The shopkeeper of Qinghua Building was transferred from the provincial government, and he had never seen any battles, how could Shu Ergu's simple trick not be clear! Immediately called the little two who served in the box, the little two in this store are also well-behaved, the ins and outs are clear, and the evidence is also taken out: Shu Ergu's paper for rats! There are also a few hairs stuck to it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is ironclad evidence, Shu Ergu has nothing to say, and looks at Shu Erfu at a loss. Second Uncle Shu's face was flushed, and he couldn't get off the stage in front of the guests, the shopkeeper was not mean, he smiled and gave the bill to the running hall, and went to the Ji family car shop to ask for money.

After settling the account, the guests and Chinese people immediately took their leave, thinking that they must not cooperate with such people. Second Aunt Shu and Second Aunt Shu, who folded the money and lost face, went back to their parents' house to complain in a fit of anger.

But what they didn't know was that as soon as they came out of Qinghua Tower, their glorious deeds spread all over Weixian City, and Shu Lao Er naturally knew about it.

For a long time, Second Uncle Shu would be ridiculed when he went out to eat, and he would be laughed at by the shopkeeper of the restaurant and asked to bring money, the angry Second Uncle Shu quarreled with Second Aunt Shu for a long time about this, and Second Aunt Shu also counted this account on Pan's and hated her even more.

Pan's family also didn't care about Shu's second aunt, and even during the New Year, the family celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve, and the two made dumplings together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and did not say a word. Pan still seems to treat the Shu family as always, but in fact, he is more polite to others, and although he is still kind to Mrs. Shu, he has a little more respect.

Shu Laosan is very happy for the New Year this year, because Wang Yufen is pregnant! He is also going to be a father, and as soon as he was happy, he bought a bundle of fireworks despite the opposition of Old Man Shu. Aunt Shu also sent a bundle of fireworks a year ago, which her two boys were pestering to buy, and Aunt Shu bought an extra bundle and sent it with the New Year's gift.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Shu Laosan led the boys to set off fireworks, and Qinglan also wanted to see it, and dragged Pan Erniang to let her carry herself. Pan Erniang was worried that there was no excuse to leave, and happily carried Qinglan out of the hall. Today's night was exceptionally dark, and there was not a hint of wind that made Qinglan very unaccustomed. Shu Laosan's fireworks were obviously better than those sent by Aunt Shu, and they burned high and bright. After watching the fireworks, Qinglan was carried back to her small bed by Pan Erniang, she didn't eat enough, and now she can't open her eyes.

Pan Erniang put her on the kang, added a stove, and found that her daughter was asleep, so she lightly undressed her.

Recently, Qinglan has been exhausted. Because of the rapid improvement of her language function, Shu Lao Er began to teach her to memorize Tang poems as soon as she was on vacation.

She didn't hide it either, after all, some Tang poems were too familiar, Shu Lao Er read them three times at most, and she memorized them, and Shu Lao Er was shocked to praise her daughter for being a genius.

During the banquet just now, Shu Lao Er asked Qinglan to recite poems, which meant to show off, and it was also for fun during the New Year. Qinglan didn't squirm either, she memorized three poems generously, her childish voice was crisp, and her shaking head and shaking expression provoked the adults to laugh.

In these laughter, Old Man Shu is proud, Old Lady Shu is approving of it, Second Aunt Shu is smiling and not smiling, and Boss Shu only crooked the corners of his mouth - his son didn't know all the words after a year of learning, let alone memorized any poems! The Qin family is envious, Wang Yufen is surprised, Shu Laosan is longing, only Shu Laosan and his wife are really happy in their hearts and proud of their daughter.

When I got up the next day, it was bright, and Qinglan thought it was late, but when she got out of the house, she realized that it had snowed last night. She jumped and stepped on the snowdrifts on both sides of the yard, giggled and played for a while before going to the main house to pay New Year's greetings.

(Qinglan: Am I so naïve, I just like snow)

Old man Shu gave the juniors New Year's money for the first time: a copper plate for each person, saying that it was a reward for the children to read.

Erlang Saburo has also reached the age when he should study in Mongolia, but the tuition fee is ten taels a year, and three children need 30 taels to go to school at the same time, as well as the cost of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books. Mr. Shu refused to pay tuition for other grandchildren, so Mr. Shu asked his eldest son to teach the two younger ones, which could save a sum of tuition, and when he was eight years old, he might be able to directly enter the Meiban of the county school. But--in addition to eating, it is difficult for these two babies to let them sit for a minute, not to mention reading, Boss Shu's plan is afraid that it will be in vain.

Not everyone can read the county school, and you must pass the exam before you can enter. Even if I studied the Mengban of the county school, I was only slightly more sure than others. The son of Shu's second aunt took the exam for four years before entering, still with the help of the county Cheng's brother-in-law.

In fact, Boss Shu had already come to Shu Lao Er for the matter of his child's reading, and wanted Shu Lao Er to teach. Shu Lao Er thought about it and refused, saying that he himself did not learn systematically, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, afraid that he would not be able to teach the child well, Shu Lao Er knew that his second brother was a solid-eyed person, and he did not force it again.

