happy in his heart, he made a circle to the villagers, and said with a smile, "Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, now that I have just obtained the qualification of a student, it is the time to study hard and continue the scientific examination, I really don't want to be distracted by miscellaneous matters, so thank you for your kindness." It is said that beauty is not beautiful, hometown water, kiss or not, hometown people. I, Dong Juncheng, was born in Huaishu Village and grew up in Huaishu Village, no matter where I go in the future, I will never forget my roots, please rest assured. Don't pass it for the time being, it will stay in time for a day, and Juncheng will visit again. ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply again, and then slowly walked out of the crowd and went to his yard. Niu Shi rolled his eyes, flicked his veil and followed. Leaving a group of villagers looking at each other for a long time, one of the old men clicked his lips and praised first, "The Dong family's Xiao Xiucai's book is really not in vain, and it makes sense to speak in a pleasant and reasonable way." ”

Another old woman said, "How can you read it in vain, people are now Xiucai masters, and maybe they will still be champions in the future." ”

There was a little daughter-in-law who was pregnant with a child, she stood on the periphery and saw Dong Ping leaving in a chic manner, and she was very envious in her heart, so she said, "Mrs. Dong is really blessed, her husband and son are both talented." If I give birth to a wise child, I will send him to school. ”

"Phew, she's a fart blessed! You have just been married in the village for a few years, and you don't know the details of the Dong family. This surnamed Niu was married after the death of Mrs. Dong family, and the second son of the Dong family, who was fatter than a pig, was her own child. Brother Ping'er's mother is the eldest lady! “

"It's just that she's a shrew with virtue and can raise a good son. Brother Ping and Sister Rong were almost tortured to death by her when they were young, and now that Brother Ping is out, you see how disgusting she looks! ”

Everyone was scolded by the Niu family, and finally found a place for revenge at this time, and they all spoke out about the evil deeds of the Niu family's old people on weekdays, and they almost said that she was a demon with horns on her head and sneaking into various houses at night to steal and eat children. The little daughter-in-law was so frightened that she clutched her stomach tightly, and secretly swore that she must stay away from Niu's in the future.

didn't mention how everyone counted the Niu clan behind their backs, but said that Dong Ping entered his yard and saw that his father was sitting in the house drinking tea and stepped forward to salute. Dong Xiucai looked at the son who had grown into a handsome young man at some point, and his face was very complicated. He waved his hand and motioned for his son to sit down without courtesy, and then he took on the posture of being a father and said, "Although you are close to your sister, this is your home, and you have to come back and walk around often when the academy is closed." ”

"Yes." Dong Ping replied dryly, and there were no other words.

Dong Xiucai frowned, and said, "Although you have won the college examination this time, there will be township examinations, meeting examinations, and palace examinations in the future, so you must not be complacent, and you must continue to study hard." ”

"Yes, Dad." Dong Ping responded dryly as usual, with a respectful and polite expression, but there were no superfluous words.

Dong Xiucai didn't feel good in his heart, and was a little annoyed, but before he could speak, Niu, who had just come in behind Dong Ping, couldn't hold back, and said first, "Brother Ping, you are coming back from the orchard." Speaking of which, Sister Rong hasn't seen anyone for several months, and this married girl can ignore her father, and we can't help but worry about her. I don't know how her orchard was harvested and how much silver she earned. ”

Dong Ping sneered in his heart, a fox is a fox, and he will never pretend to be a person, but three sentences will definitely show his tail.

"Erniang doesn't know, although my sister's orchard harvest is good, she hasn't sold a penny of silver."

"Oh, Brother Ping'er is joking, right? How can it be? Niu obviously didn't believe this, even Master Dong was puzzled. Dong Ping didn't hide it from them, and simply told him how he had a grudge with Xue Dashao.

Niu slapped her thigh with hatred, as if the silver lost in the orchard was her private room, and scolded loudly, "Sister Rong is really stupid, how can she get along with the silver at this time!" After speaking, she scolded Dong Ping again, "You are also a strong seed, but you just kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes, and you can be missing a piece of meat." This is good, a few dozen taels of silver will be gone! ”

Dong Ping heard her say that kneeling and humiliating things were so lightly that he was so angry that his fists clenched tightly. However, Dong Xiucai still has some literati backbone, and praised, "Sister Rong did the right thing, you also have a reputation on your head now, how can you be bullied lightly?" ”

Niu hated him and refused to agree with him, and stretched out his arm across the table and pinched it fiercely, which made Old Man Dong grin but tried his best to endure it, refusing to lose face in front of his son.

Dong Ping pretended not to see it, and said lightly, "It's not easy for my sister to provide me with education, and because I didn't have half of the income in the orchard, I gave my sister the ten acres of tax-free land under my name." ”

"What!" Niu was pondering and asking for duty-free fields and paper, ink and silver, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped up and shouted, "Which one allows you to give the tax-free field to others?" Your sister is married, and she is not the Dong family, so why should she occupy my Dong family's tax-free land? ”

A touch of disgust flashed in Dong Ping's eyes, and he replied lightly, "Although my sister is married, my Dong family show is my sister's confession." ”

"You, you..." Niu's face turned black when he was blocked, and he quickly asked again, "What about the paper, ink and silver, don't sue sù and give it to me too!" ”

Dong Ping glanced at his father coldly and did not answer. Dong Xiucai remembered the cold and alienated children on the day of the hospital examination, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to scold Niu's, "What are you shouting, the paper, ink and silver are given by the official family, and they are reserved for the students to buy paper and ink and other things on weekdays, Brother Ping himself is not enough, how can he give it to Sister Rong." ”

Niu's hatred stomped her feet, and the tax-free fields and paper, ink and silver couldn't fall into her hands, so what did she still like this little cub to do with middle school students? It's better to stay at home and be a cow and a horse, and let yourself do whatever you want!

Dong Ping was really impatient to sit down again, so he got up and said, "Dad, I'll go back to my sister." ”

"Well, okay, on the way..."Dong Xiucai was halfway through, but Niu jumped out and stopped Dong Ping and said, "No, tomorrow there will be a wine at home to celebrate, how can you become a rookie if you are not at home?" In the evening, you will go to each house in the village for me to ask for someone, and if one of them does not come, you will not pay attention to them if they have something to ask for in the future! ”

Dong Ping tried his best to endure it so that he didn't roll his eyes fiercely, just then he scolded everyone like that, and at this time he wanted people to come to the door with a congratulatory gift, how thick a cheek it would be to do this.

"The gentleman from the academy is going to take me to Kyoto tomorrow to meet friends, and I don't know when I will be back. The family banquet will be held until I win the championship. ”

After saying this, he bypassed the Niu clan and fled out of the courtyard quickly. Leaving Niu's still pondering, "What day is the champion... Wrong! The little cub lied to me, this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse? ”

Niu's was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, Dong Xiucai didn't want to give wine and gifts, after all, he was still a private school teacher, and his face was very important. At this time, seeing that his son pushed this matter in three or two sentences, he breathed a sigh of relief and got up and left. For a while, only Niu was left in the house, scolding endlessly, shaking the roof and dusting down, pouring her head and face...

Dong Rong and Zhuzi sat in front of the door after dinner to enjoy the scenery, the fields under the mountain have been harvested clean, some have turned up and planted wheat, and some have erected bud grain stalks, looking black and yellow from a distance, but there is also a bit of wild interest. Dong Rong was a little upset when she was worried about whether her younger brother was embarrassed by her stepmother, and when she was in a daze, she suddenly felt as if something was arching next to her feet, so she was shocked and jumped into the arms of the stupid pillar, "There is a snake!" ”

Silly Zhu was also taken aback, since the last accident, the secret guards have sprinkled the medicinal powder specially prepared by Mr. Feng around the orchard, not to mention that the insect snake is a beast will avoid it far away, how can there be a snake?

He hugged Dong Rong tightly and took two steps, but when he took a closer look in the sunset, it turned out to be a hedgehog the size of a steamed bun sniffing around with his little nose.

"Don't be afraid, it's a hedgehog, not a snake!"

"Hedgehog?" Dong Rong poked her head out of the arms of the stupid pillar and looked at it, and immediately laughed, "Oh, this hedgehog is so small." As she spoke, she struggled to jump down and ran to play with the little uninvited guest.

Silly Zhu looked at the empty embrace, and suddenly regretted why he told the truth, otherwise he might be able to ask for another kiss, saving her from having to secretly kiss a few times every night while she was asleep.

Dong Rong didn't know the greed of the stupid pillar, she took a small wooden stick and played with the little hedgehog with great interest, and asked, "Pillar, what does it like to eat?" Apple or pear? ”

The little hedgehog didn't know if he understood her words, and instead of forming a ball and erecting the sharp thorns on his back, he stepped forward and raised his head flatteringly. Two small black bean eyes, lined with the same black little nose, not to mention how cute.

Dong Rong threw the wooden stick with joy, tapped its nose with her hand, and asked, "Little thing, are you lazy, why did you come out to find food?" It's going to be winter soon, so why don't you find a hole to hide and sleep? ”

The little hedgehog tilted his head in confusion and thought for a long time, and finally squeaked twice very aggrieved. Dong Rong hurriedly coaxed the child to respond, "Oh, oh, I know, this is your sad thing, I won't ask again, okay?" You stay at my house for the winter, the apple tube is enough to eat, okay? ”

Seeing that this person was playing so happily with a hedgehog, Silly Zhu shook his head helplessly and funny, and finally turned around and went into the house to get an apple. Dong Rong was afraid that the little hedgehog would not be able to bite it, so she deliberately cut it into small pieces with a knife and put it on the grass. The little hedgehog munched happily, shaking its little body excitedly from time to time, like a puppy wagging its tail to please its owner. ZM