The next day, she went to her grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Qinglan was very excited.

In addition to the delicious food that I can't wait to break my belly and get the soft New Year's money, the harmonious, lively and cheerful New Year's atmosphere is also the main reason why Qinglan prefers to stay here. During the banquet, Qinglan recited ten Tang poems without repeating them, and the happy Grandpa Pan couldn't stop praising her, and gave her a small rattan box, which was full of books!

You know, books at this time are very expensive, and an enlightened book costs two taels of silver! And in this small rattan box, there are about 20 books, including the books of the old man Pan when he was studying in the county and learning enlightenment, there are words and words, a Tang poem and a Song Ci, Lao Zhuang Confucius and Mencius I Ching, and a set of Romance of the Three Kingdoms! Wow Ka Ka! Couldn't have been more intimate! Qinglan was so happy that her smiling eyes were gone.

Pan Sanniang's husband Xu Jiayan saw it and secretly remembered it in his heart.

On the eve of the Qingming Festival, there are more small traders and vendors selling ingots and incense candles on the street. Old man Shu never let his family buy ready-made ingots, "If it is not solemn, the sacrifice must not be sincere!" "Old man Shu taught several sons and grandsons a lesson during the meal, and announced an important decision of his to go to the Qingming Festival this year, including the pregnant Wang Yufen.

Pan Erniang disagreed very much in her heart. The children were too young to participate in such a scene, and they suffered on the way. And for the sake of children and grandchildren, pregnant women should not be allowed to sweep the grave, who knows what they will bump into. (Mother, you are a little superstitious~)

However, Pan Erniang also knew that even if she said it, it would be in vain, and she gradually understood the mode of operation of this family. Mr. Shu has the absolute right to decide on the outside world, Mr. Shu has 50 percent, Mrs. Shu has ideas on trivial matters, and the second and third Mr. Shu only have the right to make suggestions, and whether the suggestions will be adopted depends on which side Boss Shu is on. And she and the Qin family don't even have the right to suggest, she is better, she still has the right to speak on some major decisions or human affairs, her father-in-law and uncle are okay with her, but the Qin family doesn't even have the right to speak. The current Pan family is also content with their family status and refuses to say a word.

Mrs. Shu began to take her daughter-in-law to stack gold and silver ingots a few days ago, the gold and silver ingots of the Shu family are more broken than others, in addition to being larger (two pieces of silver paper), there are three folds in the middle of the ingots, Mrs. Shu said, this is the mark of the Shu family, the ancestors can receive, knowing that this is the filial piety of their descendants, they bless the children.

Superstition! Qinglan rolled her eyes in her heart, you are too lonely, lonely souls and wild ghosts are also human beings, what's wrong with people's collection? Besides, other people's families will not burn money for your ancestors at your grave!

Mrs. Shu also carefully taught Qing Lan to fold, saying, "You have learned to teach your parents and brother Ang." ”

Qinglan: ...

On the day of the Cold Food Festival, Aunt Shu led her son to live at her grandmother's house, and the two of them also had to go back to their hometown to take a look (Qinglan: Why do you keep following us?). Worship your ancestors, too? Your old Ji family has no ancestors? I really wouldn't come to you in the middle of the night because I was angry? ）

Ji Dong and Da Lang touched eggs in the yard, and Aunt Shu and Mrs. Shu were playing in the house. Mrs. Shu was worried about Aunt Shu's body, and asked why Ji Dong was so old and didn't want to have a second child.

"Mother," Shu Ergu obviously didn't want to say more, "How can this child's affairs be said accurately, let it be." Aunt Shu said perfunctorily to the old lady. In fact, she was pregnant with three children after giving birth to her son, all of which were miscarriages in less than a month, although she did not see a doctor, but she knew in her heart that her body was strong and dry, and she was afraid that it was too hard in her early years to conceive a child. So she dotes on her only son very much, and she also wants to get more money to marry a good girl for her son.

Mrs. Shu wanted to speak and stopped, she wanted to say that the two daughters-in-law were two children in three years, and the younger daughter-in-law was also pregnant as soon as she entered, but she knew her daughter's temperament, and she was afraid that she would be too careful, so she didn't say anything and changed the topic.

"Smack!" Qinglan's egg was beaten to the ground by Erlang, and then Saburo was heard crying and screaming: "You are not fair! ”

It turned out that Pan Erniang took a few duck eggs for Qinglan to eat, and Qinglan tricked her duck eggs into other people's eggs, and she won by touching one by one. The children hadn't seen much duck eggs, and they didn't know it at first, but Qinglan shook her head and smiled and told them (Qinglan: What am I proud of) that I was holding duck eggs, and now Shu Erlang stopped doing it and slapped off the duck eggs in Qinglan's hand.

Mrs. Shu hurriedly got off the kang, looked at the broken duck eggs on the ground and covered with sand and said repeatedly: "Make evil~", and raised her hand to Shu Erlang. "Duck eggs are not eggs! What can't you touch when you touch the eggs! I don't know if I let my sister lose?! "Mrs. Shu reprimanded him. Shu Erlang knew that he had wasted food, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to cry. Qinglan felt very bored, picked up the duck eggs, and went back to her house.

On the day of the Winter Food Festival, you can't start a fire, and usually people will boil eggs the day before, roll out some cakes, and save them for the next day. Pan Erniang didn't go to work today, and after cleaning the house, she began to sort out the clothes sent by her mother's family.

The children grow up fast, and some clothes are worn small after only two washes, Pan Yuanniang and a few children from Uncle Pan's family keep a lot of new clothes, and pick good fabrics to send to Pan Erniang. Qinglan sat in the middle of her clothes, and saw a green gown with a small gown, so she asked Pan Erniang to put it away and put it in the baggage containing her clothes.

Pan Erniang smiled and encouraged her: "When you are going to be admitted to Xiucai, my mother will also make you a body." ”

Qinglan didn't answer, thinking to herself: It's not a good talent to be caught in the exam, and you actually look at me so flat, cut! Twisted his ass and sat with his back to her, fiddling with Mingyu to play. Mingyu was not annoyed, and babbled happily, not knowing what he was talking about. Pan Erniang didn't know how to provoke her daughter, and smacked her: "The cow heart is weird!" Then he continued to clean up.

Before dawn the next day, the whole family got up to wash up and eat breakfast, breakfast was still cakes and eggs, and Qinglan choked and rolled her eyes. After the car arrived, the men of the Shu family tied up the large bags and small bags sent to their hometown, hung up the door, locked them, and whipped away.

Old Man Shu's hometown is in Xihenggou Village, about 20 kilometers north of the county seat. Set off before dawn and arrive at the right time.

Although there were two mule carts, nine adults and six children were still packed. Shu Lao Er sat by the window with Qinglan in his arms and let Pan Erniang lean on his shoulder. Despite the human cushion of Shu Lao Er, Qing Lan was still numb by the upside down, and she dozed off when she was shaking, and then fell asleep in Shu Lao Er's arms on all fours. Shu Lao Er also took his son over and asked Pan Shi to loosen his hands quickly - Mingyu has been eight months old, and he is getting heavier and heavier. Shu Lao Er held the two children on his lap, asked them to find the most comfortable position, and covered them with a thin quilt prepared in advance.

On an early spring day, on a wet and cold road, the family was silent, dozing off with the rocking of the mule cart.

stopped twice on the road, because Wang Yufen couldn't stand the smell of the car and vomited on the side of the road, Shu Laosan watched from the sidelines and was distressed and anxious. Old Man Shu was a little displeased, frowning and waiting.

Before the car reached the entrance of the village, the voice of the old man Shu came one after another: "Uncle! Uncle! ”

It was Shu Xiaotian, the eldest son of the third brother of Old Man Shu, who came to pick up people.

Old man Shu is the fourth, is the youngest son, there are three elder brothers, there was a catastrophe one year, first the father and mother did not eat the right thing and poisoned, and then the eldest brother and the eldest brother-in-law were killed by the bandits who came down to rob, the second sister married far away, and now only the eldest sister and the third brother are left in the hometown.

Old man Shu was very happy, got out of the car and walked back with his nephew on foot, taking a look at the fields by the way. The mule cart continued on and stopped at the second gate at the entrance to the village.

This is Aunt Shu's house, an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, with only three stone mud houses with thatched roofs, the small courtyard is not large, and it is surrounded by a fence. On the left hand side is a chicken pen and a pigsty connected to the thatched house, on the right hand side is a stone mill and a fragrant bud tree, and the backyard is very small, growing some green vegetables.

Hearing the sound of the wheels, Aunt Shu's eldest son led his daughter-in-law and children to greet him warmly, and the group got out of the car, greeted and went inside, and the grandchildren of the third old man Shu also came out to move things.

When Qinglan woke up, she was still in Shu Laoer's arms. Rural people eat early, and the meal is already on the table. Qinglan glanced around, there were not many dishes, stir-fried vegetables with wild vegetables, and the only two meat dishes were pig's head meat and roast chicken brought by Old Man Shu, as well as a large basket of black flour steamed buns. At a table on the ground, the juniors such as Shu Lao Er were crowded together, and on the kang table, it was Shu Lao Gu and the older generation who were sitting.

Qinglan looked at the cracked big clay bowl and had no appetite, and Shu Lao Er fed it three times before taking a bite. Gaba! Qinglan ate a piece of sand. Gaba! Shu Lao Er also ate sand, and Qinglan was so close that she heard the sound of sand and teeth colliding!

But Shu Lao Er swallowed it casually, and praised Qinglan with a smile: "This melon is really crispy." ”

Qinglan lost her appetite even more.

Aunt Shu leaned crookedly on the kang head, and said to Shu Lao Er with a smile: "Xiao Nian, your girl is not good to feed, don't eat." The room fell silent all of a sudden, as if it was not an old lady from the countryside who had just spoken, but the Queen Mother who lived in the palace.
